Chapter 142 Sleeping Beauty
"Get out of here!"
Qiao Lan reached out and pulled the girl away.
"……Ouch."
The girl was caught off guard, her center of gravity was unstable, she took two steps back and fell on her butt.
When he looked up at Qiao Lan again, the tears in his eyes fell down.
"Why did you attack me? Could it be... Could it be..."
The girl stood up and rushed to the bed again.
I said anxiously, "Did I interfere with you? You were treating my brother, so I was wrong? Then I apologize to you. I'm sorry!"
As she said this, she bowed deeply to Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan: “???”
She thought she was a delicate crybaby who was about to cry like a river and question her. She was ready to push her again, but what was the result?
"Ahem! Yes, I'm getting treatment, don't disturb me."
"Okay! I won't make any noise!"
The girl stood aside obediently, wiped her tears, closed her mouth, and stood there like a wooden man.
Qiao Lan sat on the edge of the bed, carefully feeling the energy fluctuations in Ye Qi's body and adjusting the position of the crystal core.
This treatment lasted nearly an hour, until the light of one of the crystal cores dimmed. Qiao Lan put away the crystal core, tucked the quilt into Ye Qi's arms, and then jumped out of bed to stretch his stiff legs.
"How is my brother? Is he in danger?"
The girl stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Lan's hand, asking anxiously.
"It's hard to say whether it's dangerous or not. I feel like he's okay, but maybe not. Let's wish him good luck and ask the medical staff to come and check him again later." Qiao Lan looked the girl up and down.
In the early morning, she escaped from the pursuit of the powerful man and came to the base to discuss the battle with Ye Qi. When the two of them and Team Xiao left the base, it was already dawn, and they did meet the girl.
The girl came to give Ye Qi a coat, but Ye Qi didn't wear it. Qiao Lan was busy going to the war, so he didn't ask who the girl was.
The girl was small and thin, with a sallow complexion and sunken eyes, clearly suffering from malnutrition. Her delicate features were quite pretty, but her red, tearful eyes looked quite pitiful.
"Are you Ye Qi's sister?" I've never heard of her before.
"Yes, my name is Zhan Qing. Ye Qi is my brother, closer than my own brother." The girl's voice choked with sobs. "If anything happens to him, I won't be able to live alone."
Qiao Lan was confused: "Aren't they my biological brother and cousin?"
"No, he's a family friend. My brother and I grew up together and have a deep bond. I can't imagine him getting into an accident."
Zhan Qing let go of Qiao Lan, sat down beside Ye Qi's bed, and held his hand that was exposed outside the quilt, full of worry.
Qiao Lan consoled him earnestly, "Then you really need to adjust your mindset. He's encountered quite a few unexpected situations, not just in the past, but also in the future. Who knows, maybe one day he'll really have an accident. You never know."
In troubled times, everyone is in danger of losing their lives. Even if Qiao Lan filled her space with food and drink, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to enjoy it all. Maybe she would die tomorrow. She was quite open-minded about life and death.
But these words were too terrifying for Zhan Qing to hear, and she burst into tears immediately.
With my head lowered, tears fell down.
Qiao Lan fished out a small plastic cup from his pocket and placed it under Zhan Qing's chin to collect her tears. "Don't waste it! This is all water. Collect it and you can drink it."
Zhan Qing looked up at her in surprise.
Tears flew away, and crystal clear water droplets splashed on Ye Qi's face.
Ye Qi opened his eyes.
With a blurry look in his eyes, he asked weakly, "...is it...raining?"
Amazing, Qiao Lan thought, Sleeping Beauty awakened by tears.
"What's this?" She put away the plastic cup and held up two fingers in front of Ye Qi.
"two."
"What about this?" Change to three fingers.
Ye Qi's eyes gradually focused and he regained his consciousness. "Don't try. I'm not stupid."
"Very good. Then you lie down and rest first. I'll go pick up Captain Xiao and the others. We can't abandon our friendly forces out there." Qiao Lan turned and was about to leave.
There was a sound of footsteps outside, and a nurse led the way, leading Team Xiao in quickly.
Captain Xiao's clothes were torn in many places, his face, neck and hands were covered with red and swollen scars, and he walked unnaturally on one leg, but he was still in good spirits.
"We chased that guy away... Strictly speaking, he left after hearing the summoning whistle." He walked to Ye Qi's bedside, "Are you okay? Can you hold on and get up?"
Ye Qi said weakly: "It's okay. Let's deploy the next battle. There is no time to lose. We must act as soon as possible. Instead of defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack."
"Good!" Captain Xiao showed appreciation and agreed with Ye Qi's idea.
Zhan Qing cried, "Brother, you can't fight anymore, right? There are so many people in the base, can't you let the uninjured ones go..."
"No." Ye Qi took a few deep breaths and adjusted his spirit. "Captain Xiao, please give me ten minutes. I need to recover."
Captain Xiao took his men out.
"You go out too." Ye Qi looked at Zhan Qing.
"...Okay." The girl hesitated for a moment, looked back every few steps, and walked away very worriedly.
Qiao Lan was about to leave, but Ye Qi stopped her.
"You stay and close the door," he said.
Qiao Lan did as she was told and returned to the bedside. "What's the matter?"
Are they discussing some secret behind people's backs?
Ye Qi held her hand and said, "Thank you for saving me. I feel safe when you hold me in your arms."
He looked at her weakly, his tone very sincere.
"Oh...you're welcome." Qiao Lan thought to herself, listening to this, he must have forgotten that he was thrown and knocked unconscious? Very good, then she wouldn't mention it.
"Then take a good rest for ten minutes," Qiao Lan said. "Is ten minutes enough?"
Next, we must go out and fight to the death.
The two sides had been at war from the beginning over that granary, a super precious resource, so they had been at war with each other from the very beginning. That was why this side, without saying anything, directly blew up the thugs' base with powerful artillery fire and took the initiative to provoke them.
Otherwise, Ye Qi would not touch the gang of thugs in the south of the city now, because the base has not yet been completely stabilized.
But Qiao Lan touched the granary that the thugs discovered first.
A little investigation would reveal her connection to the Crimson Dawn base, and they would surely come to cause trouble and seize food. In the apocalypse, this was a life-or-death feud. It was a fight to the death. If the battle began today, it had to be swift and decisive, completely crushing the enemy to prevent future disaster for the base.
Although the thugs' territory was destroyed, those psychics were very powerful. Ye Qi was mentally traumatized. Can he participate in the next battle?
Qiao Lan was worried.
Ye Qi said, "That's enough."
He pulled her: "Help me listen to your heart, is it okay?"
Qiao Lan was surprised. "Are you feeling unwell?"
She bent down and put her face close to his heart to listen, but her neck was hugged.
Ye Qi put his arms around her head, raised his chin, and pressed his lips against her cheek.
Then her lips.
