Chapter 519: Chapter 517: The Rare Superpower User’s Call for Help

"If it weren’t very dangerous, I believe they wouldn’t easily reveal that they have a superpower user of such high level in their team," Su Mo sat down and poured herself a cup of water.

Lu Chen also agreed, saying, "You’re right, where are they trapped? What’s the specific situation?"

"They said it’s a place called Vichi Town, located at the edge of the desert, with a harsh environment and strong sandstorms."

Rong Bai took out a piece of paper that he had hastily jotted down the address on, checked it against the map, and found it was indeed very remote, even farther from P-city than Yellowstone City.

Lu Chen looked at it and immediately shook his head in refusal, "Too far, with so many unstable factors along the way, who knows?"

Jianxiong also said, "Aren’t my sister’s Biluochun Tea and Zijuan Tea quite useful? Why go such a great distance to save someone, and what if it’s a trap?"

His latter point made some sense, but Su Mo put down her cup, her brows and eyes serious, "The two are not the same. That Level 5 superpower user, he’s even higher than Lin Yao, incomparable in healing, right?"

She was asking Rong Bai, believing that if it weren’t something special enough, he wouldn’t be so eager to run over and save someone.

Indeed, Rong Bai joined the conversation, "Exactly, the Healing Superpower User they talked about, even if his neck is almost bitten through by zombies, he can still be saved, and his superpower can instantly eradicate the virus without cutting off body tissue, and with great speed! Lin Yao is not on the same level as him; this will be a huge asset for us in future battles!"

As he spoke, the people present were somewhat moved, including Su Mo. She could use the Tang Blade to eliminate some of the virus, but definitely couldn’t save the limbs, which made the Healing Superpower User so valuable.

If they could save him to serve in the refugee camp, they could avoid a lot of trouble and reduce losses among the superpower users.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen asked, "Did you agree to them?"

"I said I’d give them an answer tomorrow because I haven’t figured out what kind of species they’re calling dangerous yet," Rong Bai looked somewhat perplexed, pulling a pen out of his chest pocket and sketching on the paper, "According to their description, there’s a spineless predator lurking underneath the town that can penetrate through the desert rocks deep underground, and that thing can track the location of food by sensing ground vibrations."

"Is that why they’re trapped?" Su Mo glanced at the paper, which depicted the creature as an abstract cylinder.

Lu Chen: "A worm?"

"I don’t know what it is, but those few people said, something in the nearby lab, some sort of primordial specimen was infected with a virus and then mutated; I don’t have the specifics, we’ll have to get there to know," Rong Bai scratched his head, clearly troubled.

"I think, Chenchen, you guys should make a trip," Jiang Yulian dandled the child on her leg and spoke earnestly: "Although I don’t want you to get hurt, given that there’s only one Healing Superpower User at present, if we manage to save him, we could mitigate a lot of losses. Plus, from what I’ve heard about the Beast Tide, if there’s a war in the future, he will be a pivotal figure."

After all, Jiang Yulian had been with Jiang Hai for many years; though her physique was weak, she still possessed some long-term vision.

Su Mo also felt that they should make the trip. The grudge between her and Lin Yao was firmly established, and if someone in the team were bitten in the future, having a Healing Superpower User would be a glimmer of hope.

After pondering for quite a while, Lu Chen replied, "You go back first and find out their current physical condition and exact location. Also, we can’t go on foot; we must find a helicopter."

Rong Bai nodded, stood up, "Then you all rest well tonight, I’ll go back and ask if the people below have any good ideas."

After sending Rong Bai away, Su Mo yawned and said to the person still deep in thought, "It’s getting late, rest early, tomorrow we still have to check on Zhao Changsheng."

Everyone dispersed.

The next day, Su Mo propped herself up from the bed with a hand on her waist, noticing Lu Chen still by her side, which was rare. She stretched lazily, watching his delicate yet stern face, and asked with curiosity, "You don’t have anything to do today?"

"I’m here to accompany you. The situation with that hotel has been confirmed, and they’re going to post tasks today. Do you want to join in the fun?" He propped up his upper body with one arm, nestling his head in the nape of her neck.

The cool breath he blew made her feel a bit ticklish.

"Sure, it’s not often I get to sleep in. It’s a good time to go out for a stroll after eating, but first, I need to deliver some ingredients to the restaurant, and while I’m there, check on Zhao Changsheng’s condition," Su Mo said while playfully messing up his hair with her fingers.

The house they were occupying now still belonged to Zhao Changsheng, though it had been switched over after they left.

After getting ready, Su Mo made some lunch to eat with Jiang Yulian and inquired about Jianxiong, only to learn he had gone to guard the door of the restaurant bright and early.

For a moment, Su Mo wasn’t clear whether he was more concerned about Zhao Changsheng’s condition or eager to snag the pastry chef’s breakfast.

In the restaurant, with noon approaching, it was packed with customers. The mutton shop diagonally across was dismantling its signboard today; it was rumored to be changing owners.

"Madam. there are a few customers’ orders that they will come to pick up today. Plus, there are the soldiers’ orders that you still owe," Bai Shitong whispered as he came over.

Su Mo nodded, "Got it, I’ll go hand them over in a bit."

Su Mo was now regularly providing Rong Bai’s people and those like Feng Yao and the other Level 5 fighters with tea. Sometimes, she would also send a few dishes their way to try. However, most of the time, they would choose to come and wait for her to make a meal one hour before setting out on a mission.

This secret had become an open secret among the high-level fighters.

Everyone feared that leaks would result in the loss of their right of first refusal, so, up till now, not a whisper about the secrets of the business of tea and gourmet food had made it out.

Her Crystal Stone stash was also growing larger, and her purse was getting fuller. Bai Shitong was just about to go back to work when she stopped him, "After you’re done, have the chef make some desserts and send them to where Ling Ye is training, just across from your building. From now on, deliver once every day after work. Whatever is left over, you guys can take back and share."

"Alright!"

Su Mo went to the kitchen to drop off the delivery and then up to check on Zhao Changsheng. Jianxiong and Li Qian were both in the room.

The two seemed to have discussed something; Jianxiong appeared quite open-minded. Seeing Su Mo, he chuckled, "Little sister, don’t worry, this lady here is looking rosy and healthy."

"Mhm," Su Mo could see the sadness and resignation in his eyes, it seemed this time he was truly ready to let go.

"Do you want to come with me and Lu Chen to the task hall to have a look?"

"No, I’ll go down and keep an eye on the door. I can snag some desserts after I finish," Jianxiong said, licking his lips with a look of hunger.
