242: Chapter 113 Unexpected Rescue_2 242: Chapter 113 Unexpected Rescue_2 Cheese continued, “By the way, after you faced the disappearance of the Mountain Dragon, your sister beca extrely emotional but successfully awakened as a Spiritual Ability User.”
Li Yelai was startled, then bitter-smiled, “It must have scared her…
Does she know I’m still alive?”
“It’s not just her who got scared,” Cheese said softly.
“Starfire and the others were very sad, and the captain sent out several Ye Boshou teams to search for you.”
“I’m sorry,” Li Yelai responded.
“I had no way to let you all know.
How is my sister now?”
“A Processor specifically inford Captain Yin Huo, who relayed it to her.
She already knows you are safe,” Cheese replied.
“Fortunately, Captain Yin Huo didn’t tell her that you disappeared again.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t let you off easily.
However, Starfire and the others didn’t find out that you were alive on ti.
They had arranged two offerings for you.
Later, when they heard you were alive again, Starfire said you were being too unpredictable and got angry.
He ate all the offerings himself and ended up with a stomach ache.”
Those guys indeed still rembered to prepare offerings for themselves.
Li Yelai laughed.
Then, curious, he asked, “What Spiritual Ability Path and what ability did Yunyan awaken to?”
Li Yelai knew his sister’s character well.
Being a hobody, she had always aspired to many Spiritual Ability Paths.
A Doll holding a sign replied, [The Path of Zero with temperature control of water (*´ﾟ∀ﾟ｀)ﾉ]
“Temperature control of water?” Li Yelai raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, she can boil the water into vapor or freeze it into ice.
As long as there is moisture, she can touch it and voluntarily adjust the temperature,” Cheese replied.
[It’s a very convenient ability.
Just touch a tub of cold water, and it becos hot enough for a bath.
Normally, it can also heat food.
A handy ability for both ho and travel, hehe (๑*◡*๑)]
Of course, the Doll was just making an analogy.
Actually, this ability had trendous destructive potential, given that 85% of blood is water.
If she could control the temperature of water inside soone’s body, Li Yunyan could literally cook soone or freeze them internally.
Of course, the prerequisite was to penetrate the opponent’s Spiritual Barrier and touch their blood.
Also, Li Yelai didn’t want Li Yunyan to be involved in the fighting.
If possible, it would be best if Li Yunyan stayed at the level of a First Awakening Spiritual Ability User.
As long as she did not awaken further, the likelihood of being twisted decreased.
Every ti Li Yelai awakened, he was influenced by the powers of the Void Realm.
He did not want Li Yunyan to experience that.
“Currently, she has been asked by the officials to provide hot water for the shelter and has started teaching her how to use the Spiritual Barrier and Aerial Stepping,” Cheese said, as if seeing Li Yelai’s concern.
“Don’t worry, she is in a logistical role and will not be involved in combat.”
“That’s good,” Li Yelai sighed in relief.
Then, Cheese and the Doll left the hospital room.
They had their own tasks at hand and did not have much free ti.
After they left, Li Yelai did not stay in the hospital room either.
Although his arm injury had not fully healed, he felt he could still help out.
So, he found his Lallar Armor and Three-pointed Two-edged Spear in the hospital room.
The Extraordinary Armor, sent by the Jing Family, had endured several scratches and wounds in previous battles.
The Three-pointed Two-edged Spear had so rolled edges.
Li Yelai wanted to find a craftsman to repair them; this shelter was the original East City Branch.
The East City Branch was located underground, surrounded by buildings on the surface arranged in a circle.
It was ant to serve as a shelter when necessary.
Now, with underground bunkers and surface defensive works, this place housed over a hundred thousand people and nearly twenty thousand troops.
With over five hundred Spiritual Ability Users defending, it was one of the largest and safest shelters at present.
Li Yelai walked through the sowhat crowded corridors and rest areas to find the equipnt departnt of the branch.
And placed his weapons and armor on the counter.
However, he did not see the staff mber who had bargained with him and eventually provided Hot lt Ammunition for free; instead, there was another unfamiliar civilian staff mber.
“Comrade Night General, it’s been tough.
We will repair your equipnt as quickly as possible.
We can’t salvage your Big Black Umbrella Hot lt Launcher, but we’ll construct a new one for you quickly.
Don’t worry, it’s free,” the civilian staff mber said with a light laugh, and asked Li Yelai for his body asurents, planning to adjust the slightly ill-fitting Lallar Armor as well.
Li Yelai hesitated for a mont and asked, “What about staff mber 872?
Is he on rotational rest?”
The civilian staff mber paused upon hearing this, responding in a low voice, “During the outbreak of the Disaster Fog, he was part of an escort team that encountered an Insect Swarm…”
Li Yelai responded in silence.
Despite being a civilian worker, everyone had undergone strict training and was ard.
During the outbreak of the Disaster Fog, the usually frugal Li Yelai unhesitatingly beca a warrior.
To escort civilians to the shelter, he deliberately lured away the insect swarm and ultimately died surrounded by them.
Officials could only find his torn clothes and a blood-stained work badge.
“For Giant City, for humanity,” whispered the civilian worker.
“For Giant City, for humanity!” Li Yelai took a deep breath and replied resolutely.
The Equipnt Departnt did not keep Li Yelai waiting for long and soon had his equipnt ready.
Li Yelai donned a more fitting suit of armor and stowed a newly-manufactured, three-pointed, two-edged spear into his new Big Black Umbrella, carrying a bag of Hot lt Ammunition.
He waited in the Processor’s standby area for orders.
Here, he saw Jing Lin also wearing armor.
Now, Jing Lin sported an eye patch wearing that shielded his left eye.
With armor covering his body, he looked like a general who had been blinded in battle.
In reality, Jing Lin had used his ability and temporarily lost sight in his left eye.
Upon seeing Li Yelai, his face brightened montarily before he said in frustration, “I just found out you awakened.
Where are Cheese and Doll?”
“Are you looking for them?” Li Yelai was taken aback, thinking that Jing Lin was hardly familiar with them.
“Damn, still couldn’t catch the show.
I should’ve co back earlier!”
Jing Lin complained, his tone full of regret.
Li Yelai was confused.
These days, as a mber of the Yaoqing Jing Family, Jing Lin had been actively cooperating with the officials.
Their relationship had grown increasingly close.
In order to solve the food shortage, Jing Lin and the official processors ventured out to hunt the Insect Swarm and Extraordinary Creatures.
With the sudden onset of the Disaster Fog, the shelter couldn’t harbor enough food despite its reserves in the face of such a large number of people.
Much of the food from within Giant City couldn’t be transported back to the shelter in ti and was devoured by the Insect Swarm.
It was feasible to airdrop food into the Disaster Fog from outside, but often, the Insect Swarm would get there first, turning it into their nourishnt.
To tackle the increasingly severe food issue, the officials began targeting the Insect Swarm and Extraordinary Creatures.
After all, Insects could also be eaten.
Who said that only the Insect Swarm could eat humans?
Humans could eat insects!
However, the swarm seed to have sensed the human’s intent.
In just a few days, they evolved toxins within their bodies that couldn’t be easily decomposed by high temperatures.
The officials then turned their attention to the still-living Extraordinary Creatures.
A considerable number of creatures from the Doomsday Forest had been swallowed by the Disaster Fog.
Although many were hunted by the Insect Swarm, a significant number still survived.
In doing so, they could reduce the biomass available to the swarm, thereby alleviating the food crisis.
Thus, various groups persistently embarked on missions to hunt Extraordinary Creatures before the swarm preempted them.
Just now, Jing Lin and a group of processors had hunted down a Flying Dragon, just shy of the Fifth Sense level.
They brought back a large amount of Flying Dragon at and Extraordinary Materials.
Although a mber of a prominent family, he was truly fighting for humanity now.
Officials’ opinion of Jing Lin had improved a lot, and Li Yelai’s view of him had also changed significantly.
While chatting with Jing Lin, Li Yelai heard a commotion.
It was said that the search and rescue team had brought back a severely injured comrade.
Thinking of his friends, Li Yelai hurried over.
However, he actually did see a familiar face.
Ben Lei!
