Chapter 33 Zhenzhen
The house had been shattered by lightning, with a huge hole in the roof and the furniture scattered everywhere, charred and smoking.
"Sister...sister..." Another girl lay on the ground, struggling to crawl towards the door. Her clothes were still intact, just a little charred, and there was a faint sound of friction from the electricity wherever she walked.
The lightning just now must have been caused by her.
Jiang Zhan ignored her and walked straight towards a collapsed cabinet next to her. A cyclone rolled in, and a man's body appeared before the three of them.
The man had been struck by lightning and was completely charred. His entire body reeked of roasted meat, and his original appearance was unrecognizable. However, Qiao Yu recognized the watch on his wrist, indicating that he was the last of the three men.
Jiang Zhan obviously had no intention of letting him go. He used the same method to cut the man's body into pieces.
Cheng Sinian secretly gasped at the side. What deep hatred could Jiang Zhan have so brutally scalped, not only skinning two people alive but also whipping the corpse of the last one? But judging by Qiao Yu's expression, it must be related to her. Could it be that these three people had offended her before?
Before Cheng Sinian could figure out anything, Qiao Yu stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Zhan, "Zhan...it's okay now, let's go."
Jiang Zhan looked back at her, his eyes full of cruelty, ferocity and pain.
Qiao Yu's nose felt sore. Although she didn't know how he knew, she didn't ask. She just hugged him tightly and said softly, "They're dead, so it's over. Let's go home."
Jiang Zhan tightened his arms, holding her in his arms for a long moment before softly letting out a "hmm." He then took her hand and walked towards the parking spot, never once glancing at the woman on the ground.
The girl in the house had already crawled outside. She lay on the ground, struggling to hold the girl outside, crying hoarsely, "Sister... Sister... Wake up, look at me..."
Qiao Yu walked to the car and finally couldn't help himself. He pretended to take two pieces of clothes, a bag of bread and two bottles of ordinary mineral water from the car, gently placed the things next to the two girls, and then left silently.
When he turned around, Qiao Yu heard the girl whisper, "Thank you."
Qiao Yu paused, but didn't look back.
The next day, when they passed by, Qiao Yu took a look. The door to the house was open, the two men's bodies were still there, and the ground was covered with dried blood, but the two girls were gone.
Qiao Yu sighed. In troubled times, beauty becomes a sin.
I thought the matter was over, but three days later, when Qiao Yu just went out, he found a bag hanging on the gate of the villa, and the bag was filled with crystal cores.
Qiao Yu took out the crystal cores and counted them. There were twelve in total. It was easy to guess who had given them to him.
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, "That girl is a person who knows how to repay a favor."
Qiao Yu didn't say anything, just sighed and put the crystal core away.
So in the next few days, they received more than a dozen crystal cores every morning, but no one was seen.
After collecting crystal cores for a week, Qiao Yu finally couldn't hold back anymore. Jiang Zhan sensed her location and came to her house.
The other party actually moved to a villa on the mountainside.
"Is there something wrong?" The girl opened the door and looked at them across the courtyard gate, asking softly.
"Have you moved here?" Jiang Zhan said before he came. She was the only one here, which meant... her sister was dead.
"...There's some food and water here. I saw no one here, so I just..." She was silent for a while, and her voice became softer.
"Don't get me wrong, we're not here to seize territory. We just want to ask you why you're sending us the crystal core."
"Crystal core?" She looked a little confused. "Are you talking about that white stone?"
"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded.
"Aren't you... collecting that thing?" Seeing that Qiao Yu didn't say anything, she continued, "I saw you collecting that... I, I know you probably don't need my help, you fight much faster than me... but I don't have anything else to repay you except this..."
Qiao Yu smiled softly, extended her hand through the railing, and said formally, "Hello, my name is Qiao Yu, Qiao as in Qiao Mu, and Yu as in Huai Jin Wu Yu. What's your name?"
The girl was stunned, and somewhat flattered, she shook Qiao Yu's hand and said softly, "Hello, my name is Luo Zhenzhen." After a pause, she added, "The peach tree is young and lush, and its leaves are lush... Zhenzhen."
"Zhenzhen, what a nice name." Qiao Yu smiled, then took out a crystal core and held it in front of her. "This thing is called a crystal core. It can help aliens quickly recover their depleted energy. It's very useful for aliens."
Luo Zhenzhen was stunned. "Stranger?"
Qiao Yu nodded, retracted his hand, and continued, "It's for people like you who have special abilities. Place the crystal core in the palm of your hand, concentrate on integrating it into your body, and you can absorb its energy. I don't think many people know about this yet. After all, no one would have the leisure to search the minds of aliens. We only found out about it by chance. Think of the crystal core you sent me earlier as a trade for that day's supplies and today's news. We're even now. You can keep any crystal cores you receive in the future."
Qiao Yu paused, a look of melancholy on his face, "I'm sorry about your sister, but you still have to live. Your abilities are great, as long as you practice more and be more vigilant, you shouldn't live too badly." Qiao Yu gave her an encouraging smile, "That's it, goodbye." Then he turned and left.
The three of them walked to the car and were about to get in when they suddenly heard Luo Zhenzhen calling them from behind: "Wait..."
Qiao Yu turned around and saw Luo Zhenzhen running towards her quickly, reaching out as if to grab the edge of her clothes. But before she could touch her, Jiang Zhan pulled Qiao Yu tightly and held her in his arms. His eyes were dark and he stared at Luo Zhenzhen with warning, like a wild animal defending its territory. The aura of danger was very obvious.
Luo Zhenzhen seemed to be frightened by him. Her face turned pale and she stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
"A Zhan..." Qiao Yu gently patted Jiang Zhan's arm around her waist. Jiang Zhan then silently let go of her and held her hand instead.
Qiao Yu smiled gently and asked Luo Zhenzhen, "Is there anything else?"
Luo Zhenzhen finally came back to her senses. She clenched her palms nervously, looked at Qiao Yu with a hint of pleading, and asked softly, "Can I...can I follow you?"
Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard that, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at her calmly.
