Chapter 373 Joining the Resistance (4) - Si Zhong Chases After Him

Ning Shu remained silent; this was truly explosive, but she also understood.

No one can predict the future, so it's normal for those people to think that way.

She changed the subject: "You called me this time because you need something?"

Now let's get down to business.

An Ran's expression turned serious: "After I rescued you, my identity was discovered, and now I'm being hunted down by the Roy aliens."

Mr. Li means that you should stay with me and move with me.

Since you're unlikely to be assigned any missions at the base anyway, you might as well come with me and run around."

I never knew it was like that!

Joining the resistance meant becoming a homeless person? This was something Ning Shu never expected.

Ning Shu looked at An Ran with a complicated expression: "Are you planning to spend the rest of your life hiding?"

An Ran remained silent: "Of course not. After this period, I will go to other bases to join the development and research of other projects."

For now, I'll have to stay hidden; going anywhere will only cause trouble for others.

That's true, but Ning Shu doesn't understand the point of taking her along to hide together. Even if she's useless in the Haicheng base, at least she'll be safe.

An Ran's decision to transfer herself out of the situation actually caused her a lot of trouble.

The person has already been released, so there's not much point in digging deeper. Perhaps she really can "protect" Anran.

After all, her purpose in joining the resistance was to make a difference, because a single spark can start a prairie fire.

After they met up, Ning Shu and the group traveled westward together in an ordinary vehicle with An Ran.

Ning Shu felt that perhaps they needed to hide, so they could only travel in ordinary vehicles and didn't ask any questions.

She was carrying a pistol because she was on a mission; pistols here have evolved into many different types.

In addition to the basic bullet type, there is also a laser type, but the laser type has limitations in its use, with a firing range of only 20 meters.

This is clearly a mismatch for Ning Shu, whose role is that of a sniper.

In addition, her mission required her to move around constantly, so carrying a sniper rifle was inconvenient, so she had to switch to a pistol. Of course, she also carried a short knife.

She carried both her dagger and gun on her waist with a weapon belt, which gave her much more freedom of movement.

An Ran and Ning Shu disguised themselves, while the others remained unchanged.

The journey to Xicheng went smoothly, except for a bit of tension.

After entering the Xicheng region, Ning Shu relaxed a bit. The environment of Xicheng was similar to that of Haicheng, except that it was located inland and not by the sea.

She thought they would go straight into the base, but instead they ended up staying in a rather remote little hotel.

This little hotel doesn't look legitimate at all; there's no sign outside saying it's a hotel or anything like that. I don't know how the people around An Ran figured out that this place was a place to stay.

There were also girls in the group. Ning Shu was arranged to share a room with two other girls. They slept in one bed, while Ning Shu had her own.

Ning Shu always felt that the two girls were always intentionally or unintentionally appearing around her, and she never seemed to have a chance to be alone with them.

She understood that the rebels were worried about her, and she felt a pang of sadness.

The feeling of not being trusted when you haven't done anything is hard to describe.

During the meal, Ning Shu asked An Ran, "Where is Ji Shi? Is there any way to contact him? I left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to tell him some things."

An Ran was somewhat surprised. She asked Ji Shi, "He has been following Mr. Li around. I don't know where he is. What do you want to say? I'll have someone send you a message."

Ning Shu asked in surprise, "Don't you use personal computers to communicate? Surely you can afford a personal computer with good privacy?"

An Ran smiled helplessly: "I had it before, but I'm wanted by the authorities now, so naturally I can't use it anymore."

If you're in a hurry, have someone pass on a message. If you're not, wait until things calm down and then contact him yourself.

Ning Shu could only suppress this thought. She had been away from the game for so long, and she didn't know how the people in the game were doing.

What if they wait too long? Will they suspect that I lied or that the plan didn't work?

Very likely.

The next day, after Ning Shu got up, she went to the bathroom.

This hotel is incredibly remote, because its bathroom is actually outside, quite a distance from the main building.

One of the girls followed him, saying that she was going too.

Ning Shu knew in her heart that these were all excuses, probably because they were worried that she would do something underhanded. She was open and aboveboard and was not afraid of being monitored.

After Ning Shu finished using the restroom, he opened the door and saw the girl waiting for him outside. He guessed she hadn't even gone to the bathroom yet.

As the two were about to head back, a sudden burst of bullets fell from the sky near the main house, startling Ning Shu and the other girl so much that they immediately hid near the bathroom.

After Ning Shu hid, he looked up at the sky and discovered that several aircraft had silently appeared there at some point.

The bullets just now came from the aircraft. Ning Shu noticed that one of the aircraft was already hovering above the main house, its gun barrels pointed at the main house.

The other aircraft dispersed and surrounded the main building of the hotel, with one of them landing on the ground.

The aircraft door opened, and a familiar man stepped out—Si Zhong.

What's Si Zhong doing here?!

Aren't the people chasing An Ran aliens from the planet Luo Yi? Why is it Si Zhong who's here?

Ning Shu had been pointing his gun at the stopped aircraft, thinking he should capture the leader first, but he didn't expect that the person who got off was Si Zhong.

Two more people came down from behind Si Zhong. One of them held a device to his mouth, and the words he spoke were amplified so that they could be transmitted very far.

It turned out to be a megaphone, just with a different design.

"Listen up, you people inside! Come out obediently, or we'll guarantee your lives. Otherwise, we'll raze this place to the ground."

As a representative of Si Zhong, this style is very "Si Zhong".

Ning Shu remained inactive, observing the situation.

Before long, An Ran and the others came out of the house one after another, including the hotel owner and his family.

Si Zhong looked at An Ran: "I didn't expect it to be you. Quite a few of you have died, haven't you? Do you still want to continue?"

An Ran smiled wryly: "Mr. Si, I didn't expect you to go to so much trouble. I am not worthy of your kindness."

Si Zhong said expressionlessly, "You know what I want. If it weren't for this reason, you would all be nothing but corpses right now."

An Ran knew, of course, that Si Zhong never liked to waste time talking to others.

After seeing that neither of them continued speaking, the person behind Si Zhong asked Si Zhong in a low voice, "Young Master Si, what should we do with them?"

Si Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Take him away first."

Ning Shu, who was hiding in the bathroom, saw that they didn't seem to have any intention of harming An Ran, so she decided to wait for them to leave and then send a message to her superiors so they could come up with a rescue plan.

It wasn't that she was afraid of death, but in this situation, she only had a gun and a knife, how could she possibly be a match for several armed aircraft?
