Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 54 Chaos

Yu An and Liang Wufan witnessed the entire process of the Fire Butterfly's fall. After He Feiquan landed, they held their recording equipment but did not come up to greet him. Instead, they looked at their personal computers with solemn expressions.

He Feiquan's personal terminal also lit up. He opened it and saw two distress messages: one from an individual and the other from the Haishi base.

"Someone attacked the base. Yu An, contact Qi Miaoke for rescue. Liang Wufan, take me to the Haishi base." Without time for reflection, He Feiquan quickly gave the orders.

Liang Wufan drove to the door, He Feiquan sat in the back seat, but Yu An looked back at Chuiguang Lake with some concern.

“The situation is urgent now. Let’s wait until everything is settled before we come back to erect a monument for her.” He Feiquan held the medicine in his hand, his gaze distant: “Although her merits and demerits cannot be offset, she should still have a place to rest in peace.”

Chinese people have always valued the dead, believing that death is the end of all suffering.

Feng Xuedie returned to China before her death, probably wanting to return to her roots.

After the three drove away, a figure emerged from the bushes and stood quietly by the Chuiguang Lake, gazing at the calm lake surface.

"I think I'm a step too late," Chu Deng said softly. The moonlight slept in the water, and the desolate night accentuated the mood of parting.

"Then I wish you a safe journey..."

Words devoid of emotion vanished in the wind. It seemed the visitor was merely bidding farewell to an old friend, unable to witness the death of the Fire Butterfly. Perhaps this was a gesture of consideration from the departed.

"The attackers consist of three people: one with a level four metal-type ability, one with a level four wood-type ability, and one with a level three ice-type ability. There may also be a space-type ability user of unknown level providing support. Their target is Jin Dahai, one of the key figures in awakening his abilities." Yu An read out the mission details, unaware of Liang Wufan's meaningful gaze.

"To be able to teleport people into the base, one must be at least a level three spatial ability user, plus two level four users. That's quite a feat," He Feiquan exclaimed. What key information about superpower awakening did Jin Dahai possess that made the enemy so wary?

If it truly is something that can directly trigger the awakening of superpowers in ordinary people, then sending out as many experts as possible is justified, because...

Those with superpowers will become the backbone of national security.

Thinking of his recent conversation with his senior Jiang Guoqiang, He Feiquan closed his eyes, a hint of melancholy creeping into his sharp, handsome features.

"Be careful." Yu An, who got off the bus halfway to contact the nanny, said to the two who were charging ahead, then turned around and got into another modified car to go to Haishi No. 1 High School to find Qi Miaoke.

"Go all the way up, they're about to give up." He Feiquan took over the surveillance at the Hai City Superpower Base and saw that the surveillance cameras at the entrance and in the central area had been destroyed. However, Wu Qingyun, the sole leader of the base, had led the group to an open area outside. He Feiquan then applied for external traffic surveillance and saw footage of the fight between the individuals.

Zhao Junxing was among them. On his way to investigate the Jinshui residential area, he was urgently recalled to the base for defense. Zhao Junxing, who was only level three, was completely outmatched by the opponent's level four metal element in terms of metal control. He could only barely assist Wu Qingyun and could not become a direct combat force.

In order to supervise the superhumans in each province, in addition to the three Level 4 joint guards arranged in first-tier cities, the superhuman bases in other provincial capitals have at most one Level 4 superhuman, and some remote areas do not even have a Level 4 powerhouse stationed there.

Normally, they can barely maintain a balance, but once the other side sends out powerful individuals to attack, the weakness of China's lack of high-level superhumans is exposed.

Although China has a large population and ranks among the top three countries in the world for the number of people with superpowers, it doesn't have many high-level people with superpowers!

Unlike neighboring Japan, with a population of just over 100 million, there are not many superhumans, but they are highly skilled. They possess vast sea areas, surrounded by hunting grounds, which have honed many powerful superhumans. The number of level four superhumans in this small country is almost comparable to that of China.

It was precisely because of this realization that Tong Yusheng and He Feiquan were given high hopes. There were too many low-level ability users and it was unclear how to focus on cultivating them. The plan was to gradually increase the prize value of the national competition, select outstanding low-level ability users for training, and then use crystal cores and practical experience to cultivate the highest-level ones to support the world. Things would be better once they developed further.

The reason why He Feiquan became a Level 5 ability user shocked the world is simply because his existence made China the only country with two Level 5 powerhouses.

After the news spread rapidly, He Feiquan encountered several assassination attempts, but those below level five were merely whetstones for him.

There aren't many countries with Level 5 powerhouses these days. Those Level 5 ability users are either seeking breakthroughs or have retired to raise younger generations. Not many are interested in He Feiquan.

However, this time it is completely different from He Feiquan's upgrade. Other countries are still in the stage of purely relying on luck when it comes to the awakening of superpowers. China has grasped the key to the awakening of superpowers. In the future, the number of superpower users will be much larger. In less than 30 years, the number of high-level superpower users in China will increase significantly. At that time, they will not be able to catch up with them.

After a long period of research, the key figure who had awakened his superpowers, Jin Dahai, was finally identified, and of course, they were willing to protect him at all costs.

The people sent on the mission were all top-tier level 3 experts, and level 4 experts were urgently dispatched to reinforce the mission route. Once the people were transported to the capital, Beijing, with Jiang Guoqiang, a level 5 wind-element expert, in charge, and four level 4 experts stationed at the capital's superhuman base, there was absolutely nothing to fear.

The plan was good. As a Level 3 Space System user, Xiao Yuan could teleport to a fixed point. The only two drawbacks were that he could only teleport people with superpowers, and the person being teleported had to be accompanied by him personally. He led a team of people with superpowers from Beijing to Hai City to escort Jin Dahai to Beijing to attend a secret meeting.

After the meeting, Jin Dahai insisted on returning to Haishi to continue refining his experiments. His experimental equipment was specially developed and he had put a lot of effort into assembling it by importing parts from abroad. There was no relevant equipment in Beijing at the moment. In order to develop a stable superpower awakening agent as soon as possible, Jin Dahai had no choice but to return to Haishi.

Xiao Yuan had no objection to this. After successfully escorting Jin Dahai home, he felt at ease and stayed at the Jin family's residence with his team members Sang Siqing and Tang Mingyun.

Once the other level-four ability users who were secretly protecting Jin Dahai saw that he was safe enough, they returned to their respective bases.

But the problem arose when they let their guard down. That day, Jin Dahai was working on experiments all night. As soon as he left the lab, he was attacked. The attackers were ruthless and decisive, preferring Jin Dahai to die rather than let him live and produce any results.

Despite the fact that ordinary people cannot withstand spatial teleportation, Xiao Yuan urgently stole Jin Dahai to his side. Under the protection of Sang Siqing and Tang Mingyun, he took Jin Dahai into the Haishi Base.

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to personally teleport the various bases to bring level four experts to Hai City to protect Jin Dahai, he discovered that his long-distance spatial teleportation ability was blocked, and he was being suppressed by a high-level spatial ability user!

Through the information exchange via the optical computer, other level-four powerhouses who were relatively close to the city were more or less hindered and unable to provide reinforcements.

In an emergency, Xiao Yuan could only cooperate with Wu Qingyun to play a defensive counter-attack while waiting for He Feiquan to return to the Haishi base.
