Chapter 360: The tough guy and the 'weak' sick beauty in the end times (26)
"I'm sorry, Ruan. Yunyan was misled by me. I got off the car and saw that you were almost drowned by the zombies. It was difficult not to be bitten in that situation, so Yunyan said that. I'm very sorry for all this."
Li Zhiang suddenly spoke, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Ruan Guannan, who was crying, with an apologetic look in his eyes.
Suddenly he saw her face wet with tears, and that aggrieved and broken feeling made him feel real guilt and helplessness.
No one could remain indifferent to such a face, but he couldn't ignore Xia Yunyan, so he had to take the responsibility on himself and let her only hate himself.
Ruan Guannan seemed to be crying out of grievance, but in his mind he asked 999 very speechlessly, [No, did Xia Yunyan save his life? Otherwise, how could she protect him like this? ]
999 said in an unfathomable way, "Isn't this normal? The 'kind' heroine will always have a second, third, or fourth male who has been redeemed. As for which male he is, I don't know either."
Ruan Guannan curled his lips in disdain, [He should not be qualified to be the second male lead. Judging from the plot, the second male lead should be after he went to the A city base, but he didn't go into details, only saying that he was Chi Yi's comrade-in-arms. From this point of view, this is most likely my long-lost neighbor Zhou's brother, right? ]
Ruan Guannan subconsciously glanced at Zhou Jili, and was caught by Chi Yi, who had been looking at her with heartache, and his eyes suddenly became dark.
Fortunately, she quickly looked away, otherwise Chi Yi would have been jealous.
After hearing what Li Zhiang said, the people around him suddenly realized, "I was wondering why Miss Xia was so kind and could do such a vicious thing. It turns out that you misled her."
Xia Yunyan's originally pale face turned slightly blue, and tears were about to fall from her eyes. She lowered her head and stood there quietly without saying a word, as if she had been slandered and accused and suffered a great injustice.
There was a flash of coldness in Ruan Guannan's eyes, but she decided to quit while she was ahead. Anyway, she had already given Xia Yunyan a "small gift" and would deal with her after she finished the plot.
Chi Yi couldn't hide the look in his eyes that wanted to kill someone. He glanced at Li Zhiang and Xia Yunyan with sharp and cold eyes, his expression flickering.
Chi's mother took out a tissue and wiped Ruan Guannan's tears, and said to Chi Yi beside her: "Take good care of Guannan in the future. She looks a little too thin."
Chi Yi retracted his gaze, and when he looked at Ruan Guannan, his eyes were noticeably softer, as if to say that it was his responsibility to take care of his girlfriend.
But under Mother Chi's puzzled gaze, he opened his mouth but was too embarrassed to say it. He nodded with a stern face and said in a hard voice, "It should be."
Only then did Chi's mother nodded with satisfaction.
Now that Ruan Guannan has been found, everyone is ready to continue heading to the A City base without further delay.
Because of the helicopter brought by Zhou Jili, Chi Yi, Ruan Guannan, Chi's father and mother got on the helicopter directly, and the rest of the people followed the support team from City A.
Watching Chi Yi escorting Ruan Guannan onto the helicopter, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be a lot more intimate than before, and just standing there gave off a sense of atmosphere that was difficult for others to interfere with.
And she was left alone, feeling sad and embarrassed.
Another person who was not convinced was Shen Yurong. She tidied up her messy hair, put on an expression that she thought was charming, and walked to Zhou Jili's side, looking at him with shy eyes that wanted to say something.
Ever since this man appeared, Shen Yurong's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Chi Yi obviously has no hope, and this new man doesn't look much worse than Chi Yi. In order to get on the helicopter and have a stable life in the future, she decides to give it one more try.
Although she is not as beautiful as Ruan Guannan, she is still outstanding among the crowd. She doesn't believe that every man is as unromantic as Chi Yi.
When Zhou Jili looked over, Shen Yurong's face flushed slightly, and she asked shyly:
"Hello, can I come with you? I'm a little scared of riding in a car."
After saying that, he shrank back and looked really scared.
Unfortunately, she found the wrong person again. Zhou Jili looked at her with a half-smile and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you fly a helicopter?"
Shen Yurong was startled by the question and shook her head subconsciously.
"I'm sorry, but the place is full. I really can't..."
When Shen Yurong saw that there was a chance, her eyes lit up as she looked at him, and she subconsciously reached out to hold Zhou Jili's arm.
Zhou Jili's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he dodged to the side. Then, he heard him say in a casual tone, "I can only let you hang on the landing gear."
Shen Yurong looked at her blankly, "Landing gear?"
Zhou Jili smiled and kindly reminded, "It's the rack under the helicopter. When the time comes, hold on tight and I'll make sure you get to City A safely."
Shen Yurong looked at him in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, she smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed and annoyed, "If you don't want to sit, then don't sit. What's the big deal?"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the car.
Zhou Jili withdrew his gaze indifferently, not taking her appearance to heart at all.
He has seen this situation many times during so many rescue operations. There are countless people who voluntarily sacrifice themselves to seek protection from the strong in the base. As long as it is voluntary and does not involve the safety of the base, they basically will not interfere.
Everything was ready, and the group split into two groups and rushed to the base in City A.
Because the purpose of the City A base is to accommodate survivors from all over the country, part of the urban area close to the suburbs, as well as the larger suburbs, are included in the scope of the base. A high electrified iron fence is built around it to isolate the zombies outside the fence.
Now a group of survivors have been organized as a construction team to build a high wall inside the iron net for double protection.
Ruan Guannan and his team parked their helicopter on the helipad marked by the base. After a series of checks to ensure they were in good health, they were allowed to enter the base.
As the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the First Military Region, Chi Yi was assigned his own residence. Although Chi's father and mother were university teachers, they were also doctors. Therefore, as a relatively scarce professional and technical talent, they were also assigned residence.
However, according to the division of the area, it is definitely not as good as Chi Yi's place, but the couple insisted on not living with Chi Yi.
When Ruan Guannan arrived, Zhou Jili said directly: "My father, your uncle Zhou, has always been thinking about you. You can live with me at home."
Without waiting for Ruan Guannan to answer, Chi Yi held her hand and said, "It's fine if she lives with me. Let's go and rest first, and then I'll take her to see the base commander."
Ruan Guannan looked at his own tightly held hand, and saw the man's tight jaw. He obediently shook his hand back and rejected Zhou Jili's kindness.
When they were the only two people left on the road, Ruan Guannan moved his fingertips and said with amusement: "Chi Yi, you are sweating."
Chi Yi pursed his lips and whispered, "Well, I'll wipe it."
After saying that, he took out a pack of tissues from his bag and wiped it, then held her hand again and led her forward.
Ruan Guannan lagged behind him slightly and let him lead the way. When she looked up, she could see the man's exposed red ear tips, even his earlobes were stained red, and her eyes were filled with smiles.
Chi Yi didn't notice the change in her expression. His mind was in a mess. Thinking that they were about to live together, he felt uncomfortable but also had some inexplicable anticipation and restlessness.
