Chapter 7: The Two Villains Slowly Fight Each Other

[Order received: Rescue those in mortal danger.]

Li Nai held Mao Xiaomin and hid in a tall tree.

Twenty meters ahead, two rows of soldiers stood back to back, forming a human wall. The outer wall swept bullets at the mutated survivors, while the inner circle surrounded two women.

Several beams of light shone on the two women, their bodies overlapping one after the other, graceful like two female leads on a stage, while cold gun barrels stared at them.

"Don't make any rash moves; you can't escape."

Lieutenant Li shouted loudly.

"Run?" Su Momo, who was close behind Ji Fenglan, revealed a slightly smiling eye. "I don't need my feet. I want you to prepare a car and watch us leave."

"snort!"

The senior military officer, nearly fifty years old, standing next to Lieutenant Li sneered.

Su Momo's smile remained unchanged as she turned her attention to the other person.

"Even a cornered beast will fight. If you know what's good for you, release the person quickly, and we will treat you leniently."

Su Momo's smile deepened. A wooden-handled awl extended from her hand, its sharp tip reflecting a chilling light, and was pressed against Ji Fenglan's waist.

"Do you want to know what's stuck to this little awl?"

The awl tip moved aimlessly, its cold gleam from the lamplight flashing and blinding.

The pointed toe left a thin, shallow stain on the clothes it passed through.

Lieutenant Li, who was keeping a close eye on her movements, narrowed his small eyes.

--Blood?

The thought that the blood might be from a mutated virus caused his brow to furrow deeply. He exchanged a knowing glance with Colonel Wang beside him. The doubt in the other's eyes mirrored his own.

As they considered solutions, things took a turn.

"You'd never guess, would you? I'll show you."

With a swift motion, the awl plunged deep into Ji Fenglan's stomach.

Ji Fenglan looked at her in shock, and the other woman noticed and returned a smile.

The awl, which had been driven twelve centimeters deep, was pulled out, and fresh blood gushed out.

A thin red waterfall was left behind by the pure white coat.

madman.

"In a few hours, this beautiful Dr. Ji will turn into an ugly monster. I can watch the process with everyone."

Everyone present was breathing heavily. Especially Lieutenant Li.

He couldn't figure out if this undercover agent was there to rescue or kill. But letting him go was absolutely out of the question. Ji Fenglan was extremely important to his superiors; even if it meant death, he couldn't be allowed to return to his "lair," as that would only exacerbate the global crisis.

"Give her a car," Colonel Wang said calmly.

"Colonel!" Lieutenant Li exclaimed in disbelief.

Colonel Wang glanced at him indifferently.

He noticed that the colonel had his hands behind his back, and his fingers were secretly placed on his elbows twice.

He understood instantly.

Survivors rescued from outside are given an injection upon entering the camp. The liquid contains a special substance that can be used for sensing and tracking, and it takes three days for the human body to absorb it.

The female undercover agent has a special substance in her body, so even if they give her a car to escape, they can still catch up with her.

Lieutenant Li instructed Xiao He, who was standing beside him, to prepare the car.

Soon, a green pickup truck arrived and stopped at the outer edge of the human wall.

Su Momo pulled the limp Ji Fenglan closer step by step, and the gun barrels pointing at them moved inch by inch along with them.

Open the passenger door.

Su Momo smiled and said to the young soldier in the driver's seat, "Thank you, handsome young man. You can get out of the car now."

The young soldier glanced at the two men, paused for a second on Ji Fenglan's pale face, and calmly got out of the car.

Once the person was back in the group, Su Momo quickly pushed them into the parking space and thoughtfully fastened their seatbelt.

He closed the car door, deftly flipped the wooden-handled awl with his fingers, and leisurely walked around to the front of the car.

His upturned eyes swept lightly over the soldiers who were on high alert.

—It's unusually quiet.

Hold the driver's side door handle.

Thump!

The roof of the car dented, making a loud noise.

Snap—

Su Momo dodged the sharp branch that was coming at her, the leaves rustling against her face.

Without moving his head, he grabbed a branch and pulled it backward.

The attacker took advantage of the situation, flipped off the roof of the car, and pried open the metal door in two quick movements.

The person had already bent down and entered the car to rescue the person.

Su Momo remained calm and composed. With her five fingers together, a layer of metallic silver seeped from her skin. She thrust her hand forward towards the window, instantly shattering the glass. A long, silver-white knife, connected to her arm, stretched across the driver's seat, aimed directly at the other person's neck.

Clang!

The blade remained motionless against the soft skin, as if resisted by some force.

The attacker raised his face, revealing a familiar one.

Li Nai?

A cold glint flashed in her upturned, beautiful eyes.

"Li Nai" took the opportunity to abduct the person.

"shot!"

Lieutenant Li seized the opportunity to issue orders.

A hail of bullets rained down on Su Momo, who was alone. She quickly took cover behind the car. Through the gaps, she glared hatefully at "Li Nai's" back.

Li Nai handed the person over to the female soldier who took over. She turned around, her face looking back and forth between the soldier and Su Momo.

After standing still for a few seconds, she started walking towards Su Momo.

Bullets clanged and clattered as they struck her, sending pieces of her clothing flying everywhere.

To Su Momo's surprise, "Li Nai" stood upright in front of her, bent down, and reached out to hug her.

"Your life is in danger and you need protection..."

With a thud, Li Nai collapsed to the ground, her eyelids twitching slightly, as if she had fallen into a painful coma.

Su Momo glanced over; they had arrived just in time. She helped "Li Nai" up to act as a riot shield, avoiding the bullets.

She glanced at the target and was shocked to find the female soldier drawing her pistol and pointing it at Ji Fenglan, shouting threats at her own people.

"Stop shooting, or I'll blow her head off and make sure your commander never gets treatment."

The gunfire stopped.

The female soldier helped Ji Fenglan towards the car, and she glanced at Su Momo.

"Hurry up and get in the car."

Su Momo's narrowed eyes showed a hint of amusement. Without a word, she forcibly pulled the unconscious Li Nai into the back seat.

The military green pickup truck carrying the four people sped away.

"Explain this to me."

The cool metallic air brushed against my neck.

The female soldier sensed a hint of danger, steadied the steering wheel, and glanced at the rearview mirror.

In the narrow mirror, Su Momo's enlarged eyes met her gaze with a smile.

Su Momo pressed her face closer to the female soldier, her elongated index fingernail playfully scraping against the female soldier's carotid artery.

"S04, stop."

A weak voice came from the passenger seat.

Su Momo's smile vanished instantly as she glanced sideways at Ji Fenglan, whose lips had turned purple.

How could a female doctor know her internal identification number?

Who are you?

A fingertip pierced the skin of the female soldier's neck, leaving a drop of blood.

A palpable sense of murderous intent filled the carriage. Ji Fenglan was absolutely certain that if they weren't careful and made any noise, they would be killed instantly.

S04 Qi Shuihan is exceptionally capable, but unfortunately, he's a capricious madman.

Ji Fenglan adjusted his slipped gold-rimmed glasses and slowly said, "I was the one who gave you the task."

"oh?"

Qi Shuihan's lips curled up, her eyes turning cold.

"Only the highest-ranking manager can issue tasks. What do you think?"

She raised her middle finger, the silver tip of which extended, and gently pierced the female soldier's neck.

Ji Fenglan glanced at her watch, then looked at the night outside the car. There were still two hours until dawn. She pressed her grayish hand, which was covering her abdominal wound, harder.

The fine, deep wound continued to bleed.

He had no choice but to admit, "I am the manager of G."

Qi Shuihan laughed out loud.

"You should have said so earlier."

The two slender, silver fingernails on the female soldier's neck retracted, and she gently patted the female soldier's shoulder. "Drive carefully."

Her tone was light and cheerful, as if she hadn't been the one who had just stabbed someone in the neck.

Qi Shuihan leaned back, letting out a long, aching groan.

"I'm so tired. Dear Manager G, why are you being so mysterious to your employees?"

The last few words were mumbled, yet they exuded a strong sense of sarcasm.

Ji Fenglan tilted her chin up and used the rearview mirror to observe Qi Shuihan in the back seat. She closed her eyes, hooked her arm around the unconscious Li Nai beside her, and hugged her like a teddy bear.

Ji Fenglan relaxed her shoulders and slumped into her seat. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and sweat poured down her forehead.

She leaned forward as if she couldn't bear it, opened her mouth and vomited blood; dark blood clots dripped from the lower right corner of the windshield.

Her two delicately arched eyebrows furrowed, and a bead of sweat the size of a bean rolled down her brow.

"Sergeant Yue, quick, find a clinic nearby." Her voice trembled.

The pickup truck sped into the nearest town and came to a stop in front of a "Zhang Guixian Clinic".

The glass door was wide open, and the light from the streetlights shone directly onto the entrance, while the clinic was pitch black inside.

"You stay here."

Ji Fenglan pressed down on the female soldier's hand as she tried to unbuckle her seatbelt, gesturing with her eyes to glance back.

In the back seat, the two people who were intimately close together showed no signs of waking up.

The female soldier nodded and then handed her a pistol.

"Be careful inside."

Ji Fenglan took it and held it in his hand. He pulled the small handle, pressed his upper body against the car door, and used all his strength to push it open.

Yue Nubing's gaze followed Ji Fenglan past the unclosed passenger door until her figure disappeared into the darkness of the clinic.

Are you worried about her?

The warm, humid breath was blowing behind my ear.

The female soldier drew another gun, but the upward-pointing muzzle was pressed down by a hand.

"Don't be so nervous. We're colleagues, we should get along well."

The female soldier glanced at her coldly, without saying a word.

Qi Shuihan tapped the muzzle of the gun with his fingertips. "You stay in the car. I'll go out and deal with a few little bastards."

The female soldier stubbornly pointed her gun at her.

Qi Shuihan chuckled lightly and got out of the car, seemingly unconcerned.

The surroundings were empty and dark, with only the faint chirping of insects in the summer.

She first stretched, then put her hands behind her head to tie up her long, smooth hair, and walked behind a wall.

After waiting for Qi Shuihan to appear, Yue Nvbing looked towards the clinic, but there was still no movement.

She felt a moment of dizziness, as if the whole world consisted only of her and another unconscious person.

Bang bang!

Gunshots rang out in the distance.

The female soldier quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, keeping her eyes glued to the clinic.

The car door opened, she stopped, and remembering something, turned her head to look at the unconscious person in the back seat.

G values ​​this person highly. She should be watching over him now.

I closed the car door and cautiously observed my surroundings.

Rolling around—

Something is rolling behind it.

The female soldier looked back nervously, but the sound had disappeared. She glanced again at the wall Qi Shuihan had walked into; no one had come out.

Turning around, I caught my breath.

Hi~

Qi Shuihan raised his hand, his fingers swaying in a wave-like motion, to greet her.

The female soldier Yue landed safely, her heart pounding with fear. She couldn't help but scold, "Why did you take so long? Did you deal with those people?"

Qi Shuihan leaned against the car door, her smile unchanged, but it became somewhat eerie after a while.

The female soldier frowned; they were so close—

Pfft!

Something was inserted into her chest.

Looking down, I saw a gleaming silver knife, unlike any ordinary blade.

"Where in the workplace are there truly friendly colleagues? Don't you think so?"

Qi Shuihan tilted his head, his smiling eyes observing the female soldier's expression.

The dagger was pulled out, and blood gushed from his chest like a fountain.

The female soldier fell onto the steering wheel of the car.

Qi Shuihan opened the door, dragged out the body, and then took the driver's seat.

He glanced at the clinic, then idly tapped the blood-stained steering wheel with his finger.

If it weren't for the mission that had to be completed, she would have loved to leave with Li Nai. She didn't want to miss out on such a quirky and interesting person.

Ten minutes have passed.

Qi Shuihan glanced at the clinic again.

Could someone have died inside?

Just as I was about to reflect on whether I had gone too far, Ji Fenglan staggered out of the clinic, carrying a student bag in her hand.

Judging from her physical condition, she did hit her a bit too hard. She was not even in a daze and didn't realize that the driver had been replaced when she closed the car door.

"Dr. Ji, you're so slow."

Ji Fenglan jumped like a startled rabbit, his body slamming against the car door, and the gun he was holding in his right hand unfortunately fell into the gap between the car and the door.

Where is she?

As Ji Fenglan asked, he quietly slipped his hand into the gap and pulled the trigger.

Qi Shuihan rested his elbow on the steering wheel, his fingers twirling a strand of hair, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Dead."

"It's you!" Ji Fenglan felt a tearing pain coming from the bandage.

Qi Shuihan's eyes widened, and she nodded innocently. Suddenly, she leaned towards Ji Fenglan.

Ji Fenglan stopped his men's clandestine actions.

"Save your energy, don't touch the gun. Do you think you can hit me in this situation? I'll drive you to the rendezvous point later."

The seatbelt is extended and fastened.

As she sat back down, Qi Shuihan deliberately pressed her hand against her wound.

Ji Fenglan's expression changed, and she was in so much pain that she could barely scream.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I pressed on your wound."

Qi Shuihan finished speaking with a smile and then drove off.

At four in the morning, the darkness began to lighten.

Standing on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking into the distance, you can see a pale white horizon.

A helicopter came flying overhead from the center.

Qi Shuihan picked up the schoolbag from the ground and carried the feverish and dazed Ji Fenglan.

The helicopter landed in the center of the rooftop, and several fully armed men in black uniforms disembarked with guns on their shoulders.

They took Ji Fenglan and ran back without stopping.

Qi Shuihan took a step back, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, her body suddenly stiffened, and a huge gravitational force pulled her back.

The helicopter took off quickly.

Her whole body was uncontrollably lifted upwards.

"S04 crossed the boundary, damaging G management, immediately return to be punished."

The external bone of the ear vibrates, transmitting electronic sound.

Qi Shuihan glanced up at the parking area.

The fifth day of punishment.

A completely enclosed square white space, a white wall creaked as a hidden door slid open and a woman entered.

"You've had a pretty good time being punished."

The woman in the white dress with waist-length hair spoke first.

She had an oval face, fair and delicate skin, and slender eyebrows and eyes that were classically beautiful, like a traditional Chinese ink painting. Her appearance and the pure and innocent aura she exuded were somewhat similar to the fox-eyed woman reading a book on the bed opposite her.

Qi Shuihan turned a page and focused intently on the novel, showing no interest whatsoever in anyone coming.

Bai Zhi's gentle and unassuming image instantly crumbled.

She shoved the novel out of Qi Shuihan's hand, furious: "Qi Shuihan, you have such great charm! To lessen your punishment, R management volunteered to take the punishment for you and even gave up some of their shares."

Qi Shuihan chuckled and raised her bright, fox-like eyes: "It's rare to hear your praise. But he's just being wishful, there's nothing I can do about it."

Bai Zhi's face turned red with anger—no, she was driven mad with jealousy.

Qi Shuihan happily picked up the novel and continued reading.

Bai Zhi pinched her palms with her nails to force herself to calm down. In a few days, Qi Shuihan would be going out on a mission. She would take the opportunity to take care of R personally. Wouldn't that melt a man's heart?

"for you."

An envelope was placed on top of the novel.

Qi Shuihan looked at her.

"New mission, let's see how it goes."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she walked out.

Qi Shuihan folded a corner of the book as a bookmark and closed the novel.

The file contains detailed information about a woman.

Picking up a candid photo, a look of amazement flashed in my eyes. The mature woman in the photo was of mixed Chinese and Western descent, wearing a dark brown leather coat with a fur collar, her beautiful golden-brown curly hair flowing and swaying across her face, her slightly narrowed deep eyes sparkling with a light brighter than her gemstone earrings, as if she were gazing at something in a daze.

She pulled out more photos to examine closely, trying to deduce the woman's past from them.

The hidden door moved again.

The high heels clicked loudly.

It's another woman.

Qi Shuihan raised her eyes slightly and then lowered them again.

"Dr. Ji, thank you for the novel in your bag. It helped me pass the time during my punishment."

Ji Fenglan wore a sleeveless V-neck top and an elegant gray pencil skirt today.

She leaned slightly forward as she sat at the table, a simple cross necklace swaying a few times before settling quietly against her delicate chest.

"You're welcome."

There's nothing to thank me for; I just picked it up from the clinic to use as a medicine bag. As for the novel, it belongs to the owner of the bag.

"Here, take this." He tapped the file on the table with his fingers.

Qi Shuihan glanced at it and saw that it was another task document.

What kind of mission is it?

“You know this person. I need you to bring her here.”

Qi Shuihan became interested and swept aside the mess of papers and photos in her hand.

Walking to the table, I casually flipped through the pages and happened to find a photo of my target. It was a young, ordinary woman with a familiar baby-faced complexion that was pale yet yellowish; you could tell at a glance that she was a homebody who rarely went out in the sun.

Li Nai.

Hmph, how interesting.
