Chapter 72 Confession

When the car passed the first line of base defenses, it stopped for inspection. Qi Huan, who happened to be leaning on the back seat, woke up. Qi Huan weakly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with white. It took him a while to regain his vision.

"Are you awake?" Ji Zhan turned back to look at Qi Huan. Seeing that Qi Huan's consciousness had slowed down and he wanted to struggle to get up, he reminded, "The wound on your neck is not shallow. It's best not to move around. It's gone now."

We’ve arrived at the base and are queuing up for inspection.”

Qi Huan raised his hand and touched the gauze tied around his neck. The rough texture gave him a real feeling that he was still alive.

"Vice...Captain..." Qi Huan turned his neck with difficulty, and then saw Zhao Ziwei beside him.

Zhao Ziwei's face was ashen, and most of his face was wrapped in gauze. If it weren't for the rising and falling of his chest that could be seen, people would have thought he was a corpse.

"The two seriously injured people were carried on stretchers. A preliminary check was done first. They must be confirmed not to be infected before they can be sent to the hospital."

Relevant personnel wearing protective clothing were arranging stretchers outside, and Ji Zhan and Jing Sa also cooperated to get out of the car.

Qi Huan and Zhao Ziwei were carried out by the staff. Qi Huan was lying on the stretcher. When he passed by Ji Zhan, he asked in a hoarse voice: "The deputy captain's eyes..."

Ji Zhan pursed his lips and replied truthfully: "His right eye was eaten by a monster."

Qi Huan felt as if his heart had been hit by a giant hammer. He bit his trembling lower lip and raised his hands to cover his eyes.

Ji Zhan didn't know how to comfort Qi Huan. She knew that Zhao Ziwei and Qi Huan were like brothers. Now that Zhao Ziwei is like this, Qi Huan is the most uncomfortable.

The staff carrying the stretcher nodded to Ji Zhan and then continued to carry the stretcher forward.

After leaving Ji Zhan's side, Qi Huan finally seemed to want to cry loudly, with a whining sound coming from his throat, but he no longer wanted to be willful and timid.

His cowardice and willfulness almost killed his companions!

Qi Huan bit the back of his hand to swallow all his cries, and the wound on his neck began to ooze blood again.

He has no right to cry, nor does he have the right to cry loudly without any burden like a child who has not grown up.

The tears in his eyes blurred the light, but after they fell, the scene he could see would be clearer and brighter.



Ji Zhan and Jing Sa passed the inspection and drove the off-road vehicle directly back to the apartment. They had already given the information they needed to give, and even if they were asked again, it would still be the same information.

Adjutant Lin knew that they wanted to go back and have a rest, so he generously granted leave. He also reminded him: "If you want to have a good rest, remember to block the terminal communication with Cheng Yue first. That guy doesn't care about you."

Whether you are tired or not, as long as you can still move, he will dispatch you."

Ji Zhan thought for a while and realized that this was indeed something Cheng Yue could do, so he listened to Adjutant Lin's suggestion and blocked the terminal communication with Cheng Yue.

After Ji Zhan blocked it himself, he didn't forget to help Jing Sa do it too.

Jing Sa and Ji Zhan drove the off-road vehicle into the garage underground of the apartment. There were many cars parked in the garage, and a robot that could automatically repair vehicles was at work.

Jing Sa backed the car into the parking space. Because the car was a material assigned by the mission, he could not take the car keys away at will.

Jing Sa and Ji Zhan got out of the car, and soon a maintenance robot approached and started working. They didn't need to worry about the rest. After the car was repaired, it would be transferred to other people according to the tasks assigned above.

The two went upstairs, and it wasn't until they closed the door that Ji Zhan felt like he was alive again.

Ji Zhan slowly sat down with his back against the door, closed his eyes and wanted to sleep.

"Don't sleep here, go take a shower first." Jing Sa squatted down and tried to help Ji Zhan up.

Ji Zhan opened one eye and said sleepily: "No..."

After being in the wild for so many days, even though I rested in a temporary base, my body was still dirty and smelled of monsters. I was so nervous during the battle that I didn't pay attention to these details. When I relaxed, I found it a bit unbearable.

"No, go take a shower quickly, otherwise we will both get pickled." Jing Sa insisted, holding Ji Zhan's armpits and picking her up.

Ji Zhan seemed to be awake, staring at Jing Sa like a lazy cat, then put his arms around his neck and wrapped his legs around his waist.

The whole person hung on Jing Sa like a koala.

Jing Sa's body stiffened for a moment, and the roots of Ji Zhan's ears were a little red, but she still hugged Jing Sa forcefully.

Ji Zhan's voice was soft and a little hoarse. She leaned on Jing Sa's shoulder and asked, "Jing Sa, are we a couple?"

Although Ji Zhan is slow about feelings, his previous slowness was because he had never experienced it.

She grew up in a research institute, and no one treated her well or gave her love. Her understanding of so-called friendship, family affection, and love all came from one-sided explanations in books.

It wasn't until Jing Sa kissed her forehead that she seemed to understand the true meaning.

Although she was slow, once she regained consciousness, she seemed eager to hold Jing Sa tightly.

Probably because he was slower than others, it wasn't until the words were spoken and his heart was beating a little faster that Ji Zhan vaguely understood that such a confession would make people feel nervous and shy.

But Ji Zhan doesn't like to hesitate, and she doesn't worry about the future. She only lives in the present.

So she is straightforward and passionate.

When he didn't hear Jing Sa's response, Ji Zhan impatiently bumped Jing Sa's head and asked, "Aren't we?"

Jing Sa seemed to have calmed down, chuckled and said, "I was just wondering, since I am your boyfriend now, can I help you take a bath?"

Jing Sa responded with a small, powerful fist hitting his chest, almost causing him to vomit blood.

Ji Zhan is just a little slow, but not an idiot. She can still tell clearly whether he will be taken advantage of.

By the time the two of them packed themselves up, it was already dark outside.

Ji Zhan felt quite awake after taking a shower. He was wearing a set of loose pajamas and sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, holding a pillow in his hand and staring at the stars hanging high in the night.

"Come here for dinner." Jing Sa made egg fried rice in the kitchen, brought it to the restaurant and saw Ji Zhan sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Zhan raised his head and looked at Jing Sa with dark eyes, "Did you hear that?"

"What?" Jing Sa didn't know what Ji Zhan was referring to at this moment.

"The sound of wind outside."
