Hearing Zhou Yu's voice, Song Yan and others looked at Lin Bai. When they saw her actions clearly, they were all stunned.

Song Yan took a step forward, but before he could say anything, Zhu Liang grabbed his arm.

"Are you using me as a gun?" Lin Bai pointed the muzzle of his gun at Lou Tiannan's forehead. His tone was flat and the atmosphere was tense in silence.

"Unexpected." Lou Tiannan said.

It was indeed an accident. He and Zhu Liang had sensed something was amiss when they were attacked near the remote village. The eavesdropping device found on Zhou Yu further confirmed the existence of a traitor. Based on their usual observations, they roughly guessed who was responsible and planned a play to uncover hidden dangers before entering the safe zone.

However, the traitor was more cautious than they thought.

He didn't take any action during the entire zombie attack until Li Gaoyuan shouted.

Normally, this kind of thing would be resolved with just a little intervention and warning from Zhu Liang or Lou Tiannan. Even Lin Bai was within Lou Tiannan's observation range, but Lou Tiannan wanted to use this opportunity to find out the traitor, so he did not speak out at the first time. Thanks to Lin Bai's two shots, Hu Dingguo was exposed.

However, he underestimated Lin Bai's tolerance.

So much so that now, she had the gun pointed at herself.

Lou Tiannan looked at Lin Bai with a calm expression. His eyes moved slightly, and a vague strange feeling flashed through his heart.

Due to his profession, before the end of the world, he would often and inevitably be pointed at with guns. The thugs would look at him with fear and disgust, or madness and despair. This was the first time that the gun pointed at him was pointed with calm displeasure.

Lin Bai is like a beast that has been warning you with its claws bared. If you don't take it seriously, it will give you a severe lesson unexpectedly.

Who is she? Lou Tiannan looked at Lin Bai's face, which was still covered with makeup, and his doubts began to grow again.

"Lin Bai, this is really an accident. We didn't want to use you, but you also know that group of people like Xue Gu are constantly cleaning themselves up, and it's endless." Zhou Yu helped to explain. He still didn't want Captain Lou and Lin Bai to have a conflict.

However, the next second, he saw Lin Bai pull the trigger, his mouth slightly open, his pupils unconsciously shrinking, his hair about to explode, and he only had time to say: "Hey! Don't--"

"Bang, bang, bang—bang, bang—"

The shell casings fell to the ground with a continuous clanging sound.

Lin Bai and Lou Tiannan stood very close to each other, and bullets were fired at Lou Tiannan's head at high speed.

Space and time seemed to enter an extremely slow, almost stagnant state the moment the bullets popped out of the muzzle. Those deadly metal bullets melted into extremely hot molten iron and dripped onto the ground before they hit Lou Tiannan.

A bullet casing fell on the molten iron and a corner of it was quickly melted away.

The smell of gunpowder from the exploding ammunition filled the air between the two men.

"Bang--"

The magazine is empty.

The surroundings were completely silent. Lin Bai put away his gun and said coldly, "You owe me six bullets."

After the voice fell, Lin Bai turned and left.

Zhou Yu looked at Lin Bai, then at the molten iron still steaming on the ground. He stretched his neck, swallowed, and said in amazement: "Is Lin Bai really a Beta? How come she is more aggressive than an Alpha..." She beat someone up and even asked them to pay for the bullet.

"Isn't she going a bit too far?" Seeing that the captain he respected the most was being treated like this, Lu Jia was dissatisfied and puzzled by Lin Bai's behavior. They also wanted everyone to enter the safe zone safely, so how could she be so ungrateful!

Lou Tiannan didn't say anything. He withdrew his gaze from Lin Bai and ordered in a deep voice: "Pack up and leave within five minutes."

After a fierce battle, the corpses scattered all over the ground were not suitable for staying for long.

There is almost no need to pack up. As long as people get on the bus, the convoy will set off immediately. Every second they stay will increase the danger. No one dares to waste time at this time.

Three cars drove out of the warehouse gate one by one. On the flat ground beside the warehouse, where no one could see them, among the fallen bodies, the blood flowing from Lisa's neck turned from bright red to dark red, and finally to black. After a long, long moment, her slender fingers moved slightly...

In the transport vehicle, Wen Xia Xia and two other medics were bandaging the injured team members nervously and seriously. Five team members were stabbed by blades in the fierce battle and needed to remove the blades as soon as possible to stop the bleeding.

The vehicle occasionally bumped, but Wen Xia Xia's hands were steady.

The bloody gauze used to clean the wound was quickly thrown into a sealed bag to avoid the spread of bloody smell and attracting zombies.

Apart from the team members' groans of pain, there was no other sound in the carriage.

Everyone sat against the wall of the carriage, and everyone kept a distance from Lin Bai without any prior agreement.

The lead car driven by Zhu Liang was also very quiet.

Lou Tiannan sat alone in the back seat with his eyes closed, his body emitting a high temperature. When the temperature dropped a little, his nostrils twitched slightly, and he glanced at Zhou Yu in the rearview mirror and said, "Zhou Yu, what do you smell like?"

"Smell?" Zhou Yu raised his arm and sniffed curiously, "Does it smell?"

"He must be talking about the smell of the perfume beads on your body." Zhu Liang, who was driving, interjected.

"Ah, this!" Zhou Yu suddenly realized and took out a bottle of perfume beads from his pocket that looked very familiar to Lou Tiannan. He said, "Xiya gave it to me just now. This thing was very useful with Xiya's fire ability. Throw it and it will explode. It will burn wherever it touches the wind. It doesn't require much effort. Just throw it at those people in Xuegu."

In addition to some fragrance, perfume beads also contain a high concentration of flammable ethanol to help evaporate.

Lou Tiannan paused for a moment and said "oh" expressionlessly.

Zhou Yukui saw that Lou Tiannan seemed to be in a bad mood. When he thought about the six shots Lin Bai had just given him, he thought to himself why he was bringing up something that was not relevant.

Zhu Liang smiled softly and said, "Tiannan, Lin Bai's personality is quite similar to yours when you were twenty years old."

"Really?" Zhou Yu asked casually, "Captain Lou used to have this kind of personality?"

Lou Tiannan joined the Federal Military Defense Department at the age of eighteen. Because of his outstanding performance in military operations against rebel rioters, he was awarded the Federal Second Class Medal of Merit at the age of twenty. Since then, he has always had outstanding performance. At the age of twenty-four, he made an exception and became the captain of the third team of the Military Defense Department. He is the youngest captain among the four teams of the Military Defense Department.

Except for Zhu Liang, Zhou Yu, Song Yan and others joined the third team after Lou Tiannan became the captain. Although they always heard about Lou Tiannan's various legendary deeds, they didn't know much about his past personality.

When Zhou Yu heard Zhu Liang mention this, he became curious.

Zhu Liang said, "Of the five branches of the FSB, our Captain Lou, who was only twenty years old at the time, was already well-known to everyone in every branch. Not only was he recognized for his young age with the Second Class Medal of Merit, but also for his temper. The worst incident I remember was when our department was on a mission with the Law Enforcement Division. After the mission was over, he rolled up his sleeves and threatened to pick a fight with the commander of the operation. It took the personal intervention of the heads of both departments to calm things down."

"Huh? Why is that?"

Zhu Liang looked at the road ahead, a look of nostalgia on his face. "It happened a long time ago. At that time, rioters launched a serious kidnapping in a skyscraper in the West Fifth District. The Law Enforcement Department requested assistance, and Tiannan and I led the team to support the operation."

"During the rescue operation, Tiannan had an argument with the then-Law Enforcement Division mission commander. Tiannan wanted to rescue the hostages first, but the commander ordered him to kill the criminals first. Ultimately, he obeyed the command, and the criminals were killed and the hostages were rescued with minor injuries, completing the operation successfully. After the operation, Tiannan rushed to the command room."

"This..." After hearing Zhu Liang's words, Zhou Yu couldn't judge who was right or wrong in this matter for a moment, and asked casually: "Who was the commander of that operation?" Who dared to provoke Captain Lou.

"Elena, the inquisitor of the law enforcement team."

“!!!” Zhou Yu gasped when he heard the name, “Elena?!”

Elena Heber, the captain of the first team of the Law Enforcement Department, was as famous as Lou Tiannan of the Military Defense Department in the Security Bureau. No, her reputation was even higher than Lou Tiannan's.

Someone has done statistics. Since Elena became the captain of the first team of the law enforcement department, the arrest rate of criminals in the federation has increased sharply, and the crime rate in the area she is responsible for has dropped drastically. She has also become the most popular person in the hearts of federal residents because of her gentle and reliable image.

Because of the close partnership between the Law Enforcement Department and the 621 Biomedical Research Institute, Zhou Yu had occasionally seen Elena from a distance in the prison in the Military Defense Division's first area. He had initially thought she was a beautiful and capable female Alpha, until he witnessed her ruthless interrogations of prisoners in the prison...

Zhou Yu only then realized that he was naive.

After the apocalypse, because the power grid and radio waves were destroyed, information in various regions of the federation was severely disconnected. Half a year after the apocalypse, no news of her was heard again.

But I believe that even if her name is mentioned now, it will still scare some criminals.

When Lou Tiannan heard Elena's name, his expression was still not good, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Zhou Yu's admiration for Lou Tiannan unconsciously increased. He was worthy of being Captain Lou, as he dared to challenge Elena to a fight.

Thinking of this, he said thoughtfully: "If you put it this way, Lin Bai really is very similar to Captain Lou back then!"

Lou Tiannan said calmly: "She is not like me." When he went to find Elena, he was full of dissatisfaction and anger, but Lin Bai was not like that. She was not a reckless person.

Zhu Liang paused, glancing at Lou Tiannan's expression in the rearview mirror with some surprise. After a moment's thought, he said, "Both similar and not similar."

At this point, the topic no longer turned to Lin Bai.

The radio in the car crackled with electricity, and Wen Xiaxia's voice came from inside: "Captain Lou, we need to find a place to stop. Li Fan's thigh wound is infected by the blade. We need to stop as soon as possible to perform debridement and suture surgery."

Zhou Yu picked up the map. Lou Tiannan glanced at it and quickly locked onto the temporary parking spot. He said into the radio, "Go to the Tianhaixia parking lot at 3 o'clock. I'll lead the team to clear the area first."

After the sizzling sound, Wen Xia Xia replied, "Okay."

Just as the convoy was heading towards the Tianhaixia parking lot, in a room in a high-walled city less than a hundred miles away, a solid wooden table was smashed into pieces by a palm, and shattered into pieces. A voice filled with gloomy anger rang out: "Go check! Find out where this Lin Bai came from!"
