130 The Starving Liu Shiyao
Room 3511 was barricaded by a metal chain.
It looked like the long-haired man had been the culprit.
Wang Ran grabbed the iron chain and pulled it with force, directly breaking the chain.
The door opened.
Wang Ran walked in with Wu Jiaxin.
In the corner of the room, a bespectacled girl was curled up in a ball, holding a dagger in her hand.
From the deep dark circles under her eyes, it was obvious that she had not slept for the past two days.
In order to protect herself from being violated, she really went all out.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ve already killed all the Awakened Ones upstairs.”
Wang Ran said in a gentle voice.
At the same time, Wang Ran gave Wu Jiaxin a look.
Wu Jiaxin immediately walked up to the girl and gently held her hand, putting the dagger down.
Wang Ran took out a box of milk from his backpack and placed it in the girl’s hand.
After being hungry for two days, it would not be easy to eat anything else.
The girl took the milk, tore open the box, and drank it.
Very quickly, the milk was finished.
The girl hiccuped and continued to look at Wang Ran.
Wang Ran sighed and took out a pack of crackers from his backpack.
This was the snack he had planned to eat on the plane.
Wang Ran was quite fond of this particular flavor, some he was a little reluctant to give it up. However, seeing how hungry the girl was, he threw it to her.
The girl caught it, tore open the package, and poured it into her mouth.
Kacha, Kacha, she gobbled it down.
When she was finally finished, she seemed to be a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and offered the last piece to Wang Ran.
Wang Ran waved his hand.
The girl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stuffed the last piece into her mouth.
There was another burp…
This time, she looked much more comfortable.
Wang Ran took out a pack of wet wipes from his bag.
Momo had practically wrestled him to stuff it into his bag, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy.
Wu Jiaxin took the wet tissues, took out a few, and helped the girl wipe her face and neck.
After that, she even helped the girl comb her hair.
This time, she looked much more presentable!
She also exuded the aura of a mature woman.
“Thank you…
“Oh, right, my name is Liu Shiyao.”
The girl pushed her hair behind her ears and introduced herself.
“I know,
“You’re the one who released the signal.”
Wang Ran smiled.
“You!
“You’re not from the ship?
“You heard the broadcast, so you came up to save me?
“You were sent by the country?”
Liu Shiyao excitedly threw out a bunch of questions.
“I was just passing by and came up to take a look.
“You said you’re a Chinese researcher. Do you have any proof?”
Wang Ran asked.
Liu Shiyao thought for a moment, then took out an identification from her pocket.
“This is my work permit.
“I’m part of the Chinese biological research institute, and I was sent to cooperate with a private biological company to develop… something confidential.
“It’s complicated, so I won’t go into detail.”
Liu Shiyao replied.
Wang Ran took a look at the ID, and it indeed had the stamp of the Chinese biological research institute.
Although he didn’t know if it was the real deal, from this girl’s temperament, she seemed to be quite the professional.
“That’s right!
“Just now, you said that you killed all the Awakened Ones upstairs?
“You… Are you very strong?
“Please help me!
“I left something very important in the front cabin…” she said.
“Can you… Can you help me get it?
“I will definitely… The country will definitely repay you!”
Liu Shiyao grabbed Wang Ran’s hand and pleaded.
“You mean this?”
Wang Ran took out the box and the USB from Liu Shiyao’s room from his bag.
“Argh! It’s this one!”
Liu Shiyao reached out to take it.
Wang Ran put the bag back and zipped it up.
“i’ll keep this thing for now.
“It’s not safe for you to carry it.”
Wang Ran said indifferently.
Liu Shiyao was stunned.
It seemed to make sense…
“i’ll give you 5 minutes to recover your strength.
“We’ll leave in five minutes.”
Wang Ran ordered.
“You guys… did you come by boat?
“Argh! Can you help save the rest of the people on the ship?”
Liu Shiyao helped Wu Jiaxin to sit on the edge of the bed.
“I don’t care about the others.
“What can they give me for saving them? Red roses?”
Wang Ran smiled.
“You…”
Liu Shiyao bit her lips.
Wang Ran was right.
In such an environment, she really couldn’t ask him to be a saint.
It was already difficult enough for him to survive.
Moreover, once there were more people, there would definitely be people who would cause trouble.
She had an important mission now and had to return to her country as soon as possible.
She could only ignore the life and death of the others for now …
“By the way,
“What’s the situation in China right now?
“Is it bad?
“I’ve been on the ship the whole time and didn’t have the chance to communicate with the people in the mainland.”
Liu Shiyao asked.
She knew just how deadly the virus was.
However, she still had a trace of hope.
She hoped that mankind would have a handle on things.
“The whole world has fallen.
“Not even a single country has regained order.
“The zombies are getting stronger and stronger.
“However, there are more and more Awakened Ones among the humans. They are somewhat holding their ground.”
Wang Ran explained.
“This…
“I hope my colleagues at the Research Institute are all well.
“If something happens to the Research Institute, no one will be able to solve the virus problem.”
Liu Shiyao gritted her teeth.
“Why would you be overseas?”
Wang Ran asked curiously.
“I…”
Liu Shiyao looked at Wang Ran and felt that since this person had come to save her, she owed him this much.
She could be a little lapse on confidentiality for the time being.
“Our research institute is working to develop a drug that can stimulate human potential and improve physical fitness.
“I was sent over to work with my counterparts overseas.
“At first, the cooperation went smoothly, and the progress was quite fast.
“But…” Liu Shiyao frowned.
This scene reminded Wang Ran of an angry teacher at a loss for words after being asked a difficult question by a student.
Liu Shiyao furrowed her brows…
“However, some time ago, I discovered a terrifying secret.
“There has been some powerplay within the ranks of the higher-ups. The new usurper who ended up on top had a crazy plan!
“They were diverting more energy into researching the failed products found during the experimental process… A virus that turns living things into zombies!
“Also, I realized that they had plans to release this virus to the world.
“So, I immediately stole their data. I pretended to be a tourist taking this cruiseliner back home.
“Who knew…”
