Chapter 3 Stepping Stones in the End Times

Chapter 3 Stepping Stones in the End Times

In a blink of an eye, several hours passed and Chen Jingyang slowly opened his eyes. It was the first time he had a good sleep since the end of the world.

At this time, Jiang Yuchuan also woke up. When they opened their eyes, they met Yunyan's clear eyes.

"Are you awake? Come and eat something!" Yunyan handed them two buckets of instant noodles with a smile.

"You actually have hot water and instant noodles!" Chen Jingyang was a little unbelievable.

After all, let alone hot water, even a piece of biscuit is very precious now, and most of the supplies are concentrated in the hands of powerful people.

"Don't worry about that, just eat it while it's hot!"

Hearing this, the two of them took the instant noodles without hesitation and started eating them in big mouthfuls. They had never thought that instant noodles were so delicious.

Miss Lu is so kind!

Yunyan looked at them wolfing down their food and thought to herself: Eat, eat, if you eat my food, you have to do something for me.

After a while, the two of them were full. Chen Jingyang took the initiative to suggest, "Let me drive. I'm very skilled."

Yunyan didn't expect him to be so proactive. It seems that this kid is quite smart!

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yunyan pretended to be polite, but only for this moment.

Then she sat in the passenger seat. Why didn't she sit in the back seat? She was lazy and didn't want to take care of the patient.

Of course, Jiang Yuchuan had no intention of bothering Yunyan. After all, they had already caused Yunyan a lot of trouble, so how could he ask others to take care of him?

"Why did you save those people? They didn't care about you after they were rescued. Isn't this not worth the loss?" Yunyan and Jiang Yuchuan talked about this question that puzzled her.

Could it be that they are the legendary Virgin Mary? No, it should be the Holy Father.

If this is really the case, then after using them, Yunyan will no longer have any contact with them.

"Ms. Lu, we are soldiers. The moment we choose this profession, we are destined to carry out the mission of saving lives and healing the wounded." Jiang Yuchuan's tone was flat, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Yunyan could not accept such an argument for the time being, and refuted him: "But, not all the people you saved are good people. In such a situation, shouldn't you protect yourself? Maybe one day, these people you saved will stab you in the back!"

"If there really comes such a day, we will accept such a result. Miss Lu, you may not know much about my profession, but thank you for saving my life." Jiang Yuchuan looked at Yunyan with a smile.

Yunyan didn't understand what the mission Jiang Yuchuan was talking about was, but she didn't want to ask any more.

The look in Jiang Yuchuan's eyes made Yunyan understand that once this man has made up his mind, he will not be easily changed by outsiders.

Perhaps her understanding of this world is not enough, and she should learn more about the history of this world when she has time.

Or maybe it's because she has been living in seclusion and practicing Taoism since she was a child, so it's hard to empathize with her.

Jiang Yuchuan also understood that Yunyan could not understand him, but everyone has different aspirations. Since they have different ideas, they should seek common ground while reserving differences.

……

As it grew darker, Yunyan and his companions stopped in City C, planning to find a place to rest for the night.

After dealing with the nearby zombies, they were about to head towards the hotel when Chen Jingyang next to them gestured to Yunyan and Jiang Yuchuan to look in a direction, which was the dormitory building of C City University.

At this time, the light of the flashlight on the dormitory building was dim, which was a signal for help.

Jiang Yuchuan and Chen Jingyang looked at each other and decided to go and rescue people.

But we can't implicate Miss Lu.

"Ms. Lu, please go find a hotel to rest first! Jingyang and I are going to rescue someone. Don't worry, the people we rescue will be well taken care of by themselves. We won't cause you any more trouble."

After hearing what Jiang Yuchuan said, Yunyan didn't say anything, just nodded, and went to the target hotel on her own.

These two people seem to be quite nosy.

At this time, Yunyan was already considering whether to join them in the team and go north.

On this side, Jiang Yuchuan and Chen Jingyang quickly walked towards the girls' dormitory and dealt with a few scattered zombies along the way without much effort.

They successfully rescued two girls who came to the dormitory for help, one was named Zhang Qing and the other was named Li Yuling.

At this time, although Zhang Qing was a little hesitant, he still spoke, "Captain Jiang, please go to the laboratory and save our professor, please!"

Li Yuling also looked at them with the same pleading eyes.

Jiang Yuchuan and Chen Jingyang looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

The process of rescuing the two professors did not encounter too many twists and turns, but an accident happened when they wanted to leave the school gate.

Large numbers of zombies came from all directions and surrounded them.

"What should we do?" Li Yuling and Zhang Qing were both a little panicked. Neither they nor the professor had special powers, and they did not expect there would be so many zombies. Now it seemed that two soldiers had been implicated as well.

"Don't be afraid, you two come behind us." Professor Xu and Professor Su blocked the two girls behind them.

The person who said this was Professor Xu. After the zombie outbreak, he and Professor Su rushed to the laboratory and wanted to develop a drug to fight the zombies.

It seems that there is no such opportunity now. It doesn’t matter if the two old bones die, but it’s a pity for these young people. They are all kind and enthusiastic young people.

As they were talking, Jiang Yuchuan and Chen Jingyang had already stepped forward to fight the zombies.

They had not expected such a situation, but since they had already encountered it, there was nothing to regret and they could only give it their best.

I hope Miss Lu can reach the north safely! They agreed to go together as a group of three, but it seems they will have to stay here.

In just a few minutes, the two were exhausted, with new injuries incurred before their old ones healed.

"Jingyang and I will form a breakout circle in a while, and you guys escape immediately!" Jiang Yuchuan said to the people behind him while fighting with the zombies.

Zhang Qing and the others were all stunned. Jiang Yuchuan and Chen Jingyang saved them, so how could they abandon them and run for their lives?

"Captain Jiang, we are very grateful for saving our lives, but we can't leave you behind and escape," said Li Yuling.

Zhang Qing also nodded frantically.

"We're not leaving."

"Yes, Captain Jiang, we will stand with you!" This was the answer from Professors Xu and Su.

Jiang Yuchuan had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. In a trance, he seemed to see himself swearing an oath under the national flag when he first joined the army.

"Swear to be loyal to the people until death..."

He also thought of Yunyan, the person who was as dazzling as the sun.

It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to repay her. I hope she can live well.

Two fists are no match for four hands. Even if they have powerful superpowers, they cannot fight against so many zombies. Just when they think there is no hope.

Yunyan took action in time. She waved her hand and the wind rose, sweeping the people to a relatively safe place.

Then he used the method he used to save people last time, surrounding all the zombies together and using his lightning powers to chop them into pieces. This method was a hassle-free method.

A few minutes later, all the zombies here died. The few that survived saw how fierce the woman was and quickly ran away. It was obvious that they had gradually regained consciousness.

After solving the problem, Yunyan met the complicated and grateful gazes of Jiang Yuchuan and others.

"I was just passing by and saw these ugly guys were an eyesore, so I dealt with them. Now, let's go! It's not safe outside."

Jiang Yuchuan and Chen Jingyang nodded.

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it."

Several people supported each other and walked towards the hotel. Yunyan walked in front, slowing down her pace.

Yunyan really didn't want to care about them at first, but when she saw that they were unwilling to abandon each other no matter what.

Yunyan had an idea in her mind, which was to save them.

Yunyan always felt that if her master were still alive, she would also want her to do the same.

Besides, this was her little brother whom she had rescued with great effort, and she hadn't even gotten the money yet. She couldn't just let them go like this.

The most important thing is that Jiang Yuchuan and the others are not ungrateful people. Didn’t Master always say that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda?

She saved a good person. That's the victory of building an eight-story pagoda.

Yunyan did not compromise. She still disagreed with Jiang Yuchuan's approach. At least she would not save an ungrateful person. She would not disregard her own safety and sacrifice herself for others.

Everything she did was centered on her own interests.

Thinking of this, Yunyan's steps became much lighter.
