Chapter 251 - 225: Jiang Linhai Is Controlled
Zhang Aihua discovered he could use vines to move any usable furniture and equipment back to the base.
As for Hayden, his massive, transformed body allowed him to retrieve all sorts of valuable items. He could even dive into the ocean and catch fish, hauling in hundreds of pounds at a time.
The ordinary people were incredibly envious, but the superpower users looked out for them. If someone needed help, all they had to do was call out, as long as the request wasn’t too outrageous.
Everyone was getting along quite harmoniously as they adjusted to one another.
The main reason was their good living environment. With no worries about food or drink, it didn’t matter if the disparities between them were a little large.
In a world like this, just being alive was an incredible stroke of luck.
Besides constructing buildings, they also had to till the fields and plant crops.
Monkey King Number One, Monkey King Number Two, and their troops were all veteran workers. At a command from Jiang Si, they started up the tilling machines and got to work.
The sight left everyone else completely stunned.
’These monkeys are way too obedient.’
The moose were also well-behaved, helping to transport supplies.
Shen Baoying and Zhang Qingfang were busy nurturing seedlings, ready to be planted as soon as the fields were tilled.
Jiang Si named their settlement Life Base, hoping to preserve the world’s precious life.
But one night, the steady rhythm of their hard work was suddenly shattered.
Jiang Si was sitting with everyone, drinking coffee and reviewing the day’s progress on the base, when Jiang Linhai suddenly lost control.
His face twisted into a ferocious snarl as his tentacles shot out, wrapping tightly around Jiang Si’s neck.
He squeezed harder and harder, even trying to gouge the Superpower Stone directly out of her body.
In an instant, Qin Shen sent Jiang Linhai flying with a single kick.
Jiang Linhai was completely out of his mind. Unable to kill Jiang Si and now locked in a cage by Qin Shen, he began to mutilate himself.
He was unhesitatingly trying to stab himself in the heart.
Jiang Si stared at the scene before her, completely devastated.
’The person she had tried so desperately to protect had been turned into this.’
In that instant, a monstrous rage surged through her. Jiang Si’s eyes swirled with unpredictable light, and she looked as if she was about to lose control.
Qin Shen grabbed her hand, using his own aura to soothe her fury. "Calm down! Calm down!" he urged, his voice low in her ear. "Sisi, you have to calm down!"
Jiang Si’s will snapped back into focus. The moment her mind cleared, she fixed her gaze on Jiang Linhai and spoke to the one controlling her father. "What do you want!?"
"If you dare to harm another hair on my father’s head, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
Jiang Si had never hated herself so much. ’I’m still not strong enough to protect him.’
Shen Baoying was sobbing, but she still reminded Jiang Si through her tears, "Don’t lose your head! You have to stay calm!"
Suddenly, Jiang Linhai’s hollow eyes stared blankly at Jiang Si, and it was as if the puppet master behind him was looking through them, sneering mockingly at her powerlessness.
The woman spoke through Jiang Linhai’s mouth, her voice a cold command. "Come to the Holy Mother Base. Now. Immediately. Otherwise, your father will die right in front of you."
After speaking, he coldly scratched the coordinates of the Holy Mother Base into the dirt on the ground.
Jiang Si clenched her fists. No matter how big the trap, she had to walk into it.
She summoned a helicopter from her storage space, intending to follow the controlled Jiang Linhai and face the danger alone.
Of course, Qin Shen wasn’t about to let her. He grabbed her hand. "I’m going with you. I have to make sure you’re safe."
Jiang Si shook her head. "It’s too dangerous. None of you should come. Protect everyone here for me."
Qin Shen’s brow furrowed deeply. Shen Baoying and the others were just as insistent. "We have to go with you! If you leave first, we’ll just find a way to follow. Without your Barrier Space to stop us, no one can hold us back!"
Jiang Si let out a deep sigh. The person who controlled Jiang Linhai could certainly control other superpower users as well.
She felt it was unsafe for them too, but if they were so determined to go, she could only let them.
Zhang Aihua was hesitating about whether to join them, but Jiang Si went over to him. "Don’t come with us," she said. "Help us look after the monkey troops, Little Black, and the others."
Zhang Aihua looked a little disappointed but nodded firmly. "I’ll take good care of them. I promise."
"Okay. Thank you."
As if they sensed Jiang Si and the others were leaving, the moment the helicopter materialized, Monkey King Number One, Monkey King Number Two, Little Chun, and the others scrambled aboard or stood on top of it, refusing to let it go.
Jiang Si had no other choice but to have Qin Shen use his powerful aura to compel them to stay behind and not follow them into danger.
If they ran into real trouble, neither she nor Qin Shen would be able to protect them.
They had all been together for so long. Even if her own group was heading into danger, Jiang Si hoped the animals could live on and be safe.
