The eldest sister and the second brother sat quietly to one side the whole time, and Jiang Yuan's tense mood finally relaxed.
"In just two days, they completely took control of this place. The iron gate outside was also created by that person coercing other ability users to use their abilities to create it."
Hearing this, Lin Xi felt a little strange. This was a small safe zone, so why was it so easily controlled by an outsider?
"Xiao Xi, go and see He Chao and Uncle Jiang. After they were injured, I did my best to treat them, but they just can't seem to get over their mental block and they don't want to wake up."
After saying a long string of words, Jiang Yuan finally couldn't help but cry softly.
She has been struggling here alone for a week.
Looking at the dwindling supplies, and with two companions still unconscious, and the daily worry and fear that those who left would return to demonstrate at their doorstep, she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and couldn't take it anymore.
Lin Xi checked again and found that He Chao's external injuries had only left shallow marks. Just as Jiang Yuan had said, he was not in any danger to his life.
But strangely, no matter how much they called him, they couldn't wake him up.
He Chao suddenly frowned, as if he was going through something very painful.
"Is he dreaming?"
"Yes, he sometimes talks in his sleep."
If it's a dream, then it's easy to handle, since her level 5 Soul Search skill just happens to have the ability to create dreams.
With the help of her older sister, He Chao moved to stand next to Uncle Jiang.
Everything is ready.
So, she used her supernatural powers to pull He Chao and Uncle Jiang into the same dream.
Jiang Yuan waited anxiously outside.
Ten minutes later, both of them woke up.
His expression was blank.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan burst into tears and laughter, exclaiming, "Uncle Jiang, you're finally awake..."
Uncle Jiang turned his head, his confused eyes clearing instantly upon seeing them. "Xiao Yuan... Xiao Xi? Didn't you leave yesterday?"
Jiang Yuan and Lin Xi were stunned.
"You probably slept too long; your brain hasn't processed it yet," Lin Xi comforted Jiang Yuan, then turned to Uncle Jiang and asked, "Uncle Jiang, how are you feeling?"
"Did I sleep for a long time? No wonder I feel dizzy."
He Chao stared blankly at the ceiling.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yuan felt a surge of grievance and almost broke down. "You all want to run away, have you ever thought about my situation! What am I going to do all by myself?"
He Chao finally reacted, turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan, and said, "...Don't cry."
He Chao, somewhat helplessly, propped himself up on the bed and sat up. "I wasn't running away, I was just a little dazed. I've finally come out of this dream."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan looked at him.
He Chao shook his head. "After I was knocked unconscious, I immediately fell into a dream. But I am very sure that this was very unusual because in the dream there was a masked man who was always chasing me with an axe."
According to him, he wasn't unwilling to wake up and escape reality because he was mentally traumatized, but rather because he couldn't wake up.
"Could it also be a mental dream-constructing ability?" Lin Xi wondered. However, considering what Jiang Yuan had just said about how easily that group of people had taken control of the place, she already had a rough guess in her mind.
If it really is a psychic ability user, then this matter is indeed not difficult when everyone is caught off guard.
"How many people were on the other side that day? Besides that lightning-type ability user, were there any other suspicious individuals?"
Hearing the voice, He Chao looked behind Jiang Yuan, "Xiao Xi?"
But the next second he was lost in memories, "Back then, the people on the other side were that lightning-type ability user, Hu Langyi, and..."
He Chao's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated to say the name.
Lin Xi pressed, "Who else? Who exactly are you trying to protect? The people who came that day killed two of our companions!"
He Chao closed his eyes, his expression pained, "...and Xiangxiang too."
"Yan Xiangxiang?"
Jiang Yuan nodded. "However, she didn't make a move; she just stood by and watched."
"But... you've been through thick and thin with us, friends. Do you think it's normal for her to stand by and not stop it?" Lin Xi clenched her fists. She never imagined that Yan Xiangxiang could be so heartless!
Uncle Jiang, who was on the other bed, finally remembered what had happened before he fell into a coma from their conversation.
"It's not Xiangxiang, there's someone else."
Lin Xi turned her head. "What?"
Uncle Jiang sighed, "There was another person standing at the door who never came in. We've known each other for so long, she should know that she has a space-type ability and couldn't possibly have the ability to create dreams."
"So there were four people who came here to cause trouble that day? Yan Xiangxiang didn't do anything, but she led the way, right?"
Uncle Jiang just sighed and didn't intend to defend her. "When she left, I just thought that she and Yunlong had laid their cards on the table and were afraid that it would be awkward to live together again and run into each other all the time. I didn't expect that she could be so ruthless."
Humans are emotional beings; how could we not have any feelings for each other after living together for so long?
However, Yan Xiangxiang has truly disappointed them this time, acting as an accomplice to evil!
"I don't want to get involved in her affairs anymore." Uncle Jiang shook his head in disappointment. "Xiao Xi, do whatever you want."
He Chao and Jiang Yuan did not comment on the matter further.
After all, they had witnessed it firsthand: Sister Ling and Brother Long withstood the bombardment of lightning-based superpowers for nearly twenty minutes. Even after they died, the man still smiled maliciously and burned their remains.
“If you want revenge, we’ll go together.” He Chao looked at Lin Xi and finally made a tough decision.
“You’re too weak right now, and Jiang Yuan won’t do either. She’s just a healing-type ability user; she has no offensive capabilities at all.” Lin Xi refused without even thinking.
Jiang Yuan was really worried. "I'll go with you. If we can't avoid getting injured, at least I have the ability to treat it."
"No need, I can take down their den of thieves all by myself." Lin Xi said calmly, but the anger in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.
Besides, there's my older sister there too.
A high-level zombie is like a trump card, no matter where it is.
After finding out the location, Lin Xi left some food before closing the door.
The eldest sister and the second sister's motto was to follow Lin Xi wherever she went, so naturally they went with her.
Lin Xi originally wanted Xiao Er to stay there, but considering that Xiao Er was a zombie and couldn't completely suppress his killing intent like his older sister, she didn't say anything.
