Chapter 520: Condition

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

In front of the building's gate were some vehicles for material transportation, but some were too far away. Only three vehicles were parked close to them. The three vehicles together with Zhang Hai and Sun Kun's military-grade vehicle were barely enough.

The available soldiers rushed into the three vehicles under the protection of others. Then, they drove the three vehicles back to the gate.

Wan Lan was ordering all the survivors to queue in the hall. She did so because she wanted her sister to report her contribution to the higher-ups. Because of her conflict with Jiang Liushi, she had been transferred to a terrible department. She hoped to get promoted again because of her meritorious service. She even dreamed about getting into a higher position. In her heart, Wan Lan was thanking the mutant beasts for appearing.

"They can get on the three vehicles now, but our soldiers will have to drive, so it leaves only four people to protect the vehicles. It's impossible for us to fight against those monsters with our current gear. We need your help, Captain Jiang,

" said the leading official sincerely. After all, the mutant birds were too fast.

"No problem. But I have a condition,

" replied Jiang Liushi.

'What? A condition?' Wan Lan snickered inside. It was a simple task, but Jiang Liushi still had a condition? Naturally, she didn't express her dissatisfaction openly.

The leading officer nodded.

"Captain Jiang, what's your condition? You're not obliged to help us as your help is already more than enough. Thank you.

"

"Actually, my condition is quite simple,

" said Jiang Liushi while turning to look at Wan Lan.

"I don't want to protect this woman.

"

"Eh?

" The leading official, as well as everyone else, was stunned. Suddenly, they all looked at Wan Lan. Even Wan Lan was shocked by Jiang Liushi's condition.

"Why? How can you do this to me?

" asked Wan Lan immediately.

"What do you mean? You can't do this!

"

"Why not?

" replied Jiang Zhuying with a broad smile.

"I am an officer! Moreover, I've given you all the materials! It's true that we had a little misunderstanding in the past, you can't do this! If you don't take me with you, I'll die!

" said Wan Lan anxiously.

"Everyone, please take a stance! Why have I to be left behind? I helped all of you! I even helped him, how can he do this?

" asked Wan Lan.

"Really now? And how exactly did you help everyone here?

" asked Jiang Zhuying, laughing. It was like she had heard the funniest joke.

Wan Lan had done nothing more than boss them around. As for organizing them in a queue, it was nothing important. Whether she had contributed or not, none of them were fools. They had witnessed the soldiers that had acted when they were needed. What had Wan Lan, a senior officer, done? She had escaped on the second floor to hide! She hadn't fought alongside her comrades-in-arms, so how could they stand up for her now?

"Didn't you see me trying my best to organize the survivors?

" screamed Wan Lan.

"Oh? Didn't you do that because you had your own agenda? Like boosting your career?

" Jiang Zhuying took that opportunity and pointed out.

"No! That's not why I did that!

" Wan Lan barked.

Upon hearing that she would be left behind, Wan Lan started to speak without thinking. After Jiang Zhuying completely revealed her thoughts in a single sentence, Wan Lan felt that the soldiers were looking at her somewhat differently. They couldn't accept that while they were putting their lives on the line, she was playing petty tricks behind their back. Not to mention that it wasn't difficult to have her sister get promoted instead of them.

As Wan Lan saw that nobody was trying to help her, she started looking at the survivors, one by one. Unfortunately, they all averted their gazes. They were unwilling to help her. Without Jiang Liushi's escort, they could not escape that place safely.

"Jiang Liushi, are you still a man!? Why do you do this!?

" Wan Lan was getting more and more desperate.

Jiang Liushi replied faintly,

"No reason. I just don't want to help you.

" In the end, it depended on Jiang Liushi if he'd save someone or not.

Originally, Jiang Liushi had wanted to rush upstairs and argue with her for her unreasonable attitude. How could he be willing to save her now?

The leading officer also looked at Wan Lan, but he remained silent. He knew about Wan Lan's nasty character and that sooner or later she'd bring trouble to herself.

"Everyone! Get on the three vehicles quickly! One by one! Send the wounded first!

" shouted the leading officer.

"You can't do this! You can't do this!

" Wan Lan rushed out like a madman, but she was stopped by the crowd spontaneously. She also wanted to rush at Jiang Liushi's side, but after noticing his cold eyes, she was scared and stopped. Then, Wan Lan ran crazily among all the people, desperately watching them as they were boarding on the vehicles.

"I wish you all die under the mutant birds' claws! I want the underground mutant beasts to give you slow and painful deaths!

" Wan Lan hysterically yelled. Then, she rushed to the crack in the ground, screaming out loudly.

"Come out! They are going to leave!

"

Jiang Liushi looked at Wan Lan and shook his head.

"If you run to the second floor to hide, maybe you can wait until the rescue team arrives. But if you do that, there goes your last chance to survive! Remember, you have only yourself to blame.

"

Wan Lan's body turned stiff as she vaguely felt the ground under her feet trembling.

Jiang Liushi let Wang Shiqi board his minibus, and then they departed.

"Set off!

"

"Aaaaaaaah!!!!

" Wan Lan screamed hysterically again. Her hysterical scream accompanied the departing minibus.

In front of the minibus were three military trucks and a military-grade off-road vehicle. Those cars were carrying several living people, which immediately caught the mutant birds' attention.

Whistling sounds reverberated through the air.

'To all vehicles! Keep driving at full speed. You don't need to pay attention to the mutant birds,' Ran Xiyu transmitted Jiang Liushi's order to everyone.

The leading officer was worried after receiving the order. Was it possible?

Finally, he decided and ordered,

"Follow Captain Jiang's order!

" Without Jiang Liushi, they had already suffered unimaginable losses!

"Ying, launch the gunner room. Zhuying, come with me,

" ordered Jiang Liushi.

At the same time, Ying stepped on the accelerator as hard as she could. The minibus' engine released a roaring sound, and the minibus caught up with the other vehicles.

Several mutant birds let out shrill cries before diving down. Simultaneously, gunshots sounded, and two mutant birds crashed on the ground, but two other birds had reached one of the military trucks. The driver was drenched in sweat. He couldn't help but turn the steering wheel to try and avoid the two monsters.

At that moment, Ran Xiyu's voice sounded in the driver's mind, ' Continue driving at full speed! Don't worry about anything else!'

"Really?

" The driver was still worried.

Upon hearing the screams and cries from the survivors behind, the driver gritted his teeth and tried his utmost best to ignore the monsters. He stepped on the gas and grabbed the steering wheel firmly with both hands, looking straight ahead.

Jiang Liushi's team would deal with everything!

Suddenly, a dazzling net of electricity shone above his head. As the minibus was fast approaching, a girl appeared from the UFO-shaped room on top of the minibus, manipulating the electrical net.

At that moment, Jiang Liushi took the opportunity to shoot again. Following the gunshot, a black shadow slammed on the truck's roof before falling on the ground motionlessly.

Everyone witnessed the sci-fi-like scene. It was so breathtaking that their hearts beat like crazy. Although they were in grave danger, and a little mistake could kill them all, they were also excited.

Only now did the leading officer understand Jiang Liushi's plan, He was using the minibus as a mobile fort!

They only needed to drive while the minibus would swerve between them, helping them to fend off the monsters' attacks. Fortunately, be it Ying or Zhang Hai, they both had extremely high driving skills and could make accurate judgments. As a result, Jiang Liushi's team not only could escape without breaking a sweat but also assist the convoy. Everyone thought that the Shi Ying Squad was their lucky star. They all noticed that instead of praying and crying, it would be better to cheer for the Shi Ying Squad!

"Shi Ying Squad! Make the miracle happen! Kill the f*cking beasts!

" shouted someone. Then, everyone followed that man's lead and started cheering.

"Shi Ying Squad! Kill the monsters!

" they all chanted rhythmically.

After some time, the leading officer led the convoy to an underground parking lot. As the vehicles rushed in the parking lot, the mutant birds let out angry cries. They were unwilling to leave their prey escape, but all they could do was fly back in the sky.

The underground parking lot had been transformed into a shelter after the Safety Zone's establishment. Some soldiers were outside, guarding. As soon as the convoy stopped, someone rushed to their side, asking about the situation outside. After being informed, he led the survivors to the upper lever through a staircase. The windows upstairs were barricaded.

"How did you escape?

" asked an officer in surprise.
