Chapter 542: Mist. Internal Support
Chu An pushed the corpse down, and blood gushed out from the wound and flowed out through the gap in the electronic door. People around him dodged in a hurry.
She took back the straw rope and tied it casually around her waist. She raised her hand to wipe the blood off her face with her sleeve, but found that she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Gu Ye hurriedly took off his T-shirt, revealing a large white hurdle vest underneath, so it wasn't considered naked, and handed it to her.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." Gu Ye wanted to wipe it for her directly, but he felt embarrassed because there were too many people around.
Chu An wiped his face and looked at Cui Yingjie, "Can I open the electronic door now?"
The surroundings were still quiet. It was not like they had seen murder before, let alone the killing of a living dead person. However, the thin, small, clean and fair-skinned little girl in front of them was so decisive and ruthless in her knife-wielding move without any hesitation. It was too... too much beyond their expectations.
"Ahem..." Cui Yingjie was shocked by the scene in front of him just after he put down the phone, "You...you guys..."
You all are so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He forced himself to calm down, called Gao Yuan over, and asked him to take people to the ninth floor to check. He looked at cell 8 and met Chu An's calm eyes, and his heart trembled. Maybe the deputy director was right, this woman was not simple, so it was better not to provoke her for now.
Chu An threw his T-shirt on the ground and stepped on it with his blood-stained soles, crushing it twice. "Captain Cui, I feel the need to state my identity and position once again. We were law-abiding citizens before the apocalypse, and we have never lost our conscience after the apocalypse. We came here out of necessity, just to find our companions and then leave together."
“Everyone here says that.”
The person who was talking hid behind his companion, thinking that Chu An couldn't see him. As a result, his companion hurriedly moved away, not wanting to have anything to do with someone who was confused.
Chu An smiled lightly, his cold eyes looking straight ahead, "Believe it or not, I don't want to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either."
The man shuddered and felt as if countless bloodthirsty beasts were staring at him. He immediately shrank back into the crowd like a quail.
Chu An retracted his gaze and continued to look at Cui Yingjie, "I can be your companion, or I can be your enemy... It all depends on your choice."
Cui Yingjie had lived for more than 40 years, and for the first time he felt that a person's smile and words were colder than the wind in the twelfth lunar month. They seemed to penetrate into the bones of a person and make him shiver from the inside out.
Others had the same feeling and couldn't help swallowing. Those who could retreat retreated five meters away from Chu An. No one wanted to be an enemy of this female devil who killed people without blinking an eye.
"Open the door." Cui Yingjie calmed himself down. He didn't want to get rheumatoid arthritis yet. Besides, there were too few people he could use now and he couldn't offend any of them.
The people at the center console had to obey orders. Before their team leader Ge could react, an older woman pressed switch number 8.
The cell door slowly opened, Lao Chu jumped over the corpse and walked out swaggeringly, followed by the bearded man at the door who staggered out, and another one rolled over and crawled out without feeling dizzy or blind.
"Damn." Old Chu really wanted to swear.
Cui Yingjie nodded to Chu An. The matter came to an end and he had to deal with other things.
He asked his men to guard the people and pull the telephone line to the farthest place near the door to continue contacting the higher-ups. Soon, a message came from the information group.
The patients in the medical center went crazy and rushed to the ninth floor. Captain Li led his men to resist.
Twenty minutes later, Captain Li had lost two-thirds of his men and he himself was injured. He assigned the remaining men to guard the various exits and requested that the ninth floor be sealed off.
Ten minutes later, the east staircase on the ninth floor was lost and everyone was evacuated.
Because Cui Yingjie was on a mission on the 13th floor, he was assigned to take over the 12th floor, and the director himself stamped the order.
The resources he could mobilize were only the manual laborers and security guards on the tenth and eleventh floors, the guards of the isolation room on the twelfth floor, the planting personnel on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth floors, etc. The mission was to defend the twelfth floor without any support.
He had thought about the armed forces below the eighteenth floor, but he estimated that the director would rather they all died than agree.
Cui Yingjie put aside his unrealistic thoughts. He still had a chance to fight, but he felt passive because he didn't hear the broadcast.
More people kept coming down outside, and everyone outside didn't know how to deal with it, so they were waiting for Cui Yingjie to give orders.
"All injured should be sent to Isolation Room No. 1." Cui Yingjie was not sure whether the madman would be contagious, but since there was already a precedent here, it would be best to use it as an isolation point.
His orders caused dissatisfaction among others, but they had guns in their hands and could only complain.
Chu An and others were still standing in front of cell No. 8. She believed in Grandma Xia's judgment that spider venom was not contagious, otherwise it would not have been able to kill Sun Hao directly.
But I felt like there was a gaze on me, so I turned my head. The owner of the gaze was a man in rags, with unkempt hair and a beard that was almost covering his face.
Gangzi saw Chuan looking at him and whispered in a trembling voice, "Xiaoan, it's been a long time."
Chu An raised an eyebrow. He had always thought he was just a passerby. He was a little surprised to hear the familiar voice, "Gangzi?"
"Yes, it's me." Gangzi's voice was a little hoarse, and there was an inexplicable feeling. It was as if there were too many grievances in his chest with nowhere to vent, and because he saw someone he could trust, he just let it out a little.
After we parted in City C, I've been through so many things and people are no longer the same.
Chu An smiled apologetically, I’m sorry Gangzi, if I hadn’t heard the voice, I really wouldn’t have known it was you!!!
"Brother Gangzi, it's really you." Gu Ye was extremely excited. Was this like meeting an old friend in a foreign land?
"Are you hurt?" Chu An was more concerned about his physical and mental health.
"No." Gangzi scratched his head, still a little bit unbelieving that he met Xiao An.
He had been captured for two months, and had never washed his face, brushed his teeth, or shaved his beard. He could only eat three-tenths of a meal a day. He had tried various ways to escape, and the closest he had come was to leave the protective net, but he was not strong enough to keep up and was eventually captured. He then starved for three days. The base did not beat people, nor did it allow the guards to scold or torture them, but it was still very painful to be locked up like this.
They just want to do business with the base, is it necessary to do this?
"That's good, I'll take you out of here."
Chu An was also very happy to see Gangzi. At least he could know Li Qing’s situation in advance. However, now was not the time to listen to him. He would ask him after leaving the base.
The seventh, eighth, eleventh and twelfth floors were evacuated together, proving that the ninth floor had been lost and the situation had also affected the floors above and below.
"Where is the ninth floor?" Chu An asked.
Gangzi and the others shook their heads, they knew too little information. Lao Chu wanted to find someone to ask, but these people avoided them like a flood or a beast.
"Don't worry, someone will send me a message. Let's keep a low profile for now." Chu An didn't want to have a conflict with Cui Yingjie, even if it happened, it wouldn't be now.
She took out a handful of candy from her pocket and distributed it to a few people to replenish their energy. Before entering the base, she temporarily recruited an insider, which should be useful.
"Xiao An, is she reliable?" Gu Ye swallowed three pieces of candy together. That man's eyes were on the top of his head and he looked down on everyone.
"Ninety-nine percent."
"Who did you contact?" Lao Chu was a little curious.
"Sun Yue." Chu An answered simply.
She also thought about using Han Xing and others, but their belief in the base was too strong, so she could only target cZR.
