After Hao Jian confirmed that the escort team had gained the upper hand, she came out of the bathroom.
By this time, she had let her hair down, removed the bandages, and used her long hair to hide her face. She took off her tactical vest and hid her wireless dispatch radio and axe in the bathroom. She only hid her handgun and army knife on her waist.
She pretended to be panicking and quickly found the crowd of people who were also looking for a place to hide.
She blended in with the crowd since she appeared to be an ordinary citizen. The members of ‘Wugui’ who passed by in a hurry had no time to pay attention to these ordinary people, allowing Hao Jian to arrive to Block A without any problems.
When she and Lian Ru Ning separated, they had agreed that she would lead the crowd in Block B and create chaos to distract ‘Wugui’ while Lian Ru Ning would go to Block A – which had less people.
But when she saw the zombies tearing at the living from a far, her temples thumped.
It was obvious that the supporting escort team blew their way in here and left a big hole in the back. The commotion attracted the zombies as they entered through the hole and were soon gathering again.
She didn’t have time to kill the zombies, after all, her main concern is to fins Lian Ru Ning first and then locate An Minghui and reunite with them.
“Tsk, I finally know why the rewards for this mission are so high. If this mission has a grade then this task is undoubtedly on the ‘SSS’ level.” Hao Jian complained to the system.
The system uttered a ‘meh’ with its robotic voice and said, “The host still has too little experience.”
“Are you afraid that I won’t accept any more missions in the future if you hit me like this?”
“The system has detected that the host’s will to live is greater than ever before. In order to survive, the host will make a reasonable choice.”
“You’re so confident.”
Hao Jian also encountered a lot of zombies along the way. She drew her army knife out from her body and slashed around, as if she was just cutting the big bones of a pig.
Her actions to solve the crisis around her were so sophisticated that some people simply followed her to seek refuge.
As soon as she walked to the passage connecting with Block A, she could seethe glass door had long been shattered and many zombies were pouring in from there.
Hai Jian was worried about Lian Ru Ning, but she couldn’t go upstairs under the noses of so many zombies.
Fortunately, the conference center is so large that it was built with eight elevators in mind, and in addition to the escalator in the middle, there are escape routes on both sides of the building.
She ran to the glass doors on both sides before the zombies came after her. She smashed the lock open with her knife and headed up the stairs.
She glanced at the zombies chasing after her. Although they had long lost their bounce and explosive power due to tissue necrosis, it seemed that not all of them ere like that. There were at least one out of three zombies that could climb and catch up.
Without much delay, she ran straight up to the second floor and grabbed another ordinary person who was planning to go downstairs, “There are zombies downstairs. Go back to the hall and hide.”
The man was so scared that his legs and stomach shook, his calves trembling with fright. Hao Jian grabbed his clothes, almost dragging him down, “I ask you, has a girl with a gun come here?”
“You let me go! What girl, I don’t know!” The man shouted.
Hao Jian pulled his clothes, dragging him towards her up the stairs, “If you don’t answer me honestly, I will send you to your god now!”
She didn’t care if these people have really converted to ‘Wugui’ or not. She wouldn’t pity these people when they chose to believe in the absurd principles of ‘Wugui’ and attacked the guards who were protecting them. In her heart, these group of people are hopeless.
The man saw Hao Jian’s cold eyes and a bloody knife in her hand. The man’s heart loudly thumped and his perfunctory disappeared, “Yes, yes, yes! She suddenly barged in and started shooting. Everyone was terrified. When the ‘Wugui’ people wanted to catch her, she ran upstairs.”
Hao Jian ran upstairs after their conversation. According to Chen Zhen, there is no great hall on the third floor of Block A. The third and fourth floors may also be where the Fragrant Master ‘Wugui’ is hiding, which was no less dangerous than the fourth and fifth floors of Block B.
After she came up, she searched the two conference rooms without seeing Lian Ru Ning respond. When she got to the center, she saw the elevator open and two zombies cam out of it. They looked especially excited upon seeing her presence.
Hao Jian gad to give up her again and head straight up to the fourth floor.
Lian Ru Ning is at least so far unharmed, otherwise the system would have reminded her that her mission had failed.
The system saw that she actually used the ruled to confirm the life and death of Lian Ru Ning and it didn’t know what to say.
The host is too cunning. It simply can’t analyze her thinking in a fixed way at all.
“See if she’s in here!” Hao Jian heard someone yell from the stairway.
She poked her head out and took a look. At the fourth door stood two fierce looking members of ‘Wugui’ who kept banging on the door, but it was tightly locked from the inside.
When they weren’t paying attention, Hao Jian took out her pistol, which only had a few bullets left, and fired several shots at them. One of them was shot in the waist while the other was shot in his arm.
The two men were taken by surprise by the sound of the gunshots and the pain from their wounds spread rapidly, causing them to fall on the ground, covering their wounds.
The man with the wounded arm grabbed the gun that fell on the ground to deal with Hao Jian. However, when they fell on the ground, Hao Jian had already rushed over and kicked their weapons away.
Although their bodies were relatively strong, they haven’t received any special training. The pain from the gunshot wounds made them unable to react properly while Hao Jian relentlessly sent ‘God’s blessing’ to their most vulnerable brother without mercy.
They were in so much pain that they almost passed out, and under the torture of their wounds, they weren’t able to hold out for so long and fell unconscious. Hao Jian pounded on the door, “Lian Ru Ning, are you in there?”
She waited for a while but didn’t hear any movement. Remembering that these two people weren’t sure if there was anyone inside, she was ready to leave.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened and Hao Jian had just recognized Lian Ru Ning as she jumped and tightly hugged Hao Jian.
Her movements were so swift and violent that Hao Jian thought she had been zombified and couldn’t resist biting when she saw a living person.
However, Lian Ru Ning just hugged her tightly and showed no signs of biting her.
“You’re okay, that’s great!”
Hao Jian felt that Lian Ru Ning’s body was trembling and after thinking about it, why was she relieved? Although she used the system’s rules to guess that Lian Ru Ning was okay, it was still a guess after all. Before she could see Lian Ru Ning in person, she wouldn’t dare guarantee that her guess was right.
Hao Jian reached out and wrapped her arms around Lian Ru Ning. Feeling the rising and falling of the other party’s chest, confirming her heartbeat.
“Well, I’m fine. I said that I would reunite with you when I’m done, and I do what I say,”
Lian Ru Ning’s eyes were sore. When she was being chased, she almost thought that she wouldn’t be able to escape their pursuit, but she didn’t regret making a decision to come here.
She wanted to live, go back to southern city, find her family, and see Hao Jian again – the person who saved her when they first met and then held her hand all the way to escape the zombies’ pursuit. The person who seems a bit unfriendly, but was actually gentle and would say flirty things to relieve their inner tension. The person who said that she didn’t care about life, but would never think of giving up until the last moment.
In the midst of panic, all she could think of was actually Hao Jian’s strengths, and even when she was forced into a desperate situation, she tapped into her the deepest emotions in he heart. . .
She seems to have fallen in love with Hao Jian.
At this moment, when she heard Hao Jian’s voice, she even thought that she was simply hallucinating because she was stimulated by the sound of gunfire. And yet, as she slowly opened the door that could determine her life or death, she saw that familiar face.
The hug between Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning didn’t last long because they heard some gunshots in the hallway, and immediately dashed inside another door. In order to not make any noise, their movements were very light. The two of them stayed by the wall, holding their breaths while paying attention to the situation outside.
Suddenly, someone outside the door said, “Still alive.”
Two gunshots rang out immediately afterwards and their heartbeats thumped quickly.
“What’s the situation?” Lian Ru Ning mouthed to Hao Jian without sound.
Hao Jian shook her head and heard the door of the conference room next door being opened, and the voice rang out again, “Nothing here.”
The two people’s heartbeats quickened, and the their intertwining hands were held even tighter.
The doorknob moved, and Hao Jian’s army knife was already ready. As soon as the door opened, a gun was pointed at Hao Jian’s head, but she didn’t swing the knife.
Of course it wasn’t because of her slow speed, but when the door opened, she suddenly thought of the words and the sound of the gun. She already guessed who the other party was, and she was right. As the light poured in from the doorway, she saw the familiar escort uniform and there was no reason to strike.
The other party stared at Hao Jian for a moment before putting the gun down, “It’s you guys! Why didn’t you guys go back?”
Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning sighed heavily. The other party wasn’t a stranger but a member of the escort team of Jiangxin Island Refuge base. Hao Jian vaguely remembered that his name was Kong Ying Sheng, one of the team members who went out to do search and rescue work.
Lian Ru Ning almost fell limp to the ground. Hao Jian supported her and asked, “You’re one of the people who came to support?”
Kong Ying Sheng nodded, “Chief Yi briefed us on the situation here and asked us to suspend the search and rescue work and fully support Adjutant An.”
“Then, how much do you know about the situation here?”
Kong Ying Sheng was silent for a while and said, “Originally, I didn’t know much about it. Not long ago, someone used out special waveband to transmit a message out-” He paused and turned to Hao Jian with a strange look, “Why do I feel like it sounded a little bit like you?”
Hao Jian thought of A Tao, and her heart became heavier. She asked, “Have you found the location of Xiangzhu?”
“No news out yet. There are too many enemies and many of our teammates have been injured. I’m also searching now.”
Hao Jian’s temples suddenly throbbed, “Adjutant An and Chen Zhen should have been on the fifth floor of Block B to look for them. So if there hasn’t been any news so far, they either got into an accident. . . or the leader of ‘Wugui’ is not here at all!”
Lian Ru Ning was surprised, “If they’re not here, then where are they?”
Hao Jian frowned, “No, when the guards came for support, the conference center was already in chaos. We all fell into the misconception that where the defense is best, that’s where they would hide, but would they still rely on their faithful believers who have no professional training to deal with an elite escort team?”
Lian Ru Ning suddenly thought, “Could they have taken advantage of the confusion and blended into the crowd?”
Both Hao Jian and Kong Ying Sheng both lit up. The people of this cult would not be filled with the kind of loving and righteous people, so it was very possible that the ‘Xiangzhu’ had abandoned their faithful believers and fled for his own life.
But finding someone this way is like finding a needle in a haystack. The conference center has been invaded by zombies and even if they could eliminate the forces of ‘Wugui’ there was no way to find someone they had never met among thousands of people.
At this time, Kong Ying Sheng’s wireless dispatch radio also came out with a low voice, “The cult leader ‘Xiangzhu’ is pretending to be an ordinary person to blend into the crowd, everyone must pay attention.”
Hao Jian heard that it was An Minghui’s voice. he had rescued the remaining hostages. Because these teammates were holding various confidential information, the people of ‘Wugui’ didn’t kill them like the other members of the escort team.
But in order to force them to join ‘Wugui’, they were also tortured enough.
Hao Jian asked Kong Ying Sheng if she could borrow the radio and said, “Adjutant An, did A Tao go to see you?”
It took a long time for a reply to arrive, “I found him.”
An Minghui’s voice was lower than earlier. It seemed to have a hint of uncontrollable pain.
Hao Jian understood what he meant.
Kong Ying Sheng looked at Hao Jian, “What happened to A Tao?”
Hao Jian returned the wireless radio to him but didn’t speak. She picked up a chair and sat down. Kong Ying Sheng also sensed the truth from her silence and An Minghui’s words and punched the wall filled with sadness and anger.
Hao Jian didn’t stay sad for too long because she suddenly found some papers scattered on the floor and a very cartoonish photo frame by her feet.
If such a conference room was not used for other purposes, hoc could there be such a photo? So she went over and picked up the frame and took a look.
On it was a family photo of three. On the left stood a man in an guard uniform holding a five-year-old girl in his arms, while standing on the right is a plainly dressed woman.
Hao Jian suddenly asked, “Xiao Ning, do you think this man looks familiar?”
Lian Ru Ning froze because of Hao Jian’s new nickname for herself, but she soon came back to her senses. She walked over to look at the man on the photo and thought carefully. There was indeed a vague memory in her mind.
Kong Ying Shen walked over and the moment he saw the photo, he said, “Where have you seen him before? He’s the commander-in-chief we’re trying to find!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar scene surfaced in the minds of Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning at the same time. The two looked at each other and blurted out, “The infirmary!”
After Hao Jian confirmed that the escort team had gained the upper hand, she came out of the bathroom.
By this time, she had let her hair down, removed the bandages, and used her long hair to hide her face. She took off her tactical vest and hid her wireless dispatch radio and axe in the bathroom. She only hid her handgun and army knife on her waist.
She pretended to be panicking and quickly found the crowd of people who were also looking for a place to hide.
