Chapter 4-Awakening
In the D-level formation, Zheng Xinjian was the first to suggest, "If we join forces, we're sure to survive to the end."
The teleporting woman stared in astonishment, her eyes wide: "Are you crazy? How could you..."
As they were talking, a speed-type ability user rushed toward an armed man, attempting to snatch the submachine gun from his hand.
However, before he could succeed, he was shot down.
"See? Joey, you're barely able to protect yourself. If you don't team up, you're just waiting to die."
After saying that, the big guy turned around and rushed into the group of Muggles, throwing punches continuously.
Most of the superpowered individuals took action, targeting Muggles and low-level superpowered individuals.
Long before Zheng Xinjian made his move, Ji Chenyu had already rushed to Qi Te's side, picked up his good brother, and hid behind a bookshelf as quickly as possible.
"What to do, what to do..."
Ji Chenyu was already in a panic, his brain was practically turned to mush, all he knew was to save his good brother, he couldn't think of anything else.
"Chenyu"
Qi Te pointed in the direction of the restroom, and Ji Chenyu, without saying a word, picked him up and rushed in that direction.
Although the battle royale has begun, it remains to be seen whether the armed groups will stop the two men's actions. However, there is no other way at the moment, so they can only take the risk.
Under load, Ji Chenyu cannot reach his limit of 1 second for the 100-meter dash, but his speed is still fast enough.
In the blink of an eye, he passed through bookshelves and was about to enter the aisle when two armed men, both superhumans, caught up with him.
As the two men raised their guns and pulled the triggers, a whirlwind suddenly exploded beneath their feet.
When air is compressed to a certain degree and then suddenly released, it forms an air cannon—this is Cao Yingchong's signature skill. Although it doesn't have the destructive power of a chemical explosion, it's still enough to kill someone.
Qi Te knew without looking that it was the squad leader who had come to the rescue, and immediately shouted, "Follow me!"
Cao Yingchong and the teleporting woman Qiao Yi disappeared from their spots and entered the corridor almost simultaneously with Ji Chenyu.
The four of them rushed into the men's restroom. Cao Yingchong locked the door, while Qiao Yi rushed over to open the window, but Qi Te quickly stopped her, saying, "There are people outside!"
"How did you know?" Joey asked in surprise.
"They control the entire academy, so there must be guards outside. It won't be that easy to escape."
Qi Te pointed to the ceiling above the corner and said very quickly, "The library has a ceiling height of eleven meters. Break through the ventilation duct and go up. There is a laser light in the Starry Sky Audio-Visual Room on the fifth floor."
Cao Yingchong reacted instantly and charged up his energy again to create an air cannon.
The ceiling is not a solid wall, but a panel that can be easily penetrated with a single blow.
Qiao Yi immediately took Cao Yingchong with her and teleported to the ceiling. Her level was limited; she could only take one person at a time.
When she reappeared, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door.
"Bring Qi Te first..."
Before Ji Chenyu could finish speaking, the door was kicked open by the burly man.
"Walk!"
Qi Te pushed Ji Chenyu forward, turned around and rushed towards the door, using his body to block the gun muzzle.
If the three of them can successfully reach the fifth floor and turn on the laser lights to send a distress signal, the Supernatural Abilities Management Bureau and the Investigation Bureau will definitely be able to capture the footage and then locate the academy.
That way, more people can be saved.
He was just a Muggle, and in this situation, he would inevitably become a burden to the team.
'Bang bang bang'
Gunshots rang out.
"No, Zite..."
Qi Te felt a sharp pain in his chest and vaguely heard Ji Chenyu's heart-wrenching roar.
He felt as if he had fallen into a cold, sticky swamp; his body quickly lost sensation, and his consciousness dissipated.
......................
"Jiang Luo has made a new prophecy!"
"On June 18th, a meteorite with a diameter exceeding two kilometers will collide with Earth!"
Like a drowning person suddenly surfacing, Qi Te gasped for breath and then stared in utter astonishment at everything around him.
Outside the window, dark clouds loomed, while inside the classroom, students were engaged in a lively discussion.
"What's going on?"
Did I just have a dream while I was asleep?
Zite subconsciously considered this possibility, but quickly dismissed it.
No.
It's not a dream. I don't have the ability to foresee the future, so how could I dream of a scene that is exactly the same as what's happening now?
The answer is obvious: he was reborn.
Furthermore, it takes us back to before the academy was attacked by terrorists.
"I've suddenly awakened?"
"No, if rebirth is my superpower, then I wouldn't be able to detect it before I died."
So, I'm not actually a Muggle; it's just that my abilities haven't been discovered yet.
The above thoughts flashed through Qi Te's mind, and then he noticed that the tablet screen in front of him was a little blurry.
He took off his glasses, and the blurred data suddenly became clear.
My eyesight has improved!
Could this be something that comes with the ability?
The question flashed through my mind, but there was no time to think about it. The most important thing right now was to find a way to save the academy.
Qi Te took out his phone; it was 15:07 PM, and there was still a signal.
He jumped up and ran towards the nearest stairwell.
With time running out, Qi Te decisively chose Yue Wanwan over the Bureau of Investigation hotline.
The teaching buildings are all high-rise buildings, and elevators are used to go up and down the floors. Only in case of danger such as fire will people use the stairwells.
Just as Qi Te was about to push open the stairwell door, several colorful figures suddenly appeared before him.
There's someone behind the door!
Furthermore, do their own eyes possess infrared imaging capabilities?
Qi Te was astonished. He tiptoed back and turned to run towards the restroom at the end of the corridor.
The militants had already laid in ambush in various locations, and it's possible that some possessed extraordinary hearing. All superpowers have limitations and are divided into active and passive types; sensory superpowers mostly belong to the latter.
Zite knew almost nothing about his ability to be reborn and return to a certain point in time.
Is it possible to be reborn indefinitely? If not, then the next death will truly mean the end.
If I could be reborn, what would be the limitations? Would the exact time of the next rewind be the same as before?
With crucial information missing, making a phone call directly in the classroom carries a high risk of being discovered, so Qi Te dared not gamble.
With class about to start and the restroom empty, Qi Te rushed in, and the phone call connected.
"Senior, where are you?"
Yue Wanwan, on the other end of the phone, was clearly taken aback for a moment before replying, "I'm at the materials center, just about to head back to my dorm..."
"Don't go anywhere. Go to Material Room Number Three, find an empty material box and hide inside. I'll come find you right away."
Judging from the timing, Yue Wanwan was most likely abducted by armed men on her way back to her dormitory.
"Zite, what happened...?"
"The academy has been attacked by terrorists. Do as I say, or you'll die..."
Before the words "many people" could be finished, the signal was cut off.
The signal was first detected to be cut off at 15:09, but the phone now shows 15:08.
It's ahead of schedule?
Or was it discovered too late?
Qi Te rushed back to the classroom while pondering. Cao Yingchong, who was making a statement, instinctively wanted to say something sarcastic, but for some reason, he suddenly couldn't say it.
Qi Te quickly walked up to Cao Yingchong: "Class monitor, Professor Liu sent you a message."
Cao Yingchong looked at Qi Te's phone screen, somewhat confused, only to see a message displayed: "Terrorist attack, many people, including high-level superhumans. Quickly take your classmates to the experimental building for shelter. Don't go through the stairwell, be careful of Zheng Xinjian!"
The signal was cut off, making it impossible to contact the outside world; this was the only solution Zit could think of.
Even if he notified the students of the danger, on the one hand, no one believed him, and on the other hand, the armed men were heavily armed, so even if the students knew in advance, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Cao Yingchong looked astonished. Qi Te gave him a deep look, then turned and walked towards the door, just as he was about to bump into Ji Chenyu, who was rushing back to the classroom.
"Hey, where are you going? Class is about to start."
Ji Chenyu was being dragged along by his best friend, but he couldn't resist gossiping: "By the way, guess who I ran into at the bubble tea shop just now?"
"Senior Sister Wanwan"
Ji Chenyu was stunned: "Holy crap, how did you know?!"
"Hey, don't throw my delivery box away! It requires a deposit, and there's still milk tea inside..."
"Never mind that, let's go find her now!"
.........................
Inside the dean's office, Zhang Qingping looked bewildered as the student suddenly rushed in.
"Dean, fly out of the campus immediately and call the Bureau of Investigation. The academy has been attacked by terrorists. There are many armed men, and also people with superpowers. The leader is called... called..."
"Damn, what's it called again?"
Ji Chenyu frantically scratched his head and ran over at top speed, afraid that his IQ would drop and he would forget the important information that Qi Te had given him.
Zhang Qingping stared in astonishment, her mouth slightly agape. Very few people knew that her special ability was flight.
"Ah, I remember now, the leader's name is Nanshan, he's a three-star wanted criminal by the Federal Court!"
Ji Chenyu racked his brains and finally remembered. Seeing the dean still standing there in a daze, he hurriedly urged, "Dean, don't just stand there like an idiot! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late. We must call for help, otherwise many people in the academy will die!"
Having said that, Ji Chenyu didn't care about anything else and rushed out of the office anxiously.
Meanwhile, the armed men began sweeping through the building and taking a headcount, making the stairwells safer.
Using his special infrared vision, Qi Te was able to observe the movements through the walls and successfully leave the teaching building. He traversed a winding corridor, passed through a green garden, and arrived at the laboratory building where the materials center was located.
Armed men guarded the entrance. Knowing the building well, Zit quickly moved to the side. Fortunately, the window in the first-floor bathroom was unlocked. However, the building's foundation was raised, making the window a full 1.5 meters above the ground.
Qi Te jumped with all his might, grabbed the window, and strained upwards with all his might, but ultimately failed. He even cut his palm on the edge of the window frame.
The intense stress caused his adrenaline to surge, and Zite felt no pain at all.
Take off your coat, wrap it around your hand, and try again.
Finally, he climbed up.
However, what awaited him was the dark muzzle of a gun!
