Afterlife Department

Chapter 447 – Name

Although the Rolling Thunder Team were shocked, including Hu Feng and Wen Yan, but they immediately recovered from it and felt that they are very lucky to meet, and later become comrades, with these four OP 'people'.

"Hello! I'm Qi Ning! I'm Qi Ming's younger sister!" Qi Ning was the first to introduce herself to Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi. "I'm a level two healer!" she said.

"I'm Qi Ying, Qi Ning's younger twin brother." Qi Ying spoke. "I'm a level two water-type ability user." He said.

"I'm Tang Xiu. I don't have any ability, but I'm very fierce!" Tang Xiu said. "I'm stronger than them!" she said and pointed to Wu Heng and Mu Qi.

"Tang-jie, please don't embarrass us." Wu Heng said and scratched his head. "I'm Wu Heng! Nice to meet you!" he said and smiled.

"Mu Qi. I'm just an average person." Mu Qi spoke.

"I'm Zuo Li! A level two earth-type!" Zuo Li said and grinned.

"Lin An! Metal type!" Lin An looked at Jin Wu. 

Jin Wu nodded at him. "Nice to meet you." He spoke. 

"A pleasure to meet you all!" Mo Shi grinned as he waved his hand at them. 

"You're amazing! We don't have a spatial ability user!" the Rolling Thunder Team said. "And four of you!" they added.

Qi Ming's expression fell and he looked at Hu Feng, looking for comfort.

"Bear with it. At least it was you who found them and not the other base." Hu Feng told him.

Yi Bing and Huo Ling heard them. "'the other base'?" Huo Ling turned to them.

"Yes. There are also other bases aside from ours." Qi Ming spoke. "The place where I found the four of you is in the middle of our base and the nearest base." He explained.

"Ah! Those nasty, arrogant bastards!" Qi Ning spoke as her face scrunched up in disdain.

"Jie, be calm. They can't beat da ge." Qi Ying comforted her.

"Yes. No one can beat our boss, thus they only dare run around when our leader's not present." Wu Heng frowned.

"Call me 'leader'!" Qi Ming told them.

"You have enmity with them?" Jin Wu asked. This is the usual conversation between two hostile groups.

"Yes. Their leader fancied my jie and tried to force himself on her. Fortunately, da ge arrived. Or else…" Qi Ying's face darkened.

"Such a bastard!" Mo Shi frowned.

"Yes. He even tried to make a pass at Qi Ying, saying that since he and Ning-mei are twins, he will settle on Qi Ying instead." Mu Qi spoke through his gritted teeth.

Obviously, they hate this other group of people.

"Where are they located?" Yi Bing asked.

"What are you going to do?" Qi Ming asked.

"I've never committed arson before…" Huo Ling said as he made a ball of fire.

Everyone. "…" they are actually aggressive?!

Qi Ning's eyes reddened. "Thank you." She told them.

"Don't worry, jie. If we'll meet those bastards, I'll burn them to crisp!" Mo Shi assured her.

Jin Wu nodded. It's the apocalypse, and law is useless anymore. Only those who are innately kind would continue to follow it, but these innately kind people are usually taken advantage of, or worse, used and abused. They can see that the Rolling Thunder Team, Hu Feng and Wen Yan are kind people, that's why they are willing to help them.

"Let me kick his rotten egg if you've caught him." Tang Xiu said.

Everyone. "…" they immediately felt a pain between their legs when they heard what she said. She's really a tough woman! They thought. But, it's better for her to be tough than be weak, or else, she might also end up like Qi Ning who was almost abused.

Qi Ming helplessly smiled. When he saw that his younger sister's top was torn and a man was on top of her, lightning and fire appeared and fiercely hit the man. It was just a pity that the man didn't die, as he was also a level two ability user.

"Let's go and eat first. Then, rest after. We'll have a long day tomorrow." He told them.

"Okay!" they answered.

…

"They are all ability users?! And dual ability users?!" the people exclaimed while the Rolling Thunder Team, Hu Feng and Wen Yan are eating with Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi.

"A blessing! This is a blessing to our base!" they said as they left.

Earlier, they were complaining about them but now, they are overjoyed. Humans really are fickle creatures.

"Hey. If you won't join our team, how about you give a name to your team?" Qi Ming suggested.

The Rolling Thunder Team has already heard about this while on their way. Although they felt disappointed, but they also feel happy since the four strong people will stay in their base and even help them. They also said they won't be forming a team and it will just be four of them in their group!

"A name for our group?" Jin Wu spoke.

"Yes. How about 'Handsome and Talented Quartet'?" Qi Ning asked.

"That's too long!" Qi Ying spoke.

The Rolling Thunder Team discussed while Hu Feng and Wen Yan just silently ate on the side, showing their habit as military officers.

"Just call us 'Grim Reapers'." Yi Bing spoke.

"Huh?" the Rolling Thunder Team turned.

Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi. "…" this is too blatant! What happened to being low-key?! They thought as they sat stiffly on their seat.

"What's wrong?" Hu Feng asked when he saw the three's weird expression.

"Nothing." Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi answered as they resumed eating.

"'Grim Reapers'… that sounds ominous." Qi Ning said.

"But it also sounds cool!" Wu Heng said.

"Strong!" Lin An added.

"They might be really reapers." Zuo Li joked.

Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi. "…" we really are.

"What's wrong? Do you feel ill?" Hu Feng asked when he saw the trio's expression looked strange again.

"They don't look grim, though." Mu Qi said.

"In fact, they are handsome!" Tang Xiu added.

"Yes, yes! They are really handsome!" Qi Ning giggled.

"… I am also handsome!" Qi Ming said.

He really is.

"How can I idolize my elder brother's face!" Qi Ning complained.

"Then, you idolize general Hu!" Qi Ming said and pointed Hu Feng who was silently eating. "He's also handsome!" he said.

He really is.

Hu Feng stiffened and then turned to glare at Qi Ming. "Don't drag me!" he told him.

"But general Hu is the ascetic type. Brother is the gentleman type." Qi Ning said.

"What about me, Ning-mei?" Wen Yan smiled.

"The genial type!" Qi Ning answered and then turned to Yi Bing, Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi. "Cold type!" she said and pointed Yi Bing. "The boy-next-door!" she pointed Huo Ling. "The wild one!" she said as she pointed Jin Wu. "And the young master type!" she finished as she grinned at Mo Shi.

Tang Xiu whistled as she looked at the handsome men around them.

"What about us, Ning-me?" Zuo Li asked.

Qi Ning turned. "Zuo-ge, please don't put me in a tight spot." She spoke and acted like she has encountered a problem.

Everyone roared in laughter after hearing her answer while Zuo Li acted like he is crying.

A smile formed in Huo Ling's lips as he watched them. "They are a happy bunch." He spoke in a low voice.

"It's rare you'll see this scene in the apocalypse." Yi Bing said. "It's also rare you'll meet people like them." he said.

"Pure." Jin Wu spoke.

"And true." Mo Shi smiled.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Yan asked when he turned to them.

"Nothing." The grim reapers answered.

"Then, it's decided!" Qi Ying spoke. "We'll call them 'Grim Reapers'." He said.

Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi. "…" we though you have already forgotten about this matter! They thought as they internally cried. They turned and glared at their leader who smiled.

"Good." Yi Bing spoke.

Huo Ling, Jin Wu and Mo Shi. "…" our hearts feel tired!

…

"So, Ling Shiyi still wasn't cured…" Jin Wu heaved a sigh.

"Only Shen Taizi can heal him." Yi Bing spoke.

Jin Wu grinned. "He can really be cruel." He said.

Yi Bing didn't react to his words. "Ling Shiyi is still fortunate as no Foul has invaded his body. His body constitution saved him." He said.

"But his wings were lost, though." Jin Wu can't help but lament. "If someone wants to save Ling Shiyi, only the emperor can move Shen Taizi." He said.

Yi Bing didn't speak for a while. "Jin Wu." He suddenly called.

"Yes?" Jin Wu answered.

"Who assigned the tasks?" Yi Bing asked.

"Hmm… let me think – " Jin Wu spoke.

This matter is of the Upper Heaven and the Lower Heaven.

"… eh? It seems to be Shen Taizi." Jin Wu answered after a while. "What's wrong?" he asked when he saw Yi Bing fell silent.
