âplease wait!â
as jiang liushiâs minibus was about to leave the park, wei feifei rushed out of the building peach was holding the latter in her hands.
âmaybe he canât see us, or they donât even remember usâ¦â murmured wei feifei.
jiang liushi may have helped them two times now, but the gap between them was too large. when wei feifei noticed the minibus leaving, she decided to give it a try. otherwise, she believed that they wouldnât have a nay chance to meet jiang liushi again.
jiang liushi noticed them at once thanks to his enhanced senses. âoh, itâs her!â
when the minibus was fighting against the fleet of tanks, he had seen and taken note of wei feifeiâs actions. at first, he had helped them inadvertently and didnât care if they would repay him. but wei feifei had led the way for them to the hejiang town, so he believed they were even.
earlier, if wei feifei had just stood aside and watched, jiang lushi would have found it perfectly normal. but it had never crossed his mind that the quite kind girl was ready to assist them in such a critical moment for his team. thus, he came to appreciate wei feifei.
as wei feifei saw that jiang liushiâs minibus was not stopping, she felt disappointed. then, she shook her head and was about to leave with peach in her arms.
however, at that moment, the minibus stopped and turned toward their direction. although it was extremely fast, it stopped before them with ease. after stopping, the door was opened.
jiang liushi looked out and asked, âare you about to go to the safety zone?â jiang liushi didnât know what they had experienced, but he guessed they were only ones of their team that had survived.
upon hearing jiang liushiâs question, wei feifei didnât know what to say next. she had not expected that they would have come back for them.
wei feifei appeared confused and lowered her head slowly. âthe safety zone? ifâ¦it would be better to take care of peach in the safety zone, but iâm not sure whether they can heal herâ¦â
jiang liushi glanced at peach in wei feiifeiâs arms. her face was quite pale. although her eyes were open, she was unresponsive.
âshe has overused her power.â ran xiyuâs cold voice suddenly sounded from the minibus. then, ran xiyu came outside and checked on peachâs condition. her eyes were like the stars in the night sky.
ran xiyu frowned and said in a sad tone, âshe overused her mental power and exceeded her limits. the moment she did that, she suffered a horrible backlash, causing unimaginable pain to her mind. as a result, her brain was totally ruined.â
wei feifei could not hold her tears when she heard that. âshe did that to rescue me! if- if notâ¦â
after crying, she stopped and said, âif nobody in the safety zone can heal her, i go with peach to the huaxia region. iâm sure they can heal her.â even though she said that wei feifei still felt desperate.
wei feifei didnât know anything about peachâs situation, and she was worried that even if they went to the huaxia region, it would be in vain.
âduring the past few days, peach had been eavesdropping on the people that had come from the huaxia region. they talked about many things. once they mentioned a famous doctor, dr. ning, who responsible for healing paranormals. i will do everything i can to help peach. i will even beg dr. ning to heal herâ¦â yet again, wei feifei felt desperate. after all, she was an ordinary paranormal. it would be nearly impossible to meet that doctor.
âhow could peach know the content of their private conversation?â asked jiang liushi suddenly.
âpeachâs mental ability is akin to telesthesia. she can recognize a person directly through their mental waves or read some thoughts of a person. if she completely releases her power, the voices of people around her will intermittently appear before her eyes. she calls that a way to read othersâ hearts,â explained wei feifei.
jiang liushi was surprised, and then he looked at peach curiously. he had a vague impression of her as she was quite quiet, but he still remembered her bright smile.
âif you bring her to the huaxia region, they will definitely help her as she is psychic paranormal. but many people will dislike her as nobody wants someone to eavesdrop on their secrets,â said jiang liushi while touching his chin.
in fact, peachâs mental ability was useless in most life-or-death situations. after all, they were always meeting mutant zombies and beasts, which couldnât communicate in the human language.
âdoes peach know a lot of things about the huaxia region?â asked jiang liushi. he was aware that only a part of what han yuan had said was the truth. but he was sure that many people would start focusing on him later. no matter what the situation was, jiang liushi needed more information on his enemies.
âwell, iâm not sure. she seldom talked about what she heard from others. and i didnât ask her to tell me,â replied wei feifei.
jiang liushi nodded and praised peach in his mind. she was quite a smart girl.
âlet me check her.â this time, li yuxin came out of the minibus. she gently placed her hands on peachâs forehead, but the latter didnât show any responsive signs. she was like an empty husk.
soon after, li yuxin withdrew her hands and said to wei feifei, âif you trust me, then please let me have a try. i may be able to heal her⦠at least, i can try.â
wei feifei was shocked by li yuxinâs words, and then she looked at jiang liushi. it was obvious that jiang liushi trusted li yuxin a lot.
âcan she?â wei feifei clenched peachâs hands.
then she thought about it carefully, and looked up suddenly, âwell, please help usâ¦â
âgood.â li yuxin nodded. although she had never tried to heal a mental injury like that, she still decided to try. from the moment she joined the team until now, she had always been helping ran xiyu to recover her strength and ease her mental burden, so she had gained plenty of experience. dr. ning that wei feifei mentioned earlier had also piqued li yuxinâs interest. thus, she decided to do something more with her power.
after that, they all boarded the minibus. li yuxin helped wei feifei put peach on the bed, while sun kun and zhang hai found a damaged vehicle to follow behind the minibus.
âwhen peach awakens, iâd like to ask her some questions,â said jiang liushi.
âyou can ask her whatever you want. youâve already rescued us twiceâ¦â said wei feifei.
jiang liushi just smiled but didnât say anything. after all, he had helped them for simple reasons. the reason he had agreed with li yuxinâs request to save peach wasnât only because he wanted to ask her a few questions.
âi donât want to lose my human touch,â thought jiang liushi. naturally, he would not say those words to wei feifei.
then, jiang liushi looked at the minibusâ holographic image. âletâs see the long-awaited upgrade now.â
