Since Du Beiye didn’t seek protection, then the reason she stayed close to her was to protect her. But they were strangers who had just met for a few days, and she had no reason to protect her at all.
After a while, an absurd thought flashed in Jiao Lizhi’s mind as she stared at her fiancée. "Brother Yan, maybe she treats me as her stepmother."
As soon as she said these words, Jin Xuyan flicked her forehead and replied with a hint of helplessness and annoyance in his voice, "What nonsense are you saying? Don’t tell me you really believe her words."
Rubbing her forehead, Jiao Lizhi shrugged and replied, "Who knows? Maybe she comes from the future and is indeed your daughter?"
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan shook his head and said, "If she is my daughter from the future, then her mother will only be you. Beside you, I will never like another person, let alone have a child with another woman. So, stop overthinking."
Jiao Lizhi was only teasing him. So when she heard his solemn reply, she was stunned. Lowering her head to hide her embarrassment, she let out a soft "oh" and stopped talking.
Noticing her shyness, Jin Xuyan smiled as he looked at her with a doting gaze.
The two of them ate some crackers and drank a bottle of water in silence. When the break was over, Du Beiye suddenly opened her eyes and stood up.
The tiredness in her eyes had already disappeared, replaced with sharpness. Standing in front of them, she was full of energy when she said, "Captain, the break is over."
From her behavior, Jin Xuyan was sure that she was someone who used to lead a team. The three of them left the small pharmacy and went to the hospital.
Unlike other places, the number of zombies in the hospital was three times higher. But since the zombies inside the building weren’t soaked in the rain, they were only Normal Zombies.
With their current strength, Jin Xuyan and his team managed to clear all the zombies in less than five hours. When they were done collecting the medicines, machines, and medical tools, the sun had slanted to the west.
Standing at the hospital’s rooftop, Jiao Lizhi checked her watch and said, "Brother Yan, if we use the military chopper, we can return in half an hour."
Just after she said this, Jin Xuyan’s satellite phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Zhang Yuan, he picked it up and said, "What’s up?"
"Captain, Old Qin caught the Jiangning City Base’s spies yesterday and learned that they were looking for Subject Eighty-Eight," Zhang Yuan reported.
When he heard this, Jin Xuyan narrowed his eyes. No one knew that Subject Eighty-Eight was Fu Guai besides the Facility, him, and Li Qixuan. It seemed that they couldn’t stay in the Lin’an City Base any longer.
"Inform our members to pack up. We will leave in two days," he ordered.
"Understood."
