You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

……

Hope Community.

With a few leaps, Wu Bai climbed through the window and returned to his bedroom.

He sat on the edge of the bed, took out his old keypad phone from his pocket, and stared blankly at the black screen.

He wanted to rush to the hospital right now, but reason held his legs back.

It's already nine o'clock; I can't just run over there without a reason, otherwise, if I get asked about it...

"I haven't even called, how did you know something happened to my mother?"

...He simply couldn't explain it.

……

In another room.

A golden light flashed, and Wu Minmin's figure appeared on the bed.

This time she didn't chase after Hyper Jetton because Zhenzhen might call her brother.

If my brother calls me and I'm not in my room, that would be troublesome.

Wu Minmin lay on the bed, her hands behind her head, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I made a mistake, but it seems I didn't. This event itself is part of history; I just didn't interfere.

By achieving his two objectives through what was supposed to happen, this was indeed the most correct choice at present.

Most importantly, this was to win Zhenzhen's heart, the only man who could enter her heart when she was at her most desperate.

Only then can she become the high and mighty Sequence 003 in the future.

She would not abandon her brother because of the difference in their social status.

……

Ten minutes later, the dead silence in the room was shattered by the shrill ring of the telephone.

Wu Bai answered almost instantly.

Through the receiver came Su Nianzhen's broken sobs, intermittently: "Don't be afraid, I'm coming right away."

Wu Bai hung up the phone, opened the door, and called out to Wu Minmin.

The two sped all the way to the hospital, where they found that Zhan Esi and the police had already cordoned off the area.

The two squeezed through the crowd.

On the floor in the corner of the hall, Su Nianzhen squatted there like an abandoned child.

She clutched a hospital gown tightly in her hand; the gown was soaked in blood and had turned dark red.

She buried her head in her knees, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Wu Bai stood a few meters away, looking at that figure, his feet seemingly rooted to the spot, unable to take a step.

He only came to his senses after being nudged by his sister.

"Brother, Zhenzhen needs you now. She has no family left. Can you bear to see her squatting there all alone and miserable?"

Wu Bai glanced at his sister, then at the helpless figure. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and walked over.

Wu Minmin smiled slightly as she watched her brother's retreating figure.

In my past life, my brother wasn't this proactive.

Even if you don't go in this life, I'll push you to go.

He walked up to Su Nianzhen.

Wu Bai slowly squatted down, without saying a word, opened his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.

Feeling the familiar body temperature, Su Nianzhen's suppressed sobs burst forth instantly.

She clung tightly to Wu Bai's clothes, wailing and crying her heart out. She cried for an unknown amount of time until her voice became hoarse.

With trembling hands, Su Nianzhen unfolded the blood-stained garment, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at the bloodstains on it.

"Wu Bai... I want to become an Awakener. I want to find that calamity, I want to kill it, and avenge my mother."

Wu Bai was silent for a moment, then rested his chin on the top of her head: "Okay, let's find it together, find it, and kill it."

Standing not far away, Wu Minmin watched this scene with a slight smile on her lips.

The time is right.

Once this period is over, we'll arrange an awakening potion for Sister Zhenzhen.

……

Six o'clock in the morning.

As dawn broke, a chilly mist hung over the streets.

Wu Bai and Wu Minmin took Su Nianzhen back to the neighborhood.

Su Nianzhen was holding a black urn tightly in her arms.

There is no such thing as "burial for peace" now. Basically, as soon as a person dies, they are cremated and then taken home.

After all, land in the base city is extremely valuable; where would one find a place to bury someone?

At first, Su Nianzhen wanted to go back to her own home, but Wu Bai and Wu Minmin strongly refused.

Given her mental state, the siblings were simply not comfortable leaving her alone.

Upon entering the room, Su Nianzhen placed the urn on the table, then slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly ahead, motionless.

Half an hour passed, and she didn't change her posture at all.

Wu Bai sighed, walked over and took her wrist: "Don't stay here, come with me."

He pulled Su Nianzhen, who was like a puppet, up to the rooftop.

The wind was a bit strong on the rooftop, dispelling some of the oppressive atmosphere. Wu Bai found a clean cement step, pulled her to sit down, and faced east.

The sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, and a sliver of golden light struggled to pierce through the clouds.

Wu Bai naturally reached out and pulled Su Nianzhen into his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder.

Feeling the broad shoulders, Su Nian's hollow eyes finally regained some focus.

She looked at the sun slowly rising in the distance, reached out her cold hand, and grasped Wu Bai's hand.

Wu Bai's body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't pull away; instead, he gripped her hand tightly.

The two of them nestled together, watching the sun rise slowly, illuminating the city above the wasteland.

……

Hope Base City, west city wall.

Beneath the towering city walls, a vast passage stretched into the thick fog.

This is the only passage connecting the main city of Great Xia; all base cities, large and small, have this passage.

If you want to travel from one base city to another, you must transit through the main city.

A team of fully armed soldiers is patrolling the entrance to the passage.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from deep within the fog, and an extremely eye-catching pink sports car broke through the fog and slowly stopped in front of the checkpoint.

A soldier stepped forward and saluted.

The car window rolled down, revealing a woman wearing sunglasses sitting in the driver's seat.

The soldier's eyes changed instantly, his pupils transforming into a slowly rotating wheel pattern.

【Sequence 63: The Eye of Judgment】

His gaze swept over the woman's entire body, and after confirming that she was human, he picked up the scanner from his waist and waved it at the woman's face.

"Beep..." The other party's identity information was displayed on the screen.

The soldier saw the words clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, he stood at attention with his legs together, and gave a military salute.

He then turned and waved to the control room to signal for passage, and the heavy alloy gate opened with a rumble.

The woman stepped on the gas, and the pink sports car sped into the base city. Even after the taillights disappeared, the soldier still hadn't looked away.

His teammate leaned over and nudged him with his elbow: "Are you stunned? He's definitely a rare find, but he's not someone we can even dream of."

The soldier quickly covered his teammate's mouth, whispering, "You want to die? Do you know who that is?"

"Who?"

"Ye Lan, captain of the Phoenix Squad, the fourth special squad of the Great Xia Dynasty." The soldier swallowed hard. "Sequence 006, God of True Sight, sixth-order Awakener."

"Holy crap...why would such an important person come all the way to our little town by themselves?"

"Who knows? Let's get on patrol."

……

After watching the sunrise, Su Nianzhen calmed down a bit and was taken back to her room to rest by Wu Bai.

Downstairs, the pink sports car was parked at the entrance of the building.

Ye Lan got out of the car, glanced up at the window on the third floor, and walked into the building in her high heels.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Wu Minmin ran over and opened the door.

Seeing Ye Lan outside the door, she was overjoyed and turned to call out into the house:

"Brother, I'm going out for a bit. My friend and I are going to buy some materials for the school's welcome party."

Wu Bai peeked out and saw a tall, beautiful woman standing at the door.

Although she looked unfamiliar, he didn't think much of it since she was a woman and not a man.

"Okay, come back soon."

"Okay."

Wu Minmin closed the door, followed Ye Lan downstairs, and got into the pink sports car.

The sports car roared and sped away.

……

The entrance to the passageway on the west side of the city wall.

The soldier with the [Eye of Judgment] was just about to change shifts.

Suddenly, the familiar roar of an engine came from the mist once again.

The soldier was taken aback and turned to look.

Then, an identical pink sports car emerged from the fog and slowly came to a stop in the exact same spot.

The soldier was a little dazed. He stepped forward and saluted.

The car window rolled down, revealing a face that looked exactly like the one wearing sunglasses.

The soldier stared at Ye Lan in the car, completely frozen in place.

He abruptly took two steps back and pressed his hand directly onto the red alarm button.

"Waaah...waaah..."

The piercing alarm blared throughout the checkpoint, and the surrounding soldiers instantly raised their guns, a dozen dark muzzles aimed at the driver's seat.

Several awakened individuals also surrounded the vehicle.

Ye Lan, inside the car, took off her sunglasses, frowned, pushed open the door, got out, glanced around at the guns pointed at her, and said coldly, "What's wrong with me?"

The soldier stared intently at her, his voice tense.

"Captain Ye Lan, you just drove in." The soldier swallowed hard. "That means... right now, there are two of you in Hope Base City."

Ye Lan's expression changed instantly: "This is bad."
