Chapter 368, Please Kill Me
After seeing the doctor off, Qian Miaomiao returned to the basement.
Xue Weixin was still in a coma. The dead flesh around the wound had been removed, the wound had been cleaned, and it had been sutured and re-applied with medicine.
The man's breathing became even, which was obviously much better than before.
Qiao Yi squatted beside the bed, listening to his breathing, and completely felt relieved.
"Sister Ranran, what did you give Brother Xue to eat?" Logically speaking, Xue Weixin's body would be weaker after the wound was treated, but the man was obviously getting better. Qiao Yi could only think of the pill that Jiang Ran gave him.
"This is the life-saving medicine that Mr. Tu Su gave me when we were at Beichen Base." Jiang Ran walked around the basement twice, frowning, "Qiao Yi, go out and book a hotel. We'll move Xue Weixin there."
"Is there a hotel in Yancheng Base?"
“I saw several on the way here.”
Qian Duoduo added: "There's one near my home—it's convenient, um, for couples..."
Qiao Yi was shocked: "Even though they're being chased by zombies, they still have this kind of fun?"
He didn't waste any time and got up to go out and book a hotel.
In order to protect Xue Weixin, the Qian brothers and sisters kept him in the basement. The basement was damp, dark, airtight, and without light from the ceiling, making it not a suitable place to recuperate.
…
After Qiao Yi booked the hotel, Jiang Ran carried Xue Weixin to the hotel in a swaggering manner.
When the receptionist saw Qiao Yi, she was very enthusiastic. But when she saw the person Qiao Yi brought with her, her expression changed drastically.
"You can't bring him in!" the girl blocked the door, "We don't accept injured patients here."
"It's not like I haven't paid any points, so why wouldn't I take in the injured?" Qiao Yi looked at the little sister and smiled, "Don't worry, it'll only take a few days. Once my eldest brother's injury gets better, we'll leave right away."
Dazzled by his smile, the girl tugged at the hem of her clothes, insisting on her position: "It's not that I don't allow you to stay here, it's...it's Coach Luo who has this rule."
"It's okay." Jiang Ran hooked the little girl's shoulder and pulled her aside so that Qiao Yi could send her up. "Luo Rui will come find me."
She swiped her points on the credit card machine at the front desk and pushed the little girl out of the hotel door: "I'm not renting a room, I'm renting the whole hotel. The points have been swiped - little sister, go out and play for a few days and come back, be good."
After saying that, he slammed the door.
Little girl: “…”
Qiao Yi was waiting for her in the corridor. Hearing the noise downstairs, he looked out and asked, "How's it going?"
"Go look behind you."
Qiao Yi made an OK gesture, left the injured person behind and went to the back door.
The injured person was thrown in the corridor. He looked around and stretched out his hand: "Miss Jiang, can you give me a hand?"
The medicine Jiang Ran gave him was very effective. After only half a day, his mental strength had almost recovered.
Seeing Xue Weixin's helpless expression, Jiang Ran smiled and walked over to help him up.
"Captain Xue, are you and Qiao Yi close?" Qiao Yi only reveals his childish side in front of acquaintances.
"Yeah." Xue Weixin didn't deny it. "Qiao Yi, Qiao Qiao, and Youzi and I came from the same lab."
I see.
"We had many test subjects in that lab, but in the end, only four of us survived." Xue Weixin pressed his wound and smiled bitterly, "I treated Qiao Yi as my own brother, but maybe I was too controlling of him, and he couldn't stand me, so he started his own business."
His tone was helpless, just like the indulgence he had to give to his own naughty child. Jiang Ran said: "Qiao Yi is the kind of person who has a bad mouth, but he actually cares about his friends very much."
"I know." Xue Weixin thought, "That child and I grew up together. I know what he is like very well. It is because I know him so well that I worry that he will be deceived by others outside."
It’s a good thing that he met Jiang Ran. If he had met someone else, who knows what kind of trouble would have happened.
In response to his comment, Jiang Ran just smiled and said nothing more.
…
Qiao Yi dragged a man back from the back door. The man was knocked unconscious by him and when he was thrown to the ground, he just groaned and did not wake up.
"This is?"
"I was watching from the back door of the hotel."
Jiang Ran understood: "It seems that Luo Rui really sent people to keep an eye on Miao Miao's family... Since she is so cautious, we can't let down our guard."
Jiang Ran flexed her fingers, gently kicked the man with her toes, and said with a smile: "It's better to strike first - give our Luo Shuai a big gift!"
…
When Liu Yi found the psychic guarding the back door, the man was dozing off against the corner of the wall.
The man frowned and stopped in front of his subordinate: "Ahem!"
The half-asleep man suddenly woke up, rubbing his eyes and reporting: "Captain Liu! Everything is normal here!"
Liu Yi looked at him coldly, and asked with a half-smile: "You sleep so soundly, can you notice anything unusual?"
The psychic shrank his neck and whispered, "I just took a nap, I didn't really fall asleep."
"Still quibbling!" Liu Yi sneered, "There are Luo Shuai's enemies here. If you let them escape, you'll see how Luo Shuai will deal with you!"
When he was young, he used to hang out with Qin Huai's people. Although he didn't have the chance to be appreciated by Qin Huai, it wasn't as troublesome as it is now.
After hearing Liu Yi's words, he snorted coldly and muttered, "Luo Shuai, Luo Shuai, is just a guy who dares to bully others when Boss Qin is away. He really thinks he is nothing, haha."
Luo Rui had been very kind to him, and he couldn't stand hearing anyone say bad things about her. Before the boy could finish his words, Liu Yi kicked him to the ground.
"You want to die, I can help you."
The man activated his supernatural powers, and the supernatural users who followed him all took a defensive stance.
The boy rolled on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
Hearing this, he raised his head, and the smile on his lips gradually turned cold: "Liu Yi, when Boss Qin was here, you were not as majestic as you are now."
He was assigned here to keep an eye on Xue Weixin and his group, and he was not happy about it to begin with, so now he just threw in the towel: "Liu Yi, that Luo guy is so proud now, wait until Boss Qin comes back, and see who will have the last laugh!"
Liu Yi didn't want to cause trouble at such a critical moment, but the other party kept calling him Qin Huai, adding fuel to his anger.
The man stared at the young man for a long time, then gave a sinister smile: "Well, since you trust your Boss Qin so much, go find him in the underworld!"
He swung his hand and threw out a wind blade. Seeing that the boy dodged, he ordered the people around him: "Catch him and put him in jail!"
"...Yes, Captain Liu."
"Let someone keep an eye on this place. If there's any movement from Xue Weixin's side, report it immediately!"
"receive."
…
Looking out the window, Qiao Yi could see the entire dispute going on not far away. He squatted by the windowsill and sighed, "It seems we've done that stalker a lot of harm."
"That guy is from Qin Huai, and he already has a grudge against Luo Rui." Jiang Ran cracked some melon seeds, "It's not like we harmed him."
Qian Miaomiao was also watching the fun: "What's the point of us moving here?"
She didn't know what Jiang Ran had done. After waking up, the psychic seemed to have forgotten that he was knocked unconscious by Qiao Yi, and continued to squat at the back door to guard.
While he was unconscious, they had already moved to an empty house not far away.
But, it’s only a dozen meters from the hotel to here, what’s the difference?
Luo Rui could always find them if she wanted to.
Jiang Ran stuffed the remaining melon seeds into Qiao Yi's pocket and took a look around through the binoculars. "That hotel was a gift for Luo Rui, and this place is where Xue Weixin recuperates. Of course, there's a difference."
Qian Miaomiao: "...there's really no difference between you answering and not answering. Anyway, I don't understand."
Jiang Ran fixed his sight on one point and adjusted the distance of the telescope: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, don't go home for a few days. Stay here. I'll find a free time tonight to deal with Luo Rui."
Knowing that this woman was an ordinary person like herself, Qian Miaomiao felt that she was bragging.
"You deal with Luo Rui? How do you deal with it?"
Luo Rui is a fifth-level wood-type mutant. She has beaten all the powerful mutants in their base, and only agreed to let her take over Qin Huai's position after they were beaten to the point of being speechless... How can she, an ordinary person, deal with Luo Rui?
After confirming Qin Huai's residence, Jiang Ran put down the telescope, sat back on the ground and closed his eyes to rest: "I have my own way."
She didn't know why, but when a girl was silent, she always felt a little afraid of her... Qian Miaomiao said tentatively: "How about this, we hold on for a few more days, maybe Boss Qin and Sister Yaoyao will come back."
"You should prepare for the worst." Qiao Yi interrupted, "Qin Huai is dead."
He is telling the truth.
With Qin Huai's personality, if he wasn't dead, he wouldn't hide at all and would just watch Luo Rui showing off her power in the Yancheng base.
Qian Miaomiao raised her fist and hit him: "What nonsense are you talking about! Boss Qin will not die!"
After being tickled twice without causing any pain, Qiao Yi was too lazy to continue arguing with the girl.
Of course, he also hoped that Qin Huai was not dead. At least in his opinion, fighting with Qin Huai was much more interesting than playing tricks with Luo Rui.
Qian Miaomiao continued to mutter, and Jiang Ran stood up: "I'm going to rest for a while. I have something to do tonight. You two stay here and keep an eye on it."
Qiao Yi looked at her with some concern: "Hey."
"Um?"
"You..." The young man hesitated for a long time and said awkwardly, "Don't worry, Professor Si is so capable, he will be fine."
Was his worry so obvious? Jiang Ran smiled bitterly, but still nodded and said, "I know, he will be fine."
…
After arriving at the Yancheng base, there was still no trace of Si Xu.
Qin Huai and Shen Yao also disappeared, and their disappearance was inexplicable.
Jiang Ran sighed.
Si Xu is not someone who would make her worry. She felt uncomfortable after not hearing from him for so long, but she also knew that she had to prepare for the worst.
Something happened to Si Xu.
Jiang Ran raised his hands to cover his eyes.
She wasn't one to let her imagination run wild, but there was Luo Rui at Yancheng Base...
The heroine of the original book, who killed Si Xu in the original work.
Such an original setting made her think too much.
If Si Xu was really plotted against by Luo Rui... Jiang Ran clenched his fists tightly and closed his eyes.
Don't be distracted. No matter what happened in the Yancheng base or where Si Xu is now, you will know the answer when you see Luo Rui tonight.
…
After listening to Liu Yi's report, Luo Rui put down the teacup, and the curve of her mouth became more obvious.
"Oh my, I thought it was just Qian Miaomiao and her siblings, but I didn't expect..." The smile turned into a ferocious one, "I didn't expect Jiang Ranran and Qiao Yi to also arrive at the Yancheng base!"
Hearing her gnashing her teeth as she spoke the names of the strangers, Liu Yi asked in surprise, "Luo Shuai, do you know that couple?"
"I know her." Luo Rui leaned back in her wheelchair, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the necklace around her neck. She sneered, "My legs are thanks to that woman—haha, now that they've entered the Yancheng base, I'm not going to let them walk out unscathed."
I thought the girl's legs were born disabled, but I didn't expect that they were damaged later in life. Liu Yi's eyes were cold, and he tried to keep his tone gentle: "Luo Shuai, what are your plans?"
"Jiang Ranran knows me." Luo Rui said, "Tonight, gather our trustworthy people and take action."
Liu Yi was just what he wanted: "Yes!"
He knew that the man, the one kept in the room by the girl, was going to die. Once that man died, Luo Shuai would be alone again.
He believed that as long as he assisted her, protected her, and never left her, one day he would be able to enter the woman's heart.
Luo Rui is a high-level wood-type mutant. She was able to evolve her ability to the fifth level in one year in the apocalypse, which shows her talent.
He is not a talented person, so he can only choose to follow a talented person - compared to Qin Huai who killed his brother, Luo Rui who promoted him makes him feel more at ease.
The man took a deep breath, his smile growing wider.
Tonight is his time to show his skills, and he won't let anyone steal his thunder!
…
As if aware of the upcoming confrontation, the weather at Yancheng Base, which had been sunny for many days, changed in the evening.
A gust of wind blew, pushing the dark clouds onto the top of the base. The lightning that occasionally streaked across the sky made the already restless night even more suffocating.
After a simple change of clothes, Jiang Ran followed the patrol route of the superpower team given by Qian Duoduo, avoided the superpower team's night patrols, and walked towards Qin Huai's residence.
When she reached the outer wall of the courtyard, the hotel door was kicked open by someone, and Liu Yi led the special ability team straight to the second floor.
"That woman must be captured alive, and all the others must be killed!"
…
The yard was very quiet. After Jiang Ran made sure that no one was there, he climbed into the study through the first-floor window and looked around the room carefully.
Obviously, Luo Rui was very confident about tonight's operation and also very confident in her own super powers - in the entire courtyard, except for the two patrolling super powers, there were no other super powers in the house and no security devices.
Not knowing where Luo Rui was right now, Jiang Ran crouched down and slid up to the second floor.
There were not many rooms on the second floor, so Jiang Ran chose the nearest one. She listened for a while by the door, and after making sure that there was no one in the room, she groped her way to the next room.
She came here alone, and if the other side had too many people, she would definitely not be able to escape unscathed, so she had to capture the leader first - deal with Luo Rui, and those psychics in Yancheng base were just fence-sitters, not to be feared.
There was a faint sound in the second room. Jiang Ran didn't hesitate and pushed the door open and walked in.
She moved quickly and gently, and after closing the door, she heard a soft cry from the person in the room.
She looked at the man and was stunned.
Luo Rui was not in the room, and there was someone lying on the bed in the room.
The man was wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes exposed.
When he saw her, his eyes flashed with eagerness.
Recognizing who that person was, Jiang Ran walked to the bedside with a complicated expression.
"Ran...Ran." The man called out her name with difficulty.
Jiang Ran lowered his eyes to look at him and whispered, "Xie Chengzhi."
The bandages all over his body were soaked with black blood, and standing close, she could smell the stench of decay coming from him.
"Ran, Ran." The man raised his hand with difficulty and tightly grasped the corner of the girl's clothes, "Please..."
Jiang Ran leaned over.
"Please... kill me."
