Chapter 325 Everyone is here
On the sixth day after Miao Yin returned to Moon City, Gong Jingming and his group finally stepped into the gates of the Moon City base.
After receiving the message from Miao Yin, the group packed their things and left Dream City that same day.
Because their departure was so sudden, it even alarmed the higher-ups in Dream City, and they were held up at the city gate for almost two hours.
The questions kept repeating themselves, basically asking why I was leaving, where I was going, whether I would come back, and whether I was really not considering staying.
In short, they hoped they wouldn't leave, and even wanted to see if Miao Yin would come back for them.
The group exchanged glances and left the rest to Xia Tang.
In the report submitted to Mengcheng, Xia Tang's special ability was to change her appearance.
In the subsequent battles, she never revealed her special abilities.
Therefore, the higher-ups at the base never paid her any attention, thinking she was just an ordinary special ability user.
No one knew that she actually possessed a wicked heart capable of controlling everyone.
The consequence of underestimating the enemy was that no one present was on guard.
The psychic ability user activated their power, a heart-shaped outline lit up under their eyes, and their berry-colored curly hair became more vibrant than ever before, drawing everyone who saw them into a sweet dream.
Two minutes later, the gates of Dream City opened.
They stepped on the gas and finally left the base.
Then came the long and tedious journey.
Only today have they finally arrived here.
Not long after entering the city, they saw Tan Ling, who was already waiting there.
"Sister Yin said you'll be arriving in Yuecheng soon, so she asked me to pick you up." The short-haired girl had one hand tucked into her denim jacket, still looking cool. "Long time no see. Looks like you're doing well."
Upon seeing an acquaintance, Ji Yuanzhou seemed very happy: "Long time no see."
Chao Boyan waved to her: "Hey, beautiful."
Xia Tang stretched and loosened her stiff body: "Where is the others? I don't see them."
"They're all in the hospital."
"A hospital?" Bai Wendong looked puzzled. "Is someone injured?"
Tan Ling paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's not talk about catching up anymore. Come with me."
Tan Ling turned around and walked towards the hospital.
Seeing that she didn't say anything explicitly, the group immediately dropped their relaxed expressions and followed behind her.
The hospital staff were already very familiar with this face, and when they saw it was Tan Ling, they all silently made way for her.
This situation made Bai Wendong and his team realize that many unexpected things had really happened in Yuecheng.
The elevator doors opened, and the group walked into the top floor of the hospital, where they saw their long-unseen teammates, as well as Yan Shuzhou, who was lying on the bed, barely alive.
Ji Yuanzhou looked at Miao Yin blankly: "Sister Yin, he..."
"Alive."
It's just being alive.
The men's faces turned grim.
The loss or injury of teammates is one of the most heartbreaking and helpless things in the apocalypse.
It's just that because they are already very strong, and with a powerful ability user like Miao Yin, the group hasn't been exposed to this concept for a long time.
When faced with this situation again, an indescribable sense of solemnity permeated the air.
Of course, Chao Boyan didn't have such feelings; he wasn't familiar with anyone.
He looked at the person sitting on the windowsill, gently swinging her legs. Her gaze was fixed outside the window, as if she didn't care about them at all.
"If there's no chance of waking up, should we give up?"
Miao Yin stopped swaying and turned to look at him: "You asked a good question. So, what do you think?"
She threw the question back at him; now, it was Chao Boyan's turn to think about it.
The other person paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "The best strategy is naturally to give up, but if you two have a deep relationship, taking him along shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Ji Yuanzhou silently turned cold: "Chao Boyan, don't ask such questions."
Bai Wendong also looked at him disapprovingly.
Ultimately, we're all the same; if we give up this today, we can give up another tomorrow.
Moreover, they had lived together for a long time.
Miao Yin smiled and said, "It seems you're not very likable."
Chao Boyan shrugged indifferently: "Then I won't get in everyone's way."
So he turned and left the ward.
"You all should go out too," Miao Yin said.
“Okay, then we’ll go and rest first,” Xia Tang replied.
After driving for four days straight, they were exhausted and just wanted to find a place to get some sleep and rest.
Soon, only two people remained in the room.
Miao Yin jumped down from the windowsill and walked to the bedside.
“Did you hear that? Someone suggested I give up on you,” she said.
The ward was silent.
Miao Yin stared at the thin face of the person on the bed for a long time, then suddenly grabbed his neck.
Suffocation quickly turned Yan Shuzhou's face red, while Miao Yin expressionlessly tightened her palms until the electrocardiogram monitor started to sound an alarm, at which point she released her grip.
The oxygen concentrator diligently operated, replenishing the other person's missing breaths. The monitor stopped issuing alarms, and Yan Shuzhou's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Miao Yin's eyes were indifferent, yet revealed a hint of cold contemplation.
"Yan Shuzhou, I'm tired of staying here."
she spoke.
"I'll give you three more days. If you don't wake up, you'll stay here forever."
After saying that, Miao Yin left the room without looking back.
Behind her, on the hospital's pristine white bedding, a finger suddenly twitched slightly, a barely perceptible movement, before returning to its original position.
The ward was deathly silent.
Miao Yin opened the door and caught a glimpse of someone crouching in the corner of the wall.
Hearing the door open, the other person's ears twitched, and they looked at her, their calm eyes swirling with indescribable emotions.
"Gong Jingming," Miao Yin called out his name, "What are you doing here?"
Gong Jingming's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't speak. Perhaps he didn't know what to say, or perhaps he himself didn't understand.
“They all say that twenty-one days is enough to form a habit.” Miao Yin gradually approached him, her golden eyes looking down into his. “How long have you been away from me?”
Gong Jingming gasped for breath: "Thirty-four days..."
For him, it really has been a long time.
"Have you forgotten me?"
Gong Jingming bit his lower lip with his canine teeth. A sense of self and courage accumulated in the battles of the Black Tide surged within him, but his clear mind became increasingly muddled under those golden eyes, and familiar fear began to emerge again.
Miao Yin sneered: "Where did you learn this silence from?"
Gong Jingming's knees buckled instantly, and his voice trembled: "I was wrong... I was wrong..."
"It seems you prefer being a savior to staying by my side. Do you want to go back to Dream City? They'll definitely welcome you there." Miao Yin smiled, but her eyes were devoid of warmth.
She was right; Mengcheng really admired Gong Jingming.
In their past life, they liked him very much and used him as the base's living advertisement, repeatedly letting him encounter two Scarlet Calamities.
If it weren't for Miao Yin, Gong Jingming would definitely have been kept by the base and become their most popular S-level summoner.
The familiar phantom pain washed over him, and Gong Jingming took a step forward and knelt down, rubbing his cheek against Miao Yin's knee: "I won't go back... I'll stay by your side..."
Miao Yin kicked him away, letting him kneel down and crawl back, then kicked him out again.
After repeating this process several times, Miao Yin finally felt a little better.
"Follow me," she commanded, then turned and walked to the stairwell that Tan Ling had blocked off.
Gong Jingming followed silently behind her until she stopped.
"Lift your head up, I have some questions for you."
Gong Jingming obediently raised his head, his blue-gray hair falling to the side of his face, looking very docile.
“Tell me again what happened at Zuochuan People’s Hospital,” Miao Yin said.
