Chapter 10, Battle Ceiling
You just have to trust me.

Her heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.Jiang Ran stared blankly into the man's light brown eyes, and it took a long time to understand what he meant.

The temperature on her cheeks began to rise uncontrollably, she hastily looked away, and nodded vaguely: "I see."

Damn it, how could this paper man be so flirtatious?

Wait, isn't it silly and sweet?Why can this kind of love talk come out of your mouth?

Or... She secretly looked at him out of the corner of her eye, but unfortunately the man's attention was no longer on her.

He patted the back of the passenger seat, waited for Gu Yunqing to turn his head, and said: "It's time to start, let's go first."

The man glanced out the window: "Look at the weather, it's likely to snow later."

Snowy weather is not suitable for driving.

"Will it?" Gu Yunqing didn't doubt his words, he clicked his tongue and sighed, "We've been out for too long this time."

For more than three months, from early autumn to early winter, it was delayed by more than 30 days than the original plan.

"If it really snows, it will be troublesome." The Xiling base is located in the north. If the snow falls heavily, they can only return to the base next spring.

Ignoring Gu Yunqing's thoughts, Si Xu leaned back on the chair, glanced at Jiang Ran who was in a daze, and reminded her: "Seat belt."

"Oh." Jiang Ran, who was still thinking about finding something to chat with him, quickly pulled the seat belt buckle.

The man leaned back on the chair, exhaled lightly, and closed his eyes.

Jiang Ran hesitated: "Your seat belt..."

"No need." He didn't open his eyes, and said lightly, "Don't worry about me."

Jiang Ran: "..."

Seeing her embarrassment, Gu Yunqing used the walkie-talkie to contact other companions in the car, and said without looking back: "Sister Ranran, don't worry about him, he is just like this when he doesn't sleep well, and has a grumpy temper."

Didn't sleep well... oh, he was on duty last night.

The car started and drove out of the small mansion.

Jiang Ran glanced at Si Xu with his eyes closed and meditating, and whispered, "Are we going to Wuzhong City next?"

"That's right." Gu Yunqing was opening a map, drawing various symbols on it with a pen. "Anyway, we have to pass by there when we go back, so we can clean up together."

"That's it."

"You also know that after the disaster, all the bases are short of supplies, whether it is daily necessities for food, clothing, housing and transportation, or the seeds of various crops that will be needed in the future-although the laboratory is working hard to study the virus, I hope to be able to Find out the reagents to contain the virus, but they are busy enough to deal with the wounded and treat the sick, and they don’t know what year and month it will be to solve the disaster.”

"It has been half a year since the disaster happened, and many things may still be within the shelf life."

"That's right." Gu Yunqing smiled, "So, we must hurry up."

Jiang Ran thought for a while and said, "Will there be any survivors in Wuzhong City?"

"I guess it's gone." Gu Yunqing said, "Wuzhong City has not established a base, and it is a provincial capital city. It is necessary to live in such a place for half a year..."

almost impossible.

Jiang Ran was silent.

As a newcomer to the book, although the original owner's own memory of the end times is in her mind, she has not experienced it personally after all, so until now, she has no particularly clear concept of the end times.

However, from Gu Yunqing's tone, it can be heard that it is very difficult to survive in this world.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ran asked, "If there are survivors, will you bring them back to the base together?"

"Of course." Gu Yunqing said, "In this world, nothing is more important than human life."

After hearing such an answer, Jiang Ran tentatively asked: "What do ordinary people in the base... do they live on?"

There are not many descriptions of ordinary people in the novel—compared with supernatural beings, ordinary people have limited supplies, and once any accident occurs, ordinary people will be discarded... Only from these descriptions, and their own time travel When he came over, the original owner was wearing tattered clothes, and Jiang Ran could roughly guess how difficult it is for ordinary people to live in this apocalypse.

"Huh?" Looking at the nervous girl from the rearview mirror, Gu Yunqing smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you obediently follow Si Xu and don't cause trouble, he won't treat you badly."

Jiang Ran: "..." Wait, why did the topic suddenly become this.

The car was driving smoothly on the road, Jiang Ran looked back behind him - several trucks loaded with supplies were following closely behind.

Xiling base... In fact, she doesn't quite understand that Si Xu, as the person in charge of the Xiling base laboratory, has no power conflict with the Shen family who is in power. Why does the Shen family have to kill Si Xu to feel at ease? Woolen cloth?
The novel only emphasizes that Shen Lang is worried that Si Xu is too powerful and loses the power to restrain him, thus making the Shen family and the base passive... Why does Shen Lang have such worries?Are there other irreconcilable conflicts between Si Xu and the Shen family?
Thinking about this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but secretly looked at Si Xu—hey, his eyelashes are so long, his nose bridge is also very straight, and he is not fierce at all when he closes his eyes, like a child who has let his guard down...Look Look so good.

She was still in a daze, the man's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Four eyes facing each other.

There was a clear light in the light brown eyes, like the undercurrent hidden under the calm sea, so she couldn't look away at all.

Until Si Xu blinked his eyes: "Have you seen enough?" A faint smile could be heard in the deep and hoarse voice.

Was he laughing at her...?

Jiang Ran hastily looked away: Well, beauty comes first, so I can't blame her for losing her mind.

After all, the car is not as good as a bed, and there is no way to have a good rest.Si Xu pressed the back of his neck with one hand, moved his neck, looked out of the window, and suddenly frowned: "Are mutant beasts following us?"

"Although I really want to answer no, it's a pity..." Gu Yunqing spread his hands, and said in a helpless tone, "It's a mutant beast."

mutant beast?
After listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Ran hurriedly looked out the window—there were endless fields on both sides of the road, and there were sporadic and slow-moving zombies on it, but at this moment, there were black shadows scurrying in the weeds. Not far behind the convoy.

"That's... a mutant beast?"

In the apocalypse, not only humans have undergone mutations, but many animals and plants have also undergone changes due to exposure to viruses.

Compared with humans, the changes in animals are even more terrifying, because unlike slow-moving zombies, after many animals are infected by viruses, various body functions will be enhanced.

For example, the mutant beast that is following the convoy right now.

"Let me take a look..." Gu Yunqing had already spotted the mutated beast's stalking, and only then slowly opened the skylight, took a telescope and stood up to look back.

"It seems to be mutated wolfhounds, one, two, three... six, not many."

"Oh." Si Xu was not very interested, "It should be attracted by the smell of fresh flesh and blood."

"It makes sense." Gu Yunqing answered with a half-smile: "After all, there are many beauties in our team."

"Don't dawdle, solve it quickly." Si Xu glanced at Jiang Ran who was staring at Jiang Ran from the window, impatiently, "That kind of thing is disgusting to look at."

"Hey, I got it, let's solve it..." Gu Yunqing responded, flexing his wrists, muttering, "He will order me, hey, I just don't want to complain~"

Before the man finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand—the fingertips were shaped by a thin air flow, which quickly transformed into the shape of a sharp blade.

This was Jiang Ran's first time seeing a mutant beast. She was staring closely at the moving black shadows when she vaguely heard the whistling of the wind outside the window, and the jumping shadows were cut in half the moment they jumped up.

Jiang Ran: "..."

After quickly clearing up the mutant beasts following the convoy, Gu Yunqing sat back in the car and patted his face: "It's so cold outside, Xiao Chen, close the sunroof!"

Jiang Ran sat down again.

The six mutant beasts that were chasing were solved so easily that she didn't even see clearly how he did it.

Is this the experimental body that came out of the laboratory?Gu Yunqing is a wind-type supernatural being. With such strength, is it really only at the fourth level?

If Gu Yunqing is more than just the fourth level, then... Jiang Ran quickly glanced at the silent Si Xu: Then how powerful is this person's ability—the so-called strength of the ceiling of the novel's combat power—exactly?
