Chapter 15: Mission Objectives
ill Lianyi. This was given to you by your mother."Old Master Du smiled and said.Thank you, Grandfather!Ripples smiled and agreed.That evening, the Du family gathered together for a rare occasion. They...Wu Lianyi's fair and delicate hands were clasped with a powerful hand. No one could have imagined that this slender and frail woman possessed such strength.
"Hawk Wing Captain, humans are evolving, and these zombies are evolving too. If their evolution rate surpasses ours, we're the ones who'll suffer. So while we can still use thermal weapons, let's kill as many as we can!"
Wu Lianyi said seriously, this is a blatant reminder to the other party, she believes that someone must have thought of it too.
As expected, Ying Yi's gaze merely nodded. Then the two released their clasped hands, acknowledging each other's presence.
Wu Lianyi then easily pulled up Sun Wang, who was sitting on the ground, and asked with concern:
"Brother, are you feeling better"
Sun Wang's body reflexively shook, and he immediately stood up with the help of Lian Ri's power. He stood straight and said:
"Ripple Sister, you can call me Sun Wang. I'm fine, and it seems like I've even broken through!"
"It seems that human potential is limitless. We can always improve if we push ourselves. You have to work hard, you still have a sister to take care of!"
Wu Lianyi patted the other person on the shoulder and smiled, almost sending Sun Wang tumbling back to the ground.
"Rest assured, Sister Ripple. I won't miss any chance to improve my abilities."
As the two walked and talked, their words reached the ears of those with superpowers. Their demeanor also truly gave face to the superhuman community, so everyone politely gathered around to introduce themselves. They mainly wanted to ask Sun Wang about his breakthrough experience as a reference.
Sun Wang, under Wu Lianyi's hint, spoke without reservation about how he risked his life when being exploited. As a result, he unintentionally broke through his limits and his speed increased again. Now his teleportation distance should be able to reach one hundred meters.
After Zhao Chonglin and the six others were rescued, they took a moment to catch their breath before thanking Ying Yi. They then specifically thanked Wu Lianyi, forming an even deeper impression of this powerful woman.
"Ms. Wu, thank you for risking your life to save me!"
Zhao Chonglin bowed to Wu Lianyi before speaking, "Thank you."
"You're welcome! You were trapped to rescue the crowd, you fearlessly faced danger and death. Now that I have the ability, of course I want to do my part too."
Zhao Chonglin and the people behind him had another level of appreciation for Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang.
After a brief exchange, they dispersed to assemble, presumably for a continuous operation to transport people remaining within the city.
The attacks from behind rang out once more, this time with the Awakened joining in actively. They seemed determined not to miss out on this chance for experience, who knows if they might even level up their abilities! Meanwhile, Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang took a temporary breather at the rear.
Have you determined your task objectives
Wu Lianyi questioned in her mind.
"Zzzzt"
"Don't pretend the signal is bad, tell the truth!"
"Leaving Yunrou's soul, entering the body of an evolved zombie"
"Tsk tsk, this one knows she can't be human anymore, so she turned into a zombie! What level is she Where is she While she's still unconscious, I'll go take her out!"
Wu Lianyi is just that straightforward.
"The target is currently a Level 1 zombie and can control surrounding Level 0 zombies. However, their consciousness hasn't awakened yet, so they are mixed in with the zombies that attacked the military truck earlier. You struck them down with your sword, and they sensed the threat, fleeing directly into the city."
"Ran!"
"Yes."
Wu Lianyi's lips twitched after hearing this. If she had known that the soul from another world was mixed in with the zombies, she wouldn't have held back her sword just now.
"You keep an eye on your target. With my current capabilities, I can't pursue her alone. I'll have to wait for the right opportunity!"
"Yes!"
Then the communicator fell silent again.
Wu Lianyi didn't expect the difficulty of the third-level mission to be so high. Before, because the other party was in Yunrou's body, she had some advantages with her God's perspective. Now that the other party has directly transformed from a human into a zombie, some information she knew became useless, and she needed to grasp the timing herself.
Before the sun set again, this zombie horde was dealt with, leaving only a few people to clean up the battlefield and burn the zombies. The rest returned to the temporary shelter by vehicle.
Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two people unharmed getting out of the car, and went straight up to them.
"Ripples, little brother, how are you doing"
"Sister, you don't have to worry, both of us are fine. We even made quite a name for ourselves today!"
Sun Wang's mouth opened and closed as he began recounting the details of his mission's completion.
As the three returned to their temporary residence, Sun Yi wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead. She couldn't help but give herself a nod of approval for their decision to embrace Wu Lianyi's thigh.
Wu Lianyi was much calmer. She was focusing on the target, now a zombie, and thinking about how to kill it.
Five days later, the opportunity came.
This time, it was Ying Yi who approached Wu Lianyi. They were going to the city center to kill level-zero zombies and investigate if any had evolved into higher levels. Gathering resources was a secondary objective.
It was just as if she had been waiting for this, she could now openly go to the city and slay that bug. So she readily agreed.
"Assemble at the designated location's entrance at 9:00 AM tomorrow. We will provide you with weapons, and we will cover all expenses incurred during the mission. All you need to ensure is that you are in good physical condition."
Eaglewing had bronze skin and an average appearance, blending into a crowd the moment he entered it. The only distinctive feature was his pair of eyes. When the other party sought out Wu Lianyi, they immediately recognized her through those very eyes.
"OK, no problem, see you tomorrow!"
Seeing the other party leave, Sun's siblings discussed for a moment, and this time, Sun Yi also wanted to act with Wu Lianyi.
"Sun Wang can barely make it, but Sun Yi, you are just an ordinary person now. If it were a normal mission, taking you wouldn't be a problem, but this time the focus is on assassination, and they probably won't agree to let you join."
Wu Lianyi directly refused, she couldn't be distracted and take care of two people at the same time.
"Sister, do you think there is risk in our mission this time"
Sun gazed expectantly.
"There are no bad vibes at the moment."
Then you stay behind to keep watch, and I'll go with Lianyi. My ability upgraded last mission, so I need more practice.
Sun Wang was successfully brainwashed by Wu Lianyi and clenched his fists to encourage himself.
The next day, the two arrived at the meeting point on time. This time, all those present were soldiers from the army, including the Eagle Wing squad, but there weren't many invited psychics.
Wu Lianyi glanced over and found that they were all extraordinary beings who had performed well in previous missions. The arrogant-looking extraordinary being was not among them.
"Let's go!"
At a command, Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang got into the military truck where the Eagle Wing Team was seated. It was obvious that they were assigned to the same group for action.
Sitting in the train car, Sun Wang was touching the weapons they had given him: a sharp combat knife, a handgun, an assault rifle, and two magazines. His long-handled knife was strapped to his back, and he wore a bulletproof vest.wever, I can send you away early. Anyway, the other party will have to stay here for at least five years. By then, they'll be able to reach the Golden Core stage and be able to protect themselves."If...
