Huo Antu was very confused. He didn't believe that the person he liked today was the person he disliked so much before.
He asked directly: "Are you Qiao Xuejun?"
Qiao Xuejun turned her head to look at him: "It's me, Professor Huo. What can I do for you?"
This person finally reacted. His reaction time was long enough and he had already told him his last name, Qiao.
"You are actually Qiao Xuejun." Huo Antu was confused when he heard Qiao Xuejun admit it herself.
He looked at her with complicated eyes.
Is this the country woman who made a bet with him? Yes, although he has never seen her, he has heard her voice before... The voice is so similar, why didn't he think of it that way?
No matter how you look at it, Qiao Xuejun's performance today doesn't seem like that kind of person.
The difference is really huge.
Was Xingtang wrong? But Xingtang would not lie to himself... So, was it a misunderstanding? It must be a misunderstanding.
Maybe we can find an opportunity to call the two together and clear up this misunderstanding.
Zhao Xian stood between Qiao Xuejun and Huo Antu, blocking their eye contact, and said to Huo Antu: "Professor Huo, the research institute on the top of the mountain has been saved. You have to go up and count it yourself to see if there is anything missing. As for your assistant, the big ape found him on the road. He has a broken hand and needs to go to the base for treatment."
Huo Antu was still in great doubt and didn't hear what Zhao Xian said for a while. It was not until Zhao Xian told him that he could go up the mountain that he heard it clearly and reacted: "My assistant, his hand was broken?"
"He's not dead... that's good." Huo Antu added, "Lord, please ask the First Base to try to treat him. I can pay for all the medical expenses!"
This assistant was like his younger brother, his apprentice, and he personally raised him. If he died, he would take revenge at all costs. Fortunately, he survived.
He couldn't imagine whether his assistant would still be alive if the big ape had not split up with them and had not picked up his assistant.
Moreover, the reason why the great ape dared to make up his mind to split up with them was because Qiao Xuejun knew the way down the mountain to the patrol pavilion.
If it weren't for Qiao Xuejun, the big ape probably wouldn't have chosen to lure the monsters alone from another route, but would have taken him and the other survivors and forced his way down the mountain.
Huo Antu's eyes once again focused on Qiao Xuejun.
Zhao Xian blocked it again and said to Qiao Xuejun: "You have worked hard today, go back and rest first."
Qiao Xuejun wanted to stay and help, but Zhao Xian disagreed: "How can you help when you are so tired?"
Wang Juanfeng said, "I'm here, go back and rest quickly, your hands are like this."
Qiao Xuejun then noticed that her hands were still shaking slightly, and the base of her hands were rubbed to the point of bleeding, but it was not very obvious.
Zhao Xian: "I'll take you back."
Qiao Xuejun: "No need."
Zhao Xian: "Yes, let's go, Teacher Qiao. Your safety is very important to the First Base."
It is still half an hour's journey from here to Qingli Mountain where Qiao Xuejun is. It is completely dark now and there may still be escaped mutant creatures around, so it is not safe.
From any perspective, it is necessary to protect Qiao Xuejun's safety.
After what happened today, he was worried about leaving it to someone else.
Zhao Xian raised his hand and gestured: "Mountain Eagle, continue to handle it. Report any enemy situation at any time."
Ren Wangwang took a step forward: “Yes!”
Zhao Xian lowered his eyes to look at Qiao Xuejun, restrained and polite: "Can you walk? I'll carry you?"
Qiao Xuejun looked at Zhao Xian in surprise: "Is it true? I think it's possible..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw that Zhao Xian took it seriously and really reached out his hand. She quickly held Zhao Xian's hand and refused: "I'm just kidding, let's go."
Seeing that she really didn't need it, Zhao Xian withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go."
"Teacher Qiao, you still remember to report to me today. That's great. Next time you are in danger, remember to contact me."
The two were walking on the road, and when they were some distance away from the patrol booth, Zhao Xian suddenly spoke.
Qiao Xuejun looked calm and didn't understand what he said: "I know."
Zhao Xian: "Just know it."
Previously, when he was on the back of the white shark, he saw a walkie-talkie at the scene, but they did not contact him for help.
It is said that Shen Xingtang did not have time to adjust the frequency, but Qiao Xuejun's behavior was very intriguing - she had no intention of calling the police from beginning to end, and never thought of asking him for help.
At that time, Qiao Xuejun didn't trust him, but fortunately it's different now.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xian escorted Qiao Xuejun to the entrance of the shelter. Qiao Xuejun said goodbye to Zhao Xian: "You go and take care of it. I'm fine now."
Zhao Xian nodded: "Go in."
He stood at the door and watched Qiao Xuejun enter the shelter.
·
Qiao Xuejun didn't gain much in Group Three, so Zhao Xian originally planned to transfer her to Group Two. Group Two was also responsible for some tasks of fighting against mutant creatures, which were risky, but Wang Juanfeng was watching over Group Two.
But after thinking about it, he decided that instead of leaving the person with someone else, it would be better to keep him under his own nose. Besides, the places he was going to were all gathering areas for mutants, which overlapped with Qiao Xuejun's mission of finding green plants.
Doesn't she think that green plants, as a food source for mutants, are most likely growing in areas where those mutants gather?
When Zhao Xian mentioned this arrangement, Qiao Xuejun agreed without hesitation.
While following Zhao Xianshi, Qiao Xuejun did make some progress, such as being able to find complete, undigested mature plants in the mutant's stomach.
She has confirmed the existence of green plants and is still searching for where they grow.
But that was all. Qiao Xuejun's pumpkin had bloomed and she needed artificial pollination, so she decided not to go out with Zhao Xian and returned to the shelter to farm professionally.
Meanwhile, time passed, two months were up, and there were still 30 days left before the day when Qiao Xuejun and Professor Huo would make their bet.
The people who are most concerned about this matter are undoubtedly the people who placed the bet on the outcome.
Most of them bet on Professor Huo, so they cheer for Professor Huo every day in the Survivor Alliance channel.
"It's unbelievable that there are still people betting on that woman. Have you never heard of Professor Huo?"
"There are actually people who are betting a pack of cigarettes on that woman to win. With this hard currency, what can't she exchange for? Isn't this just throwing money away? When the result comes out, I will only give her a pack of cigarettes, and you don't have to give me anything else."
"I can't wait any longer."
“…”
Amid everyone's impatient anticipation, Qiao Xuejun came to Zhao Xian holding a bright yellow pumpkin flower.
Only the last two delivery verification steps are left.
"Lord, I'll give you some flowers. Do you think they're good enough?"
She handed the bright yellow flower, which bloomed exceptionally brightly, to Zhao Xian.
