Chapter 355: Ominous Premonition

Qiao Yu pursed her lips.

Cheng Sinian's words are credible.

But this news plunged them into a deeper fog.

If Ling Shu's abnormality was just a reaction to the post-apocalyptic world, then it would be fine. But if he was under the influence of some drug...

Who could have done that?

Is it Han Ming again?

If it is still the work of Han Ming... doesn't that mean that they have not yet fully mastered the medicine developed by that madman Han Ming?

And it can cause schizophrenia...

This is obviously a psychotropic drug!

This is not good news.

"Did Ling Shu show any other obvious abnormalities the day you noticed she hadn't polished her shoes?"

After hearing Qiao Yu's question, Cheng Sinian did not speak immediately, but remained silent for a while, as if he was thinking carefully.

Luo Zhenzhen tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking first: "It seems there's nothing left..."

"No, there is!" Cheng Sinian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he suddenly remembered something, and interrupted Luo Zhenzhen: "It's weakness."

"weak?"

"Yes." Cheng Sinian nodded. "She seemed very tired that day, almost exhausted."

Fatigue is not something that deserves special attention.

Because of the need to collect a large amount of rainwater, each major military region within the base urgently built a large water reservoir.

The soldiers in the military district need to constantly replace the water collection containers every day, and then move the containers filled with water onto the vehicles and transport them to the reservoir.

After a whole day, even for an alien, fatigue is inevitable.

But since this issue was noticed and raised by Cheng Sinian, there must be a reason for it.

"That's right... I finally know where that strange feeling in my heart came from! It's fatigue!" Cheng Sinian seemed to be still immersed in his discovery, and murmured in a daze.

Luo Zhenzhen tilted her head when she heard this, "Anian...what do you mean?"

Cheng Sinian suddenly raised his head and looked at everyone. "The people in the military district work every day. Even the aliens will be a little tired at the end of the day. But have you noticed? Ling Shu has never been like this before. He is even in better shape than before the rain!"

After hearing what Cheng Sinian said, Qiao Yu couldn't help but think about it carefully.

It seems to be true.

Every time they saw Ling Shu recently, she looked full of energy and even looked much younger than when they first met her.

"That's a questionable point." Seeing Qiao Yu's affirmative expression, Cheng Sinian continued, "She works just like the other mercenaries every day, so why is she the only one in such good shape?"

"And it was precisely because she had been in such good shape before that her fatigue that day was particularly noticeable."

Indeed. Qiao Yu touched his chin.

But……

"Besides carrying and transporting water, did Ling Shu do anything else that day? No, I should say, has she done anything special these past few days?"

"We don't know that... We weren't following her the entire time. I only saw her talking to the fake 'Li Wencai' when Zhenzhen and I were out for a stroll."

"If we really knew what she had done, we wouldn't have to worry about it here."

"Tsk." Qiao Yu frowned slightly. "Why do things seem to be getting more and more complicated? He even developed a second personality."

Cheng Sinian scratched his brow. "But Ling Shu has definitely never left the barracks. There are so many people here, so she probably wouldn't do anything too outrageous, right? And judging by Ling Shu's mumbling and her reactions every time she sees us, even if she does have a second personality, her primary and secondary personalities are aware of each other's existence."

"So I want to ask you... could it be parasitic?"

Qiao Yu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Among the parasites I know of, there's never been one like this."

"But it doesn't rule out the possibility of a new alien species."

After all, her knowledge is limited.

"So what should we do now?" Cheng Sinian fiddled with his hair in frustration. "We can't arrest them, and we can't ask them... Is there nothing we can do but wait?"

Qiao Yu sighed softly, "Now besides waiting, is there anything else we can do?"

"But we can find an opportunity to ask Professor Kang and Professor Shen and see if there are any similar life forms among the mutant plants and animals we brought back."

Cheng Sinian sighed, tilted his neck back, and said resignedly, "Alright. This is the only way."

However, no one at this time had expected that before they had the opportunity to ask Professor Kang and Professor Shen, problems had already arisen at the base.

--

On the tenth day, the rain gradually subsided.

The survivors were all frightened by the previous extreme weather, and seeing that the heavy rain was about to stop, they all took the time to collect rainwater.

But at this moment, the alarm at the base gate suddenly rang out in the night sky late one night.

Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu quickly jumped up from the space capsule bed as soon as the alarm sounded.

Qiao Yu's face was slightly stern. He quickly changed his clothes and looked out the window. "What's going on? Is this an alien attack?"

"I don't know." Jiang Zhan shook his head slightly, "This place is too far from the base gate. I can't sense it."

As soon as Jiang Zhan finished speaking, the two heard the alarm sounding in the 331 military camp.

Several familiar voices were heard from outside the door: "Raid—it's an alien raid! Everyone gather immediately! Prepare for support!"

"It's Captain Zhao of the 331st Legion! It's truly an alien raid!"

After Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan put all the things in the room back into the space, they quickly walked out of the room and prepared to go to the gate to provide support.

"Brother Zhan! Qiao Yu!"

As soon as he walked out of the room, he ran into Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen who also came out of the door. Hua Yue also quickly walked out of the room with Wang Zha and the thugs.

"Such a large-scale battle, it must be a large-scale alien species!" Qiao Yu's face darkened. "If the time comes, there's no need to hide our superpowers. Safety first!"

"Don't worry, we understand." Cheng Sinian rarely looked serious.

After a brief conversation, they were about to walk towards the stairs when Qiao Yu suddenly discovered that the door of Room 212 where Ling Shu was was closed.

Qiao Yu frowned, "Isn't she going to support?"

Cheng Sinian immediately explained, "Ling Shu went to the military headquarters today to report to Commander Xie on his work and is not in the barracks."

But Qiao Yu frowned even more tightly when he heard this. "Didn't she go there early this morning? Hasn't she come back yet?"

This time, before Cheng Sinian could answer, Jiang Zhan shook his head and replied first: "She hasn't been back all day today."

Qiao Yu pursed the corners of his lips.

Ling Shu didn't return for a day, and the base happened to be hit by a wave of alien species at this time.

Qiao Yu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
