Chapter 248 Feng Xue
Lin Xi woke up amidst the jolts and jolting.
Everything was dark before her eyes. As her consciousness gradually returned, she realized that this was the ridge between the fields she and Yang Yicheng had just been to, the village where Li Shuyi lived.
Her gaze shifted and she saw Li Shuyi walking beside her with her head down. Li Shuyi looked around at everything outside like an alert cat.
She was carried into the carriage, and a silver-white refrigerated box was placed next to her to continue charging.
—We're saved.
Support personnel from the Iron Wolf base have arrived.
Lin Xi was temporarily protected by the team, and the refrigerated box also had a stable power source.
She still had a splitting headache. From the moment she escaped the Watchtower base, her clothes soaked with sweat, and endured the cold wind, to the relentless escape that followed, her body could no longer withstand such exhaustion.
Amidst a ringing in her ears, Lin Xi heard the voices of several people talking.
A familiar female voice seemed to be complaining, followed by Yang Yicheng's voice.
The voice in Lin Xi's mind changed from ethereal and distant to clear; it was Yang Yicheng and Feng Xue from his team.
Yang Yicheng glanced wearily over and said to Feng Xue, "Take care of them."
Feng Xue crossed her arms and glanced at Lin Xi and Li Shuyi with disdain and contempt.
After speaking, Yang Yicheng took the supplement pack next to him, ate some food, and then began to rest with his eyes closed.
Feng Xue, who had agreed to "take care" of Lin Xi and Li Shuyi, did not act until she saw that Yang Yicheng seemed to have fallen asleep, at which point she got up.
Lin Xi also looked at Yang Yicheng, wanting to ask him if there was any news about anyone else before he fell asleep, but she was dizzy and hot, her throat was dry and hoarse and she couldn't speak, as if she was about to faint again at any moment.
She is a medical professional, but she does not have any medication to treat herself.
Feng Xue rummaged through the storage box next to her, then walked aggressively towards them, looking down at the two of them.
Li Shuyi shrank closer to Lin Xi. She was originally afraid of Yang Yicheng, but she was also like this towards Feng Xue. She must have heard some of Feng Xue's words when Lin Xi was unconscious.
Lin Xi had met Feng Xue twice, but they didn't have any direct interaction on either occasion, though the man's tone towards her was unfriendly.
Lin Xi sat on the ground leaning against the carriage, and two pairs of combat boots came into view from her lowered gaze.
"Clatter! Clatter!" Several brightly colored packaging bags fell in front of Lin Xi.
Feng Xue said in an unfriendly tone, "Here, eat something."
What was just thrown in front of Lin Xi and Li Shuyi was compressed food.
Li Shuyi lowered her head, revealing a defiant look in her eyes, but she dared not face Feng Xue in front of her.
Lin Xi looked up and glared at Feng Xue.
Come and eat.
She survived the apocalypse for a long time with great difficulty, and almost never had to ask for help. Even when she was ostracized and ridiculed at the research institute, no one would just throw things on the ground for her to pick up.
Feng Xue looked into her eyes and saw through her thoughts. She chuckled and said, "What? Not eating?"
Lin Xi, who had been staying at the base for many years, had very fair skin. At this moment, her lips were almost as white as her face. In Feng Xue's eyes, her glaring expression was somewhat ridiculous.
Feng Xue squatted down, still taller than Lin Xi and Li Shuyi who were sitting. She put down the two bottles and said, "Honorable researcher, you don't need someone to help you open the bottle caps, do you?"
Lin Xi relaxed, naturally picked up the bottle and the food on the ground, opened it and ate. At this point, what was the point of hurting her body for the sake of face and dignity?
Her physical condition is currently very bad. Without the help of medication, she must first replenish her strength to enhance her body's self-healing ability and recover as quickly as possible.
Who knows what unexpected situations might arise later?
Seeing her do this, Li Yiran also imitated her actions, but under Feng Xue's gaze, her movements were very unnatural and hesitant.
Cold water poured down her throat, accompanied by the dry, choking taste of compressed biscuits. Lin Xi coughed twice, feeling unbearably dizzy again.
Feng Xue sneered: "The people in your base are really spoiled."
Lin Xi composed herself, not getting angry with her, and said calmly, "What grudge do we have against each other?"
Although she knew that sometimes one person doesn't need a reason to dislike another.
"No, I didn't." Feng Xue finally got Lin Xi to ask this question, and she chuckled, "I just don't like you."
"oh."
Feng Xue glanced at Li Shuyi, who was eating compressed biscuits with relish, and said to Lin Xi, "It's one thing to be a good-for-nothing, but you also have to drag our Captain Yang down with you."
She glared at Lin Xi and said, "Look at the stupid thing you did! Trading Captain Yang's life for her? It's not easy for us to protect you, we have no obligation to protect you in the first place."
The cold water and dry food caused an adverse reaction in Lin Xi's weak stomach. Just as Lin Xi was about to say a few words to Feng Xue, she suddenly vomited and a clump of filth landed on Feng Xue's clothes.
Feng Xue looked at her clothes in disbelief, gritting her teeth as she said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Lin Xi didn't take it to heart: "I didn't ask you to protect me."
She was responding to Feng Xue's earlier words.
The woman in front of her was troublesome and difficult to deal with. She just wanted to eat something to regain her strength, but this person kept nagging and looking for a fight.
Feng Xue sneered, "Don't you even know whose car this is? You're just eating and using this for free. Don't act innocent after getting a good deal. If you don't care about our protection, then get out of the car yourself."
Lin Xi suddenly felt an impulse and stood up. She wouldn't act rashly and get out of the car, but the person in front of her kept picking on her. She wasn't good at arguing, so fighting back with her fists was the right thing to do.
However, Feng Xue was clearly a skilled fighter as well. The punch that Lin Xi, who was teetering on the edge, threw was laughable in her eyes. Lin Xi had some fighting skills, but he was too weak. He was quickly choked by Feng Xue and pinned against the carriage wall.
Lin Xi realized how weak her body was, and Feng Xue, who had been following Yang Yicheng on field missions, was no pushover either.
She was slammed against the wall, and Feng Xue's hand gripping her throat showed no sign of letting go; she was almost suffocating.
Li Shuyi didn't dare to speak. Everyone else in the car was standing on Feng Xue's side, watching the commotion.
"What's all this commotion?" Only Yang Yicheng responded with a low shout.
Feng Xue let go of her hand, clapped her hands, and stood still beside her.
Yang Yicheng opened his eyes, annoyed that his rest had been interrupted. He looked at Lin Xi coldly and said, "I thought you were just indecisive, but now it seems you are stupid and impulsive."
After saying that, he gave Feng Xue a warning look.
Feng Xue shrugged: "She made the first move."
Yang Yicheng said in a menacing tone, "You started this trouble first. Go back and put me in solitary confinement."
Feng Xue was surprised that Yang Yicheng wasn't on her side. After a moment of surprise, she said angrily, "It's all because of her that Lao Ou and Xiao Ming died! She's the one who brought all those people here. I just don't like her, so what!"
Lin Xi was thrown and, after recovering, grabbed the nearby refrigerator and held it protectively in her arms.
Yang Yicheng glanced meaningfully at the refrigerator and said, "Didn't you hear what Lu Wei said?"
Feng Xue persisted, saying, "Who knows if what Lu Wei said is true? Besides, she was the one who first created the half-infected. So, we who died at the hands of the half-infected army are all to blame her."
Yang Yicheng closed his eyes in frustration.
Feng Xue: "What's wrong with saying a few words to her? She lost her temper and started it herself. I didn't mean to kill her."
Lin Xi didn't listen to what Yang Yicheng and Feng Xue were talking about; she simply turned on her watch and continued trying to contact her teammates.
When she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that Li Shuyi had been staring at her.
"?"
Li Shuyi: "I got into an unlicensed taxi."
Lin Xi: "It's okay, I'll wait for my friend to arrive."
Li Shuyi shook her head: "No, I said I got into an unlicensed taxi with you, sister. I didn't expect you to be so useless. You couldn't even beat them. How could I have believed your nonsense back then?"
