Chapter 377: Enemy at the Gate
After seeing Si Xu off, Jiang Ran returned to the office and just in time saw Tao Luyi coming over with an insulated box.
The girl saw her, ran up to her quickly, and gestured: "I made dinner, are you done?"
Jiang Ran looked at the insulated box she was carrying and said with a smile: "Sister Lu Yi, did you make this specially for me? Or..."
Tao Luyi's cheeks flushed a brighter crimson than the sunset glow, and she emphasized, "I made a lot, and we all ate it together."
Jiang Ran said in a long tone: "Thanks to big brother, I won't be polite."
Hearing the footsteps, Shen Yang put down his legs on the desk, straightened his clothes, and sat down.
Shen Feng scoffed at him: "Pretending."
There was a knock on the office door, and a smiling face came in: "Brother, Brother Shen."
She brought Tao Luyi into the office and said, "Sister Luyi made dinner. You guys must be hungry after all the hard work."
Seeing that it was the two of them, Shen Yang put his legs on the table again and said lazily: "I'm not hungry."
"You're not hungry, but I am." Jiang Ran took Tao Luyi's oversized lunch box and placed it on the table. He then pushed Shen Yang's feet down, opened the lunch box, and took out the dishes one by one. "Wow, Sister Luyi, you're such a good cook."
Without waiting for Tao Luyi to answer, Shen Yang exposed his sister's little thoughts and said coldly: "Your praise is really perfunctory."
Jiang Ran glared at him: "How can I be perfunctory? This is a compliment from the bottom of my heart - I'm telling you, brother, there are not many people who can get my praise for their cooking skills, hey."
The girl's smug little expression vividly caught his sight. Shen Yang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and silently agreed with her words.
Watching the interaction between the brother and sister, Shen Feng hummed, walked to the desk and sat down: "Shen Yang. Since you are not hungry, I will take care of your portion for you."
Shen Yang glanced at him and ignored his provocation: “Whatever you want.”
Being ignored, Chen Feng was not angry, and called Tao Luyi: "Sit down, why are you all standing? There is no one else here."
He knew what Shen Yang was thinking, and deliberately stood between the man and Jiang Ran, with some warning in mind.
No matter who this girl named Jiang Ranran is, as long as she is wearing this skin, Shen Yang should give up his shameful thoughts as soon as possible.
Chen Feng squeezed in between the siblings. Tao Luyi naturally walked to the other side of Jiang Ran. Just as she was about to sit down, someone pulled her arm. Looking over, she saw Shen Yang had already stood up: "Sit here with me."
Tao Luyi didn't move.
Jiang Ran was surprised: "Brother, you really don't want to eat dinner?"
"I said I'm not hungry." Shen Yang held up his coat. "I'm going to check outside the outer wall. Three special ability teams have left. We have to be more careful for the next period of time."
Jiang Ran was annoyed: "No matter how careful you are, you still have to eat, right?"
She pushed him back into his chair, then pushed another chair next to him and pulled Tao Luyi to sit down. "Isn't this better?" she muttered. "It's not like we need another chair."
Chen Feng smiled: "Yeah, it's not like I need a chair~"
Shen Yang had no way to deal with the two of them, so he could only rub his brows and give up struggling.
Tao Luyi glanced at him quietly, and silently placed a bowl of soup in front of him: "If you're not hungry, drink some soup."
Jiang Ran chewed on the ribs and mumbled, "Brother, Sister Lu Yi's cooking skills are really good. It would be a pity if you don't eat some."
She suddenly remembered something and realized, "Oh, right, you're with Sister Green every day, so you must have eaten it a long time ago."
Shen Feng: "I often go to Shen's house, why haven't I eaten there?"
Jiang Ran echoed him: "You're not my brother, why should I make it specially for you?"
"Ah, that makes sense. It's my bad reincarnation, ah~"
Every time they said something, Tao Luyi lowered her head twice.
Seeing the girl almost shrinking under the table, Shen Yang frowned and tapped the table with his fingers: "You two."
He looked at the two of them with a smile: "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. Have you forgotten?"
Jiang Ran and Shen Feng both lowered their heads to eat, without making another groan - tsk, a man who gets angry out of shame is really scary.
…
On the tenth day after the team left, Jiang Ran went to the hospital to visit Qin Huai with some stewed chicken soup.
This is because Si Xu threw someone into the hospital again. Jiang Ran saw Chen Yao and felt a little embarrassed: "Sister Yaoyao, I made some soup and brought it to you."
Chen Yao was coaxing Qin Huai to take a bath.
Except for the gunshot wounds on his chest and shoulder, his skin injuries were almost healed, so Shen Yao wanted to take him to the bathroom to clean up.
Unexpectedly, this guy turned completely into a cat. His fur instantly stood up when he saw the water and he ran out of the bathroom all wet.
Chen Yao wrapped him in a bath towel and tried to persuade him for a long time, but to no avail.
He huddled in the corner and refused to go to the bathroom no matter what she said.
Jiang Ran looked at the tug-of-war between the two in surprise, wondering: "Sister Shen Yao, why doesn't he want to take a shower?"
"Because I was thrown into the potion when I was in the laboratory before." After returning to Xiling, Chen Yao got all the information related to Qin Huai, "Maybe... it left a psychological trauma."
I know that the experimental subjects have a hard time, especially those who are disobedient like Qin Huai.
Jiang Ran sighed and opened the lid of the thermos.
The room was suddenly filled with rich fragrance.
Qin Huai, who was hiding in the corner, twitched his nose and turned to look at the thermos on the table.
He licked his lips.
Hearing his stomach growl twice, Shen Yao laughed dumbly: "Hungry?"
Qin Huai nodded.
"Put on your clothes and let's eat first."
This time Qin Huai was obedient and went into the bathroom to change his clothes.
"Sister Chen Yao, go quickly." Jiang Ran pushed Chen Yao, "Tell him that a good boy should take a bath before eating, otherwise take him to the cafeteria."
Chen Yao: "..." Well, this is a good idea. Isn't this how you coax children?
Jiang Ran waited outside for twenty minutes, and the wet Chen Yao came out of the bathroom with the refreshed Qin Huai.
"Ranran, let me tell you, I'm raising this guy like a large pet!" Chen Yao wiped her hair and watched Qin Huai sip the soup from the bowl. She complained, "He's still a pet that doesn't like taking a bath!"
Jiang Ran also served her a bowl and asked, "Have you examined him?"
"I did." Chen Yao was dejected. "Nothing wrong was found."
How did I suddenly lose my memory? How did I suddenly become a child?
Chen Yao has a headache.
Knowing that he didn't know much about medicine, Jiang Ran could only comfort Chen Yao: "It's good news that no other problems were found, Sister Yaoyao. There's still a long way to go. Maybe he'll get better on his own after a while."
Shen Yao nodded: "I think so too."
She sighed, picked up the soup Jiang Ran had served her, and just took a sip when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the corridor.
"Miss Jiang!" The ward door was opened. Zhong Qian stood at the doorway and took a breath. "The Xiling base is surrounded by zombies!"
As if he had expected this, Jiang Ran patted Shen Yao's shoulder soothingly and stood up: "I understand."
So, the Nanjun base is indeed a trap.
However, Shi Yuzhi's goal was not to catch all the superpower teams coming to support, but to lure away the superpower teams from Xiling base, especially Si Xu who could compete with Feng Ting.
Their goal has always been the Xiling base.
