Chapter 1036: Jiang Anan Wakes Up
Mrs. Jiang sighed, “Jiang Anan has the diary. We have to wait for her to wake up and tell us where it is.”
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “She’ll wake up before dawn.”
Jiang Anan was tied on the bed in case she suddenly turned into a zombie and sprung up to attack people. Lin Qiao finished talking and then left the room together with Duan Juan.
The next day, Bai Xuer and her people, who spent the whole night searching for their targets but found nothing, went back to where they lived. Bai Xuer lived together with Ding Biao. In the apartment, neither of them looked happy.
“How come they suddenly disappeared? Did that old woman really take Jiang Anan away and hide her somewhere?” Bai Xuer sat on the couch, wearing a sulky, confused face. Ding Biao sat on the other side with his eyes narrowed, without responding to her.
Bai Xuer raised her eyes and gave him a glance, then asked him, “What if we can’t find them? We’ve gotten the diary, but Sea City Base will certainly want it if the old lady told the others about it, and they’ll suspect us.”
Hearing that, Ding Biao turned and gave her a glance as he replied, “So, we have to find them no matter what. We can’t let them live.”
Bai Xuer nodded. Once again, she thought of Lin Qiao and her people that she met yesterday. “I wonder if Captain has found anything about Lu Tianyu yet. I’m sure that she’s been hiding in All Beings Base. Who were the other two women? Why were they so obedient to her?”
Thinking about Duan Juan, who blocked his way earlier, Ding Biao said, “The woman in a camouflage suit is pretty capable. She’s at level-five, but she’s serving as Lu Tianyu’s bodyguard. I wonder who she works for. Perhaps, you’re right. They might be from All Beings Base.”
“Sadly, all the people that you sent after them were distracted from the target,” said Bai Xuer with an angry face and a vicious tone, “Now, we can’t find a trace of her. We want to learn a bit about All Beings Base from her, but we can’t even find her. She’s under the protection of a level-five person. I’m sure that she’s with a pretty powerful man in All Beings Base. Perhaps, we can really get some useful information about All Beings Base from her.”
Ding Biao recalled Lu Tianyu’s white and clean face, and how innocent and shy she looked a couple of years ago when she was still a college student. She was very pretty and charming.
Yesterday, she saw Lu Tianyu without makeup, looking even more attractive. Yesterday, Lu Tianyu had a cold look in her eyes and an inexplicably strong vibe. She was completely different from before.
Thinking about her perfect body that used to lie underneath himself, Ding Biao blinked his eyes.
“Come here.” Abruptly, he said to Bai Xuer.
“Eh?” Bai Xuer was a little confused. She didn’t understand what he suddenly wanted.
“Come here, I want to hold you.” Ding Biao looked at her chest and licked his lips, then said to her with his eyes narrowed slightly. Bai Xuer paused briefly, then obediently stood up and walked to up to him with confusion. Then, she sat on his lap and looked at him uncertainly.
“Why? Do you want it?”
Ding Biao put his arms around her waist when she sat down on his lap, then buried his face in her chest. However, what he was thinking about were Lu Tianyu’s face and body.
Ding Biao bit on Bai Xuer’s collar bone and made her breathe deeply. Then, she relaxed her body and let him take off her clothes.
…
Mrs. Jiang was lying asleep on the sling chair in Jiang Anan’s room. In the past few days, she had been so worried about Jiang Anan and was totally exhausted. Last night after Lin Qiao left, she noticed the color of Jiang Anan’s face gradually turn back normal and finally stopped worrying. About four in the morning, she finally fell asleep.
Jiang Anan, who was lying on the bed, slightly moved her eyelids. Her thick eyelashes shook slightly, and then her eyes opened slowly.
She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling with confusion. After about ten seconds, she rolled her eyes slightly and her mind started to become clear again.
She looked around and found her mother lying asleep on a ling chair. Then, she turned to the other side and saw a very small window that was located high on the wall. The bright light had been pouring in through that window. It seemed to be early in the morning.
Where was that place? Why was she there?
Jiang Anan had two questions in her head. She furrowed her brows and tried to move her body while thinking. Then, she found that she was tied up on the bed.
A dull pain was sensed from a few areas of her body; she was injured.
Suddenly, she recalled that she was outside the base not long ago on a mission. Something crossed her mind, and her expressions changed a few times before growing into a fierce look at last.
She closed her eyes to adjust her emotions. She covered her feelings with coldness, then moved her fingers. Slowly, her fingers turned into stone.
Clap! As she put forth her strength through her arms, the straps on her arms were broken. She knew why was she tied on the bed. She was infected by the zombie virus.
After freeing her hands, she immediately untied the straps on her neck and chest and then sat up.
She looked at her own hands. Those hands looked healthy. Her nails were still pink, not dark at all. Her skin looked healthy as well. With disbelief, she rolled up her sleeves and found the skin on her arms being healthy too. No part of her body was turning blue and covered in bulging veins.
“Anan! You’re awake!” Mrs. Jiang’s voice was suddenly heard.
Jiang Anan turned and saw her mother standing up from the chair, walking to her delightfully.
“Mom!” Jiang Anan calmly called her mother.
“Great, Anan! My Anan! You are really awake! You didn’t turn into a zombie! You didn’t turn into a zombie!” Mrs. Jiang rushed at the bed and held her daughter’s face with both hands, looking at her with a pair of red eyes as she said with happy tears.
“Mom… How did I…” Jiang Anan was confused. She wanted to know what had happened. Before she fell into consciousness, she was already feeling cold and stiff. She was clearly turning into a zombie back then. But, how come those signs of turning all disappeared?
She heard what her mother said. Her mother seemed to know why she didn’t turn into a zombie.
“Great! They didn’t lie to Mama… Anan, how do you feel? Can you feel your body?” Mrs. Jiang soon calmed back down, wiping her face as she asked Jiang Anan.
Jiang Anan nodded, then smiled and comforted her mother, “I can feel my limbs again. I’m good. I think the virus is really gone. My power is also back.”
