I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

This night is destined to be a long night in which countless people toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.

Some people are so excited about tomorrow's meeting that they can't sleep, and they keep replaying the details of the meeting and possible wonderful moments in their minds.

Some people are filled with confusion and anxiety due to the uncertainty of their future destiny, and are tortured by endless insomnia. They can only hear their own heavy breathing in the darkness.

However, no matter what expectations or anxieties people have in their hearts, time never stops.

The sun will not delay rising because of the worries of a few people. It will still follow its predetermined trajectory, slowly climb over the horizon, and cast the first ray of warm light on the earth.

Amidst the anticipation and anxiety of countless people, a new day finally arrived as promised. The sun hung high in the sky, announcing the beginning of another day full of hope.

After breakfast, Qin Zhong, Chi Xinru and Xiao Yingyong came to the meeting room that had been prepared early, chatting and laughing all the way.

At this moment, the conference room was crowded with people, because there were not many people in the base now, and this was the first meeting after the establishment of the base. When Wang Boshen asked who would attend yesterday, he waved his hand and said, "Come on!"

As soon as Qin Zhong entered the conference room, everyone stood up and saluted him. Major Yan, Dong Shanjia and other soldiers stood at attention and saluted. Compared with other villagers and survivors, there was a clear difference.

With a smile on his face, Qin Zhong greeted everyone one by one, came to the front of the conference table, and asked everyone to sit down. His eyes swept over the people below one by one.

There are Xiao Yingyong, Chi Xinru, Wang Boshen, Zhou Luosen, and those who have always followed him, so there is no need to say much. Shi Dajin, Gou Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xiaozhuang, Hu Meng, Gao Leng and others who joined the team later are also there. There are also a dozen soldiers including Major Yan and Dong Shanjia, as well as more than twenty villagers.

There were nearly fifty people crowded in a large conference room. Qin Zhong's eyes slid across everyone's faces, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He once had a gathering place, and at the peak, there were hundreds of survivors, but in the end, it was left with a memory that he was unwilling to accept.

Qin Zhong collected his thoughts and was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to realize something. His eyes narrowed slightly and looked at a place behind Zhou Luosen.

That position was blocked by Zhou Luosen's figure and was immersed in shadow. If you didn't look carefully, it would be easy to think that there was no one there, but just now, Qin Zhong did feel a sense of déjà vu.

"Jiang Yiyi?" Qin Zhong's eyes flashed, and he was about to do something, but suddenly his heart moved and he stopped.

Because he found that everyone maintained the same expression, as if time had stopped at the last moment. Qin Zhong shouted angrily: "Jiang Yiyi, what do you want to do? Are you looking for death?"

As he spoke, Qin Zhong's momentum surged, and a Tang sword appeared in his hand, glaring angrily at the shadow.

"Hehe, Brother Qin Zhong, don't be angry, I don't want to fight with you, I come to you!" As Qin Zhong shouted angrily, the shadow flashed, and a little head popped out from behind Zhou Luosen. It was Jiang Yiyi.

……

"Come to me?" Qin Zhong suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Yiyi tilted her head and said, "You want the Soul Crystal? After last time, I thought, since I can't kill you, I'll just follow you. I found that you're really lucky. Not only did you get the Soul Crystal, you even found the Flame Crystal before. Maybe if I follow you, my luck will get better!"

Qin Zhong rubbed his aching temples. He was really helpless with this little girl. He couldn't beat her, and he couldn't kill her!

Moreover, her abilities are very special. If you offend her too much and become her target, you will be in real trouble!

Maybe I am not afraid of her, but the people around me are not afraid of her!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong decided to try to accept her. After all, there was no fundamental hatred between him and her!

Moreover, if you put yourself in her shoes, Jiang Yiyi is also very capable and is a good partner!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong said, "Okay, but we have three rules. First, since you've joined me, you must truly become my partner and not try to trip me up. Second, don't manipulate anyone in the base. Third, obey my orders!"

"If you violate any of the above three points, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhong's eyes became extremely cold. It was obvious that he seemed to want Jiang Yiyi to violate these three points, so that he could kill her openly.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Yiyi laughed out loud: "Brother Qin Zhong, there's nothing wrong with me as you said! I'm a soul master. Apart from you, I've never seen anyone who can circumvent my soul control. If I join your team, it will be very helpful to you!"

"Fine!"

Qin Zhong reluctantly put away his deliberately aggressive expression, smacked his lower lip, glanced at the frozen crowd in the conference room, frowned, and asked, "Isn't it a bit abrupt for you to appear here so suddenly?"

"No!" Jiang Yiyi said with a smile, "I can help them modify their memories a little bit! That way, I will always be with you!"

"Hmm?" Qin Zhong's heart moved, and he said, "You can also modify memories?"

"That's right!" Jiang Yiyi said with a smile, "But your soul power is too strong and strong, I can't modify it. I can only modify it for people with weak soul power and willpower. Actually, it's not really a modification, it's just a hint!"

As she spoke, she gently pointed her slender jade finger at Major Yan and said, "This uncle has a very strong will. I can only use some illusions to interfere with him, but the effect on him is minimal. I can only plant a vague hint in him..."

Qin Zhong understood in his heart, yes, Major Yan was a man who could sacrifice himself, and was a soldier with a truly strong will.

"Okay, then do it your way, but don't do anything naughty afterwards!"

Qin Zhong gave this instruction, but deep down, he did not relax his vigilance towards Jiang Yiyi. After all, the two of them had fought a life-and-death battle before. It would take time to gain his trust.

Following his instructions, Qin Zhong discovered that the expressions of the people who had been frozen before began to become lively. He knew that this was a sign that the illusion was about to be encountered.

Sure enough, soon everyone's expressions were no longer static, but became lively and vivid.

Although Jiang Yiyi's illusion was silent and even most people didn't notice it, Xiao Yingyong, who was sitting next to Qin Zhong, still twisted his buttocks a little restlessly and looked around, as if checking something.

Major Yan's face also darkened slightly. He rubbed his forehead and looked around. Finding nothing unusual, he looked away with a puzzled look on his face.

Qin Zhong saw this scene out of the corner of his eye and knew that Xiao Yingyong was a second-level evolver. Although his soul power was not as strong as his, it was enough to detect some abnormalities.

Major Yan, due to his strong willpower, was also somewhat aware of the problem, but with the combined power of two people's souls, he could only feel discomfort, but it was still far from enough to discover the real problem!

"Ahem!" Qin Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin today's meeting!"
