Chapter 220 Fate
When Xiang Heng woke up, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room. The room was dark and there was no light on.
Two of his teammates were also lying next to him, but had not yet woken up.
He remembered that he and his two teammates were restrained by the mute Cao using his special powers, and were later knocked unconscious by him.
So now they are locked up by him?
But it doesn't look like it.
Xiang Heng sniffed the faint scent of laundry detergent in the air. Would the conditions be this good if he were locked up?
Xiang Heng didn't have time to think about it. He first checked the condition of the two team members. Seeing that their vital signs were normal, but they were temporarily unconscious, he felt relieved.
Then Xiang Heng mobilized the energy in his body again and found that his supernatural power could still be used, so he climbed up vigilantly and looked around.
Then he saw the girl standing quietly by the door with her head slightly lowered.
"Manman!" Xiang Heng didn't dare to make too much noise, he just called out softly, then hurried over, held the girl's shoulders and shook her gently.
But no matter how he shouted, the girl never responded.
Just then, Xiang Heng heard footsteps suddenly coming from outside the door.
His face darkened slightly. He held the girl behind him and stared at the door without blinking.
The moment the door was opened, Xiang Heng, who was raising his hand to attack, was caught off guard and met Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan outside the door.
"Captain Xiang, you're awake." Qiao Yu held Jiang Zhan's arm and stood by the door frame away from Xiang Heng, looking at him with a smile, as if she had already anticipated his move to attack.
"Captain Qiao? Mr. Jiang?" Xiang Heng was confused for a moment, but then he reacted, "You saved us?"
Qiao Yu smiled again, "We went to the slave market to broaden our horizons and happened to meet you."
Although Qiao Yu said it lightly, Xiang Heng is not a fool.
Under the circumstances at that time, they had already openly clashed with Cao Yaba from Nu City. Those people were not easy to deal with. Just Cao Yaba's sound attack was difficult to withstand. Qiao Yu and the others must have put in a lot of effort to rescue them!
Xiang Heng's heart sank. He took a half step back and suddenly knelt on one knee. He clasped his fists towards Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan and said, "I, Xiang Heng, will always remember your great kindness in saving my life! If you need anything from the Pendulum in the future, please feel free to come to me! I will go through fire and water and I will never refuse!"
Qiao Yu was startled. Why was he kneeling down? He hurriedly tried to help him, but Jiang Zhan held his waist. So he could only helplessly give him a weak hand and said softly, "Captain Xiang, please get up quickly. We are all survivors and have been on a mission together. It can be considered a fate. It is only natural for us to help each other."
Xiang Heng felt relieved when he heard the hint of intimacy in Qiao Yu's words. He said nothing more and slowly stood up.
It is better to do more than to say.
Anyway, he remembered their kindness.
Xiang Heng is a man who will repay a favor. No matter what happens in the future, he must repay the favor of the pendulum!
"Captain Xiang, how do you feel?"
Qiao Yu pulled Jiang Zhan into the room, turned on the light, sat on a chair in front of the table, then raised his hand towards Xiang Heng, motioning him to sit down as well.
"Thank you, Captain Qiao, for your concern. I'm fine. It's just..." Xiang Heng pursed his lips and looked at the girl who had been standing quietly with her eyes closed with some concern. "Captain Qiao, may I ask, do you know what's wrong with Manman?"
"Manman." Qiao Yu repeated softly, then smiled softly, "It's a nice name."
"Yeah." Xiang Heng also forced a smile upon hearing this, "Guan Yang is a well-educated man, and he's quite good at naming."
"Guan Yang?" Qiao Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
They are not unfamiliar with the name Guan Yang.
He was the older of the two Vulture team members who sacrificed their lives to save Professor Kang on Mingxia Mountain.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and looked at the girl standing by the door, "You mean..."
Xiang Heng's eyes reddened slightly, "She is Guan Yang's sister."
"Sister?" Qiao Yu was stunned again.
It wasn't that she was making a fuss.
I just didn't expect the age gap between the brother and sister to be so huge. Guan Yang looked like he could be the girl's father.
And just now Xiang Heng said that the girl's name was given by Guan Yang, so... this can't be blamed for her misunderstanding, right?
Xiang Heng saw Qiao Yu's surprised expression and curled his lips again, "Captain Qiao, did you think they were father and daughter just now?"
Qiao Yu was struck by what he said, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Xiang Heng smiled nonchalantly, "It's not Captain Qiao's fault. It's mainly because the age difference between the siblings is quite large. Guan Yang is sixteen years older than Man Man."
Qiao Yu nodded. "Is Manman also a member of the Vultures? Why didn't I see her during the previous mission at Mingxia Mountain?"
Xiang Heng heard this and the smile on his face faded slightly. "Manman is indeed a member of the Vultures, but she has never registered."
"Because Manman didn't come to the base with us."
Qiao Yu was a little confused. "Did something happen on the way to the base?"
Xiang Heng sighed, nodded, and continued to explain in a low voice: "We are originally from Y City. After the apocalypse, in order to survive, we decided to team up and come to the survivor base in G City."
"When we set out, there were forty-two of us. But when we arrived at the base, there were only twelve left."
"And Manman was one of the thirty people who failed to reach the base."
"When Manman disappeared, we were crossing a dense forest. Guan Yang was in danger, and she was swept away by a mutant plant in order to save him."
"We already knew about the existence of mutants, so we waited there for several days hoping she might be there. But we never saw her emerge from the dense forest. So we all thought she was dead."
"Then how did you find her?"
Xiang Heng sighed and shook his head, "She was the one who found us."
"She came to the base just as we were on a mission at Mingxia Mountain. She found out our address at the base and slipped a letter into our house..."
At this point, Xiang Heng's eyes were noticeably red and moist, and his voice began to choke up: "Fate is really good at playing tricks on us sometimes. Manman finally escaped death and chased me all the way, but Guan Yang..."
Tears as big as beans suddenly burst out.
Xiang Heng's voice was hoarse and desperate.
"Just one more day! Just one more day! If we just wait one more day... Guan Yang and Man Man will be able to meet!"
"Then maybe Guan Yang wouldn't be in trouble! Man Man wouldn't be in trouble either..."
