BC Chapter 82

“What?” Lu Ziming, who had said she wouldn’t go, didn’t give Commander Yao any face at all and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, Yao Jinglin grabbed her wrist forcefully. Lu Ziming thought that the other party’s verbal communication wasn’t working, so she was planning to resort to force? But thinking about her current physical fitness, she really wasn’t afraid of that. So, she confidently turned her head, frowned, and asked in an unkind tone.

“I…I beg you…help me. I need to save people.” Yao Jinglin, who had never lowered her head to anyone since she was little, was using a pleading tone for the first time. Her originally fair cheeks couldn’t help but flush with an awkward red. She had always been serious and responsible in her work, and this mission was a major event concerning the survival of the people, so she naturally wanted to try her best to save as many lives as possible. But she never expected the situation to be so unfavorable. Not to mention saving the surviving people, she even sacrificed the lives of her own team members. This kind of mistake was simply a great shame in her career, and she couldn’t accept the current situation at all, so she put all her mind on trying to rescue people. In fact, at this moment, she had already made up her mind that after the rescue work in these cities was over, if she was still alive, she would take the initiative to resign to take responsibility for her previous mistakes.

Therefore, at this time, she was not afraid that Lu Ziming would ridicule or mock her, and completely hid her originally proud self-esteem, just to seek Lu Ziming’s help.

“…” Lu Ziming thought that Yao Jinglin’s attitude would be tough to the end, after all, the two had completely different views on the same thing, but she didn’t expect to see Yao Jinglin bowing her head so humbly so quickly.

Even more unexpectedly, the reason she was showing weakness to herself was because she wanted to save people. She used to think that some positions were just overly glorified by the world, but she didn’t expect that there really were people in real life who took sacrifice and dedication as their vocation, and she couldn’t help but change her attitude towards Yao Jinglin a lot.

She herself was not such a heartless person. Although she often said “mind your own business” all the time, she would still step forward against her will when she really encountered someone who needed help. So, facing Yao Jinglin’s softening, she was speechless for a moment, and turned her head helplessly, not wanting to look at the pitiful expression on the other’s face, thinking that if the other party’s attitude had remained consistent, she would have left without hesitation, but now…

Sigh… maybe she owed her in her previous life! Lu Ziming sighed, watching the other party change from a proud little peacock to a pitiful little kitten, and she couldn’t just walk away like this. Yao Jinglin and her team members were all separated, and at this time, the only weapons she had were a gun and a dagger. She was also completely unfamiliar with the situation in Qingshui City. If she left like this, the next time they met, she might see the other’s corpse.

Thinking about it, her values were actually not wrong. If their growth and work environments were different, maybe they could have become friends. After all, in today’s society, people like Yao Jinglin, who are so pure-minded and dedicated to their work, are as rare as phoenix feathers.

“Let go of me.” Secretly gritting her teeth, Lu Ziming still softened her heart and didn’t plan to argue with Yao Jinglin. She told her to let go of her so she could lead her to where Zhang Yan and the others were.

“I won’t let go!” Unexpectedly, Yao Jinglin completely misunderstood Lu Ziming’s meaning, thinking that she was still angry with herself and unwilling to cooperate with her to save people. She couldn’t help but complain with some grievance, “Why are you so heartless… If it’s because my attitude was bad just now, can’t I apologize? Anyway, I won’t let go unless you agree to take me to find the survivors!”

“If you don’t let go, how can I lead you there? Then let’s just stay here, anyway, you don’t want to save people!” Lu Ziming was about to be driven crazy by the woman in front of her, so she simply gave up resisting and sat down on the ground.

“I don’t care! Who told you not to… uh, you agreed?” Yao Jinglin was still immersed in the emotion of being rejected by Lu Ziming just now, but she didn’t expect that Lu Ziming would actually change her mind after a while, and her head couldn’t turn around for a moment.

“I don’t agree, is that okay? Can you let me go?” Lu Ziming looked helplessly at her wrist being held tightly by the other party, and raised her head to ask weakly.

“That’s definitely not okay! I won’t let you go!” Yao Jinglin said decisively.

“I agreed! I agreed! Can you let go now?” Lu Ziming felt like she was going to be driven crazy by this woman.

“Oh…” Yao Jinglin finally obediently let go of her hand, and Lu Ziming also stood up from the ground, slowly dusting off the ash on her butt, but suddenly had the interest to tease Yao Jinglin a little, she ran away, and in the blink of an eye, she was ten meters away from Yao Jinglin.

“See, if I want to run, you can’t stop me…” Lu Ziming turned her head and hooked the corner of her mouth smugly, wanting to tease Yao Jinglin a few words. But she saw the other party slowly raising the rifle in her hand…

“You really… can stop me.” Lu Ziming’s smile froze directly on her face, she sighed, and walked back dejectedly.
