Pei Xiqing suppressed the awe brought by the huge monster in front of him and tried to calm down. "It's okay."
Buildings like this don't look like they were made in the 21st century at all. They far surpass the technological level of her world. Furthermore, even though the apocalypse happened a few years ago, humans were able to build a base like this. It's not hard to see that even this world was a long time older than hers.
Ling Lang smiled: "Then I'll do a full body checkup later."
"Why do that?"
"Even if there's even a tiny bit of the zombie virus on your body, it will be detected by the instrument. Do you want to try it?"
"Aren't you afraid that the device will explode when I pass by?"
“…”
Pei Xiqing patted his shoulder and said, "Put me down."
"You asked me to carry you, and now that we've arrived, you're ready to get rid of me?"
"Who says that about themselves?"
Long Yan walked over and said with a smile, "Ling Lang likes to tease you. When we were climbing the mountain, you fell asleep on a rock. At first, I was going to carry you, but I had to take care of Xiao Yue at the time, so Brother Duan carried you. His injury has almost healed, so it's no problem for him to carry you. However, when we were passing the defense line near the base for inspection just now, he negotiated, so now..."
As she spoke, she raised her chin, motioning the man to leave in the opposite direction: "He has to go to Franklun for a meeting now, so he has to leave first. Ling Lang took the initiative to carry you."
She knew that she would never ask Ling Lang to take the blame for her.
Fortunately, Long Yan explained it, otherwise she would really doubt herself.
Ling Lang hummed softly, "Brother has something to do, I will take you to the North Courtyard first, you come with me."
Long Yan nodded: "Go with him, I also have some things to deal with, so I can't accompany you for now. I'll find you later."
Pei Xiqing blushed: "I don't know how I fell asleep on the mountain. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
"It's okay. There's something wrong with the fog on the mountain. It's related to your falling asleep. No one blames you. Don't take it personally."
Pei Xiqing watched her and the rest of the team leave.
Ling Lang was waiting in front. She walked past him and said, "Don't play such jokes on me again."
"I'm just teasing you, why are you so stingy?"
Pei Xiqing shook his head and said seriously, "No, I don't want to misunderstand Brother Duan, and I don't want you to think I'm that kind of person."
Ling Lang interrupted: "Who are you? Don't I know?"
Pei Xiqing raised her eyes and said, "Maybe you'll regret it when you hear some gossip in the future. I might not be a good person after all."
"Am I so easily misled? Do you think I'm brainless?"
"No, I just said that your understanding of me may not be comprehensive."
"Does my brother know you well?" he asked, his eyes burning. "He's actually willing to carry you on his back. Does he know you too well, or does he have different ideas about you?"
Pei Xiqing blinked: "What if it is?"
"That's right. My brother hasn't had a boyfriend in the base, but many women like him. But it's more accurate to say they prefer the power he holds." Ling Lang said nonchalantly, "What do you mean? If you really like him, then just like him. It's not a big deal. Just like how I feel about you, I've never considered it a big deal."
Pei Xiqing's eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Ling Lang noticed her reaction and suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, I told you you're an idiot and you didn't believe me. I just said it casually, and you really believed it?"
He deliberately lowered his head and stared into her watery eyes. "No way, do you really believe it? Or do you actually like me?"
"...You are quite shameless. You can even talk nonsense."
"You're so stupid that you didn't even realize I was lying to you."
…
Pei Xiqing was speechless.
Ling Lang looked away, feeling a bit depressed when he thought of the look his brother had given him before he left. "Okay, I get it. I'm sorry about what happened just now. Let's go quickly. Everyone will be busy when they just get back to the base. You should settle down early and have a good rest so as not to delay me."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
People like Ling Lang not only have their own opinions, but also have their own ideas. They are arrogant and free and easy.
Maybe it's true as he said, he treats everything the same way and feels it's unnecessary.
Pei Xiqing sighed and followed him.
This place actually belongs to the base.
There is a fully armed sentry post in front, and the soldiers on guard are obviously the strongest among the psychics at a glance. The surrounding area is strictly guarded and the city walls are surrounded. There are at least a thousand people. I'm afraid not even a fly can fly in, not to mention that this is the third line of defense.
She looked back and saw that there were still layers of strict checkpoints behind her.
There were many people like her, all of whom seemed to have come from outside and wanted to enter the base. Some of them were driving cars to transport goods. Without exception, all of them had to get off and carefully inspect the corridors scanned by infrared instruments.
If someone simply touched a zombie's pocket or rummaged through a corpse to take something out, they would be detected and detained for a strict search.
Now standing just one step away from the inner city of the base, Pei Xiqing even felt like he was dreaming.
