I’m not blind. You’re always strong, but tonight… you look like you’re carrying something heavy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai gave a soft laugh and took the bar from him. “Thanks, Zhi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng bit into the energy bar, nodding in approval. “Not bad. I might survive after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang Zhi plopped down on the floor in front of them, cross-legged. “So… you’re going after one of the Devils tomorrow night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai and Qin Feng both stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know about the devils?” Su Jiyai was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Till now, she thought that she was the only person who knew about the presence of devils and their pawn and the main Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know. Madam Queen used to frequently mention them.” Qiang Zhi said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know anything else about the devils?” Su Jiyai asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t have much hope, there was no harm in trying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang Zhi stared at Su Jiyai’s hopeful eyes and said everything that he knew truthfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As far as I know, the main Devil can’t be in China all the time. It can only contact the Devils and their pawns for a specific period of time. Maybe 2 hours. After 2 hours, he needs to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai exchanged a look with Qin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had said the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So now can you tell me if you are after the devils?” Qiang Zhi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai sighed. “You really do hear everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you,” Qiang Zhi said, smug. “So, which one are you going after?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I haven’t decided yet,” Su Jiyai replied, peeling the wrapper off the bar. “But it won’t be someone easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You never pick easily.” Qiang Zhi shook his head. “Why not take Qin Feng with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I said so,” Su Jiyai said simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not a reason!” he argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng chuckled. “Actually, from her, it kind of is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang Zhi huffed again and muttered, “Stubborn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard that,” Su Jiyai said without looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” he said, not backing down. “I’m just saying… you two are stronger together. Isn’t that what everyone says? ‘Teamwork makes the dream work,’ or whatever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng grinned. “I like this kid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai smiled faintly, chewing the last bit of the energy bar. “Yeah, he’s growing on me too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang Zhi leaned back against the wall and yawned. “Okay, I’m going back to sleep now. But if anything else explodes in the middle of the night, I expect a full explanation in the morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deal,” Su Jiyai said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang Zhi stood up and started walking away, but paused at the hallway entrance. He turned and looked at them both seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Su Jiyai and Qin Feng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodnight,” he said, before disappearing into his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence returned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng leaned his head back against the couch and stared at the ceiling. “He’s growing fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since all the meetings had concluded, Su Jiyai departed with Qin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the alliance members tried to find Admiral Ru, but for some reason, they couldn’t find him. In the end, they reached a conclusion that maybe Admiral Ru had reached a breakthrough and had gone into seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai sat in the passenger seat, the low hum of the car vibrating through her boots. As they left the last alliance checkpoint, she let out a quiet breath and tapped the screen on her wristwatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The digital date blinked into focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small red dot hovered just above the date.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System Return: 4 Days Remaining\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curled into an excited grin. Four more days. Just four. Then… I can finally stop hiding my face from Qin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at him as he drove. He looked relaxed, one arm casually resting on the steering wheel, his sharp eyes focused on the road ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought about how many secrets she had kept from him. Not just about her face, but everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system, her real identity, the true depth of her powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four more days, she told herself again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something on your mind?” Qin Feng asked without looking at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm? Nah.” Su Jiyai quickly smiled. “Just… happy to go home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a brow. “You sure? You look like you just won the lottery or something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She laughed. “Maybe I did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, Qiang Zhi pressed his face to the window like an excited puppy. “Wait… is that your base?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng smirked. “You’ll know when we’re there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later, the car turned onto a wide metal road. Towering walls made of sleek metallic-blue alloy loomed ahead. They shimmered with arcs of harmless electricity, pulsing like veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the base stood tall—two massive gates fitted with scanners and motion detectors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa,” Qiang Zhi breathed. “That wall… It’s like lightning’s trapped inside it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached the gate, long robotic arms emerged from the side structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One scanned the vehicle’s outer shell; another moved across the windshield, scanning the passengers inside. A soft beep echoed, followed by a soothing AI voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Identification confirmed. Welcome back, Boss Su. Access granted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gates split open with a quiet hiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the car rolled inside, Qiang Zhi’s mouth fell open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What… what is this place?” he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inside of the base looked like a city hidden in paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature was mild—just cool enough for comfort with a fresh breeze dancing through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lush greenery lined the clean pathways. Trees swayed gently while glowing flowers bloomed along the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People strolled about wearing colorful, clean clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter echoed in the air. Children chased drones that projected rainbow butterflies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small markets lined the streets with food, gadgets, clothes, and tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some buildings reached three or four stories high, made of transparent material that sparkled like diamonds in the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s… It’s like heaven,” Qiang Zhi whispered again, eyes wide. “You live here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai smiled. “Yup. Welcome to Hope Base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng chuckled. “Told you she wasn’t the average wanderer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang Zhi leaned forward between their seats. “This is insane! You’ve got real trees! And clean air! Is that guy selling popcorn?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai laughed. “Yes. And the one next to him is selling ice cream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice cream,” he echoed like he was hearing it for the first time. “I didn’t even know people still made ice cream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they parked near one of the central buildings, several people waved at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Su, you’re finally back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Su, it’s been so long! Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We were worried, Boss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them squinted and pointed. “Who’s the little guy with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group pressed closer, Qiang Zhi instinctively stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His small hands gripped the back of Su Jiyai’s coat tightly. His body trembled, and he ducked behind her like a nervous kitten, peeking out just barely from behind her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai felt his grip and looked down. Her heart clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd noticed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” a woman said, tilting her head. “Why’s he hiding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does he think we’ll hurt him?” someone else muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third voice piped up, sounding a little annoyed. “He’s not even saying hi! We’re just being friendly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he looking down on us or what?” a tall man frowned. “Acting all shy like we’re the bad guys.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s jaw tightened. She gently stepped to the side and placed a firm hand on Qiang Zhi’s head. “Enough,” she said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t enough to stop the quiet grumbling from some of the people in the crowd. Their smiles faltered, replaced by confused or amused expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when Qin Feng stepped forward, raising a hand. His voice was calm but strong enough to silence the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone. Calm down.” He glanced back at Qiang Zhi, who was still half-hiding. “This kid isn’t ignoring you. He’s scared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scared?” a man asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Qin Feng nodded. “Qiang Zhi was kidnapped—human-trafficked into one of the illegal experimental institutes. The same kind we’ve been trying to destroy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hush fell over the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng continued, voice steady but heavy. “They experimented on him. He was locked up, tortured, treated like less than a person. So yeah, crowds? Loud voices? Strangers? That’s a lot for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers rippled through the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my god…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those damn institutes…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How young is he? That’s awful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai’s hand slid down to Qiang Zhi’s shoulder. She gave it a light squeeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, he is my biological brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—” a woman near the front blinked. “Boss Su’s… little brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s so small,” someone whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And cute…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire mood shifted. Where once there had been suspicion or misunderstanding, now there was warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aww… that makes sense now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder Boss Su looked so protective of him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s got her eyes, kinda…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More people stepped closer, but this time with gentle smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, buddy,” one man knelt down a bit. “You want some candy? My daughter says it’s the good kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vendor nearby called out, “Kid! Want some ice cream? First one’s free!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c921ba6ec7b130ddff5f86c2e18d77efd9778a48f518f64ddd1fd8618777ef5","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-491","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-489",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
