Chapter 28, she fell
At night, with the howling of the wind, you can vaguely hear the chatter and laughter of the team members changing shifts. Si Xu opened his eyes and noticed something strange in his arms with a slight movement.

The girl was lying on her side, curled up slightly, with her head resting on his arm, soundly asleep.

Si Xu, who was about to get up, hesitated for a moment, and gave up the original decision.

He stared at Jiang Ran for a moment, raised his arms, and the girl rolled into his arms unconsciously.

Putting his arms around him, the young man closed his eyes again.

The body in his arms was warm, slender, and soft... As long as he exerted a little force, he could easily break her neck—an extremely fragile life.

For the first time, he vaguely understood what Gu Yunqing meant by the fragility, and Si Xu returned his hand and gently stroked Jiang Ran's back neck, like stroking a cat, with a bit of care.

The girl groaned in her dream, and slipped into his arms as if trying to avoid his hand.

Si Xu: "..." That woman named Luo Rui was stupid and selfish, but she said something, and he agreed with it—well, Jiang Ran is really cute.

……

In the early morning, Jiang Ran, who woke up from sleep, rubbed his eyes and habitually said hello to the familiar people around him.

"Good morning, Sixu."

"..."

It is also customary to get no response.Jiang Ran didn't take it seriously: "Are you waiting for me to wake up? Didn't you say that we will go to the city together today..."

"Yeah." Si Xu got up and changed his clothes, "It's still early, let's go down and have breakfast first."

"it is good."

After Jiang Ran finished washing, Si Xu called to her: "Jiang Ran, this is for you, take it with you."

Jiang Ran took the pistol he handed over and noticed that the pattern on it seemed to be different.

"This is the one I mentioned to you yesterday, the one that has been modified for noise reduction." Si Xu said, "There are six bullets in it, remember to keep the last bullet for yourself."

"Huh?" Keep it to yourself?Jiang Ran was puzzled, but nodded.

"Let's go." After explaining, Si Xu led Jiang Ran's hand downstairs.

……

Unexpectedly meeting Si Xu at the stairs, He Ru smiled sweetly and said softly, "Si Xu, Ranran, good morning."

Si Xu responded with a slight nod, and Jiang Ran replied with a smile, "Morning."

"You get up so early, do you mean you are going to the city together today?"

Si Xu didn't speak, Jiang Ran could only reply: "Well, you worked hard yesterday."

"It's not hard work, it's all for the team." After getting the answer, He Ruying smiled and said, "I'm very familiar with the urban area. You can come to me if you encounter any problems."

Regarding the girl's sudden change of attitude, from the original tit-for-tat to the current enthusiasm, Jiang Ran just smiled and did not respond.

A little behind the two of them, the smile on He Ru's face disappeared, and the gaze fixed on Jiang Ran seemed to contain sharp thorns: Jiang Ran is going to follow the team into the city, does it mean that her chance has come?

In this kind of world, it is too easy for a person to disappear.

As long as Jiang Ranran disappears, with her ability, it's only a matter of time before Si Xu is taken down.

……

After breakfast, after the team arranged for the left-behind players, the others boarded the car and set off for the city.

Gu Yunqing explained in detail the streets that were searched yesterday, and began to assign tasks: "Song Rong, we don't have many people coming out today, so we will divide into two teams, starting from the streets that were searched yesterday, and expand the search outward."

"Yes."

"Professor Si is with you."

"Yes." Song Rong said that this arrangement was meaningless, "He Ru, she..."

"He Ru is also following your team." Gu Yunqing said, "With Si Xu here, it is more than enough to protect two ordinary people - He Ru can only hinder us by following us."

"Yes."

……

The members of the ability team have long been accustomed to the work of collecting supplies, with clear goals and quick movements. After Jiang Ran followed them to search the two shopping malls, he was already a little out of breath.

Hearing the girl's suppressed panting, Si Xu stopped beside her and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to rest?"

Jiang Ran shook her head: She can't be pampered just because Si Xu is protecting her. If she is slowed down at this time, what face does she have to stay in the team?The indulgence given by Si Xu is kindness and protection, but it is not an excuse for her to pamper herself.

After getting the answer, Si Xu nodded: "You wait here, pay attention to the situation outside, I'll go inside and have a look."

"it is good."

After Si Xu left, Jiang Ran leaned on the glass door of the shopping mall with one hand to pant, and observed the movement on the street by the way—the zombies in the shopping mall had been dealt with by the team, and now the zombies and mutant beasts outside had to be guarded against.

"You are here." After yesterday, barely able to keep up with the rhythm of the team, He Ru walked up to Jiang Ran, his eyes were full of disgust, but his mouth was concerned, "Are you okay? Your face is not very good .”

"I'm fine." Finally taking a breath, the pain in Jiang Ran's chest dissipated, and she replied calmly, "My face will be like this when the wind blows, it doesn't matter."

"Oh, I thought I was tired." He Ru said, "I ran along for a day yesterday, but I was really tired—but after getting used to it, I feel fine."

Regarding the girl's experience, Jiang Ran smiled: "Everything will have a process."

"That's right." He Ru stood beside her, smiling, "I quite admire you—you said you followed Si Xu, and he spoiled you so much, there's no need for you to go outside to suffer."

It was this kind of words that sounded intimate but actually sowed discord, the smile on Jiang Ran's face disappeared, she looked out of the glass door indifferently, and said calmly: "It's because Si Xu favors me that I can't drag him behind legs." She looked at He Ru, raised her lips and smiled, "Do you think this is the truth?"

He Ru: "..." Hehe, it seems that this woman is a smart person, and she underestimated her before.

Knowing that Jiang Ran had seen through her thoughts, He Ru didn't back down, and persevered in finding new topics: "How did you and Si Xu meet?"

"Aren't you in the same dormitory as Zhou Jian?" Jiang Ran said, "Zhou Jian is such a gossip guy, didn't he tell you how I met Si Xu?"

"I don't know Zhou Jian very well, how could she talk to me about this..."

"Then you can go back to ask her at night, I think, she will be happy to tell you." Jiang Ran replied with a half-smile, "That memory is not a good memory for me, I don't want to mention it again, Feel sorry."

After being shut down again, He Ru bit her lower lip and said bluntly, "Jiang Ran, you don't seem to like me very much?"

"Huh? Is there?" Jiang Ran pretended to be confused, "You misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? I..."

"It's not that I don't like you, it's that I don't like women who covet Si Xu." Jiang Ran smiled slightly, "If Miss He didn't have such thoughts, I would definitely not dislike you."

He Ru: "..." Coveting Si Xu?Really dare to say, when did Si Xu become her property?This woman takes herself too seriously!
……

Knowing that she was chatting to death again, and seeing that He Ru finally stopped talking, Jiang Ran was very satisfied with her fighting power-she couldn't figure it out, she was so annoying, but she wanted to put on a look of liking and say something close, Why bother?

With He Ru here, Jiang Ran wanted to go into the mall to find Si Xu.But before she could go in, she saw Song Rong coming down from the second floor.

"Sister Ranran, He Ru, get out!" The man jumped down from the second floor, without giving Jiang Ran a chance to react, he pushed the two of them out, "There are mutant beasts on the fourth floor, Professor Si asked me to take you out first !"

"Secretary he..."

"It's a mutant beast with spiritual power, and it's a herd of beasts. Professor Si has to protect the low-level team members and deal with the mutant beasts. There is no way to get away for now—let's withdraw first."

As soon as Song Rong finished speaking, an angry animal roar came from the four entrances of the shopping mall.

"Come on!"

The level of that wolf king's ability is not low, and it is a spiritual ability. The lower level players in the team can't withstand his attack, let alone the two ordinary girls Jiang Ran and He Ru.

"Oh." Jiang Ran came back to his senses, grabbed He Ru who was limp and ran out.

Song Rong: "..." Huh?Affected by mental power, He Ru couldn't even move, why did Ranran run so fast?
……

Before leaving the mall, Jiang Ran stopped.

At the corner of the street, attracted by psychic powers, groups of zombies were moving towards the shopping mall.Smelling the smell of fresh flesh and blood, the zombies moved a lot faster.

The rancid smell hits the face.

Jiang Ran looked back at Song Rong who was broken, embarrassed: "It's a group of zombies, Team Song, what should we do?"

The shopping mall must not be returned, and now I can only find a relatively safe place to hide first.

Surrounded by zombies on both sides, Jiang Ran glanced at the other road: "Over there is the bridge across the river, Team Gu and the others should be on the opposite side."

"Okay, I've already contacted Captain Gu, let's evacuate there first."

Song Rong took two girls with her, one of whom was still in a state of delirious mind, somewhat restrained.Fortunately, there are no high-level mutants in the zombie group, and Song Rong can still resist them for the time being.

Jiang Ran dragged He Ru to the opposite side along the cross-river bridge, but before running far, the girl who was dragged by her tripped over something and fell heavily to the ground.

Jiang Ran leaned over to help her: "Are you okay?"

The originally delirious girl looked up at her, and said softly and charmingly, "It's okay, thank you, Jiang Ran."

His intuition was wrong, and Jiang Ran subconsciously wanted to let go.At this moment, He Ru stood up abruptly, and slammed into her with all her strength.

The body fell backward uncontrollably, slipped out of the gap in the railing, and fell straight to the river.

"Plop"!She clearly heard the sound of herself smashing into the water.

……

Seeing the girl fall off the railing and disappear into the water, He Ru lay on the ground, took a deep breath, and screamed, "Ahhhh!"

Song Rong, who had dealt with a low-level mutated zombie, turned around and was stunned: Where's sister Ranran?
"Captain Song! Ranran accidentally fell!" He Ru pointed at the gap in the railing and said sharply, "She fell! What should I do? What should I do!"

Song Rong: "...?!" Falling?Where did it fall?Jiangli?Open... What are you kidding!
……

Swinging the knife off the head of the last mutated beast, Si Xu threw off the blood on the knife and asked the team members not far away: "How is it?"

Xiao Chen checked the situation of several people, and said: "It's just affected by the spiritual power, and it should be fine after a short rest."

"Okay." Thinking of the girl who was taken out by Song Rong, Si Xu withdrew his knife, "Leave this to you, I'll go out first."

"I see, Professor Si."

……

Gu Yunqing led the team to the shopping mall, and on the bridge, they met Song Rong, who was devastated, and He Ru, whose face was full of tears.Feeling that something bad happened, Gu Yunqing looked at Song Rong: "What happened? Where is Jiang Ran? Didn't you say that Si Xu asked you to take Jiang Ran to retreat first..."

"She fell..." Having accepted the reality, Song Rong bowed her head deeply, and said dryly, "Captain, Jiang Ran fell...from here." It's over, everything is over...Professor Si trusted him Jiang Ran was handed over to him to take away, but in the end, he lost him...

"Fall?" Song Rong was still blaming herself, when she heard a cold voice behind her, asking without any emotion, "How long has it been since you fell?"
