Chapter 06 Civilized Sinner 6
Upon hearing the system's words, Yan Nan immediately sped up his packing.
He knew without thinking who would be the one coming at this time. After all, apart from that guy, no one else would have the time to come to him when such a big thing happened in the base.
He hurriedly packed up the important data, but with only one hand to use, he couldn't handle these things quickly and well. In the end, he let the system copy the data for him hastily, and then left in the opposite direction of the visitor.
Not long after Yan Nan left, Yuan Qing, empty-handed but full of murderous intent, suddenly opened the door and rushed in. There was no one in the room, but there were obvious signs of the documents being rummaged through.
He walked into the room without saying a word. The cold moonlight shone in through the window, illuminating the remaining dirt and bloodstains clearly. The owner of the bloodstains left in a hurry, so even if they were cleaned carefully, traces were still left behind.
Yuan Qing followed these traces and chased in the direction where Yan Nan left.
Under the silent moon, mottled bloodstains, swaying shadows of trees, and figures hurriedly passing by brought up a small breeze, causing the leaves on the ground to sway gently.
The visitor was quite familiar with him and knew him very well.
He had the guidance of a system, and he carefully took detours and erased his tracks, but the guy behind him kept chasing him.
Yan Nan ran all the way while the rain was still falling. He was soaked all over. He had a high fever and his head was dizzy and dazed.
He is a mortal being, and he has only managed to hold on with his last breath.
Yan Nan held the documents tightly in his left hand, bent his waist and ran forward desperately. His heart seemed to jump into his throat, his breathing was rapid, his throat was extremely dry, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but he did not dare to stop.
He couldn't let Yuan Qing catch up. Looking at the blood-red hatred value in the system space that soared to 99, he would definitely kill him!
He couldn't die here, he wouldn't let the mission fail.
The moonlight gradually dimmed.
The pursuit behind them seemed to slow down, and with Yan Nan's swerving skills, the distance between the two gradually widened.
[Turning right 200 meters ahead, there is a cellar. Hide in it and go to Yannan.] The system gave a timely reminder.
Yan Nan turned right without hesitation. However, just as he was about to go down to the cellar, a boy's cry for help suddenly rang out in the silent and empty night sky.
[Hide inside Yan Nan! ] Seeing Yan Nan hesitate for a moment, the system immediately urged.
He didn't have time to care about all this now, Yan Nan thought, but his body rushed forward without any control.
Soon, he saw the scene in front of him. The boy who was crying because of fear had fallen in the mud, and right next to him, a short boy was struggling with a zombie.
He rushed over, but just as he ran over, the zombie head screamed and bit the boy's shoulder.
Both the man and the zombie stopped moving.
When he got closer, Yan Nan realized that the dagger in the boy's hand was precisely inserted into the zombie's head, killing it decisively and cleanly.
The boy's facial features were tightly wrinkled in pain, but he kept holding the dagger in his hand tightly and never let go.
Both a man and a zombie fell down.
Yan Nanchong rushed over to catch him, then pulled the zombie off the boy's body.
By this time, the strange boy had fallen into a coma due to his serious injuries.
Yan Nan checked the condition of the person in his arms. He was just a child. He closed his eyes tightly, and his tender face was wrinkled in pain. The terrible wound on his shoulder was still bleeding. The edge of the wound was black and green. In the blood vessels, the zombie virus began to spread at a terrifying speed.
[It's hopeless. Let's go, Yannan.] The system urged again.
Yan Nan still stood there with a frown on his face, not moving.
[Alas, this kind of injury...] The system stopped talking halfway, and after two seconds it changed its voice to remind him.
[There is a serum in your...left pocket. Give it to him and try it...] After saying that, the system fell silent again.
[Thank you.] Yan Nan took out the medicine from his pocket without thinking. The medicine came in two separate packages, and he needed to mix them together.
It was obviously not easy to accomplish this task with one hand, so Yan Nan had to endure the severe pain and use his right hand to help.
He wasted time there again, and the system prompt sounded anxiously urging him again.
[The characters in the story are approaching, please leave as soon as possible. ]
He pressed the plunger to gently expel the air from the syringe.
Yan Nan pursed his lips tightly, knelt on the ground, hunched his back, and aimed the needle at the boy's vein with a focused expression under the dim moonlight.
The syringe was pushed in slowly, and the system's prompt sounds almost turned into a rock tune in my head.
It's pushed to the limit.
He pulled out the needle.
【Go left.】 The system gave the order concisely.
Yan Nan started running away again.
The moon was hidden beneath the clouds, and darkness reigned everywhere between heaven and earth.
Yuan Qing finally caught up with the guy who was fleeing everywhere. His excellent eyesight allowed him to immediately notice Yan Huai, who was lying on the ground and made him look for the whole night, and Yan Nan, who was squatting next to him, doing something unknown.
Yan Nan turned around and saw him, then ran away as nimbly as a rabbit.
Yuan Qing's heart was pounding, and he anxiously went to check on Yan Huai. The first thing he noticed was a huge, terrible wound on the boy's shoulder. He touched it and found that Yan Huai's body was cold and he was no longer breathing.
He felt as if all the blood in his body was drained away at that moment.
The next moment, it seemed as if his blood vessels were filled with boiling magma, and his entire brain was burning.
Yuan Qing roared angrily: "Yan Nan! You scumbag!"
Yan Nan overestimated his own exhausted physical condition and underestimated Yuan Qing's extraordinary performance in anger.
In a few seconds he caught up with Yan Nan, then suddenly jumped up and stepped on Yan Nan's back.
[Yan Nan!] Yan Nan rolled over to avoid it, then ran to the other side without hesitation.
There are always unexpected ways, and the road he chose at random had already collapsed in the battle to defend the city tonight.
He was at the end of his rope.
Yan Nanhuai turned around holding the documents. The sky was a little brighter at this time, and the streets were shrouded in a thin mist.
Yuan Qing did not sprint again, but walked towards Yan Nan slowly and urgently step by step. He stopped about five meters away from Yan Nan.
The rain began to fall again.
The two faced each other in silence.
Yan Nan calmly glanced at Yuan Qing in front of him. He was in a miserable state, not much better than him. His combat uniform was tattered and soaked with rain and blood. His hair hung down wildly, tightly against his face. The most frightening thing was his eyes, which were pitch black, but reflected light like a wolf. His eyeballs stared at him intently, making people feel creepy.
"I..." Yan Nan was about to say something.
However, Yuan Qing suddenly rushed over, and before he could dodge, he felt his shoulder being held down, and at the same time, another hand tightly grasped his neck. Yuan Qing used the force to turn around in the air and came behind Yan Nan, and then he felt a sharp pain from behind.
After pinning him down, Yuan Qing immediately raised his knee and kicked him in the back. His body fell forward uncontrollably, and the documents in his arms fell to the ground.
Yuan Qing still had his knees against his back, one hand around his neck, and the other hand grasping his loose hair.
"Where else do you want to escape to?" His voice rang coldly in Yan Nan's ears. There was terrible anger hidden under his calm tone.
Yuan Qing grabbed Yan Nan's hair and pressed half of his face into the mud. He stared at the man he pinned down. At this time, Yan Nan's brows were wrinkled, and his face was full of pain. His long hair was wet by the rain, and it stuck to his pale cheeks and neck.
He tightened his grip and felt the pulse beating violently in his palm.
The neck in his hand was fragile and tender, as if it could be easily broken if he used just the slightest force.
As if possessed, he slowly tightened his grip...
Yan Nan's face instantly turned red, and his breathing became short and rapid. He struggled violently to try to catch his breath, but that little bit of strength was not enough in front of Yuan Qing. The fingers around his neck were like cast iron.
Soon, his struggles became weak, his chest stopped rising and falling, and his eyelids slowly closed.
A pale, thin hand grabbed randomly in the air twice, then fell down weakly.
"Captain!" A sudden voice startled Yuan Qing. His pupils dilated and he loosened his hands abruptly, moving away from Yan Nan as if he was burned.
"Cough!! Cough cough cough!!!" As soon as Yuan Qing let go of him, Yan Nan immediately burst into a heart-wrenching cough. His whole body trembled with pain. His back arched and he curled up into a ball on the muddy ground.
Yan Nan lay on the ground for a long time before he regained some strength. He barely opened his eyelids and took a look at the current situation.
The sky gradually turned white, and soon the sun rose, with brilliant clouds covering most of the sky and illuminating the entire dilapidated and hopeless ruins of the base.
In the blurry vision, a short figure was walking towards them with the sun behind him.
[Congratulations, the side mission has been successfully completed...] The system's voice rang on time, but Yan Nan was already in a trance and completely unconscious.
Yuan Qing was completely stunned. He looked in the direction of the sound in surprise and suspicion, and saw that Yan Huai, who he had just confirmed to be dead, was standing up again.
He stared blankly at Yan Huai, who didn't look like a zombie, jogging towards him.
When he walked up to him, Yuan Qing stared at the terrible wound on Yan Huai's body, which was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What is going on?
"Captain..." Yan Huai came over, stretched out his hand to help up Yuan Qing who had fallen to the ground due to excessive movement, and looked at him with some worry.
Yuan Qing didn't pay attention to his actions. He turned his head and kept his eyes fixed on Yan Nan who was lying on the mud beside him.
He was curled up, his clothes were soaked in mud and water, one of his arms was bent at an unreasonable angle and propped up under his body, but the owner of the arm seemed to be sleeping without feeling any pain.
The sun rose high in the sky.
