Chapter 131: I owe you a favor
Seeing the lively Qi Yao, Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment and then looked at Gu Yunqing.
"Can I go in and say hello to that person?" This was asking for Gu Yunqing's opinion.
The two men came in fully armed because they didn't want their identities to be known to outsiders. If they didn't want to, she wouldn't force them to go in.
Knowing Xue Weixin's character well, Gu Yunqing was embarrassed: "This..." He knew that Jiang Ran was not an outsider, but as for Lin You's identity, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Si Xu's original order was not to disturb them at all. He called them both here tonight because of an emergency and had no choice but to do so.
Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Ran didn't force him: "If it's inconvenient, forget it." She looked at Pei Xiao, "Captain Pei, shall we leave now?"
"Don't you need to pack?" Pei Xiao asked, "From here to Beihe Base, even if we travel simply, it will take at least ten days."
"Uh." Every second now wasted time, but if I didn't bring anything with me, it would be even more inconvenient to move around outside. "Give me ten minutes."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the parking lot next to Gu Yunqing's apartment." He could drive directly to the downstairs of her apartment, but that would definitely attract the attention of the patrol officers.
"Well, I'm going to go back and pack some clothes."
"Ranran, I'll go with you." Qi Yao rushed to Jiang Ran, pleading in her eyes, "I'm fine now. Can you take me with you?"
"..." Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment and said to Gu Yunqing, "I'll take Qi Yao with me. Captain Gu, if you want to announce it to the public, just say that the people who were attacked last night were not rescued."
To prevent those people from causing trouble for Qi Yao.
Gu Yunqing was still worried.
"How about I take you out? That guy Pei Xiao..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Xiao put his arm around his neck and smiled faintly: "Captain Gu, you have a problem with me, don't you?"
"Ahem." Gu Yunqing coughed twice in fear at the man's cold tone and laughed dryly, "How dare I?"
Not bothering to pay attention to the two childish men, Jiang Ran and Qi Yao went back to pack their things and agreed to meet at the parking lot.
…
In the office, the old man frowned and every hair of his beard was stretched tight to show his anger.
The girl stood by the window, opened the blinds and looked out, and whispered, "Shen Shuai, are you sure that woman can't be saved?"
Otherwise, even if they dealt with Chu Yuan, when Si Xu came back, he could still kill them all to avenge Chu Yuan.
No evidence could be left, and that woman knew too much.
"I don't know." Shen Lang got angry when he mentioned this. "When I rushed over, Zou Yun was already dead."
"Alas." Zou Yun died just like that. Luo Rui felt regretful. "What a pity for Vice Captain Zou. If Captain Wei knew this news, he would definitely be very sad."
"I underestimated Ranran." Shen Lang sighed with a pained expression. "Her mother was gentle and kind, and her father dedicated his life to the Xiling Laboratory. Who could have known that their daughter, after only a short time with Si Xu, would become as cruel and ruthless as him? Sigh."
The old man said some polite words, and Luo Rui whispered to comfort him, "As the saying goes, bad company breeds bad influence. Ranran is just influenced by Professor Si. Once our plan succeeds and Ranran lives an ordinary life, he will definitely return to his former self."
Shen Lang sighed heavily, as if he felt heartbroken for his granddaughter who had gone astray.
After the old man finished lamenting, Luo Rui said, "Master Chen, just in case, I think we should find someone to keep an eye on them - if that woman is really not dead, no matter what method we use, we must get rid of her."
"I know."
"Also, over there, Ranran..."
"I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on her," Shen Lang said coldly, "I won't let her leave the base."
…
Jiang Ran packed up her things and headed towards the parking lot. As she passed the market, she heard faint voices of conversation.
"I see a lot of members of the Ability Team taking action. Could it be that zombies have invaded the base?"
"No, it seems like he's looking for someone... It has nothing to do with us, so don't meddle in other people's business and get yourself into trouble..."
As expected, Shen Lang started to take action. Jiang Ran lowered his hat and was about to go around the market when he heard the sound of orderly footsteps approaching this side and someone shouting.
"High-level zombies have infiltrated the base. Today's curfew is advanced. Everyone, return to your respective residences. No wandering around at will is allowed!"
As the shouting sounded, there was a commotion among the people coming and going.
Jiang Ran, carrying his bag, prepared to follow the crowd and find a place to avoid the search of those people with special abilities.
High-level zombies? Haha, that's a pretty good excuse.
"Hey, that girl with the backpack over there!" Someone called out from not far behind him, "Stop!"
Not caring whether the man was talking about her or not, Jiang Ran ran away.
"Stop! Don't run!" the man's voice became excited.
Jiang Ran was certain that the person he was warning was indeed himself.
…
The girl was running around in the chaotic crowd and various obstacles, and the psychics were shouting and chasing her while reporting the situation to Luo Rui.
Upon receiving the news, Luo Rui rushed from Si Xu's apartment building to the living area: "Don't hurt her, capture her alive."
"yes!"
…
Jiang Ran was a little tired from running and was about to throw her bag to distract the people when a hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed her arm, and pulled her behind a trash can.
"Shh!" The man covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Be quiet and follow me."
It was a girl's voice, and it sounded familiar.
Without waiting for Jiang Ran to answer, the man pulled Jiang Ran's arm and motioned her to bend down and follow.
It was unknown how many times the man took her around, but the two of them walked further and further away, gradually leaving the noise behind.
The further they went, the darker the light became. Without the streetlights, Jiang Ran looked at the slender figure in front of him in the moonlight and hesitantly called out her name: "Zhou Jian?"
After the girl cut her hair short, she became much more agile than before, and her temperament was completely different.
The girl stiffened slightly, and without turning her head, she hummed: "Don't think too much, I'm just repaying a favor I owe you."
Owe her a favor? Oh, that time at the market when she gave her several steamed buns?
Just as she thought, she really wasn't crazy.
As Jiang Ran was thinking this, she stepped into the mud. She hurried to move to the side and accidentally bumped into the debris piled on the roadside, making a loud noise.
"Be careful." Zhou Jian reminded her, "This is a slum area, the road is not easy to walk on."
slums.
Jiang Ran heard Chen Yao mention that the west side of Xiling Base was a slum, where the base stored useless people.
The environment is dirty, the population is complex, and there may be various infectious diseases... It is managed by the base management office, and normal people in the base usually automatically avoid this place.
In the dilapidated wooden houses, people were startled by their footsteps from time to time. They would look at the two girls and then look back dejectedly.
Zhou Jian brought Jiang Ran to a small room and knocked on the door three times: "Brother Yi, I'm back."
Big Brother? Jiang Ran remained calm.
The door of the wooden house was quickly opened.
Unlike the other low and dirty wooden houses, this house was larger, with a bead curtain hanging at the door, and the inside was tidy, with even a dark carpet on the floor.
"Hey, Xiao Jianjian, you're back?" A handsome boy came out staggering with a bottle of wine in his hand. Seeing Jiang Ran behind Zhou Jian, his eyes widened instantly, "Holy shit! Is this woman your gift to Big Brother? She's so damn beautiful!"
"Yu Jiu, shut up! Don't call me Little Jianjian!" Zhou Jian was furious. "Where's Brother Yi?"
"Inside." The boy leaned over and sniffed gently when he passed by Jiang Ran. "Hmm, the scent of shower gel. This lady must have come from those high-end residences. It smells really good..."
Jiang Ran glanced at him expressionlessly and followed Zhou Jian inside.
She remembered Chen Yao's advice: the slums are full of good and bad people, and you can't take it lightly.
