Chapter 215, Understanding Each Other
She was imprisoned by Qin Huai and forced to leave the laboratory. The last thing she saw was the old man's desperate pursuit and Zheng Li's worried face.
There was a small car parked at the back door of the laboratory. The man pulled her into the car and drove straight into the darkness.
Unable to see the view outside the window, she closed her eyes.
Grandpa chose to give up on her.
Between killing Qin Huai and protecting her, Grandpa chose to give up her.
In my grandfather’s eyes, an older brother is someone who can accomplish great things. People who accomplish great things are not particular about trivial matters and can give up on relatives and friends - my grandfather is such a person.
He gave up his children, gave up Ranran, whom he had finally found, gave up Youyou, and now he has given up on her.
But what did he get?
Alone, full of resentment, and helpless.
"Ha, ha ha." The girl let out a string of laughter, full of self-mockery, sadness, and a strange sense of relief, "That's great..."
The body corroded by drugs was on the verge of collapse, but Qin Huai did not show it on his face, but he gripped the steering wheel even harder.
Behind him, the old man failed to catch up.
The howling of zombies and mutant beasts, as well as various orders from the psychics, could be heard from the east.
He knew that according to the plan, he could leave here safely.
"What are you laughing at?" The man suppressed his physical discomfort and asked the girl, "Aren't you sad about being abandoned by your family?"
Shen Yao raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes and chuckled: "I'm very happy."
"happy?"
"Fortunately, my eldest brother is different from grandpa."
My grandfather lived a crazy and heartless life, and ended up with such a miserable ending.
Fortunately, Shen Yang is not like Shen Lang - at least, between dealing with the enemy and protecting his loved ones, he chose the latter.
After walking in the dark for an unknown amount of time, Qin Huai stopped the car and motioned for her to get out.
The moment she stepped out of the car, she felt the cold air surrounding her.
He tightened his grip on her shoulders and whispered, "Keep going."
They are walking towards the Xiling Snow Mountain.
Shen Yao looked back and saw that the laboratory had not exploded, but she could faintly hear a commotion inside, presumably someone was trying to resolve the trouble on the east wall.
Qin Huai didn't give her a chance to stop and pulled her to continue moving forward into the snow-capped mountains.
"perhaps……"
The man took a breath, and the icy cold air from the Xiling Snow Mountain rushed into his lungs, making his gradually blurry mind much clearer.
"Perhaps, it's a good thing for you, but Shen Yao...your grandfather is right. Those who are too kind to their enemies often die miserably."
He was responding to what she had just said.
With a bad feeling in her heart, Shen Yao subconsciously asked: "What?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud bang was heard from the direction of the base's laboratory building, and flames lit up half the sky red.
Shen Yao suddenly stopped and turned to look at the place where the explosion occurred.
She stood there blankly, subconsciously wanting to run back, but was held tightly by Qin Huai.
"I'm not lying. I did plant a bomb in the lab building." Qin Huai pressed the struggling woman into the snow. His voice was as cold as the snow on Xiling Mountain. "However, I can tell you a piece of good news—the people I took away are not in the lab."
He made up those words to deceive Shen Yang.
Just as Shen Yang understood him, he also understood Shen Yang, and he understood even more how well Shen Yang understood him.
This strange tacit understanding made him sure that Shen Yang would not doubt his words.
This was a gamble he made to ensure his safe departure from Xiling Base.
As it turned out, he won the bet.
"Not here?" Upon hearing this news, Shen Yao felt calm.
Su Qin and the others were not in the laboratory building. If it were the eldest brother, with Youyou there, he would definitely be able to leave the laboratory building safely.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course, to thank Shen Yang for hosting me, I also installed another thing on the top floor of the laboratory building. I think it should be working now."
The man's faint sigh drifted into her ears, and Shen Yao's body trembled slightly, muttering: "What did you do?"
…
Shen Yang knew Qin Huai, and he knew how honest Qin Huai was when it came to torturing people—even if there were deviations in what he said, they would only be more, not less—and he couldn't be so lucky as to think that the man would be kind.
He was still on the stairs to the top floor when the explosion occurred.
Flames and debris fell towards him, and the man nimbly climbed over the railing to avoid the falling objects.
The bomb was not as powerful as Qin Huai said, and failed to raze the laboratory building to the ground.
Shen Youyou broke through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window and rushed in front of him. The moment the second explosion sounded, she roughly picked him up and jumped out of the building.
"Put me down!" Being carried on the shoulders of the little girl, Shen Yang wanted to curse, "Didn't I tell you to go upstairs?!"
She is here, but where are the people upstairs?
"I'll save you first." The little girl rarely said much. After landing, she threw him to the ground and said, "I'll go save others."
She jumped up, and her small figure disappeared in the firelight in an instant.
…
After receiving the news from Shen Yang, Shen Bai waved his hand lightly, and Zhong Qian led his men to quickly pry open the wall in front of them. There was a dark passage inside that extended deep into the darkness.
No people, no mutant beasts, nothing.
This dungeon is different from the dungeon used in the current base. It was built before the end of the world and was used to imprison experimental subjects who made mistakes.
After the disaster, this place had long been abandoned, and no one knew that there was another world deep in the dungeon.
No one knew how Qin Huai knew the secret of this cell and imprisoned Gu Yunqing and his group here.
If it weren't for the news that Qiao Yi had spread, they would never have found this place even if they searched the entire base.
However, unlike what Shen Yang expected, Qin Huai did not take any precautions here.
Is he really here? For the first time, Zhong Qian doubted his captain's judgment.
"Deputy Captain, here!" The pathfinder in front gave a signal.
At the same time, the young man's impatient voice rang out from the dungeon: "What's wrong with you? Why are you here just now? Didn't I spread the news a long time ago?"
Zhong Qian quickly made a silent gesture: "Shut up."
Qiao Yi scoffed at him: "What are you afraid of? Qin Huai has never come here since he locked us up here."
Asking his subordinates to open the door, Shen Bai put the gun back on his waist and asked: "Why don't you run away?"
"I can't escape." After the door opened, Qiao Yi stretched his arms and legs, kicking the unconscious Gu Yunqing on the ground. "These two... I don't know what Qin Huai did, but they've been unconscious the whole time. Besides, you can't use supernatural powers in this room."
It should be that some device to restrain superpowers was installed in the past to prevent the experimental subjects from escaping.
Qiao Yi muttered, "Qin Huai really knows this base well—it's hard for him to find such a haunted place."
Chen Bai glanced at Gu Yunqing and Su Qin lying on the ground: "Send them to the emergency room."
The team members immediately stepped forward with a stretcher and carried the two people away.
"Hey, what's going on out there?" Qiao Yi, who had met Shen Bai a few times in the lab, spoke casually. "That Qin Huai guy was kind enough to consider our friendship and not kill us outright—did your brother kill him?"
This naughty kid is so annoying with his chattering.
Shen Bai glanced at him and winked at Zhong Qian.
"Take Gu Yunqing and Su Qin to the emergency room. I'll go to the laboratory building to check on the situation..."
"Deputy Captain!" someone shouted from outside the corridor. "Oh no! There were explosions on the east wall and the laboratory building!"
