Chapter 12: Reunion with an old friend
"Damn, where are those bastards?!" In front of the very weak gate at the entrance of the village, the blonde woman was furious. The long knife in her hand was so powerful that the zombies that were walking slowly fell at her feet. She spoke in a cold and arrogant voice, "You are just a bunch of trash, right? I was a woman who dominated the empire in the past. I killed countless insects. It's a piece of cake to deal with you~"
The pretty girl who was fighting with her in the group of corpses almost fell down on the spot. Her eldest brother started to act like a middle school student again.
What empire, what insects, it's simply too shameful.
There are about a hundred zombies in this group. They must have been attracted by the smell of strangers in the village.
Fortunately, they were all low-level zombies. Even if they didn't come back, Ji Heng could solve them by himself with more effort and time.
Thinking of Ji Heng, the blonde woman put her hands on her hips, looked around, and said in a flash: "Where is that little pervert Ji Heng? Huh? Is this how he guards the village? Doesn't he have a mouth? I'm asking you, speak up!"
People who were rushing over from the other side of the village stopped in their tracks, not daring to look up at Ji Heng's expression. Needless to say, his face was livid.
"Wow, who is this? He looks so fierce." Tang Yichao rushed to the front, pushing through the crowd to see the excitement.
Standing in the middle of the zombies, the woman had long wavy golden hair, a hot body, was about 1.8 meters tall, had honey-colored skin, and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. She looked heroic, and even the wrinkled and torn clothes did not look bad on her. Instead, they made people feel that this was a new fashion.
As a child from the south, Tang Yichao rarely saw such a tall girl. He turned around to call his teammates over, but saw that their non-staff member Jiang Yunqi had a complicated expression.
It seemed like he was excited, but also like he missed her.
"Long Yilan." Jiang Yunqi's whisper drifted to the blonde woman's ears along with the breeze, and she looked up.
Gu Bingchen, who was standing next to Jiang Yunqi, clearly saw the woman's peach blossom eyes widen, and she quickly ran over, surprised and delighted: "Admiral!!"
Long Yilan's word "Admiral" focused everyone's attention on Jiang Yunqi.
Is he an admiral?
But he seems to have never been seen in the news.
Is he from abroad?
With black hair and black eyes, he doesn't look like one.
Not only Gu Bingchen, but everyone who heard this was very surprised. The one
who reacted the most was Tang Yichao, who opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it. How could
this non-staff member be so powerful? !
Jiang Yunqi suppressed all his emotions and smiled, "Alan, long time no see."
"Long time no see, boss." After more than ten or twenty years of getting along, the two had a tacit understanding. Without Jiang Yunqi's reminder, Long Yilan immediately knew what not to say. Her smile was bright and cheerful, "Interesting, isn't it? I recently read a comic book, and your temperament is exactly the same as the admiral in it, so I made a joke. You are not scared, are you? Hahaha."
Long Yilan's nonsense was getting more and more mature. It has been a long time since I saw her so lively.
"No." Jiang Yunqi shook his head.
It turned out to be fake? I really thought it was that kind of big shot.
Everyone withdrew their burning gazes and began to clean up the scene.
"You, come here!" Long Yilan's excited emotions gradually calmed down. He caught a glimpse of Ji Heng sitting in the chair without saying a word, and said with a cold face, "Why are there only two people in the whole village? Where did the others go?! If I come back a little later, the gate will be broken down by zombies, do you know that?"
Changing his previous look of shouting and killing, he lowered his head and dared not speak.
The little girl with the scar on her face tugged at Long Yilan's sleeve, her eyes round: "Sister Long, we know we were wrong."
"We really owe you." Long Yilan picked up the little girl and walked in front, "It's so late, come on, boss, I'll take you to a safe place to reminisce."
After that, she turned her head and glanced at a group of villagers pretending to be ostriches: "Are you still not leaving? You want me to invite them one by one, right?"
"Those who are nimble, dig out the crystal core for me, and the rest of you, go back to your homes, and come to see me at 'Shanzhen Farm' tomorrow morning. No one is allowed to be left behind, you must be there!"
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you will really go to heaven."
Chu Wanyue's eyes moved slightly, Shanzhen Farm? Isn't this their mission target? It's easy to get.
This blonde woman might know something.
Shanzhen Farm has three floors, and the yard is the largest in the village. There are many fruits and vegetables planted in the fields, but now they are all withered.
Long Yilan put the little girl down, unlocked the door, pushed open the yard door, and called others in. Then he took out a clean rag and wiped the redwood chair in the middle carefully, and said to Jiang Yunqi: "Boss, sit here."
Then he walked to the other side.
Jiang Yunqi: "Don't bother so much, I'm not that picky."
Hearing this, Long Yilan laughed out loud: "Are you sure?"
Except when fighting the Zerg on the front line, on weekdays, who doesn't know that General Jiang loves cleanliness the most.
"No need to do that. Besides, this is the seat you should sit in." Jiang Yunqi picked a chair and sat down.
Seeing this, Long Yilan sighed helplessly: "Okay."
No one else could interrupt the conversation between the two. Gu Bingchen stared at the floor, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes that he didn't even notice.
"Well, Sister Long, can I call you this?" After the two stopped talking, Tang Yichao asked, "Did you see a particularly beautiful boy in this farmhouse? He looks like this."
Chu Wanyue cooperated and handed over a one-inch photo.
"No." This boy has a very distinctive appearance, as beautiful as the male Omega there. If she had seen him, she would definitely remember him.
Long Yilan stretched her slightly sore arms, raised her chin slightly, motioned for them to look outside the yard, and said, "When I came here, there was a very ugly creature here. It was black and rotten, and it ate many of the surviving villagers."
Jiang Yunqi and the others looked in the direction Long Yilan was looking. The wooden fence of the yard seemed to have been collapsed by some giant species. There were several large footprints on the yellow mud, and a piece of black fur was hung on the window. After a few days, the pungent stench was no longer there.
Long Yilan stepped forward, took off the fur, spread it on the table, crossed her legs, and said, "This is a ferocious black rabbit that eats people. It is said that rabbits will bite people when they are angry, but I have never seen a rabbit that eats people. My ribs were almost broken by the kick."
Anyway, the rabbits she saw in the books of the Empire were gentle and cute.
"Ah? Ah?!" Tang Yichao touched the black fur and couldn't believe it, "Is this really a rabbit?"
According to her, this black rabbit should be an alien animal, and its level is not low. Maybe this is the reason why the danger assessment is very high.
"Of course, why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask him." Long Yilan brought the topic back to Ji Heng, "Tell me, are you going to kill people again?"
Ji Heng turned his face away, not wanting to talk, and there was nothing to say.
"Hey, you little bastard." Long Yilan was so angry that she grabbed the broom beside the chair and was about to swing it. Seeing this, the disfigured little girl hurriedly stopped him.
"Sister, don't hit Brother Heng. If you want to hit him, hit me."
Long Yilan grabbed the girl and put her on her lap. She raised her hands to ravage the girl's hair that was dry and yellow due to malnutrition. She gritted her teeth and snorted, "Xiaoyi, you think I won't hit you, right? Don't think I don't know that the drug in Ji Heng's hand must have been given to him secretly by you. You are all so rebellious."
Ji Heng stiffened his neck and refused to bow his head. His eyes were red again and again. To be honest, he was still a college student who had not yet entered the society.
Cui Zhan, who was squatting at his feet, turned his head and whispered to comfort him, "Don't cry."
"Who is crying!" Ji Heng glared at Cui Zhan.
"Ji Heng, didn't I tell you that if you want revenge, just go to that Mei base and find the person in charge? Why do you always want to vent your hatred on innocent people? How is this different from the group of people you hate?" Long Yilan was like a nagging elder who didn't want her child to go astray by getting stuck in a dead end. Her consistent principle is "every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor."
Ji Heng clenched his fists on his knees and raised his eyes. There seemed to be tears in his bloodshot eyes. His pale lips were bitten to bleed. He shouted at Long Yilan, "Do you think I don't want to?!"
Then, he staggered away with a cane, leaving behind a stubborn back.
Cui Zhan wanted to help, but he pushed him away fiercely: "Get lost! I don't need your sympathy!"
"Ms. Long, Ah Heng just can't accept it..." Cui Jingping covered his face and shed tears silently. It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they just haven't been heartbroken yet.
Thinking of his wife, children and parents who died without a complete body, the tall man leaned against the wall and slowly squatted on the ground, unable to suppress his sobs.
Long Yilan also felt uncomfortable and her throat was dry. She was not good at comforting people, so she could only say dryly, "My condolences."
Cui Jingping sniffed, wiped his tears, stood up, walked to Jiang Yunqi and the others, bent 90 degrees, and said in a hoarse voice, "What happened today is my fault. I'm sorry."
"Whether you forgive me or not, please don't be cruel to Ji Heng." When the villagers were unarmed and almost surrounded and bitten by zombies, it was the enthusiastic but thin young man who saved them. If it weren't for him, even if they had escaped the bombing, they would have died under the fangs of the zombies.
Xiaoyi's face was also wet with tears, and he said in a sobbing voice: "Brother Heng has always been very good... no matter before or now."
Even if he was speaking harshly and mercilessly now, they would not take it to heart.
"Do we... look like murderers?" Tang Yichao felt sorry for these villagers and sympathized with Ji Heng, but this was not a reason for them to be accused. Don't make it seem like they are cruel, okay?
Chu Wanyue squatted down, gently wiped the tears from Xiaoyi's face, and said softly: "Good baby, don't cry, we are just here to look for someone."
The living room was left to Chu Wanyue and the others. Jiang Yunqi patted Long Yilan's shoulder and pulled her out of her daze.
"Let's talk."
"Okay."
The deep eyes reflected two figures that matched each other very well, and Gu Bingchen smiled slightly.
Tang Yichao rubbed his arms, and felt a chill on his back. He looked to the side and saw that it seemed that the boss was emitting cold air, and the air pressure was extremely low...
He slowly moved away.
