Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 120 Gap

Beijing Airport

After the plane landed, the ground crew quickly mobilized and worked in an orderly manner with the people on board to transfer the frostbitten people to the medical vehicles.

"Go back to base first!"

"Oxygen mask!"

"A pacemaker!"

"There's someone in shock here, save them first!"

In the midst of the chaos, Wei Chengxue managed to squeeze into the encirclement and shouted, "I am a level two Light System, let me do it, let me do it."

Unexpectedly, he, who was always welcomed by the medical team, was pushed away. "It's no use. They are ordinary people suffering from frostbite in Antarctica. Light-based healing would cause their blood vessels to burst and kill them."

Wei Chengxue was taken aback, but the ground crew grabbed him and made way for him, saying, "Don't block the way."

Wei Chengxue stumbled as he was pulled along, and his companion frowned and said, "Hey! What's wrong with you! We came to help out of kindness!"

The man roughly pulled Wei Chengxue aside and sneered, "You superhumans are always so arrogant. When have you ever helped us ordinary people for free? We're always paid to do things! Now that you're of no use, stop getting in the way. If you're not earning any points, get lost."

These words were truly merciless, and Jiang Bei immediately cursed, raising his fist to teach the ground crew a lesson. Wei Chengxue quickly hugged the impulsive Jiang Bei, saying, "Brother Bei, don't be impulsive. Hurting someone will get you locked up in solitary confinement."

"Hmph." The man shrank back slightly when Jiang Bei raised his hand. Seeing that the man was under control, he snorted coldly and walked past the two of them.

Jiang Bei was still cursing and swearing, "Don't let me see him again. Next time I'll beat him so badly he'll kneel down and call me daddy."

"Brother Bei, don't be angry," Wei Chengxue advised helplessly. "Besides, he didn't exactly say anything wrong."

Wei Chengxue knew that some superhumans on missions treated ordinary people badly, but as a light-elemental user and an outsider, he could only helplessly watch as the reputation of superhumans deteriorated.

Jiang Bei is just a bit short-tempered, not unreasonable. For example, he only cursed at people, was about to hit them but didn't, and made threats afterward. From these things, you can tell that he was just putting on an act and didn't really want to use violence to deal with that ground crew member. This is a kind of pretense he learned when he grew up in a poor and remote area.

"It was alright when Lieutenant General Jiang was there. He's currently inspecting bases in various provinces and isn't in Beijing. Lieutenant General He just took over Beijing, and quite a few people have been in contact with him before, so he can't keep things under control for now." Jiang Bei had spent more time at the Beijing base than Senior Wei Cheng, so he knew a little more than him.

He Feiquan grew up in the Beijing base and received guidance from many people. Later, he went into seclusion to cultivate and stopped going on missions publicly, but many people in Beijing still had some connection with him.

Those seasoned veterans at the second or third level also know that as long as they don't cross the line, even if they treat ordinary people badly, they won't be punished.

Moreover, most of them treat ordinary people with contempt, but treat the superhumans in the base very well, so some people will naturally remain silent out of consideration for their relationship with them.

"General He is a good man," Wei Chengxue sighed, but a good man is not necessarily suitable to be a leader. If he is too good, a bunch of monsters and demons will take advantage of him.

“Yes. But I still prefer Lieutenant General He to Lieutenant General Jiang,” Jiang Bei said. “He seems like a nice person. To be honest, I’m a little afraid of Lieutenant General Jiang.”

The main reason is that Jiang Bei's family situation is a bit complicated. His father came to teach in their mountain village and ended up staying to have him. Because his father is a male teacher, he felt cold inside after Jiang Zheng's incident and hasn't dared to show his face in recent years, afraid that approaching people would only bring more heartache.

“General He is a good man, but I am a member of the Tongtong Party,” Wei Cheng said expressionlessly.

Jiang Bei looked at his dead fish eyes and gave an awkward laugh, "Hahaha, bro, you're a Tongtong fan, huh?"

Tong Yusheng and He Feiquan always progressed one level at a time. When they were both at level four, Tong Yusheng was always one step ahead of He Feiquan and was highly regarded.

Tong Yusheng is in a really awkward situation right now. Fortunately, after He Feiquan leveled up to level five, all the resources were poured into her. However, she is still stuck at level four and just can't seem to level up to level five.

"Stop laughing, it's giving me goosebumps." Wei Chengxue rubbed his arms and said with a hint of melancholy, "Tongtong has natural leadership skills. If only she could be promoted to level five."

Wei Chengxue had the good fortune to meet Tong Yusheng once and was captivated by her personal charm. From then on, he was willing to live and die for her, and would even bang his head against a wall for her.

Unfortunately, He Feiquan was crushed all the way, but at the finish line, he overtook Tong Yusheng on a bend and entered the level five world. Tong Yusheng was defeated and is currently out of contact.

Tong Yusheng, whom fans believed had disappeared without a trace, is currently organizing the evacuation of ordinary people from Antarctica.

"Have the researchers finished packing?" Tong Yusheng asked, frowning as she looked at the documents.

"The machines have all been packed and loaded onto the plane in advance, and the researchers have also packed their luggage. We expect to depart tonight," the assistant said.

"There's a blizzard the day after tomorrow, so try to return as soon as possible. The environment here is getting worse and worse," Tong Yusheng advised.

The research in Antarctica is a joint effort by multiple countries. In China, apart from the superhumans who come to cultivate, there are only some ordinary researchers who are responsible for studying meteorites and the Antarctic environment. Since a pack of ice wolves came to their post, even Tong Yusheng has been struggling after one of the leaders reached level four.

After the ordinary people leave, these superhumans who cultivate superpowers will have to move to a new location and choose a suitable place as their training ground.

"By the way, I remember there's a level three ice-type among the next batch of ability users who will be coming for further training?" Tong Yusheng suddenly asked.

"Yes, Colonel Hu Lan recommended him. He just got promoted to level three," the assistant replied.

"You're wrong. She's currently the manager of a provincial superhuman base. She should be called Director Hu," Tong Yusheng corrected with a smile.

"Yes." The assistant scratched her cheek, blushing slightly. She had forgotten that Hu Lan should no longer be addressed by her military rank after being transferred from the Dragon Group.

“Pei Hanxing? I remember that’s her name.” Tong Yusheng recalled the information she had seen. She had only glanced at it at the time because she was busy fighting off the Icefield Wolves.

“Yes, his name is Pei Hanxing, and he’s from Hai City. He’s also the adopted son of researcher Shi Juexin and researcher Kong Lin,” the assistant added.

"Their adopted sons..." Tong Yusheng remembered that after she took over the management of the Antarctic expedition team, only these two people were indifferent to her.

As she was recalling the events, her ears were drawn by a wolf's howl. Tong Yusheng frowned, looked at her assistant who was still unaware, and said seriously, "The ice wolves are here. Everyone on alert. Tell them that we'll move out once we get through this. Everyone in the expedition team, stay in your rooms and don't come out to avoid frostbite."

The dire wolves travel in packs and can spray ice mist over a wide area. Researchers had previously been frostbitten by them. The light-elemental ability users stationed there tried to rescue them, but this caused the researchers' blood vessels to burst and they died. The wood-elemental ability users were also helpless. Tong Yusheng could only delay the death of the frostbitten people and urgently arranged for a plane to send them back to Beijing.

"Yes!" the assistant replied.
