Quick Transmigration: Playing the Role of a Devoted Tool

Ye Xingye apologized to Li Jia for what he said yesterday and hoped that he wouldn't mind.

"It's alright, Hoshino. I know it was due to the circumstances. I don't blame you." Li Jia smiled calmly, not taking it to heart.

Even so, I still mind to some extent.

However, Li Jia would not say it aloud.

Ye Xingye possesses spatial abilities, which are extremely important in the apocalypse. He needs Ye Xingye, just as Ye Xingye needs his abilities for protection.

They are now equal.

The two reconciled and Qi Ran cooked a big meal that evening to celebrate Li Jia's recovery from his serious illness.

The next morning, they drove away from the village and headed north to the base along the country road.

When encountering zombies on the road, Li Jia's superpowers can easily handle them.

They didn't even need to get out of the car; Li Jia could manipulate the soil to bury the zombies or clear the road surface to make it easier for cars to pass.

About fifty kilometers from the northern base, they encountered a group of survivors surrounded by zombies.

Ye Xingye parked the car in a corner, secretly observed for a while, and discovered that they were also superhumans. He exchanged a glance with Li Jia and chose to help.

"Qi Ran, stay in the car and don't go out," Ye Xingye instructed.

"Okay." Qi Ran nodded, and after they got out of the car, he hid inside with a knife.

Although Ye Xingye doesn't have combat abilities, he has studied Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and is very good at dealing with zombies. With Li Jia's cover, they quickly rescued the group from the besieged building.

But there were too many zombies to kill them all. After Li Jia helped them get into the car, he and Ye Xingye returned to their own car and followed the car in front.

"There were three of them, the rest are dead," Ye Xingye said, accelerating to catch up. "They didn't look like ordinary people. That woman had a gun; she must be from the base."

"Will they take us to the base?" Li Jia asked uncertainly.

"We are also superhumans, so we should be able to," Ye Xingye said, only then realizing that Qi Ran was not.

What will happen to Qi Ran if the base only accepts people with superpowers?

But they haven't encountered this problem yet; they'll deal with it when they do.

As night fell, the car in front stopped in front of a farm, and Ye Xingye also parked his car next to it.

They got out of the car, and three people got out of the car opposite them.

Two men and one woman.

After a brief introduction, the three men were very grateful for their rescue and offered to take them to the base. Moreover, the three men's identities were not simple.

Of the two men, one is named Liao Chen, who is 27 years old. His superpower is water elementalism, and he can control ice. He is also quite powerful.

The other one is named Tsukasa Kinji, 24 years old. His superpower is enhancement. His body can instantly turn into metal, making him invulnerable to blades and bullets. After enhancement, his strength will increase, and he can lift a truck with his bare hands.

The woman the two men were protecting was named Fang Yunyao, 29 years old, a virologist. In order to get Fang Yunyao's help, the base arranged for 20 superhumans to escort her to the northern base.

They set off from country M, traveling over a thousand kilometers, suffering heavy casualties along the way, until only two remained.

Inside the room, Qi Ran quietly tidied up her sleeping area. Listening to their conversation, she realized that Fang Yunyao and the others had encountered the Zombie King, which was why so many people had perished.

Clearly, Ye Xingye also sensed that something was wrong.

"We encountered quite a few zombies when we left Spring City, but not enough to kill even superhumans. How come so many of your superhumans died?"

"It's not an ordinary zombie," Liao Chen said seriously. "We've only encountered it once. That thing is very strong. It can not only control other zombies, but also has their minds. We were too careless and were ambushed by that monster."

Tsukasa Jincheng added, "It's good that you didn't encounter it. That thing seemed to be able to understand what we were saying. It wasn't an ordinary zombie. It's possible that they are also evolving."

Seeing that Fang Yunyao seemed very tired, Qi Ran handed her a bottle of water, "Have some."

"Ah, thank you." Fang Yunyao snapped out of her daze, took the water from Qi Ran, and smiled slightly at him.

"You're also a superhuman? What kind of superpower do you have?"

"I'm not, only Hoshino and Li Jia are." Qi Ran shook her head and went to busy herself, not continuing to talk to them.

They found a lot of supplies along the way, and Qi Ran sorted and organized them, bustling around the house like a busy little bee.

He was a man of few words, good-looking, and very likable.

Zhong Jincheng and Liao Chen had been watching him for a long time, but they didn't know how to bring it up.

While Qi Ran was cooking, Liao Chen asked Li Jia, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

Li Jia paused in her drinking, almost choking: "Qi Ran has a boyfriend, the one right next to me."

Upon hearing this, Liao Chen smiled sheepishly, feeling rather disappointed.

It turns out she's already taken, what a pity.

It's rare to meet someone so good-looking in this apocalyptic world. He even thought that if this person didn't have a girlfriend, he might be able to win him over and offer some help after they went to the base, hoping to win a smile from the beauty.

Good things always seem to have an owner.

Ye Xingye didn't like Liao Chen's probing into Qi Ran's affairs, but she wouldn't turn against him just because he glanced at her boyfriend a few more times.

"Can you tell us about the base, Brother Liao?" Ye Xingye asked, his attitude natural and showing no signs of anger.

Liao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Ye Xingye didn't hold his earlier rudeness against him.

"The Northern Base was built by the military and is very large. After the apocalypse broke out, many powerful and wealthy people had already moved in. It's just that we ordinary people had no idea. We only realized something was wrong when the virus spread."

Liao Chen angrily crushed the beer can and threw it at his feet.

"Later, more and more people came to the base seeking refuge, and the superhumans also awakened. The military classified the superhumans as superior people, that is, level A, while scientists, virologists and other professionals who could contribute to the base were level B."

"Then what about ordinary people?" Li Jia asked curiously.

"Ordinary people are at level C, the lowest level of laborers. They need to do a lot of work to earn points in order to survive, and they are also the largest population in the base," Liao Chen explained.

"Actually, what Liao Chen said wasn't comprehensive." After Liao Chen finished speaking, Zhong Jincheng added more detailed information, "Besides that, there's an even lower level, the D level."

"What is Level D?" Ye Xingye asked.

"D-level refers to slaves and sex workers. The base does not restrict these. If someone's points become negative, or if they cause trouble and are arrested, they will be classified as a D-level person by the administrators. The good-looking ones will be sent to sell themselves, and the others will all become slaves."

"Slaves can be killed and bought and sold at will. Once you become a D-level person, you lose all human rights and freedom. So not many people in the base dare to cause trouble, since the consequences of causing trouble are very serious."

Zhong Jincheng's explanation was far more terrifying than Liao Chen's.

Ye Xingye and Li Jia both frowned at this.

The way this base is managed is completely detached from the foundations of civilized society.

Qi Ran brought in the food and invited everyone to eat.

The group sat around the round table and began to eat; the cooked food tasted absolutely delicious.

Liao Chen hadn't had a hot meal in a long time. After taking a sip of soup, he was almost moved to tears.

"Qi Ran, your cooking skills are really good. Maybe you could be a chef at the base!"

Qi Ran smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

"The cooking is really good, it's delicious." Zhong Jincheng chimed in, "We've run out of bread, let alone meals, along the way. It's good that we have spatial abilities, at least we don't go hungry."
