Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 806 Gao Zhenzhen Is Captured
Chapter 806: Chapter 806 Gao Zhenzhen Is Captured
The footsteps grew nearer, and the beams of flashlights swept over them again and again from outside. Gao Zhenzhen and her two companions clutched their mouths, curling up in the corner of the wall, terrified they might accidentally scream out loud.
It’s okay, it’s okay, they’re just searching up and down in the cafeteria; they won’t search here.
Gao Zhenzhen comforted herself over and over again.
In fact, Han Yue had spotted the three people a long time ago but, to avoid revealing his Mental Element Ability, he had slowly led the search throughout the base cafeteria.
At the back exit of the cafeteria, a group that had finished searching the area gathered there, only a street away from the garbage room where they were hiding.
“Young Master Han, there’s no one here,”
the team leader ran back and reported. He knew it, how could anyone hide in a place like this?
Gao Zhenzhen, just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this, heard another voice, devilish in its tone:
“Did we miss anywhere? Have you checked over there?”
Han Yue slowly raised his finger, pointing toward the nearby garbage room.
The crowd glanced at each other, then shook their heads, saying, “No, we haven’t been there.”
“Maybe… the person is hiding there.”
Han Yue walked leisurely toward the garbage room.
Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Feng let out a scream.
It’s over.
That was the only word that crossed Gao Zhenzhen’s mind. They were completely finished.
The scream immediately drew everyone’s attention, and they all instinctively ran ahead of Han Yue to check what was happening in the garbage room.
Wang Liang also followed closely behind Han Yue, as over a dozen flashlights illuminated the three people huddled inside the garbage room.
“Found them!”
The team leader exclaimed with some joy. They were indeed hiding here…
Gao Zhenzhen closed her eyes in despair, and for some reason, the words Lin Tianhui had advised them echoed in her mind:
B City isn’t as good as you think, don’t go…
Yi Pei lifted her head to see Han Yue looking down on them as if they were as good as dead.
“No, it wasn’t me, it was Gao Zhenzhen who injured Patriarch Han, I was just too scared, she dragged me out,”
Yi Pei cried with sobs.
“Yes, yes! We can testify too, we both saw her injure Patriarch Han with our own eyes, please let us go!”
Seeing Yi Pei’s reaction, Gu Feng immediately crawled over to her side as if they too were victims of the incident.
Gao Zhenzhen couldn’t believe the two former close sisters, and she couldn’t help but defend herself:
“Who’s been saying every day they want to leave here and return to S City base? It was you two, night and day complaining to me, egging me on, and now, you’re pushing me forward as a scapegoat?! I’m fighting with you!”
With that, the three women actually started fighting in front of everyone.
“…”
Han Yue furrowed his brows watching the three of them. Had they made a mistake?
Could such people have come up with such a meticulous plan and to rescue Lian Jiyue?
“Where did you hide Lian Jiyue?”
Han Yue asked.
“Young Master Han, we don’t know, what Lian Jiyue?”
Yi Pei asked, while using her arm to block Gao Zhenzhen’s scratching.
Could it be an act?
Han Yue also thought of this possibility. He had originally assumed that one of the three might be a Dual-Element Ability User, which was why he conspired with others to carry out tonight’s affair. But now, he felt that these three people were not as he had imagined.
“Take them back first,”
Disgusted, Han Yue covered his nose and walked out of the garbage room, causing everyone else to breathe a sigh of relief in unison.
The culprits were caught; could they finally clock out and rest?
Seeing this, Wang Liang also continued to follow with an expressionless face, and couldn’t help but feel moved. It seemed that even the heavens were helping the Heart Talk Team!
…
Just when Lu Hao and his companions were about to run out of Special Ability power on the road, Lin Cheng finally drove what was once a brand-new business car into an old, dented vehicle. However, the good news was that N City’s base was up ahead.
They had encountered many Zombie swarms surrounding their car along the way. After all, the performance of a business car couldn’t match an armored vehicle, and since it was an unreinforced business car, Lu Hao’s group had to get out and clear out Zombies several times.
“My god, we’re finally here,”
Lin Xiuyuan gasped for breath as he spoke. It seemed that dawn was also fast approaching.
“Someone… is coming,”
Mao Qiqi was also exhausted. She was tired and sleepy, and if another wave of Zombies came, she might really have to sneak into her Space to hide.
“As long as it’s people coming and not Zombies, that’s fine,”
Although Huang Yunxiang was also out of strength, she still paid attention to the people running up ahead.
Xue Wanyi and Nie Qing were at the front, each flying in mid-air with an unhurried look.
“It’s Lu Hao! It’s our car!”
Xue Wanyi shouted with surprise after noticing the car.
“Really?!”
Yin Chengtian and the others quickened their pace upon hearing this. They were so worried they couldn’t sleep, so they simply decided to wait right at the city gate.
“Haha, I told you my apprentices could turn danger into safety,”
Although Nie Qing said this, his voice was filled with joy.
Upon seeing Nie Qing, the first thing Lu Hao whispered to him was, “Go tell Xiao Jin and the others first that we’re fine,”
He knew that Su Jin and the family members at the base must be waiting for their news. He didn’t want Su Jin to worry too much.
“I know, I know, it’s good that you’re alright,”
Nie Qing chuckled and patted Lu Hao’s sturdy shoulder to show his feeling.
“It’s really good that everyone is fine. Qiqi, are you okay?”
It was the first time Liao Yifan saw Qiqi looking so listless, so he asked with concern.
“I’m okay. Just a bit sleepy,”
Mao Qiqi said, leaning against Liao Yifan, her gaze still lingering on Lian Jiyue inside the car.
Still a deep blue hue, she wondered if Xiao Yue… was alright?
“Let’s go. Everyone should go in and rest first,”
Guo Yang also saw that everyone’s condition wasn’t too great, and thus didn’t plan to ask more. It was good enough that they came out safely.
The accommodation that Chen Chuyao arranged for the Heart Talk Team wasn’t at his home this time but still in an empty room next to their home. Wen Xiaoling asked him not to disturb them for now since the Heart Talk Team was going to stay here for a couple of days and wait for the Wei Family’s team to arrive before leaving.
“Travelling overnight is no easy feat. You’ve seen Lu Hao, haven’t you? Let people have a good rest before you go,”
Wen Xiaoling said. Although she was somewhat regretful that she couldn’t see Su Jin for the time being, she was also very happy that her family could help the Heart Talk Team this time.
After the incident in Y-country, she was genuinely worried about causing trouble for the Heart Talk Team. However, later, her senior, Russell, also sent a message through someone, saying he was very grateful for her introduction. The Heart Talk Team had successfully and smoothly dealt with all Zombie Cockroaches in Y-country. Moreover, they even brought a lengthy letter of thanks, which confused her since she had never seen Russell be so talkative before.
“I know, I know, my dearest mother. I indeed have something important to ask them, but you’re right. I won’t disturb them now,”
Chen Chuyao said, stretching himself.
