Ch. 69

"Sister Lou Ai, I think this will look great with your clothes." Xia Lu pointed at a pair of yellow and blue checkered cloth hairpins and said seriously.

During the break, Lou Ai went to the restroom at the rest stop, changed into the wide-leg jeans she found in the car, a turmeric T-shirt, and a white silk scarf tie. When she was driving again, she sat in the passenger seat and pulled out a bunch of hairpins. The sound of hairpins attracted the attention of Chen Youbo, Xia Lu, and Song Yi.

"No, I think the blue flower looks pretty, and the combination of yellow and blue is eye-catching." Chen Youbo expressed his opinion.

"I think white is better, it's simple and clean." Song Yi also spoke up.

Lou Ai glanced at the hairpins in front of her. Apart from the colors, Chen Youbo and Song Yi chose plastic flower hairpins, the kind that children wear, without any designs at all. She collected them to make up the number and never wore them. Lou Ai glanced at the cute felt hairpins next to them and gave each of them one of the hairpins they chose: "I give them to you, one each, and give them to your daughters in the future."

"Goodbye. Given the current situation in our country, it's hard to say whether you can get a wife in the future, let alone a daughter." Chen Youbo did not take the hairpin.

"It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. Can't you see that I'm looking for reasons to reject your suggestions?" Lou Ai asked back.

Chen Youbo: "I'll keep it for you. If you wear it in the future, your fathers will think they are a generation older than you." Xia Lu and Song Yi couldn't help laughing in the back seat.

Lou Ai: "... Get lost, do we have enough gasoline? Just run over the zombies in front." Not far in front of the highway, four or five wandering zombies were attracted by the sound of the car. They twisted their legs and feet, and dragged their bodies towards the car.

"Enough, enough gasoline." Chen Youbo said, and stepped on the accelerator with more force. The car made a buzzing vibration and ran over the zombies. One time was not enough, so he turned over and ran over them again. After parking the car, Xia Lu came down with a knife, quickly killed several zombies, and dug out the crystal cores in their brains.

"Awooo!" Before Xia Lu had time to get into the car, a series of wolf howls suddenly came from the protective forest next to the highway.

"What's that sound?" Xia Lu turned his head to look over, then quickly ran to the back of the car and got in.

"It's a mutant wolf." Lou Ai narrowed her eyes and looked at the bushes over there. "There are also human cries for help. From the sound of the human being being chased by wolves, he looks very embarrassed. There must be wind or speed abilities in him. I just don't know if it's the mutant wolf's ability or the ability of the person who escaped."

"Chen Youbo, drive forward to the signpost ahead." Lou Ai commanded. The highway was a straight road, and the signpost was about 800 meters away from the bushes. "From there I can see the movements here clearly. If the situation is not right, we will leave directly. If the situation is suitable, we will rescue them. I heard that there are quite a few people. Let's not ignore them after we rescue them. There are many abandoned vehicles here. Just driving a few of them will be enough for them to reach the capital base."

Chen Youbo nodded and drove the car to the road sign without questioning.

Lou Ai opened the car door, got out of the car and stood next to the door. Xia Lu and a few others also leaned out of the door and looked back.

From the other side of the woods, ten people came running out one after another, led by a muscular, bald middle-aged man. They were all wearing black sportswear that was covered with fallen leaves and white dust. Several people were supporting each other. Their legs were bloody with teeth marks and wounds from animal bites. Because they were not treated in time, the most serious one was bleeding profusely. More than a dozen people had guns in their hands, but they probably had no bullets. They held the guns directly by the tips, and there was blood at the tail of the gun. It seemed that they were hitting the prey directly with the gun tips.

Following closely behind the dozen people was a pack of gray wolves over one meter tall, with more than twenty of them. The wolf king in the lead had smooth fur, fierce eyes, and a powerful howl that was faintly drowned out by the cries for help from the group of people.

"Awooo!" The gray wolves roared one after another, and the figures rushing out showed a tendency to be surrounded.

"Help, help, we are from the Capital Base." The bald man in the lead ran for a distance and saw a human figure not far away. He couldn't help but shout, his voice hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time, as if his throat was broken by shouting, "We can get a temporary residence permit for the Capital Base, please help us."

Lou Ai just watched quietly without taking any action until the group of men were about to be caught up by the Gray Wolf King and the clothes of the man at the tail were torn off by the wolf's mouth. Then Lou Ai raised her hand and fired.

"Bang." The gray wolf king dodged the flying bullet and the tone of his howl changed at the same time.

The wolf king's voice was like breaking some kind of confinement. He had nearly ten wolves under his command, and they moved twice as fast. They got in front of the bald man first and stopped the group of people. The wolf king's eyes swept over the humans around him and looked straight at Lou Ai, as if testing whether Lou Ai would attack them if they did not move forward. After just one encounter, the gray wolf king judged that the people in front of him were strong enemies.

"Help!" The bald man was stopped and with a nervous look he condensed a metal ball in his palm. The metal ball turned into scattered metal nails that flew out. The nails pierced into the gray wolf's fur one by one, and then were blocked by the wolf's fur and bounced all over the ground.

Lou Ai calculated in her mind based on the strength of the supernatural ability and concluded that the bald man was a supernatural user close to the second level.

"Awoo, awoo!" The howling of wolves continued. Lou Ai noticed that after the wolves came over, the zombies wandering on the highway went far away and disappeared. The leader wolf also had some simple wisdom. This group of gray wolves could not block the attack of the second-level psychic by a single wolf, but through the medium of the leader wolf.

She had encountered many such animal groups in her previous life. The hunting wisdom led by wolves, lions and sheep was no less than that of humans.

Usually at this time, as long as you can scare the leader, you have most likely won. Wolves are very precious about their lives and of course they also hold grudges.

"F#ck." The sound of the gun hitting the wolf's fur was muffled and depressing.

After a long time, the bald man led a group of people out of a small path, panting and trying to run towards Lou Ai.

The leader wolf once again sent out wolves to block the bald man.

"Lou Ai, what should we do? Should we charge?" Chen Youbo frowned and asked, "I think that bald man is quite powerful, but these wolves are a bit weird. Are you sure you can beat them?"

"Help, help us." The bald man's forehead was covered with sweat, and he shouted with all his might. In this world, the only people who stood there instead of running away after seeing them being chased by wolves were either scared silly or capable people who were sure they could rescue them.

"You stay here and meet Xia Lu and Song Yi, I'll go over, I'm sure you can do it." Lou Ai said, and the spear Xiao Zuo gave her appeared in her hand.

"Okay." Chen Youbo naturally had no objection. "If you need any help, just shout. I can at least throw Xia Lu over to you for treatment."

"No need." As soon as the words fell, Lou Ai rushed out like an arrow.

"Sister Lou Ai's speed has increased again, much faster!" Xia Lu said with admiration.

"After all, it's the third level. I feel like I'm almost at the second level. It's just a matter of a few days." Chen Youbo looked at Lou Ai with envy.

When she rushed to about eighteen meters away from the wolf pack, the spear in Lou Ai's hand shot out, brushing past the ears of several of the bald man's subordinates and piercing into the wolf king's ear. The spear was originally aimed at the wolf king's head, but because the wolf king reacted quickly, it only hit the ear.

The huge impact force caused the gun tip to pierce the wolf king's ear. The bright red blood dripped onto the wolf king's hair, dyeing the gray hair red.

"Awooo." The wolf king quickly threw the spear over his ear a few times. The angry roar caused the wolf pack to riot. The eyes looking at Lou Ai were already filled with anger. Lou Ai controlled the spear to buzz and drill into the wolf king's ear. It was the first time to use the space ability, and the whole weapon seemed very unsatisfactory, but it was indeed very lethal. Lou Ai listened to the wolf king's screams, dodged the figure of the gray wolf pack flying over, took out a dagger in her hand, and rushed to the wolf king in an instant.

A wolf with smooth fur next to the wolf king came towards Lou Ai and bit her.

Lou Ai took the opportunity to pry open the wolf's mouth with her fingers, and her fingers collided with the wolf's teeth. She stuffed the dagger in her hand into the wolf's mouth. When she used her spatial ability, she could clearly see the position of the dagger in the wolf's throat. She followed the instructions of the space and slowly stabbed the dagger into its throat.

The wolf king had already pulled down the spear from above his head, his ears were covered in blood. He rushed over, his speed almost reaching that of a second-level mutant, and bit Lou Ai's arm with his teeth, so hard that Lou Ai could even feel a dull pain in his arm.

Of course, the wolf king was not feeling well either. After just one hit, he began to consider retreating.

"Ah, ah!" The wolf king took a half step back and roared louder. Lou Ai did not fight much. When the wolf pack followed the wolf king to evacuate, only the wolf whose throat was stabbed by the dagger was left. The wolf's voice was worn out by the dagger in the throat, and it could not even scream. It half lay on the ground, only making painful nasal sounds through its nose. In Lou Ai's space, the dagger stabbed into the stomach through the throat, and shredded the intestines inside the stomach.

But you can't tell from the outside, only the blood flowing from the wolf's mouth reveals a bloody smell.

The wolf fell to the ground in a miserable state.

There was silence on the highway for a while. The bald man's men couldn't help but speak sweet words when they were fighting off the wolves, but now they looked at the gray wolf with its eyes open and unwilling to close, and they couldn't help but fall silent. This woman was a ruthless character.

Even in their capital base, there are only a handful of people who can beat away this group of wolves so easily.

Several people had the same first impression that Lou Ai should not be provoked.

Lou Ai picked up her spear, took out a wet towel from her pocket, carefully wiped the blood off it, then used another dagger to dig out the crystal core in the mutant wolf's brain. She wiped the crystal core slowly and put the things away. Then she looked up at the bald man: "Hello, my name is Lou Ai, what are your names? How did you get involved with this group of mutant wolves?"

The bald man and his men exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "Hello, my name is Yan Guoqing, I'm a superpower user at the Capital Base. The team I lead are all superpower users. This time we came out to take on a secret mission. On the way back from the mission, one of my team members killed a lone mutant wolf. We wanted to start a fire and cook something to eat, but we didn't expect to be targeted by the wolf pack. The wolf pack must have come here after smelling the scent of the lone wolf. There were originally more than forty wolves, and we used all our superpowers to kill only half of them, and the wolf king wasn't hurt at all."

Yan Guoqing touched his bald head and said, "Our team's car is parked not far in front of the highway. We can get there in a short walk."

"You said you could get a temporary residence certificate for the Capital Base. Is that true?" Lou Ai asked.

“That’s right. I have a relative working there, so I can get a temporary residence certificate. So when we return to the capital base, you and my teammates can wait outside for a while. I will help you apply for the temporary residence certificate and send it out directly to you when the time comes.” Yan Guoqing said very friendly, “How many people do you have?” With a powerful psychic like Lou Ai, it is impossible for their capital base to push them out. They can have as many temporary residence certificates as they want.

"One." Lou Ai said. She, Chen Youbo and Xia Lu were all communication psychics, and they could obtain proof of residence through normal channels. But Song Yi was different. He needed a temporary residence certificate. "It's a boy. Go to the front and ask him directly for any information you need."

"Okay." Yan Guoqing nodded with a smile.

Seeing Lou Ai coming over, Chen Youbo smiled and said, "Brother, you're awesome!"

Lou Ai straightened her clothes and nodded, "Master, go check the information with Yan Guoqing and ask him to apply for a temporary residence certificate for you."

Xia Lu looked at the young man behind Yan Guoqing, whose white bones were faintly visible on his legs, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Yan Guoqing looked at the people in front of him with a faint smile on his face. He did not dare to underestimate the person who could get along with Lou Ai. He walked up to Song Yi and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Yan Guoqing. The fee for applying for a temporary residence permit is six zero-level crystal cores. The only information we need to know is your name, age, whether you have a disability, and if you have special abilities, you need to show them. We will put the landline number on the temporary residence permit, so that it will be easier for you to find a job after you get the temporary residence permit."

Song Yi's round face showed no expression. He just kept tapping with her fingers beside his legs. He looked at Yan Guoqing and hesitated to speak: "Hello, my name is Song Yi, I'm a Taoist priest, thirty years old, and I don't have any special abilities. Brother, I can tell from the moment I see you that you are destined to live a long life. You have everything in your life, including wealth, longevity, happiness and prosperity. Even in this environment, you will definitely have a good life. However, there is one thing that is not good."

Yan Guoqing's mouth twitched. He never believed in fortune-telling, but looking at Song Yi's expectant eyes, he still asked: "...Where?"

"It's about your children's fate. If I calculated correctly, you have a son, right?" Song Yi said.

"Indeed." Yan Guoqing nodded, "But my son is usually very well behaved and knows when to act. He only got into trouble once in junior high school, and I taught him a lesson afterwards. He has never done anything out of line since then, and he gets along well with his classmates. He is now in the trial camp of the superpower team, and he is working very hard."

"No, no, this can only be regarded as your son's disguise. The only bad thing in your life that has ruined your mood is your son."

The smile on Yan Guoqing's face faded. This person doesn't know how to talk. Who said something bad about his son right away? He changed the subject and said, "Okay, thank you for your advice. I will be more careful. Where did you release this from?"

"We came from the Qiang'an base. Lou Ai and the others were all sent here as supernatural beings." Song Yi did not mention it again and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate us. We are from a small place. These people are very capable and have outstanding appearances."

Yan Guoqing watched Xia Lu run towards his wounded soldier with a smile on his face, and then healed a wound so deep that the bone could be seen, until it was only slightly scabbed. This was faster than any healing power he had ever seen. His expression became more serious, and he praised, "Indeed, you are a young hero."

*

At this time, at the gate of the capital base, He Chao was standing at the door of the registration office. He was sent here to guard the gate of the base almost immediately after completing the training in the past two days. According to Yan Sheng and others, he must wait for the people with special abilities in Qiang'an base.

He came here the same way at the beginning. As soon as he arrived, Yan Sheng and his men gave him a severe warning.

He was full of resentment at the time, looking at that group of people picking on him, but he didn't expect that when Yan Sheng's former followers were promoted to formal members of the superpower team, he would become the one to do such things.
