Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 7 Dragon Group

This time, Chu Deng didn't dare let Jin Xiaoyue go home alone. Instead, he got into the driver's car with Jin Xiaoyue and only felt at ease after watching her walk into the villa.

After arriving home, Chu Deng finished her meal as usual, only to see her younger brother, Chu Lin, take out a holographic helmet. "Sis, it's the weekend tomorrow, want to play 'Star Travel World' together?"

Chu Deng shook her head. "I have something to do today. I'll do it when I have time."

Afterwards, Chu Deng logged into her computer, set it to incognito mode, adjusted it to a private network, and began browsing the meteorite news she had seen that day.

Even more detailed than what she found on the playground, it states that on March 8, 2068, at 4:36 PM local time, a giant meteorite fell in Antarctica, causing explosions and earthquakes that resulted in casualties among researchers and tourists…

Chu Deng scrolled through the relevant links and found several blurry videos. Some showed the sky flashing with colorful lights, while others were chaotic videos of injured people on stretchers. However, she couldn't find any of the meteorite photos she had seen earlier. Chu Deng patiently searched for the news she had seen that morning, only to find that the meteorite photo had been replaced with a distant view, and it was very blurry. Only the white meteorite could be seen; all the specific details had been deleted.

Because it was official news, it was released earliest and had the most comments. Chu Deng read several highly-rated ones.

A gift from the universe!

UFOs have landed in Antarctica, and aliens are attacking Earth!

[High-price buyback of meteorites. Add holographic ID 4127*************4658.]

This is a white stony meteorite, which is quite rare and has high collectible value.

[Science Time! Meteorites can be classified into stony meteorites, iron meteorites, and stony-iron meteorites based on their composition...]

I am a survivor of the Antarctic expedition and urgently need donations. Please add my QQ number if you are kind-hearted.

[The person upstairs is a scammer; I've reported them.]

……

What the hell is this? Chu Deng remained expressionless, feeling that her emotions had been wasted. She silently regretted rejecting her brother's game invitation and could only put on the holographic helmet and play "Star Travel World" by herself.

As soon as he entered the game, Chu Deng looked around and his expression changed.

What a coincidence! She landed on Osmanthus Street, in the bluestone alley during the day.

Fortunately, only the map is the same as in reality; the plot is different from reality.

Chu Deng first completed the patrol game from the last save, which involved searching for suspicious individuals along Peach Blossom Street, Plum Blossom Street, Orchid Street, and Osmanthus Street.

Chu Deng looked at the red dot above her field of vision, opened the auxiliary bar, and saw the task prompts.

A water-based ability user is lurking near Shanghai No. 1 High School. Please patrol the surrounding streets and look for suspicious individuals! [Lights Dimming - Patrol Progress: 37%]

This is a two-player task; the system has automatically matched you with a teammate.

[Your partner - Starry Sky, patrol progress: 45%.]

"Tsk." Chu Deng clicked her tongue, her competitive spirit subtly aroused. She moved through the streets like lightning, leaving only a wisp of wind for the many people, whether they were people or players, who were strolling around.

【灯火阑珊 巡视进度:38%……39%……44%……46%……54%……63%……72%。】

She quickly surveyed her surroundings, not missing a single detail, so cautious yet so relaxed.

Watching the patrol progress far surpass that of his teammates with a cheerful mood, Chu Deng didn't rush to catch up. Instead, he grabbed a man wearing a black baseball cap from the crowd.

The man's eyes narrowed, but without asking why, he twisted and turned and took off the outer garment that Chu Deng had grabbed, instantly transforming into a well-endowed man in a vest. He then hurried towards the crowd.

"Damn it, who is it?! Don't you have eyes?"

"Hey! How can you be like this!"

"Why are you running? In such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"Ahhhh!"

The two weaved through the crowd, and the men and women who bumped into them complained loudly. Some even tried to grab their clothes to stop them, but Chu Deng didn't give them a chance. It was obvious that her target's water-based ability was more powerful; he directly watered his limbs, leaving the passersby with nothing to grab.

"Not bad!" Chu Deng whistled; his opponent wasn't weak, which was interesting. Then he muttered to himself, "Is he cheating? Elementalization should be at least level six, and even I can't get rid of it. This guy's highest level is three. Is this game's setting really that overpowered?"

Taking a quick glance at the auxiliary bar, Chu Deng noticed that her randomly matched teammates' patrol progress was skyrocketing as she ran. They were probably competing with each other and she wondered if they could catch up quickly. As a level 1 newbie in the game, she couldn't possibly handle this elemental water-type ability user.

Chu Deng chased the water-type ability user from Peach Blossom Street all the way to Orchid Street, closing in step by step.

Seeing this, the man cursed under his breath and ran towards the sewer in the corner of the street. Just as he was about to escape through the drain by turning his whole body into water, Chu Deng's eyes hardened. He raised his hand, ready to release flames to cover the drain, determined not to let him get away with it.

Just then, a layer of ice suddenly formed on the steel grid drain, and flames rushed up onto it. As water and fire intertwined, a large amount of water vapor was released, creating a fog that obscured visibility.

"Aaaaaaah!" The elemental water-transformed ability user screamed in agony, appearing with a face burning red.

When the flames died down, the ice on the drain was completely undamaged.

The saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot."

Chu Deng kicked the man in the neck, and the superhuman collapsed to the ground, making intimate contact with the earth.

"Stars?"

"The lights are dim."

The two exchanged a glance, confirmed each other's identities, and then Xingchen used ice to freeze the water system before carrying the large ice sculpture one after the other to the [Dragon Group Base] marked on the map.

"Are you a level two ice-type?" Chu Deng asked curiously on the way. She looked at the white-clad, black-trousered boy in front of her who had one hand encircling the head of the large ice sculpture. He seemed to be about her age. "How did you level up?"

“Do tasks, accumulate points, and exchange them for crystals,” Xingchen answered succinctly, then paused and added, “The Dragon Group base has information about it.”

Seemingly afraid that she would keep asking questions, Xingchen pulled her mask up even higher.

Chu Deng, feeling awkward, didn't say anything more and followed the others to the legendary Dragon Group base.

It's that Dragon Group that appears in countless novels, specifically managing people with superpowers, and frequented by a bunch of big shots!

酷!

Chu Deng's heart was filled with excitement. When they arrived at the base, Chu Deng exclaimed in amazement.

This Dragon Group base is incredibly luxurious. The main gate is so wide it could fit an aircraft carrier. A huge azure dragon's head is coiled atop the gate, its mouth wide open as if emitting a deafening roar. Its pair of bright black eyes solemnly watch over every ability user who enters, making one wonder from the bottom of their heart if it is a real dragon guarding this place.

Chu Deng followed Xingchen inside without any hindrance, which suggests that there must be some kind of automatic detection system for people with superpowers.

Upon entering, one sees a huge inner hall bustling with people. Various elemental ability users are discussing things enthusiastically, there are vendors selling goods, people turning in and receiving missions, and the most crowded area is the place where ability user levels are tested. Cheers can be heard from time to time, making Chu Deng's heart itch with excitement.

This scene before her eyes was not found in the post-apocalyptic world. Post-apocalyptic superhumans are very suspicious. The trials of humanity in the early stages of the apocalypse have made them numb and indifferent. They are mostly wary of each other and fight each other. She had never seen such a harmonious scene before.

After handing in their mission, Chu Deng and Xing Chen said goodbye and plunged into the sea of ​​superhumans, looking left and right, finding everything strange and wonderful.

"Tch—where did this country bumpkin come from, so uncultured?" A sarcastic male voice rang out. Chu Deng looked around and saw a short man in front of her looking at her with disdain.

Chu Deng thought the guy didn't look Chinese, so she turned on the hidden game name setting and saw that the short guy's game name was [Kawashima Taro].

Good soil.

Chu Deng looked down at the short man, thinking silently, then a strange pity crossed her eyes.

She actually saw the Japanese people who were on the verge of extinction in her past life!
