Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 165

Chapter 165

The crowd, under Sang Shu’s control, rushed madly at the figure in front of the dormitory building, which was surging with electric light. Although they were all dazed, their actions were not slow at all.

The people from Ning Mountain, the people from the Sunshine Base, plus the four who had been sent flying by Song Xun before—a total of about 50 people. And Song Xun still had to protect Ji Tang and the two cubs, so she couldn’t take down the electromagnetic barrier.

If there was a crack in her defense, that petty bastard Sang Shu would definitely take advantage of it.

Song Xun didn’t want her wife and children to lose consciousness and be controlled, so she could only stand outside the crackling electromagnetic barrier, maintaining its operation with one hand and fighting off the enemy with the other.

She could only watch as the crowd surrounded and rushed at her, unable to move.

Perhaps for others, this was indeed a passive act of being beaten. Defeat was only a matter of time. Even in Sang Shu’s eyes, it was like this. But for Song Xun, with just these few people, it was not enough.

Even if she had to fight with one hand.

Even if she couldn’t move.

Sang Shu stood behind the crowd, looking at the completely lopsided disparity, his gaze cold. “This time, let’s see what you do.”

Boom!

But under this gaze, Song Xun was not flustered at all. With a cold laugh, she made a move, and a crackling lightning flashed. The thick lightning pillar easily pierced through the attacking ice and fire abilities, and then suddenly froze in front of her.

Two seconds later, it suddenly burst.

The scattered ice and fire flew, mixed with the sound of breaking wind, and slammed into the crowd.

But unfortunately, other than those who were directly sent flying by the lightning pillar, the rest, even if they were affected, felt no pain, no fear.

She didn’t know if they were afraid in their hearts, but their actions were still like madmen, rushing forward without hesitation.

Song Xun frowned and sighed.

She wouldn’t be lenient with the people from the Sunshine Base, but the people from Ning Mountain…

Her own people were being used as pawns. Thinking about it, Song Xun got angry. Once she got angry, she also became ruthless. She would fight the Sunshine group to the death, but she would just watch the situation with the Ning Mountain Base people and try to limit their actions as much as possible.

But although Song Xun showed mercy, Sang Shu also discovered that although the people from Ning Mountain were few, there were really a few good seedlings, such as Wei Ke, Feng Wancheng, and Ji Chao and Chang Wan…

He rubbed his bruised eye sockets and sneered.

But this was more fun!

He strengthened his control, forcibly trying to break through Song Xun’s current confinement. But this would undoubtedly put a greater burden and pain on the bodies of those he controlled.

“Damn it!”

Song Xun was so angry.

Sang Shu’s ability was undoubtedly extremely disgusting. His mental ability did not have a direct attack ability for the time being, but it could control all life forms within a certain range, whether it was humans or mutated animals. As long as it was a living substance, it could be controlled as a pawn for him to use.

Not to mention one against fifty, even one against a hundred, Song Xun wasn’t afraid. But now that her own people were also being forcibly controlled, this made her a little hesitant.

Unless she could make up her mind to cripple the people from Ning Mountain, this situation could not be broken.

Is that possible?

Impossible. Song Xun couldn’t possibly do that.

So under various factors, she couldn’t help but fall into a disadvantage.

With reservations in her hands, her attacks were weakened.

But Sang Shu didn’t care so much. He naturally also saw Song Xun’s reservations. As he controlled the people to attack together, he also didn’t care about those who were sent flying one after another. He even went so far as to forcibly find an opening to try and control her brainwaves and thoughts again.

Crackling!

The electromagnetic barrier erupted again. Unfortunately for him, he failed again.

Song Xun’s head was suddenly dazed by the mental attack. She held the black Miao Dao in her hand, on which lightning flashed, sharp and domineering.

Looked at by that disdainful, cold gaze, Sang Shu said hatefully, “I’ll see how long you can last.”

“Song Xun, with so many people against you, even if your ability is strong, it will be exhausted. At that time, I will capture you, control you, and refine your mind.”

The male Alpha’s face, covered in blood, had a hint of a smile, but the words he spoke were filled with a chilling and cruel tone.

“Then we’ll see if you have what it takes,” Song Xun sneered.

She understood that today’s matter could not be resolved peacefully.

Even if it wasn’t today, it would be tomorrow, the day after, or in the near future.

Whether it was her or Sang Shu, they had already developed a killing intent towards each other. Only death was the end. Any other nonsense was useless.

But although she had said harsh words, when these people were sent flying one after another, Sang Shu had already understood that Song Xun was very strong.

She was stronger than he had expected.

And it wasn’t a good idea to go on like this. They were sent flying time and time again, and their bodies, which had been paralyzed by the electric current, could only be controlled again by increasing his mental power. And besides, the people from Ning Mountain were fine, as Song Xun had shown mercy, but his people from the Sunshine Base…

They were either dead or seriously injured.

Sang Shu’s face was ashen. To maintain his manpower, he could only continue to forcibly control them. But this would consume a lot of his mental power, and once it was exhausted, he would lose.

Compared to his previous plan of exhausting Song Xun’s ability, Sang Shu suddenly discovered that the possibility of him exhausting his own ability first would be greater.

He needed to end the battle quickly, but that was clearly not realistic. Then there was only one choice…

Stop!

A temporary truce!

Song Xun and Sang Shu both had their own considerations and difficulties. Although they had both thought of this method almost at the same time, when they looked up and met each other’s eyes through the flashing lightning and other obstacles, they both discovered the other’s intention.

But discovering it was one thing. Who would stop first…

Just as neither side wanted to be the first to stop, Xia Jin arrived like a hero from the sky.

The young Base Leader of the First Base came in a hurry, her face ashen, her eyelids twitching. Because she was too anxious and arrived so suddenly, her shouted voice was a bit rushed.

“Stop!”

Sang Shu snorted, glanced at Xia Jin, and almost at the same time as Song Xun, he stopped.

He was taking the easy way out.

If they continued to fight, neither would get any good out of it. Song Xun herself was not afraid, but for one, she couldn’t really be as ruthless as she was with the people from the Sunshine Base and kill or injure her own people, especially since Chang Wan, Ji Chao, Wang Qingyao, Feng Wancheng, and Wei Ke were among them.

And for another, if this continued, it would cause great damage to their bodies. And what if there was an accident? She was also afraid she wouldn’t be able to protect Ji Tang and the cubs.

Sang Shu’s thoughts were much simpler. He didn’t care about the people from the Sunshine Base, nor did he care about the people from Ning Mountain. He was just afraid that his ability would be exhausted before Song Xun’s, and then he would be in trouble.

He knew that once there was an opportunity, Song Xun would definitely kill him without hesitation.

He didn’t want to gamble, and he didn’t dare to.

So stopping was the only thought in both their minds at the moment.

So when Xia Jin arrived, the two of them took the opportunity to stop. Although Xia Jin had just arrived, she clearly understood both their personalities very well and quickly figured out their respective plans.

She wanted to say a few words, but in the end, she didn’t open her mouth.

Because she also understood that neither Song Xun nor Sang Shu would listen to her. One was more stubborn than the other, and one was more ruthless than the other.

Song Xun hadn’t shown any mercy to the people from the Sunshine Base. Even if they weren’t dead, they were basically crippled. Xia Jin directly sent people to take them to the hospital. As for what happened after, and whether they would survive, Song Xun didn’t care.

If you dared to fight her, you had to pay the price.

The people from Ning Mountain quickly regained their consciousness after Sang Shu had removed his mental control. But they clearly still remembered what they had done when they were controlled, and they all glared at Sang Shu with ugly expressions.

If it weren’t for the fact that Song Xun hadn’t spoken, and if it weren’t for the fact that they knew they couldn’t be impulsive, they would have gone up and beaten him.

When they parted, they didn’t even say a single harsh word. For Xia Jin, this was the only answer.

Xia Jin sighed. She really regretted having put these two groups together.

She had originally just thought that the building was big enough, and the two bases didn’t have many people, so it would definitely be enough. But she had ignored the fact that Sang Shu was a person with a heavy curiosity, and was also so petty, arrogant, and sinister.

And as for Song Xun, she wouldn’t actively cause trouble, but if someone provoked her, she wasn’t the kind of coward who would swallow her anger.

How could they not fight?

Although neither side had said it clearly, Xia Jin knew that neither of them would let the other go.

Sigh! So tired.

Back upstairs, the group didn’t split up, but just gathered in one room. There were only about 10 people, and although the room was small, it was fine if they squeezed together and closed the door.

Although Song Xun had held back, it was impossible for so many people not to have any injuries at all.

Ji Tang was silent, and with the lightly injured Chang Wan and Wang Qingyao, she applied medicine to each of them. The room was lit, but no one spoke, their faces all grim.

Ji Chao slammed his fist against the wall and suddenly turned to look. “What do we do? Are we just going to let it go like this?”

He was not willing.

The others also looked up at Song Xun, who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

“That’s right, boss. Isn’t this Sunshine Base a bit too arrogant?”

“Who do they look down on? We have to give them a taste of their own medicine. Otherwise, they’ll think we’re afraid of them.”

“That’s right. I can’t swallow this. I’m so angry.”

“…”

The group was chattering away, all angry but helpless. After all, Sang Shu’s mental control was really their nemesis.

It was too despicable. They couldn’t fight it. But to just let it go like this, no one could swallow their anger.

“Alright, that’s enough.”

Song Xun’s voice was cold. “How could we just let it go like this?”

Even if she wanted to let it go, Sang Shu wouldn’t agree.

Just as Sang Shu wanted to let it go, she wouldn’t agree either.

Now that things had happened, there was no room for maneuver. One of them had to die for it to be over.

“After the base conference tomorrow, you guys go back to Ning Mountain first. You don’t have to worry about the rest.”

The group fell silent. No one was a fool. How could they not understand Song Xun’s plan?

Ji Tang disagreed. “You’re going alone?”

Although the Sunshine Base had been crippled by Song Xun, that didn’t mean they had no one left. And besides, with Sang Shu’s ability, as long as he could control the living beings within his range, they were his people.

There were too many variables, and it was too dangerous.

Song Xun tilted her head and smiled. “Don’t worry. He’s no match for me.”

Ji Tang was silent. She of course knew Sang Shu wouldn’t be Song Xun’s match. She could see that today. And without their burden, Song Xun could use her full strength.

If Sang Shu really had to die, then this way… was also good.
