As the scanning laser covered the entire magnetic card, a window quickly popped up on the computer screen, displaying the information of the drunk man from before!
The soldier clicked on the screen, looking back and forth between Zheng Minghui and the photo. Finally, he picked up the magnetic card but did not return it to the other party. Instead, he questioned, "Where did you get this card?"
With the soldier’s words, all the other soldiers maintaining order around simultaneously raised their laser weapons, pointing them at Zheng Minghui!
"I... I..." Zheng Minghui was completely frozen. Clearly, when the previous owner of the magnetic card was holding it and asked for cola, the soldier didn’t even question it. Why was it different for him?
He couldn’t answer the question. With countless laser weapons targeting him, despite being a Level 6 New Human, he couldn’t guarantee surviving under Cloud Gorge Base’s high-end weapons!
The soldier in the store looked at the magnetic card for a while, then held it up vertically in front of Zheng Minghui, sneering, "Stolen from soone else, huh? Heh, you guys are bold. Do you know what this card ans?"
"What... what does it an?" At this ti, Zheng Minghui’s muscles tensed up, the light at the muzzles of the soldiers’ laser weapons began to flash fiercely, and he vaguely sensed a warning from deep within his genes.
The weapons in the soldiers’ hands posed a threat to him!
But he didn’t dare move, not knowing what to do next, only trying to stall for ti. He was filled with regret, recalling his recent actions, realizing that as death drew nearer, he had unconsciously beco so bold just to survive!
The soldier didn’t explain anything to him, nor did he care to. After collecting the magnetic card, he waved a hand, but at the sa ti, not far away, Shen Mingke finally rembered sothing, his eyes brightening, but seeing Zheng Minghui in danger made him anxious again.
"F*ck!"
He shouted, attracting quite a few people’s attention. Soon, he accelerated, using the physical prowess of a Level 6 New Human to push through the crowd, with the surrounding soldiers simultaneously pressing the firing buttons, beams of laser shooting out! Despite Zheng Minghui’s quick reflexes, there were too many, and a few lasers struck him!
Boom!
Explosions of fire sent Zheng Minghui’s body flying sideways with terrifying force, like a missile crossing the road! In the next second, he crashed through a building. Quickly, Shen Mingke charged over like a human tank, the whirlwind raised by his rapid movent knocking over more than a dozen soldiers!
Amidst the distant billowing smoke, Zheng Minghui groaned in pain, looking at his mangled waist. He took a deep breath and, bearing the intense pain, managed to stand up. He shouted towards Shen Mingke, "Old Shen, let’s go!"
Seeing Zheng Minghui wasn’t dead, Shen Mingke breathed a sigh of relief. Having shared life and death with this guy, practically being like brothers for years, losing him suddenly would truly have felt strange.
He didn’t dare hesitate, powering his legs to barrel out of the soldiers’ encirclent again, pulling Zheng Minghui by the clothes as they sprinted in a certain direction.
From another direction, several high-level New Humans, sensing the commotion, quickly ca over to support. With their strength, there was no way the two could escape, but they all seed to receive an order and stopped chasing soon after.
[The target individuals have been basically identified, they’re just two cowards, not high-level zombies.]
[Did you find out any information about them?]
[Yes, one is called Zheng Minghui, the other is Shen Mingke, both from Lin City in S Province. They twice forged death certificates to escape conscription and entered Cloud Gorge Base, likely just got into so trouble outside and had to flee here.]
[Sigh, seems like they’re really just two useless guys, I was hoping to get info on other zombies from them, oh well, as long as they’re not zombies.]
[Do we need to capture them both?]
[No, bringing them back won’t... Yes, understood.]
"Team leader, what’s wrong? Did the higher-ups say sothing?"
In the packed crowd, a person codenad "Mud Snake" squeezed out while touching his earpiece, observing around as he called out to the leader in charge of this action, who didn’t respond further. But soon, a young male voice ca through, sowhat cold.
[Even useless ones can be repurposed, keep tracking those two and locate their hideout, I’ll co personally.]
Hearing this voice, the previously nonchalant Mud Snake imdiately showed a stern expression and nodded heavily.
[Received!]
[Received!]
[...]
anwhile, the two relaxed seeing no one pursued them and returned to the street. Shen Mingke kept running, making Zheng Minghui complain, "Can you slow down? That hurt like hell just now! F*ck!"
"You hurry the f*ck up!"
"Where are you going?"
"Looking for soone?"
"Huh? Who are you looking for?" Zheng Minghui asked, puzzled.
"Do you rember Boss Hua?"
"Boss Hua? What’s up, isn’t he dead already?"
"No, when we just ca to Cloud Gorge Base, we were with Boss Hua for a short ti. Didn’t soone steal Boss Hua’s optical component?"
"Oh, you an that thief?"
"Yes!"
"What was his na again, I only rember that bastard’s surna was Zhao. You want to focus on him..." Zheng Minghui rubbed his chin, having little impression of the person Shen Mingke ntioned, only vaguely threatening him by leveraging Boss Hua’s influence when they first arrived at Cloud Gorge Base.
Thinking back, it was quite pleasant, abusing the power of a big shot was incredibly enjoyable!
But now, recalling it makes Zheng Minghui a bit fearful. They dared to threaten that guy nad Zhao because they were utterly clueless about his background. Who could’ve guessed that Nangong Mingwen, one of the eleven surviving council mbers from Su Sigui’s ordeal, would turn out to be his brother-in-law?
Upon further thought, Zheng Minghui quickly understood why Shen Mingke focused on this Zhao guy, because he had an underground base hidden sowhere in Cloud Gorge Base, holding so secrets. In the past, those secrets might have been harmless, but in today’s world...
Offending the mayor is no small matter...
"Are you sure that person’s staying there?" Zheng Minghui questioned not long after.
"I’m not sure, but it’s the only thing we can do now, we can only go there and try our luck."
