BC Chapter 95
by Volare“Why are you… staring at me like that?” He Linglong, seeing that there were no immediate threats around, put away her weapon, stood up, glanced at Jiang Juncheng who was standing beside her looking unwilling, awkwardly turned her face away, and asked.
“You know more than you’re letting on, right?” Seeing He Linglong’s appearance, Jiang Juncheng was even more certain of her guess—even if the truth was as He Linglong said, that she had no official affiliation with any government organizations, she must know some inside information. After all, her skills and knowledge of weapons were not something an ordinary person would possess.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Although Jiang and Zhou had indeed saved He Linglong by chance, she was not familiar with Jiang Juncheng and the others. She was naturally cautious, and of course, she wouldn’t reveal everything about herself without reservation after just meeting them. So, facing Jiang Juncheng’s pressing attitude, she chose to avoid the question, turned sideways, and walked past Jiang Juncheng towards the row of white garage doors not far away.
“Tsk, if she doesn’t want to talk, then forget it… Hey, Sister Jiang, where are you going…” Seeing the atmosphere between Jiang and He becoming heavy, Zhou Yuanyuan intended to smooth things over and drop the matter. She didn’t expect Jiang Juncheng, who had always been polite and courteous to her and Lu Ziming, to chase after He Linglong without a word.
For He Linglong, who had been a special forces soldier, the locks on manual rolling garage doors were practically non-existent. Although she had just escaped the zombies, it was still dangerous to stay in the open parking lot. Therefore, He Linglong planned to pry open a garage door and use the garage as a temporary shelter from the zombies.
He Linglong squatted on the ground, took out her versatile lock-picking tool—a stainless steel hairpin—and before she could adjust the angle of the hairpin, Jiang Juncheng, who had followed her, grabbed her and pulled her up. She grabbed her arm and pushed her against the rolling door…
He Linglong’s muscle memory had never suffered such a setback in physical action. Back when she was training with Yao Jinglin, she and Yao Jinglin had always been the best among the recruits, never losing in any competition. So, being pushed by Jiang Juncheng, she naturally reacted quickly, grabbing her wrist. If He Linglong put a little more force on it, she could dislocate or fracture her wrist. But she immediately stopped because she remembered that she had just been saved by the other party, and if she acted as she usually did, she would become an ungrateful person.
But she didn’t want to let it go, as that wasn’t her style. So, she thought of verbally warning her—even if she had just been saved by the other party, it didn’t mean she could treat her so rudely!
Just as she was about to speak, she felt a chill on her face…
“I don’t think you’re being fair at all. We just saved you, and even if you don’t want to tell us the information you know, it’s fine. But in this situation, you’re still being secretive. Are you afraid of being seen? What? Are you a wanted criminal…” Jiang Juncheng didn’t care what He Linglong was thinking. She felt that she had kindly saved the other party, but the other party didn’t even say thank you, which made her a little angry. Moreover, with the zombie outbreak as it is, shouldn’t the survivors be more honest with each other, sticking together and helping each other?
But look at He Linglong, asking her anything is like pulling teeth, ungrateful, and with an arrogant attitude of a cold ice queen. Who wouldn’t be angry?
If she had known that the person she was saving was like this, she, Jiang Juncheng, would have preferred to stay home and sleep!
However, these were all Jiang Juncheng’s thoughts before removing He Linglong’s face mask.
Just now, the black mask was pulled off, and He Linglong, as the victim of the forced exposure, was stunned. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Juncheng, who was half a head taller than her, with a shocked and incredulous expression.
“You…” Jiang Juncheng had always known that her appearance was relatively conspicuous in the crowd. This was not bragging, and it had nothing to do with her family background. Because her father was a handsome man when he was young, and he married a wife who was beautiful in a cold way, the Jiang Juncheng born was a cute and pretty doll with big eyes since she was a child. When she had long hair, she was a cute girl, and when she had short hair, she looked like a handsome boy. Because of this, she was a child model for a while when she was young.
But at this moment, facing He Linglong who revealed her appearance in front of her, she was speechless.
Although when the mask was not removed, He Linglong’s exposed eyes just looked like somewhat deep long-lashed big eyes without anything special, but at this time, when appreciating them with the remaining facial features, it can be found that her appearance is significantly different from ordinary Han people who settle in the north, with some exotic style, but overall, it is obviously mostly Han Chinese blood. In short, the feeling is very wonderful, it is the kind of beauty that will be firmly remembered by people at a glance.
“So beautiful… why hide it…” The frustration that had been accumulated in Jiang Juncheng’s chest seemed to completely dissipate at this moment. She even uncontrollably said something inexplicable and embarrassing that she would want to crawl into the ground afterward.
