Chapter 36
Baichuan looked at Zhu Liang for a moment, and felt that his temperament was different from the other four people tied up. He looked him up and down, and it seemed that he was a face he had never seen before.
"Nothing, just keep asking." Bai Chuan put down his hand and took a step back, leaning against the conference table and looking lazily at the five people on the ground, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.
Tang Mary was used to Bai Chuan's sudden outbursts, so she quickly continued her questioning, "Have you seen my son Peter and daughter Vera in the apocalypse?"
Peter?
Zhu Liang's eyes flickered as he considered whether to answer. The other four reacted faster than him, unable to stop even with cloth stuffed in their mouths: "Mmmmm!! Mmmmm!!"
Tang Mary walked up to the Blood and Bone member who had the biggest reaction and pulled the cloth from his mouth. "You know?"
"I know, I know!" The man nodded repeatedly, panting. "Peter has appeared in West District 2 before, following Lou Tiannan's team from the Federal Military Security Bureau."
"What about Vera?" Tang Mary asked immediately.
"Vera she--" The man answered a little late, as if he was recalling something, but when he looked up again, the vines on his body had been completely broken off at some point, and a sharp light in his hand attacked Tang Mary at lightning speed.
In an instant, the situation reversed.
He held a knife to Tang Mali's neck, and the man said viciously to Bai Chuan and the others: "Let us out! Otherwise I will kill her!"
A dark light flashed in Baichuan's dark green eyes.
Just when the situation was tense, someone walked in quickly from outside. Seeing this scene, he paused. Bai Chuan glanced at him and asked, "What's going on?"
The person who came in to report continued, "Boss Bai, Boss Tang, Elena Heber requests to meet with you."
"Elena Heber? Why is she here?" The person who spoke was Tang Mary, who had a knife pointed at her neck and looked puzzled.
"Shut up!" The Blood and Bone member felt deeply insulted when he was ignored. His hands were shaking with anger. "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? Let us go!"
"What are you listening to?! Do you think I have any kung fu?" Tang Mali had no patience and raised her leg to kick. She didn't see any strength being used, but the person who had just held her hostage was kicked directly against the wall three meters behind her and slid to the ground.
Tang Mali smoothed her slightly messy hair and said to Bai Chuan, "Go over and see what's going on. I haven't finished asking questions here."
Baichuan shrugged nonchalantly and turned to walk out the door.
Zhu Liang knew why Elena came, and then he was slapped and his shoulder was stepped on again.
Tang Mary's voice rang out from above: "You've seen what happened to your accomplices. From now on, I'll ask you questions and you'll have to answer them. If you dare to have any more tricks, you won't have a chance to speak again. Do you understand?!"
…
Elena went alone. Zhou Yu, Song Yan and others wanted to go with her, but Elena refused.
Zhou Yu watched Elena's back disappear into Guangming Building, and asked in confusion, "Why didn't Elena let us go with her? More people means more strength."
Lin Bai glanced at him and said calmly, "If she can make the deal, then she can make it happen alone. If she can't, then having two more people with her will just mean she's going to be sent away!"
Elena had an intercom on her ear. When she heard Lin Bai's words, she paused slightly and her mind unconsciously recalled something that happened a long time ago.
"Elena, don't save me. Kill the criminals first. They have bombs. If they really want to kill me, I won't survive no matter how many people you send in. Why send your men in for nothing?"
The strange emotion in Elena's heart flashed through her mind before she could grasp it. She quickly suppressed her emotions and followed the people from Hongsha into the building with a normal expression.
None of those people could get close to Elena, so Elena was not taken deeper into the building. She was only taken to the lobby on the first floor of the building. After waiting for a few minutes, she saw a green-haired man in a white suit coming out of the elevator.
The person who showed up was not the head of Tang Corporation, but Shirakawa, the chairman of M Group.
Elena's eyes flashed with understanding, "I was wondering where Tang's got so much firepower. It turns out that Mr. Baichuan and Tang's are working together."
M Group is involved in a wide range of industries, including the black market trade that the Security Bureau has always wanted to investigate but has been unable to find evidence.
Bai Chuan showed a perfect smile and spread his hands. "It's the end of the world, and everyone is trying to survive. I heard that Captain Elena has betrayed the Federation. I wonder what her purpose is this time?"
"One of my men was kidnapped by your men. I hope he is still alive."
Bai Chuan's eyelids slightly raised, his cold face showing complete astonishment as if he knew nothing. "What? Did we kidnap someone? Is that true?"
This expression was very familiar to Elena. Before the apocalypse, she had gone to M Group to investigate several times, and Bai Chuan had always dealt with her in this way. Bai Chuan seemed completely unaware of what was going on. He even turned his head to ask the people around him, and someone behind him replied at the right time, "I haven't heard of anyone being kidnapped."
Bai Chuan showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Captain Elena may have recognized the wrong person. Perhaps your people are tied up by blood bones."
"How can this person lie with his eyes open!!!" Lu Jia, who heard the conversation between Elena and Bai Chuan next to Guangming Building, was furious. "I clearly saw them drive in with my own eyes! And now he's playing dumb!"
In the lobby of Guangming Building, Baichuan was still suggesting: "Captain Elena, quickly have your people go to the Blood and Bone Institute to ask. If you go too late, there might not even be any bones left." The ending tone was filled with obvious gloating.
Just as Baichuan finished speaking, something heavy fell to the ground next to the French window.
The man who fell from the building had two red wavy lines clearly marked on his arm. He must be a person with special abilities, as he was not hurt at all after falling from such a height.
After landing, he flipped over flexibly, and supernatural powers emerged from his palms, breaking the floor-to-ceiling window. At the same time, he protected his head and jumped into the hall, probably trying to escape from here.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hall, he ran into Baichuan, Elena and others, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
The bodyguards behind Baichuan immediately stepped forward to subdue the Blood and Bone members.
But that Blood and Bone member had gone crazy for some reason, probably determined to fight to the death. His entire body erupted in supernatural energy, and he charged straight at Baichuan covered in high-temperature metal.
Baichuan and Elena's expressions changed at the same time. Everyone could see that this person wanted to self-destruct.
Elena took two steps back and found a safe corner. "Mr. Baichuan, didn't you say you never kidnapped anyone? Then who is this?"
Bai Chuan supported himself on the table and was about to cross over when he paused. There was a row of ice spikes under the table. Bai Chuan simply sat on the table. "Captain Elena, are you threatening me?"
Elena's supernatural power was gathering in her hand, and she replied after hearing this: "Yes, where is the person you kidnapped?"
Bai Chuan watched the bloody madman getting closer and closer and chuckled, "I don't know."
He pulled out a pistol from his jacket, aimed at the Blood and Bone thugs, and fired without hesitation. With a bang, the bullet went astray. Bai Chuan looked at Elena, who had just attacked, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Elena betrayed the Federation and cooperated with Blood and Bone?"
It's no wonder Baichuan asked this question. Elena actually helped the people from Xuegu at this juncture.
As soon as Baichuan finished speaking, he saw the blood-bone thug suddenly pounce on him. Just as the thug was getting closer and closer to Baichuan, his body seemed to finally be unable to withstand the huge energy consumption and exploded.
A huge explosion sounded in the hall.
The explosion seemed like some kind of signal. Lou Tiannan and others outside saw a convoy surrounding the entrance of Guangming Building. Then countless people wearing helmets and protective gear got out of the cars and rushed into Guangming Building with guns.
Lou Tiannan immediately understood that this was a plan that Xuegu had already made. He said into the intercom, "Elena, back out! Xuegu's people have gone in."
"I can't get out." Elena's voice appeared on the intercom. "Someone in Xuegu blew himself up and collapsed the lobby. Bai Chuan is missing. The building is in chaos now. I'll find a chance to go upstairs and find Zhu Liang. You need to find a few people to come in, preferably you."
Lou Tiannan said without hesitation: "I will bring people in to pick you up now."
Various explosions kept ringing on Elena's channel.
Xue Gu had indeed been prepared to attack Guangming Building today. They were fully prepared and had all the ammunition. From outside, they soon saw the sound of explosions spreading from the second floor, the third floor... layer by layer.
"Xia Xia, Lin Bai, Xi Ya, the three of you stay here and keep an eye on the situation outside. Zhou Yu, Song Yan, Lu Jia, we're going in."
After hastily making arrangements, Lou Tiannan led his team, wearing masks and following the people from Xue Gu, rushed into Guangming Building.
When the Blood and Bone member jumped down, Tang Mary didn't care too much. She had her people downstairs, and he couldn't run far even if he jumped down.
But just as she was about to ask Zhu Liang a question, an unusual explosion sounded from downstairs, causing her to frown. She picked up the intercom and asked, "What's going on?"
"Boss Tang, the Blood and Bone people are breaking in."
"That bunch of bastards! How dare you come!" Tang Mali was about to go downstairs with the intercom in her hand. Before leaving, she seemed to remember something, waved her hand and threw several rows of steel pieces at the Blood and Bone members in the room, then hurried downstairs.
Zhu Liang rolled on the ground and dodged behind three members of the Blood and Bone Group, allowing them to block most of the steel pieces for him, but one piece still pierced his leg.
The other three members of the Blood and Bone Group did not react as quickly as he did, and were pierced by the oncoming steel needles and died on the spot.
He endured the pain in his calf, used the steel sheets on the ground to untie the thorns on his body, simply bandaged his leg, and then carefully turned over and jumped into the ventilation duct in the house.
The gunfight quickly spread to every floor.
Xue Gu came prepared this time, using human wave tactics to attack Guangming Building floor by floor.
As soon as Lou Tiannan and his men entered the building, they split into two groups, one to meet up with Elena while the other to look for Zhu Liang.
Xue Gu had sufficient firepower, but Bai Chuan and Tang Mali, who reacted quickly, were no less powerful.
He led his men to throw grenades directly into the crowd of bloody bones, knocking down a large number of them.
"You bastards, if I don't kill you today, my name will be written upside down!" Tang Mali swept across the row with a submachine gun in her hand. There were many Hongsha's followers in Guangming Building. They followed Tang Mali with guns in their hands and suppressed them.
With the help of powerful firepower, the blood and bone people were pushed down layer by layer from more than ten floors.
Bai Chuan saw Tang Mary on the fourth floor. He walked over and asked, "Where are the remaining people upstairs?"
Tang Mali said indifferently: "I can't get anything out of him. He was killed before going downstairs. What happened? Where is Elena? Why did the people from Blood and Bone come when she came?"
"She has formed an alliance with Blood and Bone." Bai Chuan said, "Among the Blood and Bone people we just captured, there are some of hers."
Tang Mary frowned: "Elena is cooperating with Xue Gu?" She had just heard the news when she looked up and saw a woman moving through the corridor at an unusual speed. She recognized that person as Elena at a glance!
"Leave her here!" Baichuan and Tang Mary said the same thing, and they both quickly ran towards Elena.
…
Outside the building, Wen Xia Xia, who was concentrating on listening to the news inside the building, turned around and found that Lin Bai was gone.
