Chapter 467: Someone Is Coming
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Mr. Li said those words because he couldn't stop those soldiers. However, he didn't expect that even when he mentioned his brother-in-law, Zhang Gaohe, he still couldn't control those soldiers. Instead, nobody wanted to follow his idea. Before the door closed, the two soldiers had already disappeared. Everyone felt their hearts tightening from both uneasiness and anticipation.
...
Jiang Liushi's minibus was being driven along the road. Ran Xiyu was continually expanding her spiritual vision's radius in search of humans' mental signs until she suddenly exclaimed, "I detected two people moving!" But just a second later, she said again, "There's only one now, and an infected person is chasing after that person."
"Ying, drive toward their direction." Jiang Liushi made a prompt decision. They had yet to find any scattered survivors in Area A, so Jiang Liushi had made the conjecture that most of the residents should have been gathered to a safe place.
"I'm worried about that man's situation," Ran Xiyu added because she had sensed that man's unstable mental state. At the same time, the infected was approaching at a rapid speed.
"Ying, accelerate!" Jiang Liushi said.
…
A baby-faced young soldier turned back and fired two shots, one of which struck the infected person's stomach, but he still rushed at a constant speed just after a short tremble.
That young soldier's face became pale. They had been careful enough, but the infected person had still managed to track and attack them. Unfortunately, his comrade had died on the spot. Moreover, it seemed that he also couldn't hold on for much longer. Actually, the infected people were more sensitive to living people than zombies. However, if he couldn't find help, their sacrifices would have been wasted...
At that moment, a gunshot sounded, and the young soldier was shaken to see the infected person fall down during his mad run because a blood hole had appeared on his forehead.
'Om!'
The roar of a car was also heard from the rear. The young soldier turned back happily. But what he saw was not his own team members but a minibus. In fact, it was good news for him. At least, there still a ray of hope.
Jiang Liushi's minibus was stopped in front of the young soldier. Jiang Liushi looked at the dead body and noticed those linear parasites in the blood. They were dense and terrible.
"Excuse me, who are you?" The soldier asked while assuming a military stance.
Jiang Liushi didn't answer, but Li Yuxin opened the window and asked urgently, "Hello. Do you possibly know where the scientists are located? Do you know Professor Su Guangqi and Su Tong?"
Hearing the girl's words, the young soldier was shocked. 'What a coincidence!'
"Our team was responsible for protecting a group of scientists. The two professors you mentioned were on our team, but I didn't know their names. I came out to find the rescue forces!" The young soldier answered urgently.
"Ah? How about them? Are they okay?" Li Yuxin felt excited.
"They are all right. However, everything happened so suddenly that the number of infected people continued to increase, and a large number of survivors don't have any fighting abilities. But those scientists are quite important for all of us. The situation is bad. Moreover, we are dispersed," the young soldiers added shaking his head.
"Although more and more soldiers are being sent to Area A, it is still a hard task to complete. In order to control the whole Area A, a lot of manpower is needed. We had been waiting for the rescue team, but we almost used up all of our ammo."
"Brother Jiang!" Li Yuxin looked at Jiang Liushi hopefully.
"Let him in," Jiang Liushi ordered, "Lead the way as soon as possible."
"No problem." The young soldier jumped on his minibus.
And then, they immediately went straight to that building where Professors Su was hiding.
...
In that building, everyone was anxiously waiting. They followed that captain's order and just waited quietly. All the curtains were pulled tightly. However, in such a strange silence, the sound of breathing and heartbeat made them feel more difficult to calm down.
Mr. Li was extremely anxious. He was in terrible fidgets. The outside world was closed entirely by those curtains. For Mr. Li, sitting there was equal to waiting for death. The two soldiers had been out for a while, but it seemed it as if a whole eternity had passed.
Su Tong was sitting beside her father quietly. Just at that moment, the terrible silence was interrupted by the sound of a distant engine, and the sound kept coming closer. Everyone was suddenly awakened from the uneasiness.
Mr. Li jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Someone is coming! It's true."
"So fast?" The captain was shocked. He had estimated that the other teams were in a dead-lock temporarily, so he hadn't expected that the two soldiers could find a rescue team in such a short time.
Mr. Li opened the door. And then they saw one of the soldiers, who had been sent to seek for help, standing outside with several people in the doorway.
'A young man, followed by a petite girl and another beautiful girl with exquisite features!?'
"What are you waiting for? Get me out of here! Where is Zhang Gaohe? Why didn't he come in person? Forget it! I don't care about this now! You should take me out of here first! Hurry up!" Mr. Li shouted in a hurry.
Although he didn't know who they were, Mr. Li believed they were under Zhang Gaohe. In his mind, that could be the only reason that a group of people had come.
Looking at this strange man, Jiang Liushi and his members were flabbergasted, but they did not pay him any heed. And then, Li Yuxin bypassed Mr. Li and went straight into the room.
"Mom! Grandpa!" Li Yuxin saw them immediately.
"Yuxin, how did you come?" They noticed Li Yuxin at once. They had been worrying about her but never had they imagined that she would appear here to save them.
'What?' Mr. Li was dumbstruck by that scene and the realization that Zhang Gaohe was not the one who had sent them. On the contrary, they were here for the two professors!
"Yuxin, since it is not safe here, it's time to leave," said Jiang Liushi.
The captain walked and asked, "Excuse me, who are you? Are you a survivor team?" The captain was also a paranormal so he could sense that the girl's energy fluctuation was quite strong. At the same time, he felt several different energy fluctuations coming from that minibus. Although the young man in front of him didn't emit any energy fluctuation, he thought his sniper rifle was not for decoration purposes. In conclusion, in his mind, that was a quite strong team.
"My name is Jiang Liushi." Jiang Liushi said.
"Oh, nice to meet you. There are so many scientists. I'd like to ask if you would you mind letting us follow you. We can find two more cars and just follow you," the captain asked sincerely as he thought that this team was their only hope to survive.
"No problem." Jiang Liushi nodded after looking around. Actually, Jiang Liushi admired all the scientists, and since the captain made such a request, he naturally would not refuse.
Su Guangqi and Su Tong smiled. The rest of the other experts and professors were also delighted, and even Mr. Li was happy. Although he was not a scientist, he believed his status was equal to those scientists.
"But I still need to go to a place. You can either follow me first or stay here and wait for me to come back to meet you," Jiang Liushi added, without waiting for the captain to thank them.
"Where you'd like to go?"
"The hospital," Jiang Liushi answered.
"The hospital? You really want to go to the hospital at such a critical time?" The captain was totally shocked.
Jiang Liushi did not give an answer. In his mind, this was the best moment to go to the hospital. Once it fell under the military's control again, it would be difficult to enter.
Mr. Li felt annoyed. 'Why does this young man want to go to the hospital? Doesn't he know about the situation there?"
"In that case, we should go to the hospital first," said Su Tong. She didn't know why Jiang Liushi would like to go there, but she trusted Jiang Liushi.
"No, the hospital is too dangerous!" Mr. Li finally shouted. "Young man, Zhang Gaohe is my brother-in-law. As long as you can take us to meet Zhang Gaohe, you will be awarded!"
Jiang Liushi finally took a glance at Mr. Li. "I just said that if you feel it's dangerous, you can stay here first, and wait until I come back."
'What?' Mr. Li was at a loss. He wondered why that young man didn't care about his words and identity at all.
