Chapter 288 For me?
"Xiao Xi, it's time for dinner. Captain Yan and Brother Zhou are here too, and they brought some wine."
When Ye Xi opened the door and came out, Ye Yan was standing at the door. She turned slightly sideways and looked towards the living room.
"Um……"
Ye Xi nodded and walked straight out.
Yan Fei glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly, "She looks pretty good."
Zhou Hui was dumbfounded when he heard this, and quickly explained, "Ye Xi, our captain means that you should have rested well these past two days, right?"
"fine."
Ye Xi walked to the dining table in the living room, pulled out a stool and sat down. He looked at the two of them and said in a calm tone, "Are you two coming here today for the East District?"
"no."
Yan Fei poured wine into the empty glass, pushed it in front of her, and said, "For you."
"Um?"
Ye Xi was slightly stunned when he heard this, "For me?"
She looked at Yan Fei and Zhou Hui with some surprise.
Seeing that his captain was about to say something cruel, Zhou Hui quickly said, "I just came to see how you were doing. After all, you were injured in the East District, and Xie Ning died..."
"The dead cannot be resurrected. As long as the apocalypse continues, we may lose friends and loved ones again at any time and anywhere. You'd better adjust to your condition as soon as possible."
Yan Fei interrupted Zhou Hui and spoke in a serious tone.
"Alas, it's not you, Captain..."
Zhou Hui was stunned when he heard his captain's blunt words. He quickly looked at Ye Xi to comfort her, "Ye Xi, don't listen to our captain..."
"I know."
Ye Xi looked indifferent as he looked at Yan Fei, Zhou Hui, and Ye Yan and the others around him, and said, "Xie Ning is dead now. This is a reality that each of us must accept, and I must accept it too."
"Xiao Xi, don't force yourself."
Ye Yan hugged her distressedly, "We still have time, we can slowly let go."
"there is none left."
Ye Xi said in a deep voice, "Sister, we don't have that much time. The seventh-level mutant zombies have appeared. This time, Xie Ning paid the price of his life to save us. What about next time? Who will die in exchange for our lives?"
“…”
Ye Yan froze, slowly let go of Ye Xi, and looked at her, feeling very uncomfortable.
yes.
This time it was Xie Ning.
Who will it be next time?
Is that her sister Ye Xi?
As soon as she thought of this, Ye Yan felt herself instantly engulfed by fear.
She can't lose Ye Xi!
Feeling the hand holding him tighten, Ye Xi knew what Ye Yan was thinking and patted her arm soothingly, "Sister, it's okay. I didn't mean to scare you, I just thought we were still too weak."
"weak?"
Zhou Hui gasped, "All of you are level five! You can't find another team of psychics like that in all of S City!"
"Even within our own army, we only have about eight or nine level five mutants right now. They're all upgraded because we went back and killed a few level five mutant spiders to get their cores after the Kaizhong Group's defenses in the East District were breached a few days ago."
In short, they haven't encountered a level five mutant zombie yet to extract the crystal core.
This stuff is rare nowadays.
It seems that once the level 6 and 7 mutant zombies died, the level 5 mutant zombies hid deeper.
"Tsk, Fatty, the weak that little girl said is not the weak that you think it is."
Yan Fei looked at Ye Xi. The more he interacted with her, the more he realized that this little girl was a person with a very strong inner will to become stronger.
This time, Xie Ning's death made her feel that she was too weak and unable to resist the level six or seven mutated zombies. She could only watch her teammates die tragically in front of her.
He felt such regret, annoyance and self-blame when he was on his first mission as a soldier and watched his teammates being killed by drug dealers.
Later, he continued to work hard to become stronger because he didn't want his teammates to sacrifice in front of him.
He thought for a moment and said to Ye Xi, "There's nothing wrong with wanting to become stronger, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to destroy them all. But Ye Xi, we are human, not gods. There will always be times when we are powerless, and that's not your fault."
“…”
Ye Xi pursed her lips, and it could be heard that he was trying to comfort himself.
"Hmm...Thank you, Instructor Yan. I understand."
She is not a god.
But as human beings, some efforts are still not enough.
She is not going to save everyone, she is not a savior.
I just hope I have the ability to protect my family and friends!
Kaizhong Group predicted that the highest number of mutant zombies would be level six, but in the end a level seven mutant zombie appeared.
That was unexpected.
And such unexpected situations may happen many times in the future.
She can't slack off any longer!
"Xiao Xi, becoming stronger is not just your thing, it's also something the rest of us should strive for."
Ye Yan held Ye Xi's arm tightly and looked at her. "Sister will also find a way to become stronger. Apart from the healing ability, I don't have any other powers now, but my body can be strengthened. Instructor Yan's unit is still training new recruits, I think I can give it a try."
"sister……"
Ye Xi looked at her and then at Yan Fei.
Yan Fei said, "Don't worry. No one in the boot camp will know what your sister's special abilities are. She'll train for seven or eight hours every day. Slowly, she'll be a complete change in a month."
“…”
Ye Xi originally wanted to say that she could also train her sister, but in fact her training method was indeed not as strict and systematic as that of Yan Fei and his troops.
In her previous life, after she awakened, she enhanced her physical strength, and learned how to fight others and kill mutated zombies by stealing. She learned from whoever was stronger. Not to mention that she looked like a weirdo, it was not suitable for the current Ye Yan.
"Don't worry, Sister Xi, Sister Yan and I will go to training together! I will definitely not let others bully Sister Yan then."
Liu Hong stood up and made a solemn promise to Ye Xi.
Ye Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing how determined they were, he nodded and said to Yan Fei, "Thank you, Instructor Yan."
"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. Now is the time to cooperate and help each other. We haven't completely wiped out the Kaizhong Group, but the danger level in the East District has dropped significantly compared to before. That's good news. I'll need your help to go in a few more times within this month."
Yan Fei picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, then continued, "Zhou Hui told us about what happened in the underground laboratory. When the time comes, we will also go back into the basement and take Gao Ze with us to find out what's going on inside."
But now these are all follow-up issues. There won’t be any big fuss or full alert like the first time we entered Kaizhong Group.
Ye Xi understood what he meant. After thinking about it, he realized that it wouldn't be a big problem to stay in the East District for the next month, so he agreed.
"Come here, Sister Xi, let's eat first. If there's anything else you want to eat, just tell me and I can make it for you right now!"
Long Liang was afraid that the atmosphere was too tense, so he quickly spoke to ease it.
Han Chi didn't say anything, but stood up silently and served Ye Xixian a bowl full of white rice.
