ACT260: Jealousy

Two hours later, Caroline left the main hall with a cold face, and the waiting driver at the door had already taken a nap several times, and when she saw the frost on her aunt's face, she hurriedly sat up straight.

"Where to go?" The driver looked at the girl through the rearview mirror, and his eyes happened to meet her, and the royal blue eyes burst with murderous aura, which was fierce.

"Go back." Caroline was silent for a moment, the chill in her eyes faded a lot, she sighed dejectedly, leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Former colleagues stood on the opposite side, which made Caroline, who advocates loyalty, unacceptable, in addition, it was not that Wu Wentao was suddenly suspicious, as early as when she returned to the strawberry farm for the second time, she still vaguely smelled Wu Wentao's breath, the reason why she did not report it to Kenny, just because she did not have tangible evidence, in addition, the two have worked together for many years, Caroline feels that she knows this old partner, although she doesn't like him, but Caroline feels that he will not betray.

However, the truth slapped her mercilessly, the man who flew away from the Gobi Desert three years ago did not die, he was still alive on the land of the walking dead, and mixed with the exiled survivors who had once looked like a mustard. If it was just that she didn't return to the team, Caroline could still try to understand, but Wu Wentao was obviously not willing to be lonely.

I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure.

A few months ago, a transit station located on the railway line was looted, the materials and weapons were swept away, and there was no living mouth, the attackers were very professional, with sharp hands and feet, and they were busy preparing for the construction of a new camp in the strawberry field for a while, and this matter did not continue to be investigated, but only informed the surrounding living corpse camps to pay more attention.

It didn't take long for the strawberry farm, which was the reserve base, to be wiped out, and when she arrived, there were only more than twenty wandering walking corpses in the garden, as well as a lucky Gao Yang. Gao Yang told Caroline that there was a camp in the ancient city that had been his enemy for a long time, and Caroline had also led the team to attack before, and it was because of the attack on the transit station that he temporarily put down the roundabout.

In fact, the looting of the transfer station was not directly related to the destruction of the strawberry farm, at that time, Wu Wentao had not yet contacted Ming Junwei and others, and it was completely independent, but in Caroline's eyes, the two things before and after happened too coincidentally.

In addition, Gao Yang, who survived by luck, also told her one thing, those who attacked the strawberry farm, in addition to the crowd around the island, there were also some fresh faces, among which there were many foreigners, armed and powerful, not like stragglers. At that time, Caroline didn't take it seriously, only that Gao Yang was looking for a reason to excuse herself, but on the night of the explosion at the train station, the field staff in charge of monitoring the movements also reported a similar problem to him.

It is not uncommon for a survivor camp to appear in an empty city, but there are many similar armed forces in a small area, which is a bit intriguing, Caroline sent Hou Xiong, who met by chance, to infiltrate the roundabout, the purpose is to understand its internal personnel composition, but Hou Xiong did not give her the answer she wanted, and the roundabout has been burned, the explosion at the railway station has also been successfully implemented, and the walking corpses in the city are in chaos.

As a result, it didn't take long for the industrial park, located less than 100 kilometers from the ancient city, to be attacked, the entire experimental area to be completely destroyed, the scientific researcher Professor Tu was killed, and a confidential document was missing.

The field workers who fled the park brought back two pieces of news: 1) antibodies were found in the laboratory, and 2) the attackers were suspected to be armed field workers, one of whom resembled Wu Wentao, who had been missing for a long time.

It was only then that Caroline realized what she had missed, and suddenly remembered the bespectacled young man she had seen at the riverbank camp, who had pretended to be in the group, but was secretly helping the defectors...... The reason why Caroline was careless and credulous at that time was not precisely because Liu Yan claimed to be a member of Wu Wentao's team?

Caroline had an epiphany, and in an instant, many questions were explained, such as the attack on the transit station, the alien armament of the strawberry farm, the familiar formation of the train station, and the destruction of the industrial park...... No wonder, it turned out that Wu Wentao was the obstruction of everything, and it turned out that his former colleagues betrayed the organization and worked against him with the survivor group!?

Although everything is clear, Caroline still lacks ironclad evidence, because in several encounters, Caroline himself has not seen any trace of Wu Wentao, including those armed field officers, and does not appear in memory. So, Caroline tentatively had a meaningless conversation with Yu An, and then coldly threw out the real question.

Yu'an was in this mountain, and he didn't notice that he had fallen into a language trap.

So, all the dirty water was put into a basin, and with a shake of his arm, all of it was splashed on Lao Wu's head.

……

Caroline's report is well-founded, the timeline is clear, the plot can stand up to scrutiny, and with Yu An's corroboration, there is no doubt that one of the former field team leaders has become a big patron of the wool today, a living leader of the party and an inner ghost.

Kenny finally took his attention off the toy and listened with relish, interrupting every now and then to ask a small question and add small details, as if Caroline were telling a story with emotion, rather than reporting on a mutineer incident of a certain gravity.

After talking for more than an hour, the inner hall was silent.

Caroline said that she was excited, angry and angry, and wanted to take all the people and kill Haidao again, but the boss looked playful, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss?" Caroline was puzzled and asked tentatively, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”

Kenny was distracted, stayed for a long time, and said, "No, you can rest for a while, and deal with the antibody matter first." ”

"That Wu Wentao ......"

"Leave it alone." Kenny blinked and smiled, "Let him go." ”

"......" Caroline was dumbfounded.

Before Caroline could come up with a response, Kenny ordered the eviction again.

"If there's nothing to do, let's go back first, I've worked hard for so long, I'll give you a vacation." Kenny got up and patted Ai Jiang's shoulder, as if to see Caroline's confusion, smiled, took out a reagent from the box on the table and shook it: "We have more important things, it won't be long before the dormant period will be a thing of the past, and new evolution and breakthroughs are the key to determining the future." ”

"I see." Caroline sighed gloomily, she worked hard and exhausted, but the boss didn't care at all, and she still felt a little lost. Before leaving, Caroline remembered that there was another thing she hadn't reported, and was about to mention it, when Kenny yawned tiredly.

Caroline sighed secretly, and had to swallow the words back into her stomach, too, he didn't care about Wu Wentao's rebellion, and he wouldn't be too interested in the information about the overseas authorities, and the boss invested all his energy in the underground test site, as long as external factors couldn't threaten here, it was estimated that he didn't have the heart to care.

……

The off-road vehicle drove back to the old command center, and Caroline looked a little tired, standing downstairs and blowing the wind for a while. The blonde girl suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, the Gobi Desert has changed a lot over the years, Kenny is not the same as before, the situation has stabilized from the chaos in the early days, and their role in the field has begun to gradually degenerate.

Thinking back to the lake palace that was incompatible with the Gobi Desert, the curtains, the fierce dogs, the birdcage in the main hall, and the Rubik's Cube in Kenny's hand, Caroline laughed softly, she felt that maybe she should also find some new fun, and one day, the gunfire will be farther and farther away from her, maybe one day the dust will settle, and she will return to her homeland?

Thinking wildly, Caroline returned to her residence, a dim light waving through the crack in the door, and a faint voice in the room.

Pushing open the door, a trace of displeasure appeared on Caroline's face, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”

Gao Yang was talking to the ninth sister, and was shocked for a moment, and when he turned around and saw the foreign girl standing by the door, he hurriedly got up and said hello: "I, I heard that you are back, so come and have a look." ”

"See? Do you have nothing to do? Caroline glared at him angrily, closed the door with her backhand, and looked around, but there was no sign of Yu'an.

"She went to sleep inside." The ninth sister pointed to the bedroom door and pouted, "It seems like going back to her house." ”

Caroline nodded, pushed open the bedroom door and looked, Yu An was lying in clothes, her body and spirit were basically at the limit, and she had fallen asleep soundly at the moment.

"Is there something wrong?" Caroline glanced at Gao Yang, she hadn't seen her for many days, but this guy was much fatter than when she first met, and she no longer looked like a famine ghost.

Gao Yang was a little embarrassed, and said, "I just want to ask, when will I go to sea again?" ”

"Out to sea?" Caroline's face was full of doubts, and she said strangely: "What are you doing at sea?" ”

Gao Yang's face froze, and he muttered, "Didn't you say... That..."

"Which one?" Caroline's face was dazed, and she didn't understand what Gao Yang wanted to say.

The ninth sister was silent, looked left and right, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Oops! You're thinking about being the captain, aren't you? ”

Gao Yang was poked by the ninth sister, his face was flushed, he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and secretly looked at Caroline's expression.

Caroline suddenly realized, and finally understood Gao Yang's intention to come here.

Before the sea eyeliner reported that she found the yacht where the antibody was, she took Gao Yang and the others to follow her, the person in charge of the offshore at that time was passive and slack, stealing and cheating, and was killed by Caroline on the spot, because he was not sure whether the yacht destination had anything to do with the authorities, out of caution, Caroline mobilized a group of field forces from the surrounding living corpse camp, and this matter was handed over to Gao Yang to do.

At that time, the field staff with the ship also teased Gao Yang, saying that he was the new person in charge of the offshore sea, and the ghosts just ridiculed casually, to put it bluntly, they were making fun of him, but Gao Yang took it seriously, naively thought that he was going to ascend to the sky in one step, returned to the Gobi Desert and looked forward to the stars and the moon, and waited for Caroline to let him take office.

Hearing that Caroline had returned with antibodies, Gao Yang couldn't sit still, and went out of his way to ask the opinions of other field staff. Those ghosts are Kenny's descendants, and they don't look down on Gao Yang's half-way errand party at all, and they are also idle eggs, so they get together to tease Gao Yang, and trick him Caroline comes and goes like the wind, if he doesn't take the initiative to seize the opportunity, it is likely to be fleeting.

So, the red-eyed and hot-hearted Gao Yang came to Caroline's residence, full of anticipation, and asked the ridiculous and sad words just now.

Seeing Caroline's slightly sneering expression, Gao Yang came back to his senses, and suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and there was no way to retreat from the small living room, and his face was flushed, almost dripping blood.

"Ahem, I'll go first if there's nothing to do." Gao Yang was ashamed and indignant, his stomach was rubbing against the evil fire, but he didn't dare to sprinkle fire on the foreign girl, the more he held back, the more depressed he became, and he almost bit a mouthful of steel teeth.

Caroline just regarded him as a temporary errand runner, coupled with his personality, his mockery was completely undisguised, and he sneered: "The person in charge of the offshore ... Gao Yang, you have been working with me for less than two months, are you so anxious? ”

"I, I..." Gao Yang was speechless, and scolded those ghosts in his heart.

"Alright, don't make jokes like this again." Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Caroline had no intention of teasing again, thought about it, threw the car keys to him, pointed to Yu'an who was sleeping peacefully in the bedroom, and said: "I'll just leave it to you, there is a car downstairs, and the co-pilot has a document bag, you send the documents and her to the experimental area and hand them over to the head of the experimental team." ”

Gao Yang took the key, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who is the director?" ”

"I'll leave that there and ask again." Caroline had a look on her face that was hard to carve on the rotten wood, and waved her hand for the ninth sister to go in and bring Yu An out.

Yu'an slept very lightly, basically listened to the conversation outside the door, knew that his limit was approaching, and there was nothing to say, sighed, and let the ninth sister imprison her hands and feet again, pushing and escorting her out of the door.

"Start small, don't be ambitious, your elementary school teacher should have taught you." Caroline stood in the door and threw out a cold word, slamming the door shut.

In the dark and silent corridor, Gao Yang's face alternated blue and red, clutching the car keys tightly, almost piercing his skin, and his resentful gaze shifted from the door to Yu An.

Yu An glanced at him, vaguely as if he had heard the name, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"You look down on me too?" Gao Yang squinted at her, his words provocative.

Yu An snorted coldly and looked away.

The fury in Gao Yang's heart is roaring, the ghost guy is playing with me, the foreign girl is mocking me, and even the captives look down on me?

"Okay, okay." Gao Yang squeezed out two words from between his teeth, and the anger and jealousy burned on Yu An, grabbed her long hair and pulled it out of the corridor.
