Chapter 67 - 67

Chapter 67 Jiang Qinian ReturnsLin Anran stopped Lin Yu, who was about to enter the tent, and said, "Don't go in yet, let him rest.""...good."Lin Yu hung his head, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged. "Still...too weak!""You're great! Lin Yu, don't be sad."Lin Anran reached out and hugged the boy who was a head older than her, and a warm feelingexploded in Lin Yu's heart.He was heartbroken and ready to hug his older sister.Suddenly, someone rushed forward and ripped off his salty pig's trotter."Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!"He looked up and met a familiar pair of eyes. "Brother Jiang?! You, you let go! It hurts!"Jiang Qinian snorted coldly, shook off the dirty hand, and looked pitifully at the bewildered Lin Anran." Ranran, you're hugging another man! While I was away!"Before Lin Anran could even question her, Jiang Qinian started acting unreasonably, looking like a wronged little wife."No, no, Lin Yu is my younger brother."The man's eyes were full of grievance. Lin Anranhated herself for acting like a scumbag woman. How awful!She reached out and hugged the aggrieved man, gently patting his back.Jiang Qinian raised an eyebrow at Lin Yuprovocatively, as if to say, "So what? Your sister is mine alone!"Lin Yu: He's an actor! He's an actor! Sis, you can't be fooled by him!A sharp, icy glint flashed across his forehead. "Sis, I think I heard Ah Chen wake up. I'll go in and check on him."The moment he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot."By the way! Where did you go just now?"Lin Anran finally remembered the important matter: the small horde of zombies had almost swallowed the three of them whole, and this person had actually disappeared without a trace, making her worry for so long."There's a mid-level wood-type zombie. I'm going to catch him!"Jiang Qinian pulled a Crystal Core from her pocket like a treasure, emitting an unusual green light."This is for you, Ranran."Lin Anran was deeply attracted to Crystal Core. She could feel that absorbing Crystal Corewould allow her to make a great breakthrough."Although, you can't risk your life by yourself alone! You have no idea how worried I am about you!"I'm worried about you...Are you worried about him? But he could easily swat that bug to death with two slaps. It's just that it ran away too fast and hid, making it a little hard to find."I'm very good!"The two were being all lovey-dovey outside, andLin Yu and Gu Chen watched with wide eyes through the gaps in the tent.Lin Yu: "Holy crap! He hugged her again! What did that jerk give my sister? She's so happy."Gu Chen, who had just woken up, said, "I don't know, it must be something good.""They're coming!"Lin Yu quickly got up and knocked the unsuspecting Gu Chen flying."Ouch! That hurts!"Fortunately, there was a mattress behind him,which protected Gu Chen's arm; otherwise, he would have fainted again."Can you be a little quieter! You're making such a fuss, you scared me to death!"Feeling ashamed, Lin Yu quickly helped him up."I was wrong! I was wrong! I was just afraid my sister and the others would find out if I peeked."Lin Anran lifted the tent flap. "Awake? Xiao Chen! Still in pain?"Gu Chen shook his head, "...It doesn't hurt anymore."It didn't hurt much just now, but when that idiot bumped into him, he almost lost his mind."That's good. You get some rest. We'll rest here for another day and set off again tomorrow!"Except for Jiang Qinian, who chased after themand was clean, the three of them looked like they had been rolling in the mud.With a wave of his hand, Lin Anran caused the group, along with the tent, to vanish from the spot." Lin Yu, take Xiao Chen to take a bath. Be careful with the wound and don't let it get wet."Lin Yu: "Okay, sis, don't worry about it, leave it to me!"Gu Chen's wound prevented him from eating spicy food. After taking a shower, Lin Anranglanced at the tablet, tapped a few times, and a light millet porridge, steamed buns, and donkey meat sandwiches appeared on the table.Wow! It smells so good! It smells like xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).Lin Anran chuckled: "That dog's nose is pretty sharp!""Of course!" Lin Yu patted his chest proudly.Lin Anran beckoned, " Xiao Chen, come here, let me check if your wound got wet. Let me change the dressing again.""Okay!" Gu Chen obediently sat down.The gruesome wound was exposed, and Lin Yugasped for breath as if his arm were injured.Jiang Qinian's sinister gaze swept over the arm.Only the person involved felt a chill run through his body. Gu Chen gritted his teeth, staring at the rotting flesh, without uttering a sound."Alright! Let's eat!"Lin Anran threw the blood-soaked cotton ball into the trash can and put the first-aid kit into the cabinet.After taking a sip of warm millet porridge, the group exhaled simultaneously, "Ah, that's refreshing!"Thinking about the zombie horde they encountered today, Lin Anran felt a vague unease.Although it was much smaller than the zombie horde she encountered in her previous life, there shouldn't be so many zombies in this place unless someone deliberately led the way.It seems we can't linger outside for too long. We'll finish the mission tomorrow and head back to base as soon as possible.They didn't get a good rest last night, so they slept in the rooms in the space and didn't wake up until three or four in the afternoon.Gu Chen repeatedly emphasized that his arm was fine, but he was afraid that if they stayed in this place for too long, another zombie horde would break out, so he suggested that they set off now.Unable to dissuade him, Lin Anran had no choice but to drive everyone on the road. The journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe, asJiang Qinian easily resolved most of the issues.He also gained two young admirers who idolized him greatly.Just as Lin Anran had predicted, the hospital was indeed teeming with zombies, including several mutated zombie leaders.On the way, Lin Anran used the intermediate wood-type Crystal Core that Jiang Qinian gave her to level up twice, and now she has reached the peak of level eight of the mutated wood-element ability.Lin Yu and Gu Chen also leveled up thanks to the Crystal Core they used during that small zombie horde, and now they are more than capable of dealing with these zombies.After collecting all the supplies, Lin Anran led the three of them back without stopping. Although it wasn't snowing, the weather was exceptionally cold.They had to wear thick military overcoats to barely withstand the biting cold wind.Perhaps due to the drop in temperature, there were hardly any large groups of zombies along the way. There were only scattered zombies moving slowly in the roadside grass, which was warmer than usual."This is so strange! Sis, there isn't a single zombie."Lin Yu pressed his face against the window, breathing on it to fog up the transparent glass.He wiped it clean, but couldn't see a single zombie outside."Yeah! Zombies get cold too. They're probably hiding inside buildings right now, but once the temperature rises, there might be a zombie horde!"Lin Yu:!!!"Another zombie horde! Even though I'm very strong, I can't withstand this onslaught! It's more tiring than running 1000 meters."Gu Chen agreed wholeheartedly, adding that he was also terrified of running the 1000 meters; his legs would go weak as soon as the whistle blew.*Pfft*With a loud bang, the car swayed back and forth and suddenly crashed into a roadside rock.Lin Yu didn't react in time and bumped her head into the front seat."Holy crap! That hurts so much!"Fortunately, everyone wore their seatbelts, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here now.Lin Anran frowned. "The tire's blown out!"Before the group could react, a group of about twenty people suddenly rushed out of the surrounding bushes.A man wearing a tattered sweater walked up and knocked on the window with an iron bar. "Come out, come out now!"
