Chapter 133, Successfully Leaving
The base entered curfew early. Qi Yao, who vaguely heard the shouting, stuck his head out of the car and looked in the direction of the noise with a worried look.
The man leaned against the car, his cigarette ignited by the tips of his fingers. He glanced in the direction of the base's slums—the noise had lasted a long time in that area.
"Captain Pei, Ranran hasn't arrived yet. Could it be..." We agreed to meet in ten minutes, but it's already been almost half an hour. Could something have happened?
Guessing she was the cause of the commotion at the base, and not wanting to add to the girl's worries, Pei Xiao remained composed, "It's okay. That girl is smart, nothing will happen to her." Still feeling uneasy, he instructed the girl, "I'll go check over there. Stay in the car."
"good."
Not far away, a young man in black sportswear avoided the searchers and arrived at the place where the three had agreed.
"Are you Captain Pei?" The man's voice was slightly hoarse, and he sounded mature, which was inconsistent with his age.
Pei Xiao looked at the newcomer warily and nodded: "It's me—who are you?"
"I'm here to pass on a message for a friend." The young man lowered his voice and slipped a piece of paper into his hand. "The person you're waiting for has found another way out. The two of you should leave the city as quickly as possible and meet her at this location."
Pei Xiao looked at the boy and frowned: "She's already gone out?"
The other party obviously didn't believe her words, and the boy shrugged: "Believe it or not, Sister Ran said that if you wait any longer, you may not be able to leave."
After the boy finished speaking, he put on his hood and sneaked away like a thief.
Before leaving, he reminded them: "Time is running out, if you want to leave, hurry up."
…
Unexpectedly, these people dug a road leading to the outside of the base from the ground in the slums. Jiang Ran held a torch and followed Zhou Jian and Yi Xi forward.
The passage was very damp, and the air was wet. The rocks on both sides were covered with mist. Moss grew in some places, and in others you could see gray-yellow soil.
"Qiao Yi said this road was built by people from the previous lab to connect to the underground lab." Yi Xi gave Jiang Ran a brief introduction. "Qiao Yi said that a new lab was being built in the southwest to house discarded experimental subjects. To conceal their whereabouts, they didn't dare walk above ground, so they built a large project underground. Who knew the disaster would strike so suddenly, and we ended up benefiting from it."
I see.
"How does Qiao Yi know all this?" The child looks young, why does he know so much about the situation in the laboratory?
"He was also a test subject in the laboratory before." Yi Xi said, "It's just that he has not been in the laboratory for long, and his supernatural power development is not yet complete."
"He's also from the lab?" Jiang Ran was surprised. "I always thought that people who came out of the lab were all in the base's special ability team."
"No. Qiao Yi said that the situation was very chaotic at the time, and many test subjects took the opportunity to escape from the laboratory. The ones who stayed behind joined the base's special ability team."
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, then changed the question: "Yi Xi, why are you with Qiao Yi and the others? I thought you were in Luo Rui's special power team..."
In the original novel, Yi Xi died before reaching the Xiling base, so there is naturally no description of where she went.
After knowing that she liked Xie Chengzhi, she thought she would insist on staying in Xie Chengzhi's team.
"I'm not stupid." Yi Xi sneered, "Although I like Xie Chengzhi, I'm not someone so foolish as to think only of love. If even you can give up Xie Chengzhi, why should I hang myself on that crooked tree of his?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jian opened her mouth wide and stammered, "Yi Xi, you, you like Xie Chengzhi?!" The girl repeated the question almost screaming, with an unbelievable tone as if the sky had fallen.
"..." Yi Xi's cheeks were slightly hot, and he said coldly, "I used to like him, but now I don't like him anymore."
"Why do you like Xie Chengzhi?" Zhou Jian was puzzled. "It seems like you two don't have much in common, right?"
Zhou Jian asked his own questions, and Jiang Ran pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip.
"I was blind before." Yi Xi rolled his eyes. "That guy saved my life."
Jiang Ran and Zhou Jian said at the same time: "Oh~" It turned out to be a life-saving grace. It turned out that a cold girl like Yi Xi could also fall in love with the so-called "Prince Charming".
"What a shame," Jiang Ran sighed. "Xie Chengzhi is not a prince charming, but a toad in the disguise of a prince."
Zhou Jian muttered, "Didn't you also like him to death before?"
Jiang Ran: "...I was blind before too."
Zhou Jian was still sighing: "Hey, you two are really blind. You can like anyone else but Xie Chengzhi.
Yi Xi said coldly: "That's better than you liking a fool like Jiang Yu."
Zhou Jian: “…”
Feeling like she had just discovered some earth-shattering news, Jiang Ran became even more surprised: "Zhou Jian, you like Jiang Yu?!"
Zhou Jian gave a forced smile: "Everyone goes blind sometimes, what's so strange about that?"
"Oh, so you always targeted me because of Jiang Yu?" Jiang Ran touched his face and muttered, "Oh, I was really shot even when I was lying down."
Zhou Jian curled his lips: "No, no, no, I was stupid before. Please forget the stupid things I did. Thank you."
It seems that after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, this girl has become much more normal.
Jiang Ran clicked his tongue twice.
Zhou Jian's gossiping heart hasn't stopped yet: "Yi Xi, since you liked Xie Chengzhi before, why do you defend Jiang Ranran so much?"
Yi Xi paused for a moment, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened: "Because Jiang Ranran is a fool, I pity her."
Jiang Ran: "...Hey, why are you attacking me personally? Don't you like him too? Why am I the fool?"
"You're a fool." Yi Xi emphasized again, "At that time, I liked Xie Chengzhi and knew I wasn't worthy of him. But in my opinion, it was better for him to be with a fool like you than with a green tea bitch like Luo Rui. Unfortunately, that bastard is blind and incurable."
Her tone was cold, but it was not difficult to hear the hidden bitterness.
After all, this is someone you once loved. Even if you finally tear off the disguise and find that the person is different from what you imagined, the feelings you have given cannot be taken back in an instant.
It will be more or less sad.
Crossing a puddle, Jiang Ran sighed: "It's good not to like him - people should learn to adapt. The forest is so vast, you can always find a tree that suits you - look at me now, isn't it good."
The two girls nodded silently in agreement.
Jiang Ran looked at Zhou Jian who was standing side by side with her: "Zhou Jian, what happened to you before?" If you are not really crazy, why pretend to be crazy?
Recalling that past, Zhou Jian's smile faded slightly, and he said reluctantly: "I killed He Ru and hurt another ordinary person. I violated the team's rules. If I don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, I will probably be executed by the team..."
In fact, she spent the entire night with the corpse trying desperately to think of a way to survive. In the end, the desperate girl had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and stupid in the hope of saving her life.
Just like Jiang Ran said, we finally arrived at Xiling Base, how could we die so easily?
Yi Xi continued, "I was on a mission at the time. When I came back, I heard that she had been thrown out, so I went to the market to find her. Coincidentally, I met Qiao Yi and his group during that mission, so I simply took her directly to Qiao Yi's team."
The girl stopped after she finished speaking.
In front of the three of them was a heavy iron door.
"arrive."
Yi Xi held the cross lock on the door and pushed it upwards with force.
Pushing open the door, she pointed to the dark passage. "Go out from that door and walk about a hundred meters ahead. You'll find the sewer entrance that used to be West Street. After you climb up, remember to put the lid back on."
At this time, remember to remind her to restore the lid to its original state.
Jiang Ran laughed: "I understand."
The girl took two steps and looked back at the two girls who were standing there watching her.
"Yi Xi, Zhou Jian, thank you." She smiled slightly and waved, "I'll treat you to dinner when I come back."
Zhou Jian curled his lips: "Wait until you come back, or you might be eaten by zombies, hehe."
Yi Xi said calmly: "Have a good trip."
