Chapter 153: Seriously Injured
The sixth team led by Wei Yage finally returned after the first wave of zombie siege ended, but the time of their return was different from what was described in the original novel.
In the original novel, Wei Yage also led a team to Zhoushan base, but she had rushed back before the zombies attacked the city and participated in this battle. Her performance was brilliant and attracted many supporters.
"Oh, it's Wei Yage." Qiao Yi leaned against the wall, pulled his hood down, and squinted at the inspected convoy. "What good timing. If they’d returned earlier, they’d probably be gnawed by zombies and only bones would be left. "
Jiang Ran stared at the convoy without saying a word.
Qiao Yi didn't expect her to answer, and continued to mutter to himself, "Eh, come to think of it, I didn't see Chu Yuan? Didn't he come back with you?"
"Chu Yuan..." Jiang Ran finally responded with a flat voice, "Chu Yuan is dead."
"Dead?" Qiao Yi didn't show any sadness or discomfort, but just sighed with some regret. "Xue Weixin said a long time ago that the fight among the people in the base management is disgusting, and advised them to get out of it as soon as possible, sigh."
Xue Weixin? She had never heard of that name. She guessed he was once an experimental subject too.
Jiang Ran tilted her head and looked at Qiao Yi. "You don't seem sad at all?"
"What's there to be sad about?" Qiao Yi shrugged indifferently, "People like us are lucky not to have died in the laboratory in the early years. It's no big deal even if we die now..."
"Hey." Interrupting the youth's mumbling, Jiang Ran pulled his hood with a bit of force, causing the youth to stagger.
"What are you doing?!" The boy adjusted his hood and scowled, "If you pull my hood again, I’ll turn against you, Jiang Ranran."
Facing his angry and embarrassed gaze, Jiang Ran smiled faintly and said seriously, "Qiao Yi, you still owe me a life."
"I remember that!" The youth continued fiercely, "You don't have to remind me all the time!"
Jiang Ran ignored his anger and said, "Since you owe me a life, you must take good care of your life now. If you die, how can you repay my kindness for not killing you?"
Qiao Yi snorted and looked up at the sky. "It's not that easy for me to die."
The sky was as clear as yesterday. The sun was warm, and the breeze was gentle, lulling people to sleep. Only the stench in the air reminded everyone of the crisis of the apocalypse.
Kicking aside the frozen mutant bird blocking his way, Si Xu found Gu Yunqing and Su Qin at a corner.
The captain of the third team was dozing off on his lover's shoulder.
Hearing footsteps, Su Qin straightened up subconsciously. "Seventh Brother."
Gu Yunqing was thrown to the ground and almost rolled down the stairs.
"Ouch." The man rubbed his eyes and got up. "Si Xu, didn't you go back to rest..." His sudden appearance would scare people with weak hearts to death.
"Wei Yage is back." Si Xu glanced at Gu Yunqing with disgust, then turned to look at Su Qin and said, "I want you to spread some news."
With serious business to attend to, Su Qin, who had taken a break from her busy schedule, put aside her casual attitude. "What news?"
"News about Chu Yuan..." After briefly stating the effect he wanted, Si Xu added, "Don't let Shen Lang find out the source of the news."
Su Qin understood what he meant. "I know what to do. Seventh Brother, don't worry."
"Okay." Of course Si Xu wasn’t worried. He didn't take this matter to heart at all. "I'm going to find Jiang Ran. You guys continue."
If one didn't know, one would think they were doing something shameful! Gu Yunqing, who had been listening to his instructions, found the right opportunity to interrupt, "Si Xu, why did you suddenly think of using such means? You wouldn’t go to such trouble before. "
If this had happened in the past, Si Xu would have rushed directly into the military command building and twisted Shen Lang into a dough twist. There wouldn't have been so many twists and turns.
"This isn't my plan, but Jiang Ran’s." Si Xu thought for a moment. "I think it's quite interesting, so..." Hence, he went along with her plan.
"I see." Gu Yunqing nodded.
Knowing that it was Jiang Ran’s plan, he was no longer surprised.
He just knew it. Si Xu wasn’t someone who cared about his reputation.
"Jiang Ran said that language is a panacea for saving lives, but also a weapon for killing people, so sometimes, it's okay to guide public opinion appropriately." Recalling the serious expression on her face when she said this, Si Xu said, "Those people's opinions—good or bad—aren’t worth my attention. Since that’s the case..."
He didn't care what those people thought, or what they thought of him. He never wasted his time on insignificant people.
Jiang Ran said that since it was a non-issue to him, he might as well let her handle it.
Si Xu drooped his eyelids lazily. "Anyway, it won't be worse than it is now."
"Did Sister Ranran say that?"
"Yeah." That was what Jiang Ran said, which showed how scary his bad reputation was in Jiang Ran's heart.
Why did you answer that so happily? Couldn’t you tell that Sister Ranran minded that about you? What was with your smug expression?
Gu Yunqing was dissing inwardly, but he appeared calm. "What Sister Ranran said makes sense. Seventh Brother, you should listen to Sister Ranran more."
In response, Si Xu rolled his eyes in disdain. "It has nothing to do with you."
The young man dragged his heavy steps to find Jiang Ran. Gu Yunqing's mouth twitched. "Si Xu is such a detestable guy—if I were Shen Lang, I’d also find ways to kill him. "
Su Qin made no effort to hide her disgust. "Before you could kill him, he’d twist you into a dough stick or freeze you into an ice sculpture." After saying that, she glanced at the frozen zombies.
Gu Yunqing shuddered, holding Su Qin's hand and walking away from the zombies. "Si Xu is such a psycho. This is the first time I've seen someone use water-type abilities like this—tell me, if he wants to kill someone, won't it be impossible to defend against him?"
"..."
"Just let him kill Shen Lang. It's more direct and convenient."
"Are you stupid? This isn’t like the chaos of the early days of the apocalypse—the Shen family's power has been established, and their influence and leadership in the base are unmatched by other families. If Seventh Brother really kills him—without a legitimate reason, how is Seventh Brother supposed to stay in the base?"
"Then kill all those who don't accept it," Gu Yunqing muttered to himself and knew that this wasn’t a good idea. "Sigh, I hate living among people precisely because of this—there are a lot of disputes when there are a lot of people, and there are all kinds of messes to consider."
……
Wei Yage returned with the sixth team. As soon as the team arrived at the base, medical staff came over and carried the injured in the car away.
"What happened? Is someone injured?"
"I heard that Captain Wei was injured, and seriously injured at that. She fell into a coma as soon as she arrived at the base."
"Oh my God, that serious? Did the sixth team also encounter a zombie attack?"
"It wasn’t a zombie, but a mutant beast–a python! I heard from the team members that the python has powerful superpowers. For some reason, it specifically chased them and they couldn't shake it off no matter how hard they tried. Captain Wei was injured in the battle and had no time to treat her injury..."
"Captain Wei is so pitiful..."
"Sigh, that's right. If Captain Wei survives this time, Marshal Shen will definitely reward her well."
"I hope Captain Wei will be fine."
After the sixth team returned, the topic of conversation among the people in the base changed from the zombie tide to the attack on the sixth team.
The zombies outside the city were still being cleared. Jiang Ran squatted by the wall and listened to the staff who were resting and gossiping.
It seemed that the people in the base had a good impression of Wei Yage, and they all felt sorry for her when they heard that she was injured.
If they knew that it was she who ordered the giant python to attack Wei Yage, she wondered if they would rush up and drown her with their spitting?
