Chapter 75 Xuanyuan Aotian Meets Zheng Shi
Yang Luoliu had come into contact with soldiers after the end of the world, and by looking at the rank on his shoulder he knew that this man was a second lieutenant.
"Everyone will stop in one minute and keep track of the time."
Yang Luoliu took out the walkie-talkie and spoke without thinking. After he finished speaking, he put the walkie-talkie down, stopped the car at the right time, and got out of the car.
Lin Haihua and the other man saw Yang Luoliu in the car from a distance, and when they saw her get out, they went to greet her.
The two of them came up and saluted Yang Luoliu and his group. After all, this was their territory, so Yang Luoliu and his group returned the salute.
Lin Haihua then began to introduce himself.
"This is Second Lieutenant Zhang from our base."
As soon as Lin Haihua introduced Lieutenant Zhang, he spoke directly and extended his hand to shake hands with Yang Luoliu.
"Hello, Miss Yang, I've heard a lot about you."
Yang Luoliu didn't hesitate and naturally extended her hand to shake hands with Lieutenant Zhang.
"I've long heard of Second Lieutenant Zhang."
Although Yang Luoliu had never heard of this man's name, as a businessman, Yang Luoliu knew how to say some polite words.
Both of them smiled slightly. Lieutenant Zhang looked at Yang Luoliu with admiration, while Yang Luoliu looked at Lieutenant Zhang very naturally. The whole scene was very harmonious for a while.
Because he was a soldier and was wearing a military uniform, Lieutenant Zhang gave people a strong sense of oppression just by standing there.
But even facing such an oppressive person, Yang Luoliu was not at all nervous, and because he had been through many battles, the aura he exuded was not inferior to that of Lieutenant Zhang.
The two men's hands touched and then separated, but it was Lieutenant Zhang who spoke.
"If Miss Yang doesn't mind, you can call me Brother Zhang."
After all, in the end times, no one wants to make enemies with powerful people.
"Okay, if you don't mind, Brother Zhang, you can call me Luo Liu."
When faced with the goodwill of those who serve the people, Yang Luoliu would not give face to them.
When Zhang Xin heard this, his face, which had been tense all morning, finally smiled.
"Okay, since Luo Liu is here, there's no need to go back so quickly. Let's take a look around the city first."
As they walked, Zhang Xin gestured to Yang Luoliu to go into the base.
Seeing this, Yang Luoliu also extended her hand to signal for them to go together. The two of them walked forward, and Lin Haihua arranged for Ye Yiyi, Li Wanwan and the others to follow behind Yang Luoliu.
"Everyone, please come in and take a look. The car is guarded by our people and no one dares to touch it."
Seeing Lin Haihua said this, the others didn't fail to understand and just relaxed after traveling for half an hour.
Only when you actually enter the base will you understand what big means.
Behind the wall are various high-rise buildings. Under the buildings are various snack shops, clothing stores, as well as shops selling vegetables and fruits. The streets are busy with traffic and people walking together and chatting happily.
If it weren't for the dilapidated walls and overgrown streets before coming here, the current prosperous scene wouldn't have any signs of doomsday.
Everyone in the group stared with their eyes wide open, except Yang Luoliu, whose expression remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Zhang Xin curled his lips and began to introduce the surrounding facilities one by one.
"Everything you see today took us six months to build. The entire base covers a relatively small area, only about 200,000 square meters."
After hearing this, Yang Luoliu just gave a polite compliment. It was not known whether Zhang Xin really could not hear Yang Luoliu's perfunctory answer or he heard it but did not take it seriously.
The group spent the entire morning wandering around the base, visiting every part of it, even the production base.
It has to be said that everyone on this trip lamented that the conditions of the base were far better than their own bases. If someone invited them to move into this base now, they would agree without thinking twice.
Only Yang Luoliu remained calm throughout the entire process, until the last stop, a makeshift prison.
Zhang Xin's original purpose was to take the group to watch the entire process. After all, he had a mission, or in other words, he wanted to take Yang Luoliu to watch the entire process, and the people behind him didn't matter.
There was nothing interesting to see in the prison, after all, all the people imprisoned there were from the last resort.
When the group was about to leave, a man suddenly rushed out from inside. He was very fast, but even faster than him was Yang Luoliu.
The main thing was that the black shadow had no idea where to rush, but rushed towards Ye Yiyi. Although Yang Luoliu was walking in front with Zhang Xin, his eyes were always on Ye Yiyi.
So before the black shadow reached Ye Yiyi, Yang Luoliu kicked it away with a flying kick, and then quickly walked to Ye Yiyi and looked at her nervously.
"Are you okay?"
It was not until Yang Luoliu spoke that Ye Yiyi realized what had happened. Mainly because it happened too quickly and ended too quickly that Ye Yiyi didn't feel anything at all.
But seeing Yang Luoliu's nervous expression, Ye Yiyi pulled her hand out of Yang Luoliu's hand with a bit of amusement.
"It's okay, sis."
Yang Luoliu was stunned for a moment when he saw the hand being pulled away from him, and then he curled the corners of his mouth towards Ye Yiyi.
Then his face turned cold and he stared at the person who was suppressed after being kicked away.
When Yang Luoliu looked closely, it turned out to be a familiar face. Who else could it be but Zheng Shi?
Yang Luoliu's face turned cold and he was about to take two steps forward when he saw that Xuanyuan Aotian's pace was even faster than his.
He just stood in front of Zheng Shi. Zheng Shi, who was still struggling violently, stopped moving when he saw Xuanyuan Aotian and just stared at Xuanyuan Aotian.
I don’t know what’s in those eyes.
But in this scene, everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why this happened.
The only people who knew the whole story were Yang Luoliu and his group. Considering that Xuanyuan Aotian had said that Zheng Shi was the second person to follow Chen Jingyu, it seemed that the two had a deep connection.
Sure enough, Xuanyuan Aotian spoke before he had even looked for long.
"Can I talk to him?"
Although his eyes were looking at Zheng Shi, his words were actually addressed to Zhang Xin. After all, he was the only one who could make the decision here.
Zhang Xin obviously knew this, and considering the relationship with Yang Luoliu, Zhang Xin naturally agreed.
"Of course you can, but someone has to watch over it."
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Aotian moved his eyes away from Zheng Shi's face and spoke to Zhang Xin.
"Okay, but can we not have so many people?"
Zhang Xin wanted to say something when Yang Luoliu spoke.
"Brother Zhang, the kid just wants some answers. If it weren't for him, the whole army might have been wiped out."
After hearing what Yang Luoliu said, Zhang Xin had no reason to disagree. Besides, the matter with Chen Jingyu was already in the past, so he agreed.
Then he signaled his soldiers to lock Zheng Shi up.
Zheng Shi, who was originally struggling violently, was now quietly handcuffed and taken into the room behind him.
Xuanyuan Aotian followed Zheng Shi and his group inside with a blank expression.
Zhang Xin spoke only after the group had left.
"I'm glad you guys are here to watch the fun. I bet you're tired after walking for so long. Lunch is ready, please."
Yang Luoliu and his group were tired and hungry, so they naturally did not refuse Zhang Xin's words. They left the prison in a mighty manner.
Inside the prison, four or five burly men in military uniforms tied Zheng Shi to the load-bearing wall of the room with extremely thick iron chains.
The various broken stones scattered around showed what Zheng Shi had just done. After Zheng Shi was tied up, one person was left to guard the place, while the others went out.
After there were no more people around, Xuanyuan Aotian looked at Zheng Shi for a long time before speaking with a blank expression.
"Besides me, you're the only one who has followed Chen Jingyu the longest, and also the closest, I think."
Before Xuanyuan Aotian could finish speaking, Zheng Shi suddenly spoke.
"He's your teacher, is it okay for you to call him that?"
Hearing Zheng Shi say this, Xuanyuan Aotian laughed out loud as if he heard a very funny joke, and the whole space was filled with Xuanyuan Aotian's laughter.
Zheng Shi just looked at the elegant young man in front of him who was laughing wildly with an expressionless face. Even the big man behind Zheng Shi frowned when he saw this situation.
It took a long time for Xuanyuan Aotian to stop laughing. Perhaps it was because he laughed too much just now. After he stopped suddenly, Xuanyuan Aotian's face became expressionless again and he spoke coldly.
"Is he worthy of me calling him teacher?"
Words so bland that they were almost cold came out of Xuanyuan Aotian's mouth, and then the whole space became quiet again, and Zheng Shi did not speak again.
The two of them just stared at each other. Xuanyuan Aotian couldn't see the emotions in Zheng Shi's eyes, and Zheng Shi couldn't see Xuanyuan Aotian's either.
It was a long time, so long that Zheng Shi thought Xuanyuan Aotian would not ask why he left on his own, so he spoke.
"Why did he become like this?"
Xuanyuan Aotian didn't believe what the man did in his memory, and he didn't believe that his teacher was born a bad person.
Xuanyuan Aotian's tone was too calm, as calm as asking Zheng Shi if he had eaten today.
But after hearing this, Zheng Shi remained silent. Xuanyuan Aotian was not annoyed but just stood there stubbornly, neither leaving nor speaking.
After a long time, Zheng Shi spoke softly, his tone very light.
"Is there any point in asking these questions? What happened has happened, and the past is the past. Let's just leave it at that. Just think of him as a bad guy who just let himself go in this lawless apocalypse."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Aotian gave a normal smile, which seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and what he said was indeed true.
"You must not know how good he is to say that. You must not know."
After hearing this, Zheng Shi suddenly looked at Xuanyuan Aotian, but Xuanyuan Aotian didn't see him and continued talking to himself.
"You don't know, do you? I'm an orphan. Despite the fierce competition in the orphanage, I completed my studies and was admitted to Z City Medical University with special admission based on my talent for medicine. Just when I thought this school was different, filled with diligent and studious medical students, after all, they'll be working in medical-related fields when they enter society. They're the angels in white in people's eyes."
"But do you know? Even in such an academy, there's still bullying. Just because I'm an orphan, I have no one to support me, and they're jealous of my talent. Do you know how miserable I was during that time? Their torture methods were even more extreme than anything I've ever seen before."
Xuanyuan Aotian's voice became lower and lower, and he seemed to not want to recall what happened at that time.
When Zheng Shi heard this, his eyes trembled, but he still didn't say anything. After all, judging from Xuanyuan Aotian's expression, he probably hadn't finished what he was saying.
Sure enough, the room was quiet for a moment before Xuanyuan Aotian's voice rang out again.
"You know what? He showed up just when I was about to give up. At first, I thought he was pretending. After all, I've met quite a few people like him. They either wanted to use me to gain some good reputation or just because of my face. I'm used to it. It doesn't matter. No matter what their reason is, I can get real benefits."
"At first, I thought he was just better at disguising himself. But how could someone keep up a disguise for over half a year? You have no idea how good he is. Even during the perilous apocalypse, he, a Wood-type psychic, led three students who hadn't yet developed their powers. Even though it was so difficult, he never gave up on us. Why do you think that was?"
Having said that, Xuanyuan Aotian stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Shi's shoulders and stared into Zheng Shi's eyes.
"Why? Why didn't you abandon us from the beginning? Would you rather suffer the injustice yourself? I don't understand. I don't understand why it turned out like this. I, I just want an answer, just an answer."
As he spoke, a tear fell from the corner of Xuanyuan Aotian's eye.
"I had already given up, I had already numb myself, thinking he was just a bad guy. I didn't want to care about the past, but then you showed up, Zheng Shi. You must know the reason, right? Tell me, I just want a promise."
Looking at Xuanyuan Aotian who was already a little crazy, Zheng Shi pursed his lips and was even more reluctant to tell Xuanyuan Aotian.
"It's better if you don't know. You'll be devastated."
Zheng Shi spoke in a hoarse voice, and then just stared at Xuanyuan Aotian.
After hearing what Zheng Shi said, Xuanyuan Aotian just slowly put down his hand and looked at him with stubborn eyes.
After a while, Zheng Shi suddenly laughed, and this laugh stunned Xuanyuan Aotian, because he had never seen him laugh like this before.
In my memory, he always seemed serious, but it turns out he can laugh.
However, Zheng Shi didn't laugh for long. After just a few seconds, he started to smile and speak.
"Okay, I can tell you, but only you."
After saying this, he didn't say anything else, but looked at Xuanyuan Aotian in front of him with a slightly weird smile.
Just after Zheng Shi finished speaking, the big man behind him was about to step forward to speak, but Xuanyuan Aotian was faster than him. With a single slash of his hand, he fell straight to the ground.
After doing all these things, Xuanyuan Aotian still looked at Zheng Shi in front of him as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, I'm the only one who heard it."
Zheng Shi seemed to have not expected Xuanyuan Aotian to be like this. The smile on his face froze for a moment, but then the smile grew bigger and bigger.
"Don't regret it."
Xuanyuan Aotian ignored these words and just looked at Zheng Shi steadily, motioning him to continue.
Seeing Xuanyuan Aotian like this, Zheng Shi restrained his smile, looked him up and down before frowning and speaking slowly.
"You're right, he is indeed a good man, a good-for-nothing."
As if he had thought of something, Zheng Shi looked at Xuanyuan Aotian steadily after saying this.
"What is your impression of your two seniors?"
Xuanyuan Aotian didn't know why Zheng Shi asked this but he still spoke.
