Xu Qian patted his shoulder and comforted him softly.
"I'm fine."
Xiang Jintian breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Ziming had sent word that there were Level 4 zombies in the market and needed military reinforcements.
No matter how powerful Xu Qian was, she hadn't fought a Level 4 zombie before.
In his heart, she wasn't omnipotent.
Gu Ziming's eyes darkened, and he turned to leave of his own accord.
Mei Yuebai rushed over, scanned her with his eyes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Xixi, no matter what happens, your safety is the most important thing, understand?"
Don't blame him for being heartless; in his heart, Xu Qian was the most important.
If he had to choose between her getting injured and a few people dying, he would rather those people die quickly.
The silver-haired man's gaze was sincere, not a trace of pretense.
Completely different from a certain man in Hope Base.
Xu Qian's heart trembled slightly, and she smiled on her face, changing the subject.
"You all must be busy now. How did Level 4 zombies infiltrate the base? And their appearance is almost identical to normal humans..."
The brows of both men furrowed simultaneously, each with their own thoughts.
Xiang Jintian pondered for a moment and said, "I'll raise the base's defense level to 1 now and screen all outsiders one by one."
Mei Yuebai nodded and said, "I'll go to a meeting..." He paused, looked at the girl beside him, and showed remorse.
"Miss Xixi, we might be busy for a while..."
Xu Qian waved her hand, not caring at all.
Her main purpose for coming was to deliver the REP vaccine and to see them.
Now that her main objective was basically accomplished, she only had Gu Ziming's friendship points that weren't fully maxed out, and she also wanted to stay a bit longer.
She hadn't felt this relaxed in a very, very long time.
For the next two weeks, they were very busy. Xu Qian, when free, would find people from the Sun and Moon team to play with, and also make sure to be seen by Gu Ziming and Ming Letong.
Occasionally, she would go to the market for barbecue and chat with Li Zhou.
Bright Base was under martial law, with military patrols on the roads. Everything was orderly and handled very well.
In the evening, Xu Qian slowly walked home.
Her path back to her room passed by Mei Yuebai's office. Xu Qian's hearing was too good; she could basically hear bits and pieces of their conversation, but she wasn't interested in eavesdropping.
However, this time, a familiar voice was mixed in, clear and devoid of emotion.
This kind of voice was very memorable; Xu Qian recognized who it was almost instantly.
Master Tongwu.
Xu Qian's dark eyes flickered. Master Tongwu lived up to his reputation as a prophet.
Everything he guessed was accurate. He had told her not to go to G City unless absolutely necessary, and indeed, she had gone.
Then, she had become a zombie.
Would he also know what would happen in two years...
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Xu Qian, caught off guard, met those pair of coffee-colored eyes.
Both of them were startled.
Xu Qian pursed her lips into a smile. She seemed to have said "long time no see" many times recently.
"Master Tongwu, long time no see."
Tongwu's hand, which was holding prayer beads, stopped. He lowered his eyes and chanted Amitabha. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He sighed and slowly walked up to her, standing still.
"Benefactress, you still went to G City."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. Nothing could be hidden from him.
"I had no choice. I'm doing quite well now."
Tongwu was still wearing his simple yellow monk's robe. His brow furrowed like the clear moon, and he sighed again. "It's good if Benefactress feels she is doing well."
Xu Qian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly, "May I speak with you in private?"
Tongwu nodded, and Xu Qian led him to a stone table in the distance.
This spot was neither very secret nor entirely public, but it was convenient for conversation.
Mei Yuebai probably wouldn't be jealous of a monk, would he?
