"Chief," the nurse explained in a low voice, "the patient seems to have lost all his memories and is in a very unstable condition. Please..."

Xu Wan blinked in confusion: "Leader? Where is this place? I...why am I here?"

She tried to get up, but it pulled the wound on her wrist and she cried out in pain.

"Be careful!" Zhang Chen subconsciously stepped forward to support her.

Chapter 688 Let Xu Wan go to Northern Frontier

Xu Wan shrank back like a frightened deer: "I'm sorry... Have I caused you any trouble?"

That timid look made it impossible to associate her with the crazy Avenger from a few days ago.

"Chief," the nurse continued, "the doctor said that she might have been subjected to strong stimulation, which led to selective amnesia. Now she can't remember anything about the past."

Xu Wan lowered her head, her slender fingers tugging at the corner of the quilt: "Am I...am I a bad person?"

She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "The nurse said I did something bad, but I can't remember anything..."

Zhang Chen looked at her silently.

The Xu Wan who used to have a hot temper and a strong personality now looked like a delicate little lily, so pitiful and lovely.

"I'm sorry..." Xu Wan's tears finally fell, "I must have caused a lot of trouble for everyone..."

The way she wiped her tears with the back of her hand made her look like a helpless little girl.

"Chief," the nurse said worriedly, "the patient needs to rest now. Being too excited is not good for recovery."

Zhang Chen nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xu Wan suddenly called him, then lowered her head shyly, "Um...Excuse me...Can I know your name?"

"Zhang Chen."

"Zhang Chen..." Xu Wan repeated softly, a faint blush on her face, "Thank you for coming to see me."

Looking at her gentle and sweet smile, Zhang Chen was in a trance for a moment. Was Xu Wan really just acting?

When he left the ward, he looked back. Xu Wan was holding the flowers brought by the nurse, smiling brightly.

However, no one noticed that when she lowered her head, a calculating light flashed in her eyes...

"Chief," the nurse caught up, "the doctor said her condition is very special, and it is recommended that someone else accompany her..."

Zhang Chen frowned: "Send someone to keep a close watch on her, she's not quite right."

The nurse nodded and left, but Xu Wan in the ward still maintained her gentle and lovely smile, as if she had really become another person...

As the sun sets, Zhang Chen stands in front of the office window, looking at Xu Wan downstairs. She is helping the nurse sort herbs in the garden, her movements are gentle and her smile is warm.

Xu Wan was indeed breathtakingly beautiful. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind, and her fair skin glowed faintly in the sunset. But Zhang Chen's eyes were still cold.

"Chief," Ya'er handed over a document, "There's news from the Northern Frontier camp that they need medical support."

Zhang Chen took the document and his eyes fell on the word "Northern Xinjiang". It was a desolate land, with raging sandstorms and harsh climate all year round. Although zombies were rare, the extreme natural environment discouraged many people.

"Just let Xu Wan go." Zhang Chen said lightly.

Yaer was stunned for a moment: "But...her current condition..."

"It is precisely because she has 'amnesia' now," Zhang Chen sneered, "that it is suitable for her to go there and start over."

Xu Wan downstairs seemed to feel the gaze and looked up. She smiled sweetly at Zhang Chen, her eyes full of admiration.

Zhang Chen looked away: "It's too dangerous for her to stay here. Even if she pretends to be gentle now, who knows when she will go crazy again?"

"But the conditions in the northern border are very difficult," Yaer said worriedly, "there are frequent sandstorms, water shortages, and it's difficult for crops to survive..."

"It's better than letting her stay here and harm others." Zhang Chen said firmly.

He thought of the suffering Wang Yan had endured because of Xu Wan's poisoning, and his eyes became even colder.

The next day, when Xu Wan was told that she would be transferred to Northern Xinjiang, the smile on her face froze. But she quickly regained her gentleness: "Okay, I understand."

But when she turned around, her tears finally fell. She didn't lose her memory, she remembered everything. She remembered how much she loved Zhang Chen, and she also remembered the crazy things she had done.

"Can I really... never go back to the way I was before?" Xu Wan muttered to herself as she looked into the distance.

In the sandstorm of the northern border, there are no flourishing flowers, only desolation and loneliness. But perhaps, this is the punishment she deserves.

"Zhang Chen," Xu Wan took one last look at him before leaving, "I... wish you happiness."

Her voice was as light as a feather and was quickly blown away by the wind.

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the convoy carrying Xu Wan go away. The camp was finally able to return to peace.

However, in the dead of night, he would occasionally think of Xu Wan's crazy appearance. It was not just jealousy, but a kind of paranoia that was almost self-destructive.

"I hope she can find a new life in Northern Xinjiang." Zhang Chen said softly.

At this moment, Xu Wan was hugging herself tightly in the bumpy car. She knew that this was not over yet, Zhang Chen would be hers sooner or later, it just took time.

Life in the camp gradually returned to normal.

The superpower team trained by Zhang Chen became the biggest contributor, especially the "Hundred Flowers Team" composed of young girls.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the training ground. The hot captain Su Yu is instructing the newcomers. She has neat short hair, wears a slim combat uniform, and exudes heroic spirit in her every move.

"Do it again!" Su Yu shouted, "Be careful to control the temperature of the flame!"

She is a fire-type mutant who can turn flames into the sharpest weapon.

The team members all said that she was like a rose with thorns, beautiful but dangerous.

Lin Xiaoyue next to him is an ice-type mutant, and at this moment she is making ice to store food.

She had two ponytails and her round almond-shaped eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Every time she goes on a mission, she uses her ice powers to cool everyone down.

“Chief!” Seeing Zhang Chen coming to inspect, Lin Xiaoyue waved happily, “Look, we have stored a lot of food today!”

Zhang Chen nodded and smiled. This lively and lovely girl always brings joy to the camp.

On the other side, the tall Mu Qing was leading the team back. She was a wind-type ability user who could control air currents for long-distance reconnaissance.

His long golden hair flutters in the wind, making him look heroic.

"Report to the leader!" Mu Qing saluted, "We found a military warehouse this time, with abundant supplies!"

The transport vehicle behind her was filled with supplies, including medical supplies, weapons and ammunition, and daily necessities.

"Thank you for your hard work." said Zhang Chen.

"It's not hard!" Mu Qing winked playfully, "With Xiao Qi here, moving these is not a problem at all."

Xiao Qi lowered her head shyly when she was mentioned. She was a power-type psychic. She looked petite but had amazing strength. The pink dress made her look even cuter.

"Chief," the communicator Xiaoya came running to report, "the zombie swarm in the east area has been cleared out!"

Zhang Chen turned around and saw Murong Qing in white clothes returning with her team of plant-based superpowers. She was gentle as water, but she could turn vines into the most deadly weapon.

"This time it's all thanks to Ah Zi," Murong Qing said softly, "her poison ability works very well together."

The purple-haired girl standing next to her lowered her head shyly.

Chapter 689: Carefully Planned Revenge

A Zi can make plants produce highly toxic substances, specifically to deal with those mutated zombies with thick skin and flesh.

Zhang Chen was delighted to see these capable and lively girls. It was because of them that the camp could develop so rapidly.

"We'll have a celebration party tonight!" he announced.

"Yeah!" the girls cheered.

"The leader is the best!"

"I want to eat barbecue!"

"I want to drink fruit wine!"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but smile as he watched them so happy. These girls were not only soldiers in the camp, but also a warm big family.

At the bonfire party at night, the girls sang and danced, the firelight illuminated their beautiful faces, and their laughter dispelled the haze of the end of the world.

This was his camp, his family.

However, what Zhang Chen didn't know was that in the wind and sand of the northern border, Xu Wan was also quietly getting stronger. Her eyes became more and more determined, because she knew that one day she would come back...

The camp was in chaos early in the morning, with long queues outside the infirmary and a nauseating stench in the air.

"Ugh!" Another soldier rushed into the bathroom.

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen walked quickly into the infirmary and frowned as he looked at the vomit all over the floor.

Su Yu leaned against the wall, her face pale: "Chief...last night's food...may have problems..."

Before she finished her words, she retched again. The usually heroic fire-type mutant was now in a state of disgrace.

Lin Xiaoyue curled up on the hospital bed, her cute little face twisted in pain: "It hurts so much... My stomach hurts so much..."

The stench of vomit filled the entire camp, and even the air became sticky. From time to time, the sound of vomiting and wailing could be heard from the corridor.

"More than a hundred people have shown symptoms!" Yaer rushed over to report, "The symptoms are all the same - severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea..."

Zhang Chen's face was gloomy: "Have you found out the reason?"

"It's the meat from last night..." Mu Qing said weakly, "The new batch of meat..."

She didn't finish her words and rushed into the bathroom again.

Zhang Chen immediately ordered: "Seal off the cafeteria! Destroy all suspicious ingredients!"

"Chief!" Murong Qing came running over, "I checked, the meat has gone bad, but the surface has been specially treated, so there is no peculiar smell..."

"Did someone do this on purpose?" Zhang Chen's eyes turned cold.

At this moment, a nurse came running in panic: "Oh no! Xiao Qi and A Zi are in critical condition! They...they are starting to have a fever!"

In the infirmary, Xiao Qi and Ah Zi were lying on the beds, their faces flushed. The two usually lively and lovely girls were curled up in pain.

"Oh...it hurts so much..." Xiao Qi moaned weakly.

Ah Zi was in so much pain that she couldn't speak and could only whimper faintly.

"Take emergency measures immediately!" Zhang Chen ordered, "Isolate the patients, clean up the camp, and track down the source!"

But the stench in the camp was getting worse. The stench of vomit and excrement was suffocating. Even those who were not poisoned could not stand the smell.

"Chief," Yaer handed over a report, "We found out that this batch of meat was purchased from a caravan in the north..."

"The North?" Zhang Chen's eyes sharpened.

North...isn't that the direction where Xu Wan is?

But now is not the time to investigate this. The most urgent task is to treat the patients and eliminate the hidden dangers.

"Activate the backup camp!" Zhang Chen made a prompt decision, "Transfer those who are not sick!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the girls in pain on the hospital beds, Zhang Chen clenched his fists. No matter who was behind this, he would make them pay the price!

However, he didn't know that this was just the beginning. A bigger crisis was brewing...

The entire camp was shrouded in stench and pain, and the laughter and joy that once filled the camp disappeared. Instead, there were groans and vomiting sounds coming one after another...

The camp was in a state of chaos under the cover of night. Yaer led the disinfection team to isolate each room one by one.

"Hurry! Transfer the critically ill patients to the East District!" Yaer commanded, her delicate little face covered with sweat due to being busy.

In the infirmary, the nurses were giving the patient an IV drip. Su Yu was lying on the bed. The usually heroic female captain was now as weak as a withered rose.

"Sister Yaer..." Lin Xiaoyue held Yaer's hand pitifully, "I feel so uncomfortable..."

Yaer wiped the sweat off her forehead distressedly: "Be good, it will be fine soon."

"Report!" A subordinate came running over, "We have found out the source of the food. They were purchased from Caravan No. 3 in the north!"

Zhang Chen frowned: "Caravan No. 3? Aren't they always reliable?"

"Yes," the man replied, "but it seems that they bought this batch of goods from a small farm in northern Xinjiang..."
