Chapter 21: Confession.
However, before he could finish Su Jiyai interrupted him,
"..have good intentions? Sure. I would have considered that she had good intentions, if she didn't use the line 'since we are friends we have to stay together.'
It's more like 'Since I can't awaken a superpower you have to suffer with me'. What friendship she is even talking about?
The one we had? For your information for the past 2 months, we all have been ignoring each other. You all were ignoring Weilin too."
Silence.
Xi Ziang, Li Yuan, and Wang Bao, three of them turned silent. Jing Shan too didn't have words to refute.
For the first time, Jing Shan felt, that Li Yuan was wrong.
Su Jiyai turned towards Han Weilin and said,
"Superhuman Weilin, don't forget your bestie!"
Han Weilin smiled.
In fact, her thoughts matched with Su Jiyai's, but as the person who was in an advantageous situation, she couldn't defend herself.
Thank god Su Jiyai was on her side.
Han Weilin shifted from the ordinary human's dorm to the superpower users' dorm.
Li Yuan watched from the dorm's window as Han Weilin left and her eyes turned cold. She suddenly walked up to her bunker bed, took out a phone and called someone,
"I am already to do that task you make the arrangement."
The next day Han Weilin was transferred from Su Jiyai's army division and the friends were quite sad.
They promised to meet each other at night every day.
Su Jiyai walked up to Qin Feng's office and clenched the letter in her hand.
After encouraging herself time and time again, she entered the office and saw Qin Feng.
Su Jiyai walked in with a nervous expression and said,
"Um...Feng?"
Qin Feng lifted his head and his handsome face under the sunlight was looking even more beautiful.
Su Jiyai's breath hitched and she stuttered as she said.
"C-Can y-you re-ad this."
A glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes and he took the letter.
"What is it?" He asked softly.
Su Jiyai was so nervous that she didn't even notice, that the great Captain Qin had lowered his voice!
"You...first read it." Su Jiyai said clenching her fist.
Qin Feng slowly opened the letter and started reading the letter, his face had no expression at all.
After finishing the letter, Qin Feng was silent before shifting his gaze to Su Jiyai.
"I can't give you an answer for now."
Su Jiyai's heart skipped a beat.
What was that answer?
Does he like her or not?
In a daze, Su Jiyai saw Qin Feng standing up and walking up to her. He placed a hand on her cheeks and said,
"Wait for me."
And then he left.
Su Jiyai's heart thumped loudly.
Was that a 'yes'?
If he wanted to reject her, he could have done it right away! So why didn't he do it?
Not to mention he even placed a hand on her cheeks!
Su Jiyai placed her hand on her cheeks and blushed.
That could only mean...
Su Jiyai patted her loudly beating heart.
She scolded herself for overthinking.
As she exited the office, she saw Han Weilin, who instantly slightly lifted her head and moved her eyebrows, as if asking what was the outcome.
Su Jiyai ran in Han Wielin's direction and hugged her.
"Weilin, he said he can't answer for now! He said to wait for him!"
Han Weilin was stunned before smiling happily and hugging her back,
"Bestie, our luck has improved!"
"Yes!" Su Jiyai said with an excited expression.
"Let's do one thing. The day after tomorrow is an army holiday, so we can go somewhere to celebrate."
"Okay! My treat!" Su Jiyai proposed and Han Weilin could only agree.
However, due to an emergency, Han Welin had to leave the army just 2 days later.
Su Jiyai was sad.
After all, with Qin Feng and Han Weilin's departure, she hardly had any friends.
The next day.
Su Jiyai got to know that due to the lack of manpower, she was shifted to some other division temporarily.
Su Jiyai knew that it was one of the common problems in the army and hence packed her supplies.
She also got to know that the trip would be long unlike the previous one-day return trips, so decided to pack most of her belongings.
Li Yuan and Wang Bao hold grudge against her.
What if they destroyed her belongings or sold them?
Not to mention, Su Jiyai always takes the two boxes gifted by her real parents with her.
If one day she dies, she will die with those two boxes in her hand.
God knows if she will be able to find it someday because of those boxes.
Su Jiyai soon arrived at the specific army division.
The leader glanced at Su Jiyai with a uninterested expression and Su Jiyai couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Was something bad going to happen?
"You will be stationed at the gate number 19." The leader said.
Su Jiyai froze.
Gate number 19 is said to have the least zombies.
Su Jiyai shook her head, she was truly not in her right mind.
As she made her way to the gate number 19, a question appeared in her mind.
Didn't say that the manpower was less? So why are they sending her to a gate where almost no zombies are present?
Su Jiyai had reached gate 19 by now. She decided to ask about it later.
Other than Su Jiyai, there were 3 more people stationed at gate 19.
One of them was the leader, who just happened to be Li Yuan.
Li Yuan ignored Su Jiyai and instructed the other two on what to do.
Then she turned toward Su Jiyai and said,
"Jiyai you have come on right time. For the past few hours, strange noise has been detected, you have to go and survey the area ahead."
Su Jiyai paused and said in a neutral tone,
"I can't, it can be dangerous."
"I am not asking you to go too far, just 40 steps would be enough." Li Yuan said in a soft voice.
One of the two men whom Li Yuan had instructed before muttered in a voice that Su Jiyai could hear,
"What a coward! Can she still be counted as a soldier?"
"I know right?"
Hearing their words Li Yuan's face suddenly had a smile.
She turned towards Su Jiyai and asked in a low voice,
"Will you or will you not?"
Su Jiyai found Li Yuan's expression very strange at that moment. Feeling a bit dizzy, Su Jiyai nodded,
"Okay."
"Oh and take your bag with you." Li Yuan said.
Su Jiyai didn't find it strange and nodded.
Suddenly one of the men patted Su Jiyai's shoulder and said,
"It is just a small survey no need to be so tensed."
Su Jiyai dodged him and nodded with a blank expression.
Soon Su Jiyai completed her 40 steps. She wasn't far from them but she wasn't close to them too.
As she started to walk one of the two men standing beside Li Yuan shouted,
"Now look..."
However, before he could finish his words, a roar sounded.
Su Jiyai blinked and realized that she had unintentionally walked up so far. She was about to run back when suddenly a few zombies obstructed her path from the front.
How strange!
Su Jiyai thought. Now even if she wanted to return, she can't.
After all, there were not just 1 or 2 zombies there were at least 20 or so zombies.
When did they come near her?
Why didn't she hear their movements before?
"Hey come back!" One of the men shouted but Su Jiyai turned around and started to run in the other direction.
Li Yuan looked at her left and nodded.
Suddenly Su Jiyai felt that the zombies behind her were much more than before. Worried that it might cause trouble Su Jiyai ran as fast as she could.
Su Jiyai didn't even realize that more and more zombies were coming in her direction. As if she were some magnet.
"Hahaha! What a good plan!" One of the men Xiao Cui laughed.
"Xiao Cui the illusion created by you looked so real!" The other man named Gao Michen said.
"Brother the zombies attracted by towards her after that are much more amazing." Xiao Cui praised.
"Okay let's not waste time we need to create evidence that Su Jiyai ran away from the army on her own and has died."
The plan was simple. Li Yuan would convince Su Jiyai to leave, Xiao Cui would create an illusion and the energy left by Gao Michen would then truly start to attract Zombies.
Gao Michen was the guy who had patted Su Jiyai on the back. His powers were rather unique.
As long as he wants he can leave a trace of energy on the other person because of which zombies will start to flock to that person.
"She is not dead yet though." Xiao Cui said in a cautious tone.
