The system thought it had heard wrongly.
"Will He Sizhao be sad?" It repeated in astonishment. It never thought that this reason would become the reason for its host to worry about killing someone?
However, Jiang Chuyi felt like her tail had been stepped on. She said impatiently, "If he's unhappy, he won't cook properly. What will I eat then? I'm just thinking about myself."
"Oh..." the system said blankly, its mind racing before blurting out, "It seems you still like He Sizhao quite a bit. To save him from death, you even gave him a sip of energy. Otherwise, with his energy depleted at the time, even if he wasn't eaten alive by zombies, he would have died of exhaustion."
"..." Jiang Chuyi lowered his voice, "Is there something wrong?"
"..." The system realized what it had said and silently backed down.
Jiang Chuyi was distracted by the system's words. He kept stirring the bowl with his spoon for a long time, but he didn't even bring it to his mouth. He Sizhao immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Chuyi shook his head and scooped a mouthful of mashed potatoes into his mouth.
Soft, salty and fragrant, still so delicious.
Jiang Chuyi's mood calmed down, and he replied to the system nonchalantly, "He Sizhao was more useful when he was still alive. I didn't deliberately want to save him."
Even though the system's storage is full of complaints, I dare not say a word now.
For Jiang Chuyi, who has evolved to his complete form, crushing it to death is as easy as He Sizhao picking vegetables. How could he dare to touch the tiger's tail?
The system backed off, but Jiang Chuyi was still a little unhappy. She didn't expect that the weak emotions left by the original body would have such a big impact on her.
She had never experienced the warmth brought by humans, and she had never needed such a thing from the beginning to the end. Only her weak original self would pray and yearn for such feelings.
She just... felt very comfortable living with He Sizhao and the others, that's all.
Seeing that Jiang Chuyi didn't say anything and looked unhappy, He Sizhao showed some anxiety between his brows. He glanced at Su Mo, and the two of them exchanged glances quickly.
While He Sizhao was washing dishes, Su Mo quietly walked into the kitchen.
He deliberately closed the door.
"I've contacted the Military Region General Hospital. They said that if we want to mobilize those precious medical resources now, we need Wen Changchuan's authorization." Su Mo lowered his voice, "We can't avoid this person no matter what."
"I didn't mean to avoid him." In the absence of Jiang Chuyi, the coldness in He Sizhao's eyes was obvious to everyone. Even if he was just washing dishes, it made people feel that he was wiping the deadly weapon in his hand.
"There are many suspicious points about him. It will take quite some time to clarify. I wonder if Xiaoyi and Uncle can wait." Su Mo's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of worry. Noticing that the pressure around He Sizhao had dropped another degree, he rarely looked at him with a worried look. "Brother Zhao, I know you're under a lot of pressure right now. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
"You know what I need you to do. Xiaoyi is sick now and I can't trust anyone else. You are the only one who can do it."
He Sizhao put the washed bowls into the cupboard and wiped his hands gently with a towel. Under his bent cuffs, his arms were slender and strong, with several scars on them.
He looked straight at Su Mo.
"Su Mo, the current headquarters is no longer safe for us. I need a promise from you."
Su Mo gently lifted the long hair in front of her eyes and tucked it behind her ears, her expression calm: "I have already given you my promise before, don't you trust me?"
He Sizhao shook his head slightly, his voice lowering a little.
"I want you to promise that if I die, you will treat Xiaoyi and take good care of her."
Time fell into a momentary silence.
Su Mo's hand froze before it even dropped from his ear. His eyes flickered, and he deliberately used a lighter tone: "It's not that serious now. When did you become so unconfident?"
He Sizhao stood still, a fierce look gradually emerging in his amber eyes.
"Can you do it?"
The ease in Su Mo's eyes faded, and he stood in front of him like a man and a soldier, extending his hand to him.
"I promise to put Xiaoyi's life first and do my best to protect her and take care of her."
He Sizhao's tense expression slowly relaxed, and he also stretched out his hand and shook Su Mo's hand tightly.
When they came out of the kitchen, they acted as if nothing had happened, and the room outside was bustling with activity.
For several months, everyone has been carrying out their mission, exhausted, either resting on the ground in the open air, or lacking this or that, and facing constant life-threatening danger.
Now they are in the safest place in the world, with plenty of food, water, electricity, and brothers who will live and die together. Their nerves suddenly relax, and everyone is so happy that they forget everything else.
The whole hall was noisy. Wuyi and Cheng Wei were playing cards, and someone was watching a video on TV. This was something I hadn't experienced in a long time. It was a normal life.
"Boss! Su Mo! Come play a round!" Wuyi extended his hand to greet him, then his expression immediately changed. "Cheng Wei, are you cheating? Why did you win again?"
"I didn't..." Cheng Wei defended innocently.
Su Mo readily agreed to join the game.
He Sizhao's eyes swept around the room and he soon discovered that Jiang Chuyi was curled up on the sofa, watching TV seriously.
And the person sitting next to her is... Ji Xia?
He Shizhao paused for a moment, then raised his leg and walked over there.
After walking over, he found that although the two people were sitting side by side on the sofa, the distance between them was very far... It should be said that Ji Xia deliberately sat far away from Jiang Chuyi.
Jiang Chuyi was curled up in the left corner, which was filled with cushions. She hadn't moved since she sat down, while Ji Xia was sitting in the rightmost corner, looking very serious and nervous.
He Sizhao sat down in the middle of the Chu River and Han River, looking around and asking: "What are you talking about?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Chuyi made a lazy sound from his nose, without moving his eyes away from the TV, obviously not listening.
"No, we didn't talk about anything." Ji Xia suddenly became stern.
With He Sizhao joining in, Ji Xia obviously relaxed and his shoulders were no longer so tense.
He quietly moved his butt towards He Sizhao.
Through He Sizhao's shoulder, Ji Xia carefully glanced at Jiang Chuyi's focused profile, with a somewhat conflicted look on his face.
"Major General He, can I ask a question?" He Sizhao nodded and asked, "It seems that Miss Jiang was not there when you left the base? Where did you meet her?"
Jiang Chuyi seemed to be watching TV seriously, and the tip of his ear moved slightly.
"I met her on the road." She heard He Sizhao say, "It's very dangerous for her to be out there alone. I'm worried."
Ji Xia looked as if he had swallowed a stink bug.
"Is that so..." he said, "Do you have any..."
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Jiang Chuyi suddenly turned around, staring at him with dark eyes. "If you have something to say, just say it all at once. Why are you talking so much? Are you trying to test your father?"
He Sizhao and Ji Xia were both stunned.
Maybe he suddenly remembered what Jiang Chuyi had complained about before, saying that Ji Xia looked at him like a tadpole looking for its mother, and now it calls itself its father...
He Sizhao felt his cheeks getting hot, but he didn't show it. He just said non-seriously, "Xiaoyi, you can't curse."
"I don't curse people, I only curse pigs." Jiang Chuyi turned around.
He Sizhao's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and he looked at Ji Xia: "Xiaoyi's upbringing is different from others. She doesn't understand the meaning of many things I say. Please don't mind it."
The corners of Ji Xia's mouth twitched: "I see."
He Sizhao asked: "What did you want to ask just now?"
"Nothing." Ji Xia said with a wry smile, "I just think Miss Jiang doesn't look like Captain Lian. Although she is beautiful, she has no ability to protect herself. I am worried that you will encounter difficulties on the way."
"As for making things difficult, there certainly are, but do you think we're pushovers?" Wuyi hadn't noticed when he left the card game and squeezed in between Ji Xia and He Sizhao, grinning, "Anyone who dared to go after Xiaoyi and Sister Lian would be wiped out."
"Why don't you play your cards anymore?" He Sizhao asked.
"I'm done playing. It's boring." Wu Yi's face instantly fell, and he looked angry and accusing. "That Su Mo guy is a monster! After he came in, he played a round every minute on average. Either he or Cheng Wei won. I can't stay at this table for a moment."
"Nothing, just say it's your own fault. Don't look for reasons from others when you lose." Su Mo also came over and sat down on the sofa on the other side of Jiang Chuyi.
After everyone finished playing cards, they gathered together and started laughing and joking.
"Keep your voices down." Jiang Chuyi missed a few lines and was a little dissatisfied. "You're disturbing me while watching TV."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then the decibel level dropped a lot.
In such a lively atmosphere, He Shizhao's indifference seemed particularly obvious.
He was sitting next to Jiang Chuyi. Jiang Chuyi could sense that beneath his calm exterior, he was hiding some kind of emotion as hot and intense as magma, but he just kept it to himself. This kind of repression was not something that most people could endure.
At this time, Lu Qianzhi suddenly appeared in the hall. Seeing that everyone was in front of the TV, he walked over.
He returned to his room after finishing his meal just now. Apart from Lian Riqing who didn't feel well and didn't come out to play, he was the only one who didn't stay with everyone.
"Major General He." He came straight to his destination. "I want to ask, what happened to Zhou Chao?"
The noise of laughter died down, and the sound of Jiang Chuyi's TV became the most obvious background noise.
"Why are you asking this again suddenly?" He Sizhao looked up calmly.
"After the quarantine is over in a few days, I need to report to the teacher about what happened during this period." Lu Qianzhi said, "Before I left, the teacher specifically asked me to find Zhou Chao. Now that he is not here, I have to give him an explanation."
"As I said before, you don't have to worry about this matter." He Sizhao said, "After I get out, I will personally report to Marshal Wen."
"But now I want to know what happened to him." Lu Qianzhi did not back down this time. "At least when the time comes, I will stand in front of the teacher and I won't be clueless."
"Chao Ba?" Jiang Chuyi vaguely heard a familiar name and turned his attention away from the TV.
"Chao Ba?" Lu Qianzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise, "Does Xiaoyi also know Zhou Chao?"
"Him..." Jiang Chuyi still had a deep impression of the annoying person. A look of disgust appeared on her face. Just as she was about to speak, He Sizhao's voice drowned her out.
"He's dead." He Sizhao's tone remained calm, but the words he spoke were earth-shattering. "I killed him with my own hands."
Not only Lu Qianzhi, but everyone else also looked stunned.
There are only a few generals who can speak in the entire base. The fact that General Zhou sent out multiple military and civilian teams to search for his son in a high-profile manner is no longer a secret in the base. Everyone basically knows that he had a son in his old age and regards his only son as a treasure. Anyone who dares to touch him will be broken by him.
And now, He Sizhao actually said... he killed Zhou Chao?
Except for a few members of the special forces, everyone else was dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute, this is a big deal." Cheng Yi's voice began to stutter. "Everyone knows that General Zhou is arrogant and domineering, not a kind leader like Commander-in-Chief Wen. Now his only child has been taken away by Major General He... He will not let Major General He go."
Lu Qianzhi didn't expect to get such an answer, and his face turned unclear.
"Yes, he's dead." Jiang Chuyi said, "He was very annoying, so I asked He Sizhao to kill him. What's the problem?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became even more subtle.
Everyone at the headquarters had basically heard about what kind of person Zhou Chao was. This arrogant second-generation rich kid had forced countless girls to death before the end of the world. If it weren't for his father's powerful influence, he would have been unable to suppress the situation long ago.
Looking at Jiang Chuyi's appearance, it is not difficult for anyone with a brain to guess why Zhou Chao was killed by He Sizhao.
"It has nothing to do with Xiaoyi. Killing Zhou Chao was my own decision." He Sizhao said firmly. He looked at Lu Qianzhi, "If you want to explain to Marshal Wen, just say it was me. Don't involve anyone else."
"But, how could this be..." Lu Qianzhi's face looked a little ugly. He looked at Jiang Chuyi, then at He Sizhao. For the first time, he was struggling between his respect for the teacher and his personal feelings.
"Perhaps we should think about how to say this." Su Mo winked at He Sizhao and said meaningfully, "Things are different now."
"No need." He Sizhao said coldly, "Just say what you want to say. I didn't intend to hide this matter. It won't affect anything."
"Brother Zhao..."
Su Mo was about to say something else when Jiang Chuyi suddenly spoke.
"He Sizhao, calm down."
She reached out and touched He Shizhao's forearm, where the muscles were tense and hard as rock.
He Sizhao was slightly shocked and lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Chuyi.
"You're in a mess." Jiang Chuyi looked at him with his dark eyes. "He's just a piece of trash. Just kill him. It's not necessary."
Something flashed in He Sizhao's eyes, but after Jiang Chuyi placed his hand on him, a sense of coolness suddenly spread in his heart, and the fever in his body immediately subsided.
"But... that's General Zhou." Lu Qianzhi deliberately looked away. "How could you treat his son so casually?"
"No, do you really not know the identity of Major General He?" Ji Xia showed a hint of confusion.
Faced with everyone's even more confused gazes, Su Mo sighed helplessly.
"Think about it, what's the last name of the missing person?"

Ahhh, I did the nucleic acid test today and didn't notice the time, so I was a little late QW□□Q
