I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse - Chapter 95
Chapter 95: Chang Yi’s Steady Hand
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Attas Studios
The officials had been keeping a close eye on Chang Yi.
After all, the ability to fly was a formidable power at this stage—regardless of the level of the Awakened, the strategic value of flying was undeniable.
Hearing Chang Yi’s words, despite having some vague concerns about Chang Yi and the woman in his arms, the official shelter quickly opened its gate.
The two of them walked out of the gate.
One was Bai Tianyu, and the other was the former mayor of Nanxiang City before the apocalypse, Gao Junyi.
Gao Junyi was about 1.7 meters tall, weighing a full 200 kilograms. His chubby face carried a friendly smile, making his eyes appear as narrow slits.
“Welcome, both of you. This is an official establishment…”
“I know what you do here.” Before Gao Junyi could finish speaking, Chang Yi had already waved his hand and interrupted.
This made Gao Junyi and Bai Tianyu frown.
The newcomer seemed unfriendly!
But, Chang Yi did not care.
He did not come with good intentions in the first place. And he would not bother considering all the nuances and complications.
What I do is what 1 wanted!
Was there a need to feign civility? Totally unnecessary.
As the saying goes, “if I feel a little aggrieved or unhappy, it would be disrespectful to my strength!”
Bai Tianyu took a deep breath and walked up to Chang Yi.
Their eyes met, and hostility began to brew.
Just as Bai Tianyu was about to say something, Huo Sheng’s voice suddenly echoed in Bai Tianyu’s ears from afar—it sounded like a thousand-mile sound transmission.
“He’s a Level 5 Awakened. You have to agree to whatever he says for the time being.”
Bai Tianyu was stunned.
In the underground of the official shelter.
In front of the huge instrument, Huo Sheng looked at the numbers displayed on the instrument and felt a bit at a loss.
This instrument was the instrument used by the officials to detect Cheng Cheng’s advancement. At this moment, Chang Yi came to the vicinity of the official shelter and the instrument successfully detected Chang Yi’s power level.
[Level 5!]
Data that should not have appeared at this stage.
The questions that followed…
How did this man become a Level 5 Awakened?
What was his motive for coming to the official shelter?
Also, what was his superpower?
Arranged in order of importance, these questions needed answers.
How did he advance to this level? Where did he get the Tier 4 zombie crystals? Once this question was resolved, the strength of the Awakened in the shelter would definitely advance by leaps and bounds!
Secondly, his purpose in coming here—this determined the logic of how the officials would deal with him.
Finally, what was his superpower? This determined his combat prowess.
In the event of conflict between the two sides, his superpowers would undoubtedly be a key factor in determining the outcome.
There is temporarily no answer to the first question.
The second question… From his words and logic, it seems this person is not here with good intentions.
As for the third question, his superpower is flight… but it’s unclear whether its a simple flying ability or a flying effect derived from another ability.
With these thoughts in mind, Huo Sheng immediately spoke, and his voice transmitted directly into Bai Tianyu’s ears.
“He’s a Level 5 Awakened. You have to agree to whatever he says for the time being.”
Bai Tianyu was suddenly in a dilemma.
He stood in before Chang Yi, not knowing whether to move forward or retreat.
He was just a Level 3 Awakened. Even if his superpower could temporarily erupt with the strength of a Level 4, he was still no match for a Level 5 Awakened.
Bai Tianyu felt a little aggrieved.
Soon, he could not help but have such a thought.
A Level 5 Awakened… If the person standing here was Brother Lu, he would definitely rip off this kid’s head without a second thought…
(Lu Ming, “1 definitely wouldn’t do that. I’m not that hot-tempered.)
However, Bai Tianyu did not know that Chang Yi possessed multiple superpowers.
One of them, known as “Mind Listening,”—he could hear the innermost thoughts of living beings.
Chang Yi was also stunned.
‘Level 5 Awakened… Are you talking about me? So, can this place detect the level of an Awakened?’
‘And that Brother Lu… What kind of person is he?’
Originally, Chang Yi’s plan was to bulldoze this place.
He would take revenge for grievances and settle scores. He would kill until he was satisfied.
However, now that his Mind Listening superpower had given him new information, he also came up with a new idea.
‘This burly man in front of me knows that I’m a Level 5 Awakened, but he still believes that Brother Lu can twist my head off.’
‘And those two zombies from before, they also said that there’s a monster here that’s even more powerful than me…’
To be honest, Chang Yi was indeed a bit eccentric.
Given his personality, even with his extraordinary superpower, it would be challenging for him to survive the initial stages.
However, “Mind listening” made the impossible possible for Changyi. This superpower had brought him an abundance of information and compensated for his wealmess in interpersonal relations, allowing him to avoid countless crises.
As a result, a scene unfolded in front of the gate of the official shelter.
Bai Tianyu and Chang Yi stood facing each other.
The two of them locked eyes, seemingly deeply troubled and conflicted.
Until Chang Yi grinned.
“Yes, I know that this is an official shelter. I brought my wife here because I heard that this place can protect the safety of commoners like us.”
After saying that, he scratched his head awkwardly. “Well, we haven’t had a proper meal for a few days. Do you have any food here?”
Just a moment ago, he was full of arrogance, looking down on everyone.
But now, he suddenly acted like an innocent and obedient child.
Chang Yi had left Baitian Yu and Gao Junyi completely confused.
Gao Junyi pushed Bai Tianyu away and approached Chang Yi.
He smiled and said, “There’s enough food. Please follow me.”
Gao Junyi and Baitian Yu were responsible for receiving Chang Yi, but in fact, Huo Sheng was still the one making the decisions.
Inside the room where the equipment was located, Huo Sheng had seen everything that had just happened.
Huo Sheng was confused by Chang Yi’s change in attitude…
“He came here in an aggressive manner, but before we could say anything, his attitude took a 180-degree turn. What is this kid thinking?”
This question also remained unanswered. Helpless, Huo Sheng could only continue to observe Chang Yi’s every move.
One of the guards beside him spoke up, “Professor Huo, should we ask Brother Lu to come over?”
Huo Sheng immediately shook his head. “No need.”
Whether Lu Ming was willing to come or not was the biggest issue—since the bilateral alliance until now, Lu Ming had never come to the official shelter.
Moreover, he could not always rely on Lu Ming for everything. Lu Ming did not owe anyone anything.
Huo Sheng knew very well that Lu Ming was getting stronger every day, every moment. Delaying Lu Ming’s time was tantamount to hindering his growth, putting everyone in danger in the future.
The logic behind this was crystal clear to Huo Sheng.
Therefore, he decided to let the official shelter handle this person on their own. Even if they could not handle it, they should keep him occupied until the very last moment, then seek Lu Ming’s assistance.
With Lu Ming’s abilities, as long as they could buy him enough time, all problems would naturally be resolved!
There was nothing wrong with that!
