Chapter 332, Taking Charge
Hearing Jiang Ran's question, Qiao Yi nudged her sister with her elbow and reminded her: "Don't cry, Sister Ran is asking you a question!"
Qiao Qiao wiped away her tears and sobbed, "It's just a simple search for supplies. Because the location is quite special, not many people are willing to take it, but the price is quite high, so Brother Xue took it."
"Place."
"Guang'an City."
"Guang'an?" Jiang Ran frowned. "Near Yancheng?"
Qiao Qiao nodded.
"No wonder no one took it. It turns out it's a mission near Yancheng." Jiang Ran shook his head helplessly. "Everyone else knows to avoid that place, so why did Xue Weixin lead his team there?"
Yancheng is Qin Huai's territory. Xue Weixin, who also came from the laboratory, must know who Qin Huai is, but he still went there.
"No," Qiao Qiao sniffed, defending her captain. "Besides taking care of our own team members, Brother Xue will also distribute the excess supplies to ordinary people after obtaining everyone's consent. Supplies and points are really important to us. But now that we've searched almost all the surrounding towns, the administrative hall is issuing fewer and fewer missions..."
Jiang Ran suddenly realized.
In addition to taking care of teammates, they also have to help ordinary people who are in difficult circumstances. Although Xue Weixin's team has long been ranked first in the standings, the supplies stockpiled by the team may not be as good as those of the special ability team at the bottom of the standings.
"Your captain..." Jiang Ran couldn't think of any words to describe the captain, "quite stupid." In the apocalypse, everyone is busy taking care of themselves, so how could they have the mood to care about the life and death of others?
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he remembered that there was someone next to him who was doing the same thing.
She glanced at Qiao Yi, who looked weary, and sighed, "Here, there's another idiot like Xue Weixin."
Xue Weixin helps ordinary people, while Qiao Yi helps the elderly, weak and sick in the slums.
The saying "birds of a feather flock together" is really true.
Qiao Yi pulled his hood up and chuckled, "You talk as if you're very smart."
Jiang Ran spread his hands: "If I were smart, I wouldn't be here listening to you guys talk so much."
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up, and she held Jiang Ran's hand tightly, stammering with excitement: "Sister Ranran, are you going to help us find Brother Xue?"
"To be honest, based on what you said, I think you can prepare for the worst." Jiang Ran gave Qiao Qiao a heads-up in advance.
The little girl, who had originally burst into laughter, pouted again and sobbed: "I, I know, Sister Ranran, thank you anyway."
Seeing the little girl crying sadly, Jiang Ran patted her head and said, "Don't cry. If your sister Youzi comes out and sees you crying so miserably, she will also be worried..."
Qiao Qiao wiped away her tears and choked: "I won't cry anymore..."
Jiang Ran took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. The girl took it and said, "Thank you, Sister Ranran."
Qiao Yi scoffed at her: "It's useless."
Wiping away her tears, Qiao Qiao raised her foot and kicked her brother on the calf, cursing: "What do you care!"
"Ouch!" Qiao Yi took a hard kick, but remained calm. "Who was it that came crying to me last night to ask for help? You're going too far, Qiao Qiao, to destroy the bridge after crossing it."
"You are the kid!"
"I'm a little kid. What are you? A little kid?"
"Qiao Yi!"
“…”
Jiang Ran walked around the two siblings and went into the hospital, leaving them fighting and hurting each other at the door.
Si Xu came out at some point and was waiting by the bench in the corridor. When she came in, he walked over and held her hand.
The man pursed his lips and didn't look very happy.
Not knowing how long he had been standing there, Jiang Ran pinched his palm and asked him, "Si Xu, did you hear everything?"
Si Xu nodded: "Yeah."
"Don't you want to save Xue Weixin?" Xue Weixin was also an experimental subject from the laboratory. Si Xu has always been partial to experimental subjects. Why does he seem unwilling to help this time?
"That woman..." Si Xu glanced at the emergency room and muttered, "Threatened me."
Jiang Ran didn't understand: "Huh?" Is there anyone in this Xiling base who dares to threaten Professor Si?
"She said that if I don't go find Xue Weixin, she won't save Luo Yuting." Si Xu snorted disdainfully, "Does she think Luo Yuting is important to me? If she hadn't delayed me for those few minutes, I would have gone out to find you a long time ago!"
Compared to being threatened, Si Xu really didn't care whether Luo Yuting was dead or alive.
The only thing that made him angry was that because of this woman's nagging, his Jiang Ran would have to stay outside alone for a few more minutes.
What if she was in danger during those few minutes!
"Ah." He finally understood. He cared more about her safety than being threatened by Lin You.
Jiang Ran smiled and pinched the man's face, coaxing him softly: "I guess she was too anxious and didn't really mean to threaten you. Besides, I've been back for a while. I met Captain Qin on the way, and she sent me here."
Si Xu still couldn't let it go: "Humph!"
Jiang Ran leaned on his arm and sighed, "I heard Qiao Qiao talk about what Xue Weixin and his team did. Si Xu, they are all good people. Lin You chose to find you, so it must be because no one else is willing to help her."
Xue Weixin didn't come back, Qiao Qiao was so anxious that she burst into tears. As Xue Weixin's lover, how could Lin You remain indifferent?
But without Xue Weixin's protection, she couldn't find anyone to help her. Finally, Si Xu came to her door, and she could only desperately grasp this life-saving straw.
"I know, I just don't like being threatened."
Jiang Ran felt amused as she tried to appease the man's childish and fickle temper.
Si Xu is a person who always responds softly to those he favors and does not tolerate harsh treatment.
Instead of threatening him with Luo Yuting's life, it would be better to cry like Qiao Qiao.
…
After comforting Si Xu, Jiang Ran turned the topic to business: "Si Xu, when are we leaving for Guang'an?"
Xue Weixin's team had been away from the base for half a month. If they really got into trouble, the sooner rescue arrived, the greater their chances of survival.
"I." Si Xu corrected her, "not us."
Jiang Ran was confused: "Why?"
"The situation at Xiling Base isn't good. If you leave now, those people will definitely..."
"Ah." Indeed, she and Si Xu had just returned, and the people in the association were concerned about them and didn't dare to make any waves.
If they leave tomorrow, those people will definitely make a move again.
Shen Yang's injuries haven't healed yet, and the Shen family currently has no one who can handle the situation...
"But..." Jiang Ran didn't want to part with him, "I can ask Captain Gu and Captain Qin..." Before she finished her words, she realized that she was being selfish.
Although Gu Yunqing and Su Qin are Si Xu's subordinates, they have no obligation to serve the Shen family.
What's more, they are good friends with Pei Wan'er, and Shen Yang is one of the murderers who killed Pei Wan'er.
