Chapter 106 Brother Ye and the Little Girl
"Captain Ye."
Ouyang Mo, who was facing the door, was the first to greet Ye Qi.
There was porridge in his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, he choked and couldn't help coughing.
"Why……"
Qiao Lan subconsciously leaned back while holding the bowl of porridge to avoid the range of the cough.
"How are you? Are you okay? Don't talk while eating."
She took out a small bottle of mineral water from her pocket, opened it and handed it to Ouyang, letting him drink a few sips to suppress his cough.
Then he turned to look at Ye Qi, "You should come and visit Doctor Ouyang as well. He is indeed seriously injured. The wound on his arm needs further observation. After all, some mutant beasts have poisonous claws. I don't know if he has been poisoned."
He then took out a small bottle of mineral water and threw it to Ye Qi.
The moment Qiao Lan leaned back to avoid it, Ye Qi's mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
Is this girl a germaphobe? I never noticed it before.
When Ouyang Mo coughed, her first reaction was to avoid him, and then she showed concern, which explained the problem.
This means that she and Ouyang Mo are not familiar with each other, not close, and not serious about each other.
Well, investigators are good at finding problems in details.
Taking the small bottle of water that Qiao Lan threw to him, Ye Qi put it in his pocket and said, "Thank you."
In the past, he usually refused the extra water Qiao Lan offered him, as he had been with the base through thick and thin. But now that Ouyang Mo had already drunk it, he couldn't refuse Qiao Lan's kindness, since they were all people Qiao Lan had saved. If he didn't drink it himself, he could give it to the injured in today's battle for extra water.
"Your cheeks are red, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Ye Qi walked closer to the bed and looked at Ouyang Mo.
Ouyang Mo coughed for a while, and his internal organs ached. He lay down weakly, and his pale face made the two blushes on his cheeks more obvious.
"It's caused by coughing..." the doctor said weakly.
You blushed before you coughed, was the porridge hot? Ye Qi swallowed the words and didn't say anything.
After all, he is an injured person and an important medical member of the base, so let's not provoke him.
"How does the wound feel?" Ye Qi was indeed concerned about Ouyang Mo's injury and asked carefully.
After finishing the conversation with Ouyang Mo and putting him to bed to rest, Ye Qi and Qiao Lan left the ward together.
"Aren't you here specifically to visit Dr. Ouyang?" Qiao Lan noticed that Ye Qi was a little absent-minded in the ward.
Ye Qi said: "I came to see you and visit him by the way."
Then he's mainly looking for me. Qiao Lan knew he probably had something to discuss: "What is it?"
Ye Qi didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Some owners don't agree to enter the base. But in the next few days, I predict those thugs will come again."
A trace of irritation flashed across his cold face.
There were secret passages in the medical center and in nearby houses. The base had to investigate whether there were any other secret passages in the neighborhood. So as soon as the battle was over, he sent people to investigate house by house, looking for possible dangers in houses that were not part of the base.
Of course, the process was chaotic. The owners did not agree, and the guards used tough measures.
That’s not all. Ye Qi had no psychological burden about breaking into people’s homes and knocking on doors to conduct investigations.
Because that is to ensure the safety of the base.
But then there was another thing that made him a little annoyed. No, it was very annoying.
He did not show his emotions in front of his subordinates, but now, when facing Qiao Lan, he did not hide them.
"It's clearly dangerous, so why won't they cooperate? The base's security staff is limited, and it's impossible to protect everyone in an area as vast as the entire community. If they refuse to enter the base, no one can guarantee their safety when the thugs come again. Is obeying the base's management more painful for them than risking their lives?"
He frowned and grumbled.
They sent people to inform the entire community that those owners who had not joined the base should come to the base as soon as possible to prevent the street thugs from attacking them again. The base was preparing to shrink its defenses and would no longer go to the streets to block the rioters, because that would leave the base's internal defenses empty. They couldn't always ask Qiao Lan for help, could they?
However, those who tried their best to notify the owners were scolded and even beaten by almost 90% of the owners.
Not only did those people refuse to join the base, they also used very harsh mocking and insulting words.
Obviously, the base that Ye Qi worked so hard to support did not gain the recognition and trust of those people.
Qiao Lan smiled.
"Brother Ye, do you know that popular saying on the internet back then? 'Give up the need to help others and respect their fate.' Everyone has their own destiny. You can't save everyone."
This was the first time Ye Qi heard this.
I couldn't help but stop and look at Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan's smiling chubby face was covered in dust from work, and it was dirty, like the surface of a dumpling covered in dirt.
It has nothing to do with beauty, but it is quite cute.
She was as cute as a breeze, instantly blowing away the irritability in Ye Qi's heart.
"I'm nosy." He shook his head and smiled.
The smile was fleeting, full of helplessness and heavy relief.
But in the end I finally came to terms with it.
In this chaotic world, full of natural and man-made disasters, it's so hard to survive. Every individual is too insignificant, and he is no exception, so he can't be the savior.
He himself didn't know how far he could lead the people around him.
He can only save those who are willing to be saved by him.
What could he do about those who didn't want to get close? His abilities were limited, so he could only respect their fate.
He had done this kind of psychological preparation before to convince himself, but he was always uneasy. It was not until this moment that he became firm.
"I'm not being nosy, you're just too kind." Qiao Lan once again stood on tiptoe to pat Ye Qi's shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Brother Ye, things are different now. Keep your sense of justice and responsibility in check and don't let them out. Be a little ruthless, after all, so many people are counting on you to take the helm."
"I know."
Ye Qi instantly felt that the chubby little hand patting his shoulder was full of magic, which gave him a lot of courage and strength.
This is amazing. This female student, who is several years younger than him, is more stable and sees things more clearly than him.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be relying on her a little lately. Whenever he encountered a difficult decision, he would always run to her for advice.
She can really give advice, like a life mentor, even better than his comrades who have been with him for many years.
This is unscientific.
"Why are you calling me brother again?" He didn't like his dependence. It was like he had really become a boy who depended on his sister, and yet she still called him brother.
He was called “little brother” before, and now he is called “brother”... Is he so childish?
"Oh, it's just a casual call. Don't mind the details." Qiao Lan waved her hand indifferently, "You can also call me sister, or elder sister, or aunt, whatever you like."
"Little girl."
Ye Qi was helpless about Qiao Lan's rogue behavior, so he reached out and rubbed her hairy short hair.
"Uncle Geng is calling you."
On the road ahead, Fu Xingyuan stopped a few meters away and spoke to Qiao Lan.
After saying that, he turned and left, as if escaping in panic.
Qiao Lan slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot about the dog!"
The mutant dog that ate the bat is in an unstable state. The old chef is watching over it, making sure nothing goes wrong.
She hurriedly said goodbye to Ye Qi and quickly caught up with Fu Xingyuan.
