ATDIWR Chapter 65

Chapter 65 The Legendary Max-Level Healing Ability User – Is There Any Way…

Mental-type abilities are rare abilities, one in ten thousand. That is to say, among ten thousand Power Users, only one person will awaken a Mental-type ability. Yet, both Little Stone and Little Rose awakened Mental-type abilities.

Before this, both children had also drunk the Spiritual Spring Water, which made Ji An suspect the Spiritual Spring Water.

Ji An already felt that the Spiritual Spring Water was a very magical existence, and now he was almost one hundred percent certain.

If such magical Spiritual Spring Water could find the correct way to upgrade, its effects would be unimaginable.

How exactly should it be upgraded?

Ji An couldn’t help but fall into deep thought, not noticing Gu Jinsheng’s deep gaze directed at him.

The next day, Ji An and Gu Jinsheng went to see his big villa.

Strictly speaking, the house Ji An was currently living in couldn’t really be considered his. At most, it was an employee dormitory building; he only had the right to reside, not the right to buy or sell, but it was a lifelong arrangement.

Now that he had property under his name, Ji An naturally wanted to go see it. If there were no changes needed, Ji An would move in.

The location of the villa was really excellent, surprisingly in the most prosperous central district of the Jing Shi Base. This place was truly an inch of land worth an inch of gold. From here, it was very close whether going to the Command Center or the Research Institute. Going out for a stroll, it was only a few minutes to the most bustling commercial street of the Jing Shi Base.

Not to mention the management of the villa area, the guards at the gate were all Intermediate Power Users.

From a distance, Ji An saw that the villa area was enveloped by a layer of water-blue protective shield, with electric sparks occasionally flashing around it.

The landscaping of the villa was very well done, clearly managed by a dedicated Plant-type ability user. Even in these years of the Apocalypse where green plants were scarce, a circle of fresh flowers was planted around the villa. The flowers were in full bloom, and a gentle breeze brought waves of floral fragrance.

Inside the villa, giant trees that seemed to cover the sky and lush green lawns were faintly visible.

There was an artificial fountain at the main entrance of the villa. Actually, calling it a fountain wasn’t quite accurate; it should be called an artificial lake, only a fountain was built in the artificial lake.

The artificial lake encircled the entire community, flowing past the doorstep of every owner’s home within the community, ensuring that every owner could see the lake water at their doorstep from their villa window.

Rockeries were also built in the artificial lake, and lotus flowers and various aquatic plants were planted in the lake. Occasionally, a few mutated koi about a meter long would leap from the artificial lake, jump over the rockery and onto the fountain, performing a “fish leaps over the dragon gate.”

Ji An and Gu Jinsheng drove to the villa entrance. Ji An thought he would have to show identification, but to his surprise, as soon as he rolled down the window, the security personnel immediately recognized him, “Mr. Ji, hello, welcome home.”

The security personnel smilingly took out a tablet, “Command Center notified us yesterday that you might be moving in soon. This is your personal information provided by the Command Center. Would you like to change or add anything?”

Ji An took the tablet and glanced at it, finding that only the surname “Ji” was filled in the name field of the owner information form. Everything else, including basic information like gender and age, was blank.

Ji An said, “This is fine.”

“Okay.” The security personnel, accustomed to owners keeping their personal information confidential, responded with a smile. He took out an access card from his pocket and handed it to Ji An, “This is the access card for our community. Please keep it safe.

You can choose one of three ways to enter the community in the future. The first is face scan. Although we don’t record facial data in our community, all security personnel are Power Users, and we can accurately record the face of every owner one hundred percent. As long as you show your face clearly to our security personnel, we will immediately open the electric gate for you.

The second way is card swipe. You can swipe the card yourself to enter.

The third way is ability identification. This requires recording ability information. When you return, just inject your ability into the identifier to enter.”

Abilities are generally categorized into a few major types like Water-type or Fire-type, but even within the same Water-type ability, there are differences. Just like genes, the specific energy fluctuation frequency of each person’s ability is different.

While they were talking, Ji An saw a car owner on the left access lane release an ability and hit the identifier from inside the car. The electric gate in front of their car opened, and the car passed smoothly.

“Mr. Ji, when entering or exiting the community, you must go through the main gate. Please do not try to save time by climbing over the wall. Although the protective shield of our villa area is not as overbearing as the Base’s protective shield, where a zombie or Power User would be instantly annihilated if even a single hair touched it. But it is still very powerful; minor injuries lead to severe injuries, and severe injuries can be fatal.”

“I understand.”

“Lastly, this is our property management service card. It has the office phone number of the head of property management and the phone number of each security personnel. The number after the security personnel’s name indicates the villa area he is in charge of. If you need to contact us for anything, you can call the security personnel in charge of your villa area, or you can call the property management reception or other security personnel,” the security personnel said.

“Okay.” Ji An took the business card.

The security personnel asked, “Mr. Ji, may we have your contact information? It would be convenient for us to contact you if anything comes up. Of course, you can rest assured that we will keep your contact number confidential and will absolutely not leak it.”

Ji An was about to leave his contact information when Gu Jinsheng refused, “It’s inconvenient.”

“Okay.” The security personnel didn’t insist at all and turned around to open the gate for them.

Gu Jinsheng explained to Ji An, “The people living in this villa area are all individuals who have made significant contributions to the Base. This contribution isn’t the kind you get from just killing a few zombies, but from executing top-secret missions, etc.

Therefore, their information needs to be kept absolutely confidential, even a phone number cannot be easily leaked.

Including you from now on, don’t casually give out your contact information.

Some owners don’t even leave their real surname with the property management.”

Ji An said, “In that case, my contribution for wiping out a human trafficker’s den should not be enough to live in a community of this level.”

Gu Jinsheng said, “What you relied on to move in wasn’t that, but the nutrient solution. The human trafficker incident was just a public cover for your identity. Otherwise, with the nutrient solution invented there, and you moving into the community here, it would be easy for people to guess your identity. It just so happened that we could use this opportunity of clearing out the human traffickers to give you the villa.”

Ji An and Gu Jinsheng found their villa. As soon as they put the car into the spatial storage, they turned around and saw an acquaintance standing behind them.

“Aunt Dai.” The acquaintance was indeed Gu Jinsheng’s mother, Dai Xin.

“Mom.” Gu Jinsheng called out.

Dai Xin looked at her son, then shifted her gaze to Ji An, smilingly saying, “I came out for a walk and saw from a distance it looked like you two. Turns out it really is.”

Dai Xin looked at the villa keys in Ji An’s hand, her smile deepening, “Little An, you finally moved into this villa.”

“Huh?” Ji An felt as though Dai Xin’s words had a deeper meaning, but he couldn’t quite figure it out.

Dai Xin said, “There’s a stinky boy who, to get closer to someone he likes, traded his big villa for a small three-bedroom apartment for me and my husband. Where could you find such a good deal? Otherwise, with my and Old Gu’s contribution points, we wouldn’t be enough to live here.”

This villa was definitely not somewhere you could live with just a little contribution to the Base. One had to have made huge contributions that were enough to shake or change the fate of the entire Base to live here.

However, in terms of Ji An’s contribution points, they were absolutely among the top in the entire Base’s contribution point ranking. The nutrient solution changed not only the fate of the Jing Shi Base but also the fate of the entire human race.

Ji An looked at Gu Jinsheng and was surprised to see a hint of redness on the tips of Gu Jinsheng’s ears. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

It seemed that everything Dai Xin said was true. Ji An never expected the mature and steady Commander-in-Chief of the Jing Shi Base would do such childish things when pursuing someone.

Ji An withdrew his gaze, a smile in his eyes, “Aunt Dai, would you like to come in and sit for a bit?”

“Okay.”

The interior decoration of the villa was magnificent, of course, with a very luxurious European style, marble panels, and long hanging crystal chandeliers. It’s worth mentioning that the indoor lighting was not only on the ceiling, but also antique European wall lamps hung on the walls on both sides.

Overall, the villa had four floors, three above ground and one basement.

The villa had two yards, the backyard was slightly larger than the front yard and had a decent-sized swimming pool.

The villa rooftop was open, suitable for sunbathing or outdoor barbecues.

Just a few steps from Ji An’s villa was the community’s central garden. The entire community was very large, and security personnel needed to use electric carts when on duty.

Ji An looked around briefly and was very satisfied. No renovations were needed, and he could move in tomorrow.

Gu Jinsheng glanced at Dai Xin, who was looking at the fresh flowers in the front yard, and quietly asked Ji An, “Very satisfied?”

Ji An nodded, “I’ll go back and pack my things, and I’ll move over tomorrow.”

Gu Jinsheng asked, “Then what about me?”

Gu Jinsheng’s voice was still normal, his tone didn’t seem to change much, but Ji An somehow felt a sense of grievance from it. Thinking about what this person had done to live together with him, Ji An was one hundred percent certain he hadn’t misjudged.

“You, ah~~~” Ji An smiled and deliberately dragged out the end of the sound, then said under Gu Jinsheng’s expectant and nervous gaze, “You’re allowed to move in together.”

Ji An saw Gu Jinsheng’s eyes instantly light up like stars, “Then we’ll move in tonight. Anyway, there aren’t many things over there.”

Ji An: “…”

They moved in that night. It must be said that the environment here was really good. After eating the sumptuous meal prepared by Gu Jinsheng that evening, the two sat on the spacious open-air balcony. The evening breeze gently blew, bringing the moisture from the artificial lake. Ji An felt that his headache wasn’t so unbearable anymore.

Before going to bed, Ji An as usual gave Gu Jinsheng a bottle of Spiritual Spring Water. Gu Jinsheng still didn’t ask anything, took the water, took his medicine, and went to sleep.

Rest days are always short, and soon Gu Jinsheng’s month-long holiday was over.

Actually, for a major injury like having one’s ability crippled, a month’s vacation was far from enough; even a year would be too short. But there was no other way, Gu Jinsheng was the Commander-in-Chief of the Base, and even this one month’s holiday was squeezed out forcefully.

Gu Jinsheng became very busy as soon as he returned to work, often not coming home for several days. Ji An was home alone, his head seemed to hurt even more, so he simply went to the laboratory.

The laboratory was always overseen by Wu Youyang. It wasn’t that there was nothing to do just because Ji An wasn’t there; on the contrary, there was a lot to do in the laboratory.

Spatial storage items, nutrient solution, and observation records of those renewable plants and animals, Wu Youyang was so busy that he could only squeeze in time to eat the nutrient solution each day.

“Boss Ji, why did you come?” Wu Youyang said when he saw Ji An, “Boss Ji, your mental state still needs rest, right? I heard that such injuries need at least a year to recover, and many people still have headaches and can’t think clearly even after a year.”

Ji An said, “I have too many things to do here; I can’t rest that long. I’ll just take medicine to cope.”

If he had to wait until his headaches were completely gone before entering the laboratory, he would likely never achieve it in this lifetime.

The post-effects of headaches caused by having one’s ability crippled would last a lifetime. This is currently incurable, even the almighty Healing ability user has no way.

Ji An asked, “How are my little fellows being raised? And have other renewable plants and animals been sent over?”

“They are all very healthy. I’ve also done several sets of observation experiments.” Wu Youyang answered Ji An while secretly sending messages to Gu Jinsheng. His words, Boss Ji wouldn’t listen to, but Commander-in-Chief Gu definitely had a way to make his boss obediently go back to recuperate.

Wu Youyang’s secretive messaging was too obvious. Ji An rubbed his head and said, “You don’t need to send messages to Jinsheng. He’s already back at work himself, so what right does he have to tell me off?”

Wu Youyang awkwardly put his phone away, “Boss Ji, you misunderstood. I wasn’t sending a message to Commander-in-Chief Gu to report on you…”

The face-slap came as fast as a tornado. Before Wu Youyang finished speaking, Gu Jinsheng’s call came through.

Ji An looked at the flashing name on his phone screen and cast a meaningful glance at Wu Youyang.

Wu Youyang, holding onto the principle that if he wasn’t embarrassed, others would be, stubbornly endured.

“Hello, Jinsheng.”

“You went to the laboratory?” Gu Jinsheng said, “Wu Youyang just sent me a message.”

“Oh really?” Ji An looked at Wu Youyang with a half-smile, “But Wu Youyang said he didn’t send you a message.”

Gu Jinsheng was silent, then said, “Come to the Command Center now. M Country’s Tier 7 Healing ability user has arrived.”

Ji An’s eyes immediately sparkled with light brighter than stars.

The legendary Tier 7 Healing ability user could heal flesh and bone and revive the dead. He wondered if there was any way to restore his Mental-type ability?

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”
