Chapter 146: The First Zombie Wave
Colluded with Guo Zhehao to plot against Chu Yuan?
After hearing this, Chen Bai asked belatedly, "Where’s Chu Yuan?"
The first team had returned, but why was their captain...
"He’s missing." Jiang Ran was expressionless. "Maybe he committed suicide for love, or maybe..."
"Committed suicide for love?" Zhong Qian was already confused. "Wait, Guo Zhehao should be in Xiling base, right? Who did Captain Chu commit suicide for love with?"
"Why, do you think Chu Yuan should commit suicide for love with Guo Zhehao?" Jiang Ran asked in surprise.
Zhong Qian, "...No." The man took a deep breath. "I mean, you said Guo Zhehao wanted to plot against Chu Yuan. I remember Guo Zhehao stayed at Xiling base this time."
"He left the base subsequently."
"Where’s he then?"
"He was eaten by a mutant python in Beihe base."
"..." Mutant python? What was that?
"Because of Guo Zhehao's machination, the girl Chu Yuan liked died, so Chu Yuan committed suicide for love."
"..." What was all this?
Shen Bai's gaze shifted from Jiang Ran.
He stood up and looked at Si Xu. "Let's talk."
Without waiting for Si Xu to answer, he left the resting team and walked to the side of the road.
Si Xu touched Jiang Ran's head. "You carry on with the story."
Jiang Ran narrowed her eyes. "Oh."
After Si Xu followed Shen Bai, Zhong Qian felt that the cold temperature had risen, and the pressure around him had lessened.
"Miss Jiang." In line with his job responsibilities as the right-hand man of the captain of the second team, he tried his best to gather information. "You said that Zou Yun and Guo Zhehao colluded to plot against Captain Chu. Do you have evidence?"
"Yes." Jiang Ran dragged out her tone. "I eavesdropped."
Zhong Qian, "..." You eavesdropped? Even if you really eavesdropped, no one would believe it. After all, you had killed Zou Yun.
"Oh, by the way," Jiang Ran continued to tell the story casually, "before Guo Zhehao died, he also said that the Shen family participated in this operation."
Not knowing whether she was telling the truth or deliberately testing the waters, Zhong Qian said solemnly, "Impossible. Marshal Shen asked Captain Chu to go to Beihe base. If anything happened to Captain Chu, Professor Si would definitely be angry at Marshal Shen."
After a pause, he glanced at the man standing shoulder to shoulder with Shen Bai, and smiled bitterly. "Miss Jiang, a normal person wouldn’t want to provoke the anger of someone like Professor Si. The Yu family’s outcome is a good example."
Jiang Ran looked at the advisor who worked for Shen Yang and smiled somewhat unexpectedly.
It seemed that Shen Lang didn’t tell Shen Yang about his collaboration with Wei Yage? Or did Shen Yang keep it from his trusted aide?
Yes, even Zhong Qian knew how stupid it was to plot against Chu Yuan this time, but Shen Lang did it. She didn't know if he was obsessed or too confident in himself.
On the side of the road, avoiding the others, Shen Bai stopped and turned to look at Si Xu.
His eyes were cold, and his gaze was filled with anger.
"Si Xu, is Chu Yuan really dead?"
Knowing what he would ask, Si Xu responded absentmindedly, "Who knows, he may still be alive."
Knowing Si Xu to a certain extent, Shen Bai asked in a deep voice, "Are the things Ranran said true?"
"I'm not sure whether what happened to her at Xiling base is true or not, but what happened at Beihe laboratory is true."
Yes, he didn't know what happened at Xiling base because he followed them to Yancheng.
Shen Bai pondered. "Si Xu, if Chu Yuan is really dead, what are your plans next?"
As expected, he asked that. Si Xu glanced at Jiang Ran and looked away. "I don't have any plans."
He didn't have any plans? Shen Bai frowned, not very satisfied with this answer.
"Are you going to let Ranran mess around?"
"She’s not messing around." Si Xu was slightly displeased. "Shen Bai, you shouldn't underestimate your sister."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to join Jiang Ran.
He shouldn't underestimate Jiang Ran? No matter how he viewed Jiang Ran, he couldn't change her plan to make a big fuss after she returned to the base,
right? Shen Bai smiled bitterly, but could do nothing about it.
……
Shen Lang didn’t expect the first team to come back with Shen Bai's team. Shen Lang had a headache when he heard the news.
"Chu Yuan didn't come back. According to the information we got, Chu Yuan is very likely dead," Luo Rui reported in a low voice. "Guo Zhehao didn't come back either."
"Very likely?" Shen Lang snorted. "Has anyone seen his body? As long as no one has seen his body, everything is just our guess."
Luo Rui pursed her lips and didn't answer.
"Where's Ranran?"
"She came back with the team." Luo Rui's eyes landed on the three words "Jiang Ranran" in the report, and she clenched her fingers imperceptibly.
"Tsk, why hasn't Wei Yage come back yet?"
By right, there was no useful information in Zhoushan base, and Wei Yage's trip was just a show. However, the team that went to Beihe laboratory had returned, yet there was no news about Wei Yage.
Luo Rui frowned and looked at the information in her hand. "Captain Wei should have returned by now. Could there have been an accident on the way?"
Shen Lang sighed, and felt that everything wasn’t going as he wished. "Where’s Yang?"
"Captain Shen went out of the city to pick up Ranran and the others."
Shen Yang took the initiative to go out of the city to pick them up in order to get the Shen family out of trouble before Si Xu started to make trouble.
Shen Lang held his forehead and sighed. "It's been hard on him."
Hearing the old man's sigh, Luo Rui had a completely opposite view.
She didn't think that man was in a difficult situation. Instead, he looked very happy.
"Marshal Shen, are Captain Shen Yang and Ranran on good terms?"
Shen Lang was stunned. "Why do you ask that?"
"It just feels like... Captain Shen Yang dotes on Ranran." He wasn’t just being doting. From the perspective of a bystander like her, he often seemed to indulge her unconditionally.
As if hearing a joke, Shen Lang let out an emotionless laugh. "You're wrong. Yang treats all women the same."
Doted on Ranran? How was that possible? He knew better than anyone what kind of person his grandson was.
He was a heartless playboy. He would never really care about anyone.
"You see that he dotes on Ranran, but it's just some superficial efforts to coax a girl like Ranran."
Really? Luo Rui almost blurted out her doubt, but after seeing the old man's smug look, she swallowed it back.
It was just some superficial efforts? It was just acting? But why did she feel that many of the things Shen Yang did were clearly to help Jiang Ranran out?
For example, the pursuit after Jiang Ranran escaped this time.
If those superhumans were assigned to give chase, she was confident that she could catch Jiang Ranran before she arrived at Beihe laboratory. However, because of Shen Yang's words, Shen Lang withdrew the pursuers without hesitation...
The old man trusted his eldest grandson very much. Luo Rui didn't plan to say more, and left the office after bowing slightly.
……
Luo Rui had just walked out of the office when a staff member hurried along the corridor. When he saw her, he felt like he had found support.
"Assistant Luo, there's big trouble outside!"
Luo Rui frowned and reprimanded him, "Don't panic and make a fool of yourself."
The staff member didn't bother to respond to her. He grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "There’s a zombie wave outside the base..."
"Aren't there superhuman teams patrolling?"
"Captain Gu and Captain Qin both took people to the city wall." The man took a breath and described the situation outside in one breath, "But a wave of zombies has come and surrounded the entire base. The superhuman teams left behind in the base now may not be able to cope with the situation!"
