Chapter 391, Guardian of Dawn (End of the Main Text)
Huo Lingyin didn't particularly care about Luo Rui.
Her understanding of the woman was limited to their brief time together at Beichen Base and what she heard from others about her complicated past with Jiang Ran.
What she did at the Yancheng base this time led to her current fate. After hearing this, Huo Lingyin had only one sentence to say to her: "You deserve it."
However, after hearing that Luo Rui had gone crazy, Huo Lingyin was briefly surprised, and then sighed more.
"For a man..." She shook her head, expressing her incomprehension. "What a waste of your talent."
Luo Rui has a good talent in superpowers, and her superpower level is higher than many superpower users in the major bases.
Without love, hatred, conspiracy and calculation, she could have become an excellent psychic and achieved some success in the base.
In the end, she became entangled with Jiang Ran for a man and ended up ruining her bright future...
Should we say she is infatuated or stupid?
Jiang Suxin can't stand girls who ruin themselves for men, especially when the man once wanted to kill her.
Hearing Huo Lingyin's comments, she smiled coldly: "That woman doesn't just love men, she also loves power."
She was sure that if she won the fight with Si Xu Jiang Ran, that woman wouldn't care even if Xie Chengzhi was gone.
She's crazy because she has nothing now.
Brother, lover, boss who promoted her, bright future...
"That's how power struggles work. If Si Xu had been the loser, he would be the one dead now," Jiang Su thought to herself. "Luo Rui lost and went crazy. She's pitiful, but she doesn't deserve sympathy."
"I don't sympathize with her." Huo Linyin raised a finger and shook it seriously, "I never sympathize with my enemies."
The conversation was almost over. The woman yawned and pointed at the tall figure in the distance: "His sister has gone crazy. Why don't you go and tell him this bad news?"
It's a joke to say - the Luo family had been searching for their daughter for so many years and finally found her. The eldest and second wives of the Luo family went out of the city to welcome her in tears. The old man arranged for people to go to the hospital every day. Finally, the family waited until their daughter woke up, but it turned out that their daughter went crazy.
Huo Lingyin: "Haha."
…
Knowing that his grandfather and parents were concerned about his sister, Luo Yuting did not tell his elders what Luo Rui had done. He only said that his sister was attacked by zombies on the way back and was seriously injured.
When he learned of Luo Rui's condition, his expression remained unchanged: "It's a good thing she's gone crazy."
Luo Rui is ambitious, capable, and a little clever. After being rescued this time, he originally planned to imprison her in Nanjun, but now, it has saved him a lot of trouble.
He thought so, but some people in the Luo family held different opinions from him.
"The hospital said Ruirui's legs are broken and she will have scars on her face and body."
The doctor injected the patient with a sedative, and the crazy patient finally fell asleep peacefully.
In the corridor, Mr. Luo's eyes were red, and he looked like he had shed a lot of tears for his crazy niece.
"Ruirui is a fifth-level wood-type mutant. What kind of zombie could bite her like this? And her legs, they're obviously not bitten by zombies, they're human!"
The eldest lady of the Luo family had finally managed to stop crying, but after hearing these words, she started to cry again.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed quietly.
The Luo family's master supported his wife and looked at Luo Yuting, saying softly, "Ting'er, how did Ruirui get injured? And who is this Chengzhi she keeps yelling about?"
Luo Yuting stood against the wall without even raising his eyelids: "Xie Chengzhi was her boyfriend. He died protecting her during the zombie siege."
"Ah." Madam Luo wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked, "No wonder this child..." He lost his life to protect her. It must be an unforgettable relationship.
Mr. Luo frowned: "What's wrong with her legs?"
Luo Yuting said: "If you lose the fight for power, you will always have to pay a price."
"Huh?" Second Master Luo slammed the wall and shouted angrily, "Let our daughter of the Luo family pay the price? I want to see who has such courage!"
"Uncle, if I tell you who that person is, will you go and find him to avenge his life?" Luo Yuting glanced at the indignant Second Master Luo. "Are you going to break that man's legs just for your crazy niece?"
When he asked this, Mr. Luo hesitated.
He was just pretending, his main purpose being to stir up conflict between the Luo family's eldest branch and outsiders, but he never intended to get himself involved.
As soon as he hesitated, Luo Yuting laughed: "Oh, I was asking too much of Second Uncle - the person who injured Luo Rui's legs is someone our Luo family can't afford to offend. Second Uncle knows who the Luo family can't afford to offend."
After he finished speaking, he nodded to the elders, said a few words to the doctor, and left the hospital.
The three remaining elders of the Luo family stood there, looking at each other in embarrassment.
Someone the Luo family couldn't afford to offend... In this world, there weren't many people the Luo family couldn't afford to offend; they could be counted on one hand. But even if they could be counted, what did it matter? They'd already said they couldn't afford to offend him, so could they really go looking for trouble with him just for a long-lost daughter?
…
Upon learning that Mr. Tu Su had put the reagent into use, Jiang Ran excitedly ran to the city wall holding his own.
There were zombies wandering around outside the city wall, scattered here and there, their movements clumsy and slow.
The girl stood on the city wall and took out a telescope to look around.
A vast expanse of grass and soil.
There are no zombie waves, no mutated zombies...
Jiang Ran blinked and sighed regretfully.
"Hey!" Someone called her name loudly from the foot of the city wall. "What are you looking at there?"
Xue Weixin's team passed under the city wall, and Qiao Yi, who was mixed in to gain experience, was the first to see Jiang Ran on the city wall.
Seeing his little cook again, Feng Ting rushed up the city wall, grabbed Jiang Ran's arm, and said angrily: "I ran away from home, why didn't you come to find me? You don't care about me at all!"
He waited for her in the apartment for several days, but she didn't care about his running away from home!
"I've been looking for you." Jiang Ran freed her arm from his grasp and answered patiently, "I know you're with Captain Xue. Everyone's hanging out with you. Qiao Qiao's a great cook, so I'm relieved. I pay for your food, clothing, and other expenses, so how could I not care about you?"
Oh, so she knew, so she didn't stop caring about him. Instantly appeased, Feng Ting whined, "Will you continue to pay?"
If she doesn't pay, will Qiao Qiao stop cooking for him?
Jiang Ran: "..." The child has grown up and become successful, but he only cares about her money!
She muttered, "I want my money back. Go and earn it yourself. If you can't earn it, I'll starve you to death."
Feng Ting didn't hear what she muttered: "Will you still pay?"
Jiang Ran patted him impatiently: "Yes, yes, go away!"
Feng Ting took two steps back to avoid her slap, just as Qiao Yi popped up: "Sister Ranran, what are you doing here? Are you waiting for Professor Si?"
Professor Si went to Beichen Base. When the news came, everyone in the base was talking about it, saying that the successful development of the virus vaccine must be related to Professor Si... After all, the reagents were put into use not long after he went to Beichen Base.
Jiang Ran shook the glass test tube in his hand: "This can be used now, I'm going to throw it down."
Like the virus, the reagent left by Jiang Yize is also transmitted through the air. After it comes into contact with the zombies, it can kill the viruses in the zombies' bodies.
"This..." Qiao Yi asked tentatively, "Is this the thing that succeeded at Beichen Base?"
"yes."
Qiao Yi smacked his lips: "Why don't you throw it out?!"
Aren't there a few zombies wandering around down there? Throw them down and poison them.
Jiang Ran hesitated: "I want to experience the thrill of killing monsters with one click."
"One-click monster spawn?" Qiao Yi was puzzled. "What is that?"
Jiang Ran described it this way: "It's just a bunch of zombies gathered together, and then you throw this out, poisoning them all to death - the enemies fall down in front of you, it's so cool just thinking about it~"
Qiao Yi imagined the scene and thought... it was really cool.
"But there are only these few zombies now."
As soon as they finished speaking, they remembered something and looked at Feng Ting, who had a confused look on his face.
Being stared at by the two men, Feng Ting said: "..."
…
The zombie corpses on Xiling Snow Mountain were finally cleared, and Shen Yang gave the base's special power team a holiday, a rare early shift.
However, before he could leave the office building, Zhong Qian rushed in from outside, wanting to cry but unable to: "Captain, please go and take care of Miss Jiang!"
Shen Yang raised his eyebrows: "What did she do?"
"She brought Feng Ting and Qin Huai with her and gathered a bunch of zombies outside the city gate. The patrolling supernatural team almost thought a zombie wave was coming..." Zhong Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and rambled on. "I don't know what Miss Jiang is trying to do, but now Qin Huai and Feng Ting are fighting on the city wall, and the zombies they brought are also fighting outside the city gate. In short, the city is in chaos now."
Before Zhong Qian could finish, Shen Yang walked towards the city with a gloomy face.
…
A group of onlookers gathered on the city wall, watching the zombie fight outside with great interest.
After finally separating Qin Huai and Feng Ting, Jiang Ran exploded: "Si Xu told me last time that if you two fight again, I'll throw you out!"
Shen Yao pulled Qin Huai and said helplessly: "I will teach him a lesson."
Qiao Qiao stopped trembling and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Ranran."
Jiang Ran glared at the two of them fiercely again before turning to look outside the city.
Now that's what happened - because the commander was fighting, the zombies outside also joined in the fight. It looked weird and funny, with no sense of crisis at all.
Jiang Ran sighed and threw the test tube out of the city.
Qiao Yi: "You went to so much trouble to get so many zombies, why don't you hold a ceremony before throwing them away?"
Jiang Ran: "Get lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, the test tube he threw down was caught in the mouth of a zombie.
Jiang Ran: “…” What the hell?
Qiao Yi: "...Fuck!"
Onlookers: “…”
Fortunately, the zombie caught it and bit through the test tube, then fell to the ground. As the glass shards flew, the fighting zombies fell like dominoes.
Qiao Yi murmured: "This visual effect is really good."
After experiencing the one-click monster spawning, Jiang Ran clapped his hands: "Alright, alright, there's only this one tube of reagent left. Throw it away. There's no more. Everyone, let's go after watching the show..."
"Jiang Ran!"
After a roar, everyone saw General Shen from Xiling Base rushing up the city wall.
He looked at the crowd, then at the zombies lying on the ground outside the city wall, and slapped his sister on the back of the head: "Look at what you did?!"
Jiang Ran covered his head, aggrieved: "I just threw the reagent away..."
"Just throw it away if you want. Why did you bring so many zombies here?" Shen Yang continued to pat her. "Let me ask you, who will clean up these corpses? Are you going to clean them up? Huh?!"
Jiang Ran: “…”
She was speechless, turned around and ran, apologizing as she ran: "I'm sorry, brother! I know I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!"
Shen Yang chased her and hit her: "Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake? Stop right there!"
…
After Professor Si returned to Xiling Base from Beichen Base, he was greeted not by flowers and applause, but by his girlfriend's pitiful pleading.
"Professor Si, I was wrong. Big Brother wants to put me in solitary confinement. Please help me..." His little girl grabbed his sleeve and apologized with tears and snot. "I didn't mean to do that. I was so happy at the time that I didn't think too much about it... wuwuwu!"
Si Xu: “…”
He felt that Jiang Ran's IQ seemed to have deteriorated a lot recently - she had completely failed to consider this situation, which would have been impossible in the past.
"Jiang Ran." Si Xu said seriously, "Are you pregnant?"
"Uh?" The topic changed so quickly that Si Xu's sudden question stunned Jiang Ran. "Pregnant?"
She's pregnant? How come she doesn't know?
She was confused and Si Xu put one hand on the top of her head, rubbed it, and comforted her: "It's okay, we will go for a check-up tomorrow."
Jiang Ran came back to her senses: "I'm not pregnant!"
After saying this, she felt inexplicably guilty: Her period was indeed postponed for two weeks, but her period was never very regular... Could it be that she was really infected?
She...she's only 21! She's still a child! What a joke!
Jiang Ran's eyes turned dark and she hung on Si Xu's arm without saying a word.
Her reaction immediately confirmed Si Xu's guess. The man thought about it and didn't wait until the next day, so he dragged Jiang Ran to the hospital.
"What are you doing?!" Jiang Ran refused to go.
Si Xu simply picked the person up and said, "Check, Jiang Ran, I'm worried about you."
"What's there to worry about!" Jiang Ran struggled, "I'm healthy! I don't want to go to the hospital!"
If she was really pregnant...she would rather go to the gate and carry the zombie corpses!
…
"Not pregnant."
Because it was Professor Si's request, the test results came out very quickly.
The doctor pushed up his glasses and told the test results with a stern face.
"Professor Si, Miss Jiang soaked in the lake last winter. The cold air invaded her and it's difficult for her to conceive. She needs to take good care of herself, otherwise..."
Si Xuru was struck by lightning, and after coming out of the hospital, he was still in a dazed state.
"Si Xu..." Jiang Ran tugged at his sleeve, "Are you okay?"
He seemed to be devastated that she wasn't pregnant?
Because she was not prepared to be a mother, she was not disappointed when she found out she was not pregnant. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she saw Si Xu like this, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Si Xu, don't be sad. In the future, I will definitely..."
"Jiang Ran." Si Xu suddenly clasped her wrist tightly, his peach blossom eyes dark as he murmured, "I didn't raise you well."
Jiang Ran: "Ah?"
"I didn't raise you well."
After Jiang Ran came to him, Gu Yunqing told him that women are fragile creatures and need to be taken care of carefully. If they are not taken care of properly, they will easily die.
At that time, he was absolutely confident in his intelligence and strength and did not think that raising Jiang Ran was a difficult task for him.
Moreover, Jiang Ran is very easy to raise. He is not picky about food, not pretentious, not artificial, smart, sensible, well-behaved and obedient...
He thought he had raised Jiang Ran very well.
The result was just what he thought!
The doctor said that Jiang Ran’s poor health might affect his normal life in the future. Although it didn’t matter to him whether he had children or not, whether or not to have children and whether or not to have children were two completely different feelings, especially for women!
"Jiang Ran..." The corners of his mouth curled down slightly, "I didn't raise you well."
"Si Xu, what are you doing?" Jiang Ran didn't expect him to take the blame on her. She held his face and said word by word, "When I was soaking in cold water, I wasn't by your side!"
The doctor was probably talking about the time when Jiang Ranran fell into the lake while leading the zombies away for the team.
"That time, you hadn't started to support me yet. Have you forgotten?" Jiang Ran changed her hands from cupping to pinching, and applied force to her fingertips. Seeing the man frown, she chuckled, "That time, you saved me. Have you forgotten?"
Si Xu pursed his lips and did not answer.
"Didn't the doctor say that if you take good care of yourself you'll be fine? Don't be so nervous."
“…”
"Si Xu, if I can't have a baby in the future, will you not like me anymore?"
He retorted: "I will always like you."
"That's all." Jiang Ran patted his face, tilted her head back and kissed his cheek. "As long as I have you, I don't care about anything else."
“…”
"Really. Besides, the world isn't very friendly to newborns these days, and I don't have the confidence to raise a child well... Si Xu, let's wait a little longer, until the world becomes completely better, then we can consider this matter, okay?"
"……good."
Si Xu was reluctantly appeased.
He held her in his arms and kissed her gently.
"Jiang Ran, I will take good care of you in the future." I will take good care of you for the rest of my life.
…
All the zombies that Miss Jiang led out of the city were cleared out overnight. After asking Shen Shuai, she found out that it was Professor Si who used his spatial ability to move them away all at once.
The psychics who were ready to continue transporting the zombies were almost clapping and cheering, and at the same time lamenting the abnormality of the high-level space-based psychics.
After the four major bases cleared the surrounding hazards, they sent out special power teams to hunt zombies.
The zombie cleansing operation officially begins.
…
When Chen Yao came out of the hospital ward, she happened to meet Qian Miaomiao who came for a second examination.
The girl did not experience any abnormalities after being bitten by Feng Ting, but Qian Duoduo was worried about her sister's health, so she sent her to the hospital for examination.
"Yaoyao!" Qian Miaomiao held her little sister's hand and glanced at the ward. "Is Boss Qin feeling better?"
Some time ago, Qin Huai went out to hunt zombies with the superpower team without telling Chen Yao, but he accidentally fell into the water and has been running a high fever for the past few days.
Shen Yao sighed: "The body temperature has dropped a little."
"That's good." Even though Qin Huai's mind had become that of a child, Qian Miaomiao still maintained awe of him. "Just focus on taking care of Boss Qin. I'll get you some fruit."
"No need." Shen Yao stopped her, "My second brother sent some over, and I haven't finished it yet."
The two girls chatted for a while, and then a faint call from the young man came from the ward. Shen Yao and Qian Miaomiao said goodbye and returned to the ward.
"..." Seeing her, a strange look flashed in the young man's light golden eyes, "Yaoyao?"
"Are you awake?" Shen Yao sat down on the bedside, putting the back of her hand on his forehead. "You're sweating. Do you want to take a shower? I'll run the water for you."
"Let the water flow?" Qin Huai blinked with a playful smile in his eyes, "Yaoyao, do you want to take a bath with me?"
Not noticing the abnormality in his tone, Shen Yao was annoyed: "What else? Didn't you almost choke yourself to death in the bathroom last time?"
Qin Huai: "..." After a brief moment of shock, he murmured, "Am I so stupid?"
Huh? Shen Yao finally noticed the change in his tone.
She stared at him.
Noticing her gaze, Qin Huai held his chin with one hand, looking like a delicate little white flower ready to be picked by you.
After making sure she was not mistaken, Shen Yao took a deep breath: "Qin Huai, have you recovered your memory?"
Qin Huai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yaoyao, I don't understand what you are saying."
Chen Yao was furious: "Qin Huai! Don't try to lie to me! You must have recovered your memory..."
"Shh..." Putting his finger on the girl's lips, Qin Huai glanced at the door that was not completely closed, "Yaoyao, you are so loud, others will think we are arguing~"
Shen Yao glared at him.
Then, under her angry gaze, the man suddenly moved closer.
He cupped the back of her neck, leaned forward and bit her lip.
Chen Yao: “……!”
The tentative kiss was not a superficial one. After making sure that the girl was not opposed, the young man directly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Yaoyao, I've wanted this a long time ago..." He pried open her lips and teeth, swallowing a vague sigh, "I wanted it like this..."
…
Shen Yang stopped silently at the door of the ward and did not push the door open.
Behind him, Tao Luyi silently reached out and gently closed the door that was not closed.
Young people nowadays really don’t care about their image… The girl sighed and raised her hand to fan her cheeks.
Shen Yang looked at her: "Is it hot?"
Tao Luyi's cheeks turned even redder and she shook her head in embarrassment.
The two walked out side by side.
Shen Yang originally came to visit his former partner, but who knew... seeing such an ambiguous scene, he was too lazy to go in and disturb the two of them.
Walking out of the hospital, he looked up at the towering city walls in the distance.
Tao Luyi followed his gaze: Professor Si and Ranran have been out hunting zombies for more than a month, and no one knows when they will be back.
…
In the early morning, thick clouds piled up in the east, blocking the rising sun and making the sky foggy.
The modified off-road vehicle sped across the wilderness, approaching a group of zombies in front.
In places where the reagents have not yet spread, zombies and zombie beasts are still wandering around.
This was the third wave of zombies they encountered on this trip.
Jiang Ran loaded her gun and waited for Si Xu to adjust the speed of the car. She leaned out of the sunroof and was about to shoot when a convoy suddenly rushed out from the side, and a bunch of dazzling superpowers rushed towards the group of zombies.
After the supernatural power dissipated, only a pile of corpses remained on the ground.
Jiang Ran: "..." Do you guys understand the joy of hunting?!
Si Xu stepped on the brakes.
The opposite special power team also stopped the car.
The door of the front Porsche opened, and a long leg stretched out.
Jiang Ran muttered: "Oh, what a narrow road for enemies to cross."
The long-legged owner got out of the car, fiddling with her coquettish curly hair, and shouted, "Jiang Ran! Get down and clean up the zombies!"
Jiang Ran responded: "These zombies were all killed by your team! Huo Lingyin, clean up on your own!"
Huo Lingyin walked towards her: "Get down here!"
Jiang Ran said to her: "No!"
Before the woman could get close, Si Xu stepped on the accelerator again, the car swung its tail, and sped away, the dust raised up covered the woman's face.
Even after driving a long way, the two could still hear the roar behind them.
"Jiang Ran! Si Xu! Just wait for me!"
Jiang Ran curled up in a ball in the passenger seat, laughing so hard. She felt that Si Xu understood her feelings, so she leaned over and kissed the man on the cheek.
"Si Xu, where are we going next?"
"Let's go east," Si Xu said. "I heard that on the icy plains in the northeast, there are lotus flowers that only bloom after a hundred years."
"Okay, let's go see the lotus!" Jiang Ran took out the map and began to plan the route.
Si Xu glanced at the map and turned the steering wheel to change direction.
The first sun broke through the clouds, and the hazy light fell on the ground, coating everything with a light golden coat.
There were three or two zombies wandering on the roadside ahead. Jiang Ran stood up, drew his gun, and shot them in the head one after another.
The zombies fell and the off-road vehicle roared past.
"Si Xu, aren't you going to clean up the body?"
"It's just a few, that's okay."
Battered by wind and sun, they turn into ashes and are buried underground. They will become part of this new world and, like all living people, guard the dawn that has already arrived.
