On the other side, Commander Yang took advantage of Cao Wei's unpreparedness, raised his gun and fired a burst of shots. In a flash, Shang Nuan stood in front of Cao Wei, but the bullets did not pose any threat to the two of them. Athena waved her Aegis shield lightly, and a moment later, Commander Yang stood in place and turned into a stone statue.
Feng Zhiyun and Wang Youlong beside him wanted to run away, but they were shot by Commander Cao's personal guards and fell down.
Cao Wei, still terrified, glanced at the foreign woman beside her. She glared at Shang Nuan and snapped, "Who asked you to take the bullet for me?"
"It's my responsibility to protect you." Shang Nuan saw that Cao Wei was really angry, so she stood there obediently and listened to Cao Wei's lecture.
Cao Wei shook her head and sighed, "Thank you, but don't do that next time. It's too dangerous."
Shang Nuanren was still standing there straight, but did not respond to Cao Wei's words.
"Forget it. I don't expect you to agree. First, take your men to inquire about the personal information of these hundreds of new soldiers one by one, and then arrange accommodation for them." Cao Wei said with a helpless smile.
This time Shang Nuan answered much more readily, "Yes!"
After saying that, she led her men away from the soldiers squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. Shitou also stood up and wanted to go find Keqing, but Cao Wei stopped him. "Wait a minute, I heard you're the captain of some special disease operation team on the other side. Why did you join them?"
Shitou frowned and looked at Cao Wei, gritted his teeth and said, "I thought you guys wouldn't be coming back."
When Keqing saw that Shitou was called, she had no intention of going over. She just squatted there waiting for Shitou, hoping to reduce her presence. After all, Shitou was good to her, but she didn't want to suffer with Shitou.
"Did you think we couldn't come back? Did you think all your friends died out there? People like you who are fickle will definitely not be tolerated in District One." Cao Wei said as she asked the soldiers around her to raise their guns.
Just as the soldier was about to shoot, Cao Wei heard Wei Siyu's voice behind her.
"Wait a minute." After Wei Siyu said that, she squeezed to the front of the crowd.
Cao Wei saw that it was Wei Siyu, and her eyes softened a little. She seemed to understand what Wei Siyu wanted to say, and spoke first: "Wei Siyu, I know you are a good person. This stone was a member of your team before, so it is only natural that you want to say a few words on his behalf. But don't forget that we went out today to deal with the super mutant lion and returned safely. What if we didn't return safely?
How many more people in the base will be killed by people like him? I can spare one of them, but these two people must not stay in the first area anymore."
"Commander Cao, what you said makes sense, but he was my friend after all. I thank you on behalf of Shi Tou." When Wei Siyu heard that Shi Tou's life could be saved, she hurriedly thanked him.
Keqing heard the news from afar that she was going to be expelled from District One. She hurried to Shitou's side and cried, "Siyu, Commander Cao, we really were bewildered for a moment. Please don't kick us out of District One, okay? How can we survive if we leave District One? Siyu, can you please beg Commander Cao again? We really know we were wrong and we won't dare to do it again."
Wei Siyu also looked embarrassed. After all, Shi Tou and the others had indeed gone too far this time. Commander Cao was already very generous by sparing their lives.
Shitou embraced the crying Keqing in his arms and said loudly, "Don't cry, we don't need to beg them. Keqing, don't worry, even if we leave District 1, I will make sure you live a good life."
After speaking with Keqing, Shitou frowned and looked at Wei Siyu. "I'm telling you, you don't have to pity me, Wei Siyu. I used to think you were a good partner, but what about you? You only see me as a sidekick in the team, right? I've just seen through this incident to understand you, and all of you. You all look down on me from the bottom of your hearts, and think I'm unworthy of being appreciated, right?"
Seeing that no one answered him, he shouted again: "Is that so?"
Wei Siyu looked at Shi Tou and shook her head in disbelief. She had never considered anyone around her as a subordinate. "Why would you think that?"
"What I said is the truth. You are all more hypocritical than each other. I have seen through you. Keqing, let's go." Shi Tou said and wanted to go back with Keqing to pack up.
Commander Cao had his men block the two men's path. "The gate is over there. The rest of you watch them exit through the outermost gate of Area One. And don't let these two enter Area One again."
"Yes." After receiving the order, several soldiers armed with live ammunition pointed their guns at Shi Tou and Ke Qing and escorted them out.
Wei Siyu looked at the stone slowly moving away, and felt more and more uncomfortable.
Chen Wan patted Wei Siyu on the back and comforted her, "It has nothing to do with you. He is the one who has no conscience. Don't think about it. It's not worth it for such a person."
Wei Siyu nodded, still saying nothing.
Cao Wei came over to thank Jiang Yanxin: "Thank you so much just now, if it weren't for your special ability, Ah
Nuan's life might be in danger today, thank you."
"No need. Everyone feels at ease with you in District 1." Jiang Yanxin said with a smile.
Seeing that the first area had stabilized, Chen Wan and the others went back to rest.
When she returned to 301, Yiyi had gotten a deck of cards from somewhere and was playing "pulling a train" with Jiang Wanning and Zizi. In order to play, Zizi had learned several words and even knew that she could take away the words that had the same beginning and end.
The little guy just learned how to play, and now he is lying on the bed with his little butt sticking up, playing with great enthusiasm. His little fleshy hands can hardly hold the playing cards.
Hearing some noise outside the door, the baby called out from inside: "Mommy, Mommy~"
Chen Wan returned to the bedroom and saw Zizi holding cards in his hand. There was also a long row of cards on the bed. He chuckled and teased Zizi: "Bao'er, how come you're playing cards after not seeing you for just one day?"
"Aunt Yiyi and my aunt taught me. It's fun to play with Mommy pulling a train. You play with me." The baby stretched out her little hands and acted coquettishly towards Chen Wan, wanting Chen Wan to hold her and play with her.
Chen Wan smiled and coaxed, "You play with the aunts for a while longer. Mommy and Mommy have to take a shower first. Look, Mommy is dirty. I'll hold you later."
Zizi nodded his little head and continued to play with the train. Children can easily become interested in something, such as the new game of pulling the train. Zizi loves to play it so much that sometimes he even doesn't like to watch cartoons.
After Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin took a bath, they joined the group pulling the train and played with the kids.
On the other side, the atmosphere was heavy for Wei Siyu and the others. After all, Chen Wan and the others had not spent much time with Shi Tou. Shi Tou betrayed them and left, so they felt a little uncomfortable, but it soon passed. However, Wei Siyu and the others had been through life and death with Shi Tou, and the sudden departure of their teammate was a little hard for them to accept for a while.
"How could Shi Tou think of us that way? We've been together for almost half a year. You could say we've never been apart since the end of the world. How could he think of us that way?" Jin Can felt that Shi Tou was a little baffled, and so did Huang Lili.
"Yeah, we've been through thick and thin together, so why is it that something like this happened now that we're settled? It's so annoying." Huang Cancan curled up in the sofa, feeling upset.
Wei Siyu sighed and said, "Perhaps we never really understood him from the beginning. Regardless, he left District 1, and I still hope he's safe."
“I don’t think Keqing has
"What good could that do? Shitou might have only been slightly showing signs of having those inappropriate thoughts before, but when he met Keqing, she lit a fire in him that immediately caught fire. Ultimately, it's just his own mindset that's at fault," Jin Can analyzed with a sigh.
"Yeah, maybe our fate is really over." Wei Siyu didn't have the energy to talk about anything else and went back to her room. Jin Can and Huang Lili did the same.
On the other side, Shitou and Keqing were escorted by soldiers in a state of utter disarray to the final blockade of District One. Shitou's face was covered in black ash, his hair was burnt and uneven, and his clothes were tattered. He stood in front of the gate of District One and cursed, "One day, one day I will make you all pay the price. Wei Siyu, Chen Wan, just wait, I won't let you go. What's so great about you? Why do you look down on me?"
The soldier guarding the first gate couldn't stand his increasingly outrageous rants anymore and pointed his gun at Shi Tou. "Get out of here! You're disrupting the normal guarding environment in Zone 1. We still have the priority to make decisions."
Ke Qing was expelled from the first area, and it was not easy to find another home for the time being. Although Shi Tou was not a powerful psychic like Chen Wan and the others, he was still a psychic after all. She still had to rely on him in order to survive in the apocalypse.
Thinking of this, Ke Qing quickly spoke up to persuade him, "Shi Tou, let's stop cursing. Think about me. It will be dark soon. We have to find a solution as soon as possible. Don't worry, Shi Tou. Even if Wei Siyu and the others abandon you, I will not leave you. I will stay by your side."
Shitou's eyes were red as he hugged Keqing in his arms. "Thank you, thank you so much for staying with me. Thank you for trusting me. Keqing, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a life of luxury. It will be a hundred times more glorious than living with Wei Siyu and the others. I will definitely do it. Just believe me."
"Yeah, I believe you." Keqing made an affectionate expression, but at the same time she was thinking that she should quickly ask Shitou to find a place, as they didn't know where to stay at night.
However, Shitou was a power-type mutant after all, and had rich survival experience. He quickly hailed a car from the nearby roadside and prepared to take Keqing to a nearby town to find a place to spend the night and get some food and drinks.
The two left together and finally found a small town nearby before dark. There was still some food and juice left in the convenience store. They blocked the store door with stones and planned to spend the night there with Keqing.
Keqing sat on the hard floor, her mind racing. Her initial fondness for Shitou was gone. If only she could hook Chen Wan, wouldn't she have to endure this? How could she sleep on this hard floor? It was all Shitou's fault!
