Qiao Xuejun said, "Thank you, Lord Zhao..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she found her throat was a little dry and her voice was hoarse. She pursed her lips, but found that her lips were not as dry and chapped as expected.
Zhao Xian picked up the cup again and asked her, "Would you like some more?"
Qiao Xuejun realized that Zhao Xian had just fed her water. How could she be so embarrassed to bother Zhao Xian to feed her water? She wanted to raise her hand to take the water and drink it herself, but she realized something was wrong with her as soon as she moved her fingers.
Her arms were wrapped in several bandages and it hurt when she moved.
Seeing Qiao Xuejun's face wrinkled in pain, Zhao Xian said, "Don't be stubborn. If you want to drink, I'll feed you."
Qiao Xuejun said against her will: "No, no. I'm not thirsty."
Zhao Xian stared at her, scooped a spoonful of water with a spoon, and put it to her lips: "Open your mouth."
He said, "Forgot? You're lying, I can tell."
Qiao Xuejun: “…”
He honestly took a sip of the spoonful of water that Zhao Xian handed over to him. It was warm and very comfortable.
"Thank you." She thanked again.
Zhao Xian finished feeding her a glass of water: "Do you want to drink more?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "That's enough."
But shaking my head hurt, so I only shook it halfway.
Seeing that she was really fed up, Zhao Xian put down the cup and spoon and said, "Don't move. You are covered in wounds. Tell me what happened after you went out yesterday. How did you encounter the great white shark? How did the great white shark appear? How was the beast tide formed?"
The great white shark is an anomaly, and the gathering of so many mutant creatures is even more abnormal.
Qiao Xuejun hesitated for a moment and told the truth: "The great white shark was brought by Shen Xingtang. Because of some conflicts, she wanted to kill me. Later, I reached an agreement with her by sending her food. She would not kill me, and I would send her food. The beast tide..."
Qiao Xuejun paused and continued, "She crossed my bottom line. I sprinkled the bag of fish powder and attracted all the mutant creatures around to attack the great white shark."
Therefore, the direct cause of the tragic situation in the end was that she sprinkled the fish powder, which triggered the beast tide.
It was almost a reckless move.
Zhao Xian was obviously a little surprised, but after a moment of silence, she did not continue to investigate how Shen Xingtang had crossed her bottom line, and why she had to spread fish powder, but found the most fundamental reason: "Did she bring the great white shark over?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes."
She still didn't mention the system. If she did, it would make the whole story seem unreliable.
If there is a chance later, she will tell Zhao Xian, but now is not the right time. She doesn't know whether Zhao Xian will believe in the existence of the system, what his reaction will be if he believes in it, and what his reaction will be if he doesn't believe in it.
Besides, this is a book, and in this book, Zhao Xian is a villain.
So Qiao Xuejun only said the part that could be said. She only concealed the system and told everything else truthfully.
Zhao Xian: "I will go find Shen Xingtang."
"You'd better stay away from her." Qiao Xuejun blurted out.
Zhao Xian: “Hmm?”
Qiao Xuejun explained: "I, I mean, she is a little weird. She is very strange to be able to control a great white shark. You have to be careful. Don't fall into her trap."
In fact, she remembered the part of the plot about Zhao Xian that the system introduced to her. Zhao Xian would kill the male protagonist Huo Antu because he couldn't stand his behavior and opposed his human experiments.
The two people died together, but in fact only Zhao Xian died. Huo Antu would be resurrected by Shen Xingtang. The two of them established a powerful base, sheltered everyone, became great lords, and lived happily together like a prince and princess from then on.
Zhao Xian? His ashes are cold.
For the first time, Qiao Xuejun felt strongly disgusted with such an ending.
Kill Zhao Xian?
How on earth are they a match?
Qiao Xuejun admitted that Zhao Xianren was really nice. He cared about whether the people in the base had enough to eat. He even worried about what the 7th base had to eat. He would arrange patrols and clear all dangers one by one. He was also very straightforward and reasonable in transactions.
As long as he can see it, he will take care of it.
Whether it was Shen Xingtang's 7th Base or Qiao Xuejun's 4-person survival team, he registered them all and cared about their survival status.
Moreover, in this great white shark incident, he could have chosen to sit back and wait for the opportunity to take advantage, but he intervened to save her and Shen Xingtang.
It is right for such a person to become a great lord.
But his ending in the book is death.
So Qiao Xuejun subconsciously wanted Zhao Xian to stay away from Shen Xingtang. She was afraid that he would become unhappy if he got close to Shen Xingtang.
Zhao Xian: "Your doctor partner came to see you yesterday. She just left and said she brought something back for you."
Qiao Xuejun: "Is it Doctor Wang?"
Zhao Xian nodded: "Yes."
Qiao Xuejun: "I am now..."
She looked around the strange room. This was not her bedroom.
Zhao Xian: "First base. My house."
Qiao Xuejun opened her eyes wide.
Zhao Xian's room? Why is it Zhao Xian's room? She thought that even if he was not sent home, it would be a place like the infirmary in the First Base.
Zhao Xian: "There are no beds in the infirmary."
Qiao Xuejun calmed down a little and asked, "What were the casualties yesterday? How did you deal with the beast tide?"
Zhao Xian: "The 100 liters of blue oil you requested is almost here."
He elaborated: "We used 50 kilograms of fish powder to lure those things into a pit of quicklime water and burn them. After a few days, we fished them out and dissected the bodies to extract the oil."
Qiao Xuejun's eyes lit up: "No bullets were wasted. No soldiers were killed or injured."
Two people were injured, but Zhao Xian didn't tell Qiao Xuejun.
He just said: "Even if all the bullets are used to fight mutant creatures, what kind of waste is that?"
He said, "Isn't that what bullets are used for?" If they don't attack the mutant creatures, are they going to save them for attacking humans?
Qiao Xuejun was stunned. It seemed that this was the truth. It was not a waste if the bullet was used where it was supposed to be used. Was she being too stubborn before?
As a survivor within the protection range of the First Base, it was perfectly normal for Zhao Xian to rescue them. Next time she encountered such a thing, she should not be suspicious anymore. In addition to doing her best to save herself, she should also try to ask for help.
She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you go to rescue us yesterday because you knew Shen Xingtang was in danger?"
What if this rescue was just the heroine’s halo?
