Chapter 498: Chapter 498: A Visitor in the Windy Snowy Night

"..."

Lin Tianhui expressed that although she was happy to be called "sister," what did they mean by studying her?!

"Ah ah, Dr. Lin, please don’t be angry, don’t be angry, it’s just his catchphrase, he really didn’t mean to offend you, just ignore him,"

Moli quickly came forward to explain, fearing that like Rong Yuan, Lin Tianhui would give Lian Ze another beating.

The injuries on Lian Ze’s face had slowly disappeared under Dr. Lin’s treatment, and she didn’t want him to get hurt again.

"Hmm, Mr. Lian, that kind of remark, I suggest you don’t say it lightly,"

Lin Tianhui said, patting Lian Ze’s shoulder after finishing the treatment.

"Why?"

"Because it’s very easy to get punched,"

Lin Tianhui replied.

"But you didn’t hit me,"

Lian Ze thought of the previous incident with Rong Yuan, who had only hit him once towards the end.

"There won’t be a next time,"

Lin Tianhui’s glance swept over, instantly startling Yao Yi and the others nearby, as it was the first time they saw Lin Tianhui showing an angry expression.

So Lian Ze understood that this phrase should only be asked once, and asking it later might lead to the possibility of getting punched...

After checking Lian Ze’s condition, Yao Yi quickly prescribed a few traditional Chinese medicines. Although he specialized in Western medicine, he had to admit that when it came to treating coughs, he believed traditional herbs were most effective, and the hospital had recently received a batch of very potent herbs.

Shao Zian also had another Space Element Ability User leave behind two quilts and several sets of winter clothes, and he chatted with Moli a bit longer before leaving their residence.

"Dr. Lin has worked hard today,"

Shao Zian and the others escorted Lin Tianhui to the bottom of her villa before preparing to leave, but as they did, Su Xiangzhe, who came out pushing the door, handed them a hot, steaming pie.

"Thank you for bringing my wife back. This pie is freshly made and still warm. Although the filling is made from mutant animal meat and scallions grown by Xiao Jin, it still tastes good,"

Su Xiangzhe said with a smile, brushing the snow off Lin Tianhui’s body.

"Thank you, uncle,"

Yao Yi said excitedly; he didn’t expect that sending Dr. Lin back would bring such a benefit – he was considering sending Dr. Lin back every day.

Shao Zian, too, stowed the hot pie into his pocket, thinking that he could save on tonight’s dinner.

After saying goodbye to the three, Lin Tianhui finally entered the villa. Unlike the snowy weather outside, the warm villa made Lin Tianhui so comfortable she didn’t want to get up from the sofa.

"Mom, is the hospital that busy? They make you work overtime even when it’s snowing?"

Su Jin asked, sitting next to Lin Tianhui in her fluffy slippers.

"Yes, these past two days, many people rushing back to the base have been injured, especially with frostbite. Although they’re just minor cuts, there are many cases,"

Lin Tianhui also recounted the evening’s treatment of Lian Ze to them.

"Tomorrow when we see him, I’ll definitely give him a beating,"

Su Jin said angrily; this Lian Ze kept testing her patience again and again.

"You’re going to see him?"

Lin Tianhui was curious why Xiao Jin and the others would want to see Lian Ze.

So Su Jin told Lin Tianhui about what Liang Jiuhui had said to them today.

They certainly didn’t mind Lian Jiyue and Lian Ze meeting. After all, the two were also brothers. Although they had different mothers, they shared the same father, and if meeting could help Lian Jiyue remember some past events and return to a normal life, it would be a good thing.

And Lian Jiyue had agreed as well.

"Well, let’s meet them. I don’t think Lian Ze is an unreasonable person, plus he’s come all this way to find his relatives, which wasn’t easy,"

said Lin Tianhui.

Lian Jiyue, who was next to him eating a stuffed pie, suddenly paused, looking at Lin Tianhui with confusion.

Relatives?

Did he also have relatives?

Like this family?

Previously, Mao Qiqi had told him that she and the people here were all relatives, meaning that no matter where they went, they would never betray or sell each other out and would give everything for one another.

This explanation successfully stirred a sense of envy in Lian Jiyue, but Qiqi said that he could also become such a person in the future, so at the time, he was quite happy for a while.

And now, had his relatives come looking for him?

But he didn’t seem to feel happy about it.

"Xiao Yue, don’t think too much. We’re just going to meet them. Whether he’s good or bad, you are still you, understand?"

Mao Qiqi could feel the fluctuation in Lian Jiyue’s emotions and quickly comforted him.

He is still him?

Lian Jiyue nodded. The words of Qiqi reassured him quite a bit, so he started eating the meat pie in his hand again.

Late at night, as the heavy snow showed no signs of stopping, the guard squad member at the city gates couldn’t help but yawn.

The snow was indeed strange. Not only was there no sign of it stopping, but it didn’t even seem to be getting lighter. As the snow outside the gate piled up higher and higher, one Wind Element guard squad member used his Wind Element Ability just like in the daytime to sweep the accumulated snow aside from the entrance of the base.

Though it was snowing, the entrance of the base was their workstation, and they took it upon themselves to clean the nearby area as part of their duty.

A Wind Ball rolled with the snow toward the side of the road, but halfway through, it collided with something, and that something immediately let out a wail.

What’s happening?!

Are there zombies?

The Wind Element guard squad member was startled into high alert and then blew the whistle hanging around his neck. This whistle was no ordinary one; after modifications by the Weapon Research Institute of the base, its range and penetration had been greatly enhanced.

Suddenly, all the guard squad members around the city gates heard the whistle, and the originally dim and quiet entrance was lit up as bright as day, while a thick metal barrier automatically emerged from the ground at the front.

"Don’t be hasty, we are, we’re humans..."

A weak voice came from the snow-covered ground. Although it wasn’t loud, the people in front still heard it.

Humans?

What are humans doing crouching in the snow?

However, since the other party could speak, they certainly couldn’t be zombies. But to confirm their identity, the guard squad member still shouted, "If you’re human, come forward; otherwise, we’ll treat you as zombies and shoot on sight!"

Upon hearing what the person in front said, Wei Junhao became anxious. They had come to deliver a task and notify the Heart Talk Team about their promotion to SS level. If they were mistaken for zombies and shot, that would be too unjust!

But the several people behind him were clearly frozen stiff, having walked all the way here throughout the day!

"I am Wei Junhao, a friend of your base leader in B City!"

Wei Junhao shouted with all his might as he stood up. He felt as if his entire body had turned into a block of ice, and if he moved another step, his feet might break off like shattered ice.

Moreover, the only one still conscious, Lian Zongren, seemed to have been knocked out by that Wind Ball, and now their condition was still unknown.
