Chapter 96 Chapter 96 (2/2)
The blue energy bullets glowed, making his tall figure appear almost divine.
Ji Yushi answered according to his memory, “I’ll go first.”

Song Qinglan exited his capsule and strode over to the centre of the roof.
The dark sky seemed like it was only a short distance from them. The seven faintly glowing capsules resembled a lotus.
Reaching a capsule, Song Qinglan stopped in his steps.
The people who had just left their capsules were surprised at his abnormality. They all looked over at him, “Cap Song?”
The capsule opened and out came Ji Yushi who ran into Song Qinglan head-on.
Song Qinglan examined him closely for two or three seconds but didn’t say anything and just turned and said to everyone, “This time we’ll go to the 119th floor. We’ll take turns. Old Zhou, you take the lead.”
Zhou Mingxuan, “Aye!”
One after another, the teammates began searching again.
Song Qinglan was in a very bad mood. Everyone could see it. They could also see that he was trying to suppress his emotions and not let it affect the mission at hand.
Everyone thought Song Qinglan was like this because of this damned mission. Let alone the captain, even they themselves were angry at their current predicament where they had no choice but to continue advancing ahead—–To think that there was another bigger cycle after turning off all the energy transmitters. It was like they were being played with.
After a while, only half of the teammates were left on the roof.
Gunshots rang from below. Song Qinglan heard Ji Yushi ask him something.
“Huh?” He didn’t hear him clearly.
He only saw Ji Yushi ask again with his usually cold and calm expression, “Cap Song, did I make a mistake somewhere?”
Song Qinglan was slightly startled.
Hearing Ji Yushi’s words, Li Chun and Duan Wen behind them also looked over.
“After arriving here, you have been behaving a little differently.” Ji Yushi said, “If I did something wrong, you can tell me directly.”
Standing from Ji Yushi’s perspective, after turning off all the energy transmitters in the control room at Golden Crow No. 2, Song Qinglan had even comforted him and expressed his wish for him to remain in the seventh squad, but after repeating the cycle here twice, Song Qinglan’s mood had grown worse and worse. It made Ji Yushi feel like it was directed at him.
Ji Yushi may appear unaffected but in fact, it was the opposite. Under his cold appearance, he was actually quite sensitive.
How could Song Qinglan not know this? When he was asked this, he only felt his heart ache. Even his breathing stopped: “I——”
Ji Yushi didn’t care about his answer. He had already leapt off and slid down.
“Fuck, is Advisor Ji angry?” Duan Wen was shocked, “I thought he wouldn’t say anything.”
“Boss, let me give you a warning. Watch out for Advisor Ji ‘crack’——” Li Chun also calmly gave his advice. He imitated Ji Yushi’s action of breaking a zombie’s neck in Golden Crow No. 2, “Tsk, I was almost left dumbfounded. That move was both handsome and powerful.”
Song Qinglan, “…….”
He asked with a grim expression, “My attitude towards him wasn’t good?”
The two nodded at once like chicken pecking at rice.
“Very bad.”
“Completely different from before.”
“Not like you anymore.”
Fuck.
Even his teammates could see it. It meant that his unconscious attitude must have been very bad.
Song Qinglan gritted his teeth and similarly slid down the rope.
The battle below was fierce. Song Qinglan went past the 121st floor and the 120th floor and saw his bloodied teammates from the previous cycle. All the rules in this big cycle were the same as the small cycle; space and time overlap, the existence of multiple teams at the same time.
While sliding down the rope, Song Qinglan saw Li Chun and Zhou Mingxuan on the 121st floor being bitten by a group of crazy zombies. On the 120th floor, he, Tang Qi and Tang Le were running like mad down the corridor while Duan Wen and Ji Yushi on the other end were shooting at the waves of zombies charging at them.
Like all the other teammates, Song Qinglan turned a blind eye to this and smoothly went down to the 119th floor, looking for Ji Yushi.
This place had already been cleaned up considerably by the teammates who had arrived earlier.
The floor was covered with blood stains.
After landing, Song Qinglan flipped forward, pulled out his military knife and killed a zombie that was charging towards him.
Just ahead was Ji Yushi.
Song Qinglan: “Ji Yushi——”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ji Yushi’s expression suddenly change. Holding Diamond Bird, he pointed it at him and fired.
“Bang!”
Song Qinglan’s cheeks felt warm. A zombie behind him was shot in the head and its foul-smelling blood had splattered onto his face, “……”
Even if he was still angry, even if they weren’t together yet, Ji Yushi was afraid of him being bitten to death?
Song Qinglan was almost rendered deaf from the gunfire, but his heart felt warm.
He even felt that he was a little perverted.
“You’re welcome.” Ji Yushi said coldly and then turned and left.
