Postwar
After the war.
At dusk, they arrived at Utopia smoothly. Zhou Zhe used the weapon to transform into a chain to fix the ice that froze Mengma, and with the help of Zhou Ting, he brought her back to the base.
Jiang Ziyao saw someone shouting from a distance on the watchtower. The gate of the base was quickly opened, and Su Yunyun, who stayed at the base, came running over with a stretcher, along with several men.
Su Yunyun said with concern: "Those who are seriously injured should be taken to the infirmary immediately."
They won, but they looked so embarrassed and dirty, with dust on their hair, and some of their clothes were torn. Someone laughed and said, "They are still alive. If possible, we should open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!"
The person who was speaking was the deputy captain of the first team of law enforcers. His name was Chen Yu. As one of the three high-level aliens of the law enforcers, he was quite mysterious in Jiang Ziyao's eyes.
He still had the energy to laugh. As the most respectable person in this fight, Jiang Ziyao had never seen him take the initiative to attack.
【Lucky. 】
Maybe it means literally?
"Brother Jiang, who are you looking at?"
Jiang Ziyao listened to Huo Chi's questioning tone and shook his head: "No one."
Huo Chi's hands were so sore that they were weak. He rested his head on Jiang Ziyao's shoulder, sticking it to his back like a pendant, and kept shouting "Jiang Brother Jiang Brother" all the way. Others would sometimes look back at them.
Especially Bian Chengsi, he glanced over from time to time, wanting to get closer to Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi to talk, but he had to pay attention to the big guy who was frozen in ice with Zhou Ting.
Jiang Ziyao didn't like too many inquiring eyes on him. He listened to Huo Chi's dull breathing and patted his shoulder gently: "Hold on a little longer, it will be over soon."
Jiang Ziyao let him rub it all over his body. Although the smell of blood was not pleasant, the wound would easily fester and become inflamed in such an environment.
Ye Qian herself was in the diagnosis room with the door of the infirmary open. She sent the ordinary people who came to see the doctor out to make time for their team.
Jiang Ziyao heard the dissatisfied complaints and passed by the ordinary patients. Ye Qian quickly started to treat them, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
"Sit down first." Ye Qian reserved a spacious ward: "There is water and glucose on the table."
Zhang Xin and Deng Guo were lying on the hospital beds with many broken bones and were in a coma. Liu Xin was leaning on Mo Yu's shoulder. Su Yunyun had helped her clean and bandage the stab wound on her shoulder in advance. The three girls were leaning against each other, drowsy.
Ye Qian then cleaned the toxins from Wang Yu's arm. The blood vessels in her left hand had turned black, and it looked like one of her hands was useless. A group of dusty people were crowded in a ward. Jiang Ziyao watched her use her supernatural powers, and a warm light reflected in his dark pupils. Her healing ability was very similar to Riley's, but it was obviously stronger.
Jiang Ziyao said, "Doctor Ye, please take a look at him. He's not feeling well."
Ye Qian came over quickly. Without saying anything, she raised her hand and covered Huo Chi's forehead.
Huo Chi suddenly opened his eyes, his hair wet and bloody. He suddenly retracted his hand, grabbed Ye Qian's wrist, and forced her hand away from him.
His face looked very ugly, and he looked at Ye Qian with eyes that seemed to be glaring at her hatefully.
Jiang Ziyao stood up suddenly: "What's wrong?"
The others also looked over, and those who were tired and drowsy were awakened and stared intently.
Huo Chi didn't say anything. His eyes looked clear. The intense anger made his eyes look bloodshot. His bloody face looked cruel. His hands were pinching so tightly that he might break Ye Qian's arm.
Ye Qian exuded a gentle aura, and she asked in a questioning tone: "I need to touch you to use my supernatural power. The potion has just run out. Can you bear with it for a while?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ziyao repeated. He stood closer, put his hand on Huo Chi's shoulder, and stood opposite Ye Qian.
"I, I don't know." Huo Chi took a breath, shook his head, and stammered: "It's a misunderstanding, I was a little distracted just now."
Bian Chengsi asked: "Is he seriously injured?"
Huo Chi shook his head. He immediately let go of Ye Qian's hand, still frowning: "I may need to sleep for a while, Brother Jiang..."
He looked somewhat pitiful in his confusion, so Jiang Ziyao asked him to hold his hand tightly.
"Of course, there is an empty ward in the infirmary." Ye Qian nodded. Her movements were very light. Her wrist seemed to be burned by Huo Chi. She recovered quickly and treated Huo Chi calmly.
Jiang Ziyao didn't see her hostility, and heard her smile and said, "He's a reliable child."
Ye Qian said this to Jiang Ziyao. She became happier and quickly healed Huo Chi's wounds and the side effects of his overload. His arm recovered in a short time. Huo Chi held Jiang Ziyao and did not let go even with his heavy eyelids closed.
Jiang Ziyao said: "Thank you."
"What about you?" Ye Qian asked Jiang Ziyao with concern. She leaned over to look at him and said, "Let me see where you are injured?"
"I'm fine, just some scratches." Jiang Ziyao avoided her outstretched hand and thanked her politely for her kindness. Seeing that she was sweating a lot, he said, "Please look after others, or go and have a rest."
Ye Qian nodded: "Call me if you need anything, and have a good rest." After a while, she left the ward first.
The door was locked and the room was silent for a while. Wang Yu raised her head and said with a serious expression: "What do you think about the way the Saint Society handled it?"
Mo Yu said: "Kill them? The atmosphere in the base is not good. Killing an enemy can boost morale."
Zhou Ting shook her head: "Killing her won't do us much good. According to the rules, we should let Doctor Ye handle it. Her existence is very special. She is an infected person but has her own will. It would be more useful to keep her as a hostage for research."
Jiang Ziyao asked: "How will Doctor Ye deal with this?"
Zhou Ting replied: "Doctor Ye has the ability to prevent the hostage from escaping, so it is safest to keep him with her."
Zhou Zhe lowered his head. He remained silent and did not express his opinion. Wang Yu glanced at Jiang Ziyao: "What do you think?"
Jiang Ziyao thought for a moment and replied, "Be a hostage."
"The fact that Riley is willing to stop for her shows that this has a certain restraining effect. The people from the Saint Society will definitely take further action."
Wang Yu concluded: "Then I'll listen to you, Mo Yu. Go and notify Doctor Ye to handle it, but be careful."
Mo Yu nodded and quickly walked out the door.
Jiang Ziyao said to Wang Yu: "I thought you would have a lot of questions for me."
Wang Yu took out a cigarette from her pocket and put it in her mouth, just holding it in her mouth: "I'm not such a curious person."
She glanced at the others: "Su Yunyun, are the things ready?"
Su Yunyun: "Okay."
"Give it to him."
Su Yunyun stood up and handed a card to Jiang Ziyao: "This is a separate pass card. Keep it safe. If you lose it, you must report it immediately."
Jiang Ziyao took it and glanced at it. It was the same as his previous campus card, with the word "Jiang" printed on it. He put it in his trouser pocket and said, "Thank you."
Wang Yu raised her eyebrows: "You deserve it."
Chen Yu suddenly came over: "Hey!"
He put his hand on Jiang Ziyao's shoulder in a familiar manner: "Chen Yu, can I meet you?"
Chen Yu's arm rested on Jiang Ziyao's neck. Jiang Ziyao frowned slightly and hushed, signaling him to speak softly: "Jiang Ziyao."
"I've heard of your name a long time ago." Chen Yu lowered his voice, "You're a celebrity who can handle the most brutal woman in the world. I've always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately I don't have the chance."
Jiang Ziyao acted indifferent. Huo Chi, who was leaning on him, suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't even look at Chen Yu. He just took his hand away from Jiang Ziyao's shoulder and continued to sleep with his eyes closed. He didn't say anything, but expressed the word "unfamiliar".
"We are friends after all." Chen Yu was not afraid of embarrassment, but he still kept a polite distance: "You are young and promising. How about joining our first law enforcement team? What the second team can give, we can give more."
Zhou Ting snorted: "What? Are you trying to poach people?"
"Yes." Chen Yu said, "Rather than being in your women's team, wouldn't it be better for them to join our first team?"
Zhou Ting glared at him: "You wish."
Bian Chengsi replied quietly: "Brother Jiang and the others are tired, can you please stop bothering them?"
Chen Yu was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Zhe raised his head in silence and glanced at Chen Yu, who immediately became intimidated: "Captain, I was just joking."
Zhou Zhe was very serious: "Be quiet."
Jiang Ziyao looked at Zhou Zhe. He looked like a gloomy young man, as dull as a stone on the way back.
"My dead ex-boyfriend suddenly came back to life and turned crazy." Jiang Ziyao saw the shadow of this online novel in him. No one took the initiative to talk about Wen Liao. Looking at Wang Yu's peeping eyes, she seemed to have some plans.
Wang Yu stood up and said, "Now that you have rested enough, it's time to get back to work."
She walked up to Jiang Ziyao and curled her lips: "The genetic sequence information is in the city lord's public office. You have the right to read it."
"Our deal is done."
Soon, she left with her team. Law enforcers do not have sick leave. Wen Liao's affairs, including Bian Chengsi's accidental killing, were so overwhelming that Jiang Ziyao almost forgot the purpose of wanting to check the genetic sequence.
"Let's drink together next time. I have some good stuff in my collection." Chen Yu forced a smile at him, "We must chat when we have time."
He said hello and left the ward. Jiang Ziyao saw Zhou Zhe also stood up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Zhe shook his head. He looked at the intimacy between Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi with a little envy in his eyes: "I still have a mission."
"I'm leaving now."
"Doctor Ye knows that I have doubts about her. She is on guard against me...including my father. I don't have anyone else I trust now."
"Forgive my rudeness. I can only ask you for help."
Zhou Zhe whispered in Jiang Ziyao's ear: "Please tell me the answer to the secret in the basement."
Jiang Ziyao nodded in agreement.
"When they wake up, help call them back to the team." Zhou Zhe patted Jiang Ziyao on the shoulder and raised his voice.
Zhou Zhe left in a hurry after he finished speaking. Jiang Ziyao followed Zhou Zhe's figure with his eyes. Opposite the ward was the laboratory, and he saw Ye Qian.
Ye Qian stood by the glass door, quietly, not looking at Zhou Zhe, but only at Jiang Ziyao. They looked at each other. She had been looking at each other silently for a long time.
Jiang Ziyao helped Huo Chi to the wall and let him lean against it.
The heat from the peeling woke Huo Chi up, and he looked at her with a puzzled look.
Jiang Ziyao covered his eyes: "Continue to rest, I'll be back after I say something." His words were very magical. Huo Chi let down his guard and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Jiang Ziyao pulled away and took the initiative to find Ye Qian and asked her: "Are you busy? Are there any vacant beds? I also want to take a break."
Ye Qian stared at Jiang Ziyao's smiling face.
She might be looking at her twin sister, or maybe she was looking at her child, Jiang Ziyao thought, Ye Qian was smiling at him: "Of course, you can stay as long as you want."
