Chapter 198 Please be kind
"It's Doctor Ouyang, and that guy called...what's his name? The one who can breathe fire."
Xiao Li's answer made Qiao Lan feel a little disappointed.
Then I despised myself. It's not good to be in love, hey!
"That one's called Zhao Hui. She's the one that breathes fire from her armpits, right?"
"Yes, Sister Lan, it's him!"
Did Ouyang Mo come running from the base in the middle of the night? This place is several kilometers away from the base. Worried about his safety, Qiao Lan hurriedly followed Xiao Li out of the abandoned building and went to the street to greet him.
When they met, they found that only Ouyang Mo and Zhao Hui were there.
“…It’s really Miss Qiao! Oh my God, Miss Qiao, why are you using mutant beasts to keep watch at night? It’s so scary!”
Doctor Zhao Hui screams when she sees him.
"Stop shouting, be careful not to attract nocturnal mutant beasts." Xiao Li reminded.
"You, the night watch rat leading the way, are nothing more than a nocturnal mutant beast... Hey, get that thing away from me! Look at its bloodthirsty red eyes! How terrifying!"
Zhao Hui was shouting excitedly, but her voice was not loud. She tried hard to control the volume. It seemed that her safety awareness was good.
"That's not bloodthirstiness. The mouse's eyes are red once the mutation stabilizes. They only change color after upgrading. This is the most well-behaved one. You see, it won't bite you at all."
While explaining, Xiao Li picked up the little mouse that led the two of them and handed it to Zhao Hui.
This is one of the most outstanding animals among the trained animals. It took the initiative to bow to Zhao Hui to show its friendliness.
In return, Zhao Hui screamed and suddenly jumped onto Ouyang Mo, holding him tightly and refusing to let go.
Even Qiao Lan, who was in a very bad mood, was made happy by him.
"Why are you still so useless? Don't you often participate in field combat?"
Let Xiao Li get rid of the mouse quickly.
Seeing that Ouyang Mo and the other man were unharmed, Qiao Lan felt relieved. She stepped forward and pulled Zhao Hui off Ouyang Mo. He was still carrying a large bag, and with the bag and the man on top, Ouyang Mo was about to fall to the ground.
Zhao Hui complained, "I... I've been very brave, but this journey has been so... so scary!! There are so many mutants and zombies! And there was a big flower. Oh my god, it had such a big mouth, it almost bit my head off!"
As he spoke, he began to cry.
I was really scared.
"It was indeed dangerous on the road, but thanks to Xiao Zhao, we were able to escape unscathed." Ouyang Mo greeted Qiao Lan and asked with concern, "Are you all okay? Is it okay living here?"
The dark, dilapidated buildings and broken walls cast heavy shadows in the moonlight. It was damp and cold, giving people a very uneasy feeling, as if a mutant beast would suddenly jump out from any corner. Ouyang Mo looked around with a grim expression, thinking that Qiao Lan was being wronged by living in such a place.
Qiao Lan took the big backpack from Zhao Hui and led the two of them inside.
"What's going on? What are you doing out here? The people at the base wouldn't even chase the doctor away, would they?" she joked. "Are you hungry? Do you want a midnight snack? I have burgers here."
"Eat!" Zhao Hui answered quickly.
Qiao Lan fished out two burgers from his coat pocket and handed one to each of them. Zhao Hui picked one up and started chewing on it, grumbling, "I'm really hungry. I'm so tired from fighting all this time."
Ouyang Mo thanked Qiao Lan and handed his burger to Zhao Hui. "I'm not hungry. You've worked hard protecting me all the way."
"It's not hard... Then, I'll really eat it then?" Zhao Hui finished a hamburger in a few bites and took Ouyang Mo's to eat as well.
Entering the room where Qiao Lan and the others were sleeping, Ouyang Mo saw a small fire providing warmth and light. The floor was covered in mats, and a room full of people sprawled out in a huddle, soundly asleep. The conditions were slightly better than those of other survivors he had seen along the way—many people were too afraid to light a fire at night and lacked mats to sleep on.
But he felt that with Qiao Lan's ability, she could have lived in a better place. It was all because the base had expelled her at the last minute, leaving her in such a desperate situation.
Ouyang Mo became annoyed when he thought of the shouting crowd during the day.
"After you left, some people did say that I was complicit in your actions by protecting you, and they wanted to kick me out," he said, answering Qiao Lan's question. "But the base management disagreed and reprimanded the people who kicked me out."
Since the management could suppress the people who drove him out, why didn't they make the decision on Qiao Lan's behalf? Was it because Ye Qi was injured by Qiao Lan's people and he was holding a grudge? Ouyang Mo despised this kind of treatment that didn't distinguish right from wrong.
"I've resigned from the base's medical station. From now on, I'll be following you." He whispered, smiling pleadingly, "I hope you don't mind and will take me in."
Qiao Lan was surprised.
He was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything.
Ouyang Mo said: "I can help you treat your injuries and see a doctor. Xiao Zhao can also do it. He is still awakened and his fighting ability seems to be okay." Except that it is a bit noisy.
"Qiao Lan, do you think we are qualified to stay in your team?"
"If you refuse to take us in, then there's no way we can go back to the base and we'll just end up living on the streets."
"So, please be kind."
Qiao Lan sniffed.
Hi, I was actually touched!
It was a horrible day, so frustrating. Dr. Ouyang seemed to be a breeze blowing away the clouds, bringing sunshine to her.
He clearly supported her morally and protected her physically, and was clearly a great help. In the apocalypse, no matter what group, they all needed doctors—but he had to speak so humbly...
When did Dr. Ouyang, who is diligent, serious and stubborn, learn to joke?
"Qualified, very qualified. Thank you Ouyang, thank you Doctor Zhao!"
Qiao Lan nodded vigorously, took out two small bottles of mineral water from his pocket and gave one to each of them.
She didn't know how to thank him for this support.
Ouyang Mo didn't hesitate this time. He took the water, drank two sips immediately, then tightened the lid and carefully put the water into his pocket.
Water resources are precious in the apocalypse, and what Qiao Lan gives is even more precious.
