Chapter 24 Space Shelter 1
The room was silent, with only Tintin's curious eyes moving back and forth between the three of them.

A few seconds later, Aze—or Lin Che—raised his head, his eyes confused. "Where are we?"

Su Wanqing immediately stepped forward and handed him a bag of salt: "Eat this, quickly."

Lin Che took the salt packet, tore it open without hesitation, and poured it directly into his mouth. His movements were eager and eager.

Ding Ding stared at the scene with wide eyes: "Is he eating salt?"

Xiao Ran explained softly: "He needs this, just like we need water."

Ding Ding seemed to accept this explanation, but still stared at Lin Che curiously.

Lin Che finished eating the salt and breathed a sigh of relief. Her complexion gradually returned to normal. “Thank you.”

"Aze asked me to tell you something." Su Wanqing said, and then repeated Aze's words.

After hearing this, Lin Che frowned, "The Spark Project? Seven element holders? I don't understand."

"Aze said this is very important." Su Wanqing insisted, "He said you can't trust anyone except us."

Lin Che looked confused, but nodded. "I believe you. But I don't remember anything about the Spark Project."

"Maybe your memory is blocked by the suppressor." Xiao Ran speculated, "Aze seems to be able to access your blocked memories."

Lin Che pondered for a moment, then noticed Ding Ding: "Who is this kid?"

"Ding Ding," Xiao Ran introduced. "We met her at the convenience store. She got separated from her mother, and we were planning to send her to a shelter in the west district."

Lin Che smiled at Ding Ding: "Hello, Ding Ding."

Tintin timidly responded, "Hello. Why did you eat salt just now?"

Lin Che was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Because my body needs it, just like you need candy."

Tintin seemed satisfied with this explanation and nodded.

"We need to make a plan," Su Wanqing said. "Xiao Ran is injured and needs better medical care. Ding Ding needs to find her mother. And the people from the institute may be looking for us."

Lin Che nodded. "The shelter in the west district is an option, but it's also very dangerous. If the people from the research institute are there."

"We can conduct reconnaissance first," Xiao Ran suggested. "Observe from a distance and make sure it's safe before taking action."

"I agree." Su Wanqing said, "And we need more supplies. Food, water, medicine, especially antibiotics."

Lin Che looked at Xiao Ran's wound and said, "That wound needs to be treated, otherwise it might get infected."

"I'm fine." Xiao Ran insisted, but his face was already pale and cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.

Su Wanqing looked at him worriedly: "You need to rest. We can stay here until dawn and then set off."

Xiao Ran wanted to object, but the pain and fatigue left him no strength to argue.

He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes: "Okay, but only for a few hours."

Ding Ding leaned against Xiao Ran and asked softly, "Uncle, can we find Mom tomorrow?"

Xiao Ran opened his eyes and smiled at her: "We will do our best, little one. Now, you should also take a rest."

Ding Ding nodded, curled up on the sofa, and fell asleep quickly.

Xiao Ran gently covered her with a coat and closed his eyes again.

Su Wanqing and Lin Che exchanged glances and silently reached a consensus: they needed to take turns keeping watch.

"I'll hold the line first," Lin Che whispered. "You guys take a break."

Su Wanqing nodded and found a comfortable place to sit down, but her eyes never left Xiao Ran.

His injuries were much more serious than he let on; she could tell from his tense expression and the occasional frown on his brow.

"He'll be fine." Lin Che seemed to see through her worries and comforted her softly.

Su Wanqing didn't answer, but sighed deeply. The air in the lounge was stagnant, and the roars of mutants could be heard from outside the window from time to time.

Although Xiao Ran's wound had been bandaged, the pain still tormented him.

Ding Ding curled up on the sofa, sleeping uneasily, his little body twitching from time to time.

Lin Che stood by the window, vigilantly observing the movements outside.

"There are more and more of them." Lin Che whispered, his expression becoming serious. "The gas station has been surrounded."

Su Wanqing walked to the window and looked out through the gap in the blinds.

At least twenty mutants were wandering around the open space of the gas station, constantly making low roars.

They seemed to sense the human presence in the room and were gradually approaching the lounge.

"We are trapped." Su Wanqing bit her lower lip, and her right hand unconsciously touched the jade bracelet on her left wrist.

The jade bracelet heated up slightly, and a line of blue text flowed across its surface: "Emergency detected, recommending the activation of space shelter."

Su Wanqing was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Ran and Ding Ding. Xiao Ran's face was getting worse, and the blood from his wound had seeped through the bandage. Ding Ding was frowning in his sleep, with tears on his face.

"I have a plan," Su Wanqing said suddenly, with a hint of determination in her voice, "but you must trust me completely."

Lin Che nodded immediately: "I trust you."

Xiao Ran raised his head, his eyes filled with vigilance and pain: "What can I do?"

"I can create a safe space that will at least keep us out of danger for a while."

Su Wanqing explained briefly without revealing any further details.

Xiao Ran stared at her for a few seconds, and finally nodded gently: "Well, we don't have a better choice now anyway."

"I need you to get closer to me, the closer the better." Su Wanqing instructed, walking towards Xiao Ran and Ding Ding.

Xiao Ran gently shook Ding Ding's shoulders to wake her up: "Ding Ding, get up, we are leaving."

Ding Ding opened his eyes drowsily and rubbed his eyes with his little hands: "Have you found your mother?"

"Not yet, but we're going to find her soon." Xiao Ran said softly, trying not to show his pain.

Lin Che came over and helped Xiao Ran stand up. Xiao Ran's legs felt weak and his shirt was soaked with sweat.

"You need antibiotics." Lin Che whispered, his tone filled with worry. "The wound may have started to become infected."

Xiao Ran shook his head: "I can hold on. I've been through worse situations than this."

Several people gathered together, Ding Ding grabbed Xiao Ran's pants and looked at Su Wanqing nervously.

"Now, don't move, don't speak." Su Wanqing closed her eyes and held the jade bracelet with both hands. "No matter what happens, don't panic."

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. As she breathed, a strange energy surged from the jade bracelet and surrounded her.

A faint blue light shone from beneath her skin, illuminating the dim lounge.

Lin Che and Xiao Ran were both looking at this scene in surprise. Even Ding Ding stopped sobbing and stared at Su Wanqing with wide eyes.

"Space, open." Su Wanqing whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him suddenly became sticky and began to distort like water waves.

The walls, ceiling, floor, everything deforms and melts before the sight, then reorganizes into a completely new space.

The mutants' roars grew distant, eventually fading away completely. The temperature rose a few degrees, and the air no longer held the smell of decay and blood, replaced by a fresh, fragrant aroma.

When the distortion stopped, the four found themselves standing in the center of a spacious and bright room.
