Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 200

Chapter 200

Five people.

Song Ye, Ji Chao, Wei Ke, Feng Wancheng, and Sang Mu.

Each with an ability in one hand and a knife in the other, covered in blood, they walked forward step by step. Their sneakers, on the bloody ground full of severed limbs and corpses, made a series of messy “squeak squeak” sounds.

The bits of flesh from the corpses, along with the blood, would stick to their shoes and splatter on their clothes, making them look disheveled and fierce.

But what did that matter?

They still couldn’t escape the encirclement…

Even though they had killed many, there were still many living corpses.

They still couldn’t escape the encirclement…

Bang!

It was unclear who had released the ability, but the lights on the ceiling of the underground space were instantly shattered, and the view suddenly went black.

Song Ye suddenly looked up, her heart full of suspicion.

In the darkness, of course, everything was easier to do. It wasn’t that she didn’t know this, but she had tried several times to break the lights and plunge everything into darkness, but she had always failed.

At that time, she had known that Zhao Yan’s people were also on their guard against any possibility of them escaping.

She could also be sure that the lights being broken this time was not the work of the five of them. The little ball of light had no attack power, and it was also impossible for it to break the lights. The lights…

Who on earth had broken them?!

And at this time, in the sudden darkness and chaos, Song Ye keenly noticed someone approaching them. They weren’t wearing night vision goggles, and with the lights on, wearing that thing would certainly not be conducive to combat. Not to mention that at such a tense time, if you couldn’t see clearly and your vision was blocked, that would be pure suicide.

But even if Song Ye couldn’t see very clearly, in the chaotic scene, she could still feel someone approaching.

Subconsciously, she clenched her fists.

Perhaps sensing Song Ye’s wariness and suspicion, the person did not get too close. They stopped at a safe distance, and then a voice echoed in her mind. “Leave through the northeast corner…”

Song Ye frowned slightly. Who is this?

The northeast corner. Is it a trap, or can we really leave?!

The voice was silent, and it was impossible to tell the direction. But she looked in the direction of the visitor.

If you were to say it was suspicious, then it could only be him.

But the person quickly blended into the vast crowd of corpses. It was dark, and she couldn’t see clearly, and she could no longer distinguish him.

Although she was puzzled, Song Ye didn’t lose her composure. They couldn’t get away, so she simply called over the little ball of light that had been flying around her.

The little ball of light had shrunk a lot and was faintly glowing. At first, in the bright lights of the underground space, it was not very obvious. But now that the space was dark, it was still not very obvious.

After all, with all the abilities flying around, and all of them glowing, it was nothing.

Hearing Song Ye call, it quickly flew over and, out of habit, perched on her messy hair, which was full of blood and bits of flesh. But it immediately reacted, and the smell and feel were still so disgusting and uncomfortable that it quickly flew up again.

This time, it landed on Song Ye’s shoulder. “What’s wrong? You called me?”

Song Ye said directly, “Little Light, go and see what the situation is in the northeast corner. Can we leave?”

The so-called “mind’s eye” was a voice that sounded directly in the heart. Other than the designated person, no one else could hear it. So the little ball of light had no idea about the transmission, and neither did the others.

Although it was a bit strange, out of trust for Song Ye, its little body tilted and went directly.

It was not a physical entity and could pass through directly. Even abilities could not have any effect or harm on it. So its speed was very fast.

The northeast corner. How to put it? This place didn’t seem to be any different from the others.

Was there anything to see?

The little ball of light’s already not-so-large brain was a little confused. But it still flew around in a circle, and in the end…

It saw that in the innermost part of this side, in a remote corner with few pods, there was actually a small door.

It was only half a meter high, really not big, and very hidden. The kind you couldn’t see if you didn’t look carefully. When had this been opened?

The little ball of light was shocked, its eyes wide.

Of course, if it had eyes…

It quickly flew back to tell Song Ye, and in the end, she herself was stunned. “What did you say… you saw a small door?”

“Are you sure it’s a small door?!”

The little ball of light nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, it’s a door. I flew over, and I can really get to the outside, and it goes up.”

Song Ye: “…”

This… what’s going on?

When they had first come to this underground space, they had once circled the entire space and had not seen any door, or any broken or weak place. Which meant that this thing had not been there before, but why was it there now?

If it was a cave, it would be understandable. But a door…

And who was that person just now? Was it them who had opened this door?

Or had it been hidden before?!

And most importantly, that person, or the organization or person behind him, why did they help them?!

Too many questions surrounded Song Ye, but she didn’t think too much about it, because she had no other choice.

To escape, to survive, she could only choose to believe.

“We’ll head northeast!”

“Okay.”

With a decision made, Song Ye no longer hesitated. The five of them, covered in bits of flesh and blood, were clearly in a terrible state, but they were as fierce as tigers out of a cage as they charged at the enemy opposite them.

They carved a bloody path, and then they ran for their lives.

“Little Light, take them all in.”

Song Ye held her blade in one hand and fire in the other, and with a double slash, she burned the heads of the ferocious corpses in front of her to ashes.

“Okay.”

The little ball of light answered and quickly took Sang Mu, who had been pierced by an earth spike, and Wei Ke, who had been pierced through the chest and had fainted, into its space.

Feng Wancheng was providing cover, but there were too many attackers. He was held back by a few corpses, and he couldn’t take care of the ones pouncing from behind. He was grabbed from behind.

“Ho!”

“Old Feng…”

Ji Chao wanted to go over, but he couldn’t. So he could only watch as Feng Wancheng had an arm torn off, along with half his shoulder.

Rip!

Even in the darkness of the exploding abilities, for him, that sound was absolutely piercing.

“Damn it, Old Feng…”

Just as Feng Wancheng was about to be completely torn apart, a sudden low roar sounded. It was Song Ye, who had suddenly shot out. The military knife was covered in flames, and with a crackling sound, she threw it.

Whoosh—

A thick pillar of fire, like a roaring giant dragon, with the thrown military knife as a guide, dissolved and disintegrated, and in the midst of it, it burned all the corpses and enemies in front of it to ashes.

Even the bluestone ground was burned into a gully by the extreme high temperature.

She had forcibly carved a path.

Song Ye’s gaze was cold and lonely. She threw Feng Wancheng, whom she was holding, to the little ball of light, which had just brought the two of them into the space and had turned its head.

Ji Chao took the opportunity to come over. Song Ye, on the other hand, went to meet him, and was the first to grab him and throw him at the little ball of light.

“Cough! You…”

But Song Ye’s face was expressionless, and she didn’t pay him any attention. The little ball of light also didn’t care about that. Since the person had been thrown over, it would take him.

One second.

Three seconds.

Five seconds later, the special military knife was completely burned by the high-temperature fire. Without a guide, the faintly golden fire pillar also gradually extinguished.

It wasn’t until it had completely dissipated that the messy bluestone ground was revealed.

Perhaps a person would be afraid, but a mindless corpse definitely wouldn’t. Without the fire, they continued to charge forward without fear of death, making unconscious “ho ho” sounds, trying to grab the intruder in front of them and tear them to shreds.

But they didn’t.

Because they were stopped.

The intense, piercing wound in her waist and the horizontal and vertical wounds all over her body made Song Ye very uncomfortable. But her face didn’t show it. She saw the corpse swarm automatically separate, and a figure walked over.

It was Zhao Yan.

But unlike the first time he had appeared, the honest and simple-looking Zhao Yan, at this time, he had clearly changed. The evil in his eyes radiated a malicious light. He clearly hated Song Ye and her group to the core, but he had also never expected that with just a dozen or so of them, they would be so troublesome.

Thousands of corpses had been killed by them so tragically. Although they had also suffered great casualties.

“Since it has come to this, then you might as well tell me who you are. How did you find this place? Don’t you know that you have to pay a price for trespassing in a strange place?”

He spoke, and Zhao Yan sneered. Then his tone suddenly changed. “You’re a dual ability user? A fire ability user, and a special transformation spatial ability user. Not bad, a very good ability.”

“I believe you’re also a smart person. You only have two choices now. One is to die here. I believe you’ve already realized that. You can’t escape. No matter how strong you are individually, you can’t fight against a whole army.”

“And the second, submit to me. How about I spare your life?”

But Song Ye just looked at him with a cold expression, without responding, letting him get as excited as he wanted.

Since she didn’t answer, Zhao Yan wasn’t angry either, just smiled sinisterly. “Alright, since you’re unwilling, then forget it. If you don’t surrender, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“In any case, when you die, your corpse will also become a part of this place, a nourishment for the Wronged.”

Surrender was best. It didn’t matter if she didn’t. He just didn’t want to increase his casualties. After all, the result of killing an intruder with the smallest price and the largest price was different. These were two different things.

But since Song Ye had already made her choice, then he had nothing more to say.

“Go! Kill her.”

Ho! Ho ho—

In an instant, the corpses, having received their orders, went berserk again, and all of them rushed at Song Ye with their claws and teeth bared.

Without her military knife, Song Ye wasn’t flustered at all.

Her ability was pushed to the extreme, and with a “whoosh,” a huge explosion, a rolling flame suddenly erupted from her body. The flame was so strong that it instantly made all the other abilities lose their color.

An astonishing heat spread out, and even in the crimson flame, there was a faint, golden light.

Two seconds. When the flame had burned to its peak, Song Ye stomped her foot, and with a push, her entire body was like an arrow leaving a bow, carrying the raging fire, and without any regard, she rushed straight to the small door in the northeast corner.

She was already fighting with her life on the line.

As long as one person could get out, they could take the little ball of light out. And once it was out, everyone inside would have a chance to live.

Everyone was already seriously injured. The only ones who could still move were her and Ji Chao. One of the two had to risk their life, and one had to get out alive, to bring all the people who needed to be rescued back to Ning Mountain.

And Song Ye had just chosen to sacrifice herself.

Although she also wanted to live.

The distance was gradually closing, and the crimson fire was burning fiercely, dyeing the surrounding vision red, like a swaying, large red lantern.

A hundred meters.

Fifty meters.

Thirty-something meters…

So close that in the strange, sharp hiss of the corpses, Zhao Yan also saw the small door that had been opened at some point, somehow.

His entire face immediately turned black as charcoal.

“Damn it! When!”

“Stop her, quick—”

But it was destined to be unstoppable.

The raging fire swayed and boiled, and all the attacking corpses and abilities were crushed and dissolved.

Song Ye spat out a mouthful of blood but gritted her teeth and held on.

Three meters.

One meter.

Within reach.

The next second, rumble—

The originally only about half-a-meter-high small hole was instantly smashed to pieces by the fire pillar, and a series of huge explosions sounded.

The outside was actually empty.

It was a tunnel, slanting straight up, and it was pitch black, and you couldn’t see anything.

But Song Ye could no longer see anything.

She only felt her vision go black, and she couldn’t help but vomit blood. For a moment, her head was splitting, and it was unbearable. Even the fire pillar around her seemed to be unable to be maintained any longer.

This was the price of forcibly raising her ability. She had tasted this for the second time.

That was when she had saved He Qing at the beginning of the apocalypse, and this time…

“Song Ye!!”

The voice in her ears was muffled and unclear, but it carried a certain familiar, urgent feeling.
