2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

"My glasses..." Yan Muyun bent down and picked up a dark, deformed metal frame from the ground, with a pained expression on his face: "This is the first gift my brother gave me after I woke up."

After all, this smart glasses is an ordinary civilian device, unlike the equipment of the Special Branch, which is specially designed for combat. He accidentally dropped it during the previous fight and was completely destroyed by the explosion.

"There's no one here, not even a hair." Jun Qianmian stood in the ruins of the street not far away and shouted back.

At this time, he looked extremely embarrassed, covered in smelly gray-green mucus, his upper body was naked, and his lower body trousers were in tatters, which could hardly guarantee that he would not be detained for public indecency.

"It's impossible... I remember that I should have smashed that man's face in the end..." Yan Muyun had recovered a little at this time and did not need to be supported by others, but his voice was still a little bit... weak.

After hearing what he said, Jun Qianmian turned around and took a few more glances, then turned back and shrugged: "It's true, there is nothing here, no short men, clean, not even a hair."

Yan Muyun frowned and walked forward, looking towards the place where the short man fell to the ground in his memory. He expected to see at least some pieces of flesh, blood, or broken teeth, but there was nothing as far as he could see, only gravel and dust.

Half of the opponent's face was broken. Logically speaking, even if he escaped without death, it would be impossible to clean up all the traces in such a short period of time.

"Describe that guy's appearance in more detail, and I'll check it out then." Jun Qianmian came over.

Yan Muyun pinched his nose and said in a loud voice, "Hello."

Jun Qianmian: "..."

"It's not that I dislike you, but from an objective point of view, you do stink." Yan Muyun said seriously.

After getting rid of the parasitic beast, his tense mood relaxed a lot, and he regained a little of his previous appearance.

"The man is about 1.5 meters tall, slightly fat, with a mustache and ugly eyebrows..." Yan Muyun described the man's appearance in detail.

Jun Qianmian frowned and shook his head after hearing this: "I have no impression at all, what about you?"

The last question he asked was Zhang Xixue, who was standing not far away. The latter also shook his head, indicating that he had never seen a similar person before.

"By the way, have you been so strong from the beginning?" Yan Muyun suddenly asked.

"Huh?" The change of topic was a bit abrupt, and Jun Qianmian narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

"Your abilities."

"What happened to my powers?"

"Is it so strong from the beginning? It can easily kill the mature mutant." Yan Muyun's eyes flashed faintly.

After the incident just now, he realized that his powers were not as reliable as he thought. If he could maintain the silver cage and at the same time create a shield with no blind spots to protect himself, then the short man would not be able to make any waves from the beginning.

He had never hoped that his powers would become more powerful than at this moment.

Jun Qianmian thought for a while and said, "No, at first I could only change the length and thickness of my limbs and slightly change my appearance. It was a bit difficult to even grow a few centimeters taller."

"And now you can easily transform into any... shape." Yan Muyun swallowed, his face looking a little weird.

Jun Qianmian raised three fingers: "Thirty years. A rough estimate shows that I have awakened this ability for thirty years. During this time, my ability has of course continued to improve."

"I've been awakened for a long time, but I feel... my powers haven't changed much compared to before." Yan Muyun said with some bitterness.

"Really?" Jun Qianmian raised his eyebrows: "Maybe you don't use enough."

"Use less?"

"Yes, if you think of the power itself as a 'reservoir', as time goes by, the water in the reservoir will continue to increase. Take yourself as an example, you may just start to maintain a piece of... about this size of silver The barrier can only last for 1 minute at most. But when there is more water in the 'reservoir', you may be able to easily maintain it for 10 minutes or even longer." Jun Qianmian explained while gesticulating.

Yan Muyun thought for a while, nodded and said, "When I was tested at the Superpower Registration Center, the experimenter did mention that my superpower lasted for an unusually long time."

"After all, your 'reservoir' has been accumulated for thirty years. It would be strange if it doesn't last." Jun Qianmian said with a grin.

It can be seen that Zhang Feiyu must have told him something, so he is aware of what happened between the two people and Yan Muyun's experience.

Yan Muyun felt that something was wrong with what the other party said. He glanced at Zhang Xixue who was standing next to him, pretended not to notice anything, and continued the topic: "If you take it as a benchmark, I feel that my powers are not as good as at this stage. A bit...weak."

"Of course, because I have often used my powers in the past thirty years, but you have basically never used them." Jun Qianmian spread his hands and said as if it was a matter of course:

"Think of the upper limit of the superpower as a 'reservoir', then the power that the superpower can exert is a 'water channel'. The water channel needs to be continuously deepened and widened in order to guide more water in a short period of time. Theoretically speaking, if If my 'drainage' is a deep ditch dug with a shovel, your 'drainage' is at most a shallow mark made by a child with a wooden stick."

Yan Muyun was not stupid. He easily understood what he meant and nodded thoughtfully: "Thank you."

Jun Qianmian curled his lips: "There's nothing to thank you for. This is common sense among people with powers. I wonder why you don't know."

"Common sense..." Yan Muyun smiled bitterly.

Maybe it's just because it's common sense that no one has mentioned it to me for so long.

Although he joined the Special Branch Bureau, the Bureau obviously had no intention of letting him participate in any operations at the beginning. During the training period, the interns basically learned about the behavioral norms, the habits and weaknesses of various alien species, and other theoretical content. They rarely arranged actual combat-related training and taught them how to exercise and improve their abilities.

But think about it, the Special Branch Bureau is not a training institution after all. In the eyes of Bureau Sun and Captain Wei, they will have plenty of time to learn relevant knowledge after entering Chenjing University.

After finally thanking Jun Qianmian, Yan Muyun turned and walked towards the girl next to him and said, "Um...can you lend me your motorcycle?"

"Why?" Zhang Xixue blinked.

Yan Muyun smiled bitterly and said, "I...although it may feel like I am overestimating my abilities when I say this, I am worried about my brother's safety and want to help."

It does sound funny that an intern from the Special Branch is worried about the safety of the deputy director of the General Bureau.

However, Zhang Xixue didn't say anything after hearing this. She just nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Yan Muyun waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, no, I can go by myself, it's very dangerous there..."

"I'll take you there, or you can just walk over." Zhang Xixue pursed her lips and smiled.

Yan Muyun had a headache. He looked around and saw only burning flames and dilapidated streets. In this case, it was impossible to find other means of transportation, let alone public transportation or taxis.

As if aware of the change in the other person's eyes, Zhang Xixue tilted her head slightly and said in a subtle tone: "What, are you planning to rob me?"

Yan Muyun's mouth twitched and he did not answer. Instead, he turned back and glanced at Jun Qianmian behind him.

I didn't expect this guy to look very interested, grinning and said: "If you want to steal it, I will never take action. You two have a fair 1v1 duel."

The other party's response did not make Yan Muyun feel much relieved. Thinking back to the fight last night, he felt a bit toothache. In his heyday, I couldn't do anything to Zhang Xixue, but now my physical condition is still so bad...

Wait, that time was at night, but now it's daytime, maybe I really have a chance?

He raised his head and met the girl's dark eyes.

The next second, the pair of eyes curved slightly: "Are you sure?"

Yan Muyun felt helpless, licked his lips, straightened his back, and the expression on his face became serious: "Xixue."

"Huh?" His momentum suddenly changed, and Zhang Xixue was caught off guard and panicked a little.

"I'm serious. The situation this time is really dangerous." Yan Muyun completely restrained his usual gentleness and said in a deep voice: "My brother... No, the deputy director of the Special Branch, what he is facing now is The king-level alien species is about to arrive. In addition to the alien species, there are probably unknown forces that are watching him. The area there is really dangerous, and I don’t want you to go."

However, Zhang Xixue's expression was very calm: "If it is really that dangerous, I don't want you to go. You should trust the deputy director and other commissioners of the Special Branch."

"I..." Yan Muyun hesitated, but in the end he did not say that his brother's fate had been determined to some extent.

He gritted his teeth and tried to persuade the other person from another angle: "I am his brother. I have to go. There is no need for you to follow."

"But I..." Zhang Xixue's voice was a little high, but she stopped abruptly after saying two words.

After a few seconds of silence, her voice was a little soft: "I am a police officer."

Yan Muyun became a little impatient. He bypassed the other party and walked straight towards the motorcycle parked in the distance.

"You can't activate it without my biometric authentication." A girl's voice came from behind.

Yan Muyun paused, but did not look back: "Sorry to trouble you, thank you."

"I also need to go..."

Yan Muyun took a deep breath, turned around and was about to say something, when he heard the other person continue: "Otherwise I will tell my dad that you touched my butt last night."

Yan Muyun: "?"

Zhang Xixue's face was a little red, but her expression was very serious and she repeated: "You touched the buttocks of your high school classmate's daughter."

The corners of Yan Muyun's eyes twitched twice. He never expected that the other party would suddenly say this at this time. The original anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he opened his mouth for a long time not knowing what to say.

Jun Qianmian's eyes widened, his eyes kept wandering between the two of them, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Pfft..." Zhang Xixue suddenly laughed, waved her hands and said, "I just want to lighten the atmosphere."

"Seriously." She stepped forward and her expression returned to seriousness: "You are in a bad state now. It will be very troublesome if you encounter another alien species on the road. With me following you, we can take care of each other. Send you to Once the place is set, I can leave immediately.”

This was considered a better plan. Yan Muyun only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The two of them sat astride the motorcycle one after another. However, just as Zhang Xixue was about to start the car, an unharmonious voice came from beside him: "What about me?"

Zhang Xixue said expressionlessly: "There is no place left."

Jun Qianmian stood not far away with his hands spread out: "I promised your father that I would protect you."

"I have the ability to protect myself, thank you, now you can do whatever you want."

After saying these words, the motorcycle engine started and rushed out with a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Lao Zhang's daughter has a worse temper than him." Jun Qianmian sighed.

"Stab... creak..." A creepy sound of muscle tearing sounded. His figure grew tens of centimeters out of thin air, and the muscles in his legs expanded several times compared to their original size, and their shape became extremely... weird.

Jun Qianmian didn't see any movement. His figure was already flying into the air, like a grasshopper in the field.

...

"By the way, did I really touch your butt last night?"

"No."

"That's good..."

"To be precise, it was a very hard slap."

"Um???"

"At the moment when the power went out, you stood up suddenly. I accidentally broke your arm, and you hit me... on the butt with a 'snap'."

Yan Muyun thought about it carefully and then closed his mouth tightly.
