Chapter 46: Causing Trouble
Noticing the two girls whispering in front of a sign, Gu Yunqing stepped forward and asked, "What are you discussing?"
"This." Su Qin tapped the sign with her finger. "There’s a base nearby."
"Huh?" Gu Yunqing was surprised. "Was it built here?"
Without guessing what the people who built the base were thinking, Gu Yunqing directly dragged Si Xu over. "Shall we go and have a look?"
Si Xu screwed on the mineral water bottle cap. " You guys continue on the road. I'll go with Jiang Ran."
"Huh?"
"With so much supplies, the convoy must return to the base as soon as possible. There mustn’t be any delay on the road." Si Xu said, "I'll go with Jiang Ran and show her around the surroundings of Xiling Base on the way."
Gu Yunqing muttered, "If you want to spend some time alone with Ranran, just say so. I won't laugh at you."
Si Xu rephrased his words as Gu Yunqing wished. "I want to spend some time alone with Jiang Ran. You’ll be a third wheel."
Gu Yunqing, "..."
Seeing how her dumb boyfriend was rendered speechless after looking for trouble, Su Qin let out a long sigh and dragged Gu Yunqing away by his collar.
"Seventh Brother, please pay attention to safety on the road with Ranran. We’ll go back to the base first." After greeting Si Xu, Su Qin did not forget to say goodbye to Jiang Ran. "Ranran, see you at Xiling Base."
"Okay, bye."
……
After separating from the convoy, Si Xu put Jiang Ran in the driver's seat.
"Just follow the signs."
"I know, but Si Xu..." Jiang Ran gripped the steering wheel, feeling at a loss. "I can't drive."
"Yeah." Si Xu's expression remained unchanged. "I'll teach you. "
Jiang Ran instantly became interested at that. "Okay!"
On such a spacious highway, after she learned to drive, she must drive at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour!
……
After stopping and going, by the time the two of them found the small base according to the sign, it was already evening.
The sun set in the west, leaving a red glow on the horizon. It looked like a burning flame.
The red color looked ill-boding.
Like the village they passed previously, the small base in front of them was also built with a village as the foundation. There was a simple protective net built around it.
The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the base. The two of them got out of the car. The man standing guard at the entrance immediately pointed his gun at the two.
"You guys! Stand where you are! Don't move!"
Upon hearing that, Si Xu took two steps leisurely. Shielding Jiang Ran behind him, Si Xu blocked the man's gun muzzle, and stood still obediently.
"We came from Wuzhong City. We saw the sign on the roadside and came here."
Sensing the young man's small movements to protect her, Jiang Ran quietly reached out to hold his sleeve and shouted, "When the disaster first happened, we heard on the radio that Xiling Base was established in the northwest. Is it here?"
The man stared at the two for a while and said coldly, "Stand still. There will be staff at the base to give you checkups –– you’ll only be allowed to enter the base after you passed the checkups."
He avoided answering Jiang Ran's question.
Jiang Ran wasn’t in a hurry. "Okay."
After receiving the news, someone wearing a wind-type abilities badge soon came out with a doctor and took the two of them to a small isolation room for their checkups.
Si Xu's checkup ended quickly. The superhuman with wind-type abilities stared at Jiang Ran, touched his chin, and whispered to the doctor. The doctor glanced at Si Xu, walked to Jiang Ran, and ordered, "Take off your clothes."
Jiang Ran, "Huh?"
"It’s a routine checkup." The doctor said, "Take off your clothes. I want to see if there are any wounds on your body."
Would a routine checkup at the base be conducted this way? Jiang Ran twitched her lips and pointed at Si Xu, who was standing leisurely at the side. "Why doesn't he need to take off his clothes?"
"He’s a superhuman. Even if he was bitten by a zombie, he wouldn’t mutate." The doctor was getting impatient. "You’re an ordinary person. What if you accidentally bring the virus into our base?"
"Then get a female doctor!"
"Take off your clothes as you’re told! Enough with the demands!" He had never seen such a troublesome person before. People who came here before begged to be let into the base. No one would refuse to cooperate.
She was a girl, so she asked for a female doctor to give her the checkup. How was she being troublesome?
Jiang Ran had long noticed the eye contact between the doctor and the superhuman. Jiang Ran knew that these two people were feeling fearless because they had backing.
She turned to glance at Si Xu, who nodded slightly.
Understanding what Si Xu meant, Jiang Ran folded her arms in front of her, looking uncooperative. "If you don't get a female doctor, then don’t even think about giving me a checkup."
"Miss, you’ve entered our base now. If you don't cooperate with our checkup, according to the regulations of the base, we can take coercive means." The superhuman with wind-type abilities who was standing behind the doctor and watching the show looked at Jiang Ran, and said lazily, "I’d advise you to cooperate with us to avoid physical pain."
This woman came with the superhuman with space-type abilities. It seemed that the two were a couple.
Although that man was a superhuman, he had space-type abilities and had no combat ability.
This girl was good-looking. After some grooming, having her around could gain him a lot of pride.
In short, he’d teach the two of them a lesson here first so that no matter what they did to them later, they wouldn't dare to resist much.
"Coercive means?" Jiang Ran sneered. "The regulations of your base stipulate that two grown men should forcibly take off a girl's clothes? If it’s such a base, then it’s better that we not live here."
With that, Jiang Ran tidied up her coat and acted like she was leaving.
"You're leaving?" This pampered girl has a spoiled temper and seemed to have never suffered before. The superhuman smiled coldly and moved to block her way out. "What do you treat our base as? Do you think you can come and leave as you wish?"
"Hey, what’s the meaning of this?" Jiang Ran pretended to be surprised. "Xiling Base is one of the four major bases. This isn’t what was said on the radio..."
"Who told you this is Xiling Base?" The man interrupted Jiang Ran, "Xiling Base is further to the north. If you drive there, I’m afraid it’ll take another month.”
"A month?" Su Qin said that it would only take three days for a large convoy, yet this guy said that it would take two people traveling lightly a month? It was obviously a lie. "Don't lie to me. I looked at the map. Xiling Base is nearby."
"Haha, if Xiling Base was nearby, why did we build a base here instead of going to Xiling Base?"
I should be asking you that instead! How would I know? Jiang Ran rolled her eyes. "We’re going to Xiling Base. Since this isn’t Xiling Base, get out of the way. We’ll leave immediately!"
"Didn't I just say that you can't leave..." The man teased Jiang Ran like a cat teasing a mouse. He assumed a teasing tone and posture, completely ignoring Si Xu. "Young lady, haven't you heard of a sentence? This... ow!"
After their brief exchange of words, he could tell that the girl was feisty and had a bad temper. He was still thinking about what fun it would bring to groom such a woman. He never expected that the girl would attack him directly.
Seeing the gun smoking in Jiang Ran's hand, the severe pain in his leg made him cry out belatedly.
The man clutched his leg and fell to the ground with a cry.
Jiang Ran decisively moved her gun and pointed it at the doctor.
The doctor, who wanted a piece of the action after the superhuman subdued the girl with his strength, had the black muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead. He was so frightened that his legs gave way and he knelt directly on the ground.
To find out what was going on in this base, Si Xu did not take action immediately and let Jiang Ran do as she wished instead.
He just curled his lips at Jiang Ran's act of violence at this moment, very satisfied with her prompt decision.
Walking to Jiang Ran, Si Xu held her gun-holding hand, glanced at the superhuman who was covering the wound on his thigh, and said, "Jiang Ran, you did a good job. But next time, when you’re attacking a superhuman at close range like this, remember to shoot him in the head directly –– the body functions of superhumans are stronger than those of ordinary people. If you can't shoot him in the head with one shot, you’ll give him an opportunity to fight back."
Jiang Ran listened carefully. "I got it."
"You." Taking Jiang Ran's gun, Si Xu wrapped his arm around the girl and took two steps back. He pointed at the door, and said, "Go and get the person in charge of your base here."
After being allowed to leave, the doctor scrambled out of the examination room.
……
Soon, chaotic footsteps were heard outside.
Looking out of the window, the small room was surrounded by superhumans wearing various badges.
A man took two steps forward and waved to the people around him. The man next to him, who seemed like his assistant, immediately stepped forward, raised his loudspeaker and started talking.
"People inside, listen, you’ve been surrounded. If you want to survive, hand over the hostage, put your hands on your head and squat at the door! Otherwise, all the superhumans in our base will attack together..."
The man kept howling at the small room until his mouth was dry. He put down the loudspeaker, looked at the leader of their base, and said helplessly, "Brother Liu, there’s no response. What should we do?"
Brother Liu spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth and waved absently. "Blow up the place."
The assistant reminded, "But Brother Zhu is still inside."
"He has himself to blame for being so useless." Brother Liu was impatient. "Let's blow up the place together."
The assistant nodded and bowed. "Yes, yes, yes, let's blow up the place together."
He said to the superhumans behind him. "Did you hear Brother Liu's instructions? Blow up the place!"
As soon as he said that, the window of the small room exploded with a bang, and a figure flew out of the room, landing hard in front of Brother Liu.
"Oh, what the heck!" Brother Liu was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost tripped over his loose shoelaces. Fortunately, he was supported by his assistant in time.
"Darn it, I haven't even asked you to do it yet!" The man who finally regained his balance shouted angrily at his companions behind him, "Who the hell threw the explosive? Step forward! I’m going to skin you alive!"
Behind him, the other superhumans were also startled by the explosion. Before they could recover from their shock, they were yelled at again. They immediately retorted aggrievedly, "Brother Liu, it's none of our business. We haven't taken action yet!"
"You didn’t do it?" The man took a breath and yelled, "Then who did it?!"
"Bro-Brother Liu..." The smoke and dust dispersed, and they could see clearly what landed near their feet. The assistant grabbed Liu Yan and stammered, "Lo-look..."
"What do you want me to look at?!" Liu Yan shook off the assistant. "Listen, I..."
The rest of his sentence was stuck in his throat after he saw the thing curled up near his feet.
What was thrown near their feet as the window exploded was a person. He was like a doll whose joints had been twisted by its owner, and whose limbs were twisted out of shape. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth kept making painful "gurgling" sounds, but he could not form a complete sentence.
Liu Yan stared at the human figure at his feet with wide eyes, and it took him a while to recognize who the person was.
The man was scared and angry. He took a deep breath and roared, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Call a doctor now!"
It was impossible for the guy to be saved. The assistant mustered his guts and squatted down. He checked the guy's breathing, and retreated to Liu Yan’s side with shaking hands.
"Brother Liu, there’s no need to call a doctor. Brother Zhu is already dead."
"Dead?" They were buddies who had been through thick and thin. They might dislike each other usually, but when the guy was dead, Brother Liu still felt sad. "It’s those two people who did it!"
Zhu was thrown out of the small room. There were only those two newcomers in the room. It must be those two people who did it.
Furious, Liu Yan roared, "Kill them!"
With his command, the superhumans all made a move. All kinds of superhumans charged toward the examination room.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thunder and lightning were accompanied by explosions. The shabby inspection room was razed to the ground by the superhumans’ attacks, and flying dust blocked everyone's sight.
"Cough, cough!" Liu Yan covered his mouth with one hand and waved the other hand in front of his eyes. In his blurry vision, he saw two shadows walking out of the smoke.
The two people walked toward them leisurely, neither fast nor slow, as if they were walking in their own yard.
They weren’t dead yet?! Were these two people still humans? Despite such an intensive attack, they seemed to be unscathed!
Liu Yan murmured, "Ghosts... ghosts..."
The "ghostly shadows" stopped a few steps away from him. Without giving him a chance to react, one of them raised his hand.
A sharp blade flashed forward, and blood spattered.
