The next day, at first light, the Special Affairs Office was ready to leave B11.
Liu Zhao and the others had tears in their eyes, reluctant to see them go.
The Superpower Persons also had tears in their eyes, but theirs were tears of excitement.
-Hurry up and leave, you devils!
-Get out of our territory!
Liu Zhao wiped his eyes. "Team Leader Sheng, don't worry about us. Now that we've made contact with the Capital City Shelter-no, we should call it the Capital City Base now-things here will get better."
Captain Tan raised his hand in a salute, his tone earnest. "Please stay safe. We wish you success in your mission and a safe, speedy return."
Sheng An raised her hand and returned the salute.
Lowering her hand, she looked at the Superpower Persons beside them and raised an eyebrow. "Happy to see us leave?"
Deng Lan immediately shook his head. "Of course not. We hate to see you go..."
His tone was wildly exaggerated.
Hao Jingye adjusted his glasses and smiled. "In that case, Sister Sheng, why don't we stay another day?"
Deng Lan: "?"
Sheng An let out a long sigh, sounding worried. "I'm worried too. B11 has only just started building its base, and the special matter concentration here is high. Someone could turn into an Otherkind at any moment. It's still far too dangerous. We could stay a while longer."
Deng Lan: "??"
The corners of his mouth twitched. Then, looking resolute and righteous, he declared, "Don't worry, Team Leader Sheng. People in B11 are more likely to become Otherkind, but they're also more likely to awaken superpowers. We have plenty of Superpower Persons. We'll make sure we build the base properly and protect the civilians.
"So please, don't worry about us."
*And definitely don't
