Chapter 19 (Part 2)

……Song Qinglan.

This person was different from what he had imagined.

Ji Yushi had thought that things would become more complicated as a result and everyone would avoid their other selves, creating a chaotic scene where no one knew who was who and whether they were allies or enemies. He had even imagined the scene countless ‘him’s’ appearing at the same point in time and, in order to compete for the so-called main body, a bloody massacre and self-killing would take place. It was simply a nightmare in a nightmare.

What Ji Yushi didn’t expect was that, under Song Qinglan’s leadership, this squad worked like an arrow, never turning back after leaving the bow regardless of what they were faced with, only advancing forward.

Everyone in Tianqiong’s seventh squad were important core players who worked very well together.

They constantly changed Ji Yushi’s understanding of them.

From the first cycle until now, no matter who was sacrificed and who was left behind, their goal had never changed.

It was like it was reminding Ji Yushi that everything wasn’t a big deal. As long as their will was firm enough, they would not fall into confusion.

No matter what, no matter how many of them there were, there was only one goal.

—— Complete the mission and return to their original world.

This reminder made the heavy rock that had been weighing down on Ji Yushi chest lighten a little.

He was shocked. Could everything actually be that simple?

Song Qinglan’s appearance before he fell unconscious appeared in his mind. The other party’s brows were furrowed and there was an emotion called anger in his eyes.

Ji Yushi didn’t understand it very well as to why Song Qinglan was angry.

And so, where were Song Qinglan and the others?

He voiced this query of his.

Li Chun said, “After you fell unconscious, Old Zhou and Old Duan came —– That is, the team you call Team 4, the ones that we got separated from at Runjin Building. They came on a spacecar, so they arrived earlier than Team 2, but they still don’t know about the situation of several of themselves existing. Tang Qi and Tang Le are probably giving them some time to take it in. Cap Song went to find some bandages and so on for you so he should be back soon. Once we gather up again, we will go to our next destination.”

Ji Yushi’s lips were still pale. He was still quite weak.

“Advisor Ji, the bullet wound on you was from Diamond Bird, you shot yourself with your own gun. Fortunately, Diamond Bird uses energy bullets and doesn’t have a physical bullet, so we don’t need to look for a bullet inside you. The wound may look large on the outside, but it is small on the inside. Please try not to do something like this next time.”

Ji Yushi: “……..”

He was probably afraid that he would drag them down.

Li Chun, “Hey, in fact our Cap Song is a pretty good person. That time when Old Yu’s accident happened, Cap Song did everything he could to carry him out of the desert and walked tens of kilometres with him on his back. Although a scout is considered a civilian job, they are sometimes required to be out in the field. After that accident, Cap Song had been blaming himself. He didn’t want you to come so he deliberately said those things. We are at most just a little straight but it’s not to the extent of being homopho——”

“Whoosh—–”

With a soft sound, a grappling hook caught onto the balcony.

Two wandering zombies below turned and started to growl. A few seconds later, Song Qinglan appeared outside the wall and very agilely leapt over.

“You talk too much.” Song Qinglan’s dark eyes were deep. He glanced over at Ji Yushi and continued to say to Li Chun, “I could even hear you bullshit from across the street.”

Of course that wasn’t possible.

Li Chun hehe’d and immediately shut up.

Tang Le also climbed up the rope and joined them on the balcony, “Advisor Ji, you’re awake!”

Ji Yushi nodded at him.

“I’m glad you’re awake! But you should rest more, we still have time!” Tang Le’s reaction was similar to Li Chun’s. His next sentence turned out to be, “Wait a second, let me look. Has the other me appeared?”

Li Chun handed him the binoculars, “He has but he’s not going in our direction. Probably looking for food. Don’t worry, I left some of those Kemeng Beans that no one wants for them.”

Tang Le: “……Fuck, you would even do something like that to yourself. Are you human?”

Song Qinglan was too tall and almost had to lower his head to get under the parasol.

He threw a bag of things at Li Chun, “I found a bottle of painkillers but no bandages. Found some disinfectant alcohol, suture threads and waterproof plasters. Use those for now.”

Li Chun immediately came over to treat Ji Yushi’s wound.

As soon as he touched it, Ji Yushi let out a small hiss. His pale and flat abdomen rose and fell with each breathe and the bullet wound that was barely concealed with a band-aid was already soaked with blood.

Alcohol was placed around the wound. It was so painful that Ji Yushi couldn’t speak. He bit his lips firmly, not letting out a single sound.

“Tough guy!” Li Chun couldn’t help but exclaim when he was done with the stitches, “Advisor Ji, I underestimated you!”

“More than a tough guy.”

Song Qinglan didn’t look too happy. Ji Yushi noticed this.

But unexpectedly, Song Qinglan said, “Giving you an apology, tough guy.”

Ji Yushi: “?”

He doubted his ears.

He looked over. Song Qinglan however didn’t mention why he was apologising. He just stared at him and said lazily, “If you wanted it to repeat less, you have to live. Don’t endure without saying anything, I’m not going to eat you. You are one of us so should work together as a team and take care of each other. This is Tianqiong’s seventh squad’s custom.”

After saying that, Song Qinglan leaned down and took out a brand new T-shirt from his pocket, “Advisor Ji, your clothes were cut open. This was something I picked up along the way. Can you change yourself? If you can’t, make a sound.”

Tang Le and Li Chun both looked over at the same time. Their eyes both said: “???”

Although there was nothing wrong with the words ‘working together as a team’ and ‘taking care of each other’, but when did Cap Song become so considerate?

Could only smart people get that kind of special treatment?

Were they unworthy?

Song Qinglan gave the two a cold look. The two of them quickly turned around and pretended that nothing had happened.

Suddenly faced with Cap Song’s kindness and also suddenly becoming one of the seventh squad out of nowhere, Ji Yushi couldn’t help but be suspicious.
