Chapter 41 Run!
Lu Nange put all the weapons into her system inventory.
To avoid attracting attention, the group carried knives, guns, and clubs, pretending to have found nothing as they left the armory.
The office windows on both sides of the corridor were all shattered. When they came in, they were drawn to the door of the armory at the end and had no time to pay attention to the offices next to it.
Now that it's out, we can search it carefully.
Lu Xici rummaged through the office drawer closest to the armory and found several walkie-talkies, which were quite useful to them!
This thing is much better than their current primitive communication method of "overtaking, sudden braking, and hazard lights".
The group walked happily toward the gate.
“We finally have a means of communication, so we don’t have to play with Morse code anymore.” He Zhuo froze on the walkie-talkie before he could finish speaking.
Outside the glass door, Ji Xian was forced to kneel in a pool of blood by two men, while Chi Yi's temple was dented from being pressed by a gun barrel.
Seventeen or eighteen men armed with weapons surrounded them; both men had injuries on their faces.
It turned out that when Lu Nange and her group locked the glass door and went inside, besides the group of people staring at them and gagging, there was another group of people diagonally opposite them.
As soon as Lu Nange and her group disappeared, the group immediately sprang into action—at least twenty people rushed down.
They swung iron bars and machetes, smashing them wildly at the RV and off-road vehicle.
The RV's glass cracked instantly, revealing spiderweb-like patterns.
Chi Yi reacted extremely quickly, breaking the attacker's wrist with an elbow strike.
Ji Xian's military dagger plunged deep into someone's thigh.
But the next second, the thugs swarmed forward, pressed guns against their heads, and the two were instantly pinned to the ground.
"Search the car!" the scarred man at the head of the group shouted.
The rioters violently kicked open the car doors, ransacked the place, and tore open every storage compartment, only to find a few compressed biscuits and a few bottles of mineral water.
"Damn it! Brother Bing, there's nothing here!" A skinny man kicked the seat while cursing.
The man called Bing Ge had a hideous scar running across his brow—his eyes swept across the vehicles with a sinister gaze.
He then sneered, "Then take those two women back!"
The rioters erupted in cheers; some whistled, others banged on the car doors with the backs of their knives.
The metallic clanging sound was particularly jarring in the silent driveway.
The men on the perimeter quickly dealt with the zombies attracted by the noise.
The dull thud of the blade plunging into the rotting skull mingled with the sound of sticky liquid dripping.
Bing Ge raised his palm and slowly pressed it down, his voice icy: "Be quiet."
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Come on, let's go to the door to 'welcome' our new friend."
...
Outside the door, "Clang—"
Bing Ge's wind blade tore through the air first, slicing spiderweb-like cracks in the glass door.
Inside the door, Chi Yanzhou shoved the walkie-talkie into Lu Nange's palm.
“We don’t know how many superhumans they have. If things look bad, you should leave first.” His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his voice was extremely low: “We’ll follow.”
Lu Nange gripped the walkie-talkie tightly and grunted an "Mm".
Lu Xici gently patted her younger siblings' heads: "Take good care of yourselves."
The moment the glass door opened, lightning was already gathering at Chi Yanzhou's fingertips.
The four of them shielded Lu Nange and the other two behind them.
"Let me go! Fuck you—!" Ji Xian struggled violently, but the person behind him held his shoulders down tightly, and his knees slammed heavily onto the concrete ground.
The man pressing him down grinned maliciously, then raised his leg and kicked him hard in the back, producing a dull thud that made your teeth ache.
"Ji Xian!" He Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot as he rushed forward, but Chi Yanzhou grabbed his shoulder.
Gu Qi quickly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Don't be impulsive!"
Bing Ge spread his arms wide, putting on a hypocritical and friendly gesture: "Don't rush, can't we talk things out properly?"
We're not bad people; we can release these two young men anytime.
"But first, let's talk about what you found inside." His gaze swept over the group, like a viper spitting its tongue.
He Zhuo's chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth and said, "Pah! Let go of my brother!"
Bing Ge sneered and clapped his hands lightly.
The next second, a gust of wind swept by—Chi Yi and Ji Xian both let out a painful groan at the same time.
"Sister, wind-based superpowers!"
Lu Nange lightly tapped Lu Beiye's hand to indicate that she understood.
Chi Yanzhou's eyes were icy as he slowly raised them: "What do you want?"
Bing Ge tilted his head, the scar between his eyebrows twisting like a centipede: "Judging from your empty hands, you probably didn't get anything good."
He licked his chapped lips, his voice hoarse: "Our rule is simple—once you come out, you can't leave empty-handed."
He paused, his gaze sweeping lewdly over Lu Nange and Gu Wan, and sneered, "If we have no supplies, we'll use women as payment."
The thugs burst into laughter, and their weapons were all aimed at the group of men, the blades and muzzles gleaming coldly in the dim light.
"Ah Ye!" Lu Nange grabbed her younger brother's wrist as he suddenly jumped up, forcibly pressing the golden superpower surging in the little guy's eyes back into the depths of his pupils.
The lightning in Chi Yanzhou's palm suddenly surged, and the purple and white lightning snakes tore tiny cracks in the air.
Just as he was about to rush out, Lu Nange called out, "Brother Yan!"
Chi Yanzhou paused subtly for a moment.
The team members immediately moved towards Chi Yanzhou.
"Chi Yanzhou, the leader of the Wind faction is yours." Lu Nange spoke quickly: "Brother and Brother Qi will rescue Chi Yi and the others, the gunmen are me and A Ye."
She pushed Gu Wan back to a safe distance: "Wanwan, step back behind the glass door!"
Bing Ge's sinister laughter rang out: "Still hesitating? Two women for a whole group of you, what a deal—"
The moment Chi Yanzhou turned his head, he met Lu Nange's eyes.
Without further explanation, the girl simply uttered three words: "I can."
"boom--!"
Chi Yanzhou's lightning bolts shot directly at Bing Ge.
Lu Beiye's eyes shone brightly with golden light, and all the metal parts in the parking lot emitted a trembling hum.
Before the gunman could react, the golden dart shot straight at their foreheads.
Knowing that Lu Beiye could handle it, Lu Nange and Lu Xici drew their Tang swords simultaneously, forming a perfect cross-attack.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Brother Bing convulsing violently amidst the lightning, the smell of burnt meat mixed with blue smoke filling the air.
"laugh--"
The burning sensation of the bullet grazing her ear caused Lu Nange's pupils to shrink sharply.
The moment the pebbles flew up, Lu Beiye's roar pierced the air: "Sister!"
Lu Beiye clasped his hands together, his eyes sweeping fiercely across the building: "I'll kill you!"
The building's steel frame structure suddenly twisted and deformed.
Before the sniper hiding on the third floor could even scream, a twisted steel bar shot up, piercing through his jaw and exiting through his skull, pinning him to the concrete wall with splattered brain matter.
Lu Beiye suddenly staggered, his chubby little face drained of color, and his lips turned white.
"Ano!"
The moment Lu Nange darted out, Lu Beiye staggered forward and fell to the ground.
She slammed her right knee into the ground, braced herself with her left hand, and swept her right leg across the ground, catching Lu Beiye's falling body with her thigh just as his forehead was about to hit the ground.
The impact made her shinbone go numb, but the weight in her arms made her breathe a sigh of relief—she caught it.
The gunshots were like stirring up a hornet's nest; all the zombies on the street looked up at the same time.
Rotting vocal cords forced out screams, and hundreds of walking corpses poured out from the alleyway, shops, and abandoned vehicles.
"Nan Nan, run!" Gu Wan's scream shattered the chaos.
