Pursuing Life Is Hard Everytime

C25: Abilities of Magus

Going back this time was less hustle -which means no bad people or robbers on the road-  although the the abnormal snow was getting abnormaly heavier by each time but it was still a very smooth drive.

"Ah?!" He Qian gasped excitedly as Magus shrinked in a pinky size snake. Just like Xiao Xiao, it can also adjust it's size in baby form! He Qian can't help but flush from excitement almost clapping his hands from excitement like a kid. "If you are like that you can be easily hidden, ah! No wonder no one could catch you there, ah! What else? What else can you do Magus?" he asked as Dong Ming at the back can't also helped but watch them excitedly and expectantly in amazement. Tong Feng and Captain Fu although not reacting was both quiet interested as well by the snake.

"What else I can do? Let's see.." Magus playfully wag its little tail before it answer. "My invisibility is of high caliber and my fangs are poisonous. The kind of poison that will not kill people but will give you a hallucination of the things you are scared the most before the person's body would lost consciousness for atleast a day depends on how great the person's mental strength to resist my poison. One can even spit his most darkest secret accidentally if the mental strength is not powerful enough. I've done it a lot of times to the people of the little base so I'm very confident how my poison's usefulness." Magus said confidently as his daunty male voice became a little perverted as he said his last words as if suggestively.

"Wow!" He Qian was even more excited of it.

"What?! What does it says?!" Dong Ming curiously asked like an anxious child excited by a big secret to hear.

"Magus said he also have poison ability. Although it can't kill people but it can give the victim hallucinations of his biggest nightmare or it can make you spit dirty secrets hihi!" He Qian hurriedly explained as he giggled.

"What?! That ability is very useful!" Said by the surprised Dong Ming.

He Qian nodded his head. "Indeed! It was a good underhanded method."

"That's cool! Hey! Hey, Magus!  Can you try it to someone I know in our base. He is a Doctor but a very irritating doctor that always annoyed me everyday, ah!"

"eh?! Isn't Big Brother Moon nice?" He Qian asked confused. "Or did you mean someone else?"

Dong Ming sneered. "Mr He,  don't be deceive by his face and look farther. He is like a sea. There is no end to his wide creepiness." He said heartily as if a grandfather reminding and educating a grandson.

"Creepiness?   -I thought you were just annoyed.."

------------------------

The handsome Doctor far away who was seriously playing a building blocks suddenly sneezed ending most of the complicated fixed blocks to collapsed. Feeling a chill from his back he turned around by instinct and saw a cute child with a puffed pinkish chicks and sharp eyes.

Dr Moon tried to smile silly. "I will fix it." he said to Fu Sichen.

---------------------------

"Ah? Are the those army trucks from our base?!" Dong Ming said in rounded eyes as they happened to meet a familiar logo on the way. The base he meant was the Primary Base and not their own secret small secret base that was only meant for Captain Fu's team.

He Qian curiously look outside the car as three loaded trucks with big men in soldiers uniform on it was about to meet their way. The things in the trucks were tightly covered so there's no chance for them to see what's the goods but He Qian felt that it could be something good that was in it as the soldiers looked tight and focus in fronts and at the back. Six cars were even closely tailing them.
The first truck roll down it's window as they became closer and closer to them and Captain Fu also rolled down his window. Both the meeting truck and car stopped at the same time as a sturdy man of his forties nodded to Captain Fu as a greeting. Captain Fu nodded back.

"Captain Fu."

"Lieutenant Colonel Song."

He Qian blinked as the two man speak so casually but as he watch them great and chat a bit he sensed a hidden conflict although he might just also been thinking of it  ..wrong?

The two men did not chat for long as the man called Lieutenant Colonel Song bid farewell after a while.

"I need to go now. A lot of important people are still waiting for my return unlike some idle people I know. Hahaha! Please don't think I was implying you since Captain Fu was also busy everyday running everywhere around, right?" the truck started and before he go he even saluted with a sly smile.

'It really is a hidden conflict, ah!' He Qian stared carefully at the sly Lieutenant Colonel trying to remember his face if so he could meet it again in the future.

"That guy is too arrogant when he is not even at Captain Fu's level. *hiss!* Jealous people stinks everywhere."

He Qian look at Magus as he think of what he said. Xiao Xiao can't actually really tell or point the exact level of Captain Fu but Magus seemed to know?

"That idiot old man was full of bitter vinegar everytime. Acting so mighty when he is just someone's dog." Dong Ming suddenly commented in a sneer as the trucks moved away from them.

"Ofcourse. That Major General's toy-boy always hated our Captain since he can't control him for his perverted plans even before apocalypse came and even until now." Tong Feng also commented as his face was obvious for his dislikes to that Lieutenant Colonel.

He Qian open both his ears with interest to know more gossip from the two men when suddenly a heat rushed his body running into his head followed by a sudden but extremely painful feeling as if his brain was pricked by hundreds of niddles. Supporting his head with two hands a gasped and a scream escaped his lips. "Ahh!"

Captain Fu who saw his reaction stopped the starting engine of the car and when he screamed both men starting to gossip at the backseat was taken aback as they look at the incorrect state of He Qian at the front.
"Ah? Mr He?! What's wrong?!" Dong Ming asked who was easily panicked. Even Xiao Xiao was stiffed then a familiar strong fluctuation of malign forces coming from afar startled it's little heart into fright as the sensation by this second time feels more oddly and more dangerous than the first. Xiao Xiao was not aware but even Magus reacted the same as the kitten as even the silent Nan trembled making it's body transparent for a moment.

"Ahh! Hurts! Head hurts!" He Qian's eyes poled with big tears as his face and thin lips paled at the same time to the point of no color. The three men with him worriedly look closely as they both want to reach him but was afraid to do so. He Qian's face showed a very painful look as he trembled uncontrollably followed by darkness. His unconscious body silently fall to Captain Fu as the Captain hurriedly support him. Looking at He Qian's unconscious and paled face, two red fluids flow out of his nose. The fury ball litte kitten also almost passed out in fright looking at He Qian's state specialy when he saw the blood that came out.
