Chapter 181: Saving Ye Xiu from the Weird World

After Lin Meng finished speaking, Ye Xiu was visibly stunned, but his body had been so ravaged he could no longer make any movement, and his words of defense sounded weak and feeble.

"Sister, I'm not a freak; I was framed by them just because my awakened ability level is higher than theirs, so they teamed up against me. I, I promise you, I will never degenerate into a freak."

Although Lin Meng didn't know much about this weird world, from the information she scavenged on that street at the time she learned that most of the world's weirdness comes from invasions from other realms.

When people encounter a freak, even if they are scratched or bitten, they do not become infected and turn into zombies or freaks the way they would from a zombie injury.

For humans to degenerate into freaks, they must actively devour a freak's inner core, then be catalyzed by negative emotions such as resentment, obsession, and curses before they can become freaks.

Ye Xiu had been harmed by others and already bore resentment; if he had an inner core, turning into a freak would be a matter of moments.

Reason told Lin Meng that Ye Xiu was now dangerous, but when she met his stubborn, unyielding eyes, her heart again felt an inappropriate sympathy.

"Sister, please save me, I swear that if you rescue me I will surely repay you and never go back on my word."

"I am a student in Class 8, Senior Year 3 at Nancheng High School, living at No. 444, Building 4, West City; I still have a younger sister at home—I can't die, please help me, sister..."

Ye Xiu's voice gradually grew fainter, his breath becoming extremely weak.

Hearing this, Lin Meng took a deep breath and decided to help the poor boy.

If he ultimately did become a freak, she would personally see him off.

But if he managed to pull through without becoming a freak, that too would count as her doing a good deed.

His will to survive is so strong; he should be given a chance.

After thinking, Lin Meng pinched out a Return Spring Pill from her space, intending to test whether the pill would work.

But before she could approach Ye Xiu, a strong suction suddenly swept over.

Lin Meng thought, "Oh no, the time is up," especially at this critical moment!

Before she could even toss the pill, this heaven and earth forcibly expelled her.

In that instant, she only had time to shout toward Ye Xiu, "Wait for me," and then she vanished on the spot.

Watching the pretty older sister suddenly disappear before his eyes, Ye Xiu was shocked and dismayed.

But what followed immediately was endless despair and unwillingness...

Lin Meng was flung out; unprepared, she fell sitting on her buttocks in the third space, gazing with a complex expression at the tightly closed door before her.

A red countdown began to tick slowly, likewise Ye Xiu's death countdown.

Lin Meng licked her dry lips, inwardly unable to stop feeling anxious.

Having already decided to save that boy, yet at the crucial moment she was forcibly sent out; she ought to have acted earlier, and she doesn't know whether Ye Xiu can hold on until she returns.

Lin Meng felt somewhat guilty; she still held Ye Xiu's student ID in her hand.

A vibrant life—could it really just end like this?

After regaining her composure, Lin Meng exited the space.

This time she stayed in that door for a full half hour before being forcibly transmitted out.

But that amount of time isn't enough to do anything; next time perhaps she could bring a vehicle in, which would increase the speed and efficiency of exploration.

Otherwise, when would she ever be able to leave that street?

Lin Meng took a deep breath; she could only temporarily set aside Ye Xiu's matter.

The twenty-four-hour countdown is mandatory; she cannot force the door open, so she can only pray that Ye Xiu's classmate's vitality will be even stronger.

Perhaps because of Ye Xiu's matter, that day Lin Meng felt uneasy; she bumped into things several times while walking during the day, causing her original plan to consolidate her cultivation to be put aside as well.

In the afternoon, Lin Meng went to a department store and stocked up on some supplies for herself.

She also went to the market and bought a sturdy little donkey, had someone modify its battery and body structure to ensure increased speed.

At night, Lin Meng went to sleep early to rest her spirit; the next day she refused all outings and stayed peacefully in the third space.

As soon as the countdown ended, Lin Meng rushed in, quickly retrieved the modified electric scooter, and sped toward that theater.

Today's temperature seems to have dropped several degrees more than yesterday's, and Lin Meng's heart tightened along with it.

On the inner field stage, a solitary figure still hung, fortunately there remained a faint breath.

Lin Meng hurriedly rushed over, gazing at Ye Xiu with a complex look.

"Ye Xiu classmate, open your eyes and look at me."

While speaking with Ye Xiu, Lin Meng had already reached out to untie the red cloths binding him, gently placing him on the ground.

Ye Xiu's body had already grown somewhat stiff; the bloody smell in this sub-zero temperature seemed to be frozen as well, the scent very faint.

Seeing his face turn purplish-black, Lin Meng quickly fetched a thick cotton blanket from her space and wrapped him completely.

After thinking, Lin Meng took out the Return Spring Pill, pried open Ye Xiu's mouth, and sent the pill inside.

After a moment, Ye Xiu remained motionless, and Lin Meng began to feel anxious.

Could it be that the elixir from the cultivation world is ineffective in this weird world?

No, it shouldn't be; the pill works in Ye Heng's wasteland world, so it should work here too.

Lin Meng hadn't thought to bring hot water in; now going back to her space to get it would obviously take too long, so she could only take out the only drink she had, the cola she had intended to leave for Ye Fan.

She carefully fed Ye Xiu a few sips of cola.

Fortunately, although he was unconscious, he could still swallow things.

Not long after, Ye Xiu finally showed a response.

He slightly fluttered his heavy eyelids, lifted his eyelids to gaze blankly at Lin Meng, gradually regaining awareness, and tears suddenly welled up.

"Sister, you came to save me."

He choked up; a day and night of despair had nearly consumed him, yet that sliver of hope to live made him grit his teeth and persevere.

He still couldn't die; his younger sister was waiting for him at home.

And those who harmed him, the chief culprits, have not yet received their due punishment!

Seeing Ye Xiu finally awake, Lin Meng hurriedly asked with concern:

"How do you feel now? Do you feel a bit more alive?"

Ye Xiu nodded earnestly, tears still uncontrollable, but the gloom of despair weighing down his heart seemed to have already dispersed.

He has come back to life; he won't die.

"Thank you, older sister, I feel much better."

Ye Xiu indeed felt much better; the pain on his body had vanished, his cold body grew warm, and the drained strength began to recover bit by bit.

Lin Meng fed him a few more sips of cola; soon she saw Ye Xiu's complexion improve greatly, and her heart settled.

Ye Xiu moved his arm and found that the arm that had been twisted broken was completely healed, and the tendon on his wrist that had been cut had returned to its original state.

He hurriedly propped himself up to sit, carefully examined his condition, and then secretly felt shocked.

The fractures and breaks on his body from the beating were all healed, even the external injuries disappeared; more importantly, the tendons in his hands and feet that those beasts had severed had also completely returned to their original state!

For a moment, Ye Xiu stared at Lin Meng in shock.

What price did this beautiful older sister pay to save him?

Could it be that she is a top-tier healer?
