Wei Jing committed suicide.
When Ji Yueyao first heard the news, her mind went blank. Lin Xuan grabbed her shoulders excitedly, but she didn't react even though he had already bruised them.
Thinking back to Wei Jing's attitude after learning that Wei Kang was injured, Ji Yueyao leaned against the side helplessly and hit her head hard. She was such an idiot. Wei Jing's strange reaction at the time should have made her more vigilant.
Wei Jing died; he committed suicide so that Wei Kang could accumulate enough medical credits.
Ji Yueyao would never forget the sight of Wei Jing lying in the bedroom, his face deathly pale. His body was covered in blood, which not only stained the sheets but also the floor.
Lin Xuan lunged forward, but she couldn't hear his painful wails. All she could hear was a bewildered buzzing in her mind.
He couldn't understand why that gentle man would leave in such a resolute way.
Because the base doesn't have such a luxurious place as a cemetery, funerals at the Xiyu base are very simple: just cremate the body and let the ashes scatter in the wind.
Looking at the raging flames before him, Ji Yueyao's usually timid eyes gradually became deeper and deeper, sinking all his timidity into that bottomless black pool.
Afterwards, she secretly hid Wei Jing's ashes and placed them next to Wei Kang, not wanting Wei Kang to be unable to even pay respects to his father after waking up.
Even if Wei Kang may never wake up.
Life seemed to continue as before, except that the sarcastic guy was no longer there to argue with him.
She then went to Yao Lin and Xu Lingnan, hoping they could join her team. The two readily agreed. Rather than groveling to a department to be a reserve member, it was better to become a member of the team directly. After all, as a member, the monthly food and points would be the same as those of a regular member.
Ji Yueyao then persuaded Ji Tiehan to let Yao Lin get her graduation certificate from the training area as soon as possible. She didn't know what she said, but Ji Tiehan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Later, when Ji Tiehan told his friend about this incident, he only said that what he remembered most clearly was Ji Yueyao's appearance at that time. Her originally bottomless black eyes were now as deep as black holes, and her childish face had a ruthlessness that she had never shown before. She tossed her neat short hair, and her voice was also resounding.
Perhaps from that moment on, Ji Yueyao had already begun to transform, or perhaps from that time on, he foresaw that she would definitely be extraordinary in the future!
The results of the team leader application came in, and Ji Yueyao was temporarily assigned as the reserve team leader of the 10th squad of the search department. She has the same power as the team leader, but she must achieve some excellent results before she can be officially appointed as the team leader. In fact, it's just a formality. She is now firmly the team leader of the 10th squad.
That same evening after receiving the results, Ji Yueyao suddenly developed a high fever. Perhaps it was due to excessive stress, or perhaps it was due to her physical condition. In any case, the high fever lasted for a day and a night and did not subside.
Seeing Ji Yueyao's body burning red, Kaqi could do nothing but gently cool her down with cold water. She could only carefully avoid the large and small wounds on her body, as well as the bruises all over her body.
Lin Xuan had come to see Ji Yueyao out of concern, but he couldn't stay in the girls' dormitory so late at night, so he left dinner there and then left.
"Has Ji Yueyao's fever not subsided yet?" Xu Yajun stood aside and sighed as he looked at Kaqi's anxious expression. "How did she suddenly develop a fever? She was fine just a few days ago."
Kaqi shook her head. She had used most of her points to buy fever-reducing medicine, but Ji Yueyao didn't get any better after drinking it.
"Kaki, I heard you're going to join Ji Yueyao's team?" Xu Yajun asked suddenly, watching Kaqi bustling around.
Kachi nodded, beads of sweat glistening on her cheeks, and her back was soaked with sweat. Although it was night, it was incredibly hot. "I'm a reserve member of the logistics department, so I know a bit about equipment and supplies. I can help Yueyao if I join her team."
"Hmm..." Xu Yajun nodded with some envy. She knew her own strength. If she joined Ji Yueyao's team, she would probably be eaten by the supernatural beings as soon as she left the city. "So who else has joined Ji Yueyao's team now?"
"Besides me, there seem to be Lin Xuan, Yao Lin, and Xu Lingnan as well."
"Xu Lingnan?" Xu Yajun was taken aback when he heard the name. "My brother is here too?"
"Your brother?" This time it was Kachi's turn to be stunned.
Xu Yajun nodded, then looked at Ji Yueyao speechlessly, "My brother has been busy joining the search department these past two days, and I didn't ask him which team he joined. It turns out it's Ji Yueyao's team."
"Uh, what a coincidence." Kachi was also speechless.
Ji Yueyao felt unwell throughout her sleep. In her hazy state, she seemed to see her parents with their white hair and their haggard appearance. She stood far away, wanting to shout "I'm here," but she couldn't make a sound at all.
But when she turned her head, she clearly saw Yu Zhenlong's ugly face, the indifferent eyes of the people living here, the ugly and terrifying aliens, Wei Kang's pale face, and Wei Jing covered in blood.
Loneliness, despair, pain...
Everything felt so real, yet so terrifying, and the only light was within oneself.
In this real world, is she the only light?
No, it's not her own strength, but her own power. Only her strength truly shines.
