Chapter 373: The tough guy and the 'weak' sick beauty in the end times (39)
After the holiday, Ruan Guannan and Chi Yi became busy again.
Zombies are constantly evolving, becoming smarter and more difficult to deal with.
The difficulty of going out to carry out rescue missions is constantly increasing, and each time is full of dangers.
Ruan Guannan also plunged into the laboratory to analyze the research results left by his parents, hoping to find the weaknesses of the zombie virus as soon as possible.
While everyone was busy with their own things, Xia Yunyan, another person who had received special attention, joined the base's medical team.
However, as a medical student who had studied for less than two years, she could only help out in the ward.
After accidentally changing the wrong IV bottle in a trance again, Xia Yunyan was scolded by her boss.
"I saw you working diligently as a cleaner in the medical team for more than half a month, so I was soft-hearted and recruited you. Let's see what you have learned."
"You inserted the needle into the wrong vein, prescribed the wrong medicine, and even changed the IV bottle incorrectly. Why don't you just kill them with a knife? It would be a more painful death!"
"Xia Yunyan, I really misjudged you."
The person in charge was very disappointed. Seeing how persistent she was and hearing her say that she was a student of Dr. Chi and Dr. Fan, he disobeyed the order and recruited her. He didn't expect that this person was so unreliable.
He looks dazed all day long and gets startled by the slightest noise.
Several patients have complained to her, but due to staff shortage she only gave the patient a few verbal warnings. Unexpectedly, the patient remained the same and did not change at all.
Xia Yunyan was scolded so much that she couldn't even raise her head. She apologized with red eyes.
“I’m sorry, Director. I almost died in a zombie swarm before. Every time I closed my eyes at night, I saw images of zombies biting me. I didn’t want to do that… I… I’m sorry…”
Xia Yunyan tried hard to hold back her tears, but she couldn't hide the sob in her voice.
The director saw that there were dark circles under her eyes and her face looked very haggard, which was obviously due to lack of sleep, and he couldn't help but sigh.
She had been chased by zombies before, so she more or less understood, but she still spoke seriously:
"I'll give you one last chance. If there are still patients complaining, you don't need to come to see me. Just leave the medical room."
"Thank you, director."
Xia Yunyan bent down and bowed, looking very humble.
When she returned to her room exhausted at night, facing the chattering sounds in the room, Xia Yunyan could no longer maintain her expression, and she became cold and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
Others have long been accustomed to her moodiness.
They are woken up by her screams every night and are full of resentment. Why does Xia Yunyan treat them so badly?
So no one in the room wanted to pay attention to Xia Yunyan, and they isolated each other.
When Li Zhiang came to bring her food, he saw her huddled against the wall without saying a word, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
He put two buns and a bottle of water next to her and whispered, "I'm going to the engineering team. Let me know if you need anything in the future."
Xia Yunyan looked up at him and clearly saw the sympathy and pity in the man's eyes. The original love she had for him had long since disappeared.
She forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Zhiang. Fortunately, I still have you."
Li Zhiang nodded without saying anything, stayed for a while and then left.
Xia Yunyan took the bun next to her and mechanically stuffed it into her mouth, staring blankly at the dirty floor.
She couldn't help but think of that day when she saw Ruan Guannan... and Brother Chi in the crowd.
This was the first time she had seen them since their separation.
It's not that she didn't take the initiative to look for Chi Yi, but she couldn't see him at all.
This time they met by chance, before she could be happy, she suddenly realized that although they had not been separated for a long time, she and they seemed to be from two different worlds.
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face, her eyes unconsciously looking at the person who was obviously being cared for, and a sense of inferiority and resentment arose uncontrollably in her heart.
She always thought that Ruan Guannan was just a weak dodder who relied on others for protection and would only be a burden to Chi Yi in such an environment.
Especially when she saw Ruan Guannan getting so angry that he had a seizure on the spot, she became more convinced that Chi Yi was just temporarily bewitched by Ruan Guannan's appearance.
A strong-willed man like Brother Chi should prefer a woman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him and is independent and self-reliant. Sooner or later, he will not be able to tolerate Dodder's weakness.
Xia Yunyan denied her jealousy again and found a suitable reason to disguise herself.
However, in the dead of night, she could not help but pray in her heart that Ruan Guannan would not be able to recover from his illness, so that she could...
Unfortunately, her wishes were not fulfilled after all.
Not only did Ruan Guannan not become bedridden, some people said that her illness had been completely cured.
Immediately afterwards, the higher-ups issued a commendation, praising her for her courage and strategy, and for cooperating with the army to successfully retrieve the first generation of vaccines.
When the news came out, the people who were already supporting Ruan Guannan became even more excited, and they wanted to praise her to the utmost.
Looking at her current situation, Xia Yunyan came to her senses. The reasons she had built up in her mind were broken, revealing her true jealousy.
But there was no point being jealous, there was nothing she could do. The only thing she could do now was to survive, she couldn't lose her job in the medical room.
Xia Yunyan adjusted her state of mind. The only thing that made her feel relieved was that the nightmare that had tormented her for a long time had finally dissipated.
She worked very hard in the following days, not daring to make any more mistakes, but the patients she had implicated before were never in a good mood towards her.
Xia Yunyan racked her brains, trying to regain the goodwill she had lost in front of the patient.
After a week of hard work, she began to see results. In order to make everyone accept and recognize her from the bottom of their hearts, Xia Yunyan came up with an idea.
She led the patients from the medical room in a chorus in the small open space in front!
According to her idea, she was preparing to allow these patients who were suffering from illness and were under the shadow of zombies to relax and refresh their body and mind.
If you have a good attitude, you will recover faster.
The songs they chose are all positive and energetic, and can bring hope to people's life when heard from afar. They attracted many passers-by to join in, and the scale became larger and larger, and the voices became louder and louder.
The song was sonorous, powerful and passionate, and the person singing was extremely excited, while the zombies outside who were listening to it were even more agitated.
By the time the patrol officers arrived to drive them away, the alarm had already sounded over the base.
A large number of zombies attacked the base!
In the laboratory, Ruan Guannan was doing a pathological experiment. 999 reminded him:
[Host, the hero's second destiny line is coming soon. 】
Ruan Guannan paused, put the utensils in his hand on the table, [What stage are we at now? ]
999 took a look at the monitor, [The zombies have just started to attack the base and have not yet broken through the defense line.]
[Where are Chi Yi's parents now? ]
[Host, they are still in the medical room and are safe for now. ]
Ruan Guannan nodded, took off his gloves, took off his protective suit, and walked directly towards the base director's office.
Chi Yi’s second fate line is the death of his father and mother.
In the story of Honkai Impact 3rd, because Chi Yi did not take Xia Yunyan out to perform the mission as per the original story, the two even had no interaction after they arrived at the base in the story of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Xia Yunyan liked him and wanted to live up to his good reputation, so she put together an inspiring chorus.
While accumulating reputation, I also want to inspire everyone to survive and help each other in this doomsday.
Unexpectedly, the zombies had become extremely sensitive to hearing after continuous upgrading. After hearing the loud noise inside the base, they became agitated and gathered together to frantically attack the A City base.
Their attack was sudden and fierce. The base guards fought back in their original manner, but the situation grew worse as time went on and they were unable to stop it.
In the end, the A City base was completely destroyed and countless survivors, including Chi Yi's parents, died.
When Chi Yi returned from the mission, the A City base had become a ruin trampled by zombies.
From then on, Chi Yi was truly free from worries. He fought zombies countless times and finally died in some unknown corner, without a name or surname.

Good night, babies~
