Chapter 60: Beaten

For some unknown reason, the tasks Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu have received have been increasing in recent days, to an astonishing degree. When they asked Gu Huaishan the reason, they were told that the camp simply could not mobilize more people to share the work.

"Oh, I'm really tired... I feel like my body is completely hollowed out every day." Jiang Xianchuan collapsed on the bed, powerless and even speaking seemed very difficult. Just today, he killed more than 50 zombies by himself. Such high-intensity battles put tremendous pressure on his body and mind.

Li Lingyu on the side gently kneaded his wrist with a distressed look, and said softly: "I'll help you do a few more tomorrow." However, Jiang Xianchuan quickly shook his head and refused: "No, no, your task is not easy to begin with, I can't cause you any more trouble."

Hearing this, Li Lingyu's gentle eyes dimmed instantly, and he asked with a hint of disappointment in his tone: "Why do you always have to be so polite to me? Do we still need to be so distant from each other?" Jiang Xianchuan quickly explained: "I definitely don't mean to be distant with you, I'm just worried that I'll tire you out."

While the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Jiang Xianchuan got up and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Shi Yi standing outside with a red and swollen face. Jiang Xianchuan was shocked and asked with concern: "Shi Yi, what happened to you?"

After meeting Jiang Xianchuan, Shi Yi finally found someone to rely on. He could no longer suppress his inner grievances and burst into tears, choking and saying, "It was Zheng Jun who beat me..."

Hearing this, his chest heaved violently, and his hands were clenched into fists as hard as iron. Due to using too much force, the joints turned slightly white, and the veins on his arms bulged out like a bunch of wriggling earthworms.

He clenched his teeth and let out a deep and angry roar: "What? He dared to hit you? Tell me, what's going on?"

Shi Yi looked aggrieved, her eyes slightly red, and she sobbed as she said, "Today, a new colleague quietly told me that Zheng Jun always bullied her and even sexually harassed her. At first, I didn't believe it at all, thinking it might be a misunderstanding or someone was deliberately trying to sow discord. But then the newcomer produced solid evidence, and I was furious when I saw it, so I decided to go to Zheng Jun to discuss it. Who knew that we would start to quarrel, and the quarrel became more and more fierce. In the end, I had no choice but to tell Qi Xiaoyao about it. After Qi Xiaoyao understood the situation, he severely punished Zheng Jun. I thought the matter was over, but when I was planting vegetables outside by the flowerbed, Zheng Jun suddenly ran over and punched and kicked me without saying anything. "

After listening to Shi Yi's story, Jiang Xianchuan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. Without saying a word, he suddenly pulled Shi Yi's hand and strode towards the direction where Zheng Jun was, shouting angrily as he walked: "Come on, I'll teach this bastard a lesson for you!"

Soon they arrived at where Zheng Jun was. Jiang Xianchuan didn't even look at him. He raised his leg and kicked Zheng Jun hard without thinking. There was a dull bang, and the defenseless Zheng Jun flew several meters away like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Jiang Xianchuan rushed to Zheng Jun who was lying on the ground, raised his right foot and stomped on his chest mercilessly, making him unable to move.

Zheng Jun's face turned red and his breathing became rapid, but Jiang Xianchuan had no intention of loosening his foot. He glared at Zheng Jun under his feet fiercely and shouted angrily: "How did he hit you at that time? Now you hit me back!"

When Shi Yiyi got here, he raised his hand and gave two loud and clear slaps without saying anything. The slaps seemed neither light nor heavy, but they were actually full of strength. Jiang Xianchuan, who was standing by, slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Zheng Jun's collar, his fierce eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

He raised his hand and slapped Zheng Jun twice with all his strength. In an instant, two muffled sounds were heard and Zheng Jun's cheeks became red and swollen. Then, two streams of bright red blood flowed out of his nostrils like a flood.

"Who gave you the guts to touch my friend? It seems you really picked the wrong person this time!" Jiang Xianchuan said angrily. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked Zheng Jun in the stomach.

Zheng Jun was caught off guard. After suffering such a heavy blow, his body immediately curled up like a cooked shrimp. He covered his stomach tightly with both hands and let out a painful groan.

However, seeing Zheng Jun in such a miserable state, Jiang Xianchuansi had no intention of stopping. He clenched his fists tightly with veins bulging, and like an enraged beast, he swung his fist towards Zheng Jun's face without hesitation.

Each punch was filled with endless anger and hatred, and he roared as he punched: "Today I will let you know what a miserable end it will be if you bully my friends!"

At this time, Zheng Jun had been beaten so badly that he had no strength to fight back. He could only beg: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! Please spare me!" But Jiang Xianchuan would not listen to him. The anger in his heart was still burning, and his fists continued to rain down on Zheng Jun.

After a fierce fight, Jiang Xianchuan finally felt exhausted. He was breathing heavily and sweat was dripping down his forehead, but his eyes were still staring sharply at Zheng Jun who had been beaten terribly in front of him.

At this time, Zheng Jun had a bruised face and his clothes were tattered, but he was still pretending to be strong: "I'm going to sue you... just wait..." Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan just laughed coldly and said disdainfully: "Go ahead, who's afraid of you." Then, he turned around and left this place of trouble without looking back.

Jiang Xianchuan and his two companions walked away gradually until they were sure that they would not be bothered by Zheng Jun anymore. Then they stopped and found a nearby bench to sit down.

Li Lingyu saw that Jiang Xianchuan's hands were numb because of the fierce battle just now, so he quickly reached out his hand to gently massage him, and said distressedly while kneading: "Does it hurt?" Jiang Xianchuan pretended to be relaxed and teased: "My hands are numb, I'm just pretending. But it's worth it to teach that guy a lesson."

At this time, Shi Yi's mood was obviously much better. She looked at the two of them with gratitude and said sincerely: "Thank you so much for today." Jiang Xianchuan smiled and waved his hand, responding: "We are all friends, why are you so polite! If someone dares to bully you in the future, I will not let him go!" The three of them smiled at each other, and the warm sunshine sprinkled on them, as if making this true friendship even more brilliant and dazzling.

"Boss Qi! You must take care of Jiang Xianchuan! That kid is simply lawless and acts recklessly!" Zheng Jun glared at Qi Xiaoyao with hatred on his face, feeling aggrieved and unwilling.

Just now, he was severely beaten by Jiang Xianchuan, and Qi Xiaoyao, as their boss, actually came to him at the first opportunity.

I was originally happy to think that Qi Xiaoyao would vent his anger for me, but I never expected to hear such a cold sentence: "The public area in the camp is a bit dirty, you go and clean it up."

When Zheng Jun heard this, he immediately became anxious. Pointing at the bruises on his body, he said in a crying voice: "But Boss Qi, look at all the injuries on my body..." However, before he could finish, Qi Xiaoyao interrupted him impatiently: "Time waits for no one." After saying that, a hint of coldness flashed across his expressionless face like ice.

Seeing this, Zheng Jun was unwilling in his heart, but he dared not say anything more. He could only compromise helplessly. He gritted his teeth, picked up the cleaning tools from the ground, and staggered towards the camp, enduring the severe pain in his body. As he walked, he kept cursing: "Damn Jiang Xianchuan! I'll take note of this account. I'll see how I kill you in the future!"

Arriving at the public area, Zheng Jun looked at the mess in front of him, and his anger grew stronger. He vented all his anger on the broom and rag in his hands, sweeping the floor vigorously and wiping the tables and chairs, as if these things were Jiang Xianchuan himself.

Every time he swung the broom and wiped the table, he would secretly swear in his heart that he would make Jiang Xianchuan pay the price.

"Help me give this to her." Qi Xiaoyao handed a small and exquisite box to Bai Su with a serious face.

Bai Su took the box, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed a meaningful smile: "Oh, you are here to punish Zheng Jun and deliver the medicine. I say, Xiao Yao, if you really care about him so much, why don't you deliver it yourself?" As he spoke, he gently shook the box in his hand, as if he wanted to peek into the secret inside.

Qi Xiaoyao did not respond to Bai Su's teasing, but remained silent, his eyes slowly moving to the design drawings on the table regarding the planning of the public areas of the camp.

His eyes were focused and deep, as if his thoughts were completely immersed in the drawing. However, from his furrowed brows and pursed lips, it could be seen that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Seeing that Qi Xiaoyao ignored him, Bai Su shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I know you're a weird person. I'll help you with this trip, okay?" After saying that, he said no more, turned around and walked towards the door.

As his footsteps faded away at the end of the corridor, the room returned to silence. Only Qi Xiaoyao was still sitting quietly at the table, staring at the design drawing, thinking.

"Why did you want to clash with them?" Gu Huaishan stared at the wounded and battered Zheng Jun with wide eyes and an angry face. He was angry and helpless. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only sigh and shake his head and said, "Look at you now. Is it worth it?"

"It's because that guy named Shi Yi went too far, he was simply bullying us too much!" Zheng Jun gritted his teeth and said hatefully, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was blue and purple.

"Even if you hate me again and again, you can't act so impulsively! We have a plan, and you've messed up the plan by doing this. What should we do next?" Gu Huaishan frowned and complained worriedly.

After hearing this, Zheng Jun felt regretful, but he still refused to admit defeat: "I was really angry at the time..."

"Alright, alright, now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying any more." Gu Huaishan interrupted Zheng Jun, sighed deeply again, and then said slowly: "Qi Xiaoyao has already come to me. This matter is too big, and I have to come forward to resolve it. You remember this, you must never be as reckless and impulsive as you were today, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" After that, Gu Huaishan turned and left, leaving Zheng Jun standing there alone.

Later, the news that Zheng Jun was removed from his position as squad leader and was punished to do hard labor for a whole month spread like wildfire and instantly spread throughout the camp. Everyone sighed after hearing the news, but they also understood that it was his own fault.

Gu Huaishan stood in front of the crowd with a serious face and said: "I hope everyone can learn from this and never do such evil things as bullying your companions again! We are a collective and should support each other and make progress together instead of hurting each other!"

At this time, Zheng Jun came to Shi Yi with his head down and said humbly: "I'm sorry, little sister, I was too impulsive at the time, so I made such a mistake."

However, Shi Yi just glanced at him coldly, rolled his eyes, and turned away. It was obvious that Shi Yi would not accept Zheng Jun's perfunctory and insincere apology.

Not only that, when he saw the slightly unwilling look on Zheng Jun's face, Shi Yi keenly realized that he was not aware of the mistakes he had made at all. That kind of stubbornness and unwillingness to accept seemed to be engraved between his brows, allowing people to see through his inner thoughts at a glance.

At this moment, seeing Shi Yi turning around and leaving without hesitation, completely ignoring him, Zheng Jun stomped his feet in anger.

He clenched his teeth, his cheeks puffed slightly with anger, his eyes stared fiercely at Shi Yi's receding back, and cursed in his heart: "Hmph, this ignorant little girl, how dare she ignore my existence in front of so many people, and doesn't give me any face at all! Well, in that case, don't blame me for being rude! Just wait and see, I will do my best to make you pay an extremely painful price for what you did today! No matter how much time and energy it takes, I will never let you go easily!" After saying these cruel words, Zheng Jun still stood there, his chest heaving violently, and it was obvious that his anger had not subsided yet.
