Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 201

Chapter 201

When Song Ye opened her eyes, the blackness of the eternal night was still without light, and the air was filled with a foul, rotten smell that spread with the cold wind.

But in the darkness, a faint light could be seen, which brightened this corner a little. Song Ye moved her body, and for a moment, it was stiff and sore, like the feeling of having been in one position for too long.

This movement actually made a crackling sound.

But what followed was a long-awaited feeling of relief, as if all the pain in her body had disappeared in an instant, and her body had returned to its original state.

Of course, she had indeed recovered.

Perhaps the situation was too abnormal. Song Ye reacted a beat too late. “???”

What’s going on? She’s not in pain anymore?

“You’re awake. How are you feeling? Are you okay?”

Hearing the familiar voice in her ear, Song Ye’s originally somewhat dazed expression became much more spirited, as if she had remembered something, and she suddenly turned her head. And then she saw the few people sitting in a circle next to her, in a spot of light, also looking at her.

He Qing, Chang Fei, Shi Ming, Guan Ling, and more than twenty other people from the Ning Mountain base. Song Ye might not be able to call them all by name, but she knew them all.

“You… how are you guys here?”

She was taken aback.

He Qing was sitting next to her, with a messy little ponytail at the back of her head, and her tight-fitting clothes outlined her curvy figure. At this moment, she was holding a bottle of water and drinking. Hearing her, she let out a cold snort. “How are we here? If we hadn’t come in time, you’d be dead. Do you know that?”

Song Ye was silent.

She remembered everything.

“Is Ji Tang here too?”

The injuries she had suffered before were too serious. Other than Ji Tang, she couldn’t think of any other healing ability user who could have restored her to her original state in such a short time.

Other than the fact that her physical strength couldn’t be restored, the external and internal organ injuries had all disappeared, all healed.

For an ordinary healing ability user, this would probably be impossible.

The ultimate healing technique was indeed worthy of being the strongest healing ability.

Even if healing ability users were rare, other than Ji Tang, Song Ye hadn’t actually met any others. But the two words “ultimate” also showed everything.

The so-called “ultimate” was infinite, and infinite, wasn’t that the strongest?!

“Yes, she’s here too. I didn’t want her to come.”

He Qing screwed the cap on the bottle in her hand and threw it into the backpack next to her. Even an empty water bottle was a rare resource in the apocalypse now. As long as it wasn’t broken, it could be used to hold water next time.

Even if it was broken, she had to find a use for it. In any case, she couldn’t just throw it away.

“What happened to you guys?”

He Qing asked Song Ye with confusion, “After Song Xun left last time, we had no news of you for half a year. Didn’t we agree to use the mutated white birds to contact each other if anything happened? Don’t you know we were worried to death!”

It had been fine for the first two months. After all, transportation was inconvenient in the apocalypse, and it had taken them almost half a year to get to the Sunshine Base before. But they would use the mutated white birds to contact each other once in a while, not only to prevent accidents, but also to report that they were safe so the others wouldn’t worry.

But this time, there had been no news at all.

After two months, they had started to worry. But they could still hold it in. But as time went on, they became more and more worried.

But who could they contact?

And besides, knowing that the situation here was not good, they had discussed it and had simply come over.

The situation in Menjing City was clearly beyond their expectations. Not to mention the danger, although it wasn’t impossible to move an inch, it was close.

Even though they knew the situation was not right, and they had made sufficient preparations before they came, of the twenty-seven people who had come, only twenty were left now.

Originally, with so many dangers, they didn’t want Ji Tang to come. After all, as a medical ability user, she didn’t have much combat power. But there was no other way. She had insisted on coming.

She had even threatened that if they didn’t take her, she would go on her own. He Qing and the others had no other choice. To prevent her from secretly running away, they could only take her with them.

Don’t doubt it. Ji Tang was good-natured, gentle, and easygoing. But she actually had this stubborn streak.

But that was also to be expected. After all, the few relatives she had in this world, her Alpha, and her only nephew were all missing. How could she not be anxious and angry?

It was also understandable.

He Qing thought that if it were her, she would probably also be anxious. But in reality, she was already very anxious. After all, Song Ye also had no news, right?

But this, in Song Ye’s heart, was a different story. Her entire being was stunned. She suddenly looked up at the person next to her, her face a mask of shock, her pupils uncontrollably constricting.

“What did you say? Half a year? What half a year?!”

He Qing was taken aback for a moment.

The others also all turned their gazes over, all with strange expressions. Chang Fei said, “It’s been half a year since Big Sis went back once and left Ning Mountain. Sister Song, what do you mean by that?”

Song Ye: “…”

“But, wasn’t it just a few days?”

She couldn’t believe it.

Infiltrating the underground passage space, and even entering the White Light Stone space, it had only been a few days, right?

How did she not know that in such a short time, half a year had actually passed?!

It was simply a fantasy.

But looking at He Qing and the others’ expressions, which did not seem to be fake, Song Ye was at a loss, truly not knowing what had happened. But what they said was also right. Anyone in this situation would be stunned.

Song Ye thought to herself, could it be that not only was Song Xun affected by the “Wronged,” but even they were?

Or was there something wrong with that underground space?

Otherwise, there was no way to explain the confusion of their perception of time.

But there was another point Song Ye couldn’t understand, and that was the White Light Stone space. They had been inside for most of the time. Could they have been affected without realizing it?

Not to mention that they hadn’t noticed at all. And even when they had left the space and had been surrounded by Zhao Yan and the corpses, it seemed they hadn’t seen anything suspicious in his mouth or on his face. Did that Zhao Yan know that they had been missing for half a year?

Song Ye rubbed her temples. She suddenly felt a headache coming on, but she also didn’t have time to think so much.

“Where’s Ji Tang?”

“She was taken away by Little Light.”

Taken into the White Light Stone space.

He Qing didn’t say it explicitly, but Song Ye had heard it.

She had been forced to bring everyone into the White Light Stone space before, and she had had to do it. But if possible, it was better not to expose the secrets of the White Light Stone.

So He Qing hadn’t been so detailed.

Knowing what was going on, Song Ye didn’t ask any more questions, just suppressed the doubt in her heart, took the water and food Shi Ming had handed her, and slowly ate to replenish her strength.

Then they exchanged their respective intelligence, mainly what had happened in the past half a year.

There wasn’t much to say on Song Ye’s side, just what had happened in the underground space, the existence of the “Wronged,” and the out-of-control Song Xun.

Perhaps for Song Ye, this half a year had been a short few days, but for the outside world, this half a year had been quite long.

So long that many things had happened, and had already happened, that she couldn’t have predicted, but were also within her expectations.

For example, the corpses—

They had completely appeared before everyone.

At first, no one knew where they had come from. They had just suddenly appeared and had started to attack the various bases.

They were fearless, their shapes strange, like walking corpses, just flesh. Because they had no life force to speak of, their hearts and other vital organs could not be their weaknesses.

To kill them, you had to cut off their heads, or completely destroy them. Not to mention other regions, just the North China region had suffered a lot of casualties as soon as they appeared.

Not to mention how hard they were to fight, but the fact that they couldn’t be killed was very difficult.

And especially, the more you fought, the more of them there were.

Later, when someone noticed that among these originally not-so-numerous guys, there were survivors who had just died a few days ago, everyone was shocked for a hundred years.

This thing even spreads like a virus?!

For a moment, not to mention the weaker bases, even the medium and large bases were afraid. They all sent for help from the First Base. Even Ning Mountain had been attacked once, but they had been beaten back.

In short, a single sentence was that everything outside was in chaos.

Even to come and find Song Ye and the others, the Ning Mountain side couldn’t possibly send too many people. Because the defense there was also very important and could not be lost.

The little ball of light flew back, and Song Ye had just finished a handful of rice. She was just about to unscrew the cap of her cup and drink some water when it came back, which meant there was news.

And it seemed it wasn’t good news. Otherwise, the person who had come back should have been Ji Tang.

But, she didn’t know who had had an accident.

Leaving Chang Fei to lead the team, He Qing followed Song Ye and stood up. The two of them went to a remote place and were brought into the space by the little ball of light. But as soon as they entered, they saw a bloody scene.

It was a bloody scene that was very out of place with the fruitful black earth and the herds of cattle and sheep. It was divided into two sides. On one side, there were about seven people. Although they were scattered, you could clearly feel the steady rise and fall of their chests, proving that they had survived. And on the other side, the three people…

“Sister Song…”

Ji Chao was at a loss for words, his expression grim.

Song Ye wasn’t a fool. How could she not understand?

“I’m sorry. These three, their injuries are too serious.”

Ji Tang sighed. The three of them were too seriously injured. They had already died before she had arrived, and there was no way to save them.

Even with ultimate healing, you couldn’t bring the dead back to life.

She said sorry, but Song Ye could only shake her head and sigh silently. She turned her head and said, “Then what about A’Xun? Have you seen her? How is her condition?”

“A very strange state.”

Ji Tang walked to the person who was placed on the bed, who was not yet awake. “Her body is fine, but if you say it was caused by a mental factor, there are no obvious mental abnormalities on her body.”

“In short, everything is normal.”

Hearing Ji Tang’s judgment, Song Ye was taken aback. How did she feel this was so wrong? “No mental abnormalities? But she clearly is…”

Her voice was abruptly cut off, and Song Ye asked again, “Then what do you plan to do?”

“The anesthetic is about to wear off. Let her wake up first.”

Ji Tang nodded. “I asked the little ball of light to call you in because of this.”

Her fighting ability was not good. If Song Xun lost control, she couldn’t control her. And at this time, she needed someone who could control her to be there, to avoid any bigger problems.

“Okay!”

There was no time to lose. Anyway, they had eaten their fill and their wounds had healed, and they had their strength back. Song Ye took another anesthetic and stood on either side of Song Xun with He Qing.

But after about ten minutes, as the effect of the anesthetic slowly wore off, Song Xun’s fingers also gradually regained their initiative.

They slowly moved, and then her arms, her eyes, her legs…

With every movement, the people around her became more and more nervous, especially Song Ye and Ji Chao. After all, only they had seen Song Xun in her out-of-control state.

That look, it was just…

Her eyes glowed with a dark green, flickering color, like a strange, burning life.

Whoosh!

Just like now.

She pounced, but Ji Tang didn’t dodge or evade—
