Learning from her previous experience, Wang Feifei took several steps back, maintaining a safe distance at all times.
Her palms were sweaty as she stared intently at Chen Nian's movements...
Chen Nian was once a ray of light in her survival in the apocalypse, and she could never bring herself to kill him.
Wang Feifei kept backing away until her heels touched the wall. She knew she had nowhere left to retreat and had to make a choice.
She reacted quickly, lowering the arrow and firing two arrows in quick succession, each hitting one of Chen Nian's thighs.
Due to the close range and the recent combat experience, the two arrows exerted the crossbow's maximum impact force, almost piercing Chen Nian's thigh.
Chen Nian collapsed instantly, his face turning deathly pale with pain...
Wang Feifei walked past him and ran to look at Xiao Gao.
Fortunately, he was only unconscious, not dead.
She patted Xiao Gao hard: "Wake up, Xiao Gao!"
Xiao Gao opened his eyes groggily. When he saw Wang Feifei, he initially thought he was dreaming. How could she be in front of him? Where was he?
However, when he caught sight of Chen Nian not far away, he remembered being attacked by Chen Nian earlier and hurriedly asked Wang Feifei:
"This kid tricked you into coming here?"
"Yes, he lied to me and said Xu Neng was in danger, so I rushed here. Is Xu Neng alright?"
"Damn it, it must have taken you a long time to get here. I must have been unconscious for a long time. I wonder how things are going with President Xu."
"Shall we go find Xu Neng?"
"No, if he finds out you were tricked into coming here and risking your life, he'll definitely kill that brat Chen Nian!"
Xiao Gao glanced at Chen Nian with disgust. Chen Nian had been hit by three arrows and was lying on the ground, unable to move, only able to wail in pain.
It's fortunate that Ms. Wang was able to resolve the problem on her own; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Miss Wang, what should we do with that boy?"
Wang Feifei thought about how Xiao Gao had almost died at Chen Nian's hands, and she couldn't bring herself to let Chen Nian go, but she hadn't decided what to do with him either.
Since I can't make up my mind, I'll just leave it for now...
Wang Feifei just wanted to confirm Xu Neng's safety as soon as possible, since his phone was still switched off.
"Never mind him for now. Xiao Gao, why is Xu Neng's phone off? Can you get in touch with him?"
"Is it switched off?" Xiao Gao tried making a few calls, and it was indeed switched off.
Having been unconscious for so long, he began to worry about President Xu, wondering how he was doing.
Xiao Gao glanced at Wang Feifei twice, feeling a bit conflicted: on the one hand, he was worried about Xu Neng's safety, and on the other hand, he couldn't leave Miss Wang in such a dangerous place.
What should we do?
Seeing Xiao Gao hesitate, Wang Feifei reassured him, "Don't worry, I won't hold you back. Look, I just saved you."
This reminded Xiao Gao that he had almost died at Chen Nian's hands.
He walked up to Chen Nian with a cold face. Chen Nian thought he was going to kill him, so he used his elbows to push himself up and crawled forward. Xiao Gao didn't care about anything else and hit him directly with a club.
"Look at you, trying to ambush me! Huh? Ambush me!"
Still not satisfied after beating Xiao Gao, he pulled out the bottle of medicine from Chen Nian's pocket and poured it directly near Xiao Gao's nostrils:
"You should experience this too, and then get a good long sleep!"
Wang Feifei opened her almond-shaped eyes wide. Xiao Gao was really ruthless. After this series of actions, she wondered when Chen Nian would wake up.
Xiao Gao chuckled at her and said, "It's best if he doesn't hear what we're saying. That kid's got a lot on his mind. It'll be easier to knock him out."
"Then let's go find Xu Neng!" Wang Feifei said, dragging Xiao Gao along. "Do you know where he is?"
Xiao Gao quickly broke free: "Oh, my dear aunt, if Mr. Xu finds out I brought you there, he'll kill me! Please don't make things difficult for me!"
"But his phone is off. What if he really encounters danger? Are you really going to stay here with me without worry? Hurry! Hurry! Don't hesitate any longer. If we delay any longer, something bad might really happen."
Xiao Gao thought about it carefully: President Xu has never turned off his phone when he goes on missions before. Could something really have happened to him?
"Given the current situation, escorting Miss Wang back and abandoning President Xu is clearly not an option; nor is leaving Miss Wang behind and going over there to help myself."
This is truly a dilemma...
Xiao Gao glanced at Chen Nian. Although the three arrows stuck in his body did not hit any vital organs, it was clear that Miss Wang had deliberately avoided fatal blows.
Judging from her success rate, Ms. Wang has indeed improved a lot since our last meeting. Now that she seems to have no other choice, she might as well take a gamble:
"I'll take you there, but you absolutely cannot act on your own. You must follow my instructions completely, can you do that?"
Xiao Gao finally agreed, and Wang Feifei was even more eager to set off: "Okay, I'll follow quietly behind you and won't cause you any trouble."
"No, you can't afford to have any mishaps. If you encounter any danger or cause any trouble, you must tell me. You must come to Mr. Xu safe and sound."
Xiao Gao glanced at the crossbow in Wang Feifei's hand and said with some worry, "Don't be soft-hearted anymore. The other side could kill us at any time. If we can't bring ourselves to do it when we're in danger, we'll be the ones who die."
"Okay, I've got it."
Xiao Gao shook his head helplessly and led Wang Feifei into Zone 1.
It was already daylight when Xiao Gao realized that the terrain here was more complicated than he had imagined. Last time he came at night and did not go inside to explore.
Although this is my second time visiting a steel plant, it's my first time actually going inside.
This place is somewhat like the factory's auditorium or assembly hall. Because it is well-sealed and insulated, and is connected to the boiler, it has been converted into residences.
