Chapter 387: A New Method of Seduction (Part 1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Special Superpowers were also simply called superpowers before the apocalypse. There was nothing distinctively special about them. However, since the Metahumans awakened in the apocalypse, they showed certain patterns and characteristics in their powers. That made the powers fall outside these patterns and characteristics to be called “Special Superpowers”.
That was because there were many powers out there, and some of them were extremely weird.
However, the Metahuman Squad had conducted investigations on all the Special Metahumans in the country. Finding suitable targets to recruit and nurture was what Shen Zhiting had been doing all this time.
If it was a Special Metahuman that even he hadn’t discovered, it was then either someone whose superpower had just awakened or he hadn’t had the time to investigate yet.
It was for those reasons, or there was something that prevented him from discovering the Special Metahuman.
Shen Zhiting frowned.
“Why do you say he has a Special Superpower? Is he fast or something else?” Eleven became slightly interested.
“Who knows? Maybe it’s invisibility?” Dumei recalled the scene at that time. “He disappeared in front of my eyes in an instant. I couldn’t locate him at all. I wanted to have a talk with him, but he didn’t even give me the chance. 1 haven’t even said anything, but he seemed to know why I was there already.”
“Was there a leak?” Eighth looked at Tang Susu almost immediately. The only outsiders the Metahuman Squad had any contact with recently would be Tang Susu and the others.
In fact, the squad basically didn’t maintain any close contact with any outsiders, unless there was some mission that required them to disguise themselves to infiltrate the enemy, but they wouldn’t use their true identity, anyway.
Not to mention that the other party was given a communicator.
Tang Mingchu was a little angry. “Why are you looking at us? We want to know more about Zhang Yuanyan than you guys, you know!”
Shen Zhiting looked up at Tang Susu, but it wasn’t because he doubted her, but because he just found out that they were looking for Zhang Yuanyan as well. “Doesn’t that make even more sense?” Eighth muttered, “Someone went there yesterday, right?”
Even Dumei looked at Tang Susu. In her eyes, this was a woman with her own objectives. Now that she had the motive, she was indeed quite suspicious.
“There’s no reason for me to do that.” They knew that if she asked, a certain someone would likely give him to her without her having to go through so much trouble in the first place.
“When I know you’re looking for him, I’ve already quit.” Tang Susu didn’t hide her attitude at all. Shen Zhiting clenched his fists. Of course, he could see that she had been rejecting his help.
“I don’t want to waste my effort. Compared to our conditions, I think Zhang Yuanyan will be more interested in helping the country. You have a greater chance of succeeding than I do.”
Eighth didn’t expect her to expose her weakness. ‘Even though she wasn’t that strong to begin with,’ he thought in his mind. However, when he remembered how she wielded the power of lightning in one hand and the wind in another, he couldn’t say anything cheeky to her at all.
“The other thing is that this ‘Zhang Yuanyan’ is different from the ‘Zhang Yuanyan’ that I understand. That makes me very doubtful.”
Everyone immediately sat up straight. “There’s a discrepancy? Where?”
“I heard from others that although Zhang Yuanyan is someone whose ability is considered a national treasure, he is also someone who cares about fame and money. Logically speaking, such a person wouldn’t stay in a small place to build it up, nor would he reject an invitation from others.”
Just like Professor He from Chongzhou Shelter, he needed something tacky and a platform to show his talents.
“But now, not only is his action out of character, he looks like he doesn’t care about anything else other than his constructions, and no one may disturb him.”
The Metahuman Squad had all known about what she said. They simply didn’t think as deeply as she did.
“Maybe it’s a change in personality caused by the apocalypse?”
“He might have gone mad from the fear.”
“Don’t tell me he became a zombie already?”
For a moment, everyone’s imagination was running wild. Tang Susu was just providing them with an idea. Of course, it was also possible that she was overthinking the situation.
However, there were too many variables about him, so she gave up on him. Especially now that he had even escaped from the Metahuman Squad, she felt he was even more mysterious and difficult to control than before.
Shen Zhiting immediately arranged for the two of them to investigate more about Zhang Yuanyan. He also asked Eleven and Qing Mo to wait in the places where he might appear.
“If we run into him again, use the tracking device.”
Once they received their orders, they immediately left for their mission in the middle of the night.
Mr. Tang wanted them to have dinner before leaving. After all, tonight might be their last meal together. The Metahuman Squad had been taking good care of them these days.
Since the Metahuman Squad was not around, they made a simple meal for dinner after a busy day.
Mr. Tang and Tang Mingqi would make the preparations while Tang Susu could have some rest..
