BC Chapter 100

“Captain, why are you back? Is Lu Ziming alright?” Lin Xiang asked curiously as she saw Yao Jinglin sit down beside her. But when she looked at Yao Jinglin’s face, she subtly noticed that her mood seemed a bit off.

“What’s wrong? Did the conversation just now not go well?” Lin Xiang was the type of person who was particularly protective of her own. At this moment, she sensitively noticed Yao Jinglin’s oddness and immediately thought that the captain had suffered a loss with Lu Ziming, so she couldn’t help but get a little excited.

Although she was able to escape safely thanks to Lu Ziming before, she still felt more indebted to her captain, Yao Jinglin. After all, if it weren’t for Yao Jinglin’s spirit of never abandoning or giving up on her team members, it was uncertain whether she could have been rescued. Therefore, no matter what caused Lu Ziming and Yao Jinglin to have a conflict at this time, she would firmly stand on Yao Jinglin’s side and support her.

As for Lu Ziming’s kindness, she certainly wouldn’t pretend it didn’t happen, but that was a separate cause and effect. She would find a way to repay this favor later.

“…She should be alright.” Yao Jinglin didn’t directly answer her second question, but vaguely replied, then shook her head. She lowered her head and pondered for a while, not knowing what she was thinking. After raising her head again, her gaze uncontrollably looked towards Lu Ziming, and she happened to see Xu Rubing pulling her backpack and getting close to Lu Ziming.

?? What’s going on? Yao Jinglin felt a tightness in her heart when she saw the two people who had suddenly gotten together and started whispering.

In her memory, the total number of words they had said together from the time they met until now didn’t seem to add up to ten. When did they become so close? How did she not know?

However, now that Yao Jinglin thought about it carefully, if she were to talk about Xu Rubing’s strangeness, it was far more than just this.

From the beginning of their contact, her attitude towards Lu Ziming was completely different from her attitude towards others. She had an unusual enthusiasm. Even when Lu Ziming had just fainted, Yao Jinglin’s idea of ​​staying by her side to take care of her was preempted by her. But at the time, Yao Jinglin only thought she was gentle and considerate and wanted to help her, so she didn’t think too much about it.

It wasn’t until this moment, when she saw the overly intimate behavior of the two people getting together, that she belatedly realized that Xu Rubing seemed really strange.

Wait! Why is she touching Lu Ziming’s face? …And smiling again? What are they talking about? There were several people between them, and although Yao Jinglin could see the interactions and actions between the two, she couldn’t hear what they were saying.

Lin Xiang, who had been watching her expression as she stared at them, naturally followed her gaze and looked over there. After watching for a while, she also noticed that the situation in front of her was not right.

“Why are they suddenly getting so cozy? Didn’t they just meet?” Lin Xiang was straightforward, and as soon as she discovered something was wrong, she spoke it out. Then she realized that Yao Jinglin’s face had already changed color as she quickly looked away.

Yao Jinglin’s mind was pricked by Lin Xiang’s words, and she suddenly realized that she had poured so much unnecessary concern into Lu Ziming, whom she had only met recently. She immediately turned her head and looked away, secretly wondering why she had repeatedly made so many actions that were inconsistent with her character in such a short period of time. She had even planned to rely on Lu Ziming to help her complete the next rescue mission. If Lu Ziming hadn’t ignored her, she might have already been pulling Lu Ziming to make plans for what to do next.

“Captain? Are you alright? Why did your face suddenly turn so pale?” Although Lin Xiang seemed a bit careless, she still had a meticulous side. At this moment, she noticed Yao Jinglin’s strangeness and couldn’t help but worry, and asked Yao Jinglin with a worried expression.

“I’m fine. It’s you, don’t talk about other people’s business anymore. We don’t have time to meddle in other people’s affairs, we still have to discuss the next course of action.” Yao Jinglin, who always kept her emotions hidden from her team members, came back to her senses and realized that she was actually considering things that were not related to the rescue work. This was not like her.

Since Lu Ziming had already politely refused her with her actions, she should gracefully give up.

Many things cannot be forced. Since the other person doesn’t have that intention, why would she stubbornly do meaningless things again? Cheer up! Yao Jinglin! The rescue team’s mission has not been completed, how can you let the sacrificed team members waste their lives in vain?!

Although Yao Jinglin felt uncomfortable, as if a knot was tied in her heart, she didn’t have much time to dwell on it. She had to use work to divert her attention, in the hope of calming down and thinking about the next task.

“Roger that, Captain! Does that mean you already have a preliminary plan for what to do next?” Lin Xiang was moved by Yao Jinglin’s seriousness, and subconsciously raised her hand to give a military salute. Then she immediately put away her gossiping heart and looked at Yao Jinglin curiously.

“Although I have seen the map of Qingshui City, I am not very clear about the distribution of zombies in the surrounding area. If we can find a survivor living nearby to lead us, our actions to find other survivors will definitely be much easier.” Yao Jinglin pinched her brows, which were unconsciously furrowed, as she thought about what to do next and whispered to Lin Xiang.

In fact, when it comes down to it, the most suitable guide is naturally Lu Ziming, who has been active in this area several times. Not only can she lead the way, but she also has basic self-defense capabilities. But the current situation is that Lu Ziming is sulking for some reason and obviously doesn’t plan to help Yao Jinglin. Then she needs to find someone else who is willing to help her. But this matter sounds simple. Generally, people are definitely unwilling to do this kind of thing that requires taking the lead. People nowadays are very selfish. It is too difficult to find someone who is righteous.

“I’ll lead the way.” Just as the two were struggling with this point, a soft but firm voice suddenly rang out in front of Yao Jinglin.

Yao Jinglin raised her head in surprise and couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw who it was.

Zhang Yan??

Wasn’t she just misunderstood by Lu Ziming? Did she adjust her mood so quickly?
