Chapter 57 The Chosen Heroine
I got hungry late at night, changed my clothes, and went out for barbecue. When I saw the stall owner's dog, I would pick out a few skewers to feed it.
If you encounter a groper on the subway, slap them a few times and stand by with the onlookers until the police arrive.
When I went to see a concert in another city, I couldn't hail a taxi afterward, so I simply walked for several kilometers.
If you see a male idol in a video, click the heart; if you see someone you like in a live stream or novel, send them lots of gifts...
There are no earth-shattering events in her life; her life consists of the mundane details of everyday life.
Until one day, she opened her eyes and found herself in another world.
In this world, she had a nightmare.
In her dream, she suffered terribly in the apocalypse and was eventually killed.
When she opened her eyes again, the dream was over, but she was still in this world. Unlike in the dream, now she had memories, her own consciousness, and she wouldn't be swayed by the plot; instead, she decided to take control of her own future.
In her dream, she felt a pang of longing for life on Earth.
These seemingly ordinary things are things that many people in this world never experience in their entire lives.
.........
Shan Ran slowly opened her eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling and the IV drip she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Ranran! Ranran, you're awake! That's wonderful, you're finally awake..."
There was a continuous buzzing sound in her ears, and it took a while for her hearing to return to normal before she could hear intermittent crying.
Shan Ran turned her head and saw Meng Xin sitting on the edge of the bed, gently placing her hand on her cheek, her eyes blurry with tears.
After several months of superpower evolution, Meng Xinye's hair is now a clear light blue, a clear characteristic of a water-based superpower user.
His hair was spotless and very handsome, perfectly complementing his clean-cut face and giving him a youthful and radiant appearance.
His eyes were also light blue, and now, filled with tears, they looked like a surging ocean.
Shan Ran's lips trembled slightly, and Meng Xin quickly leaned closer, hearing her say, "Don't, don't wipe your snot on my hand."
Meng Xinye:............
He recovered quickly, wiped his face clean, and then helped Shanran sit up halfway, feeding her water little by little.
A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Shan Ran looked up and saw that many unfamiliar people had arrived.
There were doctors in white coats, and several other people who looked quite distinguished.
The doctor came and examined her body, and a person with light-type superpowers came to heal her.
After using her superpower, Shanran felt better.
After all the checks were completed, the group of people who had been waiting on the sidelines finally moved.
The leader of them came to Shan Ran's bedside.
This is a short-haired woman, probably around forty years old, wearing glasses, with a neat short haircut, exuding a strong presence. There are a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, making her look somewhat tired, but her eyes are very clear and bright, and she gazes at people with great focus and intensity.
Shan Ran roughly guessed the other party's identity.
"Hello, Shanran Base Chief. I am Lu Wenrou, the chief of District 1."
After emerging from the fog, Shanran and Kunwu Yecheng were taken to an official hospital for treatment.
Both were seriously injured. Kunwu Yecheng mainly suffered from external injuries, as well as severe overexertion of his supernatural abilities due to fighting the monster for too long.
In addition to physical injuries, Shan Ran also suffered severe psychological trauma.
During the healing process, the Light-type ability user discovered that Shanran's ability energy was chaotic, rampaging within her body. Efforts to clear it were limited; the recovery of Shanran's mental state was the primary concern.
When Shanran woke up, she learned that she had been in the mist for twelve days and then remained unconscious for another twenty days after she came out.
Looking at the district head in front of her, Shan Ran smiled politely and said, "District Head Lu, hello."
"I'm so glad you're alright. You're still feeling a bit unwell after waking up, so rest here and I'll come see you again once you've fully recovered."
Lu Wenrou did not linger. After confirming that Shan Ran had woken up and expressing the official stance, she left.
Shan Ran had a good impression of the district chief of District 1. She could tell that the other party had a lot of questions to ask, but he didn't seem to want to disturb her rest. He was very tactful.
If it were the noble families of the First Continent, they would definitely ask about everything that happened in the mist immediately.
From Meng Xinye's words, Shan Ran learned that the fog had disappeared.
To be honest, she didn't expect to have such a gain from this trip to District 5. When she read the book before, it never mentioned how to eliminate the fog.
No, this is not a book.
Before she fell into a coma in another world, a voice told her that everything was real.
So Shanran tried to shout in her mind, wanting that voice to come out; she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask.
However, there was no response from the voice.
However, Shan Ran also had some guesses.
That voice is hostile to the other world; it must be some kind of entity from the local world.
It says that Shan Ran was the chosen heroine, which may be the origin of her special ability.
Since she is the heroine chosen by this world, then Rong Shuyao, the heroine of the book, may be the heroine chosen by another world.
That book was very likely written in another world.
This explains why Rong Shuyao killed her in her previous life; they were from different world factions, and their relationship was inherently one of life and death.
But it remains unknown whether the tragic past life was real or fictional.
The door opened again, interrupting Shanran's reverie.
Meng Xin also turned around impatiently to see who had come in without knocking. When she saw who it was, her expression became even more impatient.
"Ranran, you're finally awake..."
Kunwu Yecheng still has bandages wrapped around his body. Most of his external injuries have healed, but a laceration on his shoulder and back that was bitten off is more serious and is still recovering.
Upon learning that Shan Ran had woken up, he was eager to come over, but seeing her sitting comfortably on the bed, he was speechless.
In the end, he could only utter a few words softly, and you could hear a slight sob in his voice.
When Kunwu Yecheng pushed Shanran into that cave, he was prepared to die, but he never expected to see her alive and well, so much so that he can't move now.
Seeing that he was alright, Shan Ran smiled happily, "Captain Kunwu, we all made it out alive!"
Kunwu Yecheng wasn't wearing a mask, and his complexion wasn't good. This powerful man, who was always at the forefront, showed obvious vulnerability. Shanran found it very novel and was somewhat itchy to be around him.
He smiled and said, "Yes, it's good that we're all still alive."
Shan Ran looked at Kunwu Yecheng, intending to say something more, but her hand was suddenly pulled away.
She turned her head and saw that Meng Xin had placed her hand on her cheek again.
"Ranran, you've lost so much weight. When you were unconscious, you could only receive intravenous nutrition. Now that you're awake, I'll cook you delicious meals every day to help you recover quickly."
Shan Ran looked at Meng Xinye and noticed that he had also lost a lot of weight. He had finally recovered some health a while ago, but now he was like a clothes rack that would sway when clothes were hung on it.
He has very dark circles under his eyes, and the whites of his eyes are bloodshot.
Even his skin had become much rougher, with many hangnails and small, scabbed wounds on his hand holding Shan Ran's.
Water-type ability users have the best skin of all ability users, crystal clear, moist and shiny, but Meng Xin, a powerful water-type user, has managed to make himself look like this.
Shan Ran pursed her lips and rubbed her fingers against the male college student's cheek. "Okay, then the task of fattening me up is up to you."
Meng Xinye's eyes sparkled, and his big tail behind him started swaying. He nodded emphatically and smiled very happily.
Kunwu Yecheng stood there without saying a word. The interaction between the two people in front of him was unusually intimate, but not the kind of intimacy between a superior and a subordinate. He vaguely guessed what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask or confirm it.
He wanted Ranran to get rid of that sticky guy by the bed, but what right did he have to do such a thing?
What is he anyway? He just barely escaped death with Ranran.
They were just companions who broke through the illusion and tore through the fog together.
However, he couldn't pretend that night in the illusion hadn't happened. Even if it was an illusion, they were entangled for a whole night.
And that kiss in the real world...
He wanted to leave immediately, but for some reason, he couldn't move.
Kunwu Yecheng's eyes were somewhat confused; he didn't know what he really wanted.
The tall man's back was slightly hunched, and his face looked even more unpleasant.
Shan Ran noticed his movements and quickly asked with concern, "Captain Kunwu, what's wrong? Did you aggravate your wound? Go sit on the sofa and rest for a while."
Kunwu Yecheng raised his eyes, then lowered his eyelashes and nodded gently.
The usually composed and steady man looked so vulnerable at this moment, which made Shan Ran's heart tremble for no reason. She suddenly remembered the back view she saw when she turned around in the cave.
Without hesitation, he stood in front of her, blocking the entrance to the cave. He didn't know where the cave led, but he thought that Shanran would be safer because of it, so he used his body to clear a path for her.
"Captain Kunwu, thank you."
Kunwu Yecheng knew what she was thanking him for. He forced a weak smile and said, "No need to thank me, Ranran. I did this all of this willingly. You don't need to thank me, not even in the future."
Meng Xin's alarm bells went off. He never expected that this seemingly calm and quiet special forces captain would have such a tea-like side. He had been walking very steadily every time he came to visit Ranran these past few days!
He knew Ranran was completely susceptible to this! Every time she looked at that man, her eyes were filled with tenderness!
After Kunwu Yecheng finished speaking, he coughed as if he couldn't hold it in any longer, seemingly aggravating his wound, and made a soft hissing sound.
"Captain Kunwu, are you alright?"
Hearing the concerned voice, Kunwu Yecheng, who had been looking down, smiled slightly. But when he looked up, he quickly hid his smile, looking even weaker. "No need. I was just too excited to hear that Ranran had woken up. I'll rest for a while now."
Shan Ran said with concern, "Then you sit down first. If you need anything, tell Xin Ye. We are both injured, so we need to be careful so that we can recover faster."
