"You're awake?" Ji Yueyao was speechless. She took the water Zhu Mu handed her, took a sip, and then asked, "How long was I unconscious?"
"Eleven days." The termite's words were startling, causing Ji Yueyao to spit out a mouthful of water.
"Wow, that's amazing, bro..." Ji Yueyao looked at her arms, which were obviously so thin they were unrecognizable, in astonishment, feeling like she was hearing a fairy tale. "I was unconscious for that long?!"
"Hmm." The termite nodded silently, its expression quite strange.
The adults would be arriving in half a day, and if the captain didn't wake up by then... Termite shuddered. Thankfully, the captain had woken up.
Heaven knows that as soon as the lord received his message, he drove straight from the military region to catch up. At that time, Lord Lingyang's angry roar could be heard through the communicator.
"No wonder I felt so weak and listless all over. I was unconscious for so long..." Ji Yueyao murmured, then frowned and asked, "Did we bring enough food?"
They only brought enough food for more than ten days, and she has been unconscious for eleven days. They don't have a vehicle now, and if they continue westward to the base, they will starve to death before they even reach it.
The termite knelt on the ground and looked directly at Ji Yueyao, saying, "We can hold on for another day, but the adults will be here this afternoon."
"Mu Yanxuan is coming over?" Ji Yueyao stared wide-eyed speechlessly. That guy is a military region commander who is extremely busy every day. Why is he running around all day with nothing to do?
"How did he know what happened here?" Ji Yueyao looked at the termite dangerously, clearly displeased.
"Ahem." Termite tried to maintain his composure. "Because we hadn't heard from you, Captain, I quickly requested backup."
"Request Mu Yanxuan's support?" Ji Yueyao glared at Bai Yi.
Termite nodded, feigning innocence, but inwardly he thought, "The boss means that if you're in danger, Captain, immediately send him a message... Should I even say something so cheesy?"
Fortunately, Ji Yueyao didn't have the mind to dwell on this. By this time, she had long forgotten Xia Yaoxuan's warning to stay away from Mu Yanxuan, or rather, she had never taken it to heart. Ji Yueyao sat up, rubbed her weak thighs, frowned, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, why was I up there too? I remember that the scorpion-type exotic bird only brought Kachi up."
"At that time, we first saw the scorpion-type alien bird carrying Kaki out of the ground," Termite recalled. "Bamboo and I were quite startled, but the scorpion-type alien bird just dropped Kaki and then burrowed back into the ground and left. I found that Kaki had been poisoned by the scorpion-type alien bird, so I quickly tried to detoxify her."
At this moment, Takeki nodded and chimed in, "That's right, Captain. Although Kachi came up, we waited for a long time but didn't see you come up... We were really desperate at that time, afraid that something had happened to you. Fortunately, as soon as it got dark, you were also swept up by a scorpion-type exotic bird." Takeki swallowed, sat down cross-legged, picked up a glass of water and took a sip, pointing to the sky and saying, "Of course... this guy came up with us too."
"Captain, can you control those scorpion-type exotic birds now?" Zhu Mu asked with stars in his eyes.
"It's not control, it's just that we can communicate." Ji Yueyao shook her head, then turned her gaze to the sky.
The sky, full of energy, rolled its big eyes, giving Ji Yueyao an inexplicable feeling of cuteness.
"Why are you looking at me?" Sky snorted, and before Ji Yueyao could speak, Sky said smugly, "Oh right, right, hurry up and thank me. I'm the one who had those scorpion-type exotic birds bring you up here."
"..." Ji Yueyao silently rolled her eyes. She knew it. "You can also talk to scorpion-type exotic birds?"
“Originally, it wasn’t possible…” Sky rolled its eyes smugly, its clear pupils emitting a ghostly blue light, “But you’ve already connected your sonic waves with the scorpion-type alien bird, so naturally I can also communicate with the scorpion-type alien bird since I’ve already connected my sonic waves with yours.”
"Oh, is that so?" Ji Yueyao nodded thoughtfully, glanced at the sky, and said indifferently, "Wasn't that all thanks to me?"
Sky was displeased upon hearing this. "Pah! If I hadn't woken up in time and been rescued, you would have been buried long ago, hmph!"
Ji Yueyao raised an eyebrow, speechless, and patted Tiankong's head like comforting a child, saying perfunctorily, "Okay, it's all thanks to you."
The sky was finally pleased and, too lazy to pay attention to the perfunctory tone in Ji Yueyao's voice, happily began to examine the clouds floating in the sky again.
Yes, the outside world is indeed very beautiful.
While Ji Yueyao was talking to the sky, the termites had already quietly left. It wasn't that they were avoiding suspicion, but seeing Ji Yueyao talking to a skull... was just a little creepy, so they decided to avoid seeing it.
Ji Yueyao tried to stand up, but her legs felt weak and she couldn't muster any strength. However, after standing for a while, she felt her strength gradually returning.
Ji Yueyao stared at her thighs, somewhat lost in thought. "Sky, I think one of my superpowers, distorting space, is fine, but the other superpower might not be something like telepathy."
"What should that be?" Sky shifted its gaze to Ji Yueyao.
“Maybe it should be communication…no, perhaps assimilation, no, it’s not that either…” Ji Yueyao was a little conflicted. “Back when I was able to communicate with the scorpion-type alien bird, it treated me as one of its own. Sky, did you feel that way too?”
Surprisingly, the sky did not reply; he remained silent.
His silence made Ji Yueyao's heart skip a beat for no reason. She looked at the sky hidden in her eyes and softly asked, "The sky?"
“I felt that you were one of my kind,” the sky said. “That’s why I dared to contact you in the Forbidden Forest and give you directions to find me… But the moment I actually saw you, I clearly understood that you were a human, not one of my kind.”
Ji Yueyao frowned. "Could this be a secondary ability of the superpower belt?"
"..." The sky paused, as if deep in thought. "I think I can tell you are a human not because I saw you, but because I am a super-powerful anomaly."
"So what?" Ji Yueyao asked, puzzled.
“Ji Yueyao.” Sky’s voice was somewhat somber. “Perhaps the power you possess… is what we call a control-type ability.”
Ji Yueyao was stunned. What kind of supernatural ability was this?
"About a hundred years ago, when the apocalypse had just begun... which was also the time when we aliens were born, there were three absolute powers that dominated us." The voice in the sky was very calm, and even the tone of the voice carried an ancient aura. "Domain type, space type, nature type."
"Later, the power of these three systems triggered an absolute massacre in this world. At that time, almost seventy percent of us, whether mutated aliens or unmutated humans, perished," Sky continued. "This should also be recorded in your human history, right? The Seven Years of the End, the Year of Termination." (To be continued.)
