Chapter 115 The little thing has gained a lot of weight.
Because the final task given by Tianqing to Heci is to stop the people with gene locks from continuing to produce people with super powers, and the final task given by Xuansang to Shousui is to find the strongest R virus matrix and eliminate it.
So they discussed in the living room for a while, and finally decided to go to the Gene Lock Research Headquarters in City Z to stop them from spreading the R virus, and to investigate who is the most likely carrier of the strongest R virus mother.
Given the difficulty of the final task, the two hosts are naturally not capable of it at the moment. Therefore, during this period, in order to improve the hosts' strength, the two system elders will gradually give various tasks to train the hosts' abilities in all aspects and give corresponding rewards after completion.
It rained heavily for a week, so the people had to stay in the hut for a while. He Ci also took the opportunity to recover from his injuries. The skin injuries on his body were not serious, but his fractured right hand needed a few more days to heal.
After another two days, the rain finally stopped. The group packed up and decided to set off for their next destination.
He Ci had already planned the route, and taking the water route would allow him to reach Shucheng in the shortest time. Tianqing had previously detected that there were people with special abilities in Shucheng, so he gave He Ci a mission to go to Shucheng to check the situation.
The ability to copy superpowers given by Tianqing to the host has two prerequisites. The first is to choose to rescue the other party. Under the system rules, this rescue will be unilaterally exchanged for the other party's superpowers. The second is to choose to defeat the other party and win the other party's superpowers. Under the system rules, you can copy the other party's superpowers for your own use.
When going to Shucheng, He Ci will decide based on the situation. If the opponent is from Amber in City B, or is a very evil person, he will not show mercy and will choose one of the two to win the opponent's supernatural power.
There were a few yachts moored at the dock by the river, some of them were burnt black and in tatters, while others had been washed clean of the black blood stains on their hulls by the heavy rain, leaving only a few carcasses that had been gnawed by crows and were left hanging on the hulls like skeletons.
He Ci was walking towards one of the small sailboats at the berth that looked like it could still sail, but Shousui had already run to the pier, stepped onto the gangway and ran onto a speedboat.
"Let's sit in this!" He turned around excitedly and said to Chi Yu and others behind him.
Seeing this, He Ci couldn't help but stop and shout to him across the river, "Can you drive? You keep asking to sit on that."
Shousui has never driven a speedboat before, otherwise he wouldn't have liked this luxurious-looking speedboat so much the first time he saw it. This speedboat looks like a small or medium-sized yacht, like a private custom model. He wants the spaciousness and comfort of a yacht and the speed of a speedboat.
"What's so difficult about this? Isn't it almost the same as driving a car?" Seeing He Ci teasing him, Shousui retorted with disdain.
"This one looks pretty good." Mo Yuankai also got on the speedboat where Shousui was.
"Xiaochen, come up quickly!" Shousui waved to Shouchen on the pier on the shore.
When the little boy saw that he was specially summoned by his master, his round little face was full of joy and he happily jumped onto the speedboat where his master was.
"The three of us are going to ride on this, what about you two?" Shousui looked at He Ci and Chi Yu who were still on the pier, trying to use the advantage of numbers to make the minority obey the majority.
"Can this be driven?" Chi Yu asked with a questioning look on his face. He was quite casual and only concerned about whether the speedboat could take them to their destination safely.
Seeing that they had all gone on board, He Ci had no choice but to follow them on the speedboat.
Seeing this, Shousui smiled triumphantly. He walked into the main control room and began to tinker with it in an orderly manner.
It’s just that, after trying for a long time, I still couldn’t open it.
"Could this speedboat be broken?" Seeing that it wouldn't start, Shousui frowned and was about to check if there was anything wrong with the outboard four-stroke engine.
"Can't it be opened?" Chi Yu on the deck outside asked him.
He Ci walked into the cockpit and checked the fuel tank. After finally finding out that it was a wiring problem, he looked up and called back Shou Sui, "Don't bother with it. It's a fuel gauge wiring problem."
As he was speaking, the man had already cut off the power and started connecting the wires.
When Shousui returned from the stern half-believingly, He Ci had already solved the problem and bought engine oil from the system mall to fill up the tank.
When the man successfully started the speedboat engine, Chao Heci, who had been keeping his guard up, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Good guy, you are a very capable person."
“No, why do I feel like you know everything?” Shousui looked at He Ci with admiration. Is this the all-round link in the protagonist’s halo law?
The hacker's skills in stealing Amber's computer secrets were not as good as Tianqing's, but they were much better than them. And this time, the one who could find the problem so quickly and solve it in the shortest time must have a certain understanding of this field.
"I just came into contact with him." He Ci washed his hands in a plastic bucket filled with river water. Seeing Shou Sui looking at him, the man was silent for a moment before continuing, "Before the zombie virus spread, my father ran a yacht company."
After hearing the latter part, Shousui was shocked, "Your family... sells yachts?"
"Ah."
Seeing He Ci nod, Shou Sui was stunned with surprise, "Damn! So, you are actually a rich second generation?"
Aren’t all the protagonists in the apocalypse born in orphanages? I always thought that He Ci was a disaster-type protagonist with a tragic and poor life in the original text! And isn’t it said that the rich rely on technology and the poor rely on mutation? Has this law of cool writing been changed?
Shousui searched his memory, trying to find out what the family background of the male protagonist in the original text he had read was like. But no matter how long he recalled, he still couldn't remember anything. He had no impression at all.
He Ci frowned, he didn't like that word.
The speedboat had just started and had not gone far when a sharp and piercing cry was heard from the pier on the shore.
Shousui looked in the direction of the sound, only to see his fierce pet, the civet cat Xiao Hei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, running onto the pier at some point. Upon seeing Shousui's receding figure, Xiao Hei anxiously scratched and dug with his claws, jumping around on the spot, as if he also wanted to get on the speedboat and run away with his master.
When they first arrived at the B City Base, because Xiao Hei was too dangerous to be brought into the city, Shousui had to separate from his little pet.
He escaped from the base in City B. Maybe Xiao Hei didn't go far, so he smelled his scent and followed his trail and came back.
After all, it was his first pet beast, so Shousui wanted to turn around and go back to pick up Xiao Hei. However, he didn't expect that Xiao Hei would jump into the water and swim towards their speedboat.
"Hey, you little thing, are you still reluctant to leave?"
As soon as Xiao Hei climbed onto the hull and jumped onto the deck, he rushed towards Shou Sui and climbed onto his shoulder. Shou Sui grabbed Xiao Hei, who had grown twice as big as he had been in the past few days, from his shoulder and said, "Don't you know how fat you are? Don't sit on my shoulders anymore, it's too heavy."
