Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 78 - Ability Too Strong

Han Jiaojiao probably realized her own overreaction and felt awkward. She simply lowered her head and hugged Han Yi’s arm, her voice muffled, “… Even if it’s just a comparison, it’s not okay. I won’t let my brother go.”

For a while, no one spoke, and the scene was excessively quiet. Han Jiaojiao felt very embarrassed and suddenly stood up!

“I’m going back to my room to pack,” she said, and then she turned and ran upstairs.

Lu Changyuan watched her disappearing back at the staircase entrance thoughtfully, and exhaled a round smoke ring.

“It seems she has also dreamed a lot about the things inside the base.”

Han Yi’s face was stern, and he didn’t speak.

The expression on Yan Xiao’s face was somewhat confused as she asked, “If it’s a prophetic dream, why doesn’t she tell us?”

Lu Changyuan smiled, “Alien Species, Abilities, Crystal Cores, she’s already told us what she needed to. The parts she’s not saying, probably aren’t any good news.”

Although Xiao Jian was usually silent and reserved, he wasn’t slow-witted. He glanced at everyone and said, “I think Jiaojiao must have dreamed about the Ability Team. Judging by her tone, she seems very aware of the types of missions the Ability Team usually carries out for the base. I guess, in her dreams, Brother Han encountered danger while on a mission, which is why she lost control just now.”

“That’s impossible!” Yan Xiao was the first to object, her eyes widening as she said, “Brother Han is so powerful, how could anything happen to him? Just because of those black, stinky, and disgusting creatures?”

Han Yi silently sighed and said, “The Alien Species will become stronger. And… in her dreams, the apocalyptic world, half a year later, which is about four months from now, the climate will undergo drastic changes.”

All eyes were fixed on Han Yi in a daze.

“The greenhouse effect will end, and the Ice Age will come.”

Yan Xiao was at a loss for words.

Sitting beside him, Bai Kairui couldn’t help but shiver and said, “Doesn’t that mean… the duration of sunshine will also shorten? If it’s cloudy or overcast, then… then the Alien Species could move around freely 24 hours a day?!”

Lu Changyuan snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and smiled helplessly, “No wonder you asked me to prepare so many solar heat collection panels. At that time, I was wondering why we would need them in such hot weather, heh…”

Han Yi sighed softly and said, “Let’s not mention the matter about dreams in front of her from now on.” He didn’t want to make her unhappy.

No one spoke, only Lu Changyuan looked deeply at him, showing a rare solemnity as he spoke with deep meaning, “We won’t mention it again, but you need to have a plan in your heart. The girl is holding back a lot of troubles, and if it goes on for too long… it’s not good for you or for her.”

“Hmm.” Han Yi nodded slightly. As a friend for many years, Changyuan would not harm him.

Sounds of a car engine came from afar, growing closer and closer. At last, it inevitably stopped outside their small building’s courtyard. Two staff members got out of the car and called out from outside, “Is Han Yi living here?”

Yan Xiao stood by the window, unable to stop sighing, “How many years has it been since I’ve heard Brother Han being called by his full name?…”

Xiao Jian glanced at him and got up to open the courtyard gate for the two men.

Standing outside were two young men, one of them holding an instrument in his arms. Both of them seemed amiable and shook hands politely with Xiao Jian as they explained, “Sorry to disturb you. We’re staff from the base research institute. There might have been some issues with the instruments at the registration today, so we’ve come to perform another check.”

Xiao Jian nodded and walked in, “Come in.”

The two followed Xiao Jian into the parlor and were instantly stunned. The reason was simple; the people here looked unusually elite. Although not every one of them was lofty and upright, they were not far off, with high attractiveness, dressed in not-so-common clothes, not to mention the matching set of white oak dining tables and armchairs in the parlor…

“May I ask… which one of you is Mr. Han?” the staff members surveyed the group.

Han Yi raised an eyebrow at them, “How will you check?”

The staff member holding the instrument carefully placed it on the table, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, “This is a laboratory instrument, a bit more precise than what’s at the registration. You just need to place your hand on this sensor area.”

Hearing this, Han Yi stood and placed his hand on it. The other staff member operated for a moment, and the liquid crystal display showed a full screen of zeros.

“…”

Yan Xiao laughed, poking fun, “Is this thing of yours even working?”

The two staff members looked at each other, somewhat dumbfounded, and after a while, one of them managed a strained smile and said, “It could be… it could be that Mr. Han’s Ability power has exceeded the maximum value of our instrument, which is why this error occurred… We’re really sorry, this is a fault in our work, and we will go back and improve the detection instrument.”

Han Yi withdrew his hand and sat back down. After being tested three times in such a short span today, his patience was waning.

“We also thank you all for your cooperation with our base’s work today. Thank you… we will take our leave now.”

“Take care, take care,” Yan Xiao cheerfully stood up to see them off.

Xiao Jian watched Yan Xiao escort them out of the courtyard with an expressionless face and tugged the corner of his mouth, “Troublesome. They won’t come again, will they?”

Lu Changyuan said from the side, “They won’t in the short term. Improving instruments isn’t that easy, and the cost is not minor. Moreover, they only need to know that Ayi’s Ability is very strong, that’s enough.”
