Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1657 - 1654: Memory Fragments
Zhang Zhicheng’s questioning was very blunt, with his usual superiority, but what kind of person is Thunder Wolf? With countless battles under his belt, his temper isn’t great either.
"Think whatever you like, I don’t have time to explain to you slowly, and I have no obligation to do so. If your magic skills are good, you could catch a bird and ask it, maybe it would know." Thunder Wolf glanced at him disdainfully, his face indifferent.
Then turning to the rest of the team, he shouted, "Regroup, whoever moves slowly will undergo the special training by the instructor tomorrow!"
With a whoosh, the entire squad vanished, leaving Zhang Zhicheng alone by the large pond, with no one to vent his anger on, a surge of fury simmering inside, almost dizzying him.
"This is too much!" Zhang Zhicheng shouted in anger, kicking fiercely at the bushes in front of him, using them as a target for his frustration.
With a "bang" followed by an "ah" of a scream, the unlucky Zhang Zhicheng kicked a stone hidden among the bushes, the kind of unexpected injury made his entire foot cramp.
No one came to help him, he looked around, it was all dark, thinking that the Secret Master might return, he had to endure the sharp pain, limping out of Red Leaf Mountain.
Lin Tian followed the direction Thunder Wolf pointed, circled the mountain, and continued forward, seeing beams of light from a distance, chaotic sounds coming from flashlights and noisy chatter.
"If you hadn’t insisted on looking for that Lin Tian, we wouldn’t have even known we fainted!" This was Liu Yuansi’s shouting.
"Hmph, we searched our way, it was you who wanted to tag along, now you’re blaming us, whining the whole night, are you a man?" Mu Binglan scoffed unceremoniously.
"Then tell me, why did we faint ahead?" Liu Yuansi asked again.
The group fell silent; although Mu Binglan spoke brusquely, she was also puzzled by how her group fainted while searching, but no one remembered how they fainted after waking up.
Just as the crowd was in a noisy uproar, a sound came from afar, Mu Binglan reacted the fastest, immediately shining her flashlight over, loudly ordering, "Who’s over there, speak up!"
"It’s me, Lin Tian." Lin Tian responded, walking over from afar.
"Brother Lin?"
"Lin Tian, you’re finally back!" The group hurried over, having searched the whole night, only for Lin Tian to return alone, which was quite surprising. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Hmph, running out in the middle of the night, making us search the whole mountain, could you be more considerate?" Liu Yuansi said with displeasure, the thought of fainting for no reason was terrifying, but if he knew he had survived swarms of insects and snake seas, would he still be so full of complaints?
Zhao Weitao glanced at Xiao Manxuan in Lin Tian’s arms, his brows furrowed deeply: "Lin Tian, don’t you owe an explanation?"
"Lin Tian, don’t listen to him, we didn’t ask them to come out at all, they insisted on coming. They’ve been chattering the whole time, my ears have grown calluses from hearing it." Mu Binglan said irritably, not liking Liu Yuansi at all.
"Mr. Xiao, what’s wrong?" He Xiaofei walked over, looking at Xiao Manxuan in Lin Tian’s arms with some concern in her voice.
Lin Tian lowered his head to look at the little girl’s face, her sleeping demeanor was adorable, her body soft and light, exuding a gentle fragrance, carrying her all the way was effortless.
With a heartfelt smile, Lin Tian said, "It’s nothing, just tired from play, she’s fallen asleep."
"Tired from play? That’s quite intriguing, makes one curious, a pair of man and woman, what kind of play were you up to?" Liu Yuansi eyed Lin Tian with a lewd expression.
Lin Tian turned his head, looking at him indifferently, his eyes flashed with coldness, these privileged young men normally pampered, had never seen such a murderous gaze, let alone withstand it.
Liu Yuansi felt his scalp tingling, a cold sweat bursting out despite the night wind’s blow, as if he had been drenched in ice water, indescribable chill enveloped his body.
A single look made the noisy Liu Yuansi shut up, Qiao Xiaoyi and the others looked on with quiet amazement, as Lin Tian shifted his gaze back to He Xiaofei: "Class Leader He, when I came over just now, I heard you mention fainting, what happened?"
And when saying goodbye to Thunder Wolf, Thunder Wolf only mentioned people were over here but didn’t elaborate on the specifics, thus Lin Tian raised the question.
He Xiaofei shook her head, looking perplexed: "I don’t know either, we came out searching for you, ended up here, after that, we have no impressions, we woke up here. Feels like there’s something missing in between, but can’t recall at all."
She looked towards the others, they too appeared confused, apparently feeling the same as her, like missing a piece of memory.
Lin Tian frowned slightly, wondering what Thunder Wolf did to them, making them seem like they’ve lost their memory.
"Brother Lin, I have some vague impression, seems like there were insects, snakes, seems like I saved Mu Binglan..." Qiao Xiaoyi said uncertainly, then scratched his head, unable to remember more.
"Ha..." Liu Yuansi and Zhao Weitao suddenly laughed, especially Liu Yuansi, looking at Qiao Xiaoyi as if watching a fool.
He chuckled flippantly: "Xiaoyi, oh no, Xiao Qiao, you just said you saved Mu Binglan? Did I hear that wrong, although I don’t quite like this woman Mu Binglan, I have to say, how could you possibly save her with your skills?"
"I reckon Mu Binglan saving you is more likely, truly laughable. Secretly crushing on a beauty, using such a pretext to gain favor, can you use your brain a bit when chasing girls? Say something practical, within your capabilities." Liu Yuansi lashed out with full mockery.
"I... I didn’t..." Qiao Xiaoyi had a favorable impression of Mu Binglan, and having his feelings exposed by Liu Yuansi made the honest Xiaoyi blush, at a loss on how to react.
"Liu Yuansi, enough!" Mu Binglan yelled in anger, glaring at Liu Yuansi furiously, "Get out now, if you don’t, I’ll teach you a lesson on how to behave!"
"If you want me to go, I’ll go. I don’t care about staying, later be careful not to fall into a pit and have Qiao Xiaoyi save you!" Liu Yuansi, having quite a temper himself, cursed fiercely, turning to leave.
Zhao Weitao then glanced again at Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan, also left in a displeased manner, Xiao Na and Xiao Ya didn’t dare stay and quickly followed the two, soon their flashlight beams vanished in the distance.
"These two are just unreasonable, Sister Lan, Xiaoyi, don’t take it to heart," He Xiaofei comforted them.
"I’m fine, it’s just because I said something wrong, causing you to get upset, it’s all my fault," Qiao Xiaoyi said guiltily, just some fragments appearing in his mind, he inadvertently spoke them out, not understanding why his mind held these disjointed pieces.
"Alright, let’s head back first. Class Leader He is right, dwelling on anger is punishing oneself, it’s not worth it." Lin Tian didn’t explain anything, just offered a few words of comfort, but in his mind questions arose on why Qiao Xiaoyi had those vague fragments when the others didn’t.
