Chapter 134: The Secret Heard

The spring was warm and the breeze was gentle. There were a few zombies wandering around the dilapidated streets and alleys.

Qi Yao squatted behind the glass of a grocery store, holding binoculars and looking around.

After listening to the words of that strange youth, they left Xiling base overnight.

Xiling base was strictly inspected last night, but fortunately with Pei Xiao's special identity, they were able to leave safely.

However, it was almost noon now, and Ranran hadn’t appeared yet... Could the youth be lying to them?

Qi Yao scratched her hair anxiously, and heard a crisp sound from the street corner not far away.

It was the sound of metal scraping against the ground.

Qi Yao quickly looked over with the binoculars.

The manhole cover at the entrance of the sewer was moved away little by little, and a familiar figure climbed out from it. As soon as she appeared, she shot and killed several zombies wandering around...

"Ranran!" Qi Yao heaved a sigh of relief, and put away the binoculars. She pushed open the door and ran out. "Why did you come out from the sewer?"

"A friend found this path for me—help me take my bag."

Jiang Ran stuffed the bag into Qi Yao’s hands, bent down and moved the manhole cover back to its original position. She checked it carefully to make sure there was no problem.

"Phew..." She stood up and stretched herself. "I'm so tired."

She looked at Qi Yao, puzzled. "Why are you alone? Where's Captain Pei?"

Qi Yao pointed to the corner not far away. "Captain Pei went over there to refuel the car."

Jiang Ran took back her bag and put it on, sizing up Qi Yao. "Have you really recovered from your injury?"

Qi Yao patted her chest. "I’m completely okay now."

Jiang Ran nodded. "Stop patting it, it's flat to begin with."

Qi Yao, "..."

……

The three of them gathered at the gas station. Pei Xiao glanced at Jiang Ran. "Your combat skills are pretty good, but why are you still in such a wretched state?"

It was the first time someone praised her for her combat skills. Jiang Ran ignored his second half of the sentence and smiled. "My combat skills are just so-so. Si Xu taught me well."

After knowing that her superpower was to nullify other people's abilities, Si Xu commented on her ability, concluding with one word—useless.

After Si Xu and Su Qin's lesson, she also knew the demerit of her superpower. After listening to Si Xu's evaluation, she wasn’t angry, but just waited expectantly for him to give a solution.

Since Si Xu gave an evaluation, he must have a way to strengthen her ability...

That was what she thought.

In the end, Si Xu really had a solution.

"His method is to teach you how to kill people?" Whenever he talked about anything related to Si Xu, Pei Xiao would start his endless mocking mode. "A good girl like you insisted on learning such violent methods from him, tsk."

"What do you know?" Jiang Ran rolled her eyes at him. "If a good girl loses her life, there’s no point in being gentle and kind."

Pei Xiao sneered. "You’re his woman. Why, are you worried that he can't protect you?"

"I’m no one's woman." Jiang Ran's face turned cold. "I’m Si Xu's girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean I must depend on him to survive, or that I have to rely on him to solve any troubles I encounter. He has no obligation to protect me all the time—in this world, no one has the obligation to protect another person—since you’re the captain of the superhuman team in Dongchao base, I’m sure you know this truth better than me."

Everyone was an independent individual, and no one had the obligation to protect anyone.

The girl’s words carried a hidden meaning, and Pei Xiao didn’t refute her. He just pursed his lips and opened the car door.

"Get in the car, let's go."

……

The man drove, while Jiang Ran closed her eyes to rest. Qi Yao's eyes swept between the two of them and gently tugged at Jiang Ran's sleeve.

"Ranran, how did Professor Si teach you? Can you teach me?"

Like Jiang Ran, she was an ordinary person.

Jiang Ran was taught so well by Si Xu, so she also wanted to learn.

However, Captain Pei didn't seem to like Professor Si very much, nor did he like the way Professor Si taught, so she didn't dare to ask in front of him.

Jiang Ran pinched the girl's face like a hooligan. "Qi Yao, just let me protect you— that kind of violent method isn’t suitable for you."

Seeing the girl's actions in the rearview mirror, Pei Xiao's mouth twitched in speechlessness.

Qi Yao blushed and whispered, "But I don't want to be a hindrance to you guys."

Jiang Ran smiled. "Then wait until we find Captain Chu, and then you can let Captain Chu teach you—it's not a difficult training." One just had to be desperate and crazy, trying every means to take other people's lives in order to protect oneself.

Si Xu knew the extent of training—speed, strength, distance... He would control everything well and avoid really hurting her.

Although she had learned a lot, she wasn’t an old hand after all, and was worried about hurting Qi Yao—it would be better to let Captain Chu teach her.

Watching the two girls whispering, Pei Xiao felt like the third wheel.

He cleared his throat and interrupted their whispers, "Qi Yao, what did you hear last night?"

Since Zou Yun tried every means to kill her, this girl must have heard some important news.

Qi Yao shook her head and smiled sadly. "Actually, I didn't hear it clearly."

After everyone got off work, she waited for Jiang Ran in the lobby of the experimental base. To save electricity, she didn't turn on the lights.

She didn't know Zou Yun, but because of Chu Yuan, she knew Guo Zhehao.

At first, she followed them because she felt it was strange.

The deputy captain of Chu Yuan's team didn’t go out with the team on the mission. It was abnormal for him to come to such a sparsely populated place at this time.

"That person handed a tube of reagent to Deputy Captain Guo and asked him to leave the city as soon as possible and catch up with Chu Yuan."

He said that with that thing, Deputy Captain Guo could take Chu Yuan's life. Not only could Deputy Captain Guo avenge the person he liked, but after Chu Yuan's death, he could also become the captain of the first team—it was a good deal no matter how he thought about it.

"I was shocked. I didn't know how they discovered me."

When she said this, the girl looked sad.

She was too weak. If the person who heard the news at that time was Ranran or Su Qin, those people's plans would be completely thwarted.

Sensing the girl's self-reproach, Jiang Ran silently held her hand.

"Reagent?" Pei Xiao said, "Could it be a virus?"

The Shen family had their own laboratory. Maybe it was a new virus developed by the Shen family to deal with superhumans.

"If the reagent was really so powerful, Shen Lang would have used it to deal with Si Xu a long time ago." Jiang Ran sneered. "They deliberately lured Chu Yuan out of the base, which means they aren’t sure, or are buying time."

"You mean the reagent that Guo Zhehao got is likely to be a trial product?" They used Chu Yuan to experiment with their new reagent through Guo Zhehao.

"If that's the case..." Pei Xiao pondered, If Si Xu knew about it, Shen Lang would die a miserable death.

……

Hearing that Pei Xiao had left the base, Shen Yang finally came out of the basement and was able to breathe fresh air.

"Geez, Pei Xiao is finally gone." The young man slumped on the sofa, stretching his long arms and legs. "Uncle Zheng, Si Xu and Xiaobai have left the base. Ranran is home alone. Why not let her come over for lunch?"

When he mentioned Jiang Ran, Zheng Li's expression changed slightly. He looked away, and cleared his throat twice. "Miss Jiang is probably not in the base now."

Probably not in the base? What did "probably" mean? And why was she "not in the base"?
