Chapter 156, I want to check
What else is there in the laboratory that is worthy of outsiders' covetousness and is worth making such a big fuss about?
Gu Yunqing thought about it, but could not think of anyone else except Si Xu.
"It's for the information."
The information they brought back from Jiangning, all the records about viruses and vaccines left by Jiang Yize.
Jiang Ran looked at Si Xu and asked tentatively: "What do you think, Si Xu?"
Si Xu had the same idea as her.
"Information..." Although he wasn't sure what exactly she meant—the lab had so much information—Gu Yunqing understood instantly, "Ranran means that the man's target is the lab?"
Si Xu agreed, his eyes becoming even colder: "I guess so."
The man who sent the explosives over must have some knowledge of the recent situation at the base and the situation in the laboratory.
If the goal was to get rid of him, simple explosives wouldn't do the trick.
But the man did it anyway.
Why?
"If that guy's target is the lab... that doesn't make sense." Gu Yunqing felt his brain wasn't enough. "Isn't our lab used to research viruses and test vaccines? In this world, who wouldn't want a vaccine sooner? That guy wants to blow up the lab? Is he crazy?"
The man scratched his hair irritably: "Even if you are a member of the Shen family, you still have this sense of the overall situation."
Shen Lang and Si Xu have been fighting for so long, but have never interfered with the work in the laboratory.
Jiang Ran had a guess in his mind.
However, she did not intend to mention the uncertain speculation in front of Gu Yunqing.
She hooked her fingers with Si Xu's, drew circles on his palm with her fingertips, and looked around boredly.
Si Xu held her restless fingers tightly and changed the position of interlocking their fingers to prevent her from continuing to tease his palm.
"Find the clearest photo from the surveillance footage, print it out and post it." Si Xu said, "Even if we don't know who that person is or where he's hiding, it wouldn't be a bad idea to put some pressure on him."
Gu Yunqing agreed: "I see - will the number of patrol officers also be doubled?"
"Okay." Si Xu nodded. "Teams that have recently gone out on missions will also need to be inspected more closely—since they've come in, they can't just be let out without warning."
Gu Yunqing sneered: "That's natural."
Attacking the laboratory is a provocation to the entire Xiling base. If that person is still in the base, he will be stripped naked and hung on the city wall after being found, and everyone will drown him with a mouthful of spit.
…
Because the laboratory was attacked, the curfew was moved forward. Before eight o'clock, the usually bustling base had become quiet. Only the orderly footsteps of the patrol team echoed in the empty outdoors.
There is a crescent moon tonight, a thin and narrow golden crescent hangs on the sky, and a few stars are sparsely scattered in the deep blue sky.
Seeing Si Xu, the patrolling supernatural team stopped to greet him.
Si Xu nodded and took Jiang Ran back to the apartment.
The two of them walked slowly, as if taking a stroll, and looked very leisurely.
The thought that had been lingering in Jiang Ran's mind did not disappear. She tilted her head and looked at Si Xu. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Si Xu, what do you think the people who attacked the laboratory this time were thinking?"
Just like Gu Yunqing said, the laboratory is researching virus vaccines, and the various bases have always been communicating and learning from each other. Who would come to attack the laboratory?
"Perhaps it's revenge on me?" Si Xu jokingly replied, then said seriously, "Strike back at competitors. This is a universal principle no matter when or where."
"But now we are a united front, all for the fight against the virus..."
“A common enemy will make competitors more clearly defined.”
"..." Jiang Ran seemed to be lost in thought. "The people who attacked the laboratory are probably also researching vaccines?"
"There is another possibility." Si Xu glanced at her, waiting for her to give an answer.
"..." Jiang Ran thought for a moment, "The person who attacked the laboratory didn't want us to develop a vaccine at all."
Well, with a little guidance, the little girl will be able to figure it out.
"If that's the reason, the first thing that comes to my mind is..."
"Qin Huai." Si Xu said the name for her.
Jiang Ran nodded slightly.
Qin Huai's psychic ability can control zombies. Even if everyone in the world turns into zombies, it will not have any effect on him.
"Last time when I was chasing Qin Huai, I saw a device that could contain superpowers in Yancheng's underground base."
"Huh?" I've never heard him talk about this before, and I have a feeling he's hiding something. Jiang Ran stared at him, "Did Qin Huai show it to you? Would that guy be so kind?"
“…”
Jiang Ran asked again: "Did he use this device on you?"
"...He originally wanted to trap me with zombies, but I killed them all." He finished, not giving her a chance to ask more questions. "I don't think that device is something Qin Huai can research—there are other forces behind Qin Huai."
Jiang Ran didn't hear what he said next: "He wanted to trap you with zombies, and you killed those zombies while your superpowers were suppressed?"
I should have known not to mention this. Si Xu pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
"Are you hurt?" Jiang Ran remembered something and suddenly realized, "No wonder you haven't kissed me these days..." It turned out that he was unable to move after the injury.
Si Xu: "I'm not injured."
Besides, what does having a kiss have to do with his injury?!
"Really?" Jiang Ran didn't believe it. "Go back and take off your clothes. I want to check."
This man never took his body seriously. She was afraid that if he got hurt, he would not take it seriously and just handle the matter casually.
Si Xu: "Oh." He asked her seriously, "How do you want to check?" You are not a professional medical staff, you can't tell if I have any internal injuries.
Hearing him ask this, Jiang Ran's face flushed: "Si Xu, you hooligan!"
Si Xu, who thought he was asking a serious question, looked bewildered. "Rogue? Didn't you say you wanted to check?"
"I said so..."
"Then why did you call me a hooligan?" He lowered his eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be filled with mist, and he said aggrievedly, "Jiang Ran, you are unreasonable."
Jiang Ran: “…”
Unable to bear his puppy-like aggrieved look, Jiang Ran quickly surrendered: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"snort."
Tightening their interlocked fingers, a girl, overwhelmed by the beauty, quickened her pace: "Go home, go home. We agreed to get checked, now! Immediately!"
…
Because of the zombie siege, Chen Yao had been busy in the emergency room for the past few days. She finally had some free time, but then she encountered an explosion...
After the examination, she dragged her heavy feet back to the apartment.
Without turning on the lights, he threw his tired body onto the sofa and lay there motionless.
Perhaps she was too tired, she fell asleep in a daze after lying on the sofa for a while.
In my hazy consciousness, I seemed to hear footsteps coming and going in my ears.
Huh? Someone's in the living room? How could that be? Her balcony has security windows, and she only has the key to the front door... How could someone get in?
But……
The footsteps continued, wandering casually in the bedroom, study and living room.
Shen Yao tried hard to open her eyes, but failed.
Was she dreaming? She must be dreaming. Yes, it was what the older generation often called sleep paralysis. In fact, it was because she was too tired recently and had hallucinations.
It must be like this.
"Uh." The footsteps stopped at the door of her room. A gentle male voice came to her ears, exclaiming in surprise, "A girl's room can be so messy, tsk tsk."
