Chapter 415

Ruan Huacheng collapsed, covering his face, tears constantly falling to the ground through his fingers, the extreme pain almost swallowing him.
“She loves beauty so much, and is so afraid of pain.
How could she die in the mouth of a zombie? How could her face be torn beyond recognition by fangs?”
Xiang Yunduan stood silently in place, wanting to gently pat Ruan Huacheng’s back to comfort him, but was rejected and pushed away.
“Acheng, Yingying is my sister, my own sister, and the treasure I’ve watched grow up since she was little.
Her death only makes me sadder than you.
I know you can’t accept the facts and need an emotional outlet, but you can’t impose a crime on innocent team members.
Yingying’s death was an accident, just an accident.”
Xiang Yunduan’s hands trembled slightly, but his voice didn’t show any weakness.
“Go and rest, it’s too late, we still have to go back to the Rose Base tomorrow.”
After speaking, he turned and left, as if nothing had happened.
However, Ruan Huacheng did not move, took out a photo from his pocket, and just sat there blankly.
The cave wasn’t big, and the two’s argument fell into Lin Qianhuan’s ears.
But after all, she was just a passerby, and she wouldn’t have any more interaction with them in the future, so she didn’t want to ask more about things she shouldn’t.
It’s better to pretend she didn’t hear anything.
Several hot water bottles were placed between the bedding. Lin Qianhuan took off her coat and crawled in, feeling warm from head to toe.
Suddenly, the communicator on her wrist faintly heated up.
Thinking it was a caring message from Lin Yixuan or Lin Wansheng, she looked down, only to find it was Jiang Xing’s message.
She looked up, and their eyes met. Lin Qianhuan instantly understood what he meant.
[Why didn’t you ask them about the surrounding situation or anomalies?]
Lin Qianhuan lightly tapped the virtual screen with her finger: [Because I think they are the anomalies here.]
Jiang Xing smirked and pulled her into his arms.
[You noticed it too?]
[Yes, there must be other factors for them to be alive until now.
It’s easy to startle the snake by asking questions rashly, so it’s better to observe first.
Guess, will anyone attack us tonight?]
[I guess so.]
[Me too, then let’s just wait patiently.]
The night deepened, and the stone cave became particularly quiet, as if one could hear the rustling sound of snow falling.
Lin Qianhuan and Jiang Xing reminded each other and waited until 3 a.m. before hearing a faint movement.
It sounded like someone was putting on shoes, followed by tiptoeing footsteps.
Here they come.
Lin Qianhuan gently pinched Jiang Xing’s palm, and the two closed their eyes, making their breathing more steady, as if they were really asleep.
The footsteps gradually approached, eventually stopping beside Lin Qianhuan.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind came, and the sound of metal colliding suddenly rang out, startling everyone in the stone cave.
“What’s wrong?”
“What’s that sound?”
…
The extinguished candle was lit again. The person who attempted to attack Lin Qianhuan wanted to escape when he realized something was wrong, but was firmly pressed in place by a mental ability.
As the candlelight gathered, the identity of this person was completely revealed.
Xiang Yunduan rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
“Jiang Xiangdong, what are you doing?
Put down the knife now!”
Lin Qianhuan also turned her head to look at the man beside her, who was the water Superpower user, Jiang Xiangdong.
His face was ashen, standing stiffly and sluggishly in place, like a silent statue, appearing particularly eerie in the dark night.
“Captain, why don’t you take action?
Are you going to watch me be killed by these two people?”
Jiang Xiangdong turned to look at Xiang Yunduan, his back molars clenched tightly, making a creaking sound.
Xiang Yunduan’s heart was beating violently. He didn’t understand why Jiang Xiangdong wanted to attack Lin Qianhuan and the others.
They were saved, they were about to return to the base.
Why, why was this happening?
“Lao Jiang, why are you doing this?
These two are here to save us, they have a helicopter that can take us home through the blizzard.
Why would you do this! Why are you so stupid!”
Xiang Yunduan looked at Jiang Xiangdong in a somewhat collapsed state, his eyes full of despair.
Jiang Xiangdong chuckled lightly, and even though he couldn’t move his body, he still tightly gripped the dagger in his hand.
“Captain, do you really think these two will take us back?
That’s a helicopter, how many bases in the entire Huaxia have helicopters? You should know how precious this thing is, right?
They came to the west with a helicopter, what do you think they’re here to do?
Do you think they’re really here to save us?”
Jiang Xiangdong snorted coldly and turned to look at Lin Qianhuan: “You can fly a helicopter all the way from the Kyoto base to here, you must have a purpose, right?
Are you here to carry out a mission?”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled lightly, raised her hand to pull the quilt, put on her coat and sat up.
“Since you can see it, why bother asking?”
Getting the answer, Jiang Xiangdong turned to look at Xiang Yunduan.
“Did you hear that, Base Chief? They are here to carry out a mission.
What kind of mission requires coming to the west? It is clear that the west is short of supplies and sparsely populated.
Even if I don’t say it, Captain, you should be clear, right?”
Xiang Yunduan’s expression froze slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Jiang Xiangdong chuckled: “Base Chief, you ate truth serum and can’t tell lies.
They didn’t ask you the most fatal question. If they asked, would you choose to say it or not?”
