Years after nuclear wastewater discharge, the Earth's ecosystem was severely damaged, natural disasters occurred frequently, and the end of the world arrived!
After Qin Muxue was tragical...
Chapter 74 Commander Lei's White Moonlight
Qu Yanbai looked at the ice stuck in the door and said, "Good boy, your ability has improved again."
"I haven't experienced actual combat yet, so I don't know how it goes, but it's definitely improved a lot compared to before. Even if there's no water around me, I can use water powers. Moreover, the water can be turned into ice, which makes the attack power even stronger." Because she absorbed a lot of mental energy yesterday, she now feels sore all over her back. Her head, which used to feel groggy, is now much clearer and her reactions seem to be more sensitive.
Qu Yanbai stretched out her hand, and during the fight between the two, she was able to completely restrain the opponent. You know, Qu Yanbai used to be a mercenary. If they were just fighting without using superpowers, she might not be his opponent before.
She reminded Qu Yanbai, "Your crystal core is still stored with me. Don't forget when to take it away."
"Don't worry! I won't forget my things." After all, there were quite a few supplies stored in Qin Muxue's space.
"If you forget, I'll keep it all for myself." Qin Muxue grinned.
Now their doomsday team has damage output, healing, melee combat, and long-range control. It seems that it is almost ready. Moreover, after that experience outside, the several people have cooperated very well. Only Wu You is still young and may need some time to train before he can fully control his supernatural powers.
Hu Zimo's plan to get rid of Wu You failed, and this matter was accidentally discovered by Commander Wu, who urgently summoned him.
If there was anyone he was afraid of, the only one was Officer Wu in front of him. He looked like a kind old man, but in fact, no one could be more ruthless than him. He was in a heavy mood, and with his back to Hu Zimo, he whispered, "I heard that Teacher Yang was injured?"
Hu Zimo explained carefully: "That matter has nothing to do with me. How could I possibly hurt your men?"
"If he's injured, then he's injured. You know, that's not what I want to ask. It's about that kid. Do you want to kill him?"
Hu Zimo's brain was working quickly, trying to find a suitable excuse. He knew that even if he successfully killed the child Wu You, Commander Wu would not be willing to kill him. After all, he was the best weapon, and no matter how serious the consequences were, he would only have to accept some punishment. But now that Wu You was not dead, Commander Wu would definitely punish him, and he was very unwilling to do so.
"Commander Wu, he is too rebellious. He will definitely be very difficult to control in the future. Moreover, he actually wanted to attack me. I..."
"No matter how rebellious a mutant is, I can tame him. Aren't you one of my subordinates? Do you think I can't see through your little thoughts? Don't think that just because I praised you before, you can do whatever you want. Everything here must be controlled by me. It is not up to you to decide whether to keep the child or not. You have crossed the line." His voice became deeper and deeper.
Hu Zimo couldn't help trembling. The reason why Commander Wu could become one of the managers here was not only because of his original identity, but also because he had very powerful supernatural powers.
He stared into Hu Zimo's eyes, but Hu Zimo didn't dare to look up. The other's eyes had a kind of captivating power. "Raise your head and look into my eyes."
Hu Zimo could only raise his head tremblingly and look into Commander Wu's eyes, falling into a painful hallucination.
When he was in school, his family was not well off. Even though he managed to go to college, the hundred yuan a month living expenses could not allow him to do much. He could only go out to find a job, moving bricks on a construction site, and was often owed wages by the contractor.
On the other hand, Qu Yanbai's family conditions are not good either, but his grandmother is very generous. He is also luckier than himself. He works in a restaurant, is eloquent, and is very popular with girls.
The thing he feared most in his life was that Qu Yanbai lived a better and happier life than himself, so he destroyed him with his own hands.
In this painful illusion, he was beaten for asking for wages. He was covered with bruises and starving. He felt his pockets and found that he didn't have a single dollar, which meant that he couldn't even afford a pancake.
Qu Yanbai packed up the leftover food from the restaurant. At that time, he and Luo Miaomiao were still good friends. Luo Miaomiao's mind was all on him. She would pick him up from get off work and bring him delicious food. The two of them walked side by side on the street, talking and laughing. Qu Yanbai was like a stray dog that no one wanted. He stayed alone in the corner watching this dazzling scene. He secretly made up his mind that he must live a happier life than Qu Yanbai.
All of this was the memory he recalled after seeing Qu Yanbai again. He became concerned after learning that Qu Yanbai did not die in the natural disaster and even had superpowers.
Hu Zimo's head was splitting. Commander Wu's ability could make people experience that kind of pain again, and it would magnify the pain in their minds several times. "Commander Wu, I know I was wrong. I beg you to let me go!"
Commander Wu twisted his neck and said, "Zimo, remember, everything you want is given to you by me. If you dare to overstep your bounds again, I will take everything back from you. You will live a life worse than that time. I can always find someone to replace you."
Commander Wu pulled out a sinister smile, and Hu Zimo swallowed his saliva, "I will definitely listen to you and never dare to do such a thing again."
"That's right, you are still my good subordinate, you can go now."
Hu Zimo staggered out of Chief Wu's office door, but saw Luo Miaomiao coming. She warned him in a low voice, "Don't do such meaningless things again."
Hu Zimo returned to the room in a miserable state, with more and more resentment in his heart. Why, why could he never get rid of Qu Yanbai? And now his puppet couldn't kill him either, and he had so many teammates around him.
He had nothing around him, and Commander Wu could abandon him at any time. His so-called teammates Luo Miaomiao and Xue Le were all against him and didn't take him seriously at all. He was very angry.
Fortunately, there were a few good-looking women around him with whom he could vent his emotions. He waved his hand and let those women come in.
One of the women, who looked a bit like Luo Miaomiao, was his favorite recently. She was good-tempered, considerate, and had many tricks. "Come and keep me company!" He hugged the woman in his arms, and the two of them became intimate.
He vented his dissatisfaction on her and for a moment he even thought of her as Luo Miaomiao. "You don't like me. You still don't like me even if you become like that." He screamed crazily, and the force of his hands on the woman's neck became stronger and stronger. Then the woman's face turned into that of a queen ant. He was so scared that he retreated in a few seconds, leaving the woman coughing there.
Knowing his brutal character, the women dared not resist him even though they were trembling with fear. After all, with him around, they still had a chance to survive. However, when they thought of the humiliation they had suffered here during this period, the women felt very unwilling in their hearts and could only shed tears secretly.
Hu Zimo rubbed his head. He didn't know why he always felt unwell. He took a few Liuwei Dihuang Pills and swallowed them. He lay on the sofa, gasping for breath.
The woman beside him had already left. Hu Zimo stretched out his hand, but he seemed to see dense hair growing on his hand, and it didn't look like it could grow on humans. Was this another illusion? He might have been under too much mental pressure recently... He must get rid of Qu Yanbai and his friends, so that he could stay in the shelter without any worries. Thinking about it, he slowly closed his tired eyes.
As soon as Teacher Yang left, there were only children left in the school, and no other management staff. Ding Manman took this opportunity to ask Lei Yangzhou, "Can I become a teacher here and take care of the children here temporarily?"
After all, the environment in the school is pretty good, and she has been patient and able to take care of children since she was young. These children are also very smart and sensible.
This was the first time Ding Manman took the initiative to ask him for something, and he finally agreed, "If you can feel happy staying there, then that's fine."
"Thank you, Commander Lei. Oh, I have another request." Wu You had asked her to ask Lei Yangzhou, "There was a little girl sent to the infirmary. Because of her poor health, she was said to be sent to the laboratory for experiments. I have inquired and she is still in the infirmary. After all, she is just a little girl. Can you let her go?"
Looking at the other party's pleading eyes, Lei Yangzhou nodded, "It's just a small matter. This is my ID. When the time comes, you can take it to the infirmary and take her away."
"That's great." She smiled happily, but suddenly saw Lei Yangzhou's straight eyes, and her mind remembered what Qin Muxue reminded her to stay away from Lei Yangzhou, he was not a good man.
Lei Yangzhou suddenly regained consciousness one day. He had been in a car accident and became mentally demented. But suddenly one day, after he saw the marriage arranged for him by his family, he had a dream at night and became clear-headed. The girl in the dream was the girl he saw in the photo during the day. After recovering, the self in the dream evolved superpowers and began to dislike Manman for being a burden. He even drove her out of the house. He regretted it when he thought of himself in the dream. It was not until Manman left that he gradually recovered his memory when he was mentally demented. He remembered Manman's meticulous care for him, but it was too late to regret.
But after he woke up, he thought that things would develop along the original planned path, but he didn't expect to hear that Manman directly refused to get married and dropped out of school, and did not marry into their family as expected. He even couldn't find any clues about her afterwards.
Later, as more and more dreams appeared, he felt more and more that these things had really happened. Except for Manman, everything that happened came true one by one, including Xia Bing's matter.
Xia Bing was his white moonlight before he had the car accident. After learning that he had been in a car accident, she left his side and disappeared. She reappeared after he recovered. Xia Bing had accidentally fallen into the water when she was a child, and she had been frail and sickly. He felt very guilty about her, so he had been taking good care of her. Now Xia Bing is also in the shelter, but she seldom comes out because of her physical discomfort. Everyone else thinks that he and Xia Bing are a couple, but only he knows that his favorite person now is Ding Manman. From the current situation, it seems that Manman has not had a similar dream as him, and she knows nothing about what happened at that time. She is polite to him and keeps a distance, like a complete stranger. This makes him feel sad. He will find a way to catch up with her again and make her his partner. He will also protect her well and not let her suffer any disaster.
"Captain Lei, thank you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Ding Manman saw his strange look and left without waiting for him to speak. Anyway, her goal had been achieved now.
When he saw her, he avoided her as if she were a wolf. This made Lei Yangzhou a little hurt. Commander Lei, who was always quick and decisive, was actually worried about a woman and felt uncomfortable. It was really a joke.
The assistant beside him had been replaced. The assistant whispered a few words in his ear, "Captain Lei, Miss Xia is unwilling to take medicine again, and she hasn't eaten for three days. Do you want to go see her?"
Lei Yangzhou sighed, not knowing what was wrong with this woman. However, thinking of how he had saved himself from drowning when he was a child, he nodded and said, "I'll be there right after I finish dealing with things here."
He shook his head, feeling a little helpless and having complicated feelings towards Xia Bing. After a while, he stood up and walked to Xia Bing's room, hesitating whether to knock on the door.
The door was already open. A pale, pitiful, long-haired woman with white teeth and bright eyes opened the door. When she saw Lei Yangzhou, she threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes. "Yangzhou, why didn't you come to see me? I really missed you."
Lei Yangzhou stepped aside stiffly, "Xia Bing, didn't you take your medicine on time? And why didn't you eat?"
"Why else? You never come to see me, and I'm locked up here alone with nothing to do but read books and listen to music. It's really boring. Yangzhou, my health has improved a lot now, and I can accompany you... If you have any physical needs, I can satisfy you." After saying that, Xia Bing moved closer to Lei Yangzhou's body and slowly put her face close to his lips.
Lei Yangzhou turned his head and said, "Xia Bing, don't be like this." He sighed, "You should eat something first. If you don't eat, how can your body bear it?"
Xia Bing, however, sat on a chair and cried with a hurt look on her face, "You just dislike me. I know you were upset about me leaving you at the time, but you became stupid and my health was not good. I needed to go abroad for treatment. I had no choice but to leave you. I came back without hesitation just to stay by your side. Can't you forgive me?"
"Xia Bing, what nonsense are you talking about? I have never blamed you, and I don't have any demands. You once saved my life, and I will take good care of you for the rest of your life to the best of my ability. Don't worry about the rest." Lei Yangzhou explained calmly.
Xia Bing bit her lower lip and grabbed his sleeve, "But didn't you like me before? Why not now? We can continue our relationship." She begged desperately, looking at the tall man in front of her with sad eyes.
In this world, she must find someone who can take care of her wholeheartedly. If she can't make Lei Yangzhou accept her, she is afraid that he will abandon her one day. Xia Bing's palms are sweaty.
"Xia Bing, the past is the past. You must take good care of yourself and stop wasting your time!" There was a hint of impatience in his tone. "I have many other things to do. The food and medicine are here. I hope you take good care of them, otherwise I will never come to see you again."
Watching the man about to walk out the door, Xia Bing took out a dagger from somewhere and cut her wrist, bleeding profusely. Lei Yangzhou quickly used the gauze in the medical kit to stop the bleeding for her. Looking at the dense scars on her wrist, it can be seen that this is not the first time this has happened, but the amount of bleeding this time is huge and it is very likely to be life-threatening.
He could only take him to the medical room of the shelter and let the doctor treat her wound urgently, but Xia Bing's body was weak, the wound was deep, and she had lost a lot of blood. Now she needed an emergency blood transfusion.
The masked man said, "Captain Lei, although we have all the facilities here, Miss Xia has a rare blood type, I'm afraid..."
Xia Bing's lips were pale, and she said weakly, "Why not just let me die?"
The doctor held his forehead and suddenly remembered something. "The little girl who was sent here before seemed to have the same blood type as her. Because of her weak body, she has not started injecting drugs yet. But her body is very weak. If her blood is drawn..." He didn't say much, Lei Yangzhou also understood what he meant. "It's okay, draw blood and save Xia Bing."
Ding Manman happily told Wu You about this matter when she returned to the academy. "I have inquired about it. The little girl named Youyou has not been sent to the laboratory yet. She is still in the infirmary. I have obtained the consent of Commander Lei and can bring her back soon."
The children surrounded Ding Manman and said, "Sister Manman is so awesome!"
Wu You had always been thinking about the little girl, and he felt relieved when he heard the news. He always remembered the tearful eyes of the child when she left.
"This is just a small matter for Lei Yangzhou, but it is a life for her. I just hold on to what I can."
"Then let's go and pick her up!"
But when the two of them stepped into the infirmary, they saw Youyou crying so hard that her throat was hoarse. A lot of blood had been drawn from the blood bag next to her. When Wu You saw the little girl, he immediately shouted, "Sister Manman, that's her!"
Ding Manman quickly stepped forward to stop them, "She's already so weak, why are you still drawing her blood? What are you doing?"
The medical staff here are more like hard-hearted staff than doctors. "We are just following the orders of Commander Lei."
"Captain Lei? He clearly said that I could take the little girl away. Why is he doing that again now?" Ding Manman was a little annoyed. Sure enough, that man was not a good guy and could not be trusted. Xiaoxue was right. She had thought he was a gentleman and a good man just now.
"I'm sorry, you can't trespass here without permission, please leave immediately!"
Ding Manman took out her ID and said, "This is what Commander Lei gave me. I want to take her away!"
The medical staff hesitated, "This..." Lei Yangzhou just came out, and he went to meet him, "Captain Lei, there is a woman here who won't let us draw blood."
Lei Yangzhou turned his head and saw Ding Manman with a worried look on her face. "You went back on your word. Besides, this child is already weak, why did you draw her blood?"
Youyou was dying in Ding Manman's arms. Manman put her hands on her body and could feel that her internal organs were damaged. If she drew blood again, she would probably die soon.
Lei Yangzhou thought of Xia Bing who was still lying on the hospital bed, "Manman, listen to my explanation. This child, this child's blood can save lives."
"Isn't this child's life a life?" Now Lei Yangzhou's image in Ding Manman's heart has plummeted and he has almost no image left.
Lei Yangzhou was speechless. The medical staff standing by asked, "Do you want to continue?"
"You can't go on like this!" Ding Manman sternly refused. "You promised me before that you could take her away. I want to take her away now."
She still had a way to save her. If she had come a step later, the child would probably have been truly beyond saving.
At this time, a weak female voice came from the compartment, "Yangzhou, Yangzhou, where are you?" Lei Yangzhou had no time to care and wanted to explain, but Ding Manman just took the child and left.
"The blood I just drew is enough to save lives. I'm taking the child away." Before leaving, she glanced in the direction of the cubicle and left resolutely.
Lei Yangzhou could only instruct the doctor to give Xia Bing a blood transfusion. Xia Bing was wearing a white dress that was already stained red with blood. She cried and threw herself into Lei Yangzhou's arms, "Yangzhou, it really hurts. I really thought I was going to die."
Lei Yangzhou was a little absent-minded. He ordered the doctor: "Give her a blood transfusion quickly!"
Thinking about Ding Manman's departing figure, the doctor hung up the blood transfusion bag for Xia Bing and asked, "That child was taken away by that woman. Is there really nothing wrong with him?"
Lei Yangzhou thought for a moment and replied: "Let her go!"
Xia Bing found that Lei Yangzhou's mind was not on her at all, "Yangzhou, what's wrong with you?"
He was obviously a little annoyed now, "Xia Bing, don't joke about your life anymore."
She wanted to leave and let the doctor take good care of her, but Xia Bing stood up and said, "Yangzhou, please, I'm only doing this because I love you too much. My body is so weak, and I'm no longer worthy of you."
"Stop talking about whether we are good enough or not!" This was the first time he got so angry at Xia Bing. "I said, I don't have any romantic feelings for you anymore!"
He was about to go and take care of things, but Xia Bing stopped him, "Ahem, Yangzhou, I know you are busy and can't always be with me. Can you ask your previous assistant to accompany me? I have a pretty good relationship with her..."
Lei Yangzhou thought of the assistant he had replaced. That assistant wanted to seduce him. He originally wanted to transfer her to Chief Wu, but finally arranged other things for her after Xia Bing's persuasion. Now that Xia Bing wants her to take care of her, he might as well transfer that woman to Xia Bing's side to take care of her. He is now too busy to do anything else and has many research projects to deal with. He said lightly, "Okay," and left without looking back.
After he left, Xia Bing couldn't hold back the smile on her face anymore. "It must be because of that woman."
