The Psychic X Apocalypse

Chapter 18 [Mystery Behind Hao Zixin's Fire Power]

"How can you put out such a huge fire without any tools?"

As Tang Jingyi flashed her question, Joy felt her heart almost stop beating. Although invisible from her facial expression, Joy was very panicked and worried at the same time.

Joy thought Hao Zinxi was part of her people. A psychic with the ability to produce fire. Psychic who do not know about the cold conflict between psychics and normal humans. So that he did not intend to hide his abnormal strength.

Even exposing it in front of normal humans.

Joy glanced silently towards Tang Jingyi. The cold woman did not show any expression, her face remained flat despite her piercing gaze.

But Joy was able to analyze from the cold woman's extremely observant eyes that she suspected Hao Zixin, not least Tang Jingyi seemed to be completely wary of the existence of the ability to emit fire.

Moreover, given Tang Jingyi's brief moment of battle with plant mutants just now, Joy was increasingly convinced that the normal human group she encountered were people who were classified as dangerous.

His shrewd and standardized movements, his well-trained posture followed his muscle memory spontaneously, and the application of reliable strategies in a short time, were, Joy only needed a little observation to draw the conclusion that Tang Jingyi was a professional at fighting and had already received training from early life.

Which meant Tang Jingyi might be a renowned martial artist, or a member of the military. In other words, the supposed military stronghold is a plot of the enemy of the psychic.

Cold sweat started flowing from Joy's body, and her palms became wet.

"Ah, this fire?" Hao Zixin boldly returned to demonstrating the scene she thought was cool when saving Tang Jingyi and co.

His arms were stretched forward and his palms were displayed. Then a fire with a diameter the size of a soccer ball emerged from his palm, illuminating his face and the entire underground bunker with dim lights.

This time not only was Joy shocked, Tang Jingyi, Anna, and Xu Zhaoyang now widened their eyes.

"Wow..." Anna sontak.

"I-this .. is impossible to happen," Xu Zhaoyang stammered as he set the position of his glasses that had swayed.

While Tang Jingyi's body stiffened. The glare of his eyes became sharper, checking around Hao Zixin's palm and checking the man's clothes through his gaze.

"How did you get through it?" tang Jingyi asked looking calm.

"Uhm, actually I don't know, either" Hao Zixin explained and then laughed awkwardly.

Hao Zixin extinguished the fire on his palm and allowed his sitting position to lean against the bunker wall.

"Do you remember the blackout a few days ago?" Hao Zixin began her story by asking questions.

"Blackout, the phenomenon of total darkness that occurs at midnight at the turn of the day to the new year. The phenomenon covered all corners of the world and was exactly ten minutes long," Tang Jingyi explained folding both of her hands in front of her chest.

Hao Zixin nodded. "Rubber. But after the blackout phenomenon, there are still events that may be closely related to the phenomenon," he continued.

Now Xu Zhaoyang joined the conversation. "You mean that very high fever? According to the news, if it is not wrong the fever is caused by a virus that has not been identified and the spread is random, meaning it can infect anyone," he said.

"Aren't you one of the patients? Ah, but judging from your body condition, you don't look sick..." Anna reflected back on her words.

"What's your problem?" Tang Jingyi sounded impatient.

"Uh, so after that dark phenomenon, I don't feel well. At first I also had that high fever, but my mind was so fresh that I thought it was just a normal fever. After all, I only had a fever for one day, after which I was able to do activities as usual" Hao Zixin told me.

"Don't you feel your body is very hot? Why not go to the hospital?" cut Anna.

Hao Zixin seemed to be scratching the side of her forehead while giving a thin smile. "I don't think that's a big deal. After all, as a student with a heavy task load, fever like it has become part of my routine," he said sounding ironic.

Tang Jingyi interrupted, "Then after you have a high fever, you mean you gained the ability to let out a fire?"

"With a high fever, I felt my body become a bit limp but only lasted for a little while. The rest of my life was normal afterwards. Until when I was cooking in my apartment, ugh, this story was kind of stupid, but I accidentally kicked the leg of the table and fell. At that moment I tried to reach something, but my hand hit the stove whose fire was burning."

"Are you not hurt?" sergeant Xu Zhaoyang.

Hao Zixin then shook her head. "Not injured, I did not feel any heat even though my hand was clearly piercing through the fire. Not only that, which made me really shocked, my hand also issued a fire that further increased the fire of the stove. It was a fire that burned the bottom of the closet on it," said Hao Zixin sounding a little sad when saying the last sentence.

"That means you can let out a fire after passing through the phenomenon of darkness and the process of high fever?" This time Joy commented on the story of Hao Zixin which sounded very silly.

"Really! It doesn't make sense, does it? But it really happened to me!" hao Zixin tried to convince the others.

Tang Jingyi chimed in, "If you know it doesn't make sense, how can we trust your story?"

Hearing Tang Jingyi's opinion, Xu Zhaoyang and Anna also nodded their heads indicating that they agreed to the statement.

"But I'm really not lying" Hao Zixin said in a limp voice.

"really?" refute Tang Jingyi once again. Hao Zixin was increasingly casting doubt on his face.

Joy sneered in her heart, but at the same time gave a loud clap for Tang Jingyi's actions. Watching the cold woman continue to corner Hao Zixin, Joy felt sorry for the man. But now they can all draw conclusions that are credible. That Hao Zixin had indeed truthfully told her experience.

Only one thing Joy did not expect, that Hao Zixin was not a psychic, but a normal human who suddenly had the power to emit fire.

So how did Hao Zixin get this supernatural ability from its association with the phenomenon of darkness and high fever?

A psychic must have had this power from birth.

"Alright, we half-believe your words," Tang Jingyi said. Her eyes fixed on Hao Zixin then moved on to Joy.

"By the way, are you the younger brother of the man who wielded the sword?"

Joy gulped her saliva. Is this the time to be interrogated?

"Yes, I'm his sister" Joy replied calmly.

Tang Jingyi was silent for a moment, although her gaze was clearly tracing Joy to the point of wanting to uncover the secret that was harbored on the tiny body.

"My name is Tang Jingyi. She's Anna, and the one with the glasses is Xu Zhaoyang" Tang Jingyi said as she pointed to the two people next to her.

Anna waved her hand at Joy, while Xu Zhaoyang turned his face away.

Joy had to smile. "My name is Joy" she replied.

"Joy. It seems like you and your brother were already fighting some mutants before they got to the apartment lobby, yes," Tang Jingyi said sharply glancing at the dirty marks on Joy's clothes, "Even your brother is carrying a real sword. What's your brother's job?"

Uh oh's.

While putting on a smile, Joy tried to answer. "Uhm, my brother works as-"

Booms!

Suddenly a loud shock was felt until the underground bunker swayed. It indicates that something happened up there.

Tang Jingyi spontaneously stood up and held her dagger tightly.

"We need to get back to the lobby. Lu Feng is in danger."
