Chapter 211 Saving Chen Hai
Gunshots were still ringing out in the distance, but Han Shuo ignored them.
Anyway, it's not like they're attacking him. The guards will shoot the rioters, but they will never indiscriminately kill other innocent civilians.
Their residence was located relatively far inland, and since it was a detached house, there were relatively few people coming and going, so the disputes in the vicinity were not too serious.
The gunshots were mostly concentrated in the areas inhabited by ordinary survivors and free men.
Han Shuo's expression was somewhat solemn, because the cafeteria was in the middle of the area, and he didn't know if Chen Hai was safe at this moment.
The canteen is definitely a place of conflict. Even with a strong guard, it is impossible to deploy troops in a 360-degree, all-around manner.
If anyone manages to find a gap and sneaks in, they will definitely plunder the food in the cafeteria.
The first to face the crisis are the chefs like Chen Hai in the kitchen.
If the chefs don't resist, things might be better, but if they try to stop the rioters from stealing food, these rioters, blinded by desire and selfishness, will definitely do something crazy.
Han Shuo knew Chen Hai's character well; in his mind, this uncle was a rare and kind-hearted person.
Chen Hai would definitely step forward to persuade them, or even to stop those thugs.
If that's the case, the situation is not optimistic.
Good people don't live long, and Han Shuo thought this saying was absolutely true.
In times like these, it is precisely these kinds of people who are most likely to die.
With that thought in mind, Han Shuo quickened his pace again.
Suddenly, a strange thought inexplicably popped into his mind.
"I have a feeling that this riot was deliberately instigated?"
The thought startled him. He slapped his forehead and stopped thinking about it.
Because at this moment, there was no time for him to think deeply about this issue.
Saving lives is the priority, after all, Chen Hai was considered to have a good relationship with them in the underground research institute.
During his own recovery period, Chen Hai gave Han Shuo a lot of extra help.
It was precisely because I ate well and replenished my nutrition quickly at that time that my injuries recovered much earlier.
As the saying goes:
Medicine is not as good as food, and food is not as good as sleep...
Soon, Han Shuo turned a corner and finally saw the entrance to the cafeteria.
Sure enough, a crowd had gathered in front of the gate, and the guards standing in front of the gate kept firing their rifles at the rioters who tried to rush forward.
"We can't get in here!"
Han Shuo glanced at it but didn't linger.
He turned around and went around to the back of the cafeteria, where there was a small back door.
The situation was roughly the same as at the front gate; the back gate was also guarded, and it was also impossible to enter from there.
The team leader was a woman, whom Han Shuo vaguely remembered; the two had met once before.
It's Yu Qing, Qingyu's old flame.
"call--."
Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since both entrances to the cafeteria are heavily guarded, Uncle Hai should be safe inside."
He observed the situation for a while longer. The back door was in much better condition than the front door, and it seemed that the rioters would definitely not be able to break in anytime soon.
Han Shuo decided to go back to Qianmen to take another look.
Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a glass panel on the third floor that had been broken.
Han Shuo's heart suddenly felt heavy.
"Someone took advantage of the chaos to smash a window and climb in!"
With a powerful leap, he landed on the wall-mounted air conditioner unit, then flipped over and prepared to jump to the room on the third floor of the cafeteria.
As soon as Han Shuo moved, Yu Qing, who was guarding the back gate, noticed him.
"Huh? Who's trying to sneak in right under my nose?"
Yu Qing instantly turned her head and raised the gun in her hand.
Just as she was about to shoot, she looked closely and recognized Han Shuo.
"Huh? It's that kid. What's he doing here? I remember Xiao Zhao joined his group not long ago."
“I remember now, Qingyu said that they have a good relationship with an older man who works in the cafeteria.”
"Never mind, they're probably here to rescue someone."
Yu Qing glanced at Han Shuo, who had climbed over the wall, but ultimately did not fire. Instead, she turned around and continued shooting at the thugs in front of her.
The moment Han Shuo jumped onto the wall-mounted unit, he also saw Yu Qing pointing a gun at him.
Yu Qing's action truly startled him.
Han Shuo was filled with unspeakable bitterness:
"Big sister, no, sister-in-law, can't you be a little more careful? For Brother Qingyu's sake, I'm at least one of your own."
"Where's Brother Qingyu? Where is Brother Qingyu? Come over here and take care of your wife!"
"I'm so upset, sister-in-law. I really have something important to do. Can you please stop pointing that gun at me? It's making me nervous."
"Yes, yes, put down the gun, put down the gun... Thank you for sparing my life, sister-in-law. When you two get married, I'll give you a drop of my own fluid..."
"Also, before I arrived, some thugs had already slipped in right under your nose."
"Didn't you see it? Didn't you see it?"
...
With a close call, Han Shuo finally climbed over the wall and into the cafeteria.
He was genuinely worried about Chen Hai's safety, so he quickly went down to the first floor and finally arrived at the kitchen.
The kitchen door was wide open, and loud shouts could be heard coming from inside.
"Damn it, thugs really did sneak in!"
As soon as Han Shuo entered, he saw a chef in a white coat lying in a pool of blood at the entrance.
The chef had been stabbed countless times, yet he still managed to breathe.
He let out a weak cry.
"Help, help... help me."
His eyes were filled with death, and his blood-stained hand slowly rose, reaching forward to grab.
Han Shuo glanced at it expressionlessly, then ran inside without pausing.
He knew that the chef had already lost too much blood and had been seriously injured, and this was just a temporary respite before death.
At this point, the rioters were clearly in a bloodthirsty frenzy, and they would brutally kill anyone who tried to stop them.
The further you go into the kitchen, the more corpses you see on the ground, and all of them are wearing white coats, clearly indicating they are all cooks from the cafeteria.
Han Shuo was in a bad mood, but fortunately, Chen Hai was not among the corpses.
"He should still be alive!"
A few seconds later, Han Shuo lifted the curtain and went to the innermost part of the kitchen.
At first glance, it made him feel much more relaxed.
At this moment, the three chefs, holding kitchen knives, leaned shakily against the corner. The head chef standing at the front was none other than Chen Hai.
Opposite Chen Hai, a thug wielding two knives glared menacingly at Chen Hai and his two companions.
His two swords were stained with bright red blood.
The dual-wielding thug questioned furiously.
"Damn it, where did you hide the food? Take it out right now! If you dare to try to fool me with tattered vegetable leaves again, I'll kill another one!"
He had just finished speaking when he suddenly noticed that the head chef in front of him was looking behind him with a hint of delight in his expression.
"Brother Han Shuo, what brings you here!"
Han Shuo's brief reply brought tears of emotion to Chen Hai's eyes.
"Uncle Hai, I'm coming to save you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo gripped his Tang sword tightly and charged forward...
