Perhaps the sense of security that a room brings to people is incomparable. Jiang Chuyi slept very well and felt quite energetic when he woke up.
As soon as she moved, someone next to her opened his eyes. She raised her head and met a pair of amber eyes.
"Awake?" Perhaps because he hadn't spoken in a while, He Sizhao's voice was a little low and hoarse. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
He reached out and covered Jiang Chuyi's forehead, and realized with a heavy heart that his body temperature was higher than Jiang Chuyi's who was wrapped in a blanket after sleeping without anything covering him.
Jiang Chuyi stared at him for a while, with no sign of happiness or unhappiness on her face, and just reached out and pushed his hand aside.
A helpless look flashed in He Sizhao's eyes. He stood up and packed up with others.
Jiang Chuyi naturally didn't need to move. She sat where she was, and someone immediately brought her a thermos cup filled with hot water.
She met the man's eyes and saw a flash of pity and worry in them.
Jiang Chuyi:?
What happened when she didn't know?
Several people moved quickly. When they were loading the things into the car, He Sizhao walked up to Jiang Chuyi.
"Xiaoyi, are you willing to go back with me?"
This time Jiang Chuyi answered quickly: "No."
"Are you still mad at me?" He Sizhao half-knelt down and looked at her sincerely. "I really know I was wrong. I will never lie to you again. I swear."
"Your oath is worth nothing! Go away, go away, don't bother me." Jiang Chuyi reached out and grabbed him. "Lu Qianzhi! Are you still alive?"
Lu Qianzhi heard her voice from a distance and rushed back immediately. Looking at the situation in front of him, he was a little overwhelmed: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong?"
"This guy isn't from your team, why are you keeping him around?" Jiang Chuyi said, "Get rid of him quickly."
Lu Qianzhi and He Sizhao looked at each other, and both of them showed bitterness for different reasons on their faces.
At this moment, the two men who had disliked each other since they first met suddenly felt that they understood each other.
"Xiaoyi, listen to me." He Sizhao said in a soothing tone, "Captain Lu still has a mission to complete. He will be very uncomfortable if he is displaced along the way."
This was the agreement reached between the two parties last night.
Lu Qianzhi will not force Jiang Chuyi to stay, but He Sizhao is responsible for sending Jiang Chuyi back to the headquarters for treatment.
Lu Qianzhi knew the power of He Sizhao in the headquarters. As long as he spoke, no one dared to disregard his words. This was something he could not compare with now.
No matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit this fact.
They all tacitly concealed Jiang Chuyi's "illness" from her, causing Jiang Chuyi to look at He Sizhao as if he were a fool.
"What are you talking about?" she said. "Aren't you guys running around on missions? What's the difference between going back with you and staying with them?"
"I don't have any more missions. I'll take you back to the main base after we leave here." He Sizhao said softly, "It's a great place there, with comfortable rooms and endless vegetables. Su Mo, right?"
Halfway through his words, he remembered that he lacked credibility with Jiang Chuyi, so he deliberately brought Su Mo along.
"Yes, Xiaoyi." Su Mo said with a smile, "I testify that Brother Zhao did not lie."
Jiang Chuyi gave him a look of disdain.
How innocent does this guy think he is? He's nothing more than an accomplice.
"Xiaoyi."
Lu Qianzhi also half-knelt in front of her, with some reluctance in his eyes, but he still showed a bright smile.
"I also came from the main base, and I can testify that the main base is the safest place in the world right now. If you go there, you will definitely live very comfortably."
In fact, how could Jiang Chuyi not know that the headquarters base is now very safe, and can even be called the best place to live in the world. This is all written in the original plot.
She simply didn't want to listen to He Sizhao.
He Sizhao moved the fingers on his knees, and a feeling of helplessness surged from the bottom of his heart.
He had indeed intended to stay behind to carry out the mission himself, and let Su Mo and Wuyi send Jiang Chuyi back to the main base.
But after experiencing Jiang Chuyi's disappearance this time, he suddenly realized that he could not bear Jiang Chuyi's disappearance in front of him. This would make him feel like a piece of his heart was missing, and he could not calm down no matter what he did.
In addition, after knowing that Lu Qianzhi's mission was also for Shouli Tea House, he recognized his ability and believed that he was capable of taking on this important task, so he changed his mind and decided to send Jiang Chuyi back personally.
Besides, he had a hidden concern.
Just as Lu Qianzhi mentioned when discussing this matter last night.
"If an ordinary person had such a serious illness, even if they returned to the headquarters, they would most likely be abandoned." Lu Qianzhi's voice was filled with worry. "After all, there is only one hospital with high-end medical facilities in the world. I'm worried..."
"You don't have to worry about that." He Sizhao interrupted him, not wanting to hear him pin the fate he was about to describe on Jiang Chuyi. Even if it wasn't going to happen, he couldn't. "Since I said I'd take him back, I have my own way to treat her."
"Captain Lu, you're worrying too much." Su Mo also said, with a smile that was mixed with some depth. "Major General He's confidence is not just based on the rank of Major General."
Lu Qianzhi looked at He Sizhao with a look of surprise and doubt, and the other party's calm and stern face seemed even more unfathomable.
——This is He Shizhao’s concern.
Lu Qianzhi was not jealous. He had overlooked one point before. Su Mo and Wuyi could indeed bring Jiang Chuyi back to the main base safely, but it was not certain whether they could provide her with proper treatment.
Treating Jiang Chuyi has become his obsession, and now nothing can stop him.
He Shizhao's eyes became firm.
"Is there any other reason why you don't want to leave?" he asked softly, "besides hating me."
Jiang Chuyi shook his head decisively.
Several people had a bitter smile on their faces.
"Xiaoyi, we won't leave if we don't want to. But no matter how much you hate Brother Zhao, you can't let him go." Seeing He Sizhao's complete gloom, Su Mo stepped in in time to speak up. "Think about his cooking skills. If you drive him away, how will you be able to eat such delicious food?"
This finally grasped Jiang Chuyi's lifeline.
Jiang Chuyi thought about the days before He Sizhao came, and then thought about the tomato stewed potatoes last night, and hesitation appeared on his face.
"Just treat me as a dumb cook." He Sizhao quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "I'll cook for you, and you don't have to listen to me, okay?"
There is no problem with this. Jiang Chuyi thinks this deal is worth it.
"Okay then." She nodded reluctantly and confidently stretched out her arms to He Sizhao, "Aren't we leaving now? Carry me back to the car."
A look of surprise flashed in He Sizhao's eyes.
He immediately continued to work as his mount without complaint.
Lu Qianzhi watched all this in amazement, not knowing where to start complaining.
Su Mo patted his shoulder meaningfully: "The first step to getting along with Xiaoyi is to learn to be her slave."
Lu Qianzhi: "How long are you going to keep doing this... When can you send Xiaoyi back?"
"That requires Xiaoyi's consent first." Su Mo said helplessly, "You've already seen the consequences of not following her wishes."
Jiang Chuyi, who left everyone helpless, was placed in the passenger seat.
He Sizhao was still thinking: "Xiaoyi, isn't there enough space in the front? You can sit in the back with me and even lie down."
Jiang Chuyi: "Aren't you going to just follow me and not say anything?"
He Sizhao shut his mouth.
In fact, as long as she wasn't squeezed with others, it didn't matter to Jiang Chuyi where she sat. She thought about it and it seemed that the back was indeed more spacious. Just as she was about to order him to carry her to move to another place, her ears suddenly moved.
Besides them, there are other people here.
The others gradually moved their things back to the car, including some new supplies found in the convenience store.
"Carry me to the back." Jiang Chuyi continued to stretch out his hand.
He Sizhao's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked her up and moved her to the back seat, and handed her the novel she hadn't finished reading.
Just as Lu Qianzhi and Su Mo were about to get in the car, He Sizhao's body suddenly stiffened.
"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Su Mo reacted the fastest and reached for his gun bag. "Is there something wrong?"
Hearing him say this, the team members immediately became alert and looked around in confusion. They did not hear any zombies howling.
"Not a zombie."
He Sizhao quietly took out his gun, turned around suddenly, and pointed it straight at the grass outside the gas station.
"come out."
His voice was cold, and he suddenly turned back into the decisive and ruthless Major General He.
Everyone trusted his judgment very much and followed him in pointing in that direction.
Under the threat of so much firepower, the silent grass moved, and several figures slowly stood up from it.
They were wearing clothes so dirty that their original colors were almost invisible. They were obviously cowering as they looked at the group of people, but their dirty faces were full of anger.
"Who are you?" Lu Qianzhi asked solemnly, "Are you the survivors here?"
Although they had long suspected that there were other survivors in Luyang City, they had no choice but to give up this speculation because they had not seen a single living person from beginning to end.
But now, they discovered that not only were there living people, but these people might have been guarding them all night without their knowledge, which made them feel a little creepy.
If they had been less vigilant and hadn't arranged for anyone to keep watch last night...what would have happened?
Everyone was aware of this possibility and looked at these people with vigilance.
There weren't many people on the other side, only six, five men and one woman, all with the same fierce look in their eyes.
Seeing that they had been discovered, they simply walked out. Although they were obviously afraid of the guns in the hands of these people, they still shouted loudly in a timid manner.
"Hand over everything you took from this convenience store!"
"Yes! This isn't yours!"
"This is ours!"
"Yours?" Lu Qianzhi was stunned. "Is there some misunderstanding here? When we came here, there was still a zombie in this convenience store. There was no one there..."
"That's ours!" one man roared. "We've been eyeing this place for days, but we haven't had the chance to take action yet. It's ours!"
Everyone found it a little difficult to understand.
Lu Qianzhi stepped forward and tried to reason with her. Jiang Chuyi stuck her head out of the car, annoyed that the noise had prevented her from reading her novel.
"It's just a robbery, why are you making such a fuss?"
She pointed.
"Close the door and release He Sizhao."
