Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 128 After the War
The old man's words startled Jing Lin; he didn't understand why his grandfather's attitude had suddenly become so firm.

Admittedly, Li Yelai's appearance is quite unique. If he grows to the level of a captain, even supreme experts will probably take notice.

Weaknesses detected, Shadow Army, Divine General Dharma Form.

These powerful abilities are concentrated in a single psychic, whose potential is immeasurable.

Given Li Yelai's courage and sense of responsibility, any spiritual family would be willing to win him over.

But isn't this way of trying to win over Night General a bit too conspicuous?

After thinking for a moment, Jing Lin nodded and said, "I will do my best. I have fought alongside him before and we are quite familiar with each other. Inviting him and his colleagues as comrades-in-arms might increase the chances of success."

"Go and make the arrangements. You performed very well during the disaster fog; you have influence with the officials," the old man said in a deep voice. "Have you checked the detailed information about the Night General's family? The more detailed, the better!"

"Details?" Jing Lin asked curiously. "He also has a younger sister, who I heard has also become a psionicist."

"My sister?" the old man murmured.

"Both siblings are psychics? The probability of becoming psychics by chance is frighteningly low, and the probability of both becoming psychics is even lower." The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and said, "In this case, there must be a psychic or a critical psychic among his blood relatives."

“I had the same suspicion, but so far, their parents seem quite ordinary,” Jing Lin replied. “His father appears to be a retired scavenger. I asked around among the processors I’ve contacted, and he’s a relatively unknown lone wolf scavenger. And his mother was brought back by his father; apparently, she’s mute.”

The middle-aged man, who was "mute," paused for some reason, as if he had thought of something. His originally arrogant expression momentarily lost its focus.

Then, he quickly asked, "Can't speak? What are her parents' names?"

“I do know that,” Jing Lin recalled for a moment and said, “It seems to be Li Qiong and Jin Cuihua.”

The old woman murmured the ordinary name, "Jin Cuihua".

Meanwhile, Li Yelai was unaware of the Jing family's conversation. He needed to determine whether the family apartment was still habitable.

Unfortunately, during the battle with the swarm of insects, the family apartment where Li Yelai lived was hit by an abyssal worm.

Several buildings were destroyed, including the unit where Li Yelai lived.

"I only bought the house a few months ago!" Li Yelai sighed as he looked at the ruins in front of him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only walk to the branch office and ask if there were any other family apartments available.

Even with the combined efforts of the construction teams from the four giant cities, and with the aid of forbidden artifacts, humanity could not rebuild all the houses in a short period of time.

However, on the way to the branch, they saw Cheese looking rather grim.

She sat alone in a wrecked black SUV by the roadside, silently holding her coffee.

It exudes an unsettling, chilling aura.

Seeing this, Li Yelai leaned closer and asked, "Cheese, what's wrong?"

Li Yelai remembered that she had gone to clear out the insect swarm. How did she end up like this?

When Cheese saw Li Yelai, his expression softened. He handed Li Yelai the coffee in his hand to warm his hands and sighed, "I was so angry."

During the fog of disaster, most people were sheltered and protected, but a small number of people did not follow the official instructions for various reasons, such as being unable to go to the shelter or having some unspeakable difficulties.

In short, a small group of people formed private shelters.

But this brings some hidden dangers.

Within the official shelters, with official management, there are unlikely to be any major problems.

Food, ammunition, and medicine may be scarce, but at least there is a certain guarantee.

Even if a swarm of insects infiltrates the shelter, it will be quickly eliminated by the authorities.

But in private shelters, it's hard to say.

As calamity arrives and the old order collapses, the dark side of the human heart gradually expands.

Private shelters are often established by scavengers or wild psionicists—people with a certain level of power and protection.

They manage the people in their private shelters through armed repression. Perhaps because the danger of the disaster fog is increasing day by day, some of them have completely abandoned their basic human decency.

According to them, since they're going to die anyway, they might as well enjoy themselves while they can.

Therefore, in many private shelters, various events that reveal human nature occur.

Just a few hours earlier, Cheese teamed up with several processing colleagues.

The original plan was to enter the original subway platform and clear out the swarms of insects wandering within it.

Then, they discovered a private shelter hidden among the subway tracks.

There were still some armed men on guard outside the shelter.

Upon seeing the cheese, the other party let out a wicked laugh and immediately launched an attack on all the processors except for the cheese, spewing out all sorts of vulgarities.

Profane phrases like "You're so lucky" or "Don't die later" are used.

Li Yelai heard this.

His brow furrowed, especially when Cheese recounted the foul language used by those people. After taking a sip of coffee, his brow furrowed even more.

Cheese glanced at the coffee in Li Yelai's hand, his expression somewhat strange.

Then he continued.

For a moment, Cheese and the others thought that this person's brain had been controlled by some special Zerg.

Therefore, neither of them went for the kill.

Only after they were all knocked down did they show signs of fear.

Cheese also learned everything through its abilities.

These people hid in the underground tunnels, unaware that the calamity outside had ended. In their minds, they all believed they were going to die, so they wanted to enjoy everything they could before they died.

So, when they saw a pretty girl like Cheese, their eyes lit up. They all assumed Cheese was a survivor who had managed to escape from a scattered official shelter.

As a result, they naturally ran into a brick wall.

But when they opened that private shelter, they saw the bloody scene inside.

Even cheese made me feel nauseous.

A woman's naked body, human remains, the skeleton of an infant, and a group of people who are completely numb or insane.

At that time, the perpetrators were still trying to shirk their responsibilities. Some even said they would hire lawyers, claiming that since they hadn't killed anyone, they would at most be sentenced to prison.

Cheese, on the other hand, spoke directly, using his suggestive abilities to make them fight each other to the death. He then watched as the crazed people tore the last murderer to pieces.

This was undoubtedly a serious violation of the Department of Processing's treaty, but the other processors remained silent and led the survivors back to the surface.

But this still left Cheese with a lingering, unreleased malice.

While human warriors fought a bloody battle against the Zerg swarm for the sake of humanity and the Great City.

These humans, however, are doing heinous things in the shadows.

"Let's not talk about this upsetting stuff anymore. What are you going to do next?" Cheese asked.

"Looking for a place to live," Li Yelai replied after exhaling a breath of stale air.

"Coincidentally, I've also lost my house."

(Had dinner with my parents-in-law, drank quite a bit, and today's bill is already two thousand. I'll make it up next time.)
