"No matter, just dig a hole and bury it quickly," the team leader said, pulling out a pen to mark the skeleton for covering with soil. He then quickly left with a few subordinates.
At that mont, behind a tree in the distance, Alex leaned against a post, breathing deeply. Despite Bell's use of a poison needle to subdue the enemy and montarily halt the fierce battle, Alex was still drained of a lot of energy and stamina. He needed so ti to recuperate.
"Vroom—"
Before he could collect himself, he suddenly heard the roar of engines. Alex turned his head and saw three black Humrs speeding towards him, all with red license plates. The windows rolled down, revealing six ard n and won, wearing earplugs and holding submachine guns, approaching with an imposing presence.
Alex's eyelids twitched, thinking these people must be from the authorities. He quickly pulled Bell into a nearby bush. However, before they could hide properly, a woman in black had already raised her submachine gun.
"Stop!" she commanded, the gun aid at Bell and Alex.
Alex cursed under his breath, not expecting to run into acquaintances here. He could only stop and look at the approaching figure. The mont he saw the woman's face, his body froze. Beautiful, alluring, cold, aloof, domineering—wasn't this the mistress of the First Manor in the South?
Alex never thought he would encounter this woman here. But on second thought, it made sense. Bell was once the head of the Southern Chamber of Comrce and had been expelled from the First Manor by Tang Ruoxue, making it plausible that she would be developing abroad.
"Who are you?"
By now, the woman in black had lowered her submachine gun, her pretty face remaining vigilant as she looked at Bell.
"What are you doing trespassing in a restricted area?" Her eyes flashed with hostility, seemingly suspecting Bell of having a conspiracy, as Blood Dragon Park only allowed family mbers and no outsiders.
Bell responded calmly, "I'm here to save soone."
The woman in black's tone turned cold, "Save soone? There's no one here you can save."
"Not only is it heavily guarded with various traps and deadly formations, but the Four Guardians of Blood Dragon Park are also stationed here."
"You, a small fry, dare to trespass here? It's simply overestimating yourself."
"You'd better leave imdiately; otherwise, not only will you fail to save anyone, but you'll also get yourself killed."
"Don't think that just because you're skilled and can take down a few people, you can rampage through Blood Dragon Park."
She warned, "That's impossible."
Bell's voice was calm, "I'm here to save soone, even if it ans dying."
"Then you leave no choice," the woman in black snorted, pulling out her phone and shouting, "Blood Dragon Park is heavily guarded; trespassers will die!"
Bell ignored her, holding a silver needle as he surveyed the surroundings, contemplating how to break through the encirclent.
"You really have a death wish!" Seeing Bell disregard her, the woman in black was furious. She drew a long sword and lunged at him. The sword glead nacingly.
Bell narrowed his eyes slightly, his right hand shooting out like lightning to strike.
The woman in black sneered, fearlessly eting his strike head-on.
"Smack!"
The sound of their palms clashing was sharp and resonant. The next mont, the woman in black was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing five or six ters away.
Her mouth twitched in disbelief, her face full of shock. She had thought she could crush Bell, but unexpectedly, she was the one injured by him.
"Whoosh!"
Without hesitation, Bell grabbed an iron rod and swung it fiercely at the woman in black's head. The blow was swift and powerful.
"Bang!"
The woman's pupils contracted sharply. She gritted her teeth and pulled a handgun from her coat. When Bell saw the gun, he was stunned; these people really had no sense of honor.
By the ti Alex arrived, he saw the tension between the two and imdiately felt overwheld. "We're all on the sa side; there's no need for this life-and-death struggle." He coughed and stepped forward, "Besides, we're in a dangerous situation right now, and we should be working together."
Alex knew Bell and the woman in black belonged to special ability groups and believed that if he diated, they would surely make peace. After all, no one wanted to provoke an elite team.
"Who are you?" Bell recognized Alex but didn't know much about him, so her eyes were filled with suspicion.
The woman in black also lowered her gun and stared at Alex, asking, "What's your na?"
"I'm Alex." He smiled warmly. "I saw you fighting and thought neither of you should stay here. While this base isn't entirely safe, it's better than being outside. If you don't mind, you can co back and stay with for a while. As for food, I guarantee there's plenty."
He added, "Don't worry, I'm definitely not a bad person."
Hearing Alex's words, Bell's face turned slightly cold, "Hmph! Why should I trust you?"
"Because..." Alex exhaled deeply, "I don't want to stay here either. We're all innocent people trapped here for so reason. We live in constant fear of zombie attacks, worried that we could lose our lives at any mont."
"And not only is the environnt of this base terrible, but there are also nurous zombies, and frequent outbreaks of conflict. We've really had enough of it." He finished with a very aggrieved expression.
Bell frowned slightly at his words. She had seen a lot in her ti, but she had never encountered a man like this, acting almost like a resentful woman. The woman in black, however, spoke coldly, "I don't trust you."
"Sister, I'm really not lying to you. I don't know why we're trapped here either, but that's the reality." Alex sighed, "Actually, by taking you out of here, I'm also repaying a debt of gratitude."
"Are you a doctor?" Bell asked, "A doctor who treats people?"
"Yes, I'm a doctor. My na is Alex." Alex nodded gently, looking at Bell with goodwill, "Beautiful sister, please give one minute. I'll prove I'm not lying."
"Alright, convince ." Bell hesitated for a mont, then put away her weapon and stepped back a few paces, allowing Alex to demonstrate his skills.
The woman in black paid no more attention to Bell but stood at a distance, staring at Alex, her eyes gleaming.
"Thank you, beautiful sister! Just wait a mont!" Alex smiled, then picked up a nearby stone and stomped his left foot on the floor.
"Crack!"
The hard rock imdiately shattered.
"Swish!"
Next, Alex swept his right foot, sending the shattered stone shooting towards the woman in black. The speed was incredible, and the threat was evident.
The woman's eyelids twitched as she instinctively dodged. The stone brushed past her ear and embedded itself in the wall behind her.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Seizing the opportunity, Alex raised his right hand, and three silver needles shot out. The sound of the needles piercing the air was sharp and piercing, and the woman in black reflexively tilted her head to avoid them.
The three silver needles brushed past her forehead and landed on the ground with a crisp clinking sound, displaying their sharpness.
"Whoosh!"
In the mont the woman in black was dodging the needles, Alex's figure flashed as he charged in front of her. His right hand ford a fist and struck hard towards her chest. The sudden attack was as swift as thunder, leaving no room for evasion. The woman in black could only block with her arm.
"Bang!"
Their arms collided, and Alex felt like he had hit a steel plate, his arms tingling from the impact. The woman in black grunted, stumbling back with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She stared at Alex in stunned disbelief.
"Smack!"
Alex backhanded her across the face, hitting her so hard that she tumbled head over heels five or six tis before landing on the ground. Without pausing, Alex stepped forward, grabbed her by the collar, and shouted:
The woman in black laughed angrily, "You dare hit ?"
"Smack!"
Alex slapped her again. "So what if I hit you? I'm in a foul mood tonight."
The woman in black got up, clutching her cheek, and glared at Alex, shouting, "Bastard, I'll kill you."
Before she could finish, Alex kicked her in the stomach. She quickly raised her left hand to block.
"Crack!"
The sound of breaking bones echoed. The woman in black scread and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach in pain.
"I warned you not to bully Sister Hongyan," Alex said, slowly approaching and stepping on her shoulder.
The woman in black struggled to speak, "You scoundrel, you dare cripple my hand?"
"I not only dare to cripple your hand, but I also dare to kill you." Alex looked down at her. "Want to try?"
"Do you dare?" she retorted. "There are so many zombies here. If you kill , you'll be a fool and a criminal."
She shouted with false bravado, "If I die, the whole base won't let you off."
"Smack!"
Alex slapped her again, knocking out her teeth.
Alex looked at the woman in black and sneered. He then kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying out of the second-floor corridor. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fled into the car, terrified.
Bell and her companions were stunned, clearly not expecting Alex to be so fierce. But rembering his explanation, they understood—he was a madman after all.
Bell walked over to help the woman in black and said, "Doctor, you were too reckless."
"I know it's dangerous here, and I'm willing to cooperate with you to leave, but you shouldn't have hurt her. After all, we're in this together." She hesitated, advising, "By hitting her, you've made us enemies."
Although she didn't like the woman in black, she preferred her over the monsters outside.
"I didn't an anything by it, I just didn't want to see her bully you." Alex smiled warmly. "If we survive, I will definitely thank you properly."
