Chapter 120: Revenge is needed.
She stood on the steps of the flower bed and looked around. Almost no one dared to look at her.
This is the effect of killing first and reporting later. It is to make these people who are angry about losing their superpowers immediately shocked by the lives that disappear in an instant before their eyes, and to nip in the bud any signs of collective resistance.
Living is not easy. After working so hard to keep alive until now, who would want to die so easily?
Shu Lan walked down, and the crowd automatically moved aside, allowing her to walk smoothly to Jing Hongyu.
"Come with me."
Jing Hongyu followed helplessly. His special powers were gone, so he had no choice but to obey.
From time to time, he turned back to look at the fourth brother, who was dangling from the tree trunk tied by vines. He looked reluctant and said hesitantly and carefully, "Commander Qin, can you..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shu Lan knew what he was going to say and refused decisively: "No."
If it were anyone else, Shu Lan wouldn't have explained, but because it was Jing Hongyu, she added a few more words: "This kind of person who thinks everyone else is drunk and he's the only one sober is annoying to listen to. If I don't come, are you guys not going to District 9 anymore? You have to divert the hatred that should be directed at me onto Ji Lan."
Jing Hongyu was stunned. Following her reminder, he recalled what the fourth brother said and gradually reacted.
It seems so.
As soon as the fourth brother spoke, everyone forgot Qin Xiaoshuang's main identity, ignored Ji Lan's contribution of asking for support regardless of past grudges, and regarded her as an accomplice and treated her as hostile.
Shu Lan found a place away from public view and jumped on the spot to relieve her frozen feet. "Other people can go to District 9. There's no need for those who love to sow discord."
"No, him, I want him to correct his attitude and turn over a new leaf!"
Shu Lan looked at him like he was a fool: "Jing Hongyu, you two have been friends since college. After all this time, you still haven't figured out his character?"
Jing Hongyu was stunned: "How did you know?"
Shu Lan pulled down her mask, revealing her features, and sarcastically said, "How should I know? Every time I see you, he's always sarcastically calling me a runaway bride. He tells me to go home and marry an older man when you're not around, and not to play Cinderella in front of you to get your money. It's hard for me to forget such a double-faced person."
The appearance of Shu Lan at the age of 25 is not much different from that of Shu Lan at the age of 16, except that she is more beautiful. The keyword "runaway bride" directly awakened Jing Hongyu's memory.
She was a girl who ran away from home to escape marriage, choked on a steamed bun at the entrance of the high-speed rail station, worked hard, studied hard, and was positive and motivated...
He stared at her features and blurted out, "Little——"
Shu Lan interrupted him: "Shuang, I am Qin Xiaoshuang now. I know you are shocked that I am still alive, but don't try to make those sentimental reunion scenes after a long separation, and don't reminisce with me about the past. Just shut up and digest the facts slowly."
Jing Hongyu suddenly had many questions to ask her: How did she survive after losing contact? Why did she suddenly change her name to become the famous human inner traitor leader Qin Xiaoshuang? Where did this boy with mysterious powers come from?
But after Shu Lan had been a commander for a long time, the orders he spoke were irresistible. His strong aura blocked Jing Hongyu's exclamation, and he could only reveal his inner excitement with his surprisingly bright eyes.
"Then I'll call you Xiaoshuang from now on. Xiaoshuang, I'm sorry for putting you on the wanted list before."
Shu Lan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "There's nothing to be sorry about. They tried to take advantage of me, so I killed them. I'm wanted for murder, so this is all natural. But if I knew there was a superpower that could read the memories of the dead, I would have taken the body away and dumped it in a river."
"you……"
Shu Lan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
He spoke of murder and corpse disposal as a matter of course. He must have been exposed to too many dark things just to survive.
The burned area on Jing Hongyu's face was itchy. He raised his hand to scratch it and said, "That's good. Revenge is needed. You must have heard of my name later. Why don't you come to District 15 directly to find me? If you come, I will definitely protect you!"
Shu Lan's eyes swept over the place where he scratched. The burn was very severe. The scars were not only on his face, but also spread from his neck to his collar. It was estimated that other healing ability users would not be able to cure it in a short time.
"You're the only one who's in such a miserable state yourself."
Jing Hongyu's face turned red with anger: "...That's right."
Shu Lan laughed and asked, "Jing Hongyu, do you still remember that you gave me ten thousand yuan?"
"Remember, but money is something that no one would pick up if you threw it on the ground. It's not important, so don't take it too seriously."
Shu Lan shook her head gently. "It was very important to me at the time. Not only did I deceive you with my name, but even the story of running away from marriage was a lie. And yet you were willing to give me money without even checking my background. Tell me, aren't you stupid?"
Jing Hongyu was already dazed. "Ah? You lied to me all the time? Not a single word of truth?"
Shu Lan's smile deepened: "Maybe, I forgot too."
She lowered her head and said to Shu Maomao, "Baby, can you help Mommy heal his injury?"
Shu Lan didn't want Shu Maomao to feel like a tool, so every time she wanted to use her supernatural powers, she would try her best to ask for his consent and tell him that he had the right to refuse if he didn't want to use it.
Shu Lan's parents never asked for her opinion. They gave birth to the child if they wanted to and left the child alone after that.
So when she gave birth to her child, she decided that she wanted to be the kind of mother she most wanted to have as a child.
Every process of raising Shu Maomao with care is also healing her own childhood.
Shu Maomao had no objection and stretched out his hand to place it on the back of Jing Hongyu's hand. Jing Hongyu was caught off guard by the contact with the little boy who had been a little scared before. He subconsciously took half a step back and felt the warm current of the healing ability taking effect into his body. He quickly stabilized himself.
"When you helped me before, you told me that five thousand yuan was just a pair of brand-name shoes for you. Calculating the principal and interest, I owe you three pairs of brand-name shoes."
As Shu Lan finished speaking, three brand new shoe boxes appeared at Jing Hongyu's feet, which were covered in dust and mud.
The healing was over, and the shoes that had been promised were given to him. Shu Maomao withdrew his hand and put it back into his pocket.
Seeing the horrific scars on his face being covered by new flesh and restored to his original appearance, Shu Lan said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, I'll return it to you. I don't owe you anything."
Jing Hongyu raised his hand and touched the injured area, staring at her blankly: "Xiao Lan..."
Shu Lan's face turned stern: "Call me Commander."
"Commander, I never felt that you owed me anything. I helped you voluntarily. But can you give Old Four another chance?"
Shu Lan pulled Shu Maomao and turned away, "No need to talk."
Jing Hongyu picked up the shoebox and ran after her: "If you leave him here, he will starve to death."
"Oh? Then why did he drive away with someone else this morning, leaving you, his good brother, behind? Ji Lan said that based on her understanding of that man, he was most likely the one who instigated the abandonment of the patient from the very beginning, and you always believed his words."
Jing Hongyu: “…”
Shu Lan taunted, "You don't know how to judge people. Go ask someone else what your good brother looks like. Don't talk nonsense to me. I have to go distribute food and cook."
Under the gaze of all the survivors, the streets that Shu Lan walked through were filled with lush green cabbages.
The cabbage looks very good, with white jade-like roots that are clean, and each one has no dead leaves or dirt. It is beautiful like a perfect work of art.
Another street was filled with plump potatoes, and the last street was filled with rice and boxes of seasonings neatly stacked like a city wall.
The expressions of resentment, suspicion, evasion and fear gradually changed. The people in District 15 stood in front of the window on the street corner, staring at the food as if they had seen a miracle, with their mouths opened into a circle and unable to close for a long time.
Jing Hongyu, who was following behind Shu Lan, repeatedly confirmed: "You mean we can eat all the ingredients in one meal?"
Shu Maomao stood in front of Shu Lan and obediently let Shu Lan hold his warm little face in her hands to keep it warm.
Shu Lan nodded: "Eat, make sure everyone gets to eat."
They can only be counted in the number of people accommodated if they eat the food produced by the space. She is still waiting to see what the reward is when the number breaks through 50,000.
