Ye Ling and others appeared in Zhenzhou City, one of the ice cities she saw in her dream.
Shenzhen is a city with a population of nine million.
Because it was located in the Central Plains region, many people went here to seek refuge, and the city grew from a population of nine million to a population of fifteen million.
But no one expected that when the earthquake struck, this place would be affected. Not only was half of the city destroyed, but the subsequent tsunami also submerged the area.
Such a large city turned into a ghost town in less than a day.
You Ziming looked down at his feet and said solemnly, "There are too many corpses down here. It's fine now because of the extreme cold, but once the extreme cold ends and the ice melts, so many corpses will definitely cause a plague."
Ye Boxuan also looked down at the corpse under the ice: "An outbreak of plague is inevitable. I just want to know, does the capital know about something this serious?"
He looked at Ye Jingyan: "Big brother, have you made contact?"
The only way to contact the outside world now is through satellite phones, but the whole city has been destroyed, and there are concerns that satellite phones may not be able to reach us.
Ye Jingyan made a shushing gesture, then walked to a secluded spot and said, "Uncle, it's me, Jingyan."
It was a bit noisy on the other end of the phone. Lu Hongbing said to wait a moment, and after a while, it quieted down. Then, Lu Hongbing's calm voice could be heard: "Where are you now? Tell me everything you see."
Ye Jingyan: "Can't satellites see real data?"
“There was a problem, otherwise I would have video-called you.”
Ye Jingyan remained silent; no wonder it took him so long to get through on the phone.
He said, "I am currently in the Central Plains, passing through Province A on my way. The losses there are severe, and many cities have become ghost towns. Now, only the provincial capital base still has more than seven million people."
Uncle, we're in Zhenzhou now. Do you know what's going on here?
Lu Hongbing pondered for a moment and then said, "Just tell me what you saw."
Ye Jingyan: "Alright, we're standing here in Shenzhen now..."
After he told Lu Hongbing everything about the situation, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Ye Jingyan could clearly hear Lu Hongbing's heavy breathing and suppressed anger.
Finally, Lu Hongbing sighed heavily and said, "This damn apocalypse. Jingyan, from now on, you will report to me every day what you see."
"clear."
"Let Lingling answer the phone."
Ye Jingyan called out to Ye Ling, who was frowning not far away, "Your uncle wants to talk to you."
Ye Ling came over and reached out to take it: "Uncle, I am Lingling."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's voice, Lu Hongbing immediately changed his tone from forceful to firm, saying in a high-pitched voice, "Lingling, you've really made your uncle proud."
In L City, you not only protected countless civilians, but you also improved their physical condition, causing them to collectively awaken supernatural abilities!
This was the first time Ye Ling had heard Lu Hongbing praise her, and she felt embarrassed by the praise: "I'm not as amazing as my uncle says."
"Whether he's powerful or not, your uncle knows perfectly well."
His tone then turned serious: "Lingling, your uncle is asking you, can you protect the capital?"
Ye Ling also became serious: "Uncle, I only have a premonition now. I will only know the specific situation when we arrive in the capital. But don't worry, I will do my best to protect the capital, but the premise is that no one causes trouble and everyone cooperates."
Lu Hongbing: "I will inform the person in charge there, and the entire city will cooperate with you. Your uncle wants to remind you to ensure your own safety and help others without harming yourself."
"Okay, I understand. Uncle, let's talk about something private."
Lu Hongbing lowered his voice: "I know what you want to talk about. Don't worry, I've already imprisoned all the masterminds and planners involved back then. We're just waiting for you to return to the capital."
Ye Ling's nose tingled with emotion. "Thank you, Uncle."
Lu Hongbing: "Silly child, why are you being so polite with your uncle? Besides, your ancestors were also implicated in what happened back then. If they hadn't been stirring things up behind the scenes, the tragedy wouldn't have happened. When you return to Beijing, you can avenge your ancestors."
However, someone must be helping you secretly. After I imprisoned several people, these families have been gradually disintegrating, with many important members dying in accidents.
The image of Wei Cheng immediately flashed into Ye Ling's mind. He had actually made a move!
He...is really helping her get revenge.
The complex emotions in Ye Ling's heart almost overwhelmed her.
After ending the call, Ye Ling handed the phone to Ye Jingyan: "Uncle, did you know about the Qi family's affairs a long time ago?"
Ye Jingyan said calmly, "People in high society all know about the Qi family's affairs back then."
Ye Ling looked at him: "Is Uncle helping me now because he has more power now, or because the strength I've shown has made those people afraid, and my strength has given Uncle the confidence to confront them head-on?"
Ye Jingyan reached out and brushed her stray hairs aside, looking into her eyes: "Perhaps, it's both."
Ye Ling smiled at him, then said with a murderous glint in her eyes, "It seems I need to show even greater strength, so that when they look up to me they know I am a child of the Qi family. It would be very interesting to see that terror, unease and despair grip their hearts."
Let them suffer through each second as if it were an eternity, until they completely break down mentally. Then I'll make them experience physical pain, and finally send them to hell to kneel before my grandfather and the others in repentance.
Ye Jingyan was startled by her thoughts and the murderous intent in her eyes. Based on his understanding of her, she wouldn't have such a sophisticated and cruel method of torture. Where did she learn it from?
She asked Ye Jingyan, "What do you think of this method?"
“Very good,” he affirmed.
Ye Ling smiled upon receiving confirmation: "I think it's good too. Let's go to the capital."
Wei Cheng's words had awakened her; revenge meant letting the enemy die a quick and painless death.
True revenge means making your enemy suffer, despair, and repent, kneeling before you like a dog with its tail between its legs, begging for mercy and death.
