Jiang Chuyi pulled her cold legs back onto the seat, hugged herself and looked at He Sizhao.
She found that every time she made this gesture, He Sizhao's eyes would flicker, as if he wanted to give up asking questions, but he still forced himself to look into her eyes, waiting for an answer.
It's an interesting phenomenon. This person seems to be a little... reluctant?
For the first time, Jiang Chuyi doubted the emotions he felt.
Wen Xi looked at her and said, "Captain He, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we get back..."
"Yeah," Jiang Chuyi said. "Maybe not that well, but I still have some understanding. This place is much more complicated than you think. After seeing those two things just now, you should have some understanding."
"What is that?" Wuyi and Su Heng had no idea what was happening in the tunnel. Wuyi's curious eyes scanned the car. "What did you encounter?"
Wen Xi's face turned grim when she mentioned what happened in the tunnel. She quickly told the two about her encounter with the two terrifying zombies. She could still feel her heart beating wildly after she finished speaking.
That was the palpitation left behind when one was extremely close to death.
"A huge, powerful zombie?" Wuyi was stunned. "Is that... is that really a zombie? This damn place actually harbors something so terrifying?"
How could it not be a zombie? The stench of decay can be smelled from far away.
Thinking of the fishy wind blowing in her face in the narrow tunnel, and the dust falling on her head caused by those two zombies...
Jiang Chuyi's face instantly drooped, and he turned his head away in disgust, looking out the window.
She turned even paler when she realized how dirty she was now.
"They are indeed zombies." He Sizhao whispered, "They don't have the scent of living people."
He was still looking at Jiang Chuyi while he spoke, but when he saw her reaction, it seemed as if something in his mind was confirmed. A look of regret quickly flashed across his eyes, and he pursed his lips and turned his head away.
He said nothing more, but his eyes showed a sharp light.
Su Heng said nervously, "Two monsters appeared at once that could even hurt Captain He, and this is just one of their sub-bases..."
He didn't continue, but everyone could hear the metaphor behind it.
The unimaginable bad news made the atmosphere in the car silent.
Wuyi fidgeted and twisted his body, finally unable to bear the silence: "Boss, what should we do next?"
The one who answered him was not He Sizhao, but Jiang Chuyi.
"Eat, take a shower," she said in an unquestionable tone of command, "and find me a comfortable place to sleep."
Wuyi almost choked on his own saliva: "That's it?"
"What else?" Jiang Chuyi stared at her with a matter-of-fact expression, as if they would be committing a heinous crime if they did not fulfill her wish.
However, what was strange was that none of the four people in the car raised any objections to this overly delicate and extravagant proposal.
Wen Xi naturally wouldn't say anything because Jiang Chuyi saved her life. Su Heng also felt guilty because of her relationship with Wen Xi, and he himself felt guilty for not protecting Jiang Chuyi.
Wu Yi was inspired by his own bizarre intuition. Moreover, he saw that Jiang Chuyi's first thought after escaping the crisis of death was to eat and sleep. He immediately felt admiration for this strong mentality.
As for He Sizhao, although his brows were cold, there was always a thoughtful glint in his eyes.
In any case, they all acquiesced to Jiang Chuyi's words.
The car moved forward in a quiet atmosphere, and no one knew what was going on in Jiang Chuyi's mind.
In order to prevent future accidents, should we just kill He Sizhao?
It’s better to leave it there for now. After all, he has food there and can take a shower.
Let’s finish cleaning these up first.
…
Unbeknownst to anyone, a group of people brought the most dangerous undercover agent into the camp.
He Sizhao got out of the car first, glanced at his horrible back, and said with a look of pity: "Boss, go bandage the wound first, it looks creepy."
He got goosebumps just watching it. How could He Sizhao endure such pain and sit in the car without changing his expression?
No wonder he always kept his posture straight in the car and didn't let his back touch the seat.
He Shizhao nodded, but did not bandage the wound immediately. Instead, he walked to the back door and opened it.
Sure enough, Jiang Chuyi was sitting inside with her legs hugged, with no intention of opening the door and getting out of the car.
Seeing someone opening the car door for her, she raised her big black and white eyes and looked over.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was a hint of sigh in the man's eyes.
For no reason, Jiang Chuyi recalled his previous deafening shouts of "Don't be afraid" and suddenly wanted to shudder. She didn't want to know what he was thinking at all.
In order to avoid seeing his look, she even bent down, took the initiative to get out from under his arms, and got out of the car by herself.
He Sizhao, who had just stretched out his arms and was about to carry Jiang Chuyi out:?
He looked at Jiang Chuyi standing beside him, and couldn't help but touch her head again: "You are sensible now, so good."
Jiang Chuyi: ...
She felt that there must be something wrong with this man.
This temporary camp looked much cleaner than the one where Long Pengfei and his team had camped before. Many people wearing the same combat uniforms as He Shizhao were busy and resting here. When they saw them come back, they all gathered around them.
The scene where He Sizhao touched Jiang Chuyi's heart naturally fell into everyone's eyes.
The group of people who came back with He Shizhao had seen this scene many times before, and they were all a little numb.
After all, they had already hugged the girl, and their boss let the girl do whatever she wanted without any complaints.
What's the point of patting my head now?
Everyone else was frozen in place. Those who were doing their jobs stopped and looked at Jiang Chuyi curiously, wondering who he was.
Jiang Chuyi was no longer surprised that he would attract everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. After all, it was like this in his original world. He didn't expect that after changing to another world, these people would still look ignorant.
She didn't feel awkward at all, and walked around the open space like a host, pointing at Wen Xi: "Go do what you should do, don't I need to tell you again?"
Wen Xi nodded, feeling both amused and helpless.
Jiang Chuyi looked around again, picked up someone who was staring at her blankly and asked, "Hey, where is the shower area?"
She really couldn't stand the dirt on her body and couldn't endure it for another minute.
"What?" The soldier was subconsciously stunned. Looking at Jiang Chuyi's fair and delicate face facing him, his face suddenly turned red. "I... I didn't..."
"No?" Jiang Chuyi frowned immediately. She turned to look at He Sizhao, "What did you say when you came here? How come there's not even a place to take a shower?"
Her voice was light and soft, and even when she spoke accusatory words, it did not cause any offence.
It's just a little unbelievable.
How well protected must it have been before that it wouldn't have to rush to find food in the apocalypse, but instead look for a place to take a bath?
"Miss, this is a camp, not a villa. There's no place to take a shower." Wuyi made a bitter face, trying to stop Jiang Chuyi from going crazy. "Let's make do with it. Just wipe it with a wet towel. How's that?"
Jiang Chuyi swung her hand, shaking off Wuyi who was trying to grab her sleeve: "This is what you promised me before, are you going to break your promise?"
She had just recovered a little bit of her mood, but it suddenly became bad again.
If it wasn't for eating and taking a shower, why would she leave that rather comfortable villa and follow them out?
If they hadn't told her that she could eat and take a shower here, why would she have been struggling for so long over whether or not to kill He Sizhao!
Jiang Chuyi was angry. Her thin chest began to rise and fall violently, and a dangerous aura began to brew in her dark eyes.
If we wait a few more seconds, the entire camp and everyone here will disappear, leaving no evidence.
However, just before his anger erupted, a gentle voice sounded from not far away.
"Brother Zhao, you guys are back?...Hmm? What's going on?"
Jiang Chuyi looked over impatiently, and a young man with long hair appeared in front of him.
Although the young man was also wearing a black combat uniform, like He Shizhao, he had a temperament that was out of tune with these ordinary soldiers.
He had a pair of extremely charming phoenix eyes, which were only covered by a pair of glasses. At first glance, he looked elegant and gentle. He was like a graceful and holy peony blooming among this group of rough men.
But what Jiang Chuyi noticed first was not his face, but... the bottle of mineral water in his hand.
The invisible giant hand disappeared above her head with a bang. She took a few quick steps to the handsome young man and, under his surprised gaze, snatched the water bottle from his hand.
Everyone saw Jiang Chuyi moving his delicate nose, carefully approaching the bottle mouth and sniffing it.
"It's okay." The young man heard her mutter softly, then turned to look at He Sizhao, "This kind of water is fine. Prepare some more for me. I need to take a bath."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
It goes without saying that clean water is such a precious resource in the apocalypse. No matter how pretty, cute and lovable this girl is, no one can stand the fact that she asks for precious water to take a bath.
The young man was also surprised when he heard her speak so eloquently.
He was pulled aside and said, "Su Mo, let the boss deal with this girl. You can't control her."
It can be heard that Wuyi has tried his best to lower his voice.
But unfortunately, this voice is not suitable for whispering.
After hearing the name Su Mo, Jiang Chuyi glanced at the young man.
Just like Wuyi, he was also a loyal subordinate who was conquered by Lu Qianzhi. He awakened an extremely rare ability to control beasts. In the end, he did not die, but his ending was not much better.
Because she had already had an unexpected thought, she was no longer surprised when she heard that a character from the plot appeared in this gang.
So she just glanced at him, then walked up to He Sizhao angrily, looked up at him and said, "Are you not keeping your word?"
She had come here after such a long journey. If she dared not to keep her promise, she would die here on the spot.
He Sizhao looked at the girl's frail body standing stubbornly in the same place, and her questions were clearly full of grievances.
Under everyone's gaze, he sighed softly and looked at Su Mo: "Give her all my share."
"What?!"
With He Shizhao leading the team, the special forces team has never lacked resources.
As the team captain, although He Shizhao always emphasized that he should have the same resources as everyone else, since he contributed the most and was the guardian of the team, how could anyone really let him have the same resources as others?
Originally, these were all his personal belongings, so there was nothing much to say when he said he would give all the resources to this girl.
But the girl had made it clear beforehand that she wanted to use the precious water resources to take a bath!
This made everyone look at their boss in astonishment, thinking he was crazy.
This includes unintentional.
"Boss, boss, boss..." Wuyi quickly slipped over to He Sizhao and whispered something in his ear, "Even if you're interested in that girl, isn't this too much?"
Not only He Shizhao's ears were disturbed, but everyone around him heard what he said.
In an instant, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Amidst all the attention, He Sizhao glanced at Wuyi calmly and nodded to Su Mo: "That's it. Come in later and help me bandage my wound."
After saying that, he went into a tent.
The decisions he made could not be disputed by others.
No matter how unbelievable it was, they couldn't help but object.
A light flashed across Su Mo's glasses, but he didn't show any excessive surprise and responded calmly.
Jiang Chuyi's wish was fulfilled, and his desire to destroy the camp faded.
She is a lazy person. If she wasn't really angry, she would be too lazy to take action.
Su Mo turned around and said a few words to the person next to him, then walked over here.
He unceremoniously pushed aside the stunned Wu Yi and smiled gently at Jiang Chuyi: "Miss, please follow me."
Jiang Chuyi nodded modestly.
While Jiang Chuyi began to wash himself lavishly with mineral water, Wen Xi was also taken to the truck where the food was stored.
"Sister Wen, this is all our belongings. Please use them as you see fit."
Wen Xi smiled and thanked him.
The seemingly young soldier hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Sister Wen, who is that little girl that the boss brought back? Is she and the boss really... that kind of relationship?"
Wen Xi originally thought that the young soldier was just gossiping, but when he looked closely, he saw that the boy's eyes were clearly filled with a hint of shyness and admiration, and a faint blush appeared on his blood-stained face.
She was stunned.
Thinking of Jiang Chuyi's little face that could be said to be a disaster for the country and the people, she couldn't help but sigh, and she understood the feelings of this poetic young man.
"I don't know." She spoke honestly and offered sincere advice, "You can ask Captain He about this, but I suggest you not ask Xiaoyi herself."
"Is her name Xiaoyi? What a cute name." The little soldier's eyes lit up.
Wen Xi covered his face.
She could understand the little warrior, but she still wanted to mourn for the little warrior's choice of crush.
"In short, don't ask Xiaoyi this question himself." She warned worriedly.
The little soldier learned the name of his sweetheart and left happily. Wen Xi turned his attention to the pile of various foods and began to search for vegetables.
As soon as she took a bag of thawed frozen vegetables in her hand, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Before she could react, she fell straight to the ground.
She was not as lucky as Su Heng in awakening some kind of talent. After enduring strong anesthesia and wandering all night, she came to cook without any rest, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer.
Wen Xi was not unconscious for long. When Su Mo's handsome and flawless face appeared in front of her, she almost fainted.
"Don't be nervous." Su Mo said gently, "You are too tired. From now on, you should rest."
"But I..." Wen Xi anxiously wanted to get up, but suddenly found another person in the tent. He was stunned, "Captain He?"
He Sizhao was sitting on the ground with one long leg stretched out, his upper body completely naked, his smooth muscles faintly revealed under the layers of overlapping bandages, and his beast-like sexy and seductive aura was overwhelming.
"She asked you to cook?" He Sizhao asked.
Wen Xi came back to her senses from her daze and looked away with a blush: "Yes. Xiaoyi is very picky about food. She won't eat anything other than vegetables. From the day before yesterday until now, she has only eaten one dish. I'm afraid she has been hungry for a long time now."
"Living in the apocalypse, yet only eating vegetables?" Su Mo's eyes flashed with deep thought, "This girl is really a little special."
He Sizhao listened in silence, stood up without saying a word, walked to Wen Xi, and picked up the bag she had been holding in her hand.
The four big words "Seasonal Vegetables" come into view.
"I'd better get up." Wen Xi struggled to get up, "Xiaoyi has saved me more than once, I can't let her starve."
"Lie down." He Sizhao said, "Don't worry about the food."
Wen Xi was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what this meant. She almost screamed, "Captain He, you—"
Su Mo reached out and pushed up his glasses, letting the reflection hide the look in his eyes.
He Sizhao didn't say much. He walked out of the tent with the bag of vegetables in his hand with a cold expression, as if he was holding a sniper rifle and going to carry out a mission.
…
Jiang Chuyi barely managed to clean herself under the simple conditions, and when she saw the clothes left outside, she frowned in disgust.
Of course there were no white skirts in the special forces team, so they gave her a set of the smallest size combat uniform.
However, everyone in the team, even women like Wen Xi, were over 1.7 meters tall, so even the smallest size was still too tight on Jiang Chuyi, leaving her shoulders half exposed.
Water was dripping from her long hair and she walked out barefoot.
When the people working around saw her, they were instantly speechless.
Jiang Chuyi, after washing away all the dirt, appeared defenselessly, as pure and clean as an angel who had strayed into the mortal world.
At this moment, everyone seemed to understand why their boss was willing to sacrifice drinking water to give her a bath.
Such a pure existence, even just looking at it, makes my heart feel calm and soft, and I can even forget that I am in the end times.
When a tall figure stood in front of Jiang Chuyi, she almost didn't recognize him.
She looked up at the naked man with bandages on his upper body for a long time before she recognized his identity from his amber eyes.
"He Sizhao?"
He Sizhao's eyes lingered on her hair and feet for a moment: "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
Jiang Chuyi was silent for a moment: "It's dirty."
She doesn't have the habit of wearing shoes.
When she was in the lab, she didn't even need to wear clothes. After all, what kind of experimental subject needed to wear clothes? It was just because she liked skirts that she developed the habit of wearing clothes.
Over time, she became more accustomed to walking barefoot.
This was an answer that was very consistent with Jiang Chuyi's personality. He Sizhao didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was quite decisive this time. He just stretched out his hand and picked up Jiang Chuyi horizontally.
Seeing that Jiang Chuyi's eyes were full of questions instead of rejection, he said, "Aren't you hungry?"
Oh, food.
Jiang Chuyi was very happy. This time he was finally not a bastard who only talked big.
As for the last person who spoke nonsense, Long Pengfei, she had made an exception and memorized his face.
He Sizhao carried Jiang Chuyi into his tent.
There was only a sleeping bag and a simple small table inside, on which was placed a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
Jiang Chuyi twitched his nose as soon as he came in.
What a nice smell.
Unlike the barely edible dish Wen Xi had made before, although the ingredients of this dish were not fresh enough, the chef had the advantage of having a superb cooking skill. It had a refreshing fragrance when you smelled it, and tasted sweet and delicious.
Seeing her sit down at the table with shining eyes, grab the chopsticks and start to eat voraciously, He Sizhao turned around and left the tent again.
Jiang Chuyi's attention was completely attracted by the dish, and she didn't care what He Sizhao was doing.
After a while, He Sizhao came back in. He rustled around at the back for a long time, and Jiang Chuyi felt someone move his feet that were curled up at the back.
She turned her head sensitively and saw He Sizhao putting a military boot on her foot.
The rough and hard texture hurt her all of a sudden. She immediately stretched out her legs and kicked, not only throwing the shoe away, but also stepping on the palm of He Sizhao's hand.
He Sizhao was stunned.
Jiang Chuyi's eyes widened, full of displeasure: "It's so uncomfortable, I won't wear that."
He Sizhao held Jiang Chuyi's foot, turned around and reached for the boot, and continued to put it on: "If you don't wear shoes, it will be difficult to escape if you encounter danger."
Jiang Chuyi refused to accept it and kicked again, but this time He Sizhao was prepared. She couldn't kick out, but he used the momentum to put his boots on her.
"..." Jiang Chuyi watched him put on the other boot in the same way, then stood up and threw both boots aside with two snaps.
She looked down at He Sizhao, who was half-kneeling on the ground, with a rare condescending attitude: "I don't need to run away."
He Shizhao's eyes moved, but he didn't say much. He got up and left the tent.
Jiang Chuyi continued to eat her vegetables with satisfaction.
This was the first meal she had ever eaten that was truly satisfying since she came into this world.
It seems that it is necessary to go to the trouble of saving the cook. She thought. At least her cooking skills are improving rapidly.
After eating his fill, Jiang Chuyi saw that the tent was relatively clean, so he didn't care whose it belonged to, and curled up in the softest sleeping bag and lay down.
Go to sleep when you say go to sleep.
He Sizhao came back again with a pair of much softer flat shoes in his hand.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Jiang Chuyi's little head sleeping soundly. He paused at the door and then walked out.
And draw the curtains neatly.
Then he turned and went to Su Mo's tent.
Jiang Chuyi can sleep, but he can't.
No one said much while they were in the car, but the appearance of two zombies with extraordinary strength was undoubtedly a major blow to the human survivors.
And there's also Shouli Tea House, where the waters are deeper than you might imagine...
He Shizhao's eyes fixed.
Jiang Chuyi slept until late afternoon.
When she opened her eyes, they were blurry for a moment, and she could hardly tell where she was.
...Oh yes, she is in that strange gang called He Si Zhao.
Jiang Chuyi crawled out of the sleeping bag and saw two pairs of shoes neatly placed on the ground.
One pair was the combat boots that she hated so much, and the other pair was flat sneakers.
Jiang Chuyi thought about the ground outside and the uncertainty of what he would step on. After a moment of hesitation, he put on his sneakers.
How ugly! She looked at it. Fortunately, it didn't scratch her skin.
She walked out of the tent with her shoes on, grabbed someone and asked, "Where is He Sizhao?"
She didn't realize that after He Sizhao took care of her in silence and made her feel extra comfortable, she subconsciously wanted to find him.
The man obviously knew her and pointed her in a direction attentively. "The boss is talking to Colonel Su and the others and hasn't come out yet. Do you want me to go and inform them for you..."
After Jiang Chuyi asked for the information, he didn't listen to the rest of the words and walked directly in that direction.
The man scratched his head and thought that considering how much the boss cared about the girl, he probably wouldn't care about this, so he relaxed and continued to do his own thing.
Jiang Chuyi came to the outside of the tent and was about to open the curtain to go in when he heard someone ask, "So, Brother Zhao, are you going to take Jiang Chuyi with you?"
When Jiang Chuyi heard his own name, he paused subconsciously.
Her hearing is better than that of ordinary humans, and she can hear the words clearly.
He Sizhao was silent at first, then he nodded softly.
A gasp of astonishment was heard, and before the person could even open his mouth, Jiang Chuyi recognized who it was.
"Boss, are you kidding me? You're going to take a young lady who can't even carry anything on her shoulders or hands to do something so dangerous?" Wuyi shouted. "Speaking of which, who is she, and why are you all so concerned about her?"
Isn't it natural to listen to her?
Jiang Chuyi folded his arms and openly eavesdropped at the corner of the door.
She heard a subtle sound, and it seemed that He Sizhao sat up straight, proving that he was taking the issue seriously.
"Didn't you notice?" he said, "Jiang Chuyi..."
The author has something to say:
