CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 204

Several days later!

Ji Qiuyue, during the time she joined Pang Yuan’s team, kept thinking about the gathering place. There were few clues, and they hadn’t spent much time at the gathering place.

Pang Yuan could tell that Ji Qiuyue was subtly inquiring about the internal news of the gathering place.

"Qiuyue."

"Hmm?"

"Stop inquiring. Even though I rank second among the awakened abilities in the gathering place, I don’t even know who is behind it. For any survivor, they never care about who controls the gathering place, nor about the purpose of its existence. Everyone just treats the gathering place as a rest stop, a place to take on tasks and get crystals in this post-apocalyptic world."

"And you are not an ordinary survivor."

Pang Yuan looked at Ji Qiuyue. He believed that Ji Qiuyue was not an ordinary person, whether in peaceful times or in the apocalypse, the person before him definitely had a mysterious background.

"You can see through it?" Ji Qiuyue was surprised, feeling that she had hidden it quite well.

Pang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, I can see through it. Maybe you didn’t, but to us, your purpose is quite obvious. If you don’t believe me, ask everyone."

By ’everyone’ he meant Pang Yuan’s companions.

Control Awakener, Chen Ningning.

A girl wearing thick black glasses, looking a bit nerdy and slightly afraid of strangers.

Speed Awakened, Sun Ya.

A slightly chubby little girl, who, to be honest, always felt a bit odd to her to be a Speed Awakened, not because of discrimination, just thinking she doesn’t quite fit this ability.

At this moment.

Chen Ningning adjusted her glasses and nodded at Ji Qiuyue, who seemed to be inquiring. Though she didn’t speak, the meaning was clear: it’s indeed the case, I can see through it as well.

Sun Ya scratched her head and said with a smile, "Sister Qiuyue, you actually behave quite candidly."

’Candid’ often isn’t a compliment; a deeper understanding is a bit naive.

Alright.

Ji Qiuyue smiled helplessly, "In the time we’ve spent together, I believe everyone here is trustworthy, so I won’t hide it. I am indeed investigating who is behind the gathering places. During this post-apocalyptic time, I’ve encountered many similar gathering bases, but they were filled with unknown secrets behind the scenes."

"So I want to investigate thoroughly, to give everyone a reminder."

The reason why Ji Qiuyue didn’t stay in Huang City is because she wanted to discover the reasons for her own issues while on the road of pursuit and to see the situation outside.

Regrettably, the world after the apocalypse is really miserable, compared to the Sunshine Shelter, it’s really like two different worlds.

Chen Ningning looked at Sun Ya and said, "I told you Sister Qiuyue doesn’t have any bad intentions, and you still said to be cautious."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ya blinked, her eyes revealing puzzlement.

As if saying, you can’t be serious.

Ji Qiuyue smiled and said, "Everyone can rest assured, I have no ill intentions towards any of you. Indeed, I joined your team with a purpose because Brother Pang is ranked second among the local Awakeners. I thought Brother Pang might know some inside information, so I wanted to ask."

She told them the truth, no need to hide it, as harboring ill intentions when there wasn’t any to start with. If she continued to hide it, it might easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

Look, Sun Ya was suspicious of her from the beginning.

And when Pang Yuan took the initiative to ask her, it was certainly because Sun Ya was suspicious of her, hence Pang Yuan asked her in front of everyone to clear up the misunderstanding.

"Alright, the suspicion is cleared now, right?" Pang Yuan said with a smile.

Sun Ya nodded, "Sister Qiuyue, I’m sorry, I have always had suspicions about you."

"It’s fine, suspicion is normal. Given the current situation, if you’re not careful, you might get into big trouble." Ji Qiuyue wouldn’t remember this sort of thing.

Chen Ningning said, "Sister Qiuyue, I heard you mention Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City earlier. Do you know him?"

"Yes, I do,"

Ji Qiuyue said.

"What kind of person is he? Is he really like what is described in the ’Zombie Album’?" Chen Ningning asked curiously.

Ji Qiuyue said, "I haven’t had much interaction with him, but during the encounters, I noticed he’s different. He has always used Huang City as a base, clearing out zombies in the city. With the power of one, he opened up a shelter for survivors to live. The survivors there lead happy lives, living like they used to."

She shared the scenes she saw and felt.

Hoping more people would go there.

"Wow, amazing."

Chen Ningning’s eyes sparkled with admiration, but this light quickly vanished, replaced by determination, a direction towards the goal in her heart, advancing without holding back.

"Ningning, have you never thought of going there to live a stable life?"

In Ji Qiuyue’s feeling, Chen Ningning seemed a bit weak, not quite adapted to post-apocalyptic life. However, for some reason, Ningning still chose to live in such an environment.

Chen Ningning shook her head and said, "I used to think about it, but not anymore. I want to become a god, I want to become the new human."

Ji Qiuyue smiled gently at Ningning. Being a new human is possible, but becoming a god is impossible. She wanted to tell Chen Ningning there are no gods.
