Chapter 164, It Won’t Go as You Want
Wei Yage is back, but according to Shen Lang, the woman has injured her spine and may have to rely on a wheelchair to live in the future.
The Sixth Team lost its captain and deputy captain. Shen Lang meant to temporarily hand over the Sixth Team to her and Xie Chengzhi.
Having finally established her own power, she certainly wouldn't object to Shen Lang's decision. However, while the old man handed the Sixth Team over to them, he also clearly expressed his hope that they would achieve results and not let him down.
She knew that this was not a compliment but a threat.
Make achievements... Hehe, if we can find out the other forces under Si Xu and eliminate them, would that be considered an achievement?
"Chengzhi, we've been at the base for so long, and we've finally gotten a force that truly belongs to us." Luo Rui's eyes flashed with a fierce look, "This time, I must seize the power of Team Six."
In today's world, if you don't have your own power, you will always be dependent on others, not to mention realizing your ambitions in the base.
After the sixth team was handed over to them for management, the pressure on Luo Rui increased, which Xie Chengzhi could fully understand.
Although he is not as obsessed with power as his lover, if Luo Rui wants it, he will naturally spare no effort to help her achieve her wish.
"The slums are blocked off. How about we send someone down there to investigate?"
Luo Rui shook her head. "I've already arranged for someone to investigate—those people are very tight-lipped and hostile to people with special abilities, so we can't get anything out of them."
Xie Chengzhi took the binoculars and imitated Luo Rui's gaze towards the entrance and exit of the slum area. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "That girl, looks like Qiao Qiao?"
Qiao Qiao? Luo Rui took the telescope and looked over.
The girl was small and was arguing with the psychic guarding the gate.
Because we were far away, we couldn't hear what the two of them said, but we could tell that the girl wanted to go into the slums.
Luo Rui murmured doubtfully: "Why is Qiao Qiao here?"
Qiao Qiao is Xue Weixin's right-hand man. The team led by Xue Weixin is still ranked first in the base's superpower team standings.
No matter how you look at it, they shouldn't have anything to do with people from the ghetto.
Luo Rui put down the telescope and stood up: "I'll go down and take a look."
"Shall I accompany you?"
"No need." After kissing her boyfriend on the cheek, Luo Rui said, "You stay here and take a rest. You must be tired of cleaning up the zombie corpses these days, right?"
Having said that, he put on his shoes and walked out quickly.
As the door closed, Xie Chengzhi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Alas, ever since the two of them joined Shen Lang's team, it seemed that they had less and less time to spend alone together.
…
Stopped outside the slums by a person with special abilities, Qiao Qiao cursed angrily and could only leave in disappointment.
If Brother Xue hadn't asked her to invite Qiao Yi, she would never have come to such a ghost place. In the end, she didn't see anyone and was still very angry.
Is the base's superpower team just sitting around doing nothing? They're so out of control, with all these zombies and mutants out there, they're just surrounding the slums. It's baffling.
…
After catching up with Qiao Qiao, Luo Rui calmed her breathing, pretended to meet her by chance, and walked up to her and patted the girl on the shoulder.
"Qiao Qiao, why are you here alone?"
"Huh? Luo Rui?" Unlike her previous intimate tone, Qiao Qiao calmly distanced herself from them and replied casually, "I'm looking for someone. What a coincidence! What are you doing here?"
As if not noticing her aloofness, Luo Rui smiled and said, "I was on patrol. I saw you and came over to say hello."
She looked around. "Are you alone? Where are Captain Xue and the others? Are they on a mission?"
"We're off today. The captain and the others are in the apartment." Qiao Qiao didn't want to say more. "I have other things to do. I won't delay your patrol. Bye."
Luo Rui waved: "Bye."
Qiao Qiao looks carefree, but she is actually cautious, otherwise Xue Weixin would not have given her the job of protecting Youzi.
In order not to arouse Qiao Qiao's suspicion, Luo Rui could only say goodbye to her.
After seeing Qiao Qiao off, the girls returned to the entrance and exit of the slum.
The person guarding the roadblock was a psychic from the sixth team. When he saw her, he respectfully called her "Captain" and began to report today's work in a low voice.
After listening to the report, Luo Rui asked, "Just now, a person with special abilities had an argument with you. What happened?"
"She said she wanted to go in to look for someone, saying her relative was inside. I thought it was strange, so I didn't let her in."
Luo Rui nodded: "Next time she comes, let her in."
Without asking why, the psychic replied, "Yes."
…
Just as they reached the bottom of the apartment building, a hand reached out from the corner, grabbed Qiao Qiao's shoulder, and pulled him into the corner.
"You!" A golden light flashed across her fingertips. Qiao Qiao saw the person in front of her and quickly withdrew her hand. "Ms. Jiang?!"
And there is the little girl following her - A117.
"You know me?" Jiang Ran nodded with a smile, "You know her too?" She looked at Shen Youyou.
Knowing that she was Si Xu's person, Qiao Qiao did not hide it: "Yes, I have also been in the laboratory."
"I see." Jiang Ran seemed to be thinking, "You went to the slums to find Qiao Yi?"
I heard that due to concerns about infectious diseases in the slums, the Military Control Building arranged for a special power team to isolate the slums.
After a little thought, Jiang Ran guessed the cause and effect of the whole thing.
She wanted to find an excuse to sneak in, but after thinking it over, she was worried that Luo Rui had arranged secret surveillance, so she hid aside and observed the situation.
Sure enough, not long after Qiao Qiao left, Luo Rui "accidentally" blocked her way, which showed that her guess was correct.
After understanding Luo Rui's plan, Jiang Ran asked Qiao Qiao: "What is your relationship with Qiao Yi?"
Qiao Qiao answered honestly: "He is my brother. We were sold to the laboratory together."
It turns out they are brother and sister. Upon closer inspection, their eyes are indeed very similar.
"Luo Rui blocked off the slums to find Qiao Yi, did you know that?"
She really doesn't know.
Qiao Qiao was stunned at first, then she angrily said, "Why is she looking for Qiao Yi? Qiao Yi will never join her team!"
Like Xue Weixin, Qiao Yi hates the intrigues among the base's management. Even if Luo Rui finds Qiao Yi, it is impossible for the two to reach a cooperation.
"It's not to invite him to join the team, it's to kill him and silence him."
Killing to silence someone? Qiao Qiao was surprised: "How did Qiao Yi offend Luo Rui? Or was this an order from the Shen family?"
"Maybe..." Qiao Yi was dragged down by her. Facing Qiao Yi's sister, Jiang Ran touched the tip of his nose guiltily, "Because Qiao Yi helped me, so..."
Before the girl could finish, Qiao Qiao became even more angry: "That woman is looking for trouble and is trying to punish others for it?!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and said angrily: "I'm going to teach her a lesson!"
"Don't!" Jiang Ran hurriedly grabbed the girl, "If you go and teach her a lesson now, won't everyone be exposed?"
Qiao Qiao was holding back her anger: "But she..."
"Listen to me, if you do this..." Jiang Ran had already thought of a countermeasure, so he leaned close to Qiao Qiao's ear and whispered, "...Just like this, do you understand?"
After hearing her plan, Qiao Qiao opened his eyes wide and hesitated: "What if she didn't fall for it..."
"If you don't fall for it, then we'll talk about it. Anyway, we won't lose anything by giving it a try."
That’s true.
Qiao Qiao clenched his fists: "I know what to do!"
