Geng Yan's eyes darkened. He calmly walked over and brushed off Gao Xun's hand.
“Anran, if you really don't feel safe, you can just stay in the base in the future. Our abilities will continue to improve. Sooner or later, you will find it hard to adapt.” Geng Yan suddenly thought of this point.
Ji Anran: “...I wasn’t worried about that. I had only remembered something, so my mood wasn’t very great. You don't have to worry about me.”
Really have to thank you ah. If you would just cooperate with me, just a little bit, and get back together with me, then I wouldn't need to be these distressed. If you don't want to get back together, then just go off to the side for right now. I don't want to talk to you for the time being!
Seeing that Ji Anran's complexion had worsened, Geng Yan even thought he must have guessed right.
"Anran, I know that you’re unhappy. But this is a problem that you will have to face sooner or later, so I hope you can give it some thought," Geng Yan persuaded.
Previously, Geng Yan was still pondering how to kick Wei Yanhua out of the team, but now, it was enough to just persuade Anran to leave.
Ji Anran turned his head away, refusing to look at Geng Yan at all. “No need to try to persuade me. I’m not used to that comfortable life of just waiting for death in the base. I'll go out with you to kill zombies. I'd rather die from fighting for survival outside than to be a rice weevil!”
"Anran..." Geng Yan had a great headache.
Forget it, Anran was only being stubborn with him now. Later, when the strength of zombies grows stronger and stronger and Anran finds that his abilities are falling short of his wishes, he will gradually wake up.
Having been angered, Ji Anran didn't want to pay any attention to Geng Yan at all and walked straight to his little friend instead.
When Geng Yan saw Wei Yanhua that eyesore, his handsome face darkened. He also went over, then hugged Ji Anran from behind, comforting the other in a soft voice, "Fine, fine. Anran, I was the one who said something unpleasant, I apologize."
Geng Yan said this as he pulled Ji Anran to sit down on a chair by the side.
Ji Anran rolled his eyes.
Hehe, there’s really no end to his evil intentions, even trying to forcibly appease him!
With so many people here right now, I’ll temporarily not make trouble with you just yet.
Ji Anran's small hands were tightly clenched as his thoughts gradually became clearer.
The level of his ability has yet to be upgraded even until now, this problem must be resolved as soon as possible. After finishing up here at the farmhouse, they will be heading back to the base, where they will then send the mutated animals to the base’s research institute to figure out whether they can actually be eaten.
When they’re back at the base, he plans to talk to Geng-ge again about getting back together.
If they weren’t getting back together, why would the other tease him? He...
This time, he really wants to make it clear with Geng-ge, he really can't wait anymore.
Seeing that Ji Anran has calmed back down, Geng Yan sighed in relief.
"The middle-aged man from before should have been specially planted inside, responsible for pretending to be the owner of the farmhouse to confuse the ability users who come by the farmhouse. Their car was parked just outside. Their typical strategy should have been that he would draw the people outside in the name of taking them to the village to search for supplies."
Geng Yan started to recall the previous scenes one by one and began to analyze them for everyone.
"The road near the entrance to the village was very clean, it should have been deliberately cleaned by someone beforehand. When I first arrived there from chasing after them, I still hadn’t been able to figure out why. Only later did I realize that they were trying to hide the traces they had left when they had to climb the archway to set up the trap."
After all, if they didn't sweep away the dust, the footprints on the ground would have been very obvious.
Ji Anran clenched his fist, appearing very indignant.
"These people are just too insidious, laying all these traps one by one. First, they would pretend to be the owner of the farmhouse to fool people into the trap, then if the targets didn’t fall for it, they would be led to the archway. From how I see it, they were precisely going to take advantage of the opportunity to explode the bag of blood that was hanging on the archway, so that their pursuers would get surrounded by zombies because of all the blood that will be all over their bodies!"
"No wonder they had planted the blood in such a place. Anran, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even been able to think of that." Gao Xun slapped his head, suddenly realizing. "If I had stood under the archway back then, after avoiding his attack, I would have been drenched in blood."
"En. Their plan should have been precisely just that, but they probably didn't expect for so many of their accomplices to have already been killed while still on the road. With only those three or four that managed to survive and run over to that location, it was already difficult enough to simply cope with the attacks from our team, let alone they had to wait for the right opportunity to puncture that bag of blood."
Geng Yan pinched Ji Anran's little hand and continued to add, "But you guys also don't have to worry too much. If the bloody scent on your bodies really were too strong, Rushui would’ve given that unfortunate person a big rinse right on the spot."
Everyone in the team had been more or less been spattered with some bits of blood or residue pieces after those last two people had exploded themselves. However, as it wasn’t much, Geng Yan allowed everyone to come back to the farmhouse before cleaning up and changing out of those clothes.
"Geng-ge, those people shouldn’t have any left anything else up their sleeves. What are we going to do next?" Gao Xun asked.
Everyone's gaze fell onto Geng Yan as they waited for him to make a decision.
"We consumed a lot of our stocked nuclei just now, let’s go and kill zombies. The higher the risk, the greater the return. Moreover, even if we run into any difficulties, we can always run."
Ji Anran wasn’t able to stifle his laugh. "Let’s go then, let's see whether it would be us massacring them or us desperately trying to run away."
Everyone found Geng Yan's decision to be very reasonable and one by one followed Geng Yan out of the farmhouse’s exit.
