Chapter 134, Heard the Secret
The spring weather was warm and gentle, and a few zombies were wandering through the dilapidated streets and alleys.
Qi Yao squatted behind the glass of a grocery store, holding a telescope and looking around.
After hearing what the strange boy said, they left Xiling Base overnight.
Xiling Base was under strict inspection last night, but thanks to Pei Xiao's special identity, they were able to leave safely.
However, it’s almost noon now and Ranran hasn’t shown up yet... Could that boy be lying to them?
Qi Yao scratched her hair anxiously, and then she heard a crisp sound coming from the street corner not far away.
It's the sound of metal rubbing against the ground.
Qi Yao quickly set up the telescope and looked over.
The manhole cover at the sewer entrance was slowly removed, and a familiar figure climbed out. As soon as he emerged, he shot and killed several zombies wandering around...
"Ranran!" Qi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, put away the binoculars, pushed open the door and ran out. "Why did you come out of the sewer?"
"Borrow the way of a friend—help me get my bag."
Jiang Ran handed the bag to her, bent down to move the manhole cover back to its original position, and checked it carefully to make sure there was no problem.
"Huh..." She straightened up and stretched her waist, "I'm so tired."
Looking at Qi Yao, he was puzzled. "Why are you alone? Where's Captain Pei?"
Qi Yao pointed to the corner not far away and said, "Captain Pei went over there to refuel the car."
Jiang Ran took back her bag and put it on her back, then looked at Qi Yao: "Are you really okay with your injury?"
Qi Yao patted his chest: "Totally OK."
Jiang Ran nodded: "Don't take pictures, it's flat to begin with."
Qi Yao: “…”
…
The three of them gathered at the gas station. Pei Xiao glanced at Jiang Ran and said, "You seem quite skilled, but why are you still in such a mess?"
This was the first time someone praised her for her skills. Jiang Ran simply ignored the rest of his words and smiled, "It's just okay. Si Xu is still the best teacher."
After knowing that her ability was to neutralize other people's abilities, Si Xu commented on her ability and came to the conclusion of only two words - useless.
After being lectured by Si Xu and Su Qin, she also realized the embarrassing aspects of her special abilities. After listening to Si Xu's comments, she was not angry, but just waited expectantly for him to give a solution.
Since Si Xu pretended to give her an evaluation, he must have found a way to strengthen her ability...
That's what she thought.
As it turned out, Si Xu really had a solution.
"His method is to teach you how to kill people?" Pei Xiao's endless mockery began whenever anything related to Si Xu came up. "A good girl is forcing herself to learn such violent methods from him. Tsk."
"What do you know?" Jiang Ran rolled her eyes at him. "A good girl is dead, and you still say you're gentle and kind?"
Pei Xiao sneered: "You are his woman, why are you worried that he can't protect you?"
"I'm no one's woman." Jiang Ran's face turned cold. "I'm Si Xu's girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I have to depend on him for everything. It doesn't mean I have to rely on him to solve any problems I encounter. He has no obligation to protect me all the time—in this world, no one has the obligation to protect another person—Captain Pei, as the captain of the Dongchao base's superpower team, must understand this principle better than I do."
Everyone is an independent individual and no one has the obligation to protect anyone else.
The female businessman hinted at something, but Pei Xiao did not refute it. He just sipped his lips and opened the car door.
"Get in the car, let's go."
…
The man was driving and Jiang Ran was resting with his eyes closed. Qi Yao glanced between the two of them and gently tugged at Jiang Ran's sleeve.
"Ranran, how did Professor Si teach you? Can you teach me?"
She and Jiang Ran are both ordinary people.
Jiang Ran was taught so well by Si Xu that she also wanted to learn.
However, Captain Pei didn't seem to like Professor Si very much, nor did he like the method Professor Si taught, so she didn't dare ask him in person.
Jiang Ran pinched the girl's face like a gangster: "Qi Yao, I will protect you, that kind of violent method is not suitable for you."
Seeing the girl's actions in the rearview mirror, Pei Xiao's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Qi Yao blushed and whispered, "But I don't want to hold you back."
Jiang Ran smiled: "Then wait until we find Captain Chu, and let Captain Chu teach you - it's not a very difficult training." It's just desperate, crazy, reckless, and trying every possible way to take other people's lives in order to protect yourself.
Si Xu knew the degree of training - speed, strength, distance... He would control everything very well and try his best to avoid really hurting her.
Although she had learned a lot, she was not an old hand after all, and was worried about hurting Qi Yao - so it was better to let Captain Chu take over.
Looking at the two girls whispering to each other, Pei Xiao felt like an unnecessary luminous object.
The man cleared his throat and interrupted their whisper: "Qi Yao, what did you hear last night?"
This girl must have heard some important news, as Zou Yun was trying every possible way to kill her.
Qi Yao shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Actually, I didn't hear it very clearly."
After everyone got off work, she waited for Jiang Ran in the lobby of the experimental base. In order to save electricity, she did not turn on the lights.
She didn't know Zou Yun, but because of Chu Yuan, she knew Guo Zhehao.
At first, I followed him because I simply felt it was strange.
The deputy captain of Chu Yuan's team did not go out on the mission with the team. It was abnormal to think that he came to such a sparsely populated place at this time.
"That person handed a tube of reagent to Deputy Captain Guo and asked him to leave the city as soon as possible and catch up with Chu Yuan."
He said that with this thing, you can take Chu Yuan's life. Not only can you avenge the person you love, but after Chu Yuan's death, you can also take the position of captain of the first brigade - no matter how you look at this deal, you will not lose.
"I was shocked. I don't know how they found me."
Having said this, the girl looked gloomy.
Or was it because she was too weak? If the person who heard the news at that time was Ranran or Su Qin, those people's plans would have been completely ruined.
Sensing the girl's self-blame, Jiang Ran silently held her hand.
"Reagent?" Pei Xiao asked, "Could it be some virus?"
The Shen family has its own laboratory. Maybe the Shen family has developed some new virus to deal with people with special abilities.
"If the reagent was really that powerful, Shen Lang would have used it against Si Xu long ago." Jiang Ran sneered, "The fact that they deliberately lured Chu Yuan out of the base shows that they are not sure either, or they are buying time."
"You mean, the reagent Guo Zhehao got is probably a trial product?" They used Chu Yuan to experiment with their new reagent through Guo Zhehao.
“If that’s really the case…” Pei Xiao murmured: If Si Xu knew about this, Shen Lang would die miserably.
…
Hearing that Pei Xiao had left the base, Shen Yang finally came out of the basement and was able to breathe some fresh air.
"Oh my god, that plague god Pei Xiao is finally gone." The young man slumped down on the sofa, stretching his long arms and legs. "Uncle Zheng, Si Xu and Xiao Bai are out, and Ran Ran is home alone. Why not have her come over for lunch?"
Hearing him mention Jiang Ran, Zheng Li's face changed slightly. He looked away and coughed twice: "The young lady may not be in the base now."
Maybe it's not on base? What does "maybe" mean? And why is it "not on base"?
Shen Yang lay on the sofa, raised his eyelids and looked at Zheng Li, and slowly asked: "Uncle Zheng, are you hiding something from me?"
