The moment Jiang Chuyi saw the man's gaze, he narrowed his eyes.
She didn't know who this man was, but she could clearly feel his emotions.
The look in this person's eyes was exactly the same as the look shown by those who attacked her on the first day she came into this world.
She was very familiar with that look of fear and disgust, but now the person was more shocked than surprised.
Why shocked?
Did he really recognize his identity?
This was impossible. She had deliberately concealed her appearance that day, and even Lu Qianzhi, who had seen her up close, hadn't been able to recognize her. Even if this person had been there, how could he have recognized her?
Jiang Chuyi's mind was spinning rapidly, but he was still in a lazy posture. However, the invisible giant hand quietly condensed and got stuck on this person's neck.
As soon as he showed any sign of exposing her...
Jiang Chuyi suppressed the growing murderous intent and stared at him calmly.
She didn't realize that for the first time in her life, she felt a little nervous.
No matter who this person is, or whether He Sizhao knows him or not, as long as he is killed quickly, the secret will not be exposed.
This thought was clearer than ever before.
"Hmm?" Wuyi walked up to the man carelessly, looked back at Jiang Chuyi, and then looked at him, "Ji Xia, do you know Xiaoyi?"
"Who... is she?" Ji Xia turned his head slowly to look at Wuyi, his pupils still constricted in fear. He didn't notice that his voice was trembling. "Why... are you with her?"
Late summer.
Jiang Chuyi hadn't noticed this name just now, but now when he heard Wuyi call him that, he quickly recalled the entire text in his mind.
No.
Just like He Sizhao, there was no mention of this person in the original plot. It was as if he appeared out of thin air, and he was familiar with He Sizhao...
Without waiting for Wuyi to answer the question, Jiang Chuyi looked up at He Sizhao: "Who is he?"
"This is Ji Xia, a friend I met in the army." Jiang Chuyi felt He Sizhao's arms tense up for a moment as he held her, but then quickly relaxed. He explained calmly, "Ji Xia, just say whatever you want to say."
Ji Xia's reaction was so big that it was impossible to deceive oneself and say that he was fine.
Ji Xia seemed to have just realized who was holding Jiang Chuyi in his arms. His puzzled gaze paused for a moment on He Sizhao's face. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you so fussy?" Wuyi was dissatisfied with him and patted his back hard, "Just say what you want to say, kid!"
"I……"
Ji Xia finally uttered a syllable, but before he could finish his words, the sound of orderly footsteps came from behind.
A team of soldiers armed with live ammunition, wearing riot helmets and holding shields, quickly arrived at the scene and surrounded the group, including Ji Xia.
This obvious attacking posture stimulated everyone, and everyone couldn't help but pick up their weapons and take defensive postures.
He Shizhao's brows darkened.
Ji Xia suddenly came to his senses and looked at these people angrily: "Who told you to come down! This is Major General He! Who told you to attack Major General He?"
"I."
A man in military uniform, with a fierce attitude, broke out from the encirclement.
When everyone saw him, they all looked surprised.
"Who is this?" Jiang Chuyi felt that the human content exceeded the standard and retracted his nose into his coat again.
The taste is strong.
"Lieutenant General Guan Wenbo," He Sizhao replied softly, "He's the general in charge of the city wall's defense."
"Lieutenant General Guan?"
The one who spoke was Lu Qianzhi. He was a little surprised and wanted to go forward to meet him, but the soldiers around Guan Wenbo suddenly pointed their guns at him, as if they would shoot if he took another step forward.
Lu Qianzhi stopped abruptly on the spot.
Guan Wenbo's not-so-young eyes swept over the group of people, pausing for a moment on He Sizhao and Jiang Chuyi in his arms, then moved to Su Mo.
A hint of mockery flashed across his eyes. Finally, he looked at Lu Qianzhi and said in an unexpectedly gentle voice, "Qianzhi, this is a special situation. Don't be impulsive. Just wait for the arrangements."
Jiang Chuyi keenly felt that he didn't like He Sizhao and Su Mo.
Wu Wu poked Lu Qianzhi and asked him quietly in a not-so-small voice: "Brother Lu, do you know this uncle?"
He was very dissatisfied with the look Guan Wenbo had just given He Sizhao and Su Mo, and asked this question deliberately.
Anyway, there is no reason to kill these people here. Who is afraid of who?
"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Qianzhi accused in a low voice, and hurriedly explained, "Lieutenant General Guan is also a student of my teacher, General Wen, and is considered my senior brother."
"Qianzhi, the teacher is now a marshal." Guan Wenbo interrupted Lu Qianzhi, his face clearly showing a proud arrogance. "He has also become the acting commander-in-chief of the main base. A lot of things happened during the time you were away."
"What?"
When he said this, Su Mo and Wuyi's expressions changed, and they looked at He Sizhao at the same time.
He Sizhao didn't say anything, but Jiang Chuyi clearly felt that his whole body stiffened for a moment.
He exhaled lightly, took a few steps forward, and asked calmly, "When can we go in?"
Jiang Chuyi discovered that even when facing the lieutenant general, He Sizhao's tone of voice did not show much respect, and at most maintained basic politeness.
In human military ranks, Lieutenant General is higher than Major General, right?
She hesitated for a moment, but found that except for Guan Wenbo himself, who had a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes, everyone else looked as if it was a matter of course.
Through the soldiers' riot masks, she could clearly see that they were all glancing at He Sizhao, with excitement in their eyes, just like a fan seeing a big star.
"...You can go in, but you must undergo quarantine inspection." Guan Wenbo answered reluctantly. It can be seen that if Lu Qianzhi was not also in this team, he would even want to directly refuse them entry into the base.
"Isolation and inspection? How long?" Wuyi asked bluntly, "If someone gets bitten, the mutation will erupt in half an hour at most, right?"
"Kid, the world isn't what you think it is. Even if you haven't read many books, you should be polite when asking experienced people for advice." Guan Wenbo gave him a mocking look. It was obvious that he knew Wuyi. Without waiting for Wuyi to explode, he continued, "Someone like you applied to enter the base before, and we agreed. But he was an unmutated infected person. The zombie virus lurked in his body for three days and didn't erupt until the fourth day. Anyone who came into contact with his body fluids was instantly transformed into a zombie, causing a catastrophe to the base."
After hearing his words, everyone's expression changed except Jiang Chuyi.
"This is true." Ji Xia suddenly spoke up. He seemed to have adjusted his mood, but his eyes were complicated and sighed. "This crisis caused many deaths in the base, and I... almost died."
Jiang Chuyi glanced at him.
What emanated from him was not just relief and fear, but also some more complex emotions that she could not distinguish.
"How can it be so powerful?" Lu Qianzhi's face turned grim. "Does this mean... the zombies are evolving?"
"Humanity is evolving, and of course the zombies are evolving too." Guan Wenbo's voice was a little gentler. "It's just that they're more cunning now. The base is seriously damaged, so we have to be careful."
"We accept the quarantine." He Sizhao said, "We accept all defense inspections of the base, Lieutenant General Guan, is this okay?
He Sizhao's voice was very soft, but everyone could hear the suppressed storm within it.
Jiang Chuyi had never seen He Sizhao like this.
The aura that is ready to go out, released by his strength, will bring an unparalleled sense of oppression to the people around him.
The soldiers closest to him immediately showed signs of difficulty breathing, and Lieutenant General Guan's face immediately turned ugly.
"Major General He, are you ordering me around?" Guan Wenbo suppressed his anger. "Whether you're allowed in or not is up to me."
"It's up to you whether you want to or not."
Jiang Chuyi was getting really impatient, so he crawled out of his coat and started talking right away.
"I've given you some face, but you really think you're shameless. Can you open your eyes and see who you can beat with just a few of you? I didn't want to ask you out of kindness, but you still have the nerve to start talking in a pretentious tone. Who are you ordering?"
Whether they knew Jiang Chuyi or not, they all fell into a brief daze.
They stared blankly at the pretty little head that popped out from the clothes that had been held by He Shizhao, but when it opened its mouth, it was so choking that it could make people choke to death.
"You haven't made a move yet. Either you don't dare, or someone's forbidding you. Why are you still pretending? I'm so sorry. Even if you dislike He Sizhao, he can still beat up a hundred of you with one punch." The delicate girl held her chin high, and her natural arrogance made people want to kneel down and agree with her point of view. "Now there are only two outcomes. Either you let us in, or we fight our way in. Which one do you choose?"
In the few seconds after she finished speaking, no one spoke.
Jiang Chuyi acted as if he hadn't noticed Guan Wenbo's face suddenly turn the color of liver. He tutted, "Hurry up and let us in. You're talking so much nonsense. Maybe you have Alzheimer's."
"Pfft." Wuyi was the first to burst out laughing.
Su Mo also curved his eyebrows and smiled very gently.
He Sizhao didn't smile, but Jiang Chuyi clearly saw a hint of smile flash across his eyes.
She gave Ji Xia an extra look.
Ji Xia, like everyone else, stared at her in amazement. Instead of the initial fear on his face, there was a hint of self-doubt, as if he didn't recognize her.
Jiang Chuyi tightened his shadow hand around his neck.
"Ah, this..." Lu Qianzhi's face was full of embarrassment. He wanted to comfort Jiang Chuyi, but also wanted to comfort Guan Wenbo. He was in a dilemma.
Guan Wenbo took a deep breath, his eyes burning with rage, but as Jiang Chuyi said, no matter what the reason, he was worried and did not dare to really take action against He Sizhao and the others.
Now this delicate girl was held in He Sizhao's arms, and he allowed her to speak wildly. He Sizhao had no intention of stopping or blaming her, but instead looked at her with doting. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what he meant. Even if he wanted to teach her a lesson, he really couldn't do it.
"Okay, He Sizhao, you are really nice." Guan Wenbo showed a sinister smile, obviously blaming He Sizhao for this.
He glared at Jiang Chuyi fiercely and turned his head away with an extremely ugly expression.
"Take them to quarantine."
Just as Jiang Chuyi said, he really didn't dare to refuse them entry.
Wu Yi looked at Jiang Chuyi with admiration, but Jiang Chuyi looked at him with a look of "wouldn't it have been done earlier" and shrank back into He Sizhao's clothes.
Now she is not so afraid of the cold, but it is too sunny. She is like a delicate plant, afraid of both cold and heat, and wilts easily.
As the group walked inside, Guan Wenbo pointed at Ji Xia.
"You've entered the dangerous area and are now isolated with them," he said coldly. "By the way, Ji Xia has violated military discipline, so one month's salary will be deducted."
Ji Xia shrugged indifferently and immediately followed He Sizhao.
His eyes kept wandering around Jiang Chuyi, but he also obviously wanted to look at He Sizhao very much. That look reminded Jiang Chuyi of a cartoon he had watched before.
"He Sizhao, is this your son?" she asked. "He looks like a tadpole that just found its mother."
He Sizhao:?
