Chapter 264 Bai Muran's Death
I can't let the zombie virus control my body!
I can't add to her troubles after I transform into a corpse!
This was Bai Muran’s final thought.
Ye Xin had just moved Meng Jinghan into the space when Bai Muran gritted his teeth and said, "I can't let it control my body!"
Then she heard a gunshot behind her and turned her head sharply.
Bai Muran pointed the gun at his head and pulled the trigger.
"No!" Ye Xin rushed over!
However, it's too late!
When Ye Xin arrived in front of him, wisps of green smoke were still coming out of the muzzle of the gun. Half of Bai Muran's head had been blown off, and his body slid softly to the ground, without any movement.
Meng Jinghan saw this scene as soon as he entered the space, and suddenly he felt like he was cast under a spell, standing there in a daze, mouth agape.
Ye Xin rushed forward and hugged Bai Muran's body, shouting: "Bai Muran! Bai Muran! Wake up for me!"
However, he could no longer utter a word.
Ye Xin's tears slid down her cheeks.
In a daze, she saw a man in military uniform fighting with a zombie. He was already covered in blood and was about to fall.
"Xuanxuan, wait a minute. Mom will go over there to help that uncle." Ye Xin let go of Xuanxuan's little hand and rushed forward with a long knife in her hand.
She gently put him on the ground: "Don't move. How long have you been fighting? You are exhausted! Come, drink some water first."
Ye Xin held the kettle to the man's mouth. The man drank two sips reluctantly, staring at Ye Xin's face with a grin: "Thank you! I'm fine..."
However, he tried several times but still couldn't stand up from the ground.
Ye Xin found a piece of wood, laid him flat on it, and together with Xuanxuan, they dragged him forward with difficulty.
The camera turned and the man had washed the blood off his face. He smiled at Ye Xin: "My name is Bai Muran, a soldier from the A701 base. Thank you for saving me."
The camera turned again, and he smiled and said to Ye Xin: "You are holding the gun in the wrong way, you should do it like this."
He put his arms around Ye Xin's body and covered her small hands with his hands: "Pull your shoulders back, don't stand straight when holding the gun, and lean your upper body forward slightly. Yes! That's it!"
"Then here, bend your elbows slightly. Yes! That's it! Remember this position now. Only in this way can you offset the recoil when firing the gun to the greatest extent. Hold on!"
Ye Xin turned her head slightly, and the man's tough and handsome face appeared in front of her. His eyes were bright and he smiled at her: "Try again, aim at the target."
"Bang!" The bullet was aimed at the target and Ye Xin hit the bull's eye for the first time.
She hugged the man excitedly and spun around: "I did it! I did it! I finally did it!"
The man smiled with his eyes crooked as he watched her running around excitedly.
The camera turns again, and the man packs his bags and is about to leave. He hugs her shoulders, bends down and says to her, "Wait for me to come back! I will take care of you for the rest of your life! You must wait for me to come back!"
With tears in her eyes, she nodded vigorously: "I will definitely wait for you to come back!"
The man turned around with a smile and waved to her: "Go back! It's cold here."
Watching the man's figure getting farther and farther away, Ye Xin's eyes were blurred with tears.
However, the man who said he would take care of her for the rest of her life never came back!
He never appeared in front of her again until she and her son were beaten to death.
Ye Xin struggled out of her memories, looking at Bai Muran in front of her, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.
"I finally know why you can't come back. Was it the same in your previous life? Did you sacrifice yourself to protect the people you wanted to protect?"
No one answered her.
She still held Bai Muran's body and shed tears: "I always thought that I had changed everything, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't change your fate."
"Bai Muran, if you were allowed to choose again, would you come back with me?"
Still no one answered her question.
Meng Jinghan walked to her side and took Bai Muran's body down from her arms: "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have refused the essence you gave me. If it weren't for me..."
Ye Xin shook her head: "No! You don't understand! It has nothing to do with you. This is his fate, a fate he cannot escape!"
Meng Jinghan gently placed Bai Muran's body on the ground, turned around and hugged Ye Xin's body, and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad, he is gone. But we still have to live well!"
Ye Xin pretended not to hear him and murmured to herself, "You don't understand. You don't understand what he means to me."
Meng Jinghan's heart sank suddenly.
Could it be that she has always liked him instead of herself?
So, she didn't refuse when the two of them had sex that time.
Was that because of her poisoning? Not because of love?
Meng Jinghan's heart ached so much that his face turned pale.
Through tears, she saw Meng Jinghan's face turn pale, and then she remembered Bai Muran's words: "Take Meng Jinghan in, don't let him turn into a corpse! He was also scratched by the zombies!"
Ye Xin suddenly woke up. Bai Muran was gone, but Meng Jinghan was still there! He was also scratched by the zombies!
After Bai Muran was scratched, she took him into the space, but Meng Jinghan has been fighting with zombies outside. How is he now?
Ye Xin suddenly grabbed Meng Jinghan's hand and said hurriedly: "Your injury! Let me see your injury! How do you feel? Let me see it quickly!"
The Mid-Mountain Base had always been supported by Meng Jinghan and Bai Muran. Ye Xin had always treated them as her family members. Now that one of them had suddenly been lost, Ye Xin was too afraid of losing the other as well.
Meng Jinghan grabbed Ye Xin's hands and said to her firmly, "Ye Xin, wake up! Relax, relax! You're hurting me."
Ye Xin then withdrew her hand, stared into Meng Jinghan's eyes and asked, "You were also scratched by a zombie? How are you? How do you feel?"
Meng Jinghan rolled up his sleeves and revealed the wound: "Look, I'm fine! I just had a little skin break, but he found it in time and injected me with essence. Now I'm fine, really fine!"
Ye Xin looked at Meng Jinghan's arm.
indeed!
After his clothes were torn, the zombie's sharp claws just managed to grab Meng Jinghan's skin. Because he suddenly retracted his body, he did not suffer serious injuries.
Now, not only did he show no signs of transformation, but even the wounds had healed and were no longer visible.
Ye Xin finally felt relieved: "Fortunately you are okay! Bai Muran..."
Tears flowed down my cheeks again.
Meng Jinghan reached out to wipe her tears and comforted her softly, "He didn't want to implicate us. He knew that if he turned into a zombie, we wouldn't be able to kill him, so he killed himself before he completely transformed."
"He wants you to live a better life! Ye Xin, be strong and don't let him down."
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't rejected your essence, if I had paid more attention to him, maybe he wouldn't have..."
The scene of Bai Muran driving an armored vehicle across the valley still remains in Meng Jinghan's mind. That was the first time he saw the fighting side of this man.
She admired his skills, his wisdom, his courage and his knowledge.
However, this person seemed to have some special feelings towards Ye Xin.
He had always been narrow-minded and thought that he was going to snatch Ye Xin from himself, but he never expected that at the critical moment, he saved himself but gave up his life!
Meng Jinghan grew up in a world of intrigue and deception. He had never been truly sincere to anyone before, nor had he ever been moved by anyone. Bai Muran was the first!
He gently hugged Bai Muran's body and said to him softly: "Don't worry, I, Meng Jinghan, swear on my life that I will use my life to protect her safety, for the rest of my life!"
"If there is an afterlife, I hope we can meet again. I will repay you for what I owe you!"
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, he seemed to see Bai Muran smile, and his whole body completely softened.
