Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Purification of the Blood Pond

Just as I expected.

With the sound of the rotor blades, a whole line of helicopters appeared in the sky.

An Xiaoya wasn’t educated in these matters, and she wasn’t particularly interested in military affairs.

Even so, she could recognize that these helicopters seemed to be of the combat type.

That was quite puzzling, and she curiously asked Shi Yaoguang, "Master, do you know what’s going on with these planes?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded and said to her, "That’s what I want you to do."

An Xiaoya looked surprised, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Shi Yaoguang answered, "Guide them."

"Guide them?" An Xiaoya didn’t quite understand her words.

Shi Yaoguang had no choice but to explain further, "Underground, there are survivors."

An Xiaoya nodded, "Master, you’ve already told us."

"But what does that have..." An Xiaoya started to ask what that had to do with her, and then she realized her meaning.

Upon understanding her intention, she suddenly became excited.

"Master, you’re not thinking about having me lead them to rescue the people underground, are you?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

An Xiaoya didn’t know what to think, and suddenly became excited.

When Aili heard this conversation, confusion crossed her face.

"What people underground?"

When Shi Yaoguang mentioned people were underground, Aili hadn’t arrived yet.

After Aili arrived, Shi Yaoguang just sparred with her to figure out what the altar was all about.

Of course, Aili had no idea that there were still living people underground.

She didn’t know, but An Xiaoya did.

An Xiaoya was also very curious about how those people managed to survive underground for so many years.

What they ate and drank while remaining below the surface.

How they replenished their vitamins and so on.

An Xiaoya was curious about all these questions.

Shi Yaoguang handed her a stack of Blasting Talismans.

"If you really want to know what it’s like underground, take these talismans and have a look."

An Xiaoya looked at the talismans in her hand and then, connecting them with Shi Yaoguang’s words, her eyes widened in astonishment, "Master, you don’t mean for me to blow open the ground, do you?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

True, there was a Formation in the Blood Pond layer that led underground.

But that Formation hadn’t been used in a long time and wasn’t very convenient to use.

Besides, to bring the underground survivors out, relying on a single Formation would be too cumbersome.

It would be much more efficient to simply blast the surface open.

Additionally, the geologists could study the wasteland soil to see if there were any issues with the underground substrate and find solutions if there were problems; if not, all the better.

After handing the Blasting Talismans to An Xiaoya, Shi Yaoguang leaned on Quan Jinbei’s shoulder and fell asleep.

Purifying the Blood Pond had indeed not been an easy task.

She was truly exhausted.

Seeing that she had fallen into a deep sleep, Quan Jinbei gently lifted her up and asked to borrow a vehicle from the director.

The director didn’t hesitate and relinquished the use of the bus straight away.

Naturally, everyone from their TV crew relied on Shi Yaoguang.

If it weren’t for Shi Yaoguang dealing with the walking corpses, who knew if they could have made it out alive.

They had to treat their savior well.

...

Shi Yaoguang was exhausted, and this time, she slept very soundly.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a different environment.

As she looked around, the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Turning her head, she met Quan Jinbei’s deep gaze.

She hesitated before asking, "How did I get back?"

Quan Jinbei said bluntly, "I carried you back."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t expect him to be so direct, and she was somewhat stunned.

Quan Jinbei’s expression was serious, "You have overexerted your Spiritual Power by purifying the Blood Pond, do you know that?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

She knew well how much Spiritual Power she had available.

To purify the Blood Pond, overexerting her Spiritual Power was inevitable.

That’s why she didn’t see any problem with it.

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Quan Jinbei frowned disapprovingly, "Look at your attitude, you don’t have any intention of repentance?"

Shi Yaoguang quickly smiled in an attempt to please him, "How could that be? Isn’t it precisely because you are by my side that I dared to do this? It’s entirely because I trust you!"

"If you weren’t by my side, I would never do such a thing."

It took her a lot of effort to convince Quan Jinbei and make him believe her.

It was only after he stopped caring about it that she started to worry about the aftermath in the wasteland.

Quan Jinbei, casually pointing at his chin with one hand, said, "The people who were underground have been brought to the surface, but they’re very unused to the outside world after living underground for so many years..."

"There are also some who have lost their human dignity and truly see themselves as slaves to be ordered around, and it’s likely impossible to bring them back to their senses in their lifetimes."

Speaking of this, Quan Jinbei felt a trace of lament in his heart.

These people originally had the chance to lead beautiful lives.

But because of their past leaders, many of them, who were even born underground, were brainwashed from the start, which is also a cause for regret.

Luckily, the army helped with their resettlement, which was a silver lining.

Then, there was the mastermind behind the laboratory.

Or rather, the descendants of the laboratory’s mastermind.

How to deal with them had yet to be decided by those higher up.

After all, they were prepared to conduct abnormal virus experiments, something that, unfinished as it may be, could be no laughing matter if it had succeeded.

Shi Yaoguang, on the other hand, didn’t care about these matters.

When she and Quan Jinbei went to see, she also noticed the content of the experiments.

According to their experimental results, even with another five hundred years, they would not be successful.

At most, they would...

Turn perfectly good humans into creatures with strange genes.

However, all of this was no longer important.

For Shi Yaoguang, reporting the existence of these people and leaving the subsequent issues to the professionals was enough.

She had more important things to do.

Their trip this time was aimed at going to Mobei to find a cure for Quan Jinbei’s medical condition.

Although, the nature of his illness was dictated by the plot.

But if they could find something that truly resolved his condition, it would ease his suffering.

However, their trip to Mobei did not achieve its goal.

Not only did they fail to find a cure for Quan Jinbei, but they also made Quan Jinbei use his Spiritual Power frequently, adding a burden to his body.

Quan Jinbei, seeing her expression, knew what she was thinking and immediately urged her, "My body is in good shape, you don’t have to worry, it doesn’t matter if we can’t find it..."

Shi Yaoguang placed her fingertip on his cool, thin lips, silencing him before he could continue.

"I don’t want to hear any other words from you, rest assured, as long as I’m here, I will never give up."

With that, she snorted lightly, "Or are you really planning to become a male concubine for someone like Aili?"
