Chapter 10 The determination to fight to the death
After the meeting, Lin Zuzu declined Li Qing's proposal to send her back.
The three people from Team 11 continued the discussion from the previous meeting.
"It's blood." It was Yi Tingxie who spoke, and Li Qin, who knew him very well, immediately asked, "Did you draw blood from a seriously injured patient in addition to the doctor's examination?"
After being exposed, Yi Tingxie curled his lips and said, "It's just a syringe."
"It's best for you to use an ordinary syringe." Li Qing muttered in a low voice.
This research madman has ten models of syringes.
"Captain, did you find anything?"
"There is a certain powerful factor in her blood that makes her own blood extremely aggressive. This allows her to temporarily gain powerful strength, even reaching the level of a B-level warrior. It's a bit like a cold when a person is sick.
Fever is all about fighting off the rejection reaction of the virus.”
"But, what is the opportunity that can trigger such a reaction?"
"A strong desire to live?"
After watching the hand-to-hand fight intermittently through videos from various angles, Li Qing felt her will to live.
Is it really that simple?
"Captain, don't be late for your work report tomorrow, um..." Li Qin looked at the slovenly man, frowned slightly and said, "The boss is very angry, I suggest you do some image management before going."
Hearing this, Yi Tingxie held his forehead in pain.
In every sense of the word, he had to shed his skin.
***
Since the supporting character is bound to die no matter what, then he might as well just push open that damn door.
So, at eleven o'clock in the night, Lin Zuzu was wandering on the street, walking aimlessly for a long time.
No, she has a purpose.
In other words, she herself is part of the purpose——
As bait to lure out Elise.
From the afternoon meeting, she was convinced that someone from the Intelligence Agency must be secretly monitoring her and protecting her, so all she could do now was to make herself "defenseless."
"Hey, newcomer."
Suddenly, a voice came from above.
Lin Zuzu looked up, and under the silvery moonlight, she saw him——
The man who pulled her out of self-destructive hell.
Yi Tingxie rested her chin on the window with her right hand, held a cigarette in her left hand and stretched out the window. Her long hair was tied casually at the back of her neck. She looked soft and obedient, and her whole person was lazy and wanton.
The most important thing is that he shaved!
At this time, his eyebrows were clear and indifferent, his nose was straight, and his lips and chin were delicate. Although he still had that careless expression, he had a somewhat youthful clarity.
The girl was about to say hello, but saw the man move.
Yi Tingxie put out his cigarette in the ashtray nearby and jumped out of the window.
The white T-shirt, black shorts, and flip-flops in pajamas really conveyed the meaning of fluttering clothes. He fell in front of the girl like a worldly immortal.
Just in time, I broke into her world.
This is the sixth floor...
"Police...captain, good evening."
Somehow she walked back downstairs to Team 11, which was about four kilometers away from her home.
"It's really late. Why are you still out? You can't sleep either?"
Also? Lin Zuzu discovered the point.
"Yeah." She responded, not wanting to reveal her shallow thoughts.
"Okay, let's go, newcomers." Yi Tingxie said and walked out of the community.
Different from the rules observed by the Li siblings, after that day's "transaction", Yi Tingxie called her a "newcomer", as if she was bound to join.
At this point, she felt more and more grateful.
"Is there any mission?"
"I'm hungry, let's go have a midnight snack."
ah?
Lin Zuzu remembered that he hadn't eaten anything for a day, so he quickly followed him.
Yi Tingxie was hunched over with his hands in his pockets and shuffling around, looking like a streetwalker.
After walking for five or six minutes and turning into a certain alley, Lin Zuzu seemed to have entered another world, as if there was a barrier that separated this heated space from the quiet reality outside.
Grilled cold noodles, fried skewers, fried noodle stalls, sugar water shops...you name it. Maybe it was a working day, so there weren't too many people, but there were customers in twos and threes in front of each stall, and it was still a lively atmosphere.
"Oh, little girl, are you okay?"
There was a hint of familiarity in this voice. Lin Zuzu looked up and found that it was the fried noodle uncle who was setting up a stall on the roadside that day.
"Know?" Yi Tingxie held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the girl next to him and stuffed the cigarette back.
"Ah... um."
"Then let's eat here." As he said that, he sat down on the plastic chair.
"Boss, bring me some beef fried rice noodles, how about you?"
Lin Zuzu thought for a moment, then a faint wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "Fried noodles with shredded pork."
"Okay!~" The uncle enthusiastically stir-fried onions, ginger, and garlic in the oil to make them fragrant, and kept talking about things.
"You said such a scary thing happened, but the official said it was for filming a movie. Are you fooling ghosts?"
"That's not true." Yi Tingxie was bored and responded to his uncle's words one after another.
"With such a long knife, it was split open by the car in one go. How scary it was."
"I just don't know how to solve it in the end. Little girl, you ran late. Did you see anything?"
"I..." Lin Zuzu was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and complicated emotions surged into his heart.
"Hey, it's hard to talk about this matter. If the superiors don't tell us, they must have their own considerations. Uncle, don't you think so?"
Yi Tingxie suddenly interrupted and gently protected the girl's panic behind him.
"That makes sense... Hey, we ordinary people can just live a stable life."
After a while, the uncle served two portions of fragrant fried noodles.
"How much?"
"No, please treat the little girl to food. You are her boyfriend, so you have to take good care of her. Last time, she was all covered in bandages. She looks healthy now, but she has lost a little weight. She has to eat well.
"
Yi Tingxie smiled helplessly and felt that it would be too troublesome to explain, so he did not deny it in a hurry.
"Thank you, uncle." Lin Zuzu felt his eyes sore.
"Hey, no thanks, please eat quickly."
Lin Zuzu picked up a chopstick of fried noodles and put it in his mouth. He chewed it a few times, but found that his throat was tight and he couldn't swallow it.
Is this the taste that you secretly ate with your dad when you were a kid?
If I ate it with my mother that day, would it taste like this?
A tear fell into the plate.
Seeing this, Yi Tingxie silently pushed the tissue on the table toward her, then put down his chopsticks and went to the side to smoke with his uncle.
…
"Yes, yes, that's it. Uncle, take another one."
While Yi Tingxie handed the cigarette to the uncle, he turned his head slightly and looked at the girl.
She was crying while trying hard to stuff fried noodles into her mouth, her cheeks bulging.
Yi Tingxie knew in his heart that the occurrence of such a tragedy was more or less related to the mission he had assigned at that time.
