Chapter 387 I Have No Wishes
After Si Xu came out of the ward, the patient's pale fingers on the bed bounced lightly.
He slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes for a long time, and then closed them again.
…
When Si Xu and Jiang Ran arrived at Chen Yao's office, there was a loud noise coming from inside, mixed with Chen Yao's collapsed voice trying to reconcile.
"Qin Huai! Don't fight him! Stop it, both of you!"
Is this a fight? Qin Huai and who? Has the wind stopped? Jiang Ran smiled playfully, tightened his grip on Si Xu's fingers, and said, "When enemies meet, they're particularly jealous. Yaoyao must be having a hard time raising the children."
Si Xu stopped at the door of the ward. Hearing the crackling sound in the office, he frowned and pushed open the closed door without hesitation.
After a bang, the office fell silent.
On the floor, various fragments such as vases, fruit plates and cups were scattered all over the ground. Qin Huai and Feng Ting were holding the armrests on both sides of the chair, trying to kill each other with their eyes. Chen Yao stood aside, not knowing who to scold.
Seeing Si Xu, they both snorted and let go of their chairs.
Jiang Ran peeked out from behind Si Xu, took in the messy battlefield, and said with emotion: "You two are such a waste! Look at all the stuff on the ground. It's worth a lot of points."
Si Xu said coldly, "The things Qin Huai broke will be converted into points and deducted from Chen Yao. The things Feng Ting broke... will be deducted from the food allowance."
Qin Huai was furious: "You are not allowed to bully Yaoyao!"
Feng Ting was also angry: "You are not allowed to deduct my food expenses!"
"You," Si Xu glanced at Qin Huai and sneered, "If you don't want to waste Chen Yao's points, then just behave yourself and don't cause any trouble. As for you," he looked at Feng Ting and sneered, "you don't have any points to begin with. Treating you to a free meal is a courtesy we give our Xiling base, but it doesn't mean you can push your luck."
After choking one man and one zombie, Si Xu was satisfied: "This time, I'll deduct points. If you cause trouble again, I'll throw both of you out of the base."
Qin Huai curled his lips, lowered his head, and reached out to pull Shen Yao's sleeve.
Knowing that he was frightened by Si Xu's words, Shen Yao suppressed her laughter, touched the top of his head, and comforted him: "It's okay, I have points."
Qin Huai hummed twice and began to wonder whether he should go out on the mission with the special power team. He couldn't always let Yaoyao support him.
Unable to find anyone to comfort him, Feng Ting glared at Si Xu, walked out of the office angrily and headed towards the hospital gate.
"Hey, the wind has stopped!"
Hearing Jiang Ran calling his name, he walked faster as if in a fit of anger, leaving the girl far behind.
Holding Jiang Ran's hand, Si Xu said in a deep voice: "Don't bother with him, don't indulge him, he's a naughty child. The more you pamper him, the more disobedient he becomes."
Jiang Ran, who was about to chase the zombie, stopped and thought about it, still worried: "What if he runs out and bites people?"
"No." Si Xu was not worried at all. "He doesn't have the chance."
…
After coming out of the hospital, Feng stopped for three seconds, chose a random path, and strode out of the hospital.
Why would anyone coax a fool like Qin Huai?
He wanted to hide, and Jiang Ran would look for him all over the city but couldn't find him. She knew that she couldn't let Si Xu be mean to him in the future, and she had to coax him when he was angry!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zombie quickened his pace and plunged into the twilight.
…
By dinner time, Feng Ting still hadn't shown up, and Jiang Ran began to worry again.
"Si Xu, do you think Feng Ting has already left the base?"
She really didn't expect that the zombie was so fragile. After being scolded by Si Xu, he actually ran away from home and didn't even come back for dinner.
"No." Si Xu put down the book in his hand, "I just received news that he broke into the slums and was picked up by Qiao Qiao."
"Qiao, Qiao Qiao?" Jiang Ran was stunned. "You mean, he's with Xue Weixin now?"
"Yes." Si Xu said, "I'll tell Xue Weixin about his situation. Xue Weixin knows the limits."
Jiang Ran, who knew Xue Weixin quite well, nodded and said, "Then let him stay with Xue Weixin for a few days."
Although Feng Ting is transforming into a human, he has relatively few actual contacts with humans. To put it bluntly, he has no real experience of human life.
Staying in Xue Weixin's team allowed him to experience the daily life of an ordinary superpower team and deepen his understanding of human life.
…
Qiao Qiao didn't expect to pick up a "treasure" just by going out. She ruffled her hair and was speechless about her good luck.
"Why did he end up in the slums?" Seeing Qiao Qiao was about to pull a patch of her hair out, Lin You held her hand and asked curiously, "Qiao Yi said he's a zombie?"
Having learned Feng Ting's identity from Xue Weixin, Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly: "I went to look for my brother and saw him squatting at the entrance of the slums, looking stupid and foolish. I thought he had nowhere to go, so I picked him up. Who knew he was a pig pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!"
The girl felt very upset when she thought that she might bring danger to her teammates.
Lin You laughed: "I've already found it, there's no point in talking about it now."
She glanced at the kitchen: "He looks hungry. How about making him some fried rice?"
"Fried rice?" Qiao Qiao hesitated and whispered, "Do zombies eat this?"
"Didn't Professor Si say he eats everything?"
What Professor Si said is definitely correct.
After Qiao Qiao sent Lin You back to the room, she ran to the kitchen to make fried rice.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Qiao knocked on the office door, looking at both laughing and crying, carrying a bowl of fragrant fried rice.
Xue Weixin's special ability team has been cooperating with the base special ability team to clear the zombies in the snowy mountains recently, and most people are not in the apartment on weekdays.
When he opened the door and saw Qiao Qiao, Xue Weixin guessed it was because of the zombie in the living room: "What's wrong?"
"Captain, he said..." Qiao Qiao lowered her voice, wanting to cry but unable to, "He wants to eat braised pork."
She put three eggs in the fried rice, but he was picky about the food and insisted weakly that he wanted to eat the braised pork.
The team's supplies have clear usage methods and regulations. She can't just make braised pork whenever she wants.
Qiao Qiao was helpless and could only ask Xue Weixin for help.
"I thought it was a big deal..." Xue Weixin chuckled, "Cook whatever he wants to eat. The supplies he consumes can be converted into points and used to settle the bill with Professor Si."
Qiao Qiao: "..." Is this possible?
When Qiao Qiao heard that someone was paying for it, she no longer had any worries and happily went to make the braised pork.
…
The hungry Feng Ting was fed a plate of braised pork by the girl, and his depressed mood improved.
"You're a good person." He drank a glass of water and earnestly asked for repayment. "Whatever you want, I can satisfy you."
Qiao Qiao, who was cleaning the table, was stunned: "Me? I don't want anything..."
"No?" How could that be? Every human he had ever met, including Jiang Ran, had their own wishes.
"Ah." Suddenly asked what she wanted, Qiao Qiao couldn't remember for a moment. However, his tone was serious. Remembering his identity, Qiao Qiao sat down across from him. "Actually, like you, I was once a lab experiment. If I had to say what I wanted, it would be that this disaster would end soon."
"Hmm?" Feng Ting was puzzled. "Why?"
Shouldn't the experimental subjects imprisoned by humans in laboratories be more eager for this disaster to kill all humans?
"Because only after the disaster is over will I feel like seeing the outside world." Qiao Qiao smiled shyly. "My brother and I were sold to the laboratory when we were very young, and I've long forgotten what the outside world is like. If I really have to express a wish, it's that one day we can freely walk out of this base and go wherever we want."
In this end times, even if Si Xu is powerful, he cannot do whatever he wants, let alone others.
"As for me, if I can see the disaster end and go on a trip with my family and friends in my lifetime, I will be satisfied."
When survival is difficult, simple wishes sound more like a fantasy.
