Chapter 204 223. Awakening

After Xu Zhi woke up, she didn't have time to see her surroundings clearly. When she realized that she was "awake", the first thought that came to her mind was: I am still alive?

Although my thoughts were still a little confused, I couldn't remember who I was or what had happened.

Xu Zhi vaguely remembered that this was not the first time she woke up after leaving the federal world. It was just that the last time she was awake for only a dozen seconds, or maybe even shorter, and the last thing she saw was a woman's figure.

The moment she passed out, many bad possibilities flashed through her mind, but the only one that she didn't have was that she would be well taken care of until she woke up.

So now, did that woman do something?

Xu Zhi subconsciously ruled out the option that the other party simply picked her up and took her home out of kindness.

But before she could think too much about it, the intense pain and dizziness in her brain seemed to warn her that now was not the time to think and she should rest.

But Xu Zhi couldn't rest in peace unless she figured out her current situation. When she tried to observe her surroundings, she was stunned to find that she couldn't see clearly.

She thought she was just too tired and exhausted in the rain, so she was dizzy and couldn't see clearly, but when she opened her eyes again, the scene in front of her was still blurry, as if there was a thick fog and everything was a blur.

She wanted to raise her hands, but when she supported herself on the bed and tried to exert force, she felt a sharp pain all over her body and instantly lost control of her limbs. Her body fell back again before it could even get a centimeter away from the bed.

Realizing that her body was a little tattered at the moment, Xu Zhi tried to circulate her extraordinary energy again. However, it would have been fine if she hadn't tried. As soon as she tried, a sharp pain and buzzing sounded from her brain, as if someone was scratching glass with nails, or someone was scraping her bones with a sharp knife. Cold sweat instantly covered her forehead, and Xu Zhi stopped trying almost immediately.

Even so, her condition did not ease much, and the pain continued for a long time before stopping. Finally, Xu Zhi realized that after passing through that "door", her body and mind might have suffered some kind of backlash. Together with the unhealable wounds on her body, she now seemed to be no different from a disabled person.

There was not a trace of extraordinary energy in her body, and because she had previously recklessly used two different kinds of extraordinary energy at the same time, after arriving at the place where the rules were perfected, the belated backlash almost destroyed the extraordinary circuits in her body, and the extraordinary level that had been promoted through abnormal channels was also knocked back, or even worse.

But the most crucial thing was the injuries she had suffered before. Because she had lost her ability to heal herself, they were now piling up in her body, making it extremely difficult for her to even move a finger.

She probably really needs some time to rest.

but

Where are her family?

Now that she has come to a world with complete rules, it should not be so easy for her to merge with her clan, so where are they now?

Xu Zhi felt it carefully and found no trace of her clan members in her body. They were probably separated from her after coming to the real world. Yes, if they had not been separated, the backlash she would suffer now would probably be more serious.

She could feel that several of her followers were still alive, but she could do nothing. Even giving them orders to come to her would require extraordinary energy. Now she could feel the extraordinary energy floating in the air, but she could not absorb it.

Her body seemed to be leaking air, having been severely damaged after the battle. Perhaps it was due to the impact of the [Cup], or perhaps it was a conflict of attributes, or perhaps it was the backlash of falling after forcibly increasing her level. In short, she now seemed unable to actively absorb extraordinary energy.

Once she made such an attempt, her brain and body would begin to feel severe pain, as if a broken machine had been forcibly turned on and would collapse from overload in the next moment.

In short, if she wants to contact her clansmen, she must first repair her body or at least absorb some extraordinary energy.

But what made Xu Zhi uneasy was that the other members of the clan seemed to be fine according to her perception, at least, they were all still alive, except for the little alien species, whose aura was not very good.

She could sense it, but it was so fleeting, as if it would disappear in the next second.

It was as if the little alien was on the brink of life and death.

What's going on?

Xu Zhi almost immediately thought of the order she gave, asking the little alien to take her through the thunderstorm. Was he seriously injured because of this?

Regardless of the pain in her body that felt like being tortured to death, Xu Zhi tried to move again, but at this moment, the sound of a door closing was heard, followed by footsteps that were getting closer and closer to her. It was obvious that someone was coming.

Xu Zhi looked up in that direction, but once again realized that there was something wrong with his eyes. Everything he saw was blurry and he couldn't see clearly at all.

So a rare look of confusion appeared on her face, and when Qi Yanxin came in, he saw this scene.

"Are you awake?"

She approached Xu Zhi who was lying on the bed, her eyes falling on the girl's forehead covered in cold sweat and the towel that had fallen to the side at some point.

Qi Yanxin reached out to pick up the towel. Xu Zhi didn't seem to see her movements clearly. He just looked at her blankly and asked, "Who are you? Where is this place?"

Qi Yanxin first told her his name and then said, "This is the slums in the Plain Industrial Zone."

After saying that, seeing that Xu Zhi still looked confused, Qi Yanxin asked again: "Where are you from?"

It was still difficult to see clearly in the rainy night, but after giving the girl a bath, she discovered that the girl she picked up actually had a beauty that shouldn't appear in the slums. She was too exquisite, like those young ladies who only appeared on TV.

Especially when she opened her eyes at this moment, her special light gray pupils made her look even more unlike that of an ordinary person. Qi Yanxin tightened her hands that were twisting the towel slightly, realizing that she might have picked up a big trouble.

"I?"

Xu Zhi hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't remember."

If you can't speak, you can only lie.

"Don't remember?" The woman's tone was a little surprised, and Xu Zhi couldn't tell whether her expression was also surprised.

An unidentified beautiful girl appeared in the rainy night, with many horrific wounds on her body and a pair of eyes of special color that meant she was extraordinary. This was really not a trouble a scavenger like her should deal with.

Qi Yanxin sighed: "If you don't remember, then don't remember."

"Today is September 13, 3184. I found you in the garbage dump. When I found you, you were already seriously injured and unconscious."

"If you want to leave, I will pretend nothing happened. I never picked you up, and I never saw you."

"If you don't know where to go and you're willing to stay and live with me, I will treat you as my own sister and do my best to take care of you."

The woman's voice was calm and serious. She looked into the girl's blank yet beautiful gray eyes and asked, "How is it?"
