Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 27 - In the Plan

Han Jiaojiao’s eyes widened, “Superpowers… can actually be used like that…”

“Back then I was puzzled why Han Brother could always guess what I was thinking. Then during one test, suddenly I heard a loud voice saying, ‘Dummy! Choose A!’ I was scared to death, thinking what are you doing, Han Brother, yelling in the exam room like that! But hey, the invigilating teacher didn’t react at all, and only then I realized that it was Han Brother talking in his own head.”

As Yan Xiao recounted the past, his smile grew exceptionally warm, as if he was revisiting that carefree time of youth.

But Han Jiaojiao felt somewhat melancholic.

“So Brother was already able to communicate using brain waves in middle school… yet he never told me about it…”

Yan Xiao teased her, “He must have been afraid to scare you; you were like a little rabbit back then, extremely timid.”

His comment did hold some truth. Han Jiaojiao furrowed her brows in reminiscence; she must have been only eight or nine years old back then. Facing such a thing so abruptly likely would have left her in tears.

After understanding this, Han Jiaojiao’s mood brightened again, and she cheerfully entered the house.

Yan Xiao curled his lips, resting them casually on Xiao Jian’s shoulder, “Tsk tsk tsk… Look how well Han Brother has raised her; not only is she innocent and adorable, but also easy to cheer up—much better than those women who break cars or spend cash for a night’s diversions.”

Xiao Jian rolled his eyes in response, “Han Brother has nurtured you pretty well too.”

“……”

The five of them returned indoors, and Han Yi turned on the television.

The TV was broadcasting video captured by surveillance cameras of the alien species. Aside from the surveillance footage, there were also videos shot with cellphones. By this morning, such videos had already been widely circulated by various media, stirring up a storm online. Some people referred to it as “alien,” while others called it a “cannibal monster.” The official term, however, was “H2GI7 infected mutant.”

Han Yi paused the footage, his cool voice resonating in the quiet living room.

“The news has already provided a simple introduction to these monsters. Changyuan and Xiao Jian had also witnessed them once on the road, but I will have Jiaojiao give a more detailed explanation now. If you have any questions, you can ask them after she finishes explaining.”

Lu Changyuan, Yan Xiao, and Xiao Jian, all of them trusted Han Yi completely, so they raised no objections.

With a serious expression, Han Jiaojiao began to explain very conscientiously—

“We call these monsters ‘alien species.’ What you are seeing now is not their mature form; the virus is still growing inside them. Eventually, their height will reach between 2.2 to 2.6 meters, with long limbs that are agile and sensitive and very fast speed. Their skin is very tough and somewhat elastic, making it difficult for ordinary knives to cause fatal damage. The simplest way to kill them is by shooting their brain, heart, or neck—the three vital areas.”

As she spoke, Han Jiaojiao pointed to several parts on the body of the alien species shown on the TV screen.

“The back of the alien species’ head is very fragile, so they naturally have a hard shell covering their heads. This shell is harder than the skin on their torso, but there is a thin layer, about one centimeter thick, at the junction of the back of the head and the neck, which can be penetrated with a sharp weapon. In the absence of ammunition, you can target this spot, but be careful not to let the alien species’ blood contact your wounds. Brother and Yan Xiao are exceptions, as superpower users have certain immunity to the alien virus. Thus, for ordinary people, encountering an alien species, the best strategy is to shoot from a distance and avoid close combat as much as possible. Human skin is like tofu to the alien species, and although a scratch won’t infect you, the wound becomes very dangerous if it contacts the alien’s blood.”

Having said this, Han Jiaojiao stopped and looked toward Han Yi.

Han Yi sat quietly on the couch, like a king, and after a moment of silence, he slowly began to speak.

“Alien species will increase in number as time goes on, many cities will fall, and Qingjiang City will be no different. We need to hold out here until the construction of the safe base is complete, around two months from now.”

He glanced at the three people in front of him, “If you have other concerns, you may leave now.”

Lu Changyuan raised an eyebrow, seemingly taking pleasure in the misfortune, “I’m all alone, so it really doesn’t matter to me, but have you completely cut ties with the old Han Family estate?”

Han Yi glanced at him and said indifferently, “I am a member of the Han Family and naturally wouldn’t be the type to deny my relations. However, what they think doesn’t concern me anymore.”

Lu Changyuan’s lips curled into a grim smile, but he said nothing.

By his side, Xiao Jian lifted his head, “I’m just like Brother Lu, a loner with no attachments. Count me in, Brother Han.”

Finally, they all turned to look at Yan Xiao.

A self-deprecating bitter smile appeared on Yan Xiao’s face, “Why are you looking at me? Old Man Yan won’t even acknowledge me, I’m certainly not eager to warm up to him.”

Han Jiaojiao’s heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

How wonderful, all these people were here. Whether it was Lu Changyuan and Yan Xiao, who had appeared in her memories, or Xiao Jian, who hadn’t, they were all by her brother’s side, and she was there too.

Han Yi slightly curved his lips, “Then, please keep absolutely confidential everything you hear next.”
