Chapter 318, First Step
It is said that the Nanjun Luo family attempted to control the Xiling base, but was beaten up by the returning Miss Jiang and driven out of the base along with their bedding.
According to eyewitnesses, Professor Si Xu even went to see off the Luo family's guests.
Luo Yuting didn't expect Jiang Ran to calm down immediately. Facing Si Xu again, he touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and said helplessly, "For what happened this time, I will pick a time to come and apologize in person."
"No need." Si Xu looked at Luo Yuting like a fool. "If you come again, he will definitely lock you up at the gate, just like now."
Luo Yuting: "..."
He smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect her to be so angry..."
"It's not that you didn't think about it, it's that you didn't think about it at all." Si Xu was indifferent to the man's explanation. "Luo Yuting, you can do this for your silly sister who you've been separated from for more than 20 years. What makes you think that other people's family love is worthless?"
“…”
"Look, it's not that you didn't think about it, it's that you haven't thought about this problem at all - that's why I said that even if you came here to apologize, Jiang Ran would just lock you at the door." Si Xu clicked his tongue twice and shook his head. "I thought you were a smart person, but in the end, you're just a vulgar person who thinks you're smart. What a pity."
Si Xu spoke so bluntly that Luo Yuting was speechless.
He really hadn't considered the friendship between Jiang Ran and Shen Yang. He knew that Jiang Ran and the Shen family were not on good terms, so he naturally assumed that Jiang Ran and Shen Yang were not on good terms either... He had thought that Jiang Ran might be angry because of his purpose, but he had never considered how important Shen Yang was to her.
This time, he was indeed self-righteous.
Luo Yuting apologized sincerely again: "I am truly sorry. If Miss Jiang needs anything in the future, as long as it does not violate my principles, I will do my best to help her."
"You're quite sincere." Si Xu was quite satisfied with the man's attitude and said, "Given your sincere attitude, the alliance between you and me is still valid for the time being."
Does he mean that the Quadruple Alliance is still in effect?
Luo Yuting nodded: "I understand."
"Since we are allies, I have two pieces of news for you. Do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news?"
"...What difference does it make?" If you can listen to good news instead of bad news, then that would be meaningful in principle.
"You're so boring," Si Xu complained, then said bluntly, "The good news is that we've obtained a suspected vaccine for the virus, and it's still in the experimental confirmation stage. The bad news is that intelligent zombies have appeared at the Dongchao base. Aside from eating humans, they're exactly like humans in every other way, including their appearance."
Luo Yuting's brain short-circuited for a moment.
What Si Xu said, whether it was good news or bad news, was like a bomb exploding in his mind, making him unable to calm down and think for a while.
"Vaccine..." He was more concerned about the former than the zombies. "What's going on?"
"It was researched by the Dongchao Laboratory where Si Nian works. We don't know if it's true yet."
"If only it were a vaccine..." Luo Yuting muttered, his mind starting to work normally. "How did you find that intelligent zombie? Did it come and attack you? Was it for the vaccine?"
Well, this guy had some brains. His guess was pretty close, so Si Xu picked out some key information and said, "Besides what you've guessed, I have one more thing to remind you: that zombie is a high-level spatial mutant with a unique ability, capable of projecting energy outwards. Even I, in his specific space, wouldn't be his match. So, when you go out in the future, it's best to prepare some escape tools like smoke bombs."
Space release? It was a special ability he had never encountered before. Luo Yuting frowned: "You two have fought before, how did you break it?"
"I didn't crack it." Si Xu was honest. "It was Jiang Ran. She can negate all superpowers."
Luo Yuting: "..." Wait a minute, what kind of bug or mutant ability is this from Jiang Ran?!
"You should have noticed it earlier. Look, when she was fighting those two idiots today, their abilities were completely useless." Si Xu smiled as he recalled his little girl's heroic appearance. "I've always said that my Jiang Ran is very powerful, but no one believed me."
Everyone naturally regarded Jiang Ran as his appendage, but they didn't know that when they were pointing fingers and talking about girls, the little girl had already grown into someone who was out of their reach.
The man spoke with pride and obvious boasting.
Luo Yuting found that he only showed such a childish side when talking about things related to Jiang Ran. He laughed and said, "I know everything you said. I will immediately arrange for someone to take care of the next things after returning to Nanjun."
Si Xu replied nonchalantly, "Let's talk about it when you return to Nanjun alive."
Without giving Luo Yuting a chance to refute, he waved his hand and said goodbye: "The road is dangerous, you must be careful, the future person in charge of Nanjun."
…
After the Luo family was driven out of the base, Old Yan finally found his younger generation in the corner of the villa.
The man's condition was not much better than Xie Chengzhi's. The only thing to be thankful for was that he was left here with no one paying attention to him, and the bleeding from his wound had stopped.
Seeing Yan Jue being beaten like this, Old Man Yan was about to argue with Jiang Ran, but before he could open his mouth, the girl cracked her fingers, glanced at them expressionlessly, and asked impatiently: "Anything else?"
Mr. Yan: “…”
The long list of edifying words he had prepared were chopped to death by the girl's glare. He took a deep breath and said angrily, "Let's go!"
"What are you yelling about?" Jiang Ran kicked the broken chair on the ground and sneered, "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're old."
"you!"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Ran looked at Yan Jue and raised his chin. "I'm showing mercy this time to give face to your Yan family. If this young man from your family continues to be so ungrateful and mess with me... hmph."
She is now threatening, intimidating, and bullying the weak!
Old Master Yan pointed at Jiang Ran with a shaking finger, "You, you, you..." He couldn't make any sense for a long time.
Finally, he could only wave his hand angrily: "Let's go!"
After this lesson, the old man became more cautious and finally did not dare to continue to think about attacking the base.
…
When Jiang Ran came out of the villa, the crowd outside had already dispersed. She took a breath of fresh air until the fishy smell in her breath was diluted a lot, then she walked to the door to wait for the young man who had seen her off.
Si Xu went to see Luo Yuting off specially, and he must have something important to tell him - if Luo Yuting and his party can return to the Nanjun base safely, the treaty of the four-party alliance will come into effect.
At that time, it will be the first step for humans to fight back against viruses and zombies.
