Chapter 129: Teach You How To Behave
Half an hour passed, and Gu Yunqing still hadn't returned.
Su Qin replaced Gu Yunqing's patrol work and went to inspect the safety of the city walls.
Jiang Ran sat in the corridor outside the emergency room with her long legs stretched. She leaned against the wall, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
There were chaotic footsteps approaching, which sounded like a lot of people were coming.
Jiang Ran glanced sideways and raised her eyebrows. "Deputy Captain Zou?"
Like Guo Zhehao, Zou Yun, as the deputy captain of the sixth team, also stayed in the base this time.
He came in hurriedly, followed by superhumans wearing badges and several staff members in protective clothing.
He hesitated at the sight of Jiang Ran. He stopped, and whispered a few words to the people behind him.
Jiang Ran got up from the ground.
The girl stood in the middle of the corridor, blocking their way. She crossed her arms and said lightly, "Deputy Captain Zou, I wonder what brings you here late at night?"
"I received news that an ordinary person infected with the virus has appeared in the base." Stopping the people behind him, Zou Yun took two steps forward and stopped two steps away from Jiang Ran. "Miss Jiang, we’re here to take the infected person away."
"An ordinary person infected with the virus?" Jiang Ran had an indifferent smile on her face. "Are you talking about me?"
Not expecting her to bring trouble to herself, Zou Yun narrowed his eyes and looked serious. "Miss Jiang, I'm not kidding."
"I'm not kidding either." Jiang Ran's voice was still light, but laced with imperceptible irritability. "After the virus spreads in the air, everyone carries the virus. You said there’s an ordinary person infected with the virus here. If you're not talking about me, are you talking about Sister Shen Yao?"
"The virus lurks in the body and isn’t contagious, but once an ordinary person dies, he or she will undergo a transformation. Miss Jiang, must you make me be blunt with you? I received news that there’s an ordinary person dying here. In order to prevent her from hurting others after the transformation, we must take her to the isolation room."
"Who told you this news?" Jiang Ran changed the subject. "I'm curious."
"Sorry, this is confidential, I can't tell you." He had the right to refuse to answer her question –– as for who the informer was, just let this stupid woman slowly suspect the people around her!
"Since you don't want to answer my question, I'm sorry, I refuse your request." Jiang Ran did not give in. "As long as that person isn’t dead, I won't let you take her away. Even if she’s dead, I’ll kill her myself, so you don't have to do it."
The superhumans and the staff behind Zou Yun looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Zou Yun pushed his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows exasperatedly, and approached Jiang Ran with a gloomy face. "Miss Jiang, this is the rule in the base. If you don't get out of the way, forgive me for using coercive means."
As the man approached, a faint, clear fragrance drifted into Jiang Ran’s nose.
Jiang Ran's cold eyes suddenly ignited with fire.
The girl forced a cold smile and asked slowly, "Deputy Captain Zou, have you washed off the smell of blood on your body?"
Zou Yun's expression changed slightly, and his pupils trembled violently twice, but his tone was calm. "I don't know what you’re talking about."
"I suddenly remember that Deputy Captain Zou seems to be a third-level superhuman with water-type abilities?" All the clues were connected to form the complete situation. Jiang Ran looked at the person in front of her coldly and asked, "I wonder what news Qi Yao heard that shouldn't have been heard, that you had to silence her?"
"Jiang Ranran, don't talk nonsense!" Zou Yun had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth fearlessly. "Without evidence, you’re just maligning me."
"Whether it’s a false accusation or not, Qi Yao will know when she wakes up."
Not taking the girl's threat seriously, the man lowered his voice and sneered. "It's a pity that she’ll never have a chance to wake up."
He shouted without turning around, "Take the infected person away! If anyone stops you, according to the rules of the base, you can kill that person first and report later!"
What a mistake. I should have carefully checked whether the woman was dead or not at that time... She was clearly not breathing when I checked. How could she not be dead?
"Yes!"
"Let's see who dares to move!" A cold voice interrupted the actions of those people at the other end of the corridor.
Before Zou Yun could turn around to see who was talking, a very oppressive wind blade was unleashed, overturning the superhumans and staff crowded in the corridor, instantly piercing his shoulder and nailing him to the wall.
Because of the severe pain, his expression was terribly distorted, but he endured it and said nothing.
The accident happened all so suddenly.
Jiang Ran didn't bat an eye when the wind blade was unleashed.
After Zou Yun was subdued, she looked up at the person who was walking toward them quickly.
"Captain Gu."
Gu Yunqing had hurried back, followed by Song Rong and two other strangers.
Because the two people were covered all over, it could only be seen that they were a man and a woman from their figures. Jiang Ran couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Gu Yunqing stopped beside Jiang Ran and said to Song Rong, "Take them in first. Shen Yao is inside."
Song Rong nodded and motioned the people behind him to follow.
When they passed by her, Jiang Ran noticed that the slender figure seemed to have some difficulty walking.
……
In the corridor, Gu Yunqing glanced at Zou Yun, who had a distorted expression, and sneered. "Who gave you the authority to do as you wish here?"
After he appeared, the momentum of the people who came with Zou Yun was obviously much more restrained.
Only those with strength had the right to speak, and the weak should pull their heads in –– in the apocalypse, this was the way to survive.
"Captain Gu!" Zou Yun kept gasping cold air as he stared at Gu Yunqing with hatred and fear in his eyes. "I’m the deputy captain of the sixth team. Even if I made a mistake, it should be my captain who should punish me. Are you going to break the rule of the superhuman teams?"
"Do the superhuman teams have such a rule?" Jiang Ran looked at Gu Yunqing.
Gu Yunqing nodded almost imperceptibly. "After all, he’s Wei Yage's subordinate."
"Oh." Jiang Ran expressed her understanding.
She looked at Zou Yun, whose face was pale, and smiled faintly. "Deputy Captain Zou, if you tell me now why you hurt Qi Yao, I might let you off."
"Huh?" Zou Yun sneered, not taking Jiang Ran seriously at all. "I don't know what you’re talking about."
"Since you won't tell me, let me guess." Jiang Ran didn't expect to get an answer from him, and said, "If my guess is correct, the Beihe base and Zhoushan base this time are traps arranged by you guys, right?"
Zou Yun didn't reply, but his face seemed to be a little paler.
"Tonight, you met an important person, and that person played a crucial role in this plan..." Jiang Ran continued, "Your plan was foolproof, but unfortunately, Qi Yao who followed you overheard it, so you wanted to silence her, right?"
Zou Yun avoided the girl's gaze and pretended not to hear her.
"Silence means admission. Let me give it further thought. Who’s the person you met tonight? In this base, it must be Shen Lang's subordinate or... Guo Zhehao?"
The man's expression finally couldn't help but change.
Jiang Ran concluded, "You guys are going to deal with Chu Yuan."
Zou Yun was stunned. "You..." Don't talk nonsense!
Without waiting for Zou Yun to finish, Jiang Ran said, "Gu Yunqing, kill him!"
Gu Yunqing was stunned, and he thought he had heard it wrong.
Hearing this, Zou Yun wasn’t panicked. "Jiang Ranran, I’m the deputy captain of the sixth team. You have no right to deal with ..."
"Oh, I forgot, the superhuman teams have this rule." Jiang Ran fumbled around her waist. "Let me see where it is."
Zou Yun wanted to sneer a few more times when a cold glint flashed in front of his eyes. With a "whoosh", the sharp blade pierced his neck and nailed it to the wall.
Jiang Ran let go, and stepped back two steps seamlessly with an indifferent expression.
"I'm not a member of the superhuman team, so let me do it."
She said solemnly, as if praying, "Zou Yun, I forgive the mistakes you’ve made. I hope that when you go to hell, you can sincerely reflect on all the evil things you’ve done, so as not to be reborn as an animal in your next life."
