Chapter 16 A Gross Mistake
Qingjiang Road is a major station with a high volume of passengers. During the evening rush hour, the crowds were so large that you couldn't see the end of the line.
At first, passengers scanned their codes to exit the station, but as screams rose and fell, their fear quickly escalated to an uncontrollable level.
People pushed over the railings and rushed out.
The latest data released by the Federation shows that among global superhumans, the physical enhancement sequence accounts for the highest proportion, followed by the elemental, mental, and energy sequences.
The initial levels of superhumans when they first awaken are 52.4% F level, 42.7% E level, 4.8% D level, and only 0.1% C level and above.
The level will increase with age and mastery of superpowers, but those who can break through to level C are still extremely rare, and level B is even rarer.
Judging from the data alone, the physical enhancement sequence is the most common, but it is also the most widely used sequence in daily life.
This point is vividly demonstrated at this moment.
The speed-type ability user took the lead, rushed out of the station, and escaped the danger of being squeezed in the crowd.
Those with strength-based abilities disregarded everything, forcefully pushing and shoving those in front of them, even lifting up those blocking their way and tossing them aside like trash, clearing a path for themselves to pass quickly.
Elemental ability users don't have much of an advantage in this environment. This is because most of them use common elements like water, fire, and earth, and their levels are generally not high.
Those with heightened senses not only lack an advantage, but are also disturbed by the chaotic sounds and complex smells around them, causing intense stimulation to their sensory nerves.
Some people suddenly stand still while walking; this is because their minds have been temporarily controlled by a person with mental interference abilities.
Some people held backpacks, levitated into the air, and then quickly fell back down.
It's not flight, but rather telekinesis. This ability can only be applied to external objects and cannot be used to lock onto oneself. However, by controlling external objects to levitate, one can achieve the effect of "fake flight."
Although the energy manipulation sequence sounds impressive and has a high potential, breaking through its bottleneck is dozens of times more difficult than physical fitness and elemental sequences.
Therefore, most people with superpowers in this sequence remain at the E level for their entire lives, and their control over the weight and time of objects is very limited.
In the face of disaster, driven by panic and fear, people instinctively use their supernatural abilities, completely disregarding the lives of others.
In just half a minute, Qingjiang Road Station was in complete chaos.
On the escalator at the exit, people were constantly being pushed and shoved, falling and being crushed by those behind them. The stairwells were even more chaotic, and a stampede quickly broke out.
"Don't push, don't push!"
"Someone's dying! Please stop pushing!"
"Damn it, get out of here if you want to die! It's going to explode, why aren't you running?"
People kept pleading and calling for help, but there were even more shouts of abuse and panic.
"Oh, my child, don't push me! My child, help!"
The woman screamed in terror, but her body was uncontrollably pushed forward by the pedestrians behind her.
A stroller, like a pebble tossed about by a rushing torrent, was jostled around in the crowd, the child's terrified cries drowned out by the cacophony of shouts.
A power-type ability user charged left and right like a bull, knocking over several people. A girl screamed as he picked her up and threw her away, slamming her against a GG screen mounted on the wall.
The screen shattered instantly.
Just as the shards were about to hit the stroller, a figure rushed forward in time.
At the same time, another figure caught the girl.
The young man in military uniform with a buzz cut put the girl down and roared, "Don't run around! Don't trample her!"
However, it had no effect.
People gripped by fear have their brains essentially shut down; they can't listen to anything.
"You're injured!"
The young man in military uniform frowned as he looked at Qi Te, who was protecting the stroller. He noticed several cuts on Qi Te's face and neck, from which blood was seeping out.
"fine."
Qi Te quickly unfastened the clasp, took out the crying little one, and handed it to the young man in military uniform.
"The child's mother was wearing a beige cotton coat and a blue fluffy hat with a rabbit cartoon sticker on the back."
The young man was clearly amazed by Zite's observation and memory. He then noticed the rapidly healing wound on the other's cheek and immediately realized that the other was a self-healing type.
In comparison, my speed-based character is clearly more suited to finding the child's mother.
"It's out of control, be careful!"
The young man quickly took the baby and dodged left and right through the crowd as fast as he could, rushing towards the exit.
In the surging crowd, that camouflage figure was like a streak of light.
Grade C!
Qi Te's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with Ji Chenyu, and this soldier's speed at this moment far exceeded his good brother's limit.
"How's it going on your end? With such an emergency, is that guy still following us?"
Cao Yingchong's voice came through the Bluetooth headset. Qi Te rejoined the crowd, saying as he walked towards the exit, "Follow me."
"The road is open. I'll be there in about five or six minutes. Which exit are you coming out from?"
"A-2"
.....................
In less than ten minutes, the emergency rescue team and rescue personnel rushed to Qingjiang Road subway station.
The nearest police station responded promptly, but due to the thousands of passengers desperately trying to escape, the scene was too chaotic, and the dozen or so police officers from the police station were simply unable to control such a large-scale event.
The sheriff in charge had no choice but to instruct his officers to do everything they could to help the injured.
The sirens of ambulances wailed, and several were already parked at various exits, with paramedics on board providing first aid to those who had been trampled or had fainted.
When the number of people reaches a certain level, the pressure created when people are crowded together can easily cause suffocation in people who are slightly weak.
Qi Te felt like a small fish in the ocean, being carried along by the current. If he hadn't unexpectedly gained self-healing ability, he probably would have fainted, given his small physique and lack of exercise.
Finally, Zite walked out of the exit.
The cold, fresh air rushed into his nostrils, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Large numbers of passengers fled the station, creating a dense and crowded scene.
Police officers used megaphones to disperse the crowd.
"I'll be at the intersection soon."
Without giving it much thought, Qi Te quickly moved toward the location Cao Yingchong had indicated.
After weaving through the crowd, there were noticeably fewer pedestrians when we reached the corner.
Turning right, Qi Te immediately spotted a dark blue sedan approaching; it was Cao Yingchong's car.
Qi Te suddenly stopped and looked at Zheng Xinjian, who had been following him.
The latter rushed forward almost without hesitation and threw a punch right at the first sign of trouble.
Qi Te was prepared and dodged the attack.
Zheng Xinjian pressed forward relentlessly, throwing punches, one of which landed on a roadside signpost.
Qi Te's pupils suddenly contracted, and the dynamic imaging vision allowed him to see with perfect clarity that the thick steel pillar was actually covered with cracks.
Sure enough, less than two seconds later, the pillar snapped with a crack, and the sign fell sideways. A passing car swerved sharply, narrowly avoiding a collision.
"So many people died, why didn't you die?!"
Zheng Xinjian roared and charged again.
As Chit dodged the big guy's attacks, he urged, "Calm down..."
"I'm going to kill you today, kill you!"
Zheng Xinjian's eyes became bloodshot, turning completely red in an instant. His neck muscles bulged, and his entire face flushed a deep liver color.
Qi Te frowned, sensing something was wrong.
Is this guy crazy?
He was right; Zheng Xinjian had really gone mad.
Everyone was still a student, and Qi Te never imagined that the other party's hatred for him had reached the point of no return.
While strength-based ability users cannot match the movement speed of speed-based ability users, the speed they can unleash with the enhancement of strength is far beyond what Zit can match.
Zheng Xinjian stomped his foot, leaped several meters into the air, and arrived in front of Qi Te in the blink of an eye.
The big guy grabbed him and punched him repeatedly.
Qi Te felt dizzy and his ears were ringing.
He instinctively grabbed Zheng Xinjian's strong, muscular left arm with both hands, but he couldn't break free from the iron clamp-like grip.
"stop!"
Cao Yingchong parked the car on the side of the road, pushed open the door and rushed out, shouting angrily, "If anything happens to Qi Te, you won't escape either!"
Zheng Xinjian seemed not to hear him at all, and threw another heavy punch at Qi Te's forehead.
"puff"
Qi Te coughed up a mouthful of blood, and he clearly heard a cracking sound.
My neck is broken!
Breathing suddenly became difficult, and consciousness began to blur.
Cao Yingchong immediately sensed something was wrong. Ignoring the regulations on superpower management, he raised his hands and unleashed a barrage of wind blades that slashed across Zheng Xinjian's legs.
However, this thing didn't react at all, as if it couldn't feel any pain.
"die!"
"Die, you son of a bitch!"
Zheng Xinjian pulled his right arm open, his eyes fixed on Qi Te, whose head had already drooped.
Cao Yingchong, who always paid attention to his image, rushed forward with bloodshot eyes and tightly gripped Zheng Xinjian's right wrist with both hands.
However, the two sides are vastly different in strength.
Cao Yingchong, who is over 180cm tall, actually lifted both feet off the ground.
Even with someone hanging from his wrist, Zheng Xinjian showed no sign of stopping.
Just as the punch was about to land, a wind blade grazed past Zheng Xinjian's throat.
Blood spurted out, and passersby screamed in horror.
Cao Yingchong immediately released his hands, intending to pick up Qi Te. However, Zheng Xinjian, whose throat had been slit, let out a low groan and suddenly threw Qi Te toward the left side of the road.
'Zi'
The sound of screeching brakes rang out, followed by a loud bang.
Qi Te crashed into a bus, his body lurched backward, and after landing, he was run over by an SUV.
Passing vehicles were also involved in a chain-reaction rear-end collision due to this sudden accident.
Cao Yingchong stood there, stunned, his mind blank.
He was wrong.
Big mistakes.
He shouldn't have made that suggestion to Qi Te; he greatly underestimated Zheng Xinjian's malice.
He's the one who killed Zit!
