Chapter 290 Arriving at the Battlefield
Han Shuo and the other two nodded to each other, and then felt a surge of excitement in their hearts. They got up, picked up their weapons, and prepared to go out.
At this moment, Li Shurou also stood up from where she was, her eyes revealing determination, and spoke.
"I'll go with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man hurriedly retorted.
"Where are you going? Do you really think the three of us are going to our deaths? If we really can't beat them, we'll retreat in time."
Han Shuo smiled and offered a word of comfort.
"Yes, Shurou, you stay here with Uncle Hai. The three of us will join the battle outside, but we'll only be providing long-range fire support."
“The three of us are genetically engineered humans, so we can evacuate in time if there are any emergencies. If you go, it will distract us.”
After he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao chimed in with a comment.
"That's right, Sister Shurou. Brother Han and Brother Pang are right. This war will never be decided directly outside. After all, the underground is our advantage."
Seeing that none of the three wanted her to come along, Li Shurou remained silent for a moment and said nothing more.
Indeed, she is just a woman who has not even completed one genetic modification yet. If she encounters any unexpected situations, it will be difficult for her to protect herself, and she will really implicate everyone.
She was extremely worried, but knew that not following them was the best choice at that moment.
"Then you must not force yourselves, do not act impulsively, and if you cannot withstand the resistance, you must retreat!"
"We are family, and if we are to die, we will die together."
Han Shuo and the other two easily understood the meaning behind Li Shurou's words.
After this brief separation, she longed to see the three of them again.
Han Shuo nodded solemnly to Li Shurou and Chen Hai with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, wait for us here, we will definitely come back."
Chen Hai was already in tears; he had experienced this kind of parting scene many times before.
However, this time, he no longer felt worried, but rather a vague sense of unease.
Nevertheless, Chen Hai knew he couldn't offer any advice, and could only silently wish the three of them a safe return.
After all, these young people in front of him were the only ones who had been kind to him in this apocalypse...
Chen Hai truly, truly... regarded Han Shuo and the others as his own children.
"Children, you, you must come back safely."
"Uncle Hai, don't worry, we're leaving now."
"Let's go!"
"They're gone..."
After saying this, the three of them wasted no more time and resolutely turned around and walked out of their residence.
Watching Han Shuo and the other two leave, Chen Hai finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
A middle-aged man in his fifties was crying like a child at this moment.
Some say that men at this age should be at their strongest. But who knows the true bitterness in their hearts...?
Chen Hai didn't want to experience the feeling of a parent outliving their child...
Li Shurou looked at Chen Hai, who was squatting on the ground, and felt extremely heartbroken.
Her eyes were also filled with tears, but she held them back from falling.
Because she still has unfinished business.
After comforting Chen Hai, Li Shurou wiped away her tears and returned to her workplace.
She began her research on the purification of turbid liquids once again.
...
After leaving their residence, Han Shuo and the other two did not go outside directly, but instead went to Wai Di's ward first.
At this moment, Wai Di was fast asleep.
Han Shuo reached out and gently rubbed his head, murmuring something softly.
“Brother Wai, you rest here. The Death Legion has arrived, and a great battle is about to break out. If the three of us can come back alive, we will take you home.”
After he finished speaking, he led the fat man and the other man out of the ward.
After the three left, Wai Di suddenly opened his eyes.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a long-awaited expression on his face.
"Master, you've finally arrived..."
Then, his expression changed, and he got up and unplugged the connection cable of the instrument on his body.
And so, he staggered out of the ward.
...
A dozen minutes later, Han Shuo and the other two finally emerged from the passage.
It's around 4 p.m. outside right now.
It was still daylight, and the Legion of Death had not yet arrived, but the passageway was already crowded with people.
Besides the guards, many free men and ordinary survivors also joined the battle.
The total number of people here is currently over ten thousand.
Under the command of Steward Wang, these people formed a well-organized defensive line outside.
This defensive line is circular, tightly surrounding the entrance to the passage from 200 meters away.
Every four or five meters, a mortar was set up, and every ten meters or so, a tank was parked.
Among them were countless rocket launchers, machine guns, countless grenades and ammunition, and so on—a wide variety of weapons, truly all-encompassing.
Just looking at this scene, you can feel its grandeur!
...
The fat man exclaimed in surprise as soon as he came out.
"Holy crap! So many people, wow, and so many tanks too. I've never seen these things in the underground research institute before. Where did they come from?"
"Such an important weapon should naturally be hidden away and saved for a critical moment."
Han Shuo casually replied "fatty" and then ignored him.
He and Xiao Zhao were looking around, searching for Qingyu's location.
"Alright, stop staring at those tanks and hurry up and find Brother Qingyu first."
"Okay, I understand."
Soon, the three spotted Qingyu in the crowd.
Qingyu was quite strong, and although there were many people in military uniforms here, finding him wasn't too difficult.
Han Shuo led the two over quickly, and upon arrival, he patted Qingyu on the shoulder from behind.
At this moment, Qingyu was deploying the combat positions of the people around him when he felt someone tap his shoulder from behind. He instinctively turned around and glanced back.
"You, how come there are three of you! What are you all still here?"
He had assumed that Han Shuo's team had already evacuated the underground research institute this morning, so he was naturally very surprised to see them here.
"Well……"
Han Shuo gave an awkward laugh before continuing.
"It's embarrassing to admit, brother, but we got stuck here for no reason."
Qingyu's eyes widened, and she asked again.
"I remember you said you would lead everyone to evacuate this morning, why haven't you left yet?"
"Cough, cough."
Han Shuo coughed twice and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Brother Qingyu, you're mistaken. It wasn't this morning; I was planning to evacuate tomorrow morning."
After hearing this, Qingyu patted her forehead as if in a headache, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any words of comfort.
Finally, he managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Well... your luck is truly unbelievable."
