The visitor was Wang Yan. She climbed up the stairs and caught Wu Qi's eyes when she raised her head.
"Wu Qi." Wang Yan called Wu Qi's name, then climbed to the top and looked around. Through the slight movements of Wang Yan's hands and feet, Wu Qi felt that she seemed a little nervous.
"What's the matter with you coming here?" Wu Qi asked.
Wang Yan licked her lips, lightly stamped her foot, her gaze drifted from left to right until she looked directly at Wu Qi's obsidian eyes, and she said: "No... It's nothing, actually, I'm here to apologize to you. "
Wu Qi looked at Wang Yan quietly, and Wang Yan said: "A few months ago, a few days before you left the G011 base, after you told me that my brother would not come back, I... got angry with you. I didn’t thank you for taking care of me after that, so I showed you my face. I’m sorry. I apologize for my willfulness. I was really stupid at that time. Also, thank you for saving my life earlier, I owe you Two lives.”
After Wang Yan finished speaking, she fell in love with Wu Qi and didn't know how Wu Qi would react. As a result, Wu Qi didn't react at all, his expression was like a calm lake.
A second later, Wu Qi finally answered her: "You don't owe me, you just need to remember this."
"Does this mean you forgive me?" Wang Yan blinked.
Wu Qi nodded: "That's right."
Wang Yan said "Oh" and whispered, "So you really hold a grudge."
Wu Qi heard it clearly, but he didn't explain it. There was no point in explaining it clearly.
Wang Yan is Wang Sheng's sister, so he will definitely take care of her.
"By the way, why don't you go in?" Wang Yan pointed to 502 with the door wide open.
"I..." As soon as Wu Qi opened his mouth, Wang Yan interrupted what Wu Qi was about to say with her actions. She helped Wu Qi pick up his luggage and walked in directly.
After the two of them entered the room, they happened to see Guo Baibo packing his bags in the living room. The little red fox jumped on the sofa and sat down with a flick of its furry tail.
Wang Yan and Guo Baibai looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment in the air. The two briefly greeted each other. Wang Yan turned her head, pinched Wu Qi gently with a meaningful look, and then handed the luggage into Wu Qi's palm.
"Then I won't bother you. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I'll live on the fourth floor next door to your south."
"I have something to do now. I want to hunt a few proliferating beasts. Anyway, I have nothing to do." Wu Qi said.
Wang Yan raised her eyebrows: "Now?"
"Well, take Gao Yuan with you."
"Okay, let's go." For some reason, Wang Yan agreed very readily, with a faint smile on her lips.
... ...
As the sun sets in the west, the orange-gold sunset mountains exude an intoxicating halo. The outer ring of the halo is a burgundy glow, and then the outer ring gradually becomes a purple sky until the end.
There is a drunken glow in the sky, and a modified off-road vehicle and a power armor are driving in the dusty wilderness. The golden light of the setting sun spreads over the wilderness, creating long silhouettes of modified off-road vehicles and power armor.
Gao Yuan held a sniper rifle on the roof of the modified off-road vehicle and observed the surrounding distance. He said: "There is one at 1200 meters at 10 o'clock."
Wu Qi said nothing, turned the steering wheel and ran straight towards the 10 o'clock direction.
Five minutes later, a body of a proliferator with white smoke coming out of its body and a large area of its body burned was spread out in the center of a dark mass of burn marks. Wu Qi came forward with a sample box and quickly completed the collection work.
As of this afternoon, Wu Qi and others have collected 6 samples. Don't get money too quickly, and the price they paid was only Gao Yuan's twenty dozen armor-piercing incendiary bombs.
"Sniper bullets can solve the problem. I really don't understand why they use small missiles to solve it." When parking the car, Gao Yuan stroked the lids of the six sample boxes and said with emotion.
Wang Yan raised the head hatch of the power armor and spoke: "Small missiles are the standard weapon of power armor. They can cover a large area with firepower to attack the proliferation shells of proliferating beasts. They are ideal for dealing with large proliferating beasts of 7 meters and above. A must-have for the beast. If there were not a large number of experiments with small missiles hitting the front line, how would subsequent people calculate and deduce the range of the heart of the proliferating beast's body."
Gao Yuan shrugged: "What you said makes sense."
Wang Yan clicked her tongue and said, "Gao Yuan, I haven't seen you for a few months. You are much better than before. I haven't spoken to you even a few words before."
Gao Yuan's fingers hit the roof cover of the off-road vehicle, and he replied: "You are too, you are not as angry as before."
Wu Qi found it a bit funny when he heard that Gao Yuan and Wang Yan, two people who had never expected to quarrel, suddenly began to bicker with each other.
Gao Yuan once had a psychological shadow called "Gao Lan" weighing on his heart every time he stayed in the Black Gun Mercenary Group, so he suppressed his personality and became taciturn. Ever since the shadow Gao Lan cast on him was lifted, Gao Yuan had subtly become cheerful, but the water-like stability and ice-like calmness he had developed in those depressing days remained.
Wang Yan's irritability stems from being locked up in a cage called "home" by Wang Sheng like a pet bird. Deep in her heart, the sharp edge of nature that is exactly the same as Wang Sheng's has not been released, which is why she is so irritable. Contrary to Gao Yuan's luck, Wang Yan suffered misfortune. When the cage shattered, her unprotected naked body was exposed to the dangerous outside world. Now that she has matured, she has also undergone transformation.
Wilderness always transforms people, both physically and spiritually.
The same goes for Wu Qi. In recent days, he sometimes stares at the distance of the wilderness and the end of the horizon. The cells in his body will vaguely produce a yearning impulse, as if they want to go to the end of the wilderness to pursue some answer. When the feeling first appeared, Wu Qi was a little surprised. Later, Wu Qi let it go because the impulse was too weak to hinder him.
Wu Qi once again stared into the distance of the wilderness, and the same impulse came to him again.
Since the age of 7, his body has been undergoing continuous training and fighting, and has transformed several times, gaining many physical abilities, but Wu Qi's recent changes were unexpected. He himself found it strange.
Wu Qi had an intuition that some kind of new change was going on inside his body, but he didn't know when this change would begin or what the new destination it would eventually reach would be.
"Hey, Wang Yan, why are we driving westward all the way?" Wu Qi suddenly interrupted the bickering between Wang Yan and Gao Yuan and asked.
"Don't you want me to take you to a place where there are many proliferating beasts? Keep going west, and we will encounter more and more proliferating beasts." Wang Yan seemed to be saying something that was engraved into common sense.
"Keep going west..." Wu Qi muttered silently.
"Yes, keep going west, but not too far west. Our fuel capacity cannot support it, and more than 100 kilometers further west is the boundary between the 'occupied area' and the 'human territory'."
