Chapter 286 A Special Way of Saying Goodbye
"Xiao Zhao, I'm going to find Brother Qingyu. Do you want to come with me?"
Han Shuo stood up from his chair and casually asked a question.
Xiao Zhao was lying on the bed watching the fat guy play games, and he said without turning his head.
"Brother Han, you go ahead. I just visited Captain Qingyu before I went back to rest yesterday, so I won't go today."
"Oh, okay."
Han Shuo responded with a single sentence, then ignored the two of them and turned to walk out of the ward.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at Qingyu's residence.
At this time, Qingyu's soldiers had just returned from their shift and were resting in the living room.
Upon seeing Han Shuo enter, Zheng Deliang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Brother Han is here? Are you here to see the captain?"
Han Shuo smiled and nodded.
"The captain left half an hour ago. It seems he went to the training ground to spar with Sister-in-law Yu Qing."
"Oh? I see..."
Han Shuo let out a soft "hmm," thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Alright then, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll go find Brother Qingyu at the training ground."
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Han."
"Okay, goodbye, Brother Deliang."
After Xiao Zhao left the team, Zheng Deliang became the soldier with the best relationship with Han Shuo.
Almost every time he came over, Zheng Deliang would greet him with a smile, after all, Han Shuo was his savior.
...
After leaving the house, Han Shuo headed straight for the training ground that Qing Yu frequented.
A few minutes later, he spoke to the staff at the entrance and then pushed open the gate to the training ground.
His first glance fell upon the two people fighting in the center of the field ahead.
At this moment, Qingyu was on defense, while Yuqing was on offense.
"Oh? Sister-in-law Yu Qing is quite skilled too."
Han Shuo remembered that Yu Qing was a genetically evolved human at level 2.
Although he could tell that Qingyu was holding back, it was undeniable that Sister-in-law Yu Qing's fighting skills far surpassed those of the others.
With each punch and kick, one could feel its fierce power.
"As expected of someone in the military, a female general is in no way inferior to a man."
This was the first time Han Shuo had seen Yu Qing take action, and he sincerely admired this woman from the bottom of his heart.
Because he knew that for a woman in the army to have such skills, she must have put in several times more effort than other soldiers.
...
Half a minute later, Qingyu caught Yu Qing's whip kick with his backhand, and then the sparring stopped.
"Alright, that's enough fighting. Brother Han Shuo is here."
"good!"
The two stopped fighting and walked towards the sidelines.
Yu Qing picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then said goodbye to Qing Yu and turned to leave the training ground.
After she left, Qingyu wiped the sweat off her body and said with a smile.
"What brings you here today? What's up? Is something the matter?"
Han Shuo casually picked up a bottle of mineral water from the side and handed it over.
"Uh...bro, nothing much, just came to see you."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then continued.
"Brother Qingyu, we're preparing to leave this place in the next couple of days..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyu stopped what he was doing. He stood there for two seconds, then looked somewhat reluctant and said something.
"Yes, there's really no need for you to stay here and take risks."
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy. Both of them knew in their hearts that this farewell was different from the usual ones.
Because if the underground research institute cannot withstand the zombie king's attack.
Then, Qingyu will definitely die here as well.
This may be a farewell between life and death...
Soon, Qingyu smiled with relief, threw the towel aside, and shouted heartily.
"Come on, let me see how good you are now. Come here and fight me!"
"ah?"
Han Shuo was somewhat surprised. Usually, when he asked Qing Yu to spar with him, he was usually refused. Why was he suddenly being rejected today?
However, he didn't think much of it and just asked a question.
"Brother Qingyu, you just finished fighting, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No need, although I'm middle-aged, I'm not old yet!"
Qingyu waved his hand and continued speaking.
"I've been on defense the whole time, so I haven't used up too much energy. It's been a good warm-up. Come on over here!"
After he finished speaking, he walked straight toward the center of the training field.
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, then stopped dawdling, took the Tang sword from his waist and placed it aside before walking inside.
After taking her position, Qingyu turned around and asked a question.
"Don't you need to warm up a bit, kid?"
"No need, let's get started!"
Han Shuo had actually been itching to spar for a while, and this was the first time he had exchanged blows with Qing Yu since completing his third evolution and transformation.
He used to be constantly suppressed by Qingyu, but today is different.
Because both of them are now genetically evolved humans at level 3.
In less than two years, Han Shuo had caught up with Qing Yu without anyone noticing.
This was also the most evenly matched battle between the two sides.
...
"Good lad, I'm not going to hold back today. Watch out, here I come!"
As soon as the words fell, Qingyu launched the first attack.
Han Shuo's eyes also sharpened; he, too, would not hold back in any way.
He vaguely sensed that this sparring session was more than just a simple exchange.
This sparring match felt more like a unique way for Qingyu to say goodbye to him!
He must take this seriously!
...
In the next second, the two sides started fighting!
Qingyu's punches and kicks were even more ferocious than usual.
At first, Han Shuo was repeatedly defeated.
But as his body gradually warmed up, he also began to launch a counterattack.
Han Shuo could withstand every punch from Qing Yu, and Qing Yu could withstand every punch from Han Shuo.
Both have their own strengths.
Qingyu's advantage lies in his extremely rich combat experience.
Han Shuo's advantage lies in his youth, faster reaction time, and greater stamina...
And so, before they knew it, the two sides had reached a stalemate.
Two minutes later, after exchanging a punch and a kick, the two separated and then stopped simultaneously.
This competition has now come to an end.
There's no need for the two of them to fight it out.
Qingyu was panting heavily, a genuine smile on his face.
"Alright, you can go back now."
"Yes! Brother Qingyu, then... I'm leaving."
Han Shuo smiled too. He liked this way of saying goodbye because they both understood each other without needing to say anything more.
Just as he turned to leave, Qingyu looked at his retreating figure, her eyes suddenly softening.
His eyes gleamed, and a gentle voice rang out from his lips.
"Han Shuo, remember to protect Xiao Zhao..."
Han Shuo's body trembled, and a feeling of reluctance suddenly welled up in his heart.
However, he did not look back. Suppressing his painful feelings, he resolutely walked towards the gate.
"Brother Qingyu, don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiao Zhao!"
"And...you, you must live..."
