All Novel Full Chapter 51 - Sudden Change
Chapter 51: Sudden Change
The soldiers looked at each other in dismay as the man stood up. They had never encountered such circumstances before, so they had no idea what to do.
However, it was an emergency and they could only face it head-on!
Looking at his bloody right hand, the man let out a bitter laugh.
He muttered, “I told you, there will be consequences. Why didn’t you just listen? I did what I had to.”
Then, he raised his head and looked at the group of soldiers.
“Scared? But I haven’t had enough fun yet. What should I do next?”
He smiled as he gripped the kitchen knife in his hand and rushed towards a soldier.
“Bang!”
A gunshot was heard.
The man fell to the ground. His smile faded.
“…”
Everyone looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. They had never encountered such a situation before.
Not long after, Fang Lin arrived at the scene.
He immediately understood what had happened and fell into silence. After a long pause, he said helplessly, “Make an announcement. Tell everyone to calm down. If anyone starts a riot, kill them.”
“Yes!”
The man’s body was carried away.
Fang Lin looked at Lin Nan with a distressed expression.
“I wish I had a unique ability. Perhaps it needs to be awakened?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s a good thing that we don’t have it. What if the cons outweigh the pros?”
Fang Lin shrugged.
“From the looks of it, there are only benefits and no drawbacks. I wonder how the power develops.”
“It must have originated from humans,” said Lin Nan without any hesitation.
He picked up a piece of paper and began writing on it.
[ I’ve done the calculations. Currently, there are only enough resources for one more meal. We will temporarily allow everyone to go out and scavenge for food. ]
“Are we disbanding?” Fang Lin asked with a puzzled expression.
“We don’t have enough resources for the time being. Everyone can come back once we’ve gathered more supplies. If people wanted to stay in the base and wait, that’s fine too. It’s all up to them.”
Li Nan then handed the paper to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin sighed, “If you ask me, we should just go to another district and merge with other safety bases. According to the information we received, excluding us, there are five safety bases in Shanghai. They were all constructed by the government.”
“Their management is not good enough. Moreover, all of our projects are located here. Leaving rashly won’t be a wise decision.”
Lin Nan rejected Fang Lin’s suggestion almost instantly.
Fang Lin tried to persuade again, “Those projects of yours were assigned by the government. Now that the country is finished, you won’t be able to complete them. You can delay them for now. There’s nothing to lose.”
“I can’t simply give up on the projects.”
Lin Nan frowned and appeared very reluctant.
He had always believed that everything could be explained by science. If not, then something must have gone wrong.
Even Fang Lin could not change his mind in this matter.
“Okay, I’ll make the announcement first.”
“Oh right, add another one. Tell them that if there is something wrong with their bodies, no matter what it is, they can report it to us. The military will give them treatment.”
“Tsk, now that I think about it, I feel so ignorant. Even your wife, who doesn’t know anything, can accept such a ridiculous concept of having superpowers. But, I still can’t. Why is that?”
“It’s simple. Because you don’t want to. Unfortunately, you don’t have a choice.”
“Tell me, do you think she has a special ability? She doesn’t seem scared or surprised at what Fang Qiu said.”
Fang Lin fell into deep thoughts as he looked at Lin Nan. Then he sneered, “You don’t know, do you? The relationship between the two of you needs to be deepened, wouldn’t you agree?”
