Chapter 8 Reunion (Upper Part)
byChapter 8 Reunion (Upper Part)
At this moment, inside a villa near Mingxuan Road.
Five men in military uniforms were gathered on the second floor, either sitting or standing.
Xiao Zui stood by the window, occasionally looking down.
"Calm down," Bai Mu rose from the sofa and walked over to Xiao Zui's side, "It shouldn't be too bad."
"Hmm," Xiao Zui couldn't help but glance out the window, clearly agitated.
Xiao Zui had been on a mission with his team all day, in the remote mountains where signals were poor. It wasn't until noon that the mission ended, and on their way back, he discovered Xiao Hua's messages.
Xiao Hua rarely messaged him, so Xiao Zui hurried back to the villa. However, the surroundings had drastically changed, and Xiao Hua hadn't returned.
Han Xiu Jie, Tang Yi, and Zhao Ye looked at each other. None of them spoke.
They all knew about Xiao Zui's situation and were somewhat worried about Xiao Hua. But while they were worried, they didn't know how to offer comfort.
Their eyes turned to Bai Mu.
Bai Mu sighed and turned to Han Xiu Jie, "Xiu Jie, check the surveillance of City C, focusing on the roads from C University to here."
"Sure thing," Han Xiu Jie agreed without asking why and began fiddling with his computer.
Impatient Zhao Ye hurriedly blurted out, "Bro Bai, shouldn't you be comforting the boss? Why..."
Xiao Zui glanced at him, and Zhao Ye fell silent.
Bai Mu looked out the window helplessly, thinking, "Where are their heads?
The surroundings have drastically changed, and we know nothing.
Xiao Hua said she had a bad premonition last night and told Xiao Zui that if something happened, he only needed to wait for her here. What does that mean?
It means she knows more than we do and likely has superpowers, capable of protecting herself.
If Xiao Zui can have lightning powers, it's reasonable that Xiao Hua also has powers."
Xiao Zui was about to say something, but Bai Mu cut him off, "If I'm not wrong, she's already on her way back. So, I asked Xiu Jie to check the surveillance. Maybe we'll find Xiao Hua."
After finishing his detailed analysis, Bai Mu smiled and asked Xiao Zui, "Understood?"
Xiao Zui: "..."
After this detailed analysis, Xiao Zui had calmed down and sat on the sofa, waiting for Han Xiu Jie's findings.
Tang Yi, Zhao Ye: "..."
Bro Bai is impressive!
Actually, as the captain of the team, Xiao Zui was calm and rational enough. But since he and Xiao Hua were nominal siblings, almost like family, it was natural for him to be worried and thus anxious.
"Captain Xiao, Bro Bai," a short while later, Han Xiu Jie looked up from his computer, "I've found the surveillance footage. Come and take a look."
Xiao Zui and Bai Mu exchanged glances and walked over to the computer, with Tang Yi and Zhao Ye following closely behind.
In a certain segment of the surveillance footage.
A white car was driving on the road. Three huddled zombies blocked the path ahead. With the zombies right in front, the car suddenly accelerated and crashed into them.
As soon as the car hit the zombies, a black-clad figure quickly darted out of the car, revealing herself to be a girl.
The girl raised her hand, using something to hook the zombie, then yanked, severing its head; with another wave of her hand, she emitted a blue light that shielded her from the remaining zombies.
...
While watching the surveillance, Zhao Ye still felt like joking: "Are all girls this fierce nowadays?"
Xiao Zui watched the replay again and finally identified: "That’s my sister."
Seemingly answering Zhao Ye’s question, Xiao Zui added: "Father told me that when Aunt Chen and Xiao Hua lived together, Xiao Hua used to drive away the thugs."
Tang Yi, Zhao Ye, and Han Xiu-jie: "..."
So why were you so nervous just now?
Recalling Brother bai’s earlier guess, they all looked at him, their faces clearly saying: 'White Brother, you’re amazing!'
...
Half an hour later,
"Stop, we’ve arrived," Xiao Hua said, comparing the map on her phone to make sure they had reached their destination.
Su Mo was still somewhat disappointed, "We’re already here? So soon?!"
Xiao Hua nodded and gave Su Mo a straightforward compliment, "We worked well together; you were great."
Su Mo: Hehe.
The two walked into the villa. The scattered zombie corpses along the way indicated a recent battle, and the fatal head wounds revealed the use of guns.
Xiao Hua entered and called upstairs, "Brother! You’re back?"
"Xiao Hua!"
