Chapter 99 Going to a Safe Place

"When the alarm went off, the officers didn't know what was going on. They only saw a group of people rush in and bite people, and they treated them as thugs who attacked the police. Later, when they saw that things were not going well, Captain Shen Hua led the officers to get their guns."

The surviving officers led Lu Wei, Lin Xi, and Xiang Xin to a safer office on the second floor.

Lin Xi said she understood.

This is a detention center, and the officers do not carry firearms on a daily basis.

But they were still well-trained police officers. Even though they didn't understand the zombie situation at first, after a fight, they gathered the rest of the officers to get weapons.

Lu Wei was in a detention center at the time. Before he defended Lin Xi, he was also a police officer and knew most of the police officers there.

In a moment of crisis, there's no time to think about such things. He grabbed a gun from the police officer and charged back.

Xiang Xin leaned against Lin Xi and said weakly, "I thought Uncle Hat was here to rescue us, but I didn't expect him to come and handcuff us and take us back."

Upon hearing this, one of the officers said solemnly, "Guarding prisoners is our duty. We cannot abandon the prisoners here and will ensure their safety."

He glanced at Lin Xi and Xiang Xin: "At the same time, we can't let the prisoners escape."

Lin Xi: "..."

At this moment, Shen Hua, who had been making several phone calls outside, came in: "Headquarters knows about the situation here. But zombies have suddenly appeared in Nanhua, and today is a day off, so there are many people on the streets. It has already broken out on a large scale. Police forces from all departments are out clearing out zombies and evacuating the public."

"We need to drive the prisoners from the detention center to another safe area, and then go to support the clearing operation."

If zombies break out in a densely populated city like Nanhua, they will soon spread on a large scale and be difficult to control in a short period of time.

Shen Hua's gaze fell on Lin Xi and Xiang Xin, his tone hesitant: "S-002 and C678..."

Lu Wei interrupted, "Shen Hua, no one believed Lin Xi when she said she killed zombies at Hongwen Hospital. Now that zombies have actually appeared, it proves that what Lin Xi said was true, and that she did not kill people intentionally."

"As for Xiang Xin... she was detained here awaiting trial because she posted pictures of 'zombies' at Hongwen Hospital online. In fact, neither of them are guilty and should be innocent."

Xiang Xin chimed in, "That's right! Now that zombies have appeared, you should know that what Coach Lin and I said was true. Besides, Coach Lin is so skilled in kung fu; she defeated all the zombies in the women's cell by herself. You should release her! Let her go and save the world!"

The first half of the speech warmed Lin Xi's heart, but the last sentence made her feel like her toes were about to fall to the ground.

Saving the world is just something I said offhand!

Who knew that Xiang Xin actually believed it and spread it around.

One suspect tells Uncle Hat that another suspect is going to save the world!

What a bizarre scene this is!

Shen Hua was seriously considering this question.

The “violent incident” at Hongwen Hospital has been widely circulated online. As the captain of the detention center’s police team guarding the main culprit “S-002”, he had heard about the incident beforehand.

He and Lu Wei had been colleagues for many years. When Lu Wei left the system to defend a murderer and used the excuse that "the murderer killed zombies instead of humans" to justify his actions, he and Lu Wei had become completely different people.

But just now, in the instant the zombie outbreak occurred, he suddenly understood something.

but……

Shen Hua: "I will further consult with my superiors about Lin Xi and Xiang Xin's situation. Our branch will now move to a safe area. Before we receive approval from our superiors, you will come with us to a safe place."

She gave Lin Xi a meaningful look: "Don't try to escape on your own."

This is the first time in all the years that someone has successfully escaped from Nanhua Detention Center.

One-third of the police officers were assigned to surveillance and guard duty, while the remaining officers were responsible for arranging the transfer of people in the cells.

Lin Xi and Xiang Xin were not taken back.

They stayed upstairs in a safe place with Lu Weibing, the communications officer, to await the assembly and transfer.

Looking out the window, Lin Xi saw that there weren't many residential buildings near the detention center, so it was relatively deserted.

But in the distance, there was a commotion, as if someone was screaming, interspersed with one or two gunshots.

"It still erupted," Lin Xi said quietly.

Lu Wei stared at his phone screen, seemingly texting someone, and slowly looked up when he heard Lin Xi's voice: "What are your plans?"

Lin Xi had asked Lu Wei this question six years ago, but Lu Wei, knowing about her behavior in her previous lives, thought she was not on the same path and could not be a teammate, so he declined the invitation to team up.

Lin Xi didn't respond.

To be honest, she didn't know.

In this life, what she wants to do most is to stop the zombie outbreak by controlling the source of the zombies in the hospital.

If things go wrong, the first thing to do is run away to save your life. There's no concrete plan for what to do next because there are too many uncertainties.

Just like now, she successfully eliminated the source of the zombies, but she was handcuffed and put in a detention center, yet the zombies still broke out.

She was somewhat bewildered.

Xiang Xin, standing to the side, sighed in boredom, "It's so boring just waiting, I don't even have a phone."

Seeing the awkward silence between the two, she stared at Lu Wei's phone and leaned closer: "Attorney Lu, they still have my phone. Could I borrow it to make a call to my family?"

Lu Wei handed over the phone: "Zombies have keen hearing. Your family's situation is unknown, so it would be better to send a message to inquire."

Lin Xi and Lu Wei didn't know the characteristics of zombies, but Xiang Xin was hearing about them for the first time. She gladly took the phone and typed a text message.

After sending the message, they could only wait anxiously. Xiang Xin pushed the phone towards Lin Xi: "Coach Lin, do you want to send a message to your family too? I just let my parents know I'm safe and told them not to go out."

Lu Wei stopped her and said to Xiang Xin, "You can borrow my phone for a while."

Xiang Xin glanced at them questioningly, but wisely went off to play somewhere else.

Lin Xi finally spoke: "I practiced Sanda for 6 years just to face zombies head-on."

Lu Wei nodded: "But one person's strength is very small, and it is difficult to act or even survive on one's own."

Lin Xi: "So you later chose to join the police?"

"Um."

The police and military are the most capable and armed to eliminate the zombies.

How to join? How to move forward?

Lin Xi was feeling lost when Xiang Xin interrupted her thoughts again: "Coach Lin, you're trending again!"

The top trending topic on Weibo after the "Big Eyes" incident was "#NanhuaZombie".

This was followed by "Lin Xi said a month ago that she killed zombies" and "Lin Xi's wrongful conviction".

The situation within South China is fraught with crisis, while netizens outside South China are discussing these matters from a safe distance.

"Luckily, the trial didn't have to start yet, otherwise he would have been sentenced to death for killing nine people."

"My God, I used to laugh at her for being crazy when I heard her trying to deny that she killed zombies..."

"How did she know it was a zombie? These are creatures that have never been seen before!"

"That was close! If it weren't for her, the zombie outbreak would probably have already occurred at Hongwen Hospital!"

"We must jointly petition for Lin Xi's release!"

"That's right, that's right! Release the expert who killed nine zombies at once!"

Xiang Xin opened the comments section and replied using Lu Wei's account: "Breaking news! Lin Xi just killed another 11 zombies!!!"

Lu Wei: "..."

Lin Xi: "..."

Lin Xi was surprised by Xiang Xin's positive attitude.

She didn't seem to understand her situation; she felt excited about the danger and thrilled to be out of it.

Lu Wei looked away and returned to the previous topic: "Shen Hua said that the military will come later to assist in transferring the people detained in the detention center."

Whatever your choice, we hope you can leave the outbreak epicenter with us first, and we can make further plans once we're in a safe place.

Lin Xi nodded: "I agree."

Two hours later.

Lin Xi sat in the vehicle provided by the military.

Her eyes were stiff, her neck was slightly hunched, and she dared not glance in the direction of the officer.

Yang Yicheng paced back and forth with a gun in his hand, his eyes occasionally sweeping over the passengers in the car.

Looking at the weapon, which was even more imposing than a pistol, Lin Xi dared not utter a word of anger and could only glare at Lu Wei:

Dude, I trusted you so much and this is how you betrayed me?

Lu Wei looked at him with a puzzled expression: ?
