Chapter 08 Chapter 8

Qiao Yanrou took some time to cook the supplements that Ji Yuanchen had sent her, and also sent a bowl of it to Ji Yuanchen next door.

She came to the door of the next suite with a cup of tonic. Although she didn't know why Ji Yuanchen wanted to give her the tonic, she kept it in mind that he hated people who had no strength.

“Knock knock…”

Because she was holding the supplements in both hands, she hit the door twice with her elbows.

I just saw Ji Yuanchen coming up from downstairs, he shouldn’t have come downstairs again, right?

There was no sound from inside, and the door was opened directly. Ji Yuanchen's tall and handsome figure came into her sight against the light.

He didn't show a bewitching smile like he usually did when facing other people. The one Qiao Yanrou saw was cold and indifferent, and he looked very dull.

When Ji Yuanchen opened the door and saw that it was her, he was not surprised at all and glanced at her almost without leaving any trace.

Qiao Yanrou was wearing new clothes today, which were given to her by Bai Xiaoyan and had just been washed the day before yesterday. It was a simple white T-shirt and a pair of light blue wide-leg jeans. However, the white T-shirt was too tight on her body, outlining her chest too full.

She thought it was not a waste. Except for the top which was a bit too tight, the clothes and pants were quite comfortable.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

Qiao Yanrou handed him the tonic she was holding. "This is the tonic you gave me some time ago. I just happened to have time to make it today. This one is for you."

Ji Yuanchen looked at her slender hands holding the tray, as delicate as white jade. His gaze stayed on her for only a few seconds, and when she looked back, his eyes had already turned elsewhere.

"Yes, thanks."

Qiao Yanrou didn't feel comfortable accepting his thanks. After handing the tonic to him, she smiled sheepishly, "I didn't have time to thank you last time. The tonic... is delicious. Thank you for the tonic."

She made up for the thank you she had missed last time and turned to go back to her room.

"Wait a moment."

Qiao Yanrou turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Ji Yuanchen raised his chin towards her, his posture lazy and casual, and reminded her: "There is a gray mark on the back of your clothes."

Qiao Yanrou subconsciously looked back as he said, but of course she couldn't see anything behind her.

She was so embarrassed that her face turned red: "Thank you for your reminder." After saying that, she walked into the next room with her head down.

Ji Yuanchen looked at her rosy face, which was as sweet as a ripe peach, making him want to take a few bites...

The door remained open for a long time before it was closed.

Qiao Yanrou returned to her room. She remembered that when she put on the T-shirt, there was no dirt on it.

She took off her clothes and turned over to see that there was indeed a gray mark, which was quite large.

How come she didn't see such an obvious gray mark when she put it on?

Qiao Yanrou took the clothes to wash in confusion, but no matter how she scrubbed, the dust stains that had been on them at some point in time couldn't be washed off.

It seemed that this dress could not be worn, and clothes were scarce in the apocalypse. Instead of throwing it away, she put it away.

Recently, Shen Luohan has been particularly clinging to her. As soon as he came back from outside the base, he would immediately go upstairs to accompany her. But as they stayed together... he started to become frivolous.

Qiao Yanrou's waist has been really sore lately. This guy has no self-control...

On this day, since many people with special abilities were out, she helped cut vegetables in the kitchen, listening to the sound of wind and rain coming from the pouring rain outside the window.

There was a loud noise outside the base, getting closer and closer, accompanied by screams and distressed cries.

Sister Lan's face changed, she put down what she was holding and ran outside.

Qiao Yanrou leaned out of the window, but couldn't see anything clearly in the rain. She followed Sister Lan out of the kitchen.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a group of people who were soaked. Among them was a tall and strong man holding a woman horizontally. She was dying with her eyes closed, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

Qiao Yanrou took a closer look and saw that it was Zhang Keqing...

"Quick! Where's the healer? Find the healer!"

There were many people in the crowd crying, and Sister Lan felt pity for them. She quickly asked the psychic to put Zhang Keqing on the sofa.

"The healer went out with Brother Shen and hasn't come back yet." Someone said.

"Are there any other healers in the base? Call those at the beginner level over to stop Keqing's bleeding first." The psychic who had just held Zhang Keqing sounded anxious.

"Here they come, here they come, there are two beginner healers." Sister Lan brought two beginner healers into the crowd and asked them to stop Zhang Keqing's bleeding quickly.

Zhang Keqing lay on the sofa with a deathly pale face, still unconscious.

The two junior healers tried their best to close her wounds, but they could only stop a small part of the bleeding. The wounds in the vital parts were still bleeding, and the wounds were terrifying.

"We tried our best."

The two beginner healers had lost their strength and were only gasping for breath before being helped to a chair to rest.

Zhang Keqing woke up. She shook her head from side to side and shouted something as if she was having a nightmare. Although her voice sounded weak, I could still hear what she said.

"...Brother Chen...don't worry about me...run quickly...Brother Chen..."

She kept calling out to Shen Luohan unconsciously, and many people felt sad for her after hearing this. Sister Lan, who was standing aside, couldn't help crying.

"If Brother Chen hadn't transferred Keqing to another team some time ago, we wouldn't be in this situation now..." A female psychic who went out with Zhang Keqing blamed Qiao Yanrou openly and secretly.

"If Brother Chen was here, that high-level zombie wouldn't be able to hurt Keqing at all. Besides, Brother Chen's team has a healer, so it wouldn't be like now... wuwu..."

Another female psychic also spoke up for Zhang Keqing, openly blaming Qiao Yanrou for being narrow-minded and unreasonable, which caused Brother Chen to avoid her and led to the current situation. After she finished speaking, she burst into tears again.

The others looked at Qiao Yanrou with different expressions, and even Sister Lan didn't dare to speak up for Qiao Yanrou.

The atmosphere was heavy and filled with suffocating awkwardness. Qiao Yanrou did not refute or comfort, but stood quietly by.

The sound of hurried footsteps was heard at the door. Everyone looked over and saw that the one leading the way was Shen Luohan, and walking side by side with him was Ji Yuanchen. It seemed that the two teams came back together.

"How did he get injured like this?" Shen Luohan frowned and asked a high-level healer to treat Zhang Keqing.

"Keqing almost lost her life trying to lure away the high-level zombies."

Several female psychics cried and said that those psychics who didn't like Zhang Keqing before began to feel sorry for her.

Zhang Keqing's wounds healed quickly with the help of the healer, but her internal injuries were quite severe and she still needed some time to recover.
