Chapter 102 Search and rescue team, set off!
The eastern sky was a faint orange-yellow, and rays of sunlight slanted down on the misty morning fog, coating it with a layer of golden halo. The icicles inlaid on the lake were slender and transparent, and sparkled under the sunlight.
A wisp of cold wind blew in the face, lifting the strands of hair in front of his forehead. A snowflake hung on his long and curly eyelashes. Jiang Yunqi blinked and raised his hand to gently wipe it off.
Inside the car, someone muttered, "It's so cold, why open the window?"
The driver sitting in the driver's seat glanced at the rearview mirror, his face full of excitement.
Gu Bingchen didn't even open his eyes. He grabbed Jiang Yunqi's somewhat cold hand and sneered when he heard this: "You feel cold? Then get off the car."
"Why?" The man was actually wearing very thick clothes and was a hot-tempered fire-type mutant. This little temperature would not have much effect on him. He was just not convinced...
"Because I'm your captain, just keep it to yourself." Gu Bingchen opened his eyelids and looked at the man who turned his head in front of him, his eyes calm.
Gu Bingchen naturally did not miss the looks that some people were looking forward to the show. He yawned slightly and said in a flat tone: "We are all thousand-year-old foxes, what's the point of playing Liao Zhai? I don't care how you curse me in your heart, just don't say it out loud for me to hear. I have a bad temper. When I get angry, I don't know what I can do. If you don't believe me, you can come and try."
Inside the minibus, the air was stagnant and a little depressing.
Another car window was opened, and a cold wind carrying air conditioning blew in, blowing away the depression in the car. The woman put on a woolen hat, pressed down her short hair that was blown up by the wind, and knocked on the glass window with her red nails, smiling, "Didn't Governor Song tell you who these two people are?"
The team members looked at each other and shook their heads. Governor Song only said that the captain of the search and rescue team was his good friend and they had to obey their orders along the way. Because of time pressure, he didn't have time to say anything else.
The smile on Shangguan Xian's face became brighter and brighter. Her slender fingers first fell on Gu Bingchen: "This person is an S-level gold-type psychic and a space-type psychic."
"This one." Her fingertips suddenly traced Jiang Yunqi's facial features in the air, "This person is amazing, but he is an S+ space-type psychic."
"To be the leader this time, he should be...more than qualified."
Gu Bingchen's eyes fell on Shangguan Xian's fingers, and a layer of coldness appeared in his eyes. He really wanted to chop off this person's fingers.
As if she had sensed Gu Bingchen's murderous intention, Shangguan Xian's eyebrows were curved, and there was no fear on her beautiful face. Instead, she stretched out her tongue and licked her fingertips provocatively.
! ! !
"Me!"
Gu Bingchen, who was about to explode, stood up without thinking, but was stopped by Jiang Yunqi beside him.
"Don't stop me, I have to chop off this woman's hand!"
Jiang Yunqi rubbed Gu Bingchen's knuckles with his fingertips and soothed him, "She did it on purpose, don't bother with her."
"But she just..."
That action was really erotic!
"Ah Chen." Jiang Yunqi leaned close to Gu Bingchen's ear and whispered softly. As for what he said, only the two parties knew.
Chu Wanyue glanced at Gu Bingchen's red ears with her peripheral vision, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Gu Bingchen coughed twice, clenched his left fist, and pressed the corner of his lips to suppress the smile that could not be suppressed: "You said it, don't lie to me!"
Jiang Yunqi said helplessly: "I won't lie to you."
There are 12 people in the search and rescue team this time. Gu Bingchen and Jiang Yunqi only brought Chu Wanyue and Long Yilan, and the rest stayed at the base.
Among the remaining members, in addition to Shangguan Xian and Jie Diyu, who had met once, there was also Fu Qingfei, who had previously detected the level of superpowers at the side door. He was the only one who did not participate in the quarrel just now.
The young man sitting in the co-pilot's seat was called Cheng Le, with pale lips and blue eyes. It was obvious that he had not recovered from a serious illness. His role in this trip was to lead the way.
Cheng Le covered his mouth and suddenly coughed violently. Jie Diyu stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Have you taken the medicine today?"
"Cough cough cough, still... cough cough not... cough cough cough." Cheng Le's breath was very weak, and he coughed halfway through every sentence.
A milky white ball of light condensed in Jie Diyu's palm. The light was warm and soft. As soon as it sank into his forehead, Cheng Le's condition improved a lot, and his pale face became rosy.
"Doctor Jie, it's just a minor illness, you..."
Cheng Le knew that Jie Diyu never treated people easily, especially for such minor physical ailments. He rarely took action. According to the young man, his supernatural power was to be reserved for the injured people, not to become a life-saving doctor for the powerful.
"It's urgent to save someone this time, and it's only once." Seeing Cheng Le's embarrassment, Jie Diyu returned to his seat.
Cheng Le said cherishingly: "Thank you."
Shangguan Xian was more familiar with Jie Diyu, and just as she was about to rub the boy's soft hair, he dodged to the side: "Captain Shangguan, what are you doing?"
Seeing the boy's eyes full of vigilance and alert, Shangguan Xian was not unhappy at all, but wanted to tease him: "Song Shinan and Jie Lanhui actually allowed you to go on a mission?"
Jie Diyu was always gentle and distant in front of outsiders. He said: "Saving people is such an urgent matter, Song Shinan and my aunt will understand me."
"Oh wow, it turns out that little Diyu ran away secretly~"
"No!" Jie Diyu retorted.
He just pretended to go home in a huff after Song Shinan sternly refused him.
What do you mean by sneaking away?
He got on the car right under Song Shinan's nose.
Jie Diyu calculated the time. Song Shinan and his aunt should have known that he had left the base, but now they had been walking for most of the day, and they would definitely not be able to catch up.
Thinking of the member who was sent away by him with an excuse, he felt a little guilty.
"Let me change seats with you." Jie Diyu patted the shoulder of the person in front of him. He wanted to change seats and didn't want to sit with Shangguan Xian.
It was not that he had any opinion on Shangguan Xian, but he just felt a little guilty.
The person in front immediately nodded in agreement, and Jie Diyu moved to Fu Qingfei's side. This green-haired young man talked a lot and couldn't stop chatting. The car was filled with his voice, occasionally accompanied by a few responses.
The scenery outside the car window gradually became desolate. They bypassed the crowded highways and national roads. In order to save time, they took the less crowded county roads and rural roads. Although there were more detours, they were much faster than the highways full of abandoned cars.
After a day and a night, they finally arrived in Yan City.
Yan City is a prosperous city adjacent to the Imperial Capital, so many zombies here have been cleaned up by the superpower team and the army.
Cheng Le looked at the night outside the car window, and a trace of worry and panic passed through his eyes.
No one expected that the zombies on the ground had been cleaned up, but there were tens of thousands of zombies hidden underground.
And they were not ordinary zombies.
Thinking of those ugly and horrible zombies and the team members whose lives and deaths were unknown, he always had a stone hanging in his heart. He held the soft bread in his hand, but he couldn't eat it.
The car was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of the self-heating hot pot. Shangguan Xian suddenly lost her appetite for the instant noodles in the bucket. She looked eagerly at the dinner of Gu Bingchen and the other three.
Xie Diyu smelled the pungent and dry aroma of chili peppers and couldn't help swallowing his saliva frequently. Long Yilan glanced at the boy across the aisle, chewing the dry and fragrant tofu in his mouth, and asked vaguely: "Do you want to eat it?"
"I... I don't want to, thank you." Xie Diyu turned his head away with difficulty. His body did not allow him to touch those irritating foods. He lowered his eyes and looked at the cold porridge and side dishes in his bowl, crying silently in his heart.
Fu Qingfei was thick-skinned, and the only dry food he brought was bread. He propped up half of his body, leaned on the back of the chair, and said to Gu Bingchen and the others, "Can I exchange my crystal core for a box of self-heating rice?"
Chu Wanyue nodded, "Of course, 15 crystal cores."
"Oh my god! So cheap?" Fu Qingfei asked Chu Wanyue to get him some clean water, and then took out 30 crystal cores from his backpack, laughing heartily, "15 is too cheap, it feels like a meal for free, I'll give it to you according to the price in Dijing."
Gu Bingchen naturally took the crystal core, and it was a good deal.
Fortunately, the fragrance of this box of self-heating rice was not so overbearing, otherwise Jie Diyu would regret sitting next to him.
As if sensing Di Yu's resentful gaze, Fu Qingfei glanced at him and noticed the white porridge in the boy's bowl without a speck of oil. He felt a little sorry for him. While the self-heating rice was not ready yet, he turned his head and asked, "Do you have any lighter food? I can buy some more."
His small treasury could still support his wanton spending.
Gu Bingchen actually found a lot of packages of quick-frozen dumplings from the inventory in the space. They were placed in the freezer and not eaten much. Looking at the time, they would expire in more than half a year.
In order to help others to the end, he also provided a portable gas stove.
After Fu Qingfei paid for the crystal core, he put his self-heating rice on the seat, volunteered to walk to the more spacious area of the minibus, and cooked a bowl of dumplings.
"Doctor Jie, have this. It's more nutritious." He held a large bowl of dumplings and handed it over. The aroma filled his nose.
Although Jie Diyu had expected this, he was still a little surprised. The steaming dumplings were so hot that they made his spikes soften a little.
"Thank you." Jie Diyu didn't waste the small bowl of porridge. He quickly finished the porridge and then started to taste the dumplings in the bowl. They were filled with corn and pork and tasted very good. "Very delicious."
Fu Qingfei's green hair was blown by the wind, revealing a silly smile on her face.
Neither of them noticed that a female member sitting in the front had a faint gloom in her eyes. Her long hair was tied up with a shark clip. She looked ordinary and had a mottled birthmark on her face. She was a space-based esper in the team.
She was also the maid who had taken care of the young master of the Xie family.
