Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Visit

Jiang Yuan was a bit scared and instantly bounced back onto the bed.

Such strong surveillance capability—if it’s an enemy, that would be too dangerous.

Fortunately, having interacted with Song Yi for this long, there shouldn’t be any problem.

After calming down, she continued to check on the situation.

The people ahead had already gone in, and those behind were gradually walking in as well.

The curtains in the building across were being pulled shut one by one.

In those not yet shut, there were figures moving about—it seemed these houses were prepared for them.

There should be no one else inside; she hadn’t looked closely before, but she had never seen anyone around there either.

Coming here at this time could only be for refuge.

This Survivor Base wasn’t simple—without mentioning others, the doctor’s method was definitely accepted as the norm.

So, how many others were there like him, or maybe even more terrifying, it’s not impossible.

She always felt that the situation was unusual. Coupled with this strong wind, it was truly troublesome.

She had lived for almost thirty years and had never seen such strong winds.

Who knows if it had triggered some special mechanism again.

Could this strong wind be of the same nature as the previous extreme heat, extreme cold, and blizzards?

If it was part of the current natural disaster cycle, then it definitely wouldn’t be as simple as now.

Suddenly, she was frightened by her own thoughts—if that was really the case, then the danger had just begun.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

Jiang Yuan was jolted; the knocking scared her.

She quickly went to check and it was Ye Mianmian.

"What’s wrong..."

The wind was too loud; she had to shout, otherwise one couldn’t hear at all.

Speaking of which, she let her in.

Ye Mianmian waved her hand quickly and pointed nearby, "Check on Jingjing~"

She too shouted, sounding like two elderly people.

Instantly understanding, they both cooperated to close the door after coming out.

Ye Mianmian felt it was necessary to visit, considering the familial kindness of the little girl making flowers for her grandmother.

Being alone was somewhat awkward, so she called on Jiang Yuan.

When the two of them arrived, Liang Kang was feeding Jingjing.

"This child can’t eat anything too hard. I soaked some of the previous rice and took it to the duty room to cook porridge.

There they have a stove, with fire..."

"That’s good. Also, take some more hot water; they can heat it there..."

This was informed by the duty room personnel yesterday, going house to house.

The boiler below controlled the building’s heating.

This was rare in West City, only because it was situated near a mountain.

Due to being colder than normal, they had this equipment.

Even in such severe times, the boiler below hadn’t stopped.

It couldn’t be helped; once it stopped, the whole building’s heating and water pipes would freeze.

Then it would be even more difficult to manage.

Even if it had to burn less, it couldn’t stop, or else it would lead to endless problems.

Thus, the whole building wasn’t lacking hot water.

"How is Jingjing today, feeling any better?"

Xiao Ling looked at her daughter, also filled with relief: "Much better, she woke up early this morning.

Just now, after making the porridge, I woke her up again.

She still has some headache, drowsiness..."

"As long as she has woken up, it’s a good sign.

You all be more vigilant and remember to change her medication timely..."

Jiang Yuan didn’t say anything else, given the current circumstances, comforting was key.

The little girl making it through was better than anything.

Ye Mianmian also expressed a few caring words and Xiao Ling couldn’t help but tear up again.

"Don’t be like this, children cling to their mothers.

Cheer up quickly, or who else would she rely on!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling quickly leaned her head back.

She tried to hold back her tears, obviously taking the words to heart.

Liang Kang also came over to comfort her, and he himself felt very distressed at this time.

"Don’t cry, you and your mother have suffered enough. From now on, I’ll never let you leave my side again," he said.

As he spoke, he pulled his wife into his arms.

Okay, in such a tender, sweet moment, it really wasn’t appropriate for them to be third-wheeling.

With a random excuse, they quickly made their escape...

Ye Mianmian then gestured towards the house next door where Zhang Kaiyang and the others were staying, clearly wanting to check on Qingqing.

Jhiang Yuan was skeptical about her, but let it go.

Zhang Kaiyang hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet and hurriedly put on his clothes.

There was a strange smell inside the room, those in the know understood...

"Come in quickly..."

He hurriedly shut the door, and the air inside changed completely, rather quickly.

"Sister Yuan, Sister Mianmian, what brings you here?"

Zhang Kaiyang was a bit embarrassed but still managed a goofy smile...

He quickly pushed the quilt on the bed inward, inviting them to sit down.

"Just here to see how Qingqing is feeling today?"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t sit, and Ye Mianmian also remained standing.

"Much better, thank you for coming to see me. Kaiyang, quickly bring that stool over for Sister Yuan," Qingqing said.

"Ah, okay..."

"No need to trouble yourself, we’re just stopping by briefly."

"Qingqing, you look much better today. I didn’t ask you yesterday, but did Zhou Jin and the others go back?"

Upon hearing this, Qingqing’s body trembled.

She then smiled.

"When I left, they hadn’t left yet, I’m not entirely sure.

Guessing they’ll go back eventually!"

Her reaction before and after was too inconsistent, she definitely wasn’t telling everything as it was.

"Really, well that’s good. That house should have places to stay.

Maybe they stayed the night over there too.

But, I wonder if the doctor will forgive them?"

Yesterday, Qingqing had mentioned something about them being forced to fight each other.

Whether those four people are alive, it’s hard to say.

"I don’t know, but I hope so!

Sister Yuan, using people to grow mushrooms over there is truly horrifying."

As she spoke, she kept a keen eye on Jhiang Yuan.

Afraid to miss any of her expressions, Jhiang Yuan wasn’t foolish, and seeing her like this, she immediately smiled.

"You’re right, just hearing about it sounds terrifying."

"But I’m puzzled, how can you plant anything in a person?

It’s not like they’re soil, isn’t that strange?"

As she spoke, she turned and looked at Ye Mianmian.

"Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me either."

The gazes of the two of them, along with Zhang Kaiyang’s, all landed on Qingqing.

"It’s true, I didn’t see clearly, but their stomachs and arms had small mushrooms."

"On their heads, there were some green vegetables."

"Pfft~"

Ye Mianmian laughed inappropriately for a moment and, seeing everyone looking at her, quickly composed herself.

"Sorry, I just thought of Slow Sheep."

"Grass growing on his head — maybe Qingqing has been watching too many cartoons, got dazzled by them?"

Qingqing sighed deeply, her expression stern, her attempt to probe Jhiang Yuan fruitless.

Yet, she always felt that the person who had triggered the mechanism was her.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain it, only she had left.

The four of them had all been together, she was very certain of that.
