Chapter 246 - 224: Giant
Qin Shen shook his head. "I’m fine." He then asked, "And you?"
Jiang Si, in truth, did not feel well. She had an impulse to absorb all the energy stones.
’It’s like all the energy stones were originally a single, complete entity, and I’m the chosen collector.’
This feeling of being out of control, of potentially going haywire at any moment, terrified her.
But the surging power coursing through her body also made her incredibly excited.
’If I lose this power, we’ll truly be lambs to the slaughter.’
Jiang Si suppressed the anxiety in her heart and said with a smile, "I’m fine."
’As long as no one tries to control me again, I can keep myself from losing control.’
Hearing her say she was fine, everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.
But many people had been injured by the power Jiang Si had emitted, and they all felt incredibly unwell.
Bao’er, cradled in Shen Baoying’s arms, looked even worse. Her face was pale, she couldn’t even cry, and her life was hanging by a thread.
Qin Shen, who had just recovered himself, had no choice but to stand up and use his power to heal everyone’s injuries.
When Bao’er finally came around and let out a wail, Jiang Si could finally relax.
Jiang Linhai, Bo Xi, Niu Niu, Bobby, and Zhang Aihua all had energy stones in their bodies and needed Jiang Si to heal them.
As Jiang Si treated them, however, she found that she was continuously absorbing their energy. She even came close to pulling the energy stones right out of their bodies.
Jiang Si was a little scared. ’Will I completely lose control as the number of energy stones in my body keeps increasing?’
’If that happens, I need to figure out a fallback plan for my family as soon as possible. A safe place suitable for survival is urgently needed, even without my Barrier Space.’
She suddenly didn’t want the group to go to Antarctica anymore.
’I thought it would be less dangerous there, but now it seems they can control me from a distance. Isn’t it just as dangerous everywhere?’
’I guarantee this group will be back.’
A cold smile touched Jiang Si’s lips. She would be waiting for them.
Zhang Aihua was conflicted about what Jiang Si had said earlier, wondering if she really meant to drive them away.
But he was also afraid that if he asked, he would get the answer he dreaded.
Jiang Si losing control was terrifying, but when she was in control, the Barrier Space was like a paradise.
Song Yufang said in a low voice, "Don’t ask. As long as Jiang Si doesn’t bring it up, we’ll pretend we don’t know."
Zhang Yiwen nodded. "Dad, you better not run your mouth. I just went and snagged a bowl of congee!"
If she truly intended to kick them out, Jiang Si wouldn’t be feeding them.
Zhang Aihua thought that made sense and let out a long sigh of relief.
After eating, Jiang Si prepared to lead everyone to find more supplies.
Every city had strategic supply depots. Jiang Si and Qin Shen analyzed a map and ultimately confirmed three likely locations.
But before heading to these three locations, Jiang Si planned to search for any usable helicopters, planes, cars, or yachts.
The cars that had been buried in the ice and snow for a long time were all useless.
Jiang Si led the group straight toward two buildings that still looked sturdy. Suddenly, Qin Shen said, "There are signs of life."
Qin Shen hadn’t sensed it before because the thick snow had buried all traces and scents.
Now that they were closer, Qin Shen could sense a human presence dozens of meters underground.
It wasn’t easy for anyone to have survived this long. Seeing hundreds, even thousands, of zombies swarming around an underground ventilation shaft, everyone felt an indescribable sense of gloom.
Those who had survived until now could be vicious criminals, but they could also be innocent survivors who had managed to hold on.
Just as Jiang Si was pondering how to handle the situation, "BANG! BANG! BANG—"
Something seemed to be erupting from the ground.
Before Jiang Si could even investigate, an enormous hand suddenly shot out from the ground and sent the zombies on the ventilation shaft flying with a single punch.
Immediately after, the Barrier they were in also began to tremble violently.
A moment later, a giant Black man burst through the ground, hunched over as he emerged.
As the Barrier Space was pushed upward, Jiang Si made everyone float into the air to ensure their safety.
The man looked around nervously. When he spotted the zombies, he kicked several of them away with each blow.
Fearing the zombies would get in, he quickly crouched down and used snow and construction debris to form an area that the zombies couldn’t approach.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.
But immediately after, he looked into the distance to survey the situation. His gaze locked onto Jiang Si and her group, and he was instantly stunned.
Hayden thought they were zombies. He jumped in fright and began looking around for something he could lift to smash them all to death.
