Chapter 888 888: Attacked From Both Sides ( 9 )
Wen Hanyu thought for a moment before he said, "Comrade, from what I know, the airports and docks were destroyed, and there is no way to leave the turtle island. How are you going to send my girlfriend and me back to Huaxia?"
"You don't have to worry about this matter; we have our way. You only need to have a good rest and get ready to leave tomorrow," Jin Xuyan replied.
After he said this, he turned to the members and asked, "Have you all eaten?"
Jian Huan nodded and replied, "Captain, we already ate dinner."
Since they had already eaten, Jiao Lizhi only took out two portions of dinner for her and her fiancé. After eating, they took the night watch duty and let the members rest.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the members woke up and did their morning exercise before taking a simple cold bath and having their breakfast.
When Wen Hanyu and his girlfriend woke up, it was because they smelled the fragrance of wonton soup.
Seeing them waking up, Jiao Lizhi pointed at the water boiling in the pot and said, "Use that water to wash your face and hands first. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Oh, okay," Wen Hanyu replied absent-mindedly.
10 minutes later, he and Shang Xixi returned from the bathroom. He returned the pot to Jiao Lizhi and asked, "Comrade, is there anything I can help with?"
Jin Xuyan handed two bowls of wonton soup to him and said, "No need. After breakfast, I will send you back."
Not knowing what he meant by that, Wen Hanyu could only nod. While they were having breakfast, one of the mutants asked, "Hey, don't you know that eating those things will turn you into a monster?"
"You actually believe that these supplies are the cause of the mutation?" Wen Hanyu said in surprise.
"Isn't that so?" the mutant asked back.
Wen Hanyu shook his head and explained, "The reason for the mutation is a parasite. This parasite can be transmitted through the air for a short time and through bodily fluids."
"Usually, it lives in the water. Unless you come into direct contact with the water, you won't be infected. Also, the parasite can only enter the body through wounds or orifices. So having the water touch your skin is alright."
"How do you know all this information?" another mutant asked.
"My boyfriend and I lived in the Red Cliff Base. We learned about this from them," Shang Xixi replied.
When the mutants heard the base's name, their eyes lit up.
Noticing this, Wen Hanyu said, "You'd better not go there. The base has been destroyed, and it is no longer under the control of the Silver Guards."
"Silver Guards? Who are they?" Jian Huan asked curiously.
"They are people who work for the facility. They always wear silver-white uniforms and use silver-colored nano weapons. That's how they got the name," Shang Xixi said as she took out her phone.
She showed a photo and added, "This is the only picture I have. I took it on the day I went to investigate the situation in the city with my team."
Jin Xuyan and the Phantom Team members came over to look at the photo. Seeing the weapon in the picture, Mo Junjie narrowed his eyes and said, "This is the latest model of my nano weapon."
"You are from the facility?!" Shang Xixi exclaimed as she raised her hand. The next second, her hand was covered with lightning sparks.
Seeing this, Du Beiye flicked her wrist. In less than a second, her bracelet turned into a dagger. With another flick, she threw the dagger at her.
The dagger flew at high speed, slashing Shang Xixi's palm and piercing the wall behind her.
Crack!
Due to the pain, the lightning on her palm disappeared. Before she could react, Du Beiye had already appeared behind her. She pressed the dagger against Shang Xixi's artery and said coldly, "If you want to die, move."
When Mo Junjie saw this, the corner of his lips lifted. The murderous intent in his eyes disappeared, and his cold gaze softened.
Wen Hanyu was frightened by the sudden situation. He stood up and said, "Comrade, please don't hurt Xixi. It's a misunderstanding."
Du Beiye pressed the dagger further, drawing a line of blood as she continued, "Your girlfriend didn't even bother to listen or ask, and wanted to attack my friend directly. Do you think I won't dare to kill both of you just because you are Wen Hanli's brother?"
Feeling the pain in her neck, Shang Xixi finally realized how arrogant she had been. After the apocalypse, she awakened her lightning-type ability, and her progress had been smoother than that of others.
Because of this, she had become one of the strongest ability-users in the entire Red Cliff Base. With so many people constantly praising her and flattering her, her arrogance and pride continued to grow.
She was young and naively thought that, with her current strength, few people could go against her. Only now did she realize that her thoughts had been too simple and naive.
She glanced at Jin Xuyan, hoping that he would say something to help her. But when she saw him focused on peeling boiled eggs for Jiao Lizhi, she no longer dared to place any hope on them.
"S-sister, I'm sorry. I…"
Before she could finish, Du Beiye pressed the dagger deeper and asked, "Who is your sister?"
"I…"
"You apologized to the wrong person," she added.
Finally understanding, Shang Xixi licked her lips and looked at Mo Junjie. "C-comrade, I'm sorry."
She had no excuses for her previous behavior, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
Mo Junjie was in a good mood and waved his hand. "I'll let you off this time."
Du Beiye raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She looked at him and saw him nod. Since he had already spoken, she had no objection.
She let Shang Xixi go and said, "Watch your attitude."
"Y-yes. I will keep it in mind," Shang Xixi nodded tremblingly.
