Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 280

At this moment, Gu Yuan and the others finally noticed that Ye Changming and his wife were nothing like the people they had seen in Zone C.

Especially the aura they carried…

“Xiangxiang, come on, let me show you around the base. Your aunt and I have been busy leveling up recently, so we didn’t know you had arrived…” Ye Changming was still speaking.

“Uncle, what tier are you now?” Ye Xiangxiang suddenly asked.

This wasn’t a secret. “We just reached Tier 3 not long ago.”

“What about Ye Shaohua? Does she know I’m here? Didn’t she come with you?” Not just Ye Xiangxiang, but everyone in their team turned their attention to Ye Changming and his wife.

Gu Yuan and the others were losing their minds.

Weren’t they Tier 1 in the past life?

*Two Tier 3 strength-based ability users? How the hell did they manage that?*

“She went to the lab,” Ye Changming smiled. “I’m not sure what she’s doing…”

“Miss Ye went to help Su Ran level up. He’s preparing to break through to Tier 5. Most of the base is already at Tier 4, but the first Tier 5 is a big deal. Miss Ye takes it very seriously.” The one who spoke was Weiwei, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Ever since learning that Ye Xiangxiang might have deliberately led them into that zombie horde, Weiwei had been wary of them.

Her words sent Ye Xiangxiang and her team into stunned silence.

But it also cleared up what they hadn’t understood before—why Weiwei was in Zone A, why the people in Zone A hadn’t been surprised by their Tier 3 abilities.

Because they already had Tier 4 ability users here.

And the one helping them level up was Ye Shaohua!

To be honest, when they heard Su Ran was preparing to break through to Tier 5, Ye Xiangxiang and her team couldn’t help but feel envy and jealousy.

Weiwei didn’t say anything more. After all, starting today, Sui Yun had lifted the restrictions on Ye Xiangxiang’s group.

They would soon see for themselves just how good the Capital Base was.

Before leaving, Ye Changming and his wife left behind a Tier 3 energy crystal.

Not that Ye Shaohua needed it—she could get as many as she wanted.

But seeing Ye Xiangxiang’s reluctant yet greedy grip on the crystal, Weiwei smirked coldly.

As Ye’s parents walked out, Weiwei supported Ye’s mother and casually remarked, “So Ye Xiangxiang and Miss Ye are cousins? Honestly, I never would’ve guessed.”

“Never would’ve guessed?” Ye’s mother smiled kindly. “People always said they were as close as real sisters.”

“Real sisters?” Weiwei feigned surprise. “Then why did Ye Xiangxiang try to convince Captain Su Ran to abandon Miss Ye back in Qing City?”

This was something Ye’s parents had never heard before. They froze. “What? That can’t be… Xiangxiang wouldn’t…”

“Captain Su Ran and Qi Feng can confirm it,” Weiwei sighed. “You might see Miss Ye as she is now, but back when she first woke up, we didn’t detect any abilities in her. Ye Xiangxiang wanted us to leave her behind just because she was an ordinary person. Thankfully, Captain Su Ran refused. But because we insisted on bringing Miss Ye, Ye Xiangxiang and her group left us.”

Ye Shaohua had never mentioned any of this to her parents.

It would be easy to verify with Qi Feng and the others.

In fact, just Ye Xiangxiang’s reaction earlier had already given Ye Changming and his wife some clues.

Watching the joy fade from their faces, Weiwei decided not to press further.

After a long silence, Ye Changming and his wife weren’t so much angry as deeply disappointed.

No wonder Shaohua never mentioned looking for Ye Xiangxiang after arriving at the base.

So this was why.

Word of Ye Xiangxiang’s connection to Ye Shaohua spread through the Capital Base. People who had previously ignored them now treated them with respect.

Eventually, Ye Xiangxiang was even allowed into Zone A.

The sight of its advanced facilities, ongoing research, and casually roaming Tier 4 ability users left her and her team breathless, despite their mental preparation.

Once Qi Feng and the others learned the trio was in the Capital Base, they made a point of flaunting their progress in front of them.

Ye Shaohua might not care about these three, but the others still held a grudge.

Weren’t you saying Su Ran would regret it? That we’d all die because of Ye Shaohua?

Well, not only are we not dead, we’re stronger than ever!

You think Tier 3 is impressive? Sorry, we’re all preparing to break through to Tier 5!

As for the energy drugs the Doomsday Trio relied on? The Doctor wouldn’t even spare them a glance.

Only after thoroughly rubbing their faces in it did Qi Feng and the others return to prepare for their next mass level-up.

After Weiwei’s revelation, Ye Changming and his wife grew distant from Ye Xiangxiang. Weiwei tried to visit them once, but they refused to see her.

Three years later, the Capital Base had become a global hub, and the virus in China was largely under control.

People from all over the world, even the U.S., flocked to it.

Those under Ye Shaohua’s wing had all surpassed the current highest-tier ability users—Tier 7.

Ye Xiangxiang and her team never saw Ye Shaohua again.

In three years, China had restored much of its infrastructure and power grid.

Centered around the Capital Base, a massive safe zone had been constructed—half the size of old Beijing.

Ability users formed teams, and children were now being born with innate abilities.

The Earth was the same, but its systems had changed forever.

“Breaking news: The legendary Celestial-tier Black Bear has been eliminated by Chief Sui Yun and Captain Su Ran’s team. All civilians in T Town have been rescued…” The screens across the city displayed Sui Yun and Su Ran’s group.

The crowds—ordinary people and ability users alike—erupted in cheers.

Some chanted “Miss Ye!”, others “Chief Sui!” or “Su Ran!”

These figures stood at the pinnacle of global power, leading the world’s most formidable base.

Even Weiwei, an ordinary person, had become a key figure in the labs.

Standing in the streets, Ye Xiangxiang and her team couldn’t help but seethe with envy.

Gu Yuan stared blankly at the cold-eyed young woman on the screen.

Ye Shaohua had never retaliated against them, but the trio never reached their past life’s heights either. Three years later, they were still stuck at Tier 5 in an era where Tier 5s were common and Tier 7s no longer rare.

They lived better than ordinary people, but compared to Ye Shaohua and Su Ran’s group, they were insignificant.

It took years, but both of this world’s missions were finally complete.

Ye Shaohua stayed with Sui Yun for decades, her appearance barely aging until the system forcibly extracted her.

[Ding! Main Quest 1 completed. Reward: 1,000 points. Main Quest 2 completed. Reward: 15,000 points! Completion rate: 100%. Bonus reward: Brain development +15%.]

[Ding! System 008 at your service. 2,500 points have been deposited. Initiating world extraction!]

——

Dazed, Ye Shaohua heard a voice beside her.

“Shaohua, your dad and I are going to set up the stall. Heat up the food in the pot when you’re ready.” A middle-aged woman’s voice.

Then the click of a door closing.

Du Man and Ye Cheng wheeled out their food cart.

Neighbors in the old apartment complex greeted them.

“Auntie Du, Uncle Ye, off to work?”

“Yeah.” The couple smiled warmly, their expressions honest and kind.

Watching Ye Cheng’s limping gait, three elderly residents exchanged pitying glances.

“The Ye family really has it rough.”

“Don’t they say the pitiable have their own faults?” One of them, who lived above the Ye family, noticed the open door and Ye Shaohua—just waking up and heading to the kitchen—and curled her lip in disdain.

“Favoring their useless younger daughter over their eldest, who’s doing her master’s at A University. What does Sinian lack compared to this Ye Shaohua?”

“Exactly,” another shook her head. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the Ye family drama.

“This Ye Shaohua—spoiled rotten by her parents. Graduated college but won’t get a job, sleeps till noon, leeching off them. If she were my granddaughter, I’d have kicked her out long ago. Disgraceful.”

The third added gossipily, “Heard she even asked Granny Li downstairs to find her a match. Tch. With her slovenly ways, who’d want her? Poor Granny Li, too kind to refuse. But even she can’t work miracles—no successful young man would ever look twice at her.”
