Chapter 370: Chapter 12: You Really Don’t Seem Like a Human
Song You’s entire body was still covered with a faint blue light. She knew this was Li Chang’an’s method of controlling her.
Inside the space, it remained peaceful, laden with fruit. The aquatic plants were lush, full of vitality. The fruits beneath the trees were piled up just as they always were, and the large green fish in the pond continued swimming leisurely.
Everything was so free, everything was so quiet.
But this space, which should have belonged to her, was something she could now only look at, unable to touch.
Song You remembered the hatred from her two lifetimes, and her eyes grew increasingly frenzied. The things that were hers, she couldn’t use them nor would she allow Li Chang’an, that murderer, to use them for fame and fortune!
Since she had nothing to lose, her state of mind became progressively manic.
"Li Chang’an, don’t you just want my life? I won’t let you get away with it!"
"Let me tell you, my ability comes from a space. Everything you want—food, land, better seeds, fields of ripe rice, wheat, sprawling orchards... anything you can think of, everything you’re desperate to protect, it’s all here."
"But the space is bound to my soul. If I’m not willing, you can’t get it. I’m sure you’ve done all the checks during this time, haven’t you?"
She lifted her head, proudly looking at her enemy before her: "I want you to pay the price."
...
Li Chang’an’s expression was cold and solemn.
Seeing through Song You’s arrogance after despair, he roughly understood her mentality—frankly, he didn’t care at all about the enemy’s meanness.
In this world, there are simply too many who only find reasons in others.
And now he just needed to sit back and wait for her to make demands.
After all, this foolish woman had said one thing right—they had exhausted every experimental means, but couldn’t detect the presence that shouldn’t exist from her.
That was also the reason she was still kept around at this moment.
In the cold, closed laboratory, Li Chang’an’s expression grew increasingly calm—
Song You didn’t deserve to live at all.
...
...
...
As a hero known for laziness and idleness, willing to die rather than plant fields and grow bean sprouts, Chu Aiguo was at home gaming to the point of oblivion.
She had no choice; with nothing to eat, all she could do was play.
Suddenly, the base broadcast sounded again:
[All communities, please send one representative per family to the City Administrative Hall Square...]
She put down her game console, unable to suppress her curiosity.
——Li Chang’an had an epiphany, deciding to hold a meeting instead of farming today?
Thinking for a moment, she tossed the game controller aside and decided to join in the excitement.
...
The square in front of the City Administrative Hall was originally a parking lot, but since everyone was now obsessed with farming, there were only a few staff in the office, and naturally, fewer cars.
At Li Chang’an’s command, a wide area was quickly cleared.
And in the very center of the venue, Song You, wearing prison clothes, was no longer wrapped in spiritual power, now stood firmly there, held by two soldiers on her shoulders.
—This was her request.
She wanted to demonstrate her strength in front of everyone.
As a criminal who almost doomed the entire base, she had no right to make any demands. After enduring for three months, Li Chang’an was more determined than ever to claim her space.
The surroundings of the Red Star 24 Base were safe, but Zheng Country, with its vast land and abundant resources, still had many other bases suffering from insect difficulties that needed what Song You held to sweep them clear.
Today, all temptations paled before those three drops of Spiritual Spring.
Moreover, this vast ocean, winding land, this planet was the home of all humanity; no one wanted to leave behind the threat of insects.
Left to themselves, year after year of bitter endurance, they would eventually return to stable and happy lives, but Li Chang’an didn’t want that.
——Why should it be this way?
In his heart, he refused to accept defeat—so many of them had died.
Now, the entire country’s population is less than half of what it was at the founding, and everyone is working so hard and doing everything they can to survive. Why, when technology is so advanced, should they still face the crisis of hunger?
As such, the more grueling it became, the more he was determined to extract the information about that space from Song You’s mouth.
Song You didn’t have the mind to detect his intentions, but it didn’t stop her with her small-mindedness, wanting to drag someone down with her before she died.
