Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Could it be that I really can’t make it through tonight…

Lin Qiutang bit her lower lip tightly, and a strong sense of despair and unwillingness filled her whole body.

However, just as this thought emerged in Lin Qiutang's mind—

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

A sound like muffled thunder suddenly came from the distant sky!

Hearing the loud noise, Lin Qiutang hurriedly turned his gaze towards the direction where the sound came from.

Because the places where the black tide had not yet caught up were still covered by fog, she could not see anything except the thick fog.

But based on the route of the railway tracks and the direction from which the sound came, she judged that the sound should come from Yunlan City.

What happened there? What was that noise just now?

Could it be Qiyin and the others?

Did they do anything?

Before she could even begin to wonder, something even more shocking happened—

The black tide that was originally illuminated by the torches suddenly disappeared as if it had evaporated from the earth!

Lin Qiutang thought she was hallucinating and desperately searched around the train with a torch.

But, it turned out that she was not wrong.

The extremely threatening black tide has truly disappeared...

When Shen Qinyin woke up from her sleep, it was already noon.

The long-lost sunlight seeped in through the gap of the rolling door, barely providing some light to the dark space.

"You are awake."

Xiaoxiang's voice came from the side. Shen Qinyin turned her head and saw that the other party was half-kneeling on the overturned shelf next to her, while Tang Miao was lying on the shelf in a big letter shape, sleeping soundly.

"You slept for 6 hours and 18 minutes, including 2 hours, 21 minutes, and 54 seconds of deep sleep. Your total sleep time is a little short," Xiaoxiang added after a pause, "but you look pretty good."

"I can sleep so soundly thanks to you. Thank you for taking on the responsibility of keeping watch for us, Xiaoxiang."

"Master, protecting your safety is the highest-level instruction I've programmed into my core program. Furthermore, I don't need to sleep, so I'm the perfect candidate to take on the sentry duty."

"That's true..." Shen Qiyin cast her gaze on Tang Miao, who was in a strange posture, and asked with a complicated expression, "What's wrong with her? I remember she leaned on my shoulder last night."

"This posture is not convenient for you to rest and will cause damage to your spine. For your health, I moved her to the shelf."

When Xiaoxiang said this, his golden pupils shrank twice unnaturally, making people feel that he was guilty.

But the mechanical girl shouldn't have such emotions.

Shen Qiyin glanced at the area beneath her body. Mona had automatically transformed into a warm and soft blanket. It was very comfortable to sleep on it, and she didn't feel cold at all.

"The notebook is right. Mona can really do a lot for me..."

She stroked the blanket that mona had turned into and smiled.

After she used her telekinesis to float up, Mona seemed to sense it and immediately rushed to the wheelchair, then slowly moved in front of Shen Qinyin.

"Thank you, mona, you're so sweet~"

Shen Qiyin stroked the seat cushion as if stroking a pet cat, and the mimic cat's tail behind the wheelchair kept wagging, seeming very happy.

There was still some food left from last night. After Tang Miao woke up, the two of them each shared some food, replenished their energy, and then began to plan their next step.

I originally planned to go to Huaibei Province, but after going around in circles, I ended up back here. Now the most important question is whether to go or stay.

Although Huaibei Province has a state-organized resistance army that is strictly guarding against the main body of the Black Tide, just one of its clones has caused enough trouble for Yunlan City and several nearby cities.

Faced with a body that is more powerful than its clone, Shen Qiyin really couldn't imagine what humans could do to fight back.

Let the Lurkers deal with the Kuroshio? That can only be said to be a beautiful imagination, but a cruel reality.

The other party has disappeared now. Who knows where it has gone? Even if we can find it, how can we divert the blame and let them fight?

The problem is, if I don't go to Huaibei Province, what will I do about my sister's safety...

I don’t know if telepathy really exists. As soon as this thought came into Shen Qinyin’s mind, she saw a figure at the end of the road floating towards them, staggering.

"elder sister?!"

Shen Qiyin couldn't believe it. She thought she was having an illusion, but the facts told her that the staggering figure was her aunt, Lin Qiutang!

"Qiyin, you are here..."

Lin Qiutang landed in front of her and wanted to reach out to hug her, but as soon as she landed on the ground, her legs went weak and she collapsed.

Shen Qinyin's heart tightened when she saw this scene. She quickly used her telekinesis to support the other person, held her in her arms, and slowly sat down on the ground.

"Sister, are you okay? Don't scare me! Is there an accident with the convoy?"

"No..." Lin Qiutang shook his head palely, forcing a smile. "The train has entered Huaibei Province and is escorted by patrol soldiers. They are safe. The mission was successful. Qiyin, we have finally sent the survivors to a safe place, although it can't be called safe there..."

"That's good," Shen Qiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly, "I thought you had an accident and was almost scared to death by you..."

After Lin Qiutang recovered a little, Shen Qiyin asked again, "Sister, why did you come back? Aren't you going to stay in Huaibei Province?"

"I was worried about you, silly girl." Lin Qiutang stroked her cheek with her fingers, tears sliding down unconsciously, "You don't know how scared I was that night. After sending you away, the more I thought about it, the more I regretted it. I shouldn't have left with you.

I have been thinking about how I would explain to my deceased sister if anything happened to you, so I came to find you as soon as the sun rose."

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

"Idiot, what are you apologizing for? Seeing that you are still alive and well, I am relieved."

Lin Qiutang raised his body, hugged Shen Qiyin tightly in his arms, and kissed her forehead lightly: "Qiyin, I have thought about a lot of things. I can't afford to lose you, so I have decided that I must be by your side all the time in the future."

"..."

Shen Qinyin's pupils trembled slightly, and cold sweat oozed from the palm of her hand that was holding Lin Qiutang's lower back. The other person's body temperature transmitted through the clothes "burned" her knuckles numb.

The tears flowing from Lin Qiutang's eyes meandered down her cheeks like a crystal stream and fell into the exposed collarbone of Shen Qinyin's collar.

This tear was like red-hot iron, scalding Shen Qinyin to tears.

Obviously, for her as a time traveler, Lin Qiutang is not her real relative, but this blood-thicker-than-water relationship has left a deep mark on her mind.

At this moment, her tears flowed more and more, and she hugged Lin Qiutang tighter: "Thank you, sister..."

As the last word fell, the notebook in Shen Qiyin's mind suddenly turned to a new page -

Soul Resonance: The Pope

[Level Up: 4 ​​Stars → 5 Stars! ]

[Ability Acquired: When converting Desire Stone, gain an additional 40%]

Obtain Desire Stone: 1000

[Current Desire Stone: 1180]

Chapter 105 Warm Desire Stone Numbers

With Lin Qiutang's "return to the team", Shen Qinyin's team returned to the time before the black tide arrived.

Of course, Dr. Zhou is missing.

According to Lin Qiutang, Dr. Zhou decided to stay on the front line. Huaibei Province is now in short supply of talents, especially doctors. If she stays in Huaibei Province, she can get good treatment and continue to play her own value.

Although Shen Qiyin felt a little sorry about Dr. Zhou's departure, she respected his choice. After all, this was a very good place for Dr. Zhou to stay.

Several people sat together in the supermarket and began to discuss the next step.

At present, the crisis of the Kuroshio Tide has not completely subsided. Although Huaibei Province has assembled a powerful force sent by the country, the degree of threat posed by the Kuroshio Tide is obvious to all. The defense line organized by Huaibei Province can be sustained for a while, but certainly not forever.

Faced with the plight of Huaibei Province, Shen Qiyin really wanted to help. After all, it was related to the safety of the lives of survivors in a province. If Huaibei Province fell, the black tide would only expand and spread more unscrupulously until the whole country fell.

The problem is that she doesn't have the foundation to fight against creatures of the Black Tide's level yet.

Yunlan City was in ruins and was where the black tide had spread. One of the opponent's clones was killed here. Shen Qiyin found it difficult to judge whether the opponent would avoid this dangerous place or stubbornly gather strength to fight back and "get revenge."

You can't use human thinking to understand what these guys are thinking. Once you make a wrong judgment, there will be only one outcome: death.

As for why she didn't just join her sister in the Huaibei Province resistance front, Shen Qiyin's reason was simple:

notebook.

The ability this thing brings to her is too buggy. It's just that she hasn't accumulated enough desire stones to develop it now. If she has enough desire stones in the later stage, she will undoubtedly be able to become an existence like the Lurker who can kill the Black Tide clone with a slap.

If I go to the front line, there will be many people there and everyone will see me. Once my abilities are exposed, who knows how I will be treated.

Fortunately, the country sent people to negotiate with her and reached a cooperation, collecting desire stones for her in exchange for her help.

Out of luck, they were overwhelmed by the black tide and simply tied themselves up and used all means to turn her into a "machine" that could produce exorcism tools by feeding her "lust stones".

Chu Tieshan, Wu Dalong, and other special agents who sacrificed their lives, although these officials are great, there are certainly no shortage of insects with ulterior motives.

Therefore, unless you have the ability to blow up the earth with one punch, you must never reveal the existence of the notebook.

"How about we go here?" Lin Qiutang pointed to a certain location on the tactical map and said, "Huanglin City is a prefecture-level city on the border between our province and the northern part of Huaibei Province.

I had been there before when I participated in a field visit organized by my unit. Originally, that place was just a relatively poor small county town. Due to its remote geographical location, it was surrounded by mountains and there was not even a decent road, so it was not well developed.

It wasn't until ten years ago that the provincial geological team accidentally discovered rich geothermal resources underground during exploration. The county government seized the opportunity to turn it into a hot spring town, and that's when it began to develop."

"Well, sister, are you trying to say that this city is adjacent to Huaibei Province? If we advance, we can protect ourselves and gather resources, and if we retreat, we can seek protection from Huaibei Province?"

"That's right, it's nice to take shelter under a big tree. Here we can keep an eye on the movements on the front line at any time. If the fighting on the front line is urgent, we can also help to a certain extent. If we really encounter troubles that cannot be solved, Huaibei Province is our retreat.

At the same time, this place has a rich underground river system, and if necessary, we can also build an underwater emergency shelter."

"I don't have any objection..." Shen Qiyin nodded slightly and said, "It's definitely impossible to stay in Yunlan City now. Going to Huanglin City is okay, but you need to be careful of entities and strange beasts.

But there's no need to worry too much. We're all qualified, and Xiaoxiang has the ability to kill a beast like the Double-Headed Falcon without taking any damage. Ordinary beasts can no longer threaten us."

"Let's set off now without further ado. Huanglin City is about 700 kilometers away from us. It's already 2:30. Even if we use telekinesis to fly, we probably won't arrive until after sunset."

After making up their minds, the group began their journey towards Huanglin City.

With the blessing of Tang Miao, Shen Qiyin and Lin Qiutang can use telekinesis to fly with much less effort than before. The most important thing is that after Xiaoxiang is charged with Shen Qiyin's electricity, he has enough electricity to propel the flight, and they don't need to carry it with great effort.

Since the route to Huanglin City and Huaibei Province was the same, Shen Qinyin deliberately asked them to fly along the railway tracks.

She did this for only one purpose, which was to find the core of fear of the Rain Girl.

Although others don't know, she remembers it clearly. Last night, the girl in the rain was swallowed by the black tide when the train was leaving the edge of Yunlan City.

An entity of the same level as the Girl in the Rain would at least give Shen Qiyin three to five hundred gold coins, so she couldn't refuse it.

The notebook has a strong sensitivity to the desire stone crystals that exceeds Shen Qinyin's range of insight, and this sensitivity will increase as Shen Qinyin's mental power increases.

Therefore, under the guidance of the notebook, Shen Qiyin did not spend too much effort to find the core of fear left after the death of the Girl in the Rain.

[Do you want to convert the "Fear Core Gem (Small)" into 1000 Desire Stones?]

[Note: With the Arcana "Pope" bonus (40%), you can get an additional 400 Desire Stones]

Shen Qinyin "looked" at the red prompt appearing on the notebook, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart.

I didn’t expect that the Girl in the Rain would drop so many gold coins. With the extra bonus brought by Lin Qiutang, I can get 1400 Desire Stones at once!

What else needs to be considered? Shen Qiyin directly chose to switch!

As the prompt of [Desire Stone +1400] popped up, Shen Qinyin "looked" at the 2580 representing the balance of Desire Stone, and couldn't help but feel a great sense of security.

At the end of the world, the crisis is everywhere. Apart from a few companions, only this cold number of desire stone can bring him a little warmth.

In this way, time came to dusk, and the few of them arrived in Huanglin City five minutes before sunset.

After being swept by the apocalypse, most cities look basically the same: abandoned houses, streets filled with garbage and vehicles, and walls stained with dried blood.

Shen Qinyin found an independent B&B in the suburbs. This place looked like a farm stay built specifically for vacationers. It not only had complete accommodation and dining facilities, but also had entertainment facilities such as chess and card games, a private cinema, and a billiard room.

Most importantly, there are fish ponds, farmland and orchards behind.

Although these places were completely abandoned, looking at the relatively complete farmland facilities, Shen Qiyin couldn't help but once again recall the idea she had previously given up:

Should I replant this land?
