Proof of Ren Anhua’s Identity

Once they entered the city, no one would know how many people he had brought or what they were here to do.

The soldier’s inspection was quite thorough, but he couldn’t have imagined that the interior of this vehicle was anchored with a subspace much larger than the vehicle itself.

During Lu Shanshui’s negotiation, Ren Anhua continued to endure the scorching gazes from all around.

She never thought she would face such a predicament after becoming a girl.

But she didn’t want to be like a typical girl scolding perverts and telling everyone around to behave.

A gentleman is open and poised.

Wouldn’t doing such an unnecessary thing make her seem even more like a shy, delicate girl?

Ren Anhua struggled in a dilemma, feeling extremely awkward.

A loud honk broke her awkwardness.

“Hey, car in front, get out of the way!”

On the road into the city, a team of cars leaving the city came rushing over.

The team was led by an imposing heavy truck, followed by two pickups with machine guns mounted on them, and three weather-beaten off-road vehicles.

Lu Shanshui’s small Iveco RV looked like a child’s toy in front of them.

“It’s the Red Blade Team. They’re going out through the entrance again.”

“So what? They’re so strong, even the military has to give them some face. Who would dare to stop them from using an entrance?”

Being told to get out of the way was already annoying enough for Ren Anhua.

Hearing it was the Red Blade Team made her even more annoyed.

Ren Anhua knew this team.

The team’s leader was named Song Zhiyang, and his ability was High-Temperature Cutting, which allowed his weapon to possess extremely high temperatures while maintaining great sharpness.

Perhaps because their abilities overlapped, Song Zhiyang had always been at odds with Ren Anhua.

Both of them felt they were the representative of fire-type abilities, and Song Zhiyang had an exceptionally fiery temper and often caused trouble for Ren Anhua.

“Did you bring your brain when you left the house? Can’t you tell the difference between the entrance and exit roads?” Ren Anhua shouted at the convoy.

Hearing this, Lu Shanshui instantly switched to spectator mode.

The person who had shouted from the convoy only then noticed Ren Anhua and immediately jumped down from the vehicle.

“Yo, what little sister has such a bad temper? Dressed like that, want to come up to the car and play with your big brothers?”

A tall man in his twenties, with an air of self-important roguishness, walked towards Ren Anhua.

Ren Anhua admitted that, at times, women were indeed not suitable for negotiations, especially in this apocalyptic era.

The people around would not label a man as shameful for a few words of sexual harassment.

Or rather, men in this era didn’t mind such a label; they even considered it a sign of being a casanova.

If she wanted to maintain a good leader image, her current appearance didn’t give her any advantage in a verbal battle.

So, Ren Anhua chose to act directly.

Watching the cannon fodder lackey walking towards her while spouting trash talk, Ren Anhua directly activated her ability, imbuing her right hand with high temperature, and with great force, grabbed the other party by the collar and slammed him to the ground.

She had originally wanted to slam his face directly into the ground, but she awkwardly discovered that she couldn’t reach.

She changed her move from a push to a grab mid-motion, but fortunately, her imposing manner was still intact.

The burn on his chest made the lackey scream in pain, but her right hand, pulsing with scorching blood, held him down on the ground, unable to move.

Ren Anhua had no intention of taking his life.

She just wanted to display her power to reveal her identity.

In the past, after doing this, the surroundings would often become much quieter, even when encountering a strong team like the Red Blade Team—Song Zhiyang was not confident he could defeat Ren Anhua.

But this time, it was completely different.

Song Zhiyang didn’t even appear.

Dozens of gun muzzles from the Red Blade Team were aimed at Ren Anhua.

Her actions had no deterrent effect at all.

“Are you f*cking blind? I’m Ren Anhua! You dare to move again, try me?”

Of course, Ren Anhua knew her appearance was far from her past self, but her ability wouldn’t lie.

Did they really think there could be a second person with such a powerful ability as hers?

For an Awakened of Ren Anhua’s level, especially with his domineering ability attribute, he was no longer afraid of ordinary bullets.

However, releasing her ability to defend against bullets meant her clothes would be gone.

If possible, she didn’t want to do such a thing in front of so many people.

And she didn’t want to face the terrifying Bai Rui again.

Heaven knows what Bai Rui would make her wear if she burned another set of clothes.

Faced with this stalemate, unexpectedly, the person who came to her rescue was the young man in the military uniform.

“So you’re an Awakened, miss. Since you’re not an ordinary person, it’s necessary for you to come in and register,” the young man in uniform walked directly between the two parties, seemingly without any fear.

“Xiao Wan, you’re disrespecting me,” a deep and low male voice came from the convoy.

“How would I dare to disrespect you, Brother Song? It’s just that Commander Peng has given an order that all Awakened must register. I’m just following the rules.”

The uniformed man smiled and said something meaningless.

To Ren Anhua’s surprise, that guy Song Zhiyang actually backed down just like that.

Could a gatekeeper soldier have more face than her?

Ren Anhua was thus dazedly pulled along with Lu Shanshui into the registration office next to the city gate.

A spirited old man with glasses asked, holding a pen.

“Name, gender, age, ability.”

“Ren Anhua, male, 25 years old, ability is high temperature.”

Ren Anhua paused, “The intensity level should be level three. The kind that can make a person go from existing to not existing in a second.”

The old man put down his pen and stared intently at the sukumizu loli in front of him.

“Her name is Lu Xiao An. She’s my sister. She just turned eighteen yesterday. Her ability is Body Activation, and she can burst out with great strength in a short period of time,” Lu Shanshui quickly covered for her.

That bastard Lu Shanshui had definitely been listening to those women’s brainwashing plan in the back!

Seeing that Ren Anhua seemed to have something to say, Lu Shanshui whispered in her ear, “Aren’t you the leader of the East Suburbs? Think about how you look now. Isn’t it embarrassing to say you’re Ren Anhua? After you change back, everyone who sees you will say, ‘Look at that guy, he used to be a little loli who walked the streets in a sukumizu.'”

Ren Anhua thought about it and had no choice but to give up.

“Her? Eighteen?”

The uniformed man was clearly skeptical about Ren Anhua’s age.

“Yes, she just looks young, but she’s already eighteen, so there’s no problem.”

Ren Anhua felt this statement was a bit strange.

What did “no problem” mean?

“And you?”

“My name is Lu Shanshui, twenty-one years old, just an ordinary person,” Lu Shanshui continued, “but I have some rudimentary knowledge of swordsmanship.”

Ren Anhua just watched as Lu Shanshui postured with a straight face.

“Mm, okay, ordinary people don’t need to register. You can enter the city.”

The old man put away his pen.

Watching the departing “Lu siblings,” the old man asked the uniformed man beside him.

“She said she was Ren Anhua. What do you think, Xiao Wan?”

“I think there’s an eighty percent chance it’s true.”

“Oh? You seem to believe this little girl quite a bit. You think Ren Anhua can look like this?”

“Of course not, but in this day and age, who can say for sure? There are all kinds of abilities. It’s possible he evolved some ability that caused a mutation, or someone used some ability on him to turn him like this,” the uniformed man named Xiao Wan guessed.

“Another very important point is that although there are many ability users and some abilities overlap, two completely identical abilities have not yet appeared. The ability that girl displayed just now is exactly the same as the description of Ren Anhua’s ability that I’ve heard. Excluding possible discrepancies from verbal descriptions, that’s still about a sixty percent certainty.”

“Moreover, I know a lot about Ren Anhua because the military has been paying close attention to him. He cares a great deal about his ability. Perhaps it’s a distortion from his life of survival in the apocalypse, but he almost believes his ability represents him more than his person. This trait can be seen in his usual style of doing things. If he encountered something that turned him into this, it’s quite possible he would do something stupid like revealing his ability to prove his identity.”

“A very good analysis,” the old man nodded in affirmation and turned to look at the uniformed man.

“Learned that from San Yan?”

“Yes, Zhao Sanyan is Ren Anhua’s trusted friend. After recruiting him, I learned a lot about Ren Anhua from him. And he himself is quite strong. Even if it weren’t for Ren Anhua, recruiting Zhao Sanyan was a very good choice.”

“Mm, you’re right. As the captain of a special operations team, you need to have this kind of ability. Keep up the good work.”
The old commander put down his pen and stood up.

“This is the most difficult period of the apocalypse. Every Awakened is our precious asset. Ren Anhua’s ability has great potential and a huge future. We must recruit him.”

“But Commander Peng, since you want me to be the special operations captain, why make me stand guard at the gate here? What’s the use of guarding this gate?”

“What do you mean it’s useless? Didn’t you just meet Ren Anhua and even befriend him?”

“That’s only an eighty percent chance…”

“But from your analysis, I think there’s a hundred percent chance,” Commander Peng smiled.

“And besides, didn’t I come to be the registrar?”

“You being the registrar is just causing trouble. There are so many things in the army that need your attention…”

“Oh, you said it. Then I’ll be leaving.”

Xiao Wan silently watched Commander Peng’s departing back and suddenly felt a wave of helplessness.

The fact that Pingdingshan could establish a firm foothold was, it had to be said, half thanks to Commander Peng.

He had completely abandoned the stubborn ideas of the older generation and directly placed heavy importance on the emerging Awakened.

The special teams he formed displayed great special operations capabilities.

Many zombie horde attacks were repelled by relying on the special operations teams to carry out decapitation strikes, cutting off the source of the horde’s attacks.

However, Commander Peng himself was just an ordinary person.

Xiao Wan often thought, what a sad thing it was that such powerful abilities would not choose a worthy master.

But according to the information he had, perhaps he could change Commander Peng’s situation, as long as he could get that thing…

Commander Peng had extraordinary wisdom and a flexible mind.

It was too much of a pity for him not to have a powerful ability.

People like Commander Peng were the ones who could truly lead humanity out of its current predicament, not those selfish, so-called Awakened teams that fought for themselves.

But there were some of Commander Peng’s actions that he really couldn’t understand.

He sighed and went back to guarding the gate.
