The creaking sound of the doorknob reached Luo Xiaole's ears.
Her sleep was instantly broken.
She furrowed her brows, her gaze shifting several times.
Since her stiffness hadn't triggered anything, it shouldn't be a zombie outbreak.
But someone secretly sneaking into someone's room at home was likely not a good person either!
She guessed it was other survivors trying to steal something. She lifted the chair beside her, intending to give them a warning.
The doorknob finally turned.
The door slowly opened.
Luo Xiaole was stunned. Outside were several soldiers from the day!
They weren't holding guns at the moment, only a few bundles of ropes, clearly intending to tie people up!
Luo Xiaole was startled and slammed the chair onto the ground.
The loud noise immediately woke everyone from their sleep.
Seeing the strange scene at the door, they all froze.
The soldiers at the door also froze.
"Damn it, why are there so many people in this room? Didn't they say to only grab two or three people? Who are they trying to tie up?" one soldier said to his companions without reservation.
Hearing their unbridled discussion, Luo Xiaole and the others had already silently reached into their pockets, preparing to pull out their weapons.
"Why hasn't Brother Cheng made a move yet? It's hard to tie up so many people!"
Brother Cheng!
Upon hearing this name, Luo Xiaole's eyes narrowed. Was it the Brother Cheng who was involved with the Green Dragon Gang?
Why would he be here?
She instantly thought of the last vehicle that entered the base last night.
Had Brother Cheng been following them all along?
Otherwise, why would Brother Cheng show up as soon as they arrived at the base...
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt a strange force pressing down on them from above, as if all their strength had been instantly drained.
Others watched helplessly as their bodies slowly collapsed, falling to the ground.
Damn it!
What kind of strange ability was this? It could drain all the strength from their bodies!
Luo Xiaole, however, frowned. She had seen it clearly.
At that moment, the room was filled with the same green gas as the protective shield.
Then her companions suddenly fell in large numbers, losing consciousness and passing out...
But the soldiers, for some unknown reason, were completely unaffected.
Also unaffected was Luo Xiaole!
She was still standing at the door, neither drained of strength nor fallen...
"Holy crap, what's going on with this girl? Why isn't she falling after being hit by Brother Cheng's ability? How are we supposed to tie her up!"
"Are you afraid of such a skinny twig? Just go up and tie her up!
"Right, tie her first!
The soldier rushed forward, intending to grab Luo Xiaole's arm.
This time, the opponent's movements were extremely swift, giving Luo Xiaole no chance to react.
Thinking of Mo Shen's usual swift movements, she retreated, then mimicked his stance and sidestepped.
She actually managed to evade him, but lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Seeing his target missed, the soldier was taken aback.
The other soldiers lost their patience. Three or four of them squeezed into the room, intending to capture Luo Xiaole first.
Three of them forcefully lifted her, immediately binding her arms.
Luo Xiaole was immobilized, taken out like a little chick.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a piercing sound came from behind.
A small silver dagger flew out abruptly, grazing a soldier's arm. The man instantly bled profusely, clutching his arm and howling, releasing Luo Xiaole.
"Damn it! How is anyone still awake!" They had heard from Brother Cheng that these people were strange, but they didn't expect them to be so strange!
Luo Xiaole turned and saw Mo Shen's face pale, his deep pupils fixedly staring in their direction. The wound on his shoulder, as if cut by a sharp blade, had reopened. Bright red blood stained the bedsheet in a large patch!
Luo Xiaole was shocked, Mo Shen, he...
Had he cut his wound with a dagger after Brother Cheng released his ability, using the intense pain to keep himself awake?
All for her protection?
She was utterly stunned.
Then, she also turned around abruptly. Her body was naturally petite, and with a few quick movements, she twisted free from the ropes that hadn't been tied tightly enough, wriggling out of their grasp.
However, her struggle left several shocking red marks on her body.
"These people cannot be left alive," Mo Shen, covered in cold sweat, uttered a few words, clearly reaching his limit.
Luo Xiaole gritted her teeth and understood. Although these people were soldiers, the situation at the base tonight had clearly shown that this was no longer a base that protected people...
If these people were with that Brother Cheng, they had likely committed many wicked deeds using their authority within the base.
Moreover, for now, it was just ropes. If the news that Brother Cheng's ability was ineffective against her spread...
The hidden dangers were endless.
Luo Xiaole didn't hesitate. She quickly took out the strawberry bear costume from her pocket and swiftly put it on.
Then she took out a thumbtack from her pocket and advanced towards the group.
Startled by the dagger, they had just come to their senses when a giant strawberry bear suddenly appeared before their eyes.
They suddenly drew several silenced pistols from their waists and unleashed a barrage of fire towards the strange strawberry bear!
Unexpectedly, "Bang, bang, bang!" their frantic shots against the surface of the strawberry bear actually failed to penetrate.
The bullets strangely fell to the ground, pinging and clattering.
"Ghost... Ghost!" they screamed.
They knew that all abilities were now suppressed by Brother Cheng's shield, yet this strawberry bear could actually block bullets...
This... this was not human at all!
Luo Xiaole forced them to the window ledge and with a sudden wave of her right hand, as if throwing something!
Startled, the group retreated a large step backward!
They fell directly off the balcony.
Headfirst, they splattered upon landing...
Luo Xiaole quickly looked down.
Those three had died cleanly and swiftly...
Fearing that people in the surrounding dormitories would come out and see something, she dared not linger on the window ledge.
She quickly took off the strawberry bear costume and returned to the room.
It was only then that she saw the green mist dissipate, and the others, clutching their heads, began to wake up.
Seeing the numerous bullets on the ground, they all froze for a moment.
Seeing Mo Shen on the bed, gritting his teeth with pale lips, they froze again.
Zhou Xiaojun and Luo Shu instantly understood what had happened.
But Lin Xia and the mother had identical expressions of utter confusion.
Had there just been a shootout?
...
Meanwhile, across the way, Brother Cheng, swirling his wine glass, felt a sense of unease for some unknown reason.
Judging by the time, those people should have been captured and brought back by now.
Why was there no movement?
He scowled fiercely.
He felt a twinge of unease.
Especially that exceptionally delicate little sprout who, despite everything, always emerged unscathed.
She made him feel particularly uneasy.
