Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Decision

In order to find Lin Xiuyuan’s whereabouts, nearly all members of the Heart Talk Team were mobilized, and even Liang Jiuhui had sent over a hundred Guard Squad Members to the place where he disappeared to help search.

Now that Lin Xiuyuan had been successfully found, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Hao asked his family and the Guard Squad Members who had come to help to return to the base first, while he continued with the remaining people to complete the tasks that weren’t finished earlier that day.

“I’ll deal with you when we get back.”

Huang Yunxiang left behind these harsh words and then pulled Lin Cheng to thank the Guard Squad Members who were preparing to get on their vehicle.

“Lin Xiuyuan, who is that?”

Su Jin looked at the girl squatting far away, using her Water Element Ability to wash her hair, and she too was curious about where Lin Xiuyuan had been hiding for nearly a whole day and night.

“Su Jin, I’ll explain when we get home, it’s not convenient to talk here,”

Lin Xiuyuan also looked back at Jiang Yixiao and suddenly felt like he had indeed caused big trouble. Had he known, he wouldn’t have run out to chase that Multi-Element Mutated Zombie, nor would there have been so many incidents afterward.

How was he going to clean up this mess now!

Jiang Yixiao was also frightened by the crowd outside; she had never imagined Lin Xiuyuan had so many family members. On one side was her, whom he had just met, and on the other was his family. She now felt completely passive and was even beginning to think about backing out.

“You don’t want to go? Are you worried we are bad people?”

Lin Xiuyuan was surprised as he looked at Jiang Yixiao, whose hair had already dried, and he still couldn’t understand why her hair had dried so quickly.

But what Jiang Yixiao said next shocked him even more. However, thinking about it, it was natural for a young girl with treasures to be worried about seeing so many strangers.

“Yes, I didn’t expect your family to be so big,”

Jiang Yixiao said candidly, indeed very worried.

“Of course, I respect your thoughts, and if you want to continue living alone like before, you can, but I suggest you never come out of there,”

Lin Xiuyuan said earnestly.

Never come out?

“Why?”

Jiang Yixiao was surprised; she thought Lin Xiuyuan would definitely persuade her to follow them.

“You’re so clueless; didn’t I mention it before? There’s a good chance you were already captured on camera, and those Multi-Element Zombies were also developed by the researchers from that place. If they really notice you, they will definitely look everywhere for you, and once you show up in public, you’re very likely to be captured,”

Lin Xiuyuan wasn’t trying to scare Jiang Yixiao, but he knew about the methods used at the E City Base.

However, Jiang Yixiao was completely terrified. To forever live alone in a space, never to come out and meet anyone else?

She might as well be dead!

“What should I do then?”

Jiang Yixiao panicked; she had had a premonition before, knowing that it would be too difficult for her alone to keep this secret forever. Sooner or later, she would be discovered, but she didn’t expect that day to come so soon.

“What to do? You have to become stronger yourself. Only by getting stronger can you protect the things that are important to you, and you won’t need to hide everywhere,”

Lin Xiuyuan said, sharing the lesson that Su Jin had taught him and the family, which they had only gradually understood later.

Even if a person possesses a great treasure, without the strength to defend it, that treasure will eventually belong to someone else, especially in the current Apocalypse.

Jiang Yixiao was stunned. Did she need to become stronger herself?

Indeed, if she had been stronger, she wouldn’t have been captured by Ning Yang and locked up, and she almost got killed. If she had been strong, she wouldn’t have had to sneak around like a lost soul, not knowing where to go or what to do.

But how could she become stronger?

“If you trust me, go to the S City base. If you don’t trust me, then pretend I never said anything.”

Lin Xiuyuan looked at his family and teammates waiting quietly not far away. No one was rushing him or showing impatience, even though everyone had been worried for almost a whole day and night.

“I will go, but I would like to ask you for a favor. However, if it’s inconvenient for you, forget it.”

Jiang Yixiao still decided to take the first step herself. If the outcome was to die, she would rather struggle once more. Maybe she could find a way out. This might be the courage her grandfather had taught her.

“What favor?”

Lin Xiuyuan thought it would be another request to keep a secret, but Jiang Yixiao’s decision made him somewhat amused.

“I want to meet your friend and have him put a restriction on me too. You know, I always speak recklessly. I have supplies in my space that could be used for exchange.”

Jiang Yixiao knew that in these times, asking for help required giving supplies.

“Do you have Crystal Cores? We don’t want supplies.”

Lin Xiuyuan wasn’t interested in the pile of supplies in her space.

“Yes, yes! I also have many Crystal Cores!”

Jiang Yixiao was even more delighted when she heard there was a possibility, especially since those useless Crystal Cores in her space were all collected by her from Ning Yang.

“I can’t promise anything. I can only go back and ask as much as I can, but my friend is hard to pin down,”

Lin Xiuyuan explained. He had seen Nie Qing place restrictions before. Nie Qing also said that the restriction was just a simple technique and wasn’t difficult. However, he couldn’t decide this alone and needed to consult his family and discuss how to handle the storage bag issues together.

However, it was unexpected for Jiang Yixiao to voluntarily ask to have a restriction placed on herself. If she couldn’t speak of the space, she wouldn’t be able to mention the storage bag’s space either, making it safer.

It seemed he would need to disturb Nie Qing once again…

Su Jin and her group had been keeping an eye on Lin Xiuyuan and the young woman. They seemed to be whispering to each other.

“Auntie Huang, did you know that girl before?”

Liao Yifan, curious, joined in. The girl looked about Lin Xiuyuan’s age. Could she be a classmate from before the Apocalypse?

“No, it’s our first meeting.”

Huang Yunxiang answered honestly, but the girl seemed baffled by what her son had said. Could it be that the darn kid, seeing she was pretty, was teasing her?

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I’m really envious, being young is great,”

Xue Wanyi said, arms crossed, leaning against the car, feeling emotional.

Lin Cheng listened to the conversation, which was steering in a more and more dubious direction. Looking at his son walking alongside the girl not far away, that couldn’t be right, could it? His son was all brawn and no brains, how could it be possible?

Jiang Yixiao was seated in the car with Xue Wanyi and Liao Yifan. Sitting there anxiously, Liao Yifan seemed very interested in her, pulling her into discussions about various topics, which caused Jiang Yixiao, who had not chatted with anyone for a long time, to also start engaging in conversation with her proactively.
