1220 Wake Up in Turns

Lin Wenwen absorbed one level-three nucleus and two level-four nuclei in a row, then suddenly felt relieved as the surging energy inside her brain all shrank back into her nucleus.

Then, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up on the ground. She stood up and looked around, then walked to the wall nearby and touched it. The wall is had a strange texture. It was as cold and hard as glass.

There was no window, or even a door. The room had no air vent at all, but she could still breathe.

What was happening? Was that room Dong Xinxin's space? Dong Xinxin had told Lin Wenwen that her body was in her space. Now, since Lin Wenwen had returned to her own body, had the same thing happen to Dong Xinxin?

What should she do now? Could she go back to the future already? She didn't think so. Dong Xinxin didn't seem to have fully recovered.

Lin Wenwen assumed that Dong Xinxin had returned to her own body, but didn't know how long she could stay there. Perhaps, Lin Wenwen needed to stay in her space so she could take over the latter's body when she was exhausted.

After figuring that out, Lin Wenwen sat down and took a book as well as a pack of sunflower seeds, along with a small flashlight out of her own space. She decided to spend some time reading.

Dong Xinxin's space was very dark, so Lin Wenwen could only read under the light of the flashlight.

At that time, Dong Xinxin had calmed down under her parents' comforting and sat back on the bed. She was so thrilled just now, which had consumed her energy largely. So now, she looked a little tired.

Dong Xinxin sat on the bed and said to her family peacefully, "The one who was in my body before is another girl from the future. There might be some kind of connection between her and me that caused me to bring her back from the future. When I fully recover, I'll have to send her back to seven years from now."

Her parents and brother looked at her in shock. Dong Lijia stared at her the way he would stare at an alien and said, "You can send people to seven years from now? Are you a time machine?"

"You're a machine!" Dong Xinxin picked up a pillow to hit him. But then, she weakly dropped her shoulders and said, "It'll happen in about seventy days. Brother, get me a pen and paper. I'll write you a name list. Bring those people to our place in any way. You can lie to them or kidnap them. And, there are some people in our family we can't allow to stay."

Dong Xinxin had a sad look on her face when she said the last few words. Those people couldn't stay in the family because they would turn into zombies. The old butler was one of them.

On hearing her words, the other three figured something out. They glanced at each other, then grew sad as well. They understood that the people on Dong Xinxin's name list were all trustworthy who would survive the apocalypse day.

Dong Lijia found a notebook and a pen from Dong Xinxin's desk, then let her write.

Mr. and Mrs. Dong made eye contact with each other. They wanted to ask Dong Xinxin about what would happen in the future. However, recalling what she said earlier and how emotional she was, they gave up on that idea. Since their daughter was from the future, she surely knew what would happen in the next seven years. As her parents, they only needed to follow her instructions.

While writing, Dong Xinxin said to them, "There are some other people. I will try to help you guys avoid them in the future. If one day you guys meet any of them, you should try your best to stay away from them for your own safety."

"Don't we still have two months?" Dong Lijia finally asked a question, "Isn't it too early to find these people now?"

"In the last half a month, we need to leave this place for Sea City," said Dong Xinxin, "Because there will be a base for survivors. We need to get there in advance. Also, we need to separate the supplies that we now have and hide them in different places. We can't take them all with us."

Then, she raised her head and looked at Dong Lijia as she said to him, "Brother, you do that first. Divide those supplies into small batches, the smaller the better. Hide them anywhere you can find. The hiding spots can't be more than three hundred miles away from Sea City though."

Hiding supplies in separate places was a good thing. After all, if the supplies were hidden in just one place, one accident could ruin it all.

"Sure, I'll do it," Dong Lijia nodded and said.

"Remember, hide them in high buildings and seal them up," Dong Xinxin thought for a moment and added.

She finished the name list and tore the page off, handing it to her family as she said, "This is the name list. The ones on top are relatively far away from us. Go for them… first…"

However, while she was handing the piece of paper to Dong Lijia, she suddenly tilted her head and fell into silence even without finishing her words. The name list drifted off her hand and fell on the bed.

"Xinxin?" The three gave a start and hurriedly came closer to the Dong Xinxin. They held her and found that she had passed out again.

At the same time, Lin Wenwen, who was eating sunflower seeds while reading a book under the flashlight, froze for a moment and then fell to the ground. The flashlight rolled away on the ground, and the book fell on her chest.

She woke up to feel bright light, then saw the ceiling in Dong Xinxin's bedroom again.

"Xinxin?" Dong Lijia's voice was heard.

Lin Wenwen turned and saw Dong Lijia and his parents standing at the bedside, looking at her.

"I'm not her…" She sat up and said to the three, then pressed her temples with her fingers, feeling dizzy. On hearing what she said, the three instantly wore disappointment on their faces.

Lin Wenwen understood what had happened. "Dong Xinxin was back, wasn't she? How long did she stay for?"

She remembered reading the big half of the book in that small space. She spent at least one and a half hour.

"Less than ten minutes," Dong Lijia said.

At the same time, he felt relieved. Thankfully, the other person in Dong Xinxin's body wasn't a man. Earlier, Dong Xinxin told him that she was a girl, which made him feel relieved.

"Eh? Less than ten minutes?" Lin Wenwen was surprised.

"Is something wrong?" Mrs. Dong couldn't help but ask the question with a mild tone.

Lin Wenwen looked at Mrs. Dong as she shook her head and said, "Oh, nothing. I guess we are both in a special condition. We have different time perception."
