Chapter 18 Oh no, I can't transform anymore!
A jet-black helicopter slowly descended, a sudden gust of wind arose, sand and gravel flew, and withered vegetation collapsed.
Missy, in her wheelchair, got ahead of her and was carried off the plane by a burly bodyguard.
Li Nai jumped down and squinted at his surroundings.
The yellowish-brown Gobi Desert stretches as far as the eye can see, with sparse vegetation and dead trees lying across it. An abandoned, dilapidated warehouse stands out starkly against the desolate landscape.
A group of people followed Missyke forward one after another, and she combed her hair that was blowing forward on both sides to catch up with the troops.
As soon as she entered, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and cough.
The warehouse ceiling has three holes, allowing the intense sunlight to stream down like golden pillars, while dust swirls around a withered wooden table and two high stools.
"Ms. Missy, you've arrived."
A man's voice echoed through the warehouse.
Liu Tianzun, dressed in a brown trench coat and denim hat, stood up, spread his arms, and warmly welcomed them.
"I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for me to do this." Missy helplessly spread her hands, clearly indicating her leg.
Liu Tianzun laughed heartily: "It won't affect our business negotiations."
"Just you? Your sister didn't come?"
Liu Tianzun turned around and heard a woman's voice echoing loudly.
"I'm here."
Accompanied by the rumbling sound of the rollers moving.
As everyone looked, in the dim light, a three-meter-tall, fully enclosed iron box was pushed out. A petite woman sat atop it, her high-top leather boots swaying.
Thump! The metal box stopped in the beam of light.
Liu Tianbao deftly flipped down.
Missy's gaze fell on the large iron box.
"It contains the latest type of virus."
Liu Tianbao took the telescopic baton handed to him by his subordinate, extended it, and used the pointed end to open the small window.
Sunlight streamed through the small window.
The next second, a monster-like roar echoed through the empty warehouse.
The little stick quickly closed the small window. The metal box hummed softly.
Missy ordered one of his men to inspect the goods personally.
After confirming everything was correct, Misi Ke began a formal conversation with the Liu siblings.
Li Nai quietly shifted his weight between his feet, glanced at both sides out of the corner of his eye, and then pretended to seriously observe the three large holes that had been torn open in the sky.
For the first three hours she was a personal maid, but now she has transformed into a personal bodyguard.
At first, I felt very nervous, but after standing there for a while, I started to act like a cold-faced bodyguard.
So boring. My feet hurt so much. When will Qi Shuihan fire the gun?
Before the departure time was set, Qi Shuihan told her that she would fire at a crucial moment to create an opportunity, and would only stop after it had an effect. When she heard this, she almost jumped up, seriously suspecting that the other party wanted to use the excuse of helping her to kill her.
Only after Qi Shuihan repeatedly assured her that he would not harm her life and promised to support her in healing nearby did she stop jumping up and down.
As the sunlight shifted overhead, the conversation finally ended, and they shook hands and smiled. The three-meter-long iron box was moved to a new location.
Both groups walked out of the warehouse together.
Base personnel connected the large metal box to the helicopter.
"Li Nai," Misiko called out, turning her head.
She immediately realized they were boarding a helicopter. She jogged over, stealing glances at the distant, undulating cliffs on either side, and her cold, hard exterior cracked instantly.
Was it that easy? Could it be that Qi Shuihan fell asleep while sunbathing?
He gripped the wheelchair handles with both hands, ready to push it forward.
Swoosh—
Ding-dong! The wheelchair tilted to the left.
The surroundings were quiet for a second, then the crowd erupted in cheers.
Both sides protected their boss and sought cover.
A group of people surrounded Missy and her, moving in an orderly fashion amidst the chaos. Along the way, the makeshift human walls collapsed one after another. The remaining people covered the gaps.
The space was filled with the stench of blood and the mingled smells of tension.
Dust billowed as his men, who had fled earlier, sped up in their cars. Two sleek black bulletproof SUVs surrounded them.
The car door opened from the inside, and several people hurriedly lifted Misike inside. Li Nai quickly squeezed onto the car. These people only had eyes for their boss, Misike.
She squeezed herself into a small space near the window.
Outside the window, the helicopter had already taken off, carrying a large iron box and flying away. It was as if the bullet that had failed in the sneak attack was a signal to take off.
The withered, tangled grass rushed past, and the car sped across the boundless Gobi Desert.
"Have you found the location?"
Misik's voice was calm, and it could be said that his expression hadn't changed since the sneak attack began.
A female bodyguard turned on her computer, and the keyboard began to clatter.
Li Nai squeezed out his upper body, peering through the gaps between the heads.
The screen is divided into two parts. On the left is the real scene, with the Gobi Desert blending into a mottled yellowish-brown color from high above, and the mountain range stretching endlessly. On the right is a three-dimensional topographic map with rich and varied digital lines.
Drones?
The screen flashes a moving red dot, tracking its location, then quickly displays a realistic scene: rolling hills and a long trail of dust. The image zooms in, gradually becoming clearer.
The off-road motorcycle blended almost seamlessly into the gravelly terrain, its dirty, earth-colored shawl billowing in the wind. A matching cloth tightly wrapped around its head, obscuring the lower half of its face, and coupled with windproof and sandproof sunglasses, it was impossible to discern any identifying information.
Qi Shuihan?!
Li Nai suddenly plunged his head into the two heads, his eyes fixed on the off-road motorcycle speeding across the screen.
The drone followed for a distance, and the mysterious motorcyclist frequently looked back, swerved, turned left and right, and disappeared into the crowded mountains.
The image circled around, but I couldn't see a single trace!
The drone was tricked.
As Li Nai was thinking, in the blink of an eye, the real-life scene shook violently, spun around and fell to the ground, finally turning into complete darkness.
"They've spotted our drone," the female bodyguard reported.
Missy lit a cigarette, his deep eyes gazing at the scene outside.
She followed and looked outside.
In a fleeting glance, a faint, bright white shooting star streaked across the sky; if her eyes hadn't turned at just the right angle, she would have barely noticed it.
What is that?
boom--
The lead vehicle was instantly engulfed in flames, and the shockwave, carrying shards of broken glass from the windows, slammed into their faces.
Li Nai felt his body lurch backward, the world spinning, his vision going black, and a buzzing sound in his ears, like the drawn-out busy tone of a hospital electrocardiogram monitor.
My chest feels so heavy.
Li Nai's eyelids twitched, and a pungent smell of burning filled the air. She opened her eyes and saw the clear blue sky outside the car window.
She pushed away the man who was pressing on her chest.
He grabbed the car door above his head with both hands and dragged his legs out from under the other person's back.
They're incredibly lucky.
The seven-seater car, twisted and deformed, looked as if it had been torn apart by a monster's hand. The four people inside, including her, groaned in pain. For some reason, she was the only one unharmed, except for chest pain and a faint metallic taste in her throat.
Misik, Misik.
His gaze searched aimlessly.
Bring up the character panel. Character #2 is showing as alive, only a few meters away from her.
She climbed onto the person and onto the windshield of the car, which had no glass, and anxiously looked around.
Sure enough, a few meters away, a person was seen sitting or lying under a car door, with a rock protruding from the ground behind them.
His golden-brown hair was messy and covered half of his face, and his exposed eyebrows were now painfully furrowed.
"Misik. Misik."
She screamed and crawled out.
Just as he took a step out, a bullet struck right in front of his toes, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.
She quickly backed away, shoving her buttocks back into the front of the car. Looking around, her fear hadn't subsided.
Anger rose in my heart.
Qi Shuihan, you almost punched my foot through!
She stared intently at Missyko, her gaze falling upon her.
woke up!
"Misik, are you hurt?"
Missy turned her head to the side, her eyebrows furrowed together, looking extremely pained, and had no time to pay attention to her.
He must be injured.
Li Nais pondered.
Another bullet came flying, and she ducked down to see a large eye on the front of the car.
Hey! You haven't come out yet! Why are you in such a hurry? You bitch.
The pain seemed to have lessened somewhat for Missy across from him; her mouth was moving.
She listened carefully.
"Transformation."
Missy needs her to transform to save her.
But it wasn't Qi Shuihan's turn to speak yet.
She pretended not to understand, but in her heart, she was wondering if this was her chance. She was willing to risk being killed by ambushing enemies to protect him. Missyco should be moved, right?
He thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.
He climbed out of the front of the car again, covered his head, and rushed straight towards the rock where Misik was.
She seemed to be blessed by the goddess of luck; bullets always seemed to miss her by a hair's breadth.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a row of dust was kicked up from the ground.
"Owner."
She knelt down beside him, expectantly watching whether Missyko's face showed any emotion, only to be met with a devastating blow!
"Why don't you transform!"
Mishiko's eyes were stern, as if she were calling her an idiot. The cold expression didn't last long, and she started to clench her fists in pain again.
Li Nai was puzzled and worried. Why was it different from what she had expected?
Looking up and down, I noticed that Missy was clutching her lower abdomen tightly. The source of her pain was there.
My gaze shifted to the heavy car door. Could it have been pressing on my abdomen, causing internal organ damage?
Lower both hands and lift the door frame.
"Master, don't move."
After saying that, he lifted her with all his might. He lifted her until her neck and face turned bright red, veins bulging, the car door lifted, tilted, and fell in front of her. She tumbled backward, clinging to the car door.
Ouch!
My chest hurt even more.
What kind of door is this? Why is it so heavy?
She looked down and examined it closely. It looked familiar, but it wasn't from the base. It seemed to be the door of the car that came with the "buy one get one free" deal.
A carload of goods? What are you giving away...?
A dog barked and came running, almost within arm's reach.
Bang!
An old man's狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face lay beside her. Purple-red blood flowed from the split back of his head.
Pupil tremor!
Zombies!
They delivered a truckload of zombies!
He pushed himself up from the car door, climbed out, and rushed to Missy's side.
Ahead, there was supposed to be the last container truck in the convoy. The bottom of the container door was broken, and zombies kept pushing and shoving their way out.
They are different from ordinary zombies; they are faster and more ferocious.
Missy could shoot them.
Can you drive?
She nodded. "I guess so. I just got my driver's license two months ago."
"There's a car up ahead. Go get it and pick me up. I'll cover you."
Missy took out a spare magazine, and seeing that she didn't move, and looking at her expression, he understood.
"Won't?"
"Yes! Yes!" She turned her eyes away, afraid to meet the other person's gaze.
"go!"
The breach in the box door was being violently torn wider and wider by a group of zombies.
Gunfire continued, but she charged forward without a care in the world. Every time she was about to be grabbed by a zombie, Missyco's bullets would invariably shatter its head.
I opened the car door, got in, and started the engine... Huh?! Manual transmission?
What era are we living in? Private cars are still manual transmissions! She only has a C2 license!
Looking out the car window, I saw Missy changing magazines.
He pulled back, not daring to say he couldn't do it manually.
He angrily slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
The number of zombies increased, from one exit to two, and then three zombies squeezed out of the box door together.
Missy is running out of bullets.
what to do?
Li Nai decides to switch bodies.
Close your eyes.
Open your eyes. The scene remains the same.
Close your eyes again.
Open your eyes again!
My forehead was sweating, my heart was racing, and a bad feeling was throbbing in my temples.
I closed my eyes, refusing to believe it.
Sigh. I opened my eyes resignedly.
That's it. Too far from the host to switch.
The gunfire stopped; the bullets were exhausted.
“Linai!” Missy shouted.
With his face buried in the steering wheel, Missy suddenly lifted up, ready to fight a zombie.
She jumped out of the car, picked up the pieces of the car body, and without thinking, ran quickly, almost leaping into the back of the zombie's head.
Purple-red blood gushed out.
Pushing the zombie aside, he said to Missy, "Sorry, I can't drive."
Without giving Missy any chance to react, she picked up a piece of barkless, dead wood as if fleeing and started smashing it at the approaching zombies.
Qi Shuihan, don't let me die here.
Hoping for the best, I actually managed to kill two zombies. My luck was really good today.
She turned around and didn't see Missy.
The sound of a car starting could be heard.
She didn't have time to look; the third zombie was a head taller than her, its withered tree trunk blocking its gaping, foul-smelling mouth, and its body swaying unsteadily.
burst!
The ugly head in front of me exploded.
She almost shed tears of emotion.
Qi Shuihan, I'll reward you handsomely when I get back.
A screeching sound of brakes came from behind.
"Get in the car quickly."
She was just surprised that Missy could still drive with a leg injury when she slammed her hand on the car door.
She quickly got into the back seat. Turning around to pull the car door shut, before she could close it, the car started moving without stopping, smashing into a zombie blocking her way.
Behind the car, the pursuing zombies were left far behind.
She turned her head and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Why don't you transform?
In the rearview mirror, Missy's cold gaze was fixed on her.
"I can't." Her voice was barely a whisper.
“Speak closer,” Missyko said coldly.
Her eyes widened in surprise; it was the first time she had ever heard Missy's voice so cold.
Holding onto the chair, he slowly brought his head closer to Missy's ear, hesitant. What reason could he come up with?
Suddenly, the passenger-side window shattered.
Missy seemed to anticipate this, and the car made a sharp turn.
A bullet grazed Li Nai's face.
Li Nai's upper body slumped onto the passenger seat.
My trembling hand touched my cheek; it was wet. Looking down, I saw my hand was covered in blood.
If it weren't for Misik's miraculous turn of the steering wheel, both of them would have had their heads pierced by a single bullet.
I knew it! Qi Shuihan, you're still up to your old tricks!
Two kilometers away on the mountain, behind a naturally enclosed rock formation, lies a yellowish-brown mound that blends seamlessly with the rock. Beside it sits a mortar and a lying off-road motorcycle.
Qi Shuihan moved the binoculars, shifting his gaze away from the speeding car and towards another mountain range a few hundred meters away. Through the light filter, he carefully observed the location where the bullets were fired.
There were other people ambushing Missyco.
She adjusted the mortar firing position.
The second bullet was delayed. The enemy must have been anticipating the car's movement, or perhaps they were worried about a counterattack from her side.
Qi Shuihan wasn't in a hurry; she could wait patiently, but she was afraid that Li Nai and the others wouldn't be able to escape.
We can only bombard the enemy's approximate location to disrupt them.
Taking the initiative would mean exposing herself, so she had to retreat early.
Set the time and load 3 shells.
Then came a loud explosion, and Qi Shuihan quickly got on his motorcycle and drove away from the scene.
Instead of leaving, she moved to the second, pre-arranged high position. She had to eliminate any potential trouble for Li Nai.
He lay prone, hiding, and observed through binoculars; the dust and smoke were dispersed layer by layer by the wind. A person ran among the strange rocks, their movements somewhat odd.
Adjust the multiplier.
The sight of the bleeding figure seemed increasingly familiar.
Angelica dahurica?
Qi Shuihan suspected that Bai Zhi's actions were orchestrated by the organization. Things were getting complicated.
We can't let her leave.
They set up their guns.
The other person quickly ran to the location she had identified.
With fingers gripping the wrench, the bullet is ready to fire.
Boom—
A shell landed near her, sending sand and dust flying seven or eight meters high.
She looked up, and clods of dirt and gravel fell from above. When she looked through the scope again, the person had already disappeared.
They used the same trick, but their accuracy was vastly different.
Put the gun away. Put this worry aside for now.
With blood streaming down her body, Bai Zhi, who values her life so much, wouldn't continue chasing Li Nai and the others.
He picked up the motorcycle again and chased after Li Nai and the others in the direction they had fled.
