Chapter 174, The Beginning of Revenge
On the way back, Shen Yang found an excuse to separate from Shen Lang, humming a tuneless little tune and staggering towards the dungeon.
Following behind him, Zhong Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Captain, it's very late today, do you want to..." come back tomorrow?
"Is it late?" Shen Yang chuckled after glancing at his watch. "It's not late until three o'clock."
It's already three in the morning, isn't it too late? Zhong Qian wanted to cry but couldn't: "Captain, what are you going to do in the dungeon now?"
"Nothing." He couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "I'm going to survey the terrain."
Surveying the terrain? Zhong Qian said solemnly, "Captain, you're not planning a prison break, are you?"
If he really wanted to protect Luo Rui, he could do something like jailbreaking.
"Are you kidding?" Shen Yang suppressed his smile, his expression a little cold. "Who am I robbing from prison?"
“…” If this isn’t a prison break, then why are you surveying the terrain?
"Hmph." Shen Yang quickly smiled again and murmured, "I received a good thing a few days ago. As luck would have it, our beautiful Miss Luo is in the dungeon. I'll try it out with her these two days..."
Hearing the man's mumbling, almost like talking to himself, mixed with inexplicable excitement, Zhong Qian, who was following behind him, shuddered for no reason.
…
Wei Yage's funeral was held the next day.
Because viruses are rampant in the apocalypse, most funerals are cremations - burning to ashes will prevent any mutations.
The once glorious captain of the Sixth Team was reduced to ashes in a fire, taking nothing with him and leaving nothing behind.
As comrades-in-arms, Gu Yunqing and Su Qin both appeared at the funeral.
When Wei Yage was alive, Su Qin and she disliked each other. Now that she is dead, Su Qin feels a little sad.
"I didn't expect it to end like this..."
Hearing his lover's murmurs, Gu Yunqing took her hand and whispered, "She made the wrong choice and must bear the consequences of her mistakes."
Su Qin nodded: "Yeah."
"Think about Chu Yuan and Qi Yao, who were all tricked by her, as well as Seventh Brother and Ranran—Aqin. Even if Wei Ya Ge wasn't dead, she wouldn't have stood with us." He smiled bitterly, "As long as we choose to become enemies, we will one day face a life-and-death situation."
Now, perhaps we should thank Jiang Ran for his prompt decision, otherwise we would not know who would be burned to ashes in the future.
Su Qin nodded again. She caught a glimpse of a boy standing behind the crowd and frowned, "Xie Chengzhi is here too?"
Gu Yunqing followed her gaze.
The boy was dressed in black, standing outside the crowd, looking around as if he was looking for something.
When he met Gu Yunqing's gaze, he was stunned and subconsciously looked away, but seemed to remember something and looked at Gu Yunqing again.
After the funeral, Xie Chengzhi stopped Gu Yunqing at the entrance of the cemetery.
In order not to occupy the living space of the base, the cemetery was built on Xiling Mountain behind the base. The temperature on Xiling Mountain is lower, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Even in spring, there are still cold winds.
Gu Yunqing wrapped his coat tightly around him and said vaguely, "Captain Xie, what's the matter?"
"Have you seen Jiang Ranran?"
When he returned to the crime scene last night, Jiang Ranran had already left.
He didn't get the answer he wanted and spent the night sleepless.
The words Yi Xi said were like thorns in his heart. As long as he didn't get an answer, it would hurt his heart from time to time, reminding him that Jiang Ranran might have died in that escape.
The girl he once liked died in the icy lake.
But if Jiang Ranran is really dead, then who is the person who is living as Jiang Ranran now?
Who is that girl who has nothing in common with Jiang Ranran except her appearance?
She occupies Jiang Ranran's identity, what does she want to do?
Revenge for the dead Jiang Ranran?
He would break out in a cold sweat whenever he thought of this possibility.
Hearing him ask about Jiang Ran, Gu Yunqing frowned: "Sister Ranran didn't come to the funeral—she and Wei Ya Ge are not on good terms, you should have heard about it a long time ago."
"I know, I know." Xie Chengzhi swallowed his saliva, "Do you know where she is now?"
"Ranran?" Gu Yunqing thought for a moment, "Today is not a day off, she should be at work - if you want to look for her, go to the crop experimental base."
Xie Chengzhi's eyes lit up: "Thank you." He turned and was about to leave.
"Xie Chengzhi." After calling the boy's name, Gu Yunqing reminded him kindly before he turned around, "I heard Luo Rui was in the dungeon. If you really care about her, you'd better go to the dungeon to see her more often."
His girlfriend was imprisoned in a dungeon and his life or death was unknown, but this guy still had the mood to look for his ex-girlfriend? Haha, what a complete scumbag.
Xie Chengzhi did not stop and left quickly.
Su Qin, who was waiting nearby, vaguely overheard their conversation. The girl showed a look of disdain and glared at Gu Yunqing unhappily, "Why tell him where Ranran is? That guy might want to come back to you—hmm, what a shameless bastard."
Gu Yunqing smiled: "I heard from Brother Seven that the wild lilies on the south side of Xiling Mountain are blooming, and he wants to take sister Ranran on an outing today."
So, Jiang Ran didn't go to the crop experimental base at all?
Su Qin suddenly realized: "Ah...you are really..."
The two walked down the mountain slowly, holding hands.
"Hey, why didn't Shen Yao come today?"
Speaking of her friends, Su Qin also showed a worried look.
"Yaoyao hasn't been feeling well recently. She goes home as soon as she gets off work every day, and I haven't seen her go to the cafeteria to eat..." Shen Yao can't cook, and she is worried that the girl will starve herself to death at home. "How about taking some time to go see her later?"
"Are you alone?" Gu Yunqing mocked her. "If you go alone, you might as well wait for Ranran to come back and take her with you."
At least Ranran is good at both housework and cooking, and she is better than Suqin at taking care of patients.
Moreover, if Chen Yao really feels unwell, two girls can always take care of her.
…
Even during the day, not a single ray of light could penetrate the dungeon. The damp ground was covered with grass, and from time to time there was the sound of mice running around.
Luo Rui huddled in the corner with her knees hugged, silently calculating what time it was.
It was impossible to tell from which direction the screams came from.
I don’t know if it was because she was hoarse from shouting or her throat was injured, but the screams could no longer be distinguished between men and women. Each scream was like a death warrant, destroying the girl’s psychological defenses bit by bit.
"Don't worry, Chengzhi will definitely come to save me, he will." The girl murmured, burying her cheek in her knees and gritting her teeth to endure.
Footsteps were heard in the corridor, stopping in front of her cell door.
The girl looked up in surprise.
The young man looked at her expressionlessly and ordered the people behind him: "Bring the person over."
"yes."
Luo Rui was alert: "What are you going to do? Zhong Qian, who asked you to take me out? Was it Shen Shuai? Or Captain Shen?"
"Miss Luo." The deputy captain of the second team remained polite. "Please don't struggle, or I will kill you on the spot."
There was no explanation as to who had taken her out.
Feeling threatened and certain that this man would keep his word, Luo Rui didn't dare to struggle and allowed the two men to lock her hands.
I followed Zhong Qian outside. I didn't know how long I had walked. As the smell of blood hit my nose, my vision suddenly opened up.
The hall was brightly lit, and the pale light was a bit dazzling. Luo Rui subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes.
After getting used to the bright light, the girl removed her hands from her eyes and glanced at the surrounding environment.
She suddenly froze in place, her face pale, her pupils trembling constantly, her mouth slightly open, as if someone was choking her throat. After struggling for a while, she let out a terrified scream.
