(Outskirts of Heurn Province)
(Hidden Location- Secret Military Complex)
Am I dead?
Wu Jing opened his eyes blearily as he tried to adjust to the warm rays of sunlight beating down on his face.
He looked around and discovered that he was lying down on a hard mattress placed on a badly damaged bed.
This appeared to be some kind of… medical ward?
The white walls inside the room were badly damaged and the door that led to the outside hall had been torn apart from the hinges.
No… what was he doing here?
The monster?! Where was she?!
Wu Jing sat up in a hurry and assumed a defensive stance. He immediately stretched out his right hand and sparks of electricity danced around his fingertips.
The handsome soldier gripped his head in pain as memories from that terrible night flowed into his mind.
He remembered tracking down a mutated zombie for its crystal. He and his men had it surrounded in a dark alleyway.
They had the numbers and the superior firepower to kill it…. and then…
The memories of Eve's brutality sent a shiver of fear down Wu Jing's spine as he remembered the sadistic smile that spread across the monster's face as she killed all of his companions.
Then… then she… she was unaffected by his power…
Wu Jing felt as though his world was about to collapse.
The death of his men did not bother him as much as the fact that his ability was useless.
This lighting ability… it was a source of pride for the arrogant man, and he could not believe that the mutated zombie had shrugged off his attacks as if they were nothing.
As the mutated zombie raised up its claws and prepared to kill him… what had happened next?
Wu Jing furrowed his brows and tried his best to remember. He could recall feeling strange as if something was crawling all over his skin.
The last image in his mind was Eve's surprised expression and then there was nothing but darkness after.
"Oh? The sleeping beauty finally wakes up," a hoarse voice spoke with a quiver of excitement hidden in his tone.
Wu Jing immediately glanced in the direction of the sound and saw a young teenage boy walking over with a few bags of military ready food packets.
The boy was wearing a camouflage jacket that was a bit too big for his body and a pair of black track pants.
He was quite handsome with short, cropped hair and sharp angular cheekbones that would make him very popular with the ladies.
The mysterious teenager had extremely pale white skin and Wu Jing would have mistaken him for a zombie if it wasn't for his eyes.
They were both completely normal which meant that the teenager was a human.
"Here… why don't you have something to eat and then I can answer the questions that I am sure that you have…" Qin Wei explained patiently.
He gently placed the packets on the bed and then stepped away to give Wu Jing some space.
Qin Wei's actions were that of a perfect gentleman with elegance, class, and manners.
Qin Lan would barely be able to recognise her brother since his behaviour was so drastically different.
pαndα noνɐ1,сoМ What she would not have known was that her brother… he had long been turned into someone… or something else…
Wu Jing hesitated for a moment but the low growl that came from his stomach convinced him to give the food a try.
While he had no idea how long he had been lying down on the bed, it was clear that he did not appear to have suffered any obvious harm.
The exhausted soldier tore open the top of the packaging and took out the contents.
Wu Jing was so hungry that he did not even bother to use the heater and instead tore open a bag and began to eat cold beef ravioli.
Qin Wei watched him devour the food with a strange glint in his eyes. He stared at Wu Jing's long slender fingers that were covered in light scars.
This man… his ability was powerful.
It may be useless now in the early stages against Subject 014, but should it be allowed to blossom to its full potential…
Well… it could become the weapon that he needed to take down Eve.
"Where is this place? Who are you?" Wu Jing suddenly asked as he placed down the packets and coldly gazed at the young teenager.
"This is an abandoned military base, and my name is Qin Wei," the handsome teenage boy replied casually.
He snapped his fingers, and the air began to ripple behind him until it formed a blurry circular portal.
On the other side of the portal was the alleyway where Wu Jing's men had died, and he had nearly lost his life.
"My ability allows me to connect two places… I saw that you were in trouble, so I rescued you from that terrible monster," Qin Wei spoke gently as he snapped his fingers again.
The portal gradually collapsed, and Wu Jing could not help but take in a deep breath as he realised the full implications of this young boy's powerful gift.
Teleportation… it was the ultimate card to escape dangerous situations.
Wu Jing immediately began to think up ways to get Qin Wei to join his team.
He was so excited at the prospect of a powerful ability user joining forces with him that he failed to ask the most important question.
Why did Qin Wei stand by and do nothing as the rest of his men died?
"Thank you for rescuing me," Wu Jing gruffly spoke as he reached for the bottle of water placed at the end of the bed.
"Can you send me back to the alleyway? I need to inform the commander of this dangerous mutated zombie."
"Why do you want to go back?" Qin Wei asked politely as he slowly walked towards the soldier sitting up on the bed.
"Excuse me?" Wu Jing replied with some confusion on his face.
Qin Wei opened up his mouth and gave a lazy shrug before explaining the thoughts on his mind,
"Logically it is only a matter of time before your commander decides to use all of the remaining soldiers for himself… he has no reason to continue paying attention to the military rules."
"As for someone with such a powerful ability like yourself… don't you think that you may become a threat to his reign?"
"You've seen it already, haven't you? The subtle fear in his eyes as you show off your gift… the respect that the other soldiers hold for you…"
"Why return to be a dog… when you can be a king."
