Ji Zhan's hand in front of him had been clenched into a fist unconsciously, and he breathed out gently, his face full of fear and guard against Shi Ye.
The fear that Tokoyami brought to her could not be eliminated in a day or two. Even though she knew that her own force could completely crush Tokoye, the mental shackles had not completely disappeared.
Defective.
Humanoid weapons.
Replacement surgery…
These shackles weighed on Ji Zhan's heart for a full sixteen years.
"Fighting is prohibited in the inner base. I came to see you today just to care about you." Shiye raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
Ji Zhan looked disgusted and said: "No need."
Shi Ye raised the corners of his lips inexplicably, and the corners of his eyes curved up. The tear mole under his eyes was exactly the same as Ji Zhan's. He asked, "Have you seen any abnormality in the various values of your body's functions recently?"
Ji Zhan frowned and did not respond to Shi Ye.
Tokoye continued to mutter to himself indifferently: "It's really troublesome. It's almost the fourth year, and I don't know how long the organs you replaced will last."
Shiye's words hit Ji Zhan's heart like a heavy hammer. Ji Zhan looked at him with wide eyes, "What do you mean?!"
Shiye seemed very satisfied with Ji Zhan's reaction at this moment. He took a step forward, leaned over Ji Zhan's ear and said, "If you want to know everything, come to the research institute to find me. You have to be early, otherwise..."
However, before Tokoye could finish his words, his shoulder was suddenly grabbed by a force from behind, and then he was violently thrown back.
Shiye also stumbled awkwardly before regaining his footing, and looked at the young man standing in front of Ji Zhan with a cold look.
"Who are you? You are acting like a gangster here in broad daylight. Believe it or not, I will arrest you and send you to the district management team for a few days!" Qi Huan raised his whole body like spikes and pointed at Shi Ye. Just now he saw this man wearing dark brown
After the man in the windbreaker said something to Ji Zhan, Ji Zhan's expression changed, and then the man actually took advantage of it and stuck it on Ji Zhan's body!
Qi Huan was so angry that someone actually dared to pry into Jing Sa's corner!!!
Of course Qi Huan couldn't bear it and rushed over directly.
It was true that he secretly loved Ji Zhan, and he also knew that Ji Zhan and Jing Sa were already together. Although he often imagined that Ji Zhan and Jing Sa could break up early, he would never allow Ji Zhan and Jing Sa to separate because they were separated.
Someone other than him has taken advantage of the situation!
Moreover, the man's posture just now seemed like he was bullying Ji Zhan, so Qi Huan impulsively pulled him away.
Shi Ye patted the clothes that had just been wrinkled by Qi Huan. He just glanced at Qi Huan and did not take Qi Huan seriously. He continued to look at Ji Zhan and said, "Well, see you next time."
.”
Shi Ye turned around and left, ignoring the furious Qi Huan behind him.
"Who are you threatening? If you dare to get close to Ji Zhan again, I will punch you directly next time!"
Qi Huan was so angry that he wanted to catch up and warn Shi Yeyi, but Ji Zhan grabbed his sleeve.
Qi Huan looked back at Ji Zhan, who looked a little pale, and asked worriedly: "Sister Ji Zhan, are you okay? Has the wound recurred? Do you want me to carry you to the hospital? You look so ugly..."
Ji Zhan shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"What happened to that person just now..."
"Forget what happened just now." Ji Zhan interrupted Qi Huan's words that wanted to continue exploring. When he saw Qi Huan's worried look, he calmed down his emotions and returned to his usual dull and monotonous look, "This is my private matter.
I don’t want you to get involved.”
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment. He was filled with enthusiasm as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He drooped his head and responded with some grievance in his voice: "Okay."
Ji Zhan paused, looked at Qi Huan's lowered hair, and said, "Thank you for standing in front of me just now."
As expected, Qi Huan was coaxed by Ji Zhan's words. He cheered up again and said to Ji Zhan: "You're welcome. If someone bullies you, I will stand in front of you no matter how many times."
Qi Huan grinned and showed a shy smile.
Ji Zhan's mood was also healed by Qi Huan's frankness. He temporarily suppressed his depressed and complicated mood because of Shi Ye's words just now, and turned to Qi Huan and asked: "Why are you here? Didn't you go to the training ground with the vice-captain?
Yet?"
Qi Huan replied: "My training in the morning has just ended, and the vice-captain is still training, so I thought of coming here to buy something. Because I was not at home all the time, a lot of food at home was spoiled and a lot was wasted."
Speaking of the wasted food, Qi Huan felt very sad. He clicked on the virtual panel of the trading square and started to re-select food.
This was the first time Ji Zhan heard Qi Huan talk about things at home, and he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you have any family at home?"
Qi Huan paused slightly and then said: "My parents and I were separated after the beginning of the apocalypse. After that, my uncle's family and I came to live in the Fifth Security Base, but my relationship with my uncle's family is not very good.
So after I became an evolver, I moved into the inner base and lived alone."
Qi Huan was unwilling to prepare for the worst. He always believed that his parents just fled to other bases and had no way to come over.
Ji Zhan thought of the way he fled from Area B to the Fifth Security Base three years ago. There were people fleeing along the way. The greatness and darkness of human nature were all revealed during that journey.
Some people can take risks to lure away monsters in order to keep their loved ones alive. When they are finally killed by monsters, they are still shouting for them to run away. There are also people who will abandon their conscience and push the weak out in order to keep themselves alive.
, and then live on the corpses of the weak.
At that time, Ji Zhan did not intervene to save anyone, nor did she harm anyone. She just looked at the way those people chose to live with indifference, whether it was great or despicable, it had nothing to do with her. She did not think about it.
Being responsible for other people's lives is also Ji Zhan's way of survival.
…
After finishing shopping with Qi Huan, perhaps because of what Jing Sa said yesterday, Ji Zhan stopped when walking past a coffee shop.
"Want to eat cake together?" Ji Zhan asked Qi Huan.
She remembered that when she was still in college, classmates with whom she was close would often meet up to have coffee and cake after the classes.
At that time, Ji Zhan also followed their example and went to the coffee shop, but after entering, she found that she was so out of place in the coffee shop alone, so she almost ran out as if she was running away.
"I, me, me, is Sister Ji Zhan dating me?!" Qi Huan was excited and incoherent for a moment, rounding it all off, wouldn't it mean that he was dating Sister Ji Zhan!
Ji Zhan nodded without changing his expression, and then said hesitantly: "We are friends, right?"
