Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 296 Two versus One
When Xu You, Song Xiaoxiao, and Yueyue arrived downstairs, Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe were already fighting with Zhou Huai'an.

Chen Ju is Xu You's biological mother, so Lin Zhe couldn't directly take action. But Jiang Qi didn't hold back. With a sweeping kick, he sent the woman who was trying to stop them flying. Her body flew about ten meters away like a rag doll before finally crashing to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Chen Ju felt as if all the bones in her body were shattered from the pain, and her mind was blank. She couldn't understand why the two teenagers only asked one question, "Are you Zhou Huai'an?", and then immediately attacked her husband when he nodded.

What are they trying to do?
After a while, Chen Ju's buzzing ears finally picked up sound again, only to hear Zhou Huai'an's scream.

Chen Ju suddenly turned her head and saw a purple electric net trapping Zhou Huai'an in the middle. Although there was a piece of metal that he had isolated, strangely, he had great difficulty controlling the metal piece. As a result, his hair was completely blackened by the electricity, his clothes on his upper body had turned into strips of cloth, and his skin on his chest was cracked, with blood flowing down in streaks.

He looked incredibly miserable.

That wasn't all. The metal block that had been blocking Zhou Huai'an's chest suddenly jumped up and slammed into him. With a thud, Zhou Huai'an was hit on the forehead, lost his footing, and staggered back two steps. After the metal block was moved aside, two streams of blood flowed from below his nose.

Even injured to this extent, he didn't fall, demonstrating his truly remarkable physical abilities. He even had the strength to regain control of the out-of-control iron block, and despite the purple lightning surrounding him, he hurled a knife at Lin Zhe and Jiang Qi respectively.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhou Huai'an's eyes. Those two little brats—it was only because he was momentarily careless that they gained the upper hand; otherwise…
boom!
boom!
With the clang of metal striking metal, two sharp knives and two thin black daggers clashed, the sparks drawing the onlookers' attention away from the purple electric grid.

The black dagger is much smaller than the dagger, which seems to be at a disadvantage at first glance, but those in the know understand that the control of superpowers depends on energy and the duration of the attack.

For example, although the black dagger is small, it can hold back the sharp knife, not only preventing it from advancing an inch, but also forcing it to sway in mid-air, about to fall to the ground.

The next second, the two sharp knives actually fell to the ground with a clatter. But then Zhou Huai'an suddenly reached out and grabbed forward. In the air that was originally empty, there was a ripple of water, and then a black dagger appeared in a ball of water.

The onlookers were in an uproar. Could these superpowers really be used like this?

Can a water sphere make a dagger invisible?

What kind of skill is that?

Listening to the chaotic discussions around him, Zhou Huai'an's face, already tanned from the electric shock, darkened even more. No one cared about him being beaten for no reason, and no one went to notify the school leaders or instructors. Everyone was only concerned about the two brats' superpowers.
He was so angry he almost vomited blood!

Is this still a military academy?

To beat someone up in broad daylight for no reason?
Is nobody doing anything about it?

Despite his anger, Zhou Huai'an dared not be careless at all, because he finally realized that the two young men in front of him not only harbored hostility towards him, but also murderous intent.

What's most infuriating is that their superpowers are in no way inferior to his.

puff!
Even though Zhou Huai'an managed to grab a dagger that was used in a sneak attack, he was still unable to defend himself properly, and another dagger pierced his shoulder from behind.

A sharp pain shot through him, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Stop! Stop it, Youyou! Xu You, aren't they your classmates? Quick, make them stop! We can't let them hurt your father!"

Chen Ju struggled to get up from the ground, shouting for Lin Zhe and Jiang Qi to stop. Just then, she saw Youyou walking out of the dormitory building and shouted even louder at her, her voice so sharp it almost cracked. Her urgent manner made it seem as if Zhou Huai'an would die if she hesitated for even a second.

It would have been better if she hadn't said the last sentence. As soon as she said something like "I can't hurt your father," not only did Xu You's expression change, but Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe also turned their heads to look at Chen Ju with a sinister look.

Xu Bo, as Jiang Minglang's vice-captain, is usually quiet and doesn't leave a deep impression. But that's because he's used to following Jiang Minglang around to handle some trivial matters and make some necessary arrangements. It doesn't mean that he's weak or lacks ability.

Ouyang, the base commander, once asked Jiang Minglang to borrow Xu Bo for half a year so that he could be his assistant and help him manage his guard team.

After the incident involving the captain of the management office's defense team, he took over for several months until a new captain took office and he then withdrew and returned to Yunxi Village.

It's easy to imagine how capable he is.

Aside from all that, he lived in the Bai family villa and watched Jiang Qilin and Lin Zhe grow up. Needless to say, the bond between them was like that of a parent to him.

So, Chen Ju, you made Uncle Xu's daughter call someone else "Dad" in front of them?

Do you think they're dead?

Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe simultaneously withdrew their superpowers, and then the two of them pounced on Zhou Huai'an, punching and kicking him.

No superpowers needed, just pure force!

The two were second only to speed-type ability users. Even though Zhou Huai'an reacted and used the iron block to block, he was still inevitably punched until he vomited. It wasn't until Zhou's family, who were instructors at the military academy, arrived with the school leaders that they were able to stop Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe.

But the two men still looked furious, as if they had an irreconcilable hatred for Zhou Huai'an.

It sent chills down the spines of the onlookers.

This also left the college director, who had rushed over, completely bewildered.

The teacher from the Zhou family ran to Zhou Huai'an's side, intending to help him up, but there was no good spot on his body, so he didn't know where to start.

He could only shout angrily at the few familiar students surrounding him, "Go and call the doctor! Go to the infirmary and call the doctor!"

After instructing the students, he turned to the academy director and said, "Director Xiao, I know they were invited by you and the commander to spar and learn from our students; they are guests. Even so, they can't be so lawless and hurt others so casually! Look at what they did to my cousin!"

Chen Ju rushed over and lay down next to Zhou Huai'an, sobbing.

Seeing her scraped arm and disheveled appearance, Instructor Zhou became even angrier. He pointed at Chen Ju and shouted angrily, "My cousin-in-law is an ordinary person. How can you lay a hand on an ordinary woman? What's the difference between you and an animal?"

"You're the beast, your whole family are beasts! How could someone like you, who judges others based on personal relationships without considering right or wrong, be qualified to be a teacher at a school? Just because of your assumptions and your shamelessness?"

Hearing this person call Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe beasts, Song Xiaoxiao immediately flew into a rage, jumping out to berate the instructor surnamed Zhou. As she caught her breath, Yueyue chimed in from behind, "Instructor, please look at where you are. This is our dormitory building. So how did you determine that we let this man and woman voluntarily come to our building and then beat them for no reason? Did we force them here so we could beat them?"

Director Xiao and the onlookers all looked at Instructor Zhou, Zhou Huai'an who was lying motionless, and Chen Ju who was still sobbing.

Yes, this is the first time the 'Miracle' team has come to Kyoto. They don't know anyone here, and the person hasn't even left the school; they've just been staying there. So why did the Zhou couple come looking for them? And what did they say that angered them and caused them to attack?

Because of Bao Shuyue's words, everyone had almost concluded that the cause of the dispute lay with the Zhou couple who were beaten, rather than with Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe for injuring people without cause.

Director Xiao glanced at Instructor Zhou with a complicated expression. That nonchalant look made him swallow back the words he wanted to say, his face turning red with embarrassment. Zhou Huai'an and his wife had entered the school through him, and had also inquired about Xu You through him, so he naturally knew what they wanted to do there.

He turned to look at the girl who hadn't spoken a word, his face cold and his eyes filled with hatred.

hatred?
Isn't she my cousin's biological daughter? Weren't they supposed to have been separated for many years and only recently met again?
Why does it not look quite like it?

Yes, if it were truly as my cousin-in-law said, that the mother and daughter had an extremely good relationship and had worried about each other for many years before finally meeting again, then they should have been embracing and crying together, not like this.
Just then, the doctor whom the students had sent to fetch was carried over by the two students with superhuman strength, their glasses perched askew from the jostling.

The two students dared not slack off. They were in Teacher Zhou's class, and the man lying on the ground, who looked quite seriously injured, was Teacher Zhou's cousin. It would be troublesome if he died and couldn't be saved.

After all, the Zhou family is quite famous in Kyoto, and the ones who attacked were the captain and vice-captain of the 'Miracle' team. They hadn't had enough of sparring with each other yet, and they didn't want them to cause trouble.

"Alright, everyone stop crowding around here. Go do what you're supposed to do. You two stay here and help Dr. Xu carry the person to the infirmary later."

Director Xiao chased away the students who were surrounding them, then glanced at Zhou Huai'an on the ground and assigned the two students who had been brought over by the doctor to stay behind.

Then, turning to Teacher Zhou, she asked, "Teacher Zhou, is there anything you want to explain to me?"

He didn't ask Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe why they hit people, but insisted on hearing what Instructor Zhou had to say first, because he knew that the two of them must have been brought in by Instructor Zhou. Since he brought people in, he must know what the couple wanted to do.

Given the circumstances, bringing people into the school means that, regardless of the reason, Zhou Huai'an deserved the beating he received today.

"I," Teacher Zhou opened his mouth and uttered a single word, then turned to look at Xu You and said, "My cousin said they came in to see my cousin's wife's biological daughter."

Biological daughter?

Director Xiao was taken aback. Who?
He followed Teacher Zhou's gaze and saw Xu You?

But isn't she Xu Bo's daughter?

As an active-duty soldier before the apocalypse, and Jiang Minglang's deputy captain, and since they belonged to the Kyoto Military Region Headquarters, almost everyone in the military with a bit of fame knew Xu Bo.

Before the 'Miracle' team arrived, they had also reviewed the files of all the team members, so they naturally knew everyone's background.

He was certain that Xu You was Xu Bo's biological daughter.

After the apocalypse, perhaps due to weather interference, network signals and other things could not be restored properly, so the previous files were naturally untraceable. They were not very familiar with Xu Bo, so they were unaware that he had been divorced.

However, this is not hard to guess.

Director Xiao only paused for two seconds before realizing this possibility.

Zhou Huai'an's wife is Xu Bo's ex-wife and Xu You's biological mother, so Zhou Huai'an and his wife came to the school to find Xu You.

Although Zhou Huai'an was seriously injured, he was not unconscious. However, Director Xiao did not intend to say anything to him and had the two students who stayed behind carry him to the infirmary.

Just as the person was lifted up, Zeng Tong and Zhu Shen, who had heard the news, rushed over.

Of course, the two of them hadn't just heard the news; they were hiding to the side and watching secretly, unlike Zhu Zhu who was openly watching with others.

It wasn't satisfying, but there was nothing I could do about it.

"director."

"Go to my office first."

Zeng Tong suddenly asked, "Should we notify Commander Zeng?"

Before Director Xiao could react, Instructor Zhou's face twitched. "Notify your dad? Why would I notify your dad?"

Are they going to back up Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe?
He felt incredibly frustrated, never expecting things to escalate to this point. It seemed his cousin's beating today was for nothing.

Not only did he suffer in vain, but he also got criticized as a result.

"Not for now, come to my office first."

Teacher Zhou and Chen Ju were kept behind by Director Xiao, who did not allow them to go to the infirmary to accompany Zhou Huai'an.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

“We don’t know what happened. The two of them started hitting us as soon as they saw us, without even exchanging a few words. But I just came to see my daughter and I don’t know them at all.”

Chen Ju finally stopped crying. As soon as Director Xiao finished speaking, she immediately accused Lin Zhe and Jiang Qi, "I'm just an ordinary person, but he kicked me and sent me flying. I'm lucky I didn't break any bones. I also want to know, why did you two hit us?"

Director Xiao and Instructor Zhou turned to look at Jiang Qi and Lin Zhe.

The two didn't answer Chen Ju's question. Lin Zhe countered, "Then tell me, what do you want with Xu You?"

Chen Ju replied matter-of-factly, "She's my daughter. Shouldn't I be able to find her? What else is there to do?"

"laugh!"

Lin Zhe chuckled, then turned to look at Xu You. Seeing her uneasy expression, he asked softly, "Are you feeling alright?"

Her tone was so gentle, it was as if she were speaking to a completely different person.

Yueyue and Song Xiaoxiao were not surprised, but Zeng Tong looked like she had seen a ghost. This guy, he actually had this side to him?
Xu You gently shook her head and whispered, "I've remembered some things. It's okay, just say what you want to say."

Although I felt sorry for Xu You and didn't want to reopen her wounds in front of her, Chen Ju was her biological mother, and if I didn't resolve the issue once and for all, she might have more trouble in the future.

So he took her hand and squeezed it gently, as if to tell her, "Don't be afraid, I'll be with you!"
"You say Xu You is your daughter now only because her current status, position, and abilities have surprised you. But when you abandoned her eleven years ago at the beginning of the apocalypse, did you treat her as your daughter?"

good night!
