When talking about the reason why Song Yaling was injured, the administrator had a headache. “All the patients in Area F are mentally ill. None of them are normal. There are more and more people, and the base has no better management method for the time being.” 

But although these people are mentally ill, they still pick on the weak ones. Those who are aggressive and violent tend to bully the frail or women. 

There are administrators present, but they don’t have three heads and six arms or the ability to see through everything. Moreover, these people are not normal; training or education is useless. 

There is a disciplinary department, but is it useful to discipline lunatics? 

Song Yaling has suffered the worst bullying, targeted by both men and women. Administrators have intervened countless times; the perpetrators may apologize when they are lucid, but they lose all humanity during their episodes.  

Song Yaling was also a hopeless case. Except for calling Jiang Ning, she was suffering most of the time. 

After several discussions, the administrators believe her mental state isn’t too severe. With active cooperation, she could be treated and eventually transferred to Area E.  

Area E is inhabited by people with purely physical illnesses. The mental illness is not as serious as those in Area F, so they have to participate in labor to get food. 

But as for Song Yaling… Her thoughts are particularly complicated. 

Even in the base, it’s a survival of the fittest; if the administrator were in Song Yaling’s position, to say the least, if someone dared to bully her repeatedly, she’d make sure they faced the consequences! 

After all, everyone has only one life, so who’s afraid of whom? 

But Song Yaling is different. She habitually avoids problems. She thinks she’s smart, but what she does is stupid. She always puts her hopes on others. 

She can’t help herself but fantasizes about others unconditionally helping her, ultimately bringing about her own demise. 

However, as an administrator, some things cannot be said. 

Listening to the administrator, Jiang Ning remained expressionless.  

The woman in front of her was abnormally thin, and it is really impossible to associate her with the pampered Song Yaling of the past.  

The Song Yaling, who likes to rely on others all her life. 

But Jiang Ning really doesn’t understand what Song Yaling was thinking. As a person who forced herself to give birth, throw her into an orphanage in the blink of an eye, ignored her for more than ten years, and even wanted to kill for her own benefit. Why does she keep talking about her? 

Chen Yanfei was her beloved daughter, and Gu Tinging was the light of her life; why weren’t they the ones she was obsessively thinking about now? 

Jiang Ning looked at the broken Song Yaling, who was having more and more difficulty breathing. 

Song Yaling tried to reach out but found that she couldn’t. With blood all over her face, she tried desperately to smile. “Jiang, Jiang… Ning, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” 

After speaking, her arm fell down.  

Her eyes were wide open, yet they never closed. 

In her dying moments, her life flashed in her eyes like a fleeting lantern show.  

It was like a long dream; she did not give up the child in her belly and stubbornly waited for her beloved to come back.  

She waited.  

Then she had a child, a wedding, and lived happily with her family of three.  

Jiang Ning, I’m sorry. 

Gu Tinging, I’m sorry. 

She dared to love but lacked the courage to see it through to the end. 

She wanted everything but ended up with nothing. 

What she gained wasn’t truly what she wanted.  

The hospital has a procedure for how to deal with the dead. Jiang Ning stared at Song Yaling and turned away. She didn’t return to her job but went to the hospital entrance to get some fresh air. Just as she reached the door, Rong Sanshao came running over breathlessly. 

Jiang Ning frowned. “Aren’t you supposed to be working?” 

Rong Sanshao stared at her. “Yes, but I ate too much last night and haven’t digested it yet, so I came out to run a few laps.” 

Jiang Ning looked at him a few times. “You look like a starving ghost reincarnated, not someone with indigestion.” 

Rong Sanshao smiled and said casually, “Sister, I want to smoke.” 

What a joke; he just had a case of the itch.  

However, Jiang Ning did have expired cigarettes in her hand. “Your brother-in-law has a few more; I’ll give them to you when I have time.” 

“Sister, you’re so good to me.” 

Jiang Ning was caught off guard for a bit. “Who told you to be so thick-skinned? I can’t even drive you away.” 

Since he was calling her “sister,” it wasn’t too much to give him a little sweet treat occasionally. 

“Sister, do you know who I was partying with last night?” 

Jiang Ning was not interested. “Wasn’t it someone from the southern military base?” 

“Yeah, Liu Cheng was there too.” Rong Sanshao remained his carefree self. “There are several people who brought their relatives and friends. One of them seems to be a survivor of the transport ship in Shandong Province. He said they encountered a ghost ship in the Demon Sea, which was loaded with food and medicine.” 

Jiang Ning’s expression did not change, but her heart skipped a beat. 

At that time, she had never thought that she would come to the New Homeland one day. 

Out of a deep connection to those who were suffering and stranded, she donated generously since she couldn’t use it all anyway. 

Unexpectedly, it actually left a hidden danger for herself. 

Rong Sanshao continued carelessly, “He talked too much and bit his tongue. Liu Cheng even had to give him herbs to stop the bleeding.” 

A chill crept up from the soles of Jiang Ning’s feet.  

Rong Sanshao patted his empty stomach. “I was originally having indigestion, but who knew that after running a lap, it cleared up.”  

He looked at her deeply, then waved and turned to say goodbye. “Sister, I’m going back to move bricks.” 

Jiang Ning watched him go, lost in thought for a long time.  

She repeated the conversation she just had several times, and then went to find Huo Yishen. 

It was nearly noon when she found him, and he looked at her confused. “What brings you here?” 

The two were always clear about their work and personal matters. Unless there was something special, Jiang Ning wouldn’t come during work hours.  

Jiang Ning’s expression was not very good, and she pulled Huo Yishen to a secluded corner. “The space has been exposed.” 

Huo Yishen was stunned. “What happened?” 

Jiang Ning told Huo Yishen about what happened at the gathering last night. 

This was indeed a mistake. 

While there was a reasonable explanation for what they had given Liu Cheng, the resources from the two fishing boats were harder to justify.  

It can only be said that people’s plans change at any time. If those boxes had not been salvaged from the bottom of the sea, they might not have thought of coming to a new homeland at all. 

Everything was so coincidental. The transport ship of Shandong Province arrived successfully and the crew just happened to attend the gathering, while Liu Cheng happened to be there as well. 

Rong Sanshao was not only there but had also pieced things together. 

If even him could guess it, so what about Liu Cheng? 

Did this mean they had to eliminate everyone?  

How many would that be? The Shandong Province transport ship had over five hundred people, and there were dozens at the gathering yesterday… 

That was far too many. 

Liu Cheng was skilled, but he was also honest and stubborn. Would he reveal the truth or be led into a trap?  

For example, someone like Jiang Guanshan, the old fox, would likely pry information out of him, no matter how much Liu Cheng wanted to keep it quiet.  

Additionally, Rong Sanshao came to deliver the warning today, but who’s to say he wouldn’t regret it later? 

Once people have doubts or greed, they will either follow the clues or unravel the mystery, or test it endlessly. 

Both had lived through two lives and had seen the darkness of human nature.  

Whether it was individuals or the base that became interested, they wouldn’t care if you acknowledged it or not.  

Once they were convinced, they don’t need any evidence at all. 

And what awaited Jiang Ning was beyond imagination. 

Huo Yishen looked serious, and after a while he said, “Anning, let’s leave.” 

He couldn’t afford to take risks and certainly wouldn’t gamble. 

The contributions he was supposed to make had already been completed in his previous life. 

In this life, all he could do was protect those he cared about as best he could.  

“Leave?” Jiang Ning was stunned. 

After living here for a few months, everything is developing in a good direction. Not only do the brother and sister have a promising career, but even her heart is at peace. 

She looked at him. “Are you willing to leave?” 

Huo Yishen knew her concerns. “It’s not about whether I’m willing to leave or not. For me, being with my family is the most important thing.” 

Since he had taken on the responsibility of keeping the space hidden and benefitted from them, he also had to accept the consequences if those secrets were exposed one day. 

This place is good, and he also wants to stay and settle down, but no matter how reluctant he was, family was more important. 

“Let’s leave now to avoid more trouble.” 

Jiang Ning came back to her senses. “Okay.”
