Chen Chong and An Mian quietly left the military base, heading toward the exit.
As for An Xinling, she had left the base last night, meeting with her officers and heading to the governor's residence to arrange defenses.
Zhao Yi, beside Qin Jun, glanced at the two quietly leaving without speaking.
Qin Jun had already instructed him yesterday not to stop Chen Chong.
In fact, the lieutenant An Mian contacted yesterday 'turned himself in' to Zhao Yi after hanging up.
He was indeed an An Family man, but with Jiangjing's crisis, who didn't look for a way out?
The rise of the An Family was too recent, starting only after An Feng took office, incomparable to the Qin Family, a true aristocratic clan with generations of nobility.
An Mian knew none of this.
At the exit, Chen Chong saw the lieutenant — surname Wang, thick eyebrows, honest-looking.
He came from a rural family and had barely made it to military academy, but couldn't afford tuition.
An Feng, upon hearing this, funded his schooling, and after graduation helped him enter the garrison under the An Family's protection as a lieutenant.
Without the An Family, Wang might still be farming at home.
"Miss!"
Lieutenant Wang immediately greeted Chen Chong with a nod, then eyed him curiously.
Chen Chong had suddenly become so strong, a mutation that amazed the surrounding soldiers.
"I have arranged everything. These are my men. Hurry up."
"Thanks, Brother Wang!"
Wang smiled honestly, nodded, and led An Mian and Chen Chong out of the base.
Yet Chen Chong felt uneasy.
Everything was too smooth.
So smooth that even he found it hard to believe!
Though all went as planned, Chen Chong, experienced by his last life, grew wary — the smoother things went, the more suspicious he felt.
In the apocalypse, suspicion was necessary for survival!
Chen Chong asked An Mian, "Little Mian, you didn't tell anyone what I told you yesterday, right?"
An Mian hesitated, thinking of Su Ya's plea, then nodded: "I told no one!"
Chen Chong did not doubt her. He trusted An Mian was pure and wouldn't lie or hide anything.
But he noticed a talisman hanging at An Mian's waist. Chen Chong's keen eyes immediately caught the extra item.
"Little Mian, what's this?"
An Mian panicked; she hadn't expected Chen Chong to be so observant.
Caught!
But remembering her promise to Su Ya, she said, "A friend gave it to me. I haven't worn it before."
Seeing An Mian's shrinking gaze, Chen Chong shook his head but didn't press further.
He trusted An Mian wouldn't harm him.
"Let's go."
......
At the military base, after some unknown time, the golden light around Qin Jun slowly faded.
Soldiers gazed at him with reverence.
He seemed like a god, shining golden; some superstitious soldiers even thought Qin Jun was a reincarnated immortal....
Qin Jun stared at his finger — this must be the talent awakening Chen Chong spoke of.
A memory suddenly appeared in his mind, telling him this was S-tier talent — psychic control.
Now, he was an evolver!
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and stretched his finger. Next moment, a nearby armored vehicle was lifted by an unknown force, floating midair.
The soldiers gasped!
That vehicle weighed tons!
Several researchers stared wide-eyed, murmuring: "Impossible... this can't be!"
"This isn't scientific!"
Others looked at the old men with dumbfounded expressions.
Damn, the black obelisk appeared, and you still want me to believe in science?!
Explain it with science if you can!
Maybe the recent upheavals were too shocking, so people quickly accepted supernatural powers.
After all, zombies appeared, the black obelisks appeared.
What's one more supernatural ability?...
Qin Jun casually dropped the armored vehicle, breathing heavily, nerves slightly aching.
His body had yet to fully adapt to supernatural talent.
Complete adaptation would take days.
Qin Jun glanced at Su Ya, eyes flickering oddly. She had awakened talent too!
But he paid little attention; no matter her talent, she was still just his plaything.
Zhao Yi hurried forward, respectfully looking at Qin Jun, whispering: "Young master, per your orders, Chen Chong and company have left."
Qin Jun nodded with a faint smile.
Though he had just awakened S-tier talent, the more he had, the greedier he became.
S-tier talent was already so insanely powerful — what about SSS-tier talent?
At that moment, an intelligence officer rushed over shouting: "Division Commander Zhao, the lockdown line is near collapse!
Over ten thousand have gathered near Jiangbei Bridge, trying to break through."
Everyone's expression changed immediately.
Over ten thousand?
How many were T-Virus infected?
If the line was broken, rebuilding would be difficult; zombies in the lockdown would flood out.
Now, even listening to Qin Jun, Zhao Yi grew anxious.
He said to Qin Jun: "Young master, the situation is out of control. You must leave Jiangjing at once via airport!"
He resolved that if Qin Jun refused, he would have him forcibly taken.
Offending Qin Jun had serious consequences, but if Qin Jun suffered, the fallout would be worse — his whole family could perish!
Qin Jun frowned tightly.
Though awakened to supernatural talent, he needed days to master it fully.
If the line fell, danger was immense.
But to give up the SSS-tier talent seed?
No!
A cruel glint appeared in Qin Jun's eyes. He coldly said to Zhao Yi: "Division Commander Zhao, blow up Jiangbei Bridge!"
"What!?"
Even Zhao Yi was stunned.
Jiangbei Bridge was the only road out of the lockdown, trapping hundreds of thousands, even millions of ordinary people inside.
Destroying Jiangbei Bridge meant condemning them to die!
