Chen Yunxi stood rooted to the spot, as if struck by lightning.
It was simply… the news of her parents' death was too shocking.
How could this guy say such stimulating words in such a calm tone?
Shouldn't he have spoken in a more somber tone, with more refined words?
Her first reaction was, impossible!
"No, it can't be, you must be lying to me, right?" Chen Yunxi cried.
Lin Dong spread his hands: "Why would I lie to you? You'll know if you come back with me to take a look. Your parents' bodies are still lying at home. Don't worry, no one should have touched them!"
"Wuwuwu!!! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Chen Yunxi covered her face and sobbed.
Even though she was arrogant, willful, and vicious outside, she still had feelings for her parents, and this sudden news was truly difficult to digest.
Lin Dong turned his gaze to Qin Shuyao.
"Your big white dog is well-fed. What kind of feed did it eat to grow so big?"
After speaking, he slapped Feng Yi on the forehead: "Are you even human? You're abusing a dog. Be careful of being cyberbullied!"
Feng Yi: ???
Have you ever seen a dog that can bite off an Awakened's arm with one bite?
When Nuo Nuo was mentioned, Qin Shuyao's eyes turned red again.
"I don't know, Nuo Nuo wasn't this big before. Before, it was only as big as my two hands. Just now, they tried to hurt me, and Nuo Nuo suddenly grew bigger to save me!"
Oh?
It can grow bigger?
Lin Dong's eyes lit up.
"Then did your dog come into contact with Poison Snow before?"
Qin Shuyao was startled: "How did you know? Nuo Nuo burrowed into the snow before and then fainted for several days. I thought Nuo Nuo had died, but I didn't expect it to be alive and kicking again."
Lin Dong nodded, then that's right.
Indeed, besides humans, animals also have the possibility of awakening.
What about plants?
Just as Lin Dong was thinking about how to move Chen Yunxi and Qin Shuyao with emotion and reason, suddenly, a whooshing sound came from outside the building.
The others also heard the movement and couldn't help but look outside in confusion.
Looking out through the window, they saw a small black dot appearing in the sky.
As the small black dot got closer, everyone saw its appearance clearly.
It was a helicopter.
Qin Shuyao was overjoyed: "Great, it's a helicopter! Is it from the rescue team?"
Feng Yi immediately shivered.
Oh no, oh no. Now there's a guy who's more powerful than him nearby. If he's with the rescue team and takes him back, won't he go to jail?
No way!
I'm the student council president and a chosen one. In the second half of my life, I'm definitely going to be a big shot who controls the sun and moon and plucks stars. How can I stay in jail?
Zhao Yufei was even worse, trembling like a sieve.
She was afraid that the rescue team would hold her accountable for the murder.
She had just been admitted to graduate school. How could she go to jail for murder?
No, no!
Lin Dong grabbed Feng Yi by the back of his neck with one hand, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the helicopter.
Something's not right!
There are millions of people trapped in Jiangcheng, and there's only one helicopter in the sky. How could it possibly rescue everyone?
Moreover, the helicopter's target was very clear: this building.
So, either there's some important person in this building worth rescuing.
Or, it was attracted by Feng Yi's laser just now.
The helicopter hovered in the air, its cabin door open. A man in a suit, tall and slender, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood at the door, ignoring the extremely low temperature and the biting cold wind, curiously observing the RV below the building.
"This car is interesting~"
The man in the suit waved his hand, and behind him appeared four fully equipped armed personnel. They shot steel cables at the wall, skillfully slid down the cables, broke through the window, and entered the building.
As for himself, he let the biting cold wind blow his clothes, jumped down, spun a few times in the air, just cleared the window, and finally landed in a superhero-style pose (referencing Black Widow's landing pose).
Flashy!
Everyone's first impression was, this man is so flashy!
In Lin Dong's eyes, the flashy man in the suit had LV5 displayed above his head, and the other four armed individuals were all ordinary people.
Lin Dong saw that the others were all staring blankly, so he took the initiative to applaud.
"Good! The difficulty of this set of movements is at least 3.2. The body is powerful and strong when jumping, jumping with the momentum of a last stand, tumbling three and a half times with knees tucked in the air, and finally landing smoothly in the water... bah, landing.
Although there are no splashes, this set of movements is a great test for any athlete. I suppose this athlete's confidence must come from his diligent training.
I give you 10 points!!!"
Everyone: ......
He slapped Feng Yi on the forehead: "What are you staring at? It's your turn to score!"
Feng Yi: ???
The man in the suit slowly got up, pushed the glasses on his nose with his middle finger, and bowed slightly with one hand on his left chest.
"This gentleman overpraises me. I am a diving enthusiast, and I am very grateful to receive 10 points from you!"
Lin Dong waved his hand with a smile: "Oh, you're too polite. We're on the fourth floor now. You can still jump into the snow. How about a different move this time?
Like that... 250SB?"
The man in the suit: ......
"Cough, cough, let's not. I'm here for serious business this time. Let's focus on that first!
Let me introduce myself, my name is Huang Fei, and I'm from the Foundation!"
As he spoke, he looked around the surroundings, and when he saw Qin Shuyao's and Chen Yunxi's perfect looks, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"I suppose you haven't heard of our Foundation yet. Let me briefly explain.
Our Foundation is an international organization with vast funds and extensive connections, taking world peace as its mission!
After the Great Snow Apocalypse came, our Foundation discovered that the toxins in the snow have an extremely low probability of causing humans or animals to mutate and gain superpowers."
Among those present, only Zhao Yufei had not seen superpowers, and she couldn't help but carefully peek out her head.
"Our Foundation's research on superpowers is world-leading, and we also intend to recruit talented individuals, absorbing all Awakened talents to join our Foundation.
Just now, we observed a laser shooting into the sky here, which we assume is someone's superpower, so..."
Lin Dong slapped Feng Yi on the forehead again: "He's looking for you!"
Feng Yi shrank his neck. He was indeed interested in the Foundation.
"What does your Foundation want so many Awakened for?"
Huang Fei cleared his throat and smiled: "This matter, we'll discuss it after you join the Foundation. You just need to tell me if you're willing to join."
Feng Yi raised an eyebrow: "What are the benefits of joining?"
"If you join, there are many benefits!" Huang Fei showed great patience.
"Such as ample supplies, a comfortable living environment, and... a way to increase your power!"
Feng Yi asked: "What if I don't join?"
It's the apocalypse, who still wants to be managed by others?
A lawless life must be more interesting.
Huang Fei's smile gradually turned cold: "If you don't join, then you can only die."
After he finished speaking, the four armed personnel immediately turned their guns and pointed them at him.
