There was a sudden deathly silence in the car.

After a few seconds, He Shizhao turned his head expressionlessly.

"Who is the mistress?"

Wu Yi realized something was wrong as soon as he heard the conversation, and immediately lowered his head, almost leaning on the steering wheel while driving.

He just showed a pair of shifty eyes and secretly glanced at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror.

Jiang Chuyi didn't think there was anything wrong until he finished communicating with the mistress, then he realized that he had talked too much.

What should I do? I can’t let anyone know that Xiao San is a zombie.

She curled the ends of her hair and pretended to be casual. "A mistress is a pet. I'm planning to find one."

He Sizhao just listened to her nonsense.

"What kind of pet do you want?"

Jiang Chuyi felt inexplicably guilty and turned his gaze away to look at the roof of the car: "Just... the kind that doesn't need to eat or drink and can work all the time."

Both of them: ...

I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Xiaoyi, you're really interesting. Do you raise a pet, or does your pet raise you..."

His voice gradually faded under the scorching gazes of the two people in the back seat.

There was a flicker in He Sizhao's eyes as he looked at Jiang Chuyi seriously.

"I don't need a pet like this. I can keep working." He paused. "I need food and drink, but my needs are minimal. It's very cost-effective."

Jiang Chuyi's focus was immediately diverted: "Do you eat very little?"

She thought about how He Sizhao's appetite was five or six times hers.

"It's not that much. We can reduce it a little bit." He Sizhao remained calm. "Isn't that a good deal?"

Jiang Chuyi also carefully calculated this problem.

Then she suddenly realized that for so long, it seemed that He Sizhao was responsible for finding food, He Sizhao was responsible for cooking, and He Sizhao was responsible for feeding her, and she didn't put in any effort at all.

"It's quite a good deal." Jiang Chuyi nodded.

He Sizhao nodded seriously: "Then don't even think about finding the kind of pet you mentioned. Xiaoxue and Donut are fine."

Jiang Chuyi thought that she already had it, so she didn't answer, but turned her eyes to look out the window, feeling guilty the more she looked.

He Sizhao frowned slightly and began to calculate in his mind who Jiang Chuyi had contacted since entering the base, and checked them one by one.

The car was driving in this weird atmosphere.

Seven or eight hours later, it was completely dark and Jiang Chuyi was beginning to feel drowsy. Wuyi suddenly said, "Boss, Xiaoyi, we've arrived at Shuidao Village."

Jiang Chuyi woke up and looked at the empty city in the night.

"Su Heng and Wen Xi are afraid of alerting the enemy, so they are staying far away from the village. Should we go and meet them first?" Wuyi asked.

He Sizhao nodded: "Notify others, turn off the lights, and turn on the silent mode."

I had no intention of following the order and turned off the car lights. The night seemed even darker and the uninhabited houses stood in the distance like unfinished and dangerous buildings.

They quickly found the ambush location based on the secret code left by Wen Xi and the others.

"Congratulations, Captain!" "Captain!"

Everyone was very excited to meet again after a long separation.

Wen Xi immediately spotted the white figure following He Sizhao, and opened his mouth in surprise: "Wait... why is Xiaoyi here too? It's so dangerous!"

Su Heng and other members of the special forces were also very surprised.

These people were the ones who witnessed He Sizhao picking up Jiang Chuyi, and they were very impressed by her.

Jiang Chuyi curled her lips, looking as if she was saying "I'm too lazy to talk to you guys anymore", and stood close to He Sizhao.

"I'll take care of her. No one else needs to worry too much." He Sizhao said, "Please report to me about the specific situation now."

"Oh... okay."

After He Sizhao gave the order, no one dared to disobey. Su Heng and Wen Xi turned on a small lamp and spread out the map they had drawn in advance on the stone bricks.

"Their headquarters is right here, in the basement of an elementary school."

Wuyi sneered lightly, "They are indeed a group of rats who cannot stand the light of day. They hide underground wherever they go."

"It's more secretive and safer underground. Most importantly, it's difficult to escape." Su Heng said seriously, "We've been lying in ambush here for nearly half a month and have basically figured out their patterns of movement."

"The entrance is right by the elementary school," Wen Xi said. "If you get within fifty meters of the school, you'll be detected. Our brothers almost died because of that before. But every morning at seven in the morning and midnight at twelve in the evening, they open the gates and someone comes to 'deliver goods.'"

Lian Riqing frowned: "Goods?"

"There's everything: living, dead, food, and supplies." Wen Xi's expression was a little reluctant, but more of a firm determination to destroy them. "We've been observing for many days, and the timing is very accurate, but at the same time, the defense will be more severe."

"Do you know how many victims there are?" He Sizhao asked.

Su Heng shook his head: "This is mainly their office space. Except for some important goods, nothing will be transferred out of here."

"Office space, great." Wuyi rubbed his hands eagerly. "Does this mean there are a lot of bosses here?"

"Several well-known figures are here. They seem to have some major plans to discuss, and they've been arriving over the past few days," Wen Xi said. "Long Pengfei himself arrived ten days ago, which is why I was so anxious to send a message to the base."

He Sizhao nodded gently: "Your judgment is correct. This guy is very cunning. If we let him escape this time, we don't know when we can find him next time."

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Chuyi couldn't help but compare it with the part in the original plot where Lu Qianzhi attacked the headquarters.

Lu Qianzhi also decisively chose to attack after knowing that Long Pengfei was here. However, although he had the help of Su Mowu, Lian Riqing and others at that time, he suffered a great loss because no one had scouted the area in advance and could not understand the situation.

At this time, He Shizhao's organization and efficiency were much higher than in the original plot, and he seemed particularly calm and composed.

He Sizhao glanced at his wrist and said, "It's 9:28 now. We will attack at midnight tonight."

No one questioned why he was so fast. Everyone began to check their weapons. There were many people in the team, but they were well organized and made almost no noise.

He Sizhao held Jiang Chuyi's hand, and the next second, a mountain of weapons appeared out of thin air, filling the open space in front of them.

Su Heng, Wen Xi and others were stunned.

“This, this is…”

"Get your guns," He Sizhao said. "Time is running out, everyone, hurry up and act."

"Yes... yes!" Everyone still felt like they were in a dream.

While taking the guns, people kept looking at Jiang Chuyi, who seemed to have nothing to do with it, but in their hearts they suddenly realized why He Sizhao was determined to take her with him no matter what.

This is a mobile arsenal! It's a great way to bring it, and it's the right thing to do.

If it weren't for Miss Jiang, how could they have such sufficient weapons supplies.

Jiang Chuyi didn't know that her image in everyone's mind had suddenly been raised a lot. She was frowning and looking at He Sizhao who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, slightly raising his head to talk to her.

"Xiaoyi, you've been of great help to us so far, but I can't guarantee the level of danger on the front line. Can you wait for me here in the camp?"

Jiang Chuyi didn't say anything. Although he couldn't lose his temper, his eyes and eyebrows revealed his reluctance.

"Look, where I'm going isn't far from here, just like we did at the base. You can stay in the car for a while and read a novel. I'll be back soon." He Sizhao coaxed Jiang Chuyi softly. Seeing that Jiang Chuyi still didn't say anything, he said, "There's nothing interesting about fighting. It's definitely not as interesting as novels, right?"

"It's quite boring." Jiang Chuyi reluctantly made a comment.

After all, these human battles posed no threat to her and did not cause her any tension.

"So you read the novels here. I'll be back when you finish one." He Sizhao touched her head. "Just think of it as doing me a favor again, okay?"

Jiang Chuyi's eyes moved, and she looked into his gentle yet cold eyes. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind: "You don't want me to go, are you afraid that I will die?"

"That's right." He Sizhao admitted without hesitation, "I'm afraid something will happen to you. This scares me more than my own death."

"You won't die." Jiang Chuyi said.

In the original work, even Lu Qianzhi could successfully destroy this place, let alone He Sizhao.

She didn't realize that her trust and confidence in He Shizhao had exceeded her psychological expectations and reached an unprecedented level.

He Sizhao's eyes trembled and he smiled faintly.

"Thank you for your trust."

Jiang Chuyi curled her hair and felt better.

"Well, I'll wait here for you," she said. "If you're not back by the time I finish a book, you're dead."

"Okay, I promise."

He Sizhao touched her head, stood up and looked in the direction of the headquarters.

"Before dawn, I will bring victory to you."

At 9:38, everyone was ready.

In addition to Jiang Chuyi and some injured team members, an extra team was left behind to deal with emergencies. The rest of the people got on the car and headed to the ambush site that had been explored.

Jiang Chuyi stood in the open space and watched the convoy leave, his eyes somewhat blank.

There would be a few boring hours ahead. Which novel should she read?

However, intermittent voices reached her ears.

"It seems that Miss Jiang is also very concerned about Captain He. Captain He's love is not unrequited."

"That is to say, Miss Jiang was always indifferent to the captain before, so I thought the captain would taste the bitterness of love when he fell in love for the first time."

"Miss Jiang looks so beautiful when she's not angry... Her reluctant and worried look makes me want to give her a hug."

"Please, go look at yourself in the river and stop dreaming. Even if Miss Jiang has a bad temper, she is still a top beauty and has a precious spatial talent. Is this what you can imagine?"

…

Jiang Chuyi:?

I seemed to hear something strange again.

She ignored them and quietly returned to the car, turned on the dome light, took out a novel she had never read before and started reading.

As soon as twelve o'clock passed, fierce fighting broke out in a city not far away.

The sounds of explosions, gunfire, roars and fighting were endless.

The sounds of talking and laughter outside disappeared, and the air was tense as everyone was worried about their comrades fighting at the front.

Jiang Chuyi didn't even blink as he silently turned the pages of the book in his hand.

However, she should have fallen asleep by this time, but she still had no intention of sleeping.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the deep blue in the distance gradually transformed into a lighter indigo, the war in the city gradually subsided, and no new explosions were heard.

Everyone stood up and looked over there, and Jiang Chuyi didn't turn the page of the book in his hand for a long time.

As cheers came from outside, she also heard the faint sound of cars.

Her fingers relaxed, and before she knew it, the pages of the book in her hands had become wrinkled.

Jiang Chuyi threw the book on the seat, got out of the car, and watched the convoy return from a distance.

He Sizhao got off the car first. He lifted up his explosion-proof glasses, his hair falling into a tattered state, revealing his full and clean forehead.

No injuries.

Jiang Chuyi had just confirmed this information when he saw He Sizhao pulling someone out of the car.

The man was tied up like a dumpling, dragged by him in a miserable state, and thrown in front of Jiang Chuyi.

Wuyi followed him and said viciously, "Don't you like bullying people? Now I will let you die at the hands of the people you bullied!"

When the man looked up and saw Jiang Chuyi's face, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Chuyi looked at him with equally confused eyes.

The author has something to say:
