Chapter 31
"Elena!" Zhou Yu was a little excited when he saw the person coming. To Xue Gu who wanted to kill them, Elena was undoubtedly a savior at this time.
One family is happy, the other is sad.
Chang Qi suppressed his fear and raised his chin slightly. "Elena, I heard you've already left the dark side and established your own safe zone. These people's affairs have nothing to do with you. As long as you don't interfere, we, the Blood and Bones, will never touch your East Second District."
Hearing what Chang Qi said, Zhu Liang, Zhou Yu and others were stunned. They almost forgot that Elena had betrayed the Federation.
The atmosphere froze for a second.
"Pfft." Elena smiled, her expression softening. Her brown eyes squinted at Chang Qi. "I've established my own safe zone, but that doesn't mean I have to go along with you rats, right?"
When she said the last three words, the ending tone of her voice rose, as if wrapped in sharp frost and coldness. As soon as the voice fell, she waved her hand, and a row of ice spikes attacked the blood bones.
Chang Qi and Chang Ping's faces changed and they quickly flew back. The other members of the Blood and Bone Group were not so lucky. Those who were hit by the ice spikes were killed on the spot.
"Chapter VII, Article 39 of the Federal Code: Fugitives from a felony shall be sentenced to death." Elena's words were gentle, but the supernatural power she unleashed was merciless. "The fourteen of you are already on the death row."
Chang Qi didn't expect that even after Elena rebelled against the Federation, she would still bring up old scores. Her ability level was obviously very high, and the two brothers had to work together to barely deal with it.
Not to mention Zhou Yu and Lu Jia who were standing by also came forward to help.
Seeing that he could not win, Chang Ping pulled Chang Qi and quickly jumped into the sea beside him to buffer the attack from supernatural powers. The remaining members of Blood and Bone followed suit and also jumped into the sea, but they were not so lucky. The ice spikes still injured several people.
Dark blood stains the sea water.
Seeing the Blood Bone members fleeing like rats crossing the street, Elena didn't chase them anymore.
She turned around and looked at the people beside her, "Why are you here? Where is your captain Lou Tiannan?"
The danger was over. Zhu Liang and the others looked at Elena with complicated eyes. Zhou Yuxian asked, "Captain Elena, they said you betrayed the Federation. Do you have any difficulties?"
"Now doesn't seem to be the time to talk about me." Elena reminded and asked again, "Where is Lou Tiannan?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Zhu Liang chose to confess. He said to Elena: "We had a battle with Xuegu in Tongtian Port two days ago. Captain Lou fell into the sea. We are looking for him."
Elena's eyes swept over several people and landed on Xiya, "Who is this girl?"
"She's the daughter of a survivor."
"Where is the survivor?" Elena quickly grasped the key words.
"Her mother fell into the sea with Captain Lou."
"Who is her mother?" Elena asked gently, with an imperceptible sharpness flashing in her eyes. They were wearing combat uniforms, and the little girl was also wearing combat uniforms. Her mother must have something special to be able to follow their team.
Several people looked at each other. They felt that Elena's betrayal of the Federation was something they couldn't tell anyone about.
But even if they didn't say it, Elena guessed their expressions, and combined with the few words just now, she had a rough guess in her mind -
"Tongtian Port... Past Tongtian Port is the border area between Central and South China. Apart from the Blood Bone Base that Xiang Cheng asked you to attack, the next step is East District 1. Two months ago, your military defense team 1 was completely wiped out in East District 1. At that time, I received news that they were carrying out a mission for the 621 Biomedical Research Institute. With team 1 gone, it's your turn as team 3 to take over, right? Then your target is most likely the 621 Biomedical Research Institute. It's a dangerous place..."
Elena paused and said slowly, "You are on a mission to the 621 Biomedical Research Institute, but you brought a mother and daughter with you... So, this girl's mother, or rather, this mother and daughter... are related to the 621 Biomedical Research Institute?"
Even though they had witnessed Elena's abilities, they couldn't help but be shocked. She had actually been so accurate. Their mission was simply to reclaim the lost territory in East District 1, but after hearing Elena's words, the others, with the exception of Zhu Liang, realized that their final destination might actually be the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute.
There was no need to look at other people's expressions. Elena knew Zhu Liang. When she saw his expression, she knew she guessed right.
"Lou Tiannan is in East District 2?"
Zhu Liang remained silent.
"You don't have to be like this. Although I've betrayed the Federation, as long as you and I don't have a conflict of interest, I won't harm you. In fact, for the sake of our former teammates, I might even be able to help you." She looked at Zhu Liang calmly, "Deputy Captain Zhu, there's no need for me to lie to you, right?"
Not only does Elena have an ugly face, but her voice also carries an inexplicable sincerity, and every word she says makes people believe it involuntarily.
What's more, it was just as Elena said. If she wanted to hurt them, she could have done it now, and she would not have saved them from Xue Gu's hands.
Zhu Liang weighed the pros and cons and decided to explain to Elena.
"We're not sure if Team Lou is here. We followed the direction of the dagger."
"Dagger?" Elena asked curiously.
Zhu Liang took out Xiya's small dagger. When Elena saw the dagger clearly, her eyes paused slightly.
He put the dagger on the ground, and saw the tip of the dagger swaying and pointing to a certain location.
"It's amazing! Where did this dagger come from?" Elena asked with interest.
"I did it." Zhou Yu interrupted, the less Elena knew about the survivors, the better.
Elena seemed to believe it and nodded, saying, "Let's take care of your injuries first. Then, I'll go look for him with you. Maybe after we find your captain, I can discuss a possible cooperation with him."
…
"When we were being chased by Blood Bones, Captain Elena appeared and helped us, and then we were able to find this place. Otherwise, we would have almost lost our lives." Zhou Yu said bitterly.
"Captain Elena, she is such a good person." Lin Bai commented after hearing this.
"Thank you for the compliment." A gentle female voice sounded from behind the crowd. Lin Bai paused, and then saw Elena who had been blocked by everyone behind him.
The two of them stared at each other from a distance of three or two people, and no one spoke again.
Wen Xiaxia, who had put on the isolation patch, had already stepped forward to give Lou Tiannan a shot of suppressant. She said, "Captain Lou isn't in good condition. There are a lot of zombies around here. We should get out of here quickly."
Elena glanced at Lin Bai and said to everyone, "Follow me."
On the way back, Zhu Liang was talking to Lin Bai, wanting to know what had happened to them in the past few days and why the team's susceptible period had arrived early.
Zhou Yu thought that given Lin Bai's personality, he would probably say something like "I don't know, don't bother me."
Who knew Lin Bai would be so patient and detailed, telling the story one sentence at a time, from the time they fell into the sea and were swept away by the undertow, to the time Lou Tiannan was injured and temporarily hid in the ruins, his susceptible period suddenly coming and without any inhibitors, Lou Tiannan took the initiative to restrain himself...
While she was talking, she even hugged Xiya. Xiya ate candy with her little face buried in Lin Bai's neck. It was a picture of a happy mother and daughter.
Zhou Yu was surprised. How come Lin Bai seemed like a different person after just four or five days of not seeing him?
Not only did he think so, Song Yan and Lu Jia, who had been confronted by Lin Bai several times, also felt that Lin Bai was different. What made her change so much?
Elena took them into the safe zone in the East Second District. The situation here was similar to that in the New City safe zone. Ordinary people and those with special abilities had their own safe residences. If it were not for Elena's betrayal, this safe zone would seem to be a safe zone belonging to the Federation.
Lou Tiannan was arranged into the room, and Wen Xiaxia was giving him a physical examination.
Song Yan and others were waiting outside the door.
Elena glanced at Lin Bai who was holding Xiya, and greeted her gently: "Hello, my name is Elena, what's your name?"
"My name is Lin Bai." Lin Bai answered obediently.
"Lin Bai." Elena slowly repeated the name on the tip of her tongue and searched the list of criminals in her mind, but Lin Bai's face was not among them.
The first time she saw Lin Bai, she felt that she looked familiar. She had few friends, and apart from those friends, the only people she was familiar with were criminals.
"Are you a permanent resident of the West District?" Elena chatted with her casually.
"Yes, West District 7." Lin Bai replied.
Before the end of the world, the West District was not under Elena's jurisdiction, and except for some necessary arrest missions, she rarely went to the West District.
"I heard from Deputy Captain Zhu and the others that you have family members working at the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute, right?" Zhu Liang and the others didn't say anything at all, so Elena guessed it herself.
"Yes, I want to find her." Lin Bai nodded.
Just as Elena and Lin Bai were chatting, Lou Tiannan, who had taken an inhibitor, woke up. When he heard Wen Xia Xia say that Elena and Lin Bai were talking outside, he pulled out the sensor and got up from the bed without thinking any more.
Elena rebelled against the Federation, and it would be very dangerous for Lin Bai to be with her.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard Elena's voice -
"I have some very unfortunate news. According to the feedback we received three months ago, the 621 Biopharmaceutical Research Institute has been...infected by zombies."
Elena's gentle voice was filled with empathy, sorrow, and apology.
Lou Tiannan stopped at the door, and his angle was just right to see the expression on Lin Bai's face.
When she heard the news, her eyes widened slightly, then she blinked twice quickly, lowered her head, and said, "No, it's okay..."
Lin Bai paused for a long time before he remembered something and said, "Thank you for telling me the news."
She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice. Only her exposed jaw and half of her face were enough to make people feel her sadness.
This was the Lin Bai that Lou Tiannan had never seen before.
She was very sad. For her partner. Lou Tiannan pursed his lips.
Elena seemed to be comforting Lin Bai, but in fact, she had already carefully analyzed Lin Bai's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
There was no flaw, her reaction now was very real.
But Elena's intuition told her that this was not right.
"What's your partner's name? Maybe I know him. I have some relics of researchers here, maybe one of them is your partner's." Elena asked tentatively.
When Lin Bai heard about the relic, she raised her head sharply, but quickly lowered it with restraint. She shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Just like the 621 Biopharmaceutical Research Institute strives to keep the information of our researchers' families confidential, I must also keep her information confidential from everyone."
That's a valid point. It should be so.
Elena narrowed her eyes and looked at the ordinary-looking female Beta in front of her, unable to understand what was wrong.
