Chapter 35: Chapter 35: An Invisible Chicken Rib? Chapter 35: Chapter 35: An Invisible Chicken Rib? Lu Changyuan seed thoughtful, “So, it doesn’t really disappear; it’s just invisible to the eye.”
Bai Kairui nodded.
Lu Changyuan was very curious and asked him, “To what extent can you do this? Besides making yourself invisible, can you make other objects invisible as well?”
“I don’t know… It doesn’t work every ti, but we can give it a try.”
After asking Bai Kairui, Lu Changyuan turned to Han Jiaojiao, “What about the vision of the Alien Species? Do they rely on sight when hunting?”
“…I don’t know… But the fully-ford Alien Species have extrely acute hearing, they can hear sounds from far away, I think they probably rely mainly on their hearing to hunt.”
Lu Changyuan murmured as if to himself, “But invisibility just ans you can’t be seen, once you start moving you’re bound to make noise, doesn’t that an the invisibility ability isn’t practical?”
Han Jiaojiao frowned and thought for a mont. In the Special Training Team she used to be part of, there were also Superpower Users, but most of them belonged to the Enhancent Type; among the Control Type she only knew Su Xue, the Water Ability user. As for cases like Bai Kairui, she had never encountered them, so she wasn’t sure whether it was practical or not.
Han Yi said, “The invisibility ability is originally supposed to be more defensive than offensive, its role is more about cover, so it’s not appropriate to judge its practicality purely from an offensive perspective.”
Lu Changyuan nodded in realization and then said, “Assuming the Alien Species are creatures with very poor vision, wouldn’t their habit be to be nocturnal? Like bats, for example.”
Han Jiaojiao looked towards the dead Alien Species outside, thinking Lu Changyuan was really sharp.
“Yes, the Alien Species like dark and damp environnts, the fully-ford Alien Species almost never co out during the day unless it’s overcast or raining.”
Lu Changyuan quickly took out a small notebook from his pocket, jotted down a few more notes with his pen, “Is there a reason for that? Are they afraid of the sun?”
Han Jiaojiao knitted her brows, as if trying to rember sothing. “It should just be a habit, I guess. If they’re hungry or provoked, they will also co out of their nests during the day. However, they are very clumsy under the sunlight.”
“What’s the principle behind that? Is it that the high temperature of the sun makes them uncomfortable, or is it that their eyes can’t see clearly under bright light?… Is it possible that they are afraid of dehydration?”
Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but pause. High temperature? Dehydration?…
In her previous life, she never systematically understood the Alien Species. When she was in the Special Training Team, the captain only taught them where to strike the Alien Species to have an easier ti of it, and how to save their lives in dangerous situations. But she hadn’t expected Lu Changyuan to be so perceptive; even though he hadn’t confronted the Alien Species directly, he had discovered many of their characteristics through certain details.
Han Jiaojiao answered him, “Although I’m not very sure, I really haven’t seen any Alien Species in desert areas, just so Mutant Plants and desert Mutant Beasts.” Having lived on the Gobi for so long, no one knew these things better than her.
Lu Changyuan then said to Han Yi, “Ayi, maybe we shouldn’t burn that thing for now? I want to drag it back and take a look.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there were clearly audible gasps all around.
Han Jiaojiao truly admired Lu Changyuan, but she thought this wasn’t the right mont to study it, so she advised him, “Brother Lu, the Alien Species hasn’t mutated fully yet, and their internal structure isn’t much different from a human’s, it might be better to wait… and there’s also the risk of infection if we drag it back…”
Lu Changyuan wasn’t too fixated on the idea and just nodded after a brief contemplation, waving his hand towards Yan Xiao, “Go ahead and burn it.”
Yan Xiao stood rigid, not moving, “How about… we use gasoline.”
Xiao Jian pushed him towards the door, “Let’s go.”
Lu Changyuan added from behind, “When you burn it, stand back a bit and practice controlling the distance of your Fireballs.”
Bai Kairui looked pale as he watched them, his voice trembling, “You, you… Are you not afraid…?”
Afraid?
Everyone just smiled faintly and began walking back inside. Bai Kairui followed, “How do you all know so much?… And… the Alien Species, are they those monsters?… Not zombies?…”
Lu Changyuan, like a benevolent elder, draped an arm around Bai Kairui’s shoulder and said, “If you want to stay, you need to talk less and do more, understand?”
Bai Kairui imdiately nodded repeatedly in terror, but couldn’t stop himself from blurting out, “Are you guys the mafia?! Are you… that what’s its na… Longxing Gang?! Yakuza?!”
Pfft!…
This English lad, your imagination really is too rich, all right?
After they entered the house, Han Jiaojiao pulled Han Yi to one side, a bit uneasy she whispered, “Brother, did I talk too much just now?”
About Alien Species and all… Can the Ability of premonition really see that far into detail? But if it wasn’t premonition, then that dream of hers was so strange, so illogical. How should she explain it if soone asked?
When Lu Changyuan had asked, she had spoken quite naturally, not wanting her own concealnt to plant any hidden dangers for the team’s future battles. But upon reflection, she couldn’t help feeling regret; maybe she should have discussed it with her brother first and let him take the lead, which always seed safer.
“Brother… they won’t suspect sothing, will they?”
Han Yi gently stroked her smooth hair, his voice low, “No. If Changyuan asked you, it was because he trusts you.”
Han Jiaojiao looked up cautiously to see Han Yi’s expression, “What about you, Brother? Do you… do you also believe in my dream?”
But Han Yi’s voice was calm as he said, “Brother doesn’t think it was a dream.”
—What does he know?!
Han Jiaojiao’s heart tightened suddenly, only to see Han Yi’s expression was sowhat teasing. He said, “If it were a dream, Brother would definitely have done sothing to Jiaojiao, just like that ti.”
Han Jiaojiao naturally knew what Han Yi was referring to, that incident… that incident was genuinely too embarrassing! She could only pretend to be innocently clueless, “…I don’t know what Brother is talking about…”
Han Yi took Han Jiaojiao’s hand and pulled her close to his waist, his eyebrows slightly raised as he said, “So Jiaojiao doesn’t rember, then perhaps tonight Brother should accompany Jiaojiao in a dream once more?”
Han Jiaojiao pulled her hand back, blushing with both hands covering her face, she muttered “Brother is the worst!” and then turned and ran away.
…
Yan Xiao burned nearly two hours outside until the bodies beca a pile of charred remains.
During this ti, there were gunshots from afar. Everyone grabbed their weapons and went out, but the dense forests made it only possible to figure out the general direction. They weren’t sure exactly what had happened, so they gathered around Yan Xiao to let him focus on dealing with the bodies.
Bai Kairui couldn’t help but mutter, “Isn’t this supposed to be a country that doesn’t allow firearms and controlled weapons… All lies…” After saying that, his eyes greedily scanned over the gun in Xiao Jian’s hands.
Everyone else was torn between laughter and fear, the tense atmosphere picking up a strange sense of humor.
After a long ti, until Yan Xiao had finished dealing with the corpses and bloodstains, nothing else had happened.
Han Jiaojiao figured it was probably a resident of a nearby villa. The person had either died or, after killing an Alien Species, shut themselves in. If the latter was the case, she could only hope in her heart that they would clean up the scene well; otherwise, once night fell, the sll might attract more attacks from mutant creatures…
As dusk fell and the gates closed, the iron fence was electrified, and the villa seed to be donning a set of sturdy armor; Bai Kairui watched, amazed.
His emotions always ran high and dissipated just as fast. He had just been scared of Han Yi and the others, but now he was excitedly pulling Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian, expressing his elation.
“I knew I was following the right people! You all are no ordinary people, right?! Hey! Do you guys have insider information? Who exactly caused this biochemical crisis? I swear I won’t tell…”
