Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 225

Chapter 225

With the helicopter, the speed was not ordinary. Song Ye was in seclusion and had not yet come out. Not at ease with Song Xun going alone, this time Xia Jin and Ai Fei accompanied her.

Song Xun didn’t mind.

She just wanted to get to the Sunshine Base as soon as possible, to know what had happened.

And even more, to know the whereabouts of Ji Tang and Ji Jinning.

This was her first time at the Sunshine Base, but Xia Jin knew the location. As soon as Li Qianjin’s helicopter approached the high main gate of the base, it was immediately discovered by the patrolling ability users.

They weren’t hiding either, so it would have been strange if they hadn’t been discovered.

“Stop, stop! Which base are you from? If you don’t stop, don’t blame us for being impolite…”

The people below were shouting, not at all polite. And with Song Xun in an extremely bad mood, her eyes red with blood, how could she speak to the enemy calmly? She opened the cabin door and leaped down.

With a surge of lightning, she directly raised her hand and sent a bolt of lightning.

Crackling!

The silver-blue current, filled with her angry blow, struck down, and with a rumble, it almost turned the entire sky into a sea of lightning.

In the base, at the command post, it was a three-story small building, not very tall, but as the command post of the Sunshine Base, it covered a large area. Today, many people were gathered here, all of them the high-level officials of the base.

There were about seventeen or eighteen of them, and they seemed to be discussing something, all of them with serious expressions.

Thump thump…

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came, and the door was suddenly pushed open. Because it was too hurried, it even made a “bang” sound.

The conference room suddenly became quiet. Many people frowned, clearly unhappy at being interrupted. But the noisy sound was gone, and the rumbling thunder from outside could be heard from a distance, and it was even clearer.

Thunder?

But how could there be thunder in broad daylight?!

Under the gazes of the people in the room, the ability user with the guard team badge came rushing in in a panic. Because he was too anxious, he even accidentally fell to the ground.

The guard team captain, Chen San, was displeased and scolded, “What a mess! Get up quickly!”

His voice was like a muffled thunder, and it immediately scared the ability user. He quickly got up, panting heavily.

Chen San’s eyes flickered, and he stood up. “What happened? Why are you so flustered?”

“Captain, someone is attacking the base! She’s too powerful!”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck, and the entire conference room suddenly became silent.

Most of them, alright, all of them were stunned for a moment. No one could believe that someone would actually attack the Sunshine Base.

Isn’t this just looking for death?

“How many people are there?”

“They came by helicopter. It seems there’s only, only one.”

Bang!

Chen San’s eyebrows were raised, and he slammed his palm on the table, so angry he was about to burst. “Just one person scared you like this? Are you all just eating for free?”

“But, Captain, she’s killed a lot of people…”

Hearing this, Chen San was even angrier. “I’d like to see what kind of bastard it is, to dare to come to my Sunshine Base and go on a killing spree alone.”

The Chen family leader, Chen Liang, who was sitting at the head of the table, had a thoughtful look in his eyes. “In the current North China region, to have the guts, the strength, and the helicopter reserves, it can only be them.”

“Big brother, you mean the people from Ningcheng?”

Chen Lie said, “But that’s not right. It doesn’t make sense either. If they were to directly attack the base, how could they have just sent one person?”

And just one person could suppress the entire base guard team to the point where they couldn’t even fight back and had the base gate broken. Then who would the visitor be…

There were many doubts, and it was really hard to figure it out.

But Chen San was too lazy to think so much. He suddenly stood up, and his large, calloused palm grabbed the hilt of his knife and he walked out. “I don’t care who she is. If she dares to kill my men, I’ll make her pay with her life.”

He walked too fast, and the others couldn’t even stop him. They hurried to follow. No matter what, it was just a delusion to speculate too much. They had to go and see.

But just as they left the command post, they felt it. Even though they were still far away, when they looked up, they could see the dark sky of the eternal night, with thunder and lightning crackling, and one after another, they were exploding. At a glance, you couldn’t see the end. The boundless pressure, with one thunderclap after another, pressed down, making one’s heart feel oppressed.

A lightning ability!

Who is it?!

Watching everyone leave, Chen Liang pulled his two brothers, Chen Wen and Chen Wu. “Something’s not right. The visitor is probably not friendly. To be on the safe side, you take Chen Che and the others to the secret door of the base immediately. If the situation is not good, you take them and run.”

“Family head!”

Chen Wu still wanted to say something, but a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, right in front of them. Even though they were so far away, with just one bolt of lightning, the entire ground was split open into a deep pit. This was enough to show how dangerous the situation at the main gate of the base was.

Chen Wen didn’t say any more, pulled his brother, and ran.

They could die, but the family’s legacy could not be broken. The Chen family, someone had to live.

In front of the main gate of the base, just as Chen Liang and his men approached, and they were still some distance away, they could already smell an exceptionally pungent smell of blood and a clear smell of burnt electricity.

The smell was very strong.

It made one wonder, how many people had died in front to have such a strong smell?

By the time Chen Liang and his men had quickened their pace and had quickly arrived at the main gate, they were immediately stunned by the scene before them. Many of the Sunshine Base’s people were lying on the ground, scattered. Some were dead, but some were still alive.

The dead were scattered all over the ground, with bloodstains splattered everywhere. The ones who were not dead were screaming in pain. Other than the person who was standing in the air, with lightning under their feet, there was no one else standing.

Watching with his own eyes as the last Chen family member was struck by lightning and suffocated, even if Chen Liang was in awe in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger. And Chen San was even more direct. He was a hot-tempered person to begin with. He picked up his knife and rushed over with a single stride.

His ability was strength enhancement. As soon as he got close, he held his knife with both hands and slashed down from top to bottom, with ten out of ten of his strength.

But his opponent was Song Xun. A full-power blow would naturally not succeed. She raised her arm, aimed, and with just two fingers, a flash of lightning passed, and it instantly pierced through Chen San’s head.

Bang!

And then, like a watermelon falling, it exploded, and in an instant, blood splattered everywhere. And then a muffled sound, and the headless body fell to the ground.

It was mixed in with the countless corpses on the ground.

The extremely bloody scene instantly scared the others so much their faces turned pale. Among them, Chen San, as the captain of the guard, was already very strong. Not to mention he was proficient in the Chen family’s innate boxing, and even his ability was an enhanced type.

But even a person like him, he hadn’t even been able to take a single blow.

This person…

Chen Liang’s face was pale and grim. He still stood up. “I don’t know where my Sunshine Base has offended you, Your Excellency. Just say it. Why be so cruel? We…”

“Where’s Sang Ye?”

Song Xun was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. Her purpose in coming here was to find Sang Ye. What was the point of saying so much? Her wife and children were missing. Where did she have the leisure to be so considerate?

And besides, the Sunshine Base was an enemy to begin with.

As for her being cruel, it was fine. Wasn’t the apocalypse so cruel?

But, hearing the two words “Sang Ye,” Chen Liang’s pupils suddenly constricted.

“You’re here to find the base leader. Who are you?”

Chen Liang said sharply, “The base leader is not here. She has been out for several years and has not returned. If you have a private grudge, please do not go on a killing spree at the Sunshine Base.”

“Where’s Sang Ye?”

“I’ve already said the base leader is not here. She…”

Crackling!

Lightning surged, and the silver-white sky suddenly fell. The entire ground was split open into a deep, huge gully.

Song Xun was holding it in. “I said, where’s Sang Ye?”

Faced with this power, everyone’s heart pounded, and they didn’t dare to look at her directly, and they didn’t dare to speak.

Song Xun gritted her teeth, and the next moment, she raised her hand and another bolt of lightning, which instantly occupied all their vision, just lightly passed by, and blood splattered everywhere.

Chen Liang watched as his clansman fell, and his pupils were filled with unwillingness. He had no more breath.

“You…”

“I’ll ask one last time. Where’s Sang Ye?”

Song Xun’s eyes were already unable to suppress her irritability and cold killing intent. “If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll wipe out your Chen family.”

Their eyes met, and looking at the lightning that flashed in those eyes, which were like a dark pool, Chen Liang swallowed and felt a cold, suffocating feeling.

He will die.

She’s telling the truth.

Drip!

A drop of cold sweat uncontrollably slid down his forehead.

Finally, he was scared. “I’m not lying. Sang Ye is really not here. She’s been missing for several years. She disappeared during the extreme cold.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people from the Chen family and even the original high-level officials of the Sunshine Base were all taken aback. Clearly, they all didn’t know about this.

Chen Liang didn’t look at anyone. Seeing that Song Xun didn’t believe him, his speech also couldn’t help but become faster. “It’s true. Even if you kill all of us, you won’t find her. She’s not at the base at all. No one knows where she went.”

Xia Jin and Ai Fei had finally found a chance to get close to the base gate. Chen Liang didn’t know Ai Fei, but he knew Xia Jin.

“Base Leader Xia, is this your friend? I’m telling the truth.”

Chen Liang smiled bitterly. “For these few years, I’ve been managing the Sunshine Base. The base leader has never shown her face.”

He looked up and said, “To be blunt, the Sunshine Base has long been surnamed Chen.”

A male Alpha with a cold face, who was a confidant of Sang Ye, opened his mouth. “You’re lying. The base leader appeared last month and said she was going to the back mountain for seclusion.”

“That’s right. I saw it too.”

“…”

Several people spoke up one after another, all of them Sang Ye’s people. Chen Liang said, “That was someone I found to impersonate her.”

“If the base leader didn’t appear once in a while, you guys probably would have quit long ago.”

Song Xun couldn’t be bothered with so much. She raised her hand and sent a bolt of lightning. With her strength, and with her sudden burst of power, Chen Liang couldn’t dodge at all and was hit squarely.

“Family head!”

“Song Xun…”

The others were all shocked, and so was Xia Jin. She was afraid Song Xun would go on a killing spree and kill everyone in the base.

But Song Xun just waved her hand. “Xia Jin, test if what he’s saying is true.”

Xia Jin immediately understood what she meant. With a wave of her word-spirit ability, a truth rune shot out, straight at Chen Liang.

His body was stiff from the electricity, and his consciousness was numb. Whatever Song Xun asked, he answered.

“Where’s Sang Ye?”

“I don’t know. She’s not at the base anymore.”

It’s actually true. Song Xun frowned. “In these few months, have you seen He Qing?”

“Yes.”

“When was the last time?”

“Four months ago.”

“Wasn’t that when the city was just starting to be built?” Ai Fei said.

Song Xun narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure that was the last time? You definitely haven’t seen her since, right?”

“Yes.”

Xia Jin said in a low voice, “It seems we won’t be able to find any news here. What do we do next? Do we go back to Ningcheng?”

Song Xun pondered for a moment. “You guys go back first. Just let Zhan Qing follow me.”

“Where are you going?”

“Menjing City—”
