When Jiang Chuyi saw Wuyi, his head started buzzing.
"Calm down," she said as she got out of the car. "There's nothing wrong with our ears. We can hear it."
Wuyi chuckled, then frowned, looking worried. "Xiaoyi, aren't you going for chemotherapy today? I thought you wouldn't be back until tonight."
"I'm fine to begin with, I don't need to do that." Jiang Chuyi said, "What big news do you know?"
"Oh." Wuyi immediately beamed with joy. "This is truly great news! If you knew, you'd be just as excited as I am!"
Jiang Chuyi: "Even if I told you we were having chicken legs tonight, you would probably still be this excited."
His eyebrows drooped unintentionally.
Jiang Chuyi found it funny and reached out to pinch his face.
Wu Yi was as if he had seen a ghost. After a look of astonishment, he looked at Jiang Chuyi with a silly smile: "Hey, Xiaoyi, what are you doing?"
Before he could even finish the sentence "If you like pinching me, I'll come over and let you do it every day", someone grabbed him by the back of his neck.
He shuddered subconsciously, turned his head, and met He Sizhao's cold eyes.
"Are you done with the nonsense?"
"That's all," Wuyi said, quickly putting on a serious face and bowing as he was being lifted up. "I'm here to report!"
These two people really have a comedic effect no matter how you look at them, and Jiang Chuyi was amused.
Seeing her smile, both of their expressions relaxed.
"Come in and talk." He Sizhao put aside his thoughts and turned to open the door.
I started talking non-stop as soon as I walked in.
"Boss, didn't you ask me to go to the neighboring Black Town to investigate the situation and deliver some supplies? I went, and just as they reported, they were indeed being robbed by zombies. The situation... isn't terrible either."
"How far is that black town from here?" Jiang Chuyi asked.
"It's only about three or four hours' drive, so I left yesterday afternoon and should be back this morning," Wuyi replied casually, continuing on with the previous topic. "It was tragic, but their walls were breached. It was obvious the zombies had put in a lot of effort, intending to attack the city. But it wasn't too tragic, because apart from the town's fertilizer, they really didn't lose anything else, not even a single person died."
Jiang Chuyi still had questions to ask: "Since they are so close to here, why don't they just live here? This place seems much safer."
There is a reason why the main base is known as the safest survivor base in the world because of the military garrison and strict management.
"The main base's resources are limited, so we can't recruit all the survivors indefinitely," He Sizhao said. "Besides, not everyone is willing to leave where they grew up. Heixiang Town is very close to the main base, so in the event of an emergency, the main base can quickly send support. There are several small bases like this nearby for this reason."
Jiang Chuyi curled his lips.
As for the place where she grew up, she wanted to be as far away from it as possible.
"So yesterday's text message was true, and the zombies really only robbed... the fertilizer?" He Sizhao looked at Wuyi, his voice rarely hesitant.
"Yes, not many people grow flowers in Heixiang Town. Even if they grow vegetables, some people still use them. Most of the supplies were piled up in the warehouse, taking up space. Suddenly, they were robbed, so they had to clean out the warehouse." Wuyi also looked puzzled. "Of course, they still took all the supplies."
Jiang Chuyi felt inexplicably guilty and looked away.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, because they really couldn't figure out why the zombies would behave in such a strange way, so they had to give up for the time being.
He Sizhao asked, "What's the big news you just mentioned?"
"Oh, right!" Wuyi slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot... Boss, guess who I received the message from?"
He Sizhao's eyebrows twitched, and Jiang Chuyi's words continued: "Wen Xi?"
Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Jiang Chuyi with admiration: "Xiao Yi, how come you are so amazing? Why do you know everything?"
"..." Jiang Chuyi was speechless for a moment, "I guessed."
Because of her original identity as a "cook", she had a very deep memory of Wen Xi. She hadn't seen her since she came back, and she knew without a doubt that she must still be carrying out some mission outside.
She just didn't know if there were other teams out there, and she only knew Wen Xi, so she just guessed her.
"Xiaoyi is really smart." Wuyi praised sincerely, "If he could go to school, he would definitely be a top student."
"Don't go off topic."
Because he was worried about bringing up Jiang Chuyi's sadness, He Sizhao immediately interrupted Wu Wu's irrelevant words.
"What news did Wen Xi and Su Heng send back?"
"Well, the message they sent back was encrypted. Due to distance limitations, they could only transmit it to the nearest base, and then pass it on layer by layer to the main base. When I went to Heixiang Town, they happened to receive the signal, but the zombies destroyed the signal tower when they were robbing the fertilizer, so they transmitted it directly to me."
I accidentally lowered my head to press the communicator.
"Boss, I'll transfer it to you."
He Sizhao also took out his communicator, and Jiang Chuyi tugged at his sleeve: "I want to see it too."
He Sizhao turned aside, and Jiang Chuyi put his head closer, but only saw garbled characters all over the screen.
"...What are you talking about?" Her eyes became round.
He Sizhao looked stern, while Wuyi was obviously very excited. She had no way of judging whether the news was good or bad based on their expressions.
Although I don't mean to say it's good news...but who would believe him?
Perhaps he had read Jiang Chuyi's thoughts when he said, "They've discovered the true lair of Shouli Tea House! And Long Pengfei himself is very likely there. This time we can catch them all in one fell swoop. As long as the leader is gone, the other bastards won't be able to cause any trouble."
"No intention!" He Sizhao said sternly.
She reflexively covered her mouth with her hand, looked at him in panic, and then looked at Jiang Chuyi.
He regretted it belatedly.
The reason why he was so excited was that the target he had been sniping was finally exposed, and thinking that Jiang Chuyi was also a victim, he couldn't wait to share it with her.
However, he forgot that to them, the teahouse was just a target, but Jiang Chuyi was actually persecuted by him and had more than ten years of his life stolen from him.
Wu Yi almost cried: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yi..."
He cried, but was met with a confused look from Jiang Chuyi.
Long Pengfei...who?
The system couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "He's the boss of Shouli Tea House in the original story! You've even met him face to face!"
Jiang Chuyi thought about it carefully. Although he still couldn't remember his face, at least he remembered this person.
Then why are you crying?
Jiang Chuyi nodded blankly: "Oh, I caught you... That's good."
As a result, Wuyi really burst into tears, and cried very hard with snot and tears.
Jiang Chuyi: ? ?
She didn't know that her confused look seemed to others to be the most sorrowful thing in the world.
When a person suffers from some kind of severe persecution, and the source of the persecution is suddenly resolved, he or she will be unable to react for a while, and always feel that it is not real. She is now perfectly embodied in this mentality.
He Sizhao pursed his lips, his voice filled with obvious murderous intent: "Gather the team members and prepare for action."
"Yes!" Wuyi answered loudly with sobs.
This shout woke Jiang Chuyi up: "Wait, where are you going?"
"According to the information sent by Wen Xi, they are in Shuidao Village, not far from the main base. However, the trip back and forth plus the operation will indeed take several days." He Sizhao looked at Jiang Chuyi, his eyes filled with reluctance. "Xiaoyi, I will send you back to the main hospital later. I will feel much more at ease with Su Mo taking care of you."
"We've been tracking them for so long, but we never imagined their biggest lair would be right under the nose of the main base!" Wuyi wiped away tears and said bitterly, "They're so bold! I wonder if they can still act so arrogantly now."
"Su Mo isn't going?" Jiang Chuyi ignored the noise and said, "I want to go with you."
"Professor Wang is short of manpower, so Su Mo was left behind to help research viral antibodies." He Sizhao answered her question first, then put his hand on her shoulder. "Xiaoyi, I don't want to be separated from you even more than you do, but it will be safer for you to stay at the base."
"I don't care about safety." Jiang Chuyi glanced at him sideways, her chin raised, as if she wouldn't listen to anything you said. "He Sizhao, have you forgotten the consequences of leaving me alone? Are you sure Su Mo can keep an eye on me?"
He Sizhao raised his eyebrows slightly. Is she threatening him?
Although he knew that Jiang Chuyi was capable of doing it, Su Mo was busy and indulged Jiang Chuyi to the point that he might not be able to keep an eye on her.
When he spoke, his voice was angry, funny, and had a hint of sweetness.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Have you ever seen me feel this way?" Jiang Chuyi asked back, "And I want to see Long Pengfei die with my own eyes."
In the original plot, Long Pengfei was killed by Lu Qianzhi as a small boss. Although the person who killed him now became He Sizhao, it was still a famous scene and she didn't want to miss it.
Hearing her say this, the smile in He Shizhao's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by solemnity and decisiveness.
"Assemble teams one, three, four, five, and seven. Give everyone an hour." He Sizhao said, "Also, have Su Mo's second team transferred to the main hospital. While we're away, his place will be an easy place to break through."
"Got it!" Wuyi responded decisively, jumped up and rushed out of the courtyard.
"Xiaoyi, come with me to the armory." He Sizhao's voice was much gentler when he faced Jiang Chuyi. "Since we are going to take action, we must be fully prepared."
"Hmm." Jiang Chuyi agreed, but was actually secretly reading the original plot.
She focused on the part where Lu Qianzhi attacked the teahouse's lair, and according to what was written above, she extracted the important information bit by bit and read it to He Sizhao.
"There should be three third-level awakeners, one who controls water, one who controls earth, and..." Jiang Chuyi frowned. Seeing a third-level awakener appear but not knowing what kind of talent he has, she was so anxious that she frantically flipped through the plot.
Before she could turn over, a hand covered her head and held her tightly in a stiff embrace.
"That's enough." He Sizhao's suppressed voice sounded above his head, "You don't have to force yourself to dig up the pain and recall these things. Believe me."
Jiang Chuyi paused. Although she didn't feel any pain, since He Sizhao said so, she was too lazy to bother.
Believe in He Shizhao, she has become very skilled at this.
The special forces' operational efficiency was unmatched by ordinary people. In less than fifteen minutes, He Sizhao's voice rang out over the communicator: "Boss, assembly complete."
He Sizhao replied with a yes, put the last batch of weapons into Jiang Chuyi's space, and touched her head: "Let's go."
On the edge of Midtown, a row of black cars were parked behind rows of people in black combat uniforms. They wore explosion-proof helmets and glasses, and looked fierce and awe-inspiring, attracting the attention and discussion of all passers-by.
Jiang Chuyi saw from a distance a slender figure standing at the front of one of the lines. It was Lian Riqing.
Seeing He Sizhao's car approaching, everyone stood at attention and shouted, "Captain!"
"Team One is assembled!"
"Team Two is assembled!"
…
"Team Seven is assembled!"
He Sizhao got out of the car and nodded to everyone: "Get ready to go."
"yes!"
Everyone agreed loudly, but before they got in the car, they saw a... lazy figure sitting in the passenger seat of He Shizhao's car.
The black hair and white dress have become the symbol of a certain unspeakable young lady in the base.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes became indescribable.
When I came back, I had to bring this young lady with me. Now I have to go on a mission again. Why does the boss still want to bring her with him?
Could it be that it is just like this... inseparable and inseparable.
Wuyi quickly jumped over and said, "Boss, I'll drive! You and Xiaoyi can sit in the back."
Jiang Chuyi didn't care. She reached out her hand to He Sizhao and asked him to hold her and change position.
The convoy set off slowly, from the central city to the outer city, and left the base smoothly.
"I hope we have better luck and don't run into the wave of zombies that robbed the black town before." Wuyi whistled. The long-lost freedom made his expression excited.
"Destroy them if you encounter them." He Sizhao was looking at the communicator and said lightly after hearing this.
Jiang Chuyi silently contacted Xiao San and asked them to leave the main base and take the necessary road to Shuidao Village.
"I didn't expect you to bring Xiaoyi here, Boss." Wuyi looked at the silent Jiang Chuyi in the rearview mirror, "Xiaoyi, why aren't you talking? What are you thinking about?"
"Looking for a mistress." Jiang Chuyi blurted out.
Both of them: ...?
