Chapter 371, No Love
Qin Huai's words exposed her little thought. Jiang Ran just licked her lips and changed the subject calmly: "These zombies listen to you. Why don't you just take them away from the Yancheng base, as far away as possible..."
"Jiang Ran." Qin Huai rubbed his temples. "Do you think that such a large-scale spiritual power has no effect on my body?"
Without waiting for Jiang Ran to reply, he simply sat down on the broken wall: "I'm so sorry, let alone taking them away, I can hardly even stand now."
The superpowers of a psychic cannot be used endlessly. Once they exceed the body's tolerance, the body will collapse, and in severe cases, sudden death will occur.
Qin Huai's superpowers covered the three destroyed walls of Yancheng Base, almost including the entire periphery of Yancheng Base. Such a large-scale activation of mental superpowers... Even if the superpowers had mutated, I'm afraid it wouldn't last long.
Jiang Ran knew that he was not lying, so she calmly sat down beside him and shot and killed several nearby zombies.
"What are you doing?" Qin Huai laughed at her. "Instead of wasting bullets here, you should have followed those people and retreated to Qingcheng Mountain as soon as possible."
The only way up Qingcheng Mountain was blocked by huge rocks sliding down the mountain. People with brains knew how to use the geographical advantage to save their lives - however, there were many fools in Yancheng Base, and he really thought that even if those people went up Qingcheng Mountain, they would eventually become food for zombies.
The only person he considered smart was now by his side, "never leaving him". If he hadn't known that she was Si Xu's woman, he would have suspected that she had a crush on him.
"Since you're so bored, why don't you count the total number of zombies here and calculate what percentage of them are the ones you killed?"
Ignoring his taunts, Jiang Ran checked the bullets in the gun and said casually, "I won't leave."
The Yancheng base is no longer usable, and those people cannot stay in Qingcheng Mountain forever, so these zombies must be dealt with.
She wants to find a way to deal with these zombies.
Knowing what the girl was thinking, Qin Huai remained noncommittal - she was about to become a meal for the zombies, yet she was still thinking about other people. Should he say she was naive or stupid?
However, in this respect, the two sisters are very similar.
Thinking of the person Luo Rui had taken away, Qin Huai's eyes turned cold for a moment, but soon changed into a smile: "After my superpower collapsed, these zombies lost control. You stayed here and just made a good appetizer for them - Jiang Ran, do you really want to live and die with me?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him and continued to check the gun: "Since you fought so hard today, I forgive your careless words."
Qin Huai rested one hand on his knee, holding his chin and looking at her: "Jiang Ran, aren't we enemies? Your reaction, are you secretly in love with me?"
The pistol twirled between his fingers, the muzzle pointed at the man's chest. Jiang Ran chuckled, "Qin Huai, you seem to like the first gift I gave you?"
When they first met, he ordered the zombies to attack Chu Yuan, and she gave him a bullet. He still has a scar on his chest.
Qin Huai squinted his eyes and smiled, the firelight cast a dancing light and shadow on his face.
"Hey, it's not bad to have a little beauty by my side before I die~"
He stood up, stretched, and looked at his watch: "Well, it's almost time."
He reminded Jiang Ran who had also stood up: "I'll give you three seconds, you run first."
"run?"
"I'm going to take these things..." He pointed at the dumbfounded zombies, "and parade them through the streets."
Understanding what he meant, Jiang Ran turned around and jumped off the wall: "I'll wait for you in the arena."
After the people in the city evacuated, the next task was to rescue Shen Yao.
Qin Huai waved his hands, his attitude very perfunctory: "I know, I know!"
…
On an early autumn night, a thin layer of mist rose in the garden. The little girl tiptoed through the garden and slipped into the institute through the back door.
She was familiar with the route, avoiding the occasional passing researchers and stopped at the door of a laboratory.
"My brother told me they sent you back." The girl whispered to the lab door, "Are you okay? I promised to take you out to see the stars. My brother said there would be a meteor shower tonight..."
No response.
She was about to say something else when she heard footsteps approaching in the corridor.
The little girl looked around, pushed open the cabinet door in the corner of the corridor and climbed in.
"This lab report will be out in two days. Please organize it and send it to me together with the previous lab report."
"yes."
"The situation with 541 is a bit special. Please contact me immediately when you get the result."
"I understand. Doctor, it seems that 541's body is unable to fully absorb the BN7. He has been in very poor condition these past few days."
"Don't worry about it, continue the experiment."
"……yes."
"541 was originally just a test subject. Even if it fails, the experience we can gain from this experiment is far more valuable than just a test subject."
“…”
"Don't hesitate. Now that we've come this far, none of us has the right to turn back. Look at Professor Jiang. He initially refused to cooperate, but now he's surrendered. Oh, be smart and don't feel sympathy for those test subjects. Otherwise, you won't get far down this path."
"Got it, Doctor."
The men approached, opened the door, threw the dragged teenager into the room and slammed the door shut.
As the footsteps faded away, the girl climbed out of the closet.
She ran to the door and looked inside through the observation glass.
The boy curled up on the ground, motionless.
She called him many times, but he didn't respond at all.
She thought he was dead and ran out in a panic to find someone to save him.
Running along the corridor, there are cubicle-like laboratories on both sides, with different experimental subjects imprisoned inside.
As she ran past, she could hear all sorts of noises.
Painful roars, faint groans... In her eyes, compared to the research institute, this place is more like a man-eating cage, and the well-dressed adults she knows are all carnivorous plants with fangs.
Shen Yao slowly opened her eyes, and the dim light that came into her sight made her unable to tell for a moment whether she was in a dream or had returned to Yancheng.
"woke up?"
The sound of a wheelchair rolling over the ground stopped beside her. Shen Yao turned to look at the person and murmured: "Luo Rui?"
Where is this place? Why is she with Luo Rui? Where is Qin Huai? Shouldn't she have been hit by the zombie's superpowers along with Qin Huai?
Luo Rui didn't reply, and Shen Yao sat up from the ground.
"Does this place look familiar to you?" Luo Rui pushed the wheelchair and circled around her. After the girl stood up, she raised the gun across her lap and pointed it at her, "Chen Yao, don't act rashly."
Shen Yao didn't move, she turned her head and looked around.
This place did look familiar. On the day she lost consciousness, this place was turned into ruins by Luo Rui and the zombie. She remembered that Qin Huai said that it would not be rebuilt.
"This is the arena that your lover Qin Huai renovated," Luo Rui said to herself. "It looks familiar, doesn't it? My Chengzhi was tortured here again and again until he lost his life."
Feeling guilty, Shen Yao lowered her eyes and didn't look at Luo Rui.
The empty arena was renovated and even the ground was cleaned.
Xie Chengzhi's body was lying not far from Chen Yao. After the bandages were removed, the stench became stronger.
Shen Yao only took a glance and then looked away.
Seeing her little action, Luo Rui laughed: "Scary? Do you think Chengzhi is scary now?"
When she got no response, she grabbed the girl's hair and forced her to look at Xie Chengzhi: "Chen Yao, look carefully - Chengzhi was killed by Jiang Ranran and Qin Huai, open your eyes and see clearly!"
The girl pulled her hair tightly, causing a stinging pain on her scalp. Shen Yao bit her lips tightly, not making a sound.
Luo Rui stared at Chen Yao - if you look closely, Chen Yao and Jiang Ranran are somewhat similar, worthy of being sisters. Haha, if you can't kill Jiang Ranran, killing Chen Yao is not bad either.
At least when this woman died, it wasn't just Jiang Ranran and Qin Huai who suffered.
Letting go of the woman's hair, Luo Rui gently stroked the top of her head and said in a soothing tone, "Chen Yao, don't be afraid. Jiang Ranran promised me that she would exchange Qin Huai's head for you. If she does that, I will let you go."
Chen Yao, who had remained silent, reacted to her words: "Use Qin Huai's head... in exchange for me?"
"That's right." Luo Rui's fingers moved from the top of the woman's hair to her cheek, her nails almost digging into the soft flesh. "Your sister, your lover, one of them will die in the end - Chen Yao, who do you want to die?"
This woman is crazy.
Shen Yao closed her eyes and didn't want to answer her question.
Ranran and Qin Huai... She prayed in her heart, hoping that neither of them would come, hoping that they would abandon her.
She doesn't need them to save her. If the price of saving her is their lives, she doesn't need anyone to save her.
Luo Rui let go of her and pushed the wheelchair to Xie Chengzhi's side.
She gently stroked the man's face, even though it was completely disfigured.
"Chengzhi, wait for me. I will avenge you soon. Wait for me."
How could it be considered revenge if it was just Qin Huai or Jiang Ran? She wanted them both dead!
…
Jiang Ran arrived at the arena and didn't see anyone else along the way. He thought that everyone in the city should have retreated to Qingcheng Mountain.
In accordance with the agreement with Qin Huai, the girl did not go directly into the gate, but walked around the arena with her bag on her back.
She returned to the door, but Qin Huai had not arrived yet.
There were two people lying at the door. They were the psychics who escorted Luo Rui here.
Both men were shot in the forehead and died instantly.
Lori has a gun.
She could have killed them both with her powers, but she chose to shoot. Jiang Ran thought of the underground arena Si Xu had mentioned, where powers couldn't be used. It seemed Luo Rui had restored the place to its original state.
Jiang Ran went to the control room.
…
Hearing the door of the arena being pushed open, Shen Yao's breathing stagnated, and she slowly turned her head to look at the person who appeared in the arena.
A handsome man, like a mountain elf, walked from the shadow outside the door into the light.
His eyes fell on her, and he smiled softly as usual.
"Qin Huai..." Shen Yao's nose felt sore for some reason, and she murmured, "Why did you come?"
His coming, does it mean that Ranran has died at his hands?
Seeing Qin Huai, Luo Rui's eyes flashed with surprise, but the surprise was quickly replaced by ecstasy. She stared at Qin Huai and asked a thoughtful question: "I asked Jiang Ranran to kill you, and now you are standing here intact. Does this mean that Jiang Ranran is dead?"
Jiang Ranran is not the type of person who would abandon her relatives. If she were still alive, she would definitely try every possible means to save Shen Yao.
Unexpectedly, Luo Rui had such thoughts. Qin Huai simply followed her lead: "Do you think you can kill me with just Jiang Ranran?"
He walked towards Luo Rui: "Luo Rui, if you don't want to die, return Chen Yao to me, and I will let you leave Yancheng Base safely."
This sounded really familiar. I thought, he must have used this harmless face and these words to deceive people, like her.
She actually believed that he would spare Xie Chengzhi's life and wait for her to rescue him.
What was waiting for her?
It's the damp and dark basement and her slowly rotting lover!
The smile on her face disappeared, Luo Rui stared at Qin Huai and pushed the wheelchair to Shen Yao's side.
"Qin Huai, you are not qualified to threaten me or negotiate with me now. You are more familiar with this arena than I am. You cannot use superpowers here. No matter how powerful your superpowers are, they are useless here."
Qin Huai remained calm. "I built the arena, so of course I know its conditions. Luo Rui, you don't think I can't do anything to you without my special abilities?"
"Of course I'm not so naive." Luo Rui raised the gun to Shen Yao's head, "Qin Huai, tell me, why do you treat Shen Yao differently?"
Huh? Why ask such a question at a time like this? Jiang Ran, squatting in the control room, was stunned when he heard this question.
Qin Huai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you care about this?"
"I'm just curious."
Luo Rui's attitude was not as crazy as if she had seen her enemy, and every move she made was calm.
Jiang Ran knew very well that she was so calm now because she was suppressing herself.
Suppress yourself and wait for a breaking point.
Jiang Ran knew this, and so did Qin Huai: "If I answer you, will you let her go?"
"Qin Huai, you're not such a naive person." Luo Rui shook her head and smiled, "If you answer me, I can make your death easier."
Qin Huai sighed: "Is this answer important?"
"I told you, I'm just curious."
The man said casually: "Then I refuse to answer."
"Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out, and a bloody flower splashed on Shen Yao's shoulder.
She groaned and bit her lips hard again. Her body, trembling with pain, was pulled up by the woman's hair.
"Oh, sorry, my gun went off accidentally." Luo Rui pulled the girl's hair and smiled happily when she saw her face covered in sweat from the pain. "Qin Huai, you still don't want to tell me?"
The smile on Qin Huai's lips did not change, and the light in his eyes was replaced by a deep darkness.
He stared at Luo Rui and said word by word: "She is a member of the Shen family."
"Oh? Shouldn't the Shen family be your enemies?"
Qin Huai asked as a matter of course: "The enemy is more interesting, isn't it?"
"Yes, having her fall in love with you to the point of being unable to extricate herself, and having the Shen family's high-ranking eldest daughter toyed with at will... is indeed quite interesting." Luo Rui nodded in agreement. "Qin Huai, it seems that you don't love her."
"So what?"
"You don't love her, but you're willing to die for her. You're such a strange person."
Luo Rui said this, moving the gun to the girl's temple: "Chen Yao, did you hear that? This man doesn't love you at all."
As Luo Rui spoke, she deliberately pressed her elbow against the wound on her shoulder. Shen Yao's face turned pale with pain, but her tone was calm: "Very good."
He doesn't love her, that's good.
Only at this time did she feel relieved in her heart that he didn't love her. It was really good.
