Chapter 143 Fire Stone
The original owner never expected that she would meet Lin Fengmu again and usher in the apocalypse.
Her feelings for Lin Fengmu were rekindled as they spent more time together...
"Now that he's appeared, are you sure you haven't been tempted?"
"Sure."
Yu Yao spoke with certainty because she truly wasn't tempted.
Lin Fengmu is a good person, but 80% of the original owner's suffering came from him!
How worthless must she be for her to fall for Lin Fengmu again?
Does this do justice to the original owner of the body?
Besides, all she wants now is to level up and live a healthy and complete life!
There are some issues she has never been distracted by.
Luo Mei then asked, "And what about after that?"
"Who knows what the future holds? I'll only start thinking about all those messy things when I no longer have to worry about everyone's safety all the time."
They may seem safe now, but in reality, they are surrounded by wolves and fraught with danger.
The evolution of zombies is faster than imagined; she can't just stay in this Thousand Soul Mountain hollow and die.
Luo Mei raised an eyebrow, "What a mess... fine, fine, my heart is as hard as iron~"
In Luo Mei's heart, no one in this world is worthy of her sisters!
Lin Fengmu won't do either!
However, seeing Yu Yao's confident demeanor, she instead... felt sorry for Lin Fengmu.
Luo Mei didn't say anything more, but turned her head to continue watching the variety show.
He would occasionally click his tongue in disbelief at the guest.
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow. "You know a lot."
"Of course~ I'm really good at judging people, especially men."
"Oh? You've talked about it?"
At this point, Luo Mei recalled many past events and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"What's the point of talking about it? Every time there's just a little spark, my brother and that second brother ruin it. Anyone who didn't know better would think he has a crush on me!"
Yu Yao's eyebrows slowly rose.
"what???"
Luo Mei was still cursing, "You wicked bastard who can't stand to see others do well!"
"Why can't it be that your second brother really has a crush on you?"
"Impossible." Luo Mei denied it decisively. "We've known each other for over ten years, and I've never sensed even a trace of affection from him beyond camaraderie. He said that dating would interfere with missions. Listen to that, listen to that—is that even human language? He's just pure evil!"
Yu Yao blinked. "Ah... really..."
"Yes!"
"......oh."
Well, I really don't understand.
One person pretends to know what they don't, and the other two are... the more they talk, the more confusing it becomes.
......
The two stood close together and spoke softly.
So no one expected that this conversation would be heard clearly by Chi Heng, who was downstairs in the media room watching a movie with a mute theme!
Under the astonished gazes of Dongfang Jin and Jiang Yi standing nearby.
He turned the sound back on with a cold expression.
Although his eyes were still fixed on the big screen.
But the soul had already flown away for quite some time.
He has only one thought on his mind right now: Xiao Qi liked Lin Fengmu!
In the future, Lin Fengmu might also be considered!
Tsk tsk tsk!
What a distortion of the facts!
Taking things out of context!
Even unscrupulous marketing accounts would willingly admit defeat after hearing this!
......
Because I personally don't want Yu Yao and Lin Fengmu to meet again.
So when Elder Lei personally contacted Chi Heng via radio, wanting to borrow Yu Yao to participate in a mission.
Chi Heng instinctively refused!
"What's wrong, Ah Heng? Is it difficult for you?" Old Lei asked calmly.
Chi Heng hummed in agreement. "It's the coldest time of year now, so it's not suitable to do anything too dangerous."
Old Lei sighed.
I understand your concerns...
If the base hadn't desperately needed the Firestone, and if the only healing-type ability user in the base hadn't already met with an accident during a previous mission...
With no one available at the base, Elder Lei had no intention of seeking out Chi Heng.
He knew Chi Heng's temperament well.
But if he didn't ask the other old guys to do it, given their tempers, they might easily anger Chi Heng.
Old Lei reassured her, "Don't worry, everyone will protect her. She only needs to focus on treating everyone."
Chi Heng frowned.
What Yu Yao least wants is to become a tool for others to heal.
Now, I really don't want her to go!
and......
"Old Lei... Little Seven, she doesn't..."
"Aheng, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. With your dog-like temper, do you even deserve to awaken the power of healing?"
"..."
The dog-tempered knife finally stabbed back!
Chi Heng was silent for a moment, but still refused: "Elder Lei, I'm sorry. At least for now, others don't know about Xiao Qi's abilities."
Old Lei sighed on the other end of the phone, his aged voice pleading, "Aheng, I'm begging you, even if it means losing face! This mission concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people at the Kyoto base."
Chi Heng understood that Mr. Lei did not want to morally blackmail anyone.
Rather, it was because he genuinely cared about the people and didn't want to see so many people die in vain.
If someone has the ability, why would they risk so many lives to keep it a secret?
It can only be said that people ultimately have different considerations.
"But Elder Lei, compared to Xiao Qi's safety, I don't care how many lives are at stake."
Then, a long silence fell between the two people on the wireless phone.
It wasn't until Old Lei couldn't help but say softly, "Aheng, you should ask the person involved for their opinion."
He didn't believe that someone who could awaken healing abilities would be a cold-blooded and indifferent person!
Hearing this, Chi Heng leaned against the wall of the boxing gym, watching from afar as Jiang Yi repeatedly knocked him down in the ring.
The girl, who kept getting up and rushing forward, had increasingly dark eyes.
......
When Yu Yao was completely outmatched by Jiang Yi for an hour, she walked out of the shower room carrying Mo Yu.
Unexpectedly, they saw Chi Heng waiting outside.
Chi Heng certainly didn't want Yu Yao to participate in any missions.
However, he felt it was necessary to respect Yu Yao's own ideas.
Instead of making decisions for her unilaterally.
"Boss?"
"Hmm." Chi Heng's gaze lingered on Yu Yao's smooth black hair for a moment.
Finally, Mo Yu paused for a second on his body and asked, "Xiao Yi was a bit rough, are you alright?"
"No."
"That's good."
"Hmm." Yu Yao smiled, seeing that Chi Heng clearly wanted to say something but was unwilling to, and couldn't help but ask, "Is something the matter?"
Chi Heng paused for a few seconds, then finally nodded.
"Ah."
"what's up?"
That's what you said!
"..."
Chi Heng's silence made Yu Yao tilt her head in confusion, her long eyelashes fluttering, her peach blossom eyes full of questions.
Chi Heng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and finally he made up his mind and said, "Elder Lei from Kyoto hopes that you can participate in a search mission as a physician, but you have the right to refuse!"
Lei Lao is betting on whether Yu Yao is a soft-hearted person.
But he made the wrong bet.
Yu Yao is not!
In particular, they do not want to be used as tools and coerced by others using their moral character!
She originally wanted to refuse immediately.
But then I suddenly remembered something!
So he asked, "A search mission? Is it to... find flint in the volcanic cluster in northern Shanxi Province?"
Given the current weather conditions, she couldn't think of any other task she absolutely had to do besides going to northern Shanxi.
Chi Heng's eyes widened.
"how do you know?"
According to descriptions from people with supernatural abilities who recently visited Shanxi Province, the volcanic cluster in the northernmost part of the province has been unusually active recently.
Inside, a perpetually burning spark was generated, with an extremely high temperature!
With each volcanic eruption, many of them were scattered on the volcano.
Thanks to the existence of this flint, northern Shanxi Province has taken the lead in escaping the extreme cold and entering a warm spring!
The daytime high temperature can even reach 20°C!
At the foot of the volcano, the temperature was even higher than during the recent extreme heat.
Therefore, the higher-ups at the Kyoto base decided to send someone to find the flint and bring it back to the Kyoto base.
The problem is that the flint is too hot to be moved by hand and can only be transported by spatial ability users.
Moreover, a powerful fire beast gradually condensed around the flint!
They won't run down the volcano and hurt people, but they won't allow outsiders to easily go up the volcano and take away the flint!
......
Kyoto Base desperately needs flint!
Even though Lei Lao and others took proactive measures to prepare for the extreme cold.
The first night of extreme cold still resulted in a quarter of the people at the Kyoto base dying in their sleep.
Every night after that, people died from the extreme cold!
Lei Lao and the others were at their wits' end, growing increasingly old with worry.
The first person to think of Yu Yao was Nie Zhuoying's grandfather.
Old Lei even tried to cover for them, but those old guys were all shrewd and calculating.
In the end, it all came down to Old Lei.
Perhaps she is a glimmer of hope...
