Chapter 128: Someone Who Can Save Her
They have been away from the base for almost a week. At the current speed, their team will reach Beihe City, where the Beihe base is located, in two days.
When the team was resting at night, Chu Yuan sat on the roof of the car, draping his long legs and smoking absentmindedly.
For some reason, he always felt inexplicably irritable after going out this time.
Especially tonight.
"Is there something wrong with the base?"
The man took a deep puff of his cigarette and threw the almost burnt butt on the ground.
He looked up at the northern sky.
A meteor streaked across the deep blue sky and disappeared into the darkness.
"Oh, look, it's a shooting star!" A girl's unclear voice sounded in my ears.
She hung on him, reeking of alcohol and speaking incoherently, but she insisted on pointing to the northern sky and shouting that she saw a shooting star.
In the brightly lit city center of Fengyang, the sky was illuminated by the lights as if it were daytime. Even the moon was not clear, so how could one possibly see a meteor?
"It really is a shooting star!" She pinched his neck and insisted, "Chu Yuan, hurry up, make a wish on the shooting star, and it will come true."
He patiently dealt with the drunkard: "Since you saw it, make a wish yourself."
"I made a wish myself, I made a wish myself..." She burped, "I don't have any wishes... Chu Yuan, I don't have any wishes, I don't have any wishes anymore, wuwuwu."
She suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears like a child.
People passing by looked at them with strange eyes. He had no choice but to squat down and persuade her in a gentle voice: "Everyone has a wish, Qi Yao, you can also have a wish."
She sniffed, raised her head to look at him, her eyes red like a rabbit: "My wish?"
"Yes, your wish. Think about it carefully. Didn't you just say that you like photography?"
She hiccuped, tears welling up in her eyes: "Photography?"
“Yes, photography.”
She fell silent again, in a daze.
He tried to pull the drunk, lost in thought, up from the ground.
She acted like a spoiled child and refused to get up, so he had no choice but to bend down and pick her up.
Before they even reached the parking lot, she suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Chu Yuan, I'm telling you in secret, I like photography. Please don't tell anyone else."
He replied: "Well, don't tell anyone."
She whispered even more quietly: "I want to be a photographer."
You've said it twice, little sister.
Worried about making her cry again, Chu Yuan followed her lead and said, "Freeze happiness in a moment?"
"Yes, take my camera and travel all over the world..." She said, then suddenly felt disappointed, "Oh, I don't have a camera yet."
He laughed: "Your Qi family is so poor that you can't even afford a camera?"
She seemed to be hit by his words. She was stunned for a long time and began to whimper softly: "No one bought me a camera, wuwu, my family is so poor that we can't even afford a camera, wuwu..."
After making the other person cry again, Chu Yuan sighed: "I'll buy it for you, I'll buy it for you. Next time we meet, I'll give you a camera. Pick your favorite model."
"Really?" Her expression changed instantly, tears streaming down her face. She smiled and pinched his face, "Chu Yuan, keep your word. I'll treat you to barbecue."
“…”
"It's agreed that I'll treat you to barbecue." She smiled foolishly, "Let's have barbecue together..."
Later, she fell asleep in the car, still sobbing softly in her dream, looking pitiful and helpless.
Later, he gave her a camera as a gift. Although she was surprised, she did not show that she liked it very much.
He had never seen her use that camera once.
Later, he suddenly realized that the girl who was drunk and yelled for the camera that night was Qi Yao, and the girl who received his camera and never used it once was Qi Yuan, who replaced Qi Yao's identity and became his fiancée.
It's really fate.
Somewhat irritably, the man took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and lit it, as if this could relieve his current depression.
…
In the brightly lit corridor, Jiang Ran squatted on the ground, his clothes and hands covered in blood, which he had not cleaned.
She squatted against the wall, motionless.
Su Qin squatted beside her, hesitated, and patted her shoulder gently: "Ranran, it's not your fault."
"It's my fault." Without looking up, Jiang Ran said in a muffled voice, "If I had gone there earlier, Qi Yao wouldn't be like this now."
When she found her, she was bleeding all over the floor, but she was still breathing weakly.
Her screams attracted Gu Yunqing, who was leading a patrol team passing by, and the people from the special ability team helped send the person to the first aid room.
Chen Yao called a doctor, and now the two are still in the emergency room and have not come out.
But after the disaster, the medical facilities were not as good as before the apocalypse, and she didn't know if they could save Qi Yao.
If you can’t…
"Qi Yao's wound..." Su Qin whispered, recalling the wound on the girl's chest, "It was caused by the ice blade of a water-type mutant."
Water-based psychics can condense the generated water into various shapes, and high-level psychics can also enhance the strength of ice to form offensive weapons.
"The person who hurt Qi Yao is a water-type psychic, and his psychic level is at least level three."
Jiang Ran slowly raised his head and asked, "Do you have any information about any psychics in the base who meet this requirement?"
"Yes." Su Qin said, "Water-based abilities are not very offensive. Many water-based abilities are trained as logistics personnel, so they don't level up quickly. There are not many water-based abilities above level three in the base."
"I see." Jiang Ran murmured, "She also has a very faint fragrance on her body, like the scent of flowers, but it's not the smell in our experimental base. I guess it might be the smell of some perfume."
After a pause, Jiang Ran said, "Qi Yao doesn't wear perfume. That scent can only belong to the murderer."
"With these two clues, it's only a matter of time before we find the murderer."
"Right now, finding the murderer may not be the most important thing."
"What?"
"Qi Yao is just an ordinary person. Why would someone with superpowers attack him for no reason?" Jiang Ran closed his eyes and recalled the place where Qi Yao was injured. "That place is a corner, suitable for eavesdropping."
"You mean, Qi Yao might have heard some secrets, so she was killed to silence her?"
Jiang Ran's mind was a little confused now. She felt like she had grasped some very important clues, but she couldn't sort out her thoughts for a while.
"Captain Qin." She simply changed the subject. "Who did Captain Gu go to see?"
When this question was brought up, Su Qin lowered her voice even more: "Go find someone who can save Qi Yao. I hope they can come back safely."
…
The Yancheng base is not among the four major bases and is a medium-sized base. Its material reserves and rules and regulations are far less complete than those of the Xiling base, and more people still abide by the rule of the jungle.
On a moonlit night with few stars, the wind blew past and the lighthouse stood silently in the night. Its imitation European architectural style made it stand out from other Chinese buildings.
On the observation tower of the lighthouse, a young man stood facing the wind, his tall and slender body completely bathed in the night.
The golden eyes looked down at the Yancheng base, which was as silent as a grave after nightfall, and the sight slowly moved outward from the residential area.
The moonlight covered the city with silver frost.
His gaze was even colder than the moonlight, and contained an obvious, undisguised mocking smile.
"Sure enough, here it comes."
In the cool night breeze, low and joyful voices were scattered in the moonlight.
