Although some bad things happened last night, the Nirvana team set out as usual the next morning. Liao Zhitao's body was buried deep in the earth and burned like charcoal all night. From time to time, green smoke came out of the pile of earth, making people feel uncomfortable.
Seeing the mound of earth, Nie Ting took off his hat and said, "Let's say goodbye to Zhitao." His tone was filled with sadness and helplessness, as if the person who ordered the burning of Liao Zhitao was not himself.
Everyone gathered around the mound in silence. Lin Dan followed the crowd and lowered his head, but his eyes were full of sneer. She had said long ago that as long as she didn't die that day, those who had bullied her would pay a heavy price.
Only Xiao Junlin was standing far away under the eaves, looking at the group of people with a smile. Perhaps within a year, if something similar happens again, they will not hold such a grand "farewell ceremony". Human life is the least valuable in the end times.
After the ceremony, Nie Ting asked everyone to pack up and get ready to leave. Liu Ye pointed at Yang Jin who was lying on the ground and said, "Lin Dan, you are the most idle person in the team, so I will leave Yang Jin to you to take care of."
Lin Dan's face was full of embarrassment: "Captain Liu, I still have the doctor to take care of, I'm afraid I can't handle it."
Liu Ye was determined to throw the trouble to Lin Dan, so she would not listen. She immediately mocked him, "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to have a full meal, work hard for me, otherwise leave as soon as possible. Believe it or not, there are many people in the team who can replace you. Either you take good care of Yang Jin and the doctor, or you get out. The doctor is an adult. Do you think he will die without you? You think too highly of yourself!"
Lin Dan knew that Dr. Xiao would not die without her, but he would definitely feel very uncomfortable. However, she had no obligation to tell Liu Ye this, so she could only bow her head and remain silent. She actually wanted more than anything to "take care of" Yang Jin, but in order to avoid arousing Liu Ye's suspicion, she had to pretend.
Lin Dan frowned and bit her lip, as if trying her best to suppress the resentment in her heart. Seeing that she dared to be angry but not to speak, Liu Ye felt refreshed.
Nie Ting caught a glimpse of Dr. Xiao's increasingly cold expression and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Just as he was about to say "forget it", he heard the other party say, "Then give us a separate car. This way there will be more space."
"Okay," Liu Ye agreed quickly, "Xiao Qiu, drive the military jeep over here. From today on, you are responsible for protecting Dr. Xiao. Keep a close eye on him, okay?" On the surface, she asked Xiao Qiu to protect the doctor, but in fact, she wanted him to monitor Lin Dan. Although Yang Jin is a third-level peak wind-type mutant and is considered a top-notch master, he is blind after all, and his life is inconvenient, so he may not be able to control Lin Dan.
"Okay, Sister Liuye, you can rest assured." Xiao Qiu smiled heartily.
Two team members came over and prepared to help Yang Jin get into the car, but Yang Jin held the car door and asked in a gloomy tone: "Captain Liu, if my eyes can't be cured, what are you going to do with me? When you and Nie Ting were trapped in the zombie pile, it was Liao Zhitao and I who rushed in to rescue you. You can't be ungrateful."
Liu Ye said firmly, "Brother Yang, don't worry. I will never forget your life-saving grace. As long as the Nirvana team is still here, you will always be one of us. I will provide you with all your living supplies. If I eat meat, you will eat meat. If I drink soup, you will drink soup too. I will never let you starve to death. I will definitely bring you back to the base safely."
When Liao Zhitao was burned to death last night, she could feel everyone's fear and dissatisfaction. Today, she could use Yang Jin's words to unite everyone. As expected, after hearing her promise, Yang Jin's dark complexion immediately softened, and the others also showed moved expressions. Some of the thoughtful team members even turned their backs secretly to wipe their tears.
Liu Ye suddenly did this, which made Nie Ting look particularly cold and cruel. Nie Ting nodded and smiled on the surface, but who knows what he was thinking in his heart?
Yang Jin got into the car steadily, and the others also took their seats. As Lin Dan climbed onto the back seat, a wind blade blew towards her. If she hadn't dodged in time, her neck would have been cut off. The wind blade hit the passenger seat, cutting a big hole in the thick leather.
Lin Dan looked at the broken leather chair and his expression instantly turned cold. She could already imagine what would happen if she failed to dodge. Yang Jin was blind, so he naturally couldn't see the consequences of his attack. He didn't care whether Lin Dan was dead or injured. He just wanted to use this incident to demonstrate his authority and power, and then tell the other people in the team clearly that although he was blind, he could still kill people, and no one should mess with him.
As the saying goes, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, Lin Dan is the chicken, and the members of the Nirvana Squad are the monkeys. Lin Dan slowly turned her head, stared at Yang Jin's face, and suddenly a very cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Junlin stood outside the car and watched this scene, his eyes and eyebrows full of interest. Very good, it seems that he will definitely not be bored during this journey.
Yang Jin listened to the noise in the car and said regretfully, "How could he be so lucky that he didn't die?"
Lin Dan looked at him without blinking and said nothing.
Yang Jin thought she was frightened and sneered, "Did you see that? Although I am blind, I can still kill you anytime and anywhere. If you know what's good for you, serve me well."
Lin Dan still didn't say anything, but summoned a layer of water film to quickly clean the passenger seat. Xiao Qiu climbed into the car and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, what are you afraid of? With me here, she will definitely not dare to neglect you. Okay, let's go. You lie down and have a good sleep. You were in pain for most of the night last night. Aren't you tired?"
Yang Jin really couldn't hold on any longer. He thought Lin Dan had been frightened and didn't dare to do anything rash, so he laid the chair flat and fell asleep.
Xiao Junlin climbed onto the clean passenger seat and said with a half-smile, "You have a really big heart."
Lin Dan didn't know who he was talking about, so he didn't answer. He put the filtered water film into a plastic bottle and sat back in the back seat. She stared at Yang Jin's head, her eyes changing constantly.
The convoy set off and had a smooth journey. They only encountered a few scattered zombies, which were not of high level and could be crushed directly. The bumps of the wheels woke Yang Jin up. He got up cursing and asked impatiently, "Xiao Qiu, where are we?"
"We just passed City B and are still far from the next rest stop." Xiao Qiu's hearty voice came.
"I'm hungry. Give me something to eat." Yang Jin kept turning his head, as if looking for Lin Dan's location.
Lin Dan opened his backpack and said calmly, "Bread or ham, which one do you want to eat?"
"I want them all. Stop talking nonsense and unpack the package for me. Can't you see I haven't had breakfast? Damn, you have no tact at all. Doctor, does she always take care of you like this? How can you stand such a stupid person? Oh yeah, she must be great in bed, right? Hahahaha, that's the only use of women." Yang Jin was swearing, as if he wanted to establish his authority by trampling on Lin Dan. Now that he is blind, he has to find someone to serve him. Lin Dan has awakened water-related abilities, which are at least somewhat useful, but his strength is not strong enough to resist him, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Xiao Junlin looked at Yang Jin through the rearview mirror with a smile on his face.
Lin Dan reached into his backpack and took out not food, but a small knife. She casually cut a small wound of about one centimeter on Yang Jin's arm and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I was just about to cut the plastic cover of the sausage with a knife, and the car bumped a bit, and I accidentally scratched you."
Yang Jin felt a slight stinging pain, which was completely negligible, but he felt that he could not let Lin Dan go like this. He had to use this as an excuse to teach her a lesson and let her know once and for all how to write the word "fear". He spat and stretched out his hand to pull Lin Dan over to beat him up, but Lin Dan took the first step and grabbed his wrist, activating his mental power.
In just a moment, all the blood in Yang Jin's body gushed out from the tiny wound, making a hissing sound, but it did not splash everywhere. Instead, it was gathered together by a pair of invisible big hands and formed into a blood ball. Blood cells floated in the air, growing larger and thicker, but were wrapped in a layer of ice on the outside, preventing the bloody smell from spreading.
This scene was too strange and should have attracted Xiao Qiu's attention, but she just stared straight ahead and never looked back. Instead, Xiao Junlin turned sideways and looked at the two of them with interest.
Yang Jin wanted to use his supernatural powers to counterattack, but he only felt dizzy. The massive blood loss in an instant paralyzed his body functions. He could feel his blood draining away rapidly and could hear the sound of it spurting out of his body, but he didn't have the strength to resist. He squeezed out a seemingly strong, but actually extremely weak sentence from between his teeth: "Lin Dan, what did you do to me? I warn you to let me go quickly, otherwise I will make you pay!"
Lin Dan didn't even frown, but just drew his blood silently.
It was not until this moment that Yang Jin realized that Lin Dan's silence was not because of fear, but because of contempt. As she stood quietly by, she was not thinking about how to please him, but how to take revenge. She is not a sheep, but a dormant beast. When the opportunity arises, she will pounce on her prey and bite its throat hard. The belated feeling of fear invaded Yang Jin's heart. He tried to struggle, but his body became weaker and weaker.
The blood cells were still expanding, and when they reached 1,500 milliliters, Lin Dan finally stopped. However, Yang Jin had fallen into shock, and his clothes inside and out were soaked with cold sweat.
"Can the blood be transfused back to him?" Xiao Junlin asked in the spirit of seeking knowledge.
Lin Dan shook his head and said, "No, the process of transfusing blood back is much more delicate than drawing it out. If we don't control it well, his blood vessels will burst, causing a large area of bruises. If Liu Ye sees it, she will think I am abusing him."
"Didn't you abuse him?" Xiao Junlin asked back.
"That's totally irrelevant." Lin Dan answered truthfully.
Xiao Junlin chuckled and praised: "This skill is very practical. You can practice it more. The scene of the blood mist exploding in the air must be very beautiful."
"I thought you had mysophobia?" Lin Dan asked with a frown.
“Cleanliness and aesthetics are not in conflict.”
Lin Dan nodded, seeming to understand the doctor a little better. He looks so elegant, but it turns out he is an advocate of the aesthetics of violence.
