Chapter 177 Another Situation
Chi Wan said: "After all, we haven't seen the healing system in the Bayi Base yet, so it's hard to say whether he has a similar situation.
"But I guess, even if there really was such a loss of control, they would not take the initiative to say it. After all, they relied on the healing system to survive those days of lack of food."
Once the news that "long-term reliance on healing abilities may shorten lifespan" spreads, the Bayi Base is likely to collapse directly.
At the beginning, they had no choice but to eat those poisonous mushrooms, so even if they were told that too much treatment would shorten their lifespan, they didn't care.
To be precise, there is no point in caring - you can only survive by eating mushrooms. If you don’t eat mushrooms and don’t have healing powers, you might just die. There is no point in discussing whether one’s life is short or not.
But now, the resources of the Dawn Base are continuously sent out in all directions for support. Everyone no longer has to worry about having no food to eat, and naturally they will no longer eat poisonous mushrooms that are useless except for filling their stomachs.
Seeing that the future was full of hope and they could start a new life, they were told that because they had been receiving healing powers, it was hard to say how much life they had left.
Getting hope, only to have it shattered, how many people can accept this kind of gap?
What's more, now is the time when they are at their most confrontational with the Dawn Base. Once the Bayi Base is in chaos, they will be defeated miserably against the Dawn Base.
Xiaoliu seldom thought about these issues before. After all, when it came to Shuguang, he just had to listen to Liang Yushuang. After arriving at the Dawn Base, life became even more comfortable. All he had to do every day was work hard at absorbing crystal cores to upgrade his abilities.
After listening to Chi Wan's analysis, he couldn't help but take a breath when he thought about the people in the Bayi Base who had been baptized with healing powers for so many years without knowing it and because it was necessary for their survival.
Li Xingye and Liang Yushuang didn't know much about the healing ability before, so they didn't think much about the healing system at the Bayi Base.
But just now when Chi Wan speculated that the healing ability would shorten lifespan, he gradually realized this, so he was not too surprised to hear Chi Wan's words.
Liang Yushuang sighed: "If people have no choice but to drink poison to quench their thirst, they will naturally only care about the present. But once there are more harmless options, I am afraid they will only blame everything on the 'savior' they thought they had at the time."
Li Xingye thought more: "If it is really as Wanwan guessed, the Bayi Base will definitely not make the truth of the cure public."
Chi Wan suddenly thought of something and whispered, "Is it possible that...they themselves don't know the truth?"
Li Xingye was stunned: "Unless his ability is not out of control, then perhaps even the healing system himself does not know what his ability will bring."
Xiaoliu listened to their conversation and bit his thumb and said, "Then, do we still need to go to Bayi? I'm a little worried... If they don't know the nature of the healing system, we might uncover the truth when we go there. What if..."
Liang Yushuang sighed, "Xiao Liu's worry is not without reason. The level of that healer is very high, and we don't know what happened to him. The worst case scenario is just like what Xiao Liu said, when you go there, you uncover the truth, and then there will be a big turmoil in the Bayi Base."
Naturally, allies with the Dawn Base will turn into enemies.
Li Xingye's face was also a little serious: "Let's assume that they don't know. Fortunately, I didn't tell them in detail about Xiaoliu's ability before. I just said that I had a problem and wanted to ask for advice.
"It's just that we have to be prepared for another situation as well."
Chi Wan was moved when he heard this: "You mean, the healing department knows the truth, but the others in the Bayi Base don't know the truth?"
Li Xingye nodded: "If that's the case, then the healing system's attitude towards us, or towards Xiaoliu, may be an enemy rather than a friend."
Because he is the person in the entire Bayi Base who least wants the truth to be exposed.
After all, the leader of the Bayi Base also needs to eat mushrooms.
I just don’t know what the situation is like inside the Bayi Base.
Liang Yushuang thought for a moment and said, "But we don't need to be too pessimistic. The Bayi Base itself evolved from a military base, and many of them are soldiers.
“When the apocalypse first started, we didn’t know that supplies would become increasingly scarce, so the Bayi Base protected a lot of people and also recruited a lot of people into the base.
"From this point of view, I think their leader should not be a bad person, otherwise he would not have parted ways with Shuguang in the first place."
Li Xingye looked at Xiaoliu: "Anyway, since we have already made an appointment with them to go, we can't break it. And I still want to meet their healing department. Xiaoliu, if you find it inconvenient, you can also wait in the base for me to get back with the news."
Everyone looked at Xiaoliu.
Liang Yushuang also advised: "The leader is right. Under the current circumstances, it is indeed not safe for you to go with him. Or you can stay at the base and wait for the leader to come back?"
To Liang Yushuang, Xiaoliu is her younger sister who she raised under her care, so naturally she doesn't want to let her take any risks.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoliu shook his head and rejected the proposal.
She said with a firm face, "Chief, please take me with you. I also want to meet that senior and find out what the healing power is. I think he must know something."
After a pause, she said a little embarrassedly: "I know I don't have much fighting ability. If you think it's too troublesome to take me there, then I will follow your arrangements."
Xiaoliu knew that the current Bayi Base was not a safe place. She had heard about Shuguang's targeting of them and his madness towards the healing system.
She really wanted to consult in person the psychic who was said to be at level 8, but she was also worried that she would hold Li Xingye back.
Li Xingye smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you."
Hearing these calm yet extremely confident words, Xiao Liu's originally somewhat nervous expression completely turned into a firm one: "Then I'll trouble you, Chief. I will definitely behave myself and will not cause you any trouble!"
Chi Wan jokingly asked, "Is it a problem or not?"
Xiaoliu thought back to what he had just said, and it seemed a bit contradictory, so he couldn't help but laugh.
The uneasiness and fear in my heart seemed to gradually calm down under Chi Wan's teasing.
Liang Yushuang could only rub Xiaoliu's hair helplessly when seeing this: "Then you should follow the leader well and be sure to protect yourself."
Li Xingye quietly hooked Chi Wan's fingers: "Wanwan, thank you."
