After Dawn Chapter 17: Rebirth in the last days (4)
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Junyu grabbed Bai Yi's collar and looked at him angrily like a lone wolf who had lost his partner.
Bai Yi and Jiang Junyu can be regarded as acquaintances, they are used to their hippie smiles, and it is rare to see him lose his temper like this.
"Calm down." Bai Yi calmly grabbed his hand and glanced at the person on the bed, or the corpse, "Look for yourself, is she still alive?"
Jiang Junyu grabbed his hand and slowly relaxed, Bai Yi clearly felt the trembling of his fingertips. He knew that Jiang Junyu didn't know that the person on the bed was helpless, he just didn't want to believe it.
Mo Qingran, who was placed on the bed, lay there quietly, with a delicate and lovely appearance. If it weren't for the blood on her face and stains all over her body, she looked like a Barbie doll who couldn't speak.
Jiang Junyu walked over, then knelt on one knee on the ground beside the bed, grabbed Mo Qingran's right hand, and placed a kiss on the wound on his wrist.
Bai Yi heard him murmur in a low voice: "Qingran, Qingran, it would be better if you were selfish..."
"If you're selfish, at least you won't die right before my eyes, whether you can get to safety or not."
"If you're selfish, even if we can't stay together until the end of the day, at least we will be together forever."
Jiang Junyu's voice has been very calm, without too much emotion, but his eyes are red, as if blood is about to drip inside.
Don't look away in white clothes, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a bit cruel.
"Junyu, people can't be resurrected from the dead, cry if you want." He comforted.
Jiang Junyu ignored it, took out a red heart-shaped flannel box from his arms, opened it, and inside was a simple and generous ring.
"Qing Ran, I have been preparing the ring for a long time, waiting for a suitable time to propose to you."
"Qing Ran, if you don't speak, I will take it as your default."
"Qing Ran, we'll get married when we get home, and we'll be together forever and ever."
Mo Qingran's left hand had been bitten off by the zombie dog, leaving only half of her arm. Jiang Junyu took her right hand and put the ring into her ring finger seriously.
Jiang Junyu had already put on a men's ring of the same style on his left hand. He got up, intertwined his fingers with Mo Qingran, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Sorry, I failed to protect you."
……
Qingran did not leave this mission world, but was imprisoned within three meters of Mo Qingran's body in the form of a ghost.
The time for her mission hasn't come yet. The time between when she entered this world and when Mo Qingran's body died was only four hours, or about two hours.
She has no regrets about advancing Mo Qingran's death. As a special tasker, each task of Qingran is limited to 24 hours. To complete the task in such a short time, some special means are necessary.
Qing Ran looked at the sadness on Jiang Junyu's face, perhaps because she lost her body, she felt a little empty in her heart, but she couldn't tell what she felt.
……
Today's night is coming much earlier than in the past, and many zombies wandered near the Jiang's warehouse, and were killed by the guards with silencer guns.
Because most of the things in the Jiang's warehouse are invisible, each warehouse is equivalent to a small base, not only with strong defense measures, but also a lot of people guarding it. When the apocalypse comes, perhaps it is because the Jiang family's body is relatively strong. The proportion of zombies outside is as high as 60%, but it is only 12% here, that is, a few medical staff with poor physical fitness. became a zombie.
The network for the call was completely destroyed at the moment of the end of the world. Even after a few hours, it could not be restored. Everyone's mobile phone showed a state of no signal, but fortunately there was a radio hidden in the warehouse. The communication equipment can be contacted with the Jiang family outside the city.
The situation of the Jiang family is better than expected. Generally speaking, there is no major chaos, but the situation of the Mo family as a neighbor is somewhat worrying. It is said that the head of the family, Mo's father, has gone to protect Mo's mother. Mo's mother, who finally survived, was also scratched by a zombie, but she did not turn into a zombie for the time being, but fell into a coma and is now feverish. Jiang's father took in Jiang Junyu's friendship with Mo Qingran, took in the unconscious Mo's mother, and injected her with fever-reducing medicine. But for everyone's safety, after all, no one knows whether the zombie virus is contagious, so she was locked in a room alone. Whether she can wake up depends on her fortune.
It should have been Jiang Junyu who was in charge of the overall situation, but because of Mo Qingran, he seemed particularly low-hearted, and the task of contacting the Jiang family fell on Bai Yi. After all, he is the person with the highest status here besides Jiang Junyu.
Glancing at Jiang Junyu, who had been silently standing beside Mo Qingran's bed, Bai Yi sighed, turned and walked out, carefully closing the door.
——I hope that the Jiang family can cheer up tomorrow.
Jiang Junyu has been staring greedily at Mo Qingran's face, as if to engrave her facial features in his heart, so that no matter how many years have passed, he will never forget her.
As time passed, his nerves, which had been tense for a whole day, began to scream exhaustion. He climbed into bed and put Mo Qingran in his arms, but did not close his eyes. Looking at her obsessively.
He didn't understand how such a small person would have the courage to cut the arteries of his own hands.
He doesn't understand why someone who has already escaped danger should pay the price of his life to save him.
He doesn't understand...
The vision blurred a little bit, Jiang Junyu's nerves relaxed a little bit, and Mo Qingran's smiling face seemed to appear in front of him again.
"Brother Junyu!"
Basic skill, Dreaming, activate.
……
"Junyu, why are you in a daze?" One hand tugged Jiang Junyu fiercely, and Mo Yuanyuan's somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded in his ear.
The zombie's claws rubbed against his ear, and the cold touch woke him up instantly.
He came back to his senses, and there was still confusion in his eyes, but he quickly reacted, grabbed the long knife in his hand, and slashed at the zombies in front of him.
"Boss, what's the matter with you today? Are you distracted during the battle?" Back in a safe place, a black and thin man leaned forward and asked. His name is Heizi, and he is one of Jiang Junyu's confidants.
"It's fine." Jiang Junyu frowned slightly, not wanting everyone to worry about himself, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go upstairs to rest first."
The expression on his face has never been much, so Kuroko didn't see any abnormality.
Mo Yuanyuan put the cooked food on the table, which drew cheers from her teammates.
"Sister Mo, you really have foresight!"
"It's a blessing to be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day!"
Mo Yuanyuan pursed her lips and smiled at everyone, looking shy and modest: "I'm just a prodigal daughter who was inspired by supernatural powers earlier and likes to stock up. "
"Junyu may be in a bad state today, I'll give him something to eat."
What followed was a group of big men winking and winking, and everyone had an "I understand I understand" expression: "Sister Mo, remember to bring your share and eat with the boss. Ah!"
Mo Yuanyuan glared at the speaker, but her eyes lacked any power, more like she was trying to hide it.
Although Jiang Junyu closed the door, as a power user, the voice downstairs was very clear in his ears. In the past, he didn't feel much about this kind of ridicule, but today he feels a little irritable for no reason.
"Junyu?" Mo Yuanyuan knocked on the door, but there was no sound of walking. After thinking about it, Jiang Junyu should have started to practice with crystal cores. She felt a little regretful, but she didn't do too much. The entanglement, just said, "Junyu, if you are finished practicing, come to me to get food."
After confirming that Mo Yuanyuan was gone, Jiang Junyu held a crystal nucleus in his hand, closed his eyes and started to practice. There was something in his heart today, and he thought he couldn't quickly enter the cultivation state. He didn't expect that almost as soon as he closed his eyes, he could feel the energy flowing out of the crystal nucleus and seeping into his skin.
Suddenly, an unprecedented pain came from his hand holding the core, and it swept through his entire body almost instantly. The scene in front of him became distorted, and his sanity was a little blurred. In such pain, a person's face suddenly became clear.
"Qing Ran..." He looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, and couldn't help shouting. After shouting, he came back to his senses, and the expression on his face instantly became disgusted, "What are you doing? Haven't you killed me yet?"
"No no no... How could Qing Ran hurt me, obviously she saved me."
"She was the one who pushed me into the zombie group, and Yuanyuan saved me."
"No, Qing Ran died to save me, what Mo Yuanyuan?"
……
Jiang Junyu fell into a painful self-pulling, as if there were two people struggling in his body, two memories were intertwined, and he couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake .
He clearly remembered that when he escaped with Mo Qingran, she pushed herself into the zombie group in order to escape, but in his mind, Mo Qingran was lying on the ground dripping with blood. , begging him to live well.
On the one hand, he felt extremely desperate for Mo Qingran's betrayal, but on the other hand, he grieved for Mo Qingran's sacrifice.
"Qingran, Qingran..." He closed his eyes, and the images of the past appeared over and over in his mind, Mo Qingran's smile, Mo Qingran's tears, everything he had forced himself to forget about Mo Qingran Everything, all replayed in his mind, what had passed for several years or even decades, was as clear as yesterday.
Mo Yuanyuan opened the door, and before she could hide the joy in Jiang Junyu's eyes, who was standing outside the door, she heard him ask in a hoarse voice, "Where is Mo Qingran?"
