Chapter 155 – Visitor

He had finally figured out his Awakening ability completely!

After the excitement passed, Su Lifeng’s first thought was that he wanted to share his joy with someone.

Then he stood and walked to the door. But after gripping the doorknob, Su Lifeng suddenly froze.

Crap…

“Once I started researching an ability, I got absorbed. Tonight’s agreement… I forgot it!”

No matter from what perspective, this was Su Lifeng’s first date with a girl, and in the end he had actually forgotten!

Now Su Lifeng finally understood what Su Lian meant when she said he was doomed to stay single forever… The current situation was probably exactly that.

“It’s already one o’clock. She definitely didn’t wait, right?” Thinking this, Su Lifeng still opened the door and walked out.

On the stairway connecting the two floors, Su Lifeng saw Jiang Yushi’s figure.

When he saw her, Su Lifeng first stared blankly, then walked down.

Probably because she had waited too long, Jiang Yushi had already fallen asleep. She leaned against the railing, her long, beautiful hair pouring down and covering her lovely face.

Su Lifeng sat down beside her, then slowly reached out and gently brushed away her hair.

As if sensing something, Jiang Yushi’s long eyelashes trembled. Her pink lips moved, releasing a murmur of unclear meaning.

Su Lifeng’s movement immediately stopped. His fingers hovered in the air for a while, then lightly touched Jiang Yushi’s lips.

As expected… very soft.

“Sigh…” Su Lifeng took off his coat, draped it over Jiang Yushi, then quietly supported her and placed her head on his shoulder.

Although it was not very broad, it should still be much more comfortable than the railing.

Under the night, on the stairway, Su Lifeng sat there quietly, listening to the even, gentle breathing of the Girl beside him…

The entire city was deathly still, but at this moment, this breathing sound brought such peace.

And in the corner behind the stairway wall, Cheng Xiaomei was quietly watching the backs of Su Lifeng and Jiang Yushi leaning against each other.

After thinking for a moment, she still slowly retreated back into the room.

When she closed the door, she felt as if something had suddenly surged up in her heart. What was it?

…Early the next morning, Su Lifeng woke to knocking.

He opened his eyes and discovered that Jiang Yushi, who had been leaning against him, had disappeared at some unknown time, and his coat had returned to his own body. At the same time, a soft cushion had been placed beneath his head.

“Uh…” Su Lifeng stood up and stretched, then washed his face with cold water. The water plant was located inside the Quarantine Cordon, so the water supply had already stopped, but Su Lifeng had also stored quite a lot of drinking water. His own water usage was not large to begin with, while those girls possessed the miraculous ability to clean themselves up with very little water.

However, after walking around downstairs, Su Lifeng did not find Jiang Yushi or the others. He went upstairs. The moment he walked out of the room hiding the stairway, he saw a stranger sitting on the sofa in his home and looking around.

Jiang Yushi and the others sat opposite him. Cheng Xiaomei’s expression was rather nervous, while Su Lian looked curious and unconcerned. Jiang Yushi’s expression, however, seemed somewhat grave.

“Hi, we met yesterday.” The moment the stranger saw Su Lifeng, he grinned cheekily and said.

Hearing him say this, Su Lifeng was first at a loss, then immediately reacted.

“You’re the ones who were peeping from the opposite building yesterday.” Su Lifeng frowned and said.

He did not attack directly because he had already vaguely guessed the visitor’s identity. Otherwise, Jiang Yushi and the others would not have casually let someone in.

“Don’t use a word like peeping. Since we already greeted each other yesterday, today’s visit can’t count as presumptuous, right?” The stranger stood up, then walked over and extended a hand toward Su Lifeng. “I am Yu Zai, currently the captain of a special squad in the Ningnan Quarantine Zone. Of course, although it’s called a Special Squad, there actually aren’t many members. But that should be temporary…”

Yu Zai talked on his own for a while, while Su Lifeng only heard a few important words.

So he really was from the military…

“Su Lifeng.” Su Lifeng’s self-introduction was exceptionally brief.

The instant the two shook hands, Su Lifeng’s pupils contracted slightly. In the next moment, the bones of both their hands made a series of sounds.

However, after only two seconds, a crack suddenly sounded. Immediately afterward, Yu Zai’s arm went limp.

A layer of fine sweat emerged on Yu Zai’s forehead. Enduring the pain, he revealed a faint smile toward Su Lifeng, who had already released his hand. “So your strength is this powerful. It seems strength is your specialty. Thank you for holding back.”

Su Lifeng glanced at him and said with little courtesy, “You’ve observed me, and you’ve tested me. What exactly do you want?” If not for feeling that the matter might be related to Jiang Fusheng or Jiang Yushi, Su Lifeng would have used the Exoskeleton just now.

Then it truly would have become a grip of death.

This Yu Zai was also quite a reckless person. Although he tested Su Lifeng the moment they met, he had also exposed his own trump card.

Su Lifeng secretly estimated that Yu Zai was a Mutant, and also the captain of some Special Squad. Most likely, those he led were all Mutants as well. Since his strength was like this, those members might be slightly weaker.

“Perhaps because the military basically fights at range, there isn’t much for them to do, so their overall evolutionary level may not compare to these Mutants outside,” Su Lifeng thought.

Yu Zai seemed to choke a little on Su Lifeng’s bluntness, but then he held his hand and said, “Good, straightforward enough. When I first heard you were some kind of expert, I thought you might be the type who liked to brag and make things up. The reason I came this time is very simple.”

He glanced at Jiang Yushi and said, “Miss Jiang’s parents are both under military protection. You definitely know this…”

Jiang Yushi’s expression immediately changed. Yu Zai continued, “Miss Jiang, I know you’re holding a gun, and I can tell you’ve killed people. When it’s time to shoot, you won’t go soft, but I’m only stating a fact. You don’t need to get so worked up.”

Then he turned back to Su Lifeng, his smile becoming somewhat forced. “So Mr. Su, you don’t need to look at me with such murderous intent either…” Although he said this, the cold sweat on his forehead emerged even more fiercely. For some reason, being stared at by Su Lifeng’s eyes brought even more pressure than knowing Jiang Yushi was holding a gun.

This person had only gone from an ordinary person to a Mutant, right? Why were his eyes this frightening?

In truth, not only did Yu Zai not know, even Su Lifeng himself had not discovered it…

After completely Awakening his Precognitive Ability, especially after mastering time stop, his eyes had already become entirely different from those of an ordinary student…
