Chapter 245 is just too intense.
Xie Anlan held the door handle and took two steps back, leaning towards the inside. "Come in."
Yan Shun looked back at the corridor behind him again with concern, and only after confirming that no one was following him did he step into the house.
"What do you want me to do?" Xie Anlan closed and locked the dormitory door, then turned around and looked at Yan Shun and asked bluntly.
"The fact that I didn't expose you is enough to prove my sincerity, right? So, I hope you can be honest with me too." Yan Shun looked around their dormitory leisurely. Although the space was not large, every corner was kept very clean and tidy.
After looking around, he glanced at Xie Anlan, "In that alley, I heard you say that you planned to escape from the base tomorrow night?"
"What exactly do you want to say?" Xie Anlan frowned and looked at him in confusion.
"is that true?"
Xie Anlan hesitated in silence for a while before nodding slightly to Yan Shun, "Yes."
"Why?" Yan Shun asked in confusion, "Isn't this place safe enough?"
After another moment of silence, Xie Anlan walked to the table by the window, pulled out a chair from under the table, turned back and motioned Yan Shun to come and sit down. Then he organized his words and told Yan Shun about everything that had happened since they arrived at the base in City B.
……
On the other side, Gray Wolf took people to walk around Area 11 because Yan Shun said he was full and wanted to walk around to digest the food. When they arrived at the training ground, Yan Shun suddenly became interested in shooting. Gray Wolf saw that he was practicing shooting very hard on the shooting range and it seemed that he would not leave for a while, so he thought about going to the bathroom.
As a result, when Gray Wolf came back from the bathroom, Yan Shun was nowhere to be found. Gray Wolf immediately went to everyone in the shooting range and asked, but no one had seen him.
While Gray Wolf was getting anxious because he couldn't find someone to watch over him, Yan Shun was chatting smoothly. Because the other two roommates in Xie Anlan's dormitory had to take turns and would not be back until after dinner at the latest, the two people who were talking in the dormitory were basically not disturbed.
Xie Anlan told Yan Shun about the inexplicable disappearance of Mo Yuankai and Hou Jing, how Shousui and He Ci were identified as defectors by Amber for stealing base secrets and were therefore hunted down, how Chen Jing was taken away for questioning, and even how Li Jingfeng and six others were taken away by Gray Wolf and whose life or death is still unknown. Xie Anlan told Yan Shun all the events that happened at the base and the doubts among them.
After hearing this, Yan Shun couldn't calm down for a long time. While digesting the news, he told Xie Anlan, "I saw the Mo Yuankai you mentioned next to Shou Sui."
"You've seen it? What do you mean?" Xie Anlan looked confused.
"Mo Yuankai is not dead," Yan Shun looked at Li Er who was sleeping soundly on the bed beside him, "but he has become a zombie who retains human consciousness, just like your friend."
Xie Anlan followed his gaze and looked at Li Er lying on the bed. After hearing Yan Shun's words, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, it was because of Shousui. It must be because of some unexpected events, so Shousui had to transform Li Er and Mo Yuankai." After being stunned for a moment, Xie Anlan murmured as he guessed.
"As for the other one, the one called Hou Jing," Yan Shun thought for a moment before continuing.
"For some unknown reason, he and Mo Yuankai's sister Mo Yuanchu became Amber's subordinates, codenamed Blood Shadow. However, when Amber's men came to Wancheng to fight Shousui and his men, Blood Shadow betrayed Amber and helped Mo Yuankai and his men to knock out the amnesiac Mo Yuanchu. Later, in order to let Mo Yuanchu escape from Amber's control and to prevent Mo Yuanchu from doing anything to be hostile to Shousui and his men again after waking up, Blood Shadow took Mo Yuanchu away."
After hearing this, Xie Anlan's tense expression relaxed a little, "I'm glad they're fine. I have to go tell Shu Yue and the others the good news."
It was already evening when Yan Shun came out from Xie Anlan.
After he came out, he found Gray Wolf and complained to him that he had been in the bathroom for too long. He wanted to go back and then thought about looking for Gray Wolf to lead him back to Luo Tingyu's residence, but he got lost because he was not familiar with the place. Yan Shun finally fooled Gray Wolf after explaining it like this.
It was already dark when Yan Shun returned to Luo Tingyu's residence. He was bored and took a shower early. He hadn't seen Luo Tingyu since the afternoon. Seeing that he was the only one in the huge house, Yan Shun sat on the sofa for a while and then stood up and walked towards Luo Tingyu's study area.
There were many books on the bookshelf that lined the entire wall behind the screen. Yan Shun walked around and knew from the titles that the books were difficult to read. He had no intention of picking out any of them to read, but was attracted by a photo standing on the desk next to him.
Yan Shun picked up the photo frame and looked at the photo carefully. The background of the photo was a fountain in a villa. Standing in front of the fountain was a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, holding the hand of a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old. The boy had an indifferent expression and did not look at the camera, while the girl with two pigtails looked at the camera with her eyebrows curved into a crescent shape.
Both of them were very young, and Yan Shun took several glances before he recognized that the boy in the photo was a smaller version of Luo Tingyu.
Yan Shun looked at the photo, and a long-forgotten memory suddenly popped up in his mind. Although the picture was blurry, he still remembered a very good playmate in his childhood. The girl next to Luo Tingyu in this photo must be his sister Luo Xin, right?
I vaguely remember that Luo Xin was a friend Yan Shun knew in elementary school. Before he was promoted to junior high school, Luo Xin invited him to her house after learning that he was moving.
Yan Shun still remembered that because Luo Xin's house was too big, he accidentally broke into her brother's laboratory when he was looking for the bathroom. There was a freshly dissected rabbit on the table in the laboratory. He was so scared by the bloody scene that his legs went weak. After he finally calmed down, the only thing left in his mind was to run.
But when he turned around and ran to the door of the laboratory, he bumped into the boy coming towards him.
At that time, it was the boy in the photo who grabbed his collar and asked him who he was.
Yes, Yan Shun remembered that he and Luo Tingyu had met once before.
No wonder when he met Luo Tingyu in Shucheng before, he always felt that the other's name sounded familiar. But Yan Shun was not sure whether the Luo Tingyu he met in Shucheng was the boy who had touched his heart when he was a child and who he remembered until the end of the world but whose memory became more and more vague.
When Yan Shun moved with his parents when he was a child, he actually kept in touch with Luo Xin through letters. In which year did they lose contact? He recalled, oh yes, it was after seeing the news that the second son of the Luo family committed suicide due to severe depression, every email Yan Shun sent out never received a response.
While Yan Shun was staring at the photo in a daze, he heard the sound of a door opening and closing at the entrance of the living room.
Yan Shun was startled and hurried out to the living room to check.
"You..." Seeing that it was Luo Tingyu who came back, Yan Shun was about to confirm something with him, but when he saw Xi Yan following Luo Tingyu into the room, the words that Yan Shun had just opened his mouth suddenly stopped in his throat as if he was choked, and then he swallowed the rest of the words back.
Luo Tingyu glanced at him and when he saw the photo frame in Yan Shun's hand, the man frowned, took a step forward and snatched the photo frame with a slightly panicked look, "Who allowed you to touch my things?" Luo Tingyu scolded Yan Shun in a harsh tone.
"I, I just thought the photo looked familiar so I took a look." Yan Shun tried to explain. Seeing the man's face slightly upset, he apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched it."
Luo Tingyu checked the photo and after seeing that it was not damaged, he walked to the desk and put the photo frame back in place.
Turning around and seeing Yan Shun apologizing with a grievance, Luo Tingyu couldn't help but slow down his tone and explain, "That was a photo of Luo Xin smiling the happiest when he was alive. It was also the last thought he left me. I was just too nervous and didn't mean to yell at you."
"Yeah." Yan Shun responded lightly, turned around and went back to the room without saying anything else.
After returning to his room, Yan Shun went straight to bed to rest, but he tossed and turned for a long time and still didn't feel sleepy at all.
He couldn't calm down, and his attention was always involuntarily drawn to the two people who were still talking in the living room.
He wanted to hear clearly what Luo Tingyu and Xi Yan were talking about, and he wanted to know what unspeakable secrets this base held.
But when the door is closed, the sound insulation effect is very good.
Yan Shun turned over again, but he still couldn't fall asleep until Luo Tingyu finished the conversation and went back to the room to take a shower.
As soon as Luo Tingyu lay down on the bed, she reached out from behind Yan Shun and took him into her arms. Feeling the stiffness of his back against her, Luo Tingyu knew that he was not asleep yet, and couldn't help but ask in the dark, "Are you angry?"
"No." Yan Shun denied it lightly. He said he was not angry. He was definitely a little angry, but not because Luo Tingyu yelled at him.
It was because he felt that Luo Tingyu liked Xi Yan; because he felt that Luo Tingyu had too many secrets, all these made Yan Shun feel confused.
In his heart, he really wanted to be with Luo Tingyu. Even after knowing that Luo Tingyu and Shousui were on different sides, he still wanted to be with Luo Tingyu.
But Yan Shun was not sure if he could accept it. What if the secret hidden in the base was really as Xie Anlan and the others guessed; the R virus was actually created by the people in this base? Even this world-destroying disaster was caused by these people, and Luo Tingyu was the mastermind behind them. Those relatives and friends who had turned into zombies, as well as countless innocent people, died because of their experiments.
Yan Shun asked himself, did he really want to be with such a person?
