Natural disasters + zombies (extreme heat, insect plagues, extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy rain, and other disasters followed one after another). Xie Purou had just completed her previous mission ...
Chu Ling shook her head and continued to inspect and guide. "Where are you from?"
There's nothing you can't talk about before the apocalypse. Qian Zhengzhi tried his best to maintain a good relationship with the healing power users: "We were from H City before the apocalypse."
"H City is so far away from here!" Chu Ling pretended to be curious and asked, "How did you get to the Ninth Base?"
Qian Zhengzhi said embarrassedly: "It's my fault for this."
"I was thinking of taking my old lady out for some fun when I had some free time. We were traveling here when the zombie outbreak happened."
"It's just bad luck. I can't contact my previous relatives anymore. My mother is still talking about putting down roots and going home to visit before she dies."
Is the old lady being unreasonable? Actually, not really. The old lady only had such a small request, and she had never said anything even though she had been suffering with him.
It would have been better if I hadn’t acted on impulse and followed the online trend of “going out and seeing the world”.
But then he thought, "If we hadn't come, we might not have survived the early stages of the apocalypse. We are lucky. As a human being, the most precious thing is to be content."
After Qian Zhengzhi finished speaking, he realized that he had been talking all along and shut his mouth awkwardly.
"It's okay." Chu Ling used her supernatural powers to check on Old Lady Qian's bones. "There's a slight fracture in your calf. I think it's the inflammation that caused the fever, plus the shock she got from her old age. I'll use my supernatural powers to treat it, and you can just go back and take some medicine."
After all, healing psychics are not real doctors. They can just use their powers to probe into the patient's body to feel what's wrong with the patient, and the treatment time is very short.
Chu Ling glanced at the house number and the name of the resident on their note and quickly asked, "Is your last name Qian? It's a rare surname."
"Yes, this surname is easy to write and remember. If you, little girl, meet a girl with the same surname as me and there is a girl named Qian Wushuang who is about your age, you can tell her or tell me." Qian Zhengzhi just said it casually.
In the apocalypse, it is very common for people to ask strangers about each other's families. Qian Zhengzhi was just trying his luck and had no hope at all.
After all, the Ninth Base where they are located is very far away from H City. It takes a whole day to fly there, so it is not easy to meet their family members.
He subconsciously thought that the base asked them to seek treatment from healing people with special abilities, and that the healing people here were also sent by the base. He never thought that Chu Ling would come from somewhere else.
"Qian Wushuang?" Chu Ling folded her hands, suppressed her inner excitement, and continued to probe: "This name sounds familiar."
The surname Qian is not common. Qian Zhengzhi was excited when he heard her say that, and tried to recall the time when he saw his niece a few years ago and describe it.
"She is a student, studying in H City..." Qian Zhengzhi found embarrassedly that he could not remember.
When my niece was young, they often went out to play together, but they rarely saw each other as they each had their own things to do, and they could only see each other during the holidays.
"Is she studying at H University in H City? I go to that school!"
"You are still a student in H City? But how did you get so far to the Ninth Base? Was you captured by the base?" Qian Zhengzhi said in a low voice.
He couldn't figure out the connection and was already wondering if the base was forcibly keeping people with healing abilities.
But if that was the case, then it was very likely that his niece had awakened her healing ability and was brought here together, so she knew the healing ability user in front of her.
Thinking of this, Qian Zhengzhi became excited, and even the confused and feverish old lady Qian became more energetic.
Old Lady Qian grabbed Chu Ling's hand and said, "Girl, do you know my granddaughter?"
"I'm from H City. The base didn't coerce us."
Chu Ling did not break away from Old Lady Qian's touch: "If the person you know is named Qian Wushuang like the person I know, then it is possible. However, there are so many people with the same name in the world that I can't guarantee it."
"Then... girl, can you leave me an address? After this natural disaster is over, we can go there and have a look. At least there is hope." Qian Zhengzhi originally wanted to leave a phone number, but he realized that there were no mobile phones available at the base at this time.
The Ninth Base is now equipped with solar power generation. Even if we find our old cell phone and can turn it on and use it, there is no signal and we cannot contact them by phone.
Chu Ling thought about it. She had followed the shop owner all the way on the cruise ship, and the owner had not hidden the fact that he had lit up the third base from them.
If the third base can be lit up by the shop owner, then the ninth base can be lit up as well.
"How about this, you can leave me your address. If there's a chance, I'll ask Qian Wushuang to come over and take a look. It would be even better if you have a token for me to take back and show her." Chu Ling suggested.
Qian Zhengzhi naturally agreed, saying, "I don't have any keepsakes around here. Back in the internet age, there weren't many good things. Even online shopping is so advanced now, let alone keepsakes."
"How about this, I'll write down our previous address, could you please pass it on to your friend?" Qian Zhengzhi said cautiously, looking at Chu Ling's expression.
This is exactly what Chu Ling wanted. If there was anything that could prove her identity, her detailed address before the end of the world would be the best information to confirm her identity.
"good."
Seeing Chu Ling agreed, Qian Zhengzhi took out a dozen extra crystal cores that he had brought with him when he went out.
"These are all we had before we left. Thank you for helping me pass them on..."
He handed the crystal core to Chu Ling, while being wary that Old Lady Qian might be reluctant to part with it.
I felt relieved when I saw that Old Mrs. Qian didn't make any unnecessary movements.
In fact, he was worrying too much. Old Lady Qian had the same idea as him.
They finally got news of their relatives. The school, name and city all matched. These basic pieces of information gave them a lot of hope.
How can you not feel good when asking someone to do something for you? Old Mrs. Qian is an experienced person, so she knows the ins and outs of this.
Chu Ling quickly refused: "No, no, Qian Wushuang and I have a good relationship, it's not a big deal to help transfer it."
In order to prevent Qian Zhengzhi from taking the opportunity to get involved, Chu Ling did not completely believe him and only said that their relationship was pretty good.
Worried that Qian Zhengzhi might insist, Chu Ling added, "We have regulations for helping with treatment. We can't take more crystal cores than necessary, otherwise we'd be breaking the rules."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhengzhi no longer insisted, but just kept thanking Chu Ling with Old Lady Qian.
Xie Purou noticed the unusual interaction here and walked over to look at Chu Ling with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Ling said frankly: "These two seem to be Qian Wushuang's uncle and grandmother."
