Chapter 31 p1
No one knew if he had died of anger.
When this person fell, everyone was shocked. Then someone shouted, “Doctor, quick, find a doctor!”
The scene became even more chaotic.
Especially when someone quickly ran over and shouted at the top of their lungs, “The doctors have all run away! There’s no one left!”
“Building 16 is empty!”
At this moment, the high-level members of the Juri Base immediately realized the true purpose of this riot. While trying to find a doctor, they also ordered people to chase after the escaped researchers.
Ji Yang still came out according to the time. The explosion wouldn’t last too long. After the gasoline burned, the spreading speed was very fast. The things she had left behind could probably last for ten minutes at most.
Of course, there were also two unopened warehouses. She didn’t know the situation, but she estimated that it was probably impossible to blow up a whole building.
Therefore, she came out at the eleven-minute mark.
Before she came out, she had specially entered a survival pod in her space. The moment she went out, she also threw a smoke bomb to prevent herself from being exposed if the smoke was not enough. She was highly concentrated, thinking that if there was a special situation, she would quickly flash back. Fortunately, the scene she had imagined did not happen. She had taken away most of the ammunition, and the building was still standing.
It was just that the surroundings were filled with smoke, and there were still some sounds of fighting from the front and back. But compared to the previous explosion, it could be said to be a whisper.
She immediately came out of the survival pod and put the survival pod back into her space. She realized that the smoke was particularly choking. She was still having difficulty breathing even with a gas mask on.
But it also meant that it was very safe.
She couldn’t see others, and others couldn’t see her either.
Ji Yang felt that she should run, but the two successes made her adrenaline soar at this moment. And at this moment, in the front right, if she listened carefully, she could still hear a group of people talking, obviously in a state of panic.
She took out the rocket launcher she had prepared long ago and fired it in the estimated direction with a “boom!”.
“Ah!” another tragic scream.
Ji Yang couldn’t see, but she could imagine the collapsed situation over there.
Having a space is so satisfying!
In her previous five years, she had participated in many missions, and each time she had been extremely cautious.
She was afraid that if she showed a flaw, she would be directly gg’d. Now, a pile of weapons was stored in her space, all adjusted to a state where they could be fired at any time. If she wanted one, she could just take it out, and it could be successfully fired in less than a second.
Ji Yang almost couldn’t bear to leave.
But she still suppressed her restless little heart. No, I can’t be too arrogant. It’s easy for things to go wrong!
After lecturing herself a few times, Ji Yang quietly fumbled her way to the main gate and went to the side. When she reached the back of Building 7, she immediately started to run. It was worth mentioning that it had been almost twenty minutes since Xie Muzhi and the others had run away, so there were not many people in the back.
But there were still a few who had slipped through the net.
Ji Yang had only run two steps when she was spotted by someone with sharp eyes.
The person was a little hesitant, perhaps not sure if she was a friend or an enemy.
Just as he was about to speak.
Suddenly, a pain shot through his forehead, and he fell down straight.
Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to run. She definitely couldn’t go to the front. There were the most people there. If she wanted to leave here, she could only go to the place that had been broken through in the back.
But she didn’t know the situation in the back either and kept observing along the way.
She ran and hid, and also had to kill people along the way.
It was very tiring.
Finally seeing the blasted wall, Ji Yang was overjoyed. Just as she was about to rush over, the roar of an engine came from far to near, accompanied by the occasional sound of grenade explosions and the screams of the pursuers.
And a familiar snowmobile appeared in front of her, as well as the man on the motorcycle.
The familiar white cold-proof suit, his whole body was wrapped up tightly, not a single bit of skin could be seen, but it was just exceptionally familiar!
“Xie Muzhi!” Ji Yang shouted.
Xie Muzhi glanced at her side, immediately turned the direction, and with a drift, the motorcycle stopped handsomely in front of her. He reached out his hand to her. “Get on!”
Ji Yang didn’t say much. She used his hand to jump on. Before she could sit firmly, the car rushed out again. She was thrown back by the inertia and suddenly reached out to hug the man in front of her by the waist. Through the thick clothes, she actually didn’t feel anything, but in that instant, she clearly felt the person in front of her stiffen. He didn’t even have time to turn and almost hit a wall.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the front of the car turned, and there was another extreme side slip.
“Drive steadily!” Ji Yang couldn’t help but shout in his ear. If something happened at this critical moment, she would be furious.
The person driving did not say anything, but silently concentrated his spirit, looking at the road ahead, twisting and turning to bypass the pursuers, and escaping.
The few people who had just dodged a grenade attack and were lying on the ground, not daring to get up, only hesitantly raised their heads.
A motorcycle directly passed by them, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust fumes.
“Quick! They ran away! Quick, chase!”
Someone reacted and rushed up in a huff.
But the speed of a person was still no match for a motorcycle. The driver had long since run ahead to chase the main group, so in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared from the sight of these few people.
The fresh air made breathing smooth. Ji Yang let go of her hand that was hugging Xie Muzhi and took a deep breath of the clean air. Just as she was happy for two seconds, she was stabbed in the throat by the biting cold, and it hurt.
She immediately shrank her neck, took off her gas mask, and habitually wanted to put it in her hiking backpack. Suddenly, she found that her hiking backpack had been put in her space when she was disguised as a person from the Juri Base.
When you go to get weapons to attack the enemy, you can’t still be carrying a big bag, right?
She could only hold it in her hand.
Without the gas mask, her eyebrows and eyes were directly exposed to the air. The cold made it impossible for her to open her eyes. She was hesitating whether to take out her goggles from her space or to just put on the gas mask again.
Xie Muzhi, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror, fumbled in his pocket, and handed something back. “Take it!”
His voice was very loud. Ji Yang happened to be behind him and heard it clearly. She directly reached out to take it and felt a pair of goggles.
This person’s things are really quite complete.
—
Ji Yang quickly put them on, and only then could she open her eyes. But she found that Xie Muzhi had not left this area, but was just circling around the Juri Base. When he had shaken off the pursuers behind him, he had found an alley and stopped, took off his goggles, and turned to look at her.
“Hmm?” Ji Yang was a little puzzled.
There seemed to be some fog on her goggles, and she couldn’t see his expression clearly. She only felt that his gaze was bright and hot.
It made her a little uncomfortable, and she looked away.
Xie Muzhi’s lips curved. He moved a little closer so that she could hear his voice. “Meng Jin and the others’ mission is to attract most of the attention, at all costs. But now that the two teachers have been successfully rescued, the people sent by the government only need them to be within a twenty-kilometer range to confirm their location, break through the checkpoint, and escort them out. I want to go and see. Will you wait for me here?”
Ji Yang thought of the few silent people in the team before and shook her head. “No need. Let’s go together.”
Xie Muzhi coughed lightly and then handed over a large bag from in front of him. “Okay, then this is for you.”
Ji Yang took it and looked. A bulletproof helmet, a heavy machine gun, a bunch of bullet chains, and the rest were all grenades, explosive packs, and the like.
Hmm…
He was waiting for her, wasn’t he?
Xie Muzhi needed to drive. He couldn’t just walk to save people. How could he have a hand to use a heavy machine gun?
Ji Yang looked at him deeply.
Xie Muzhi didn’t even turn his head.
He quickly twisted the throttle.
Ji Yang threw away the hat on her head, put on the bulletproof helmet, and hung the heavy machine gun on her body. She first fiddled with it. She had actually never touched this thing before. The previous missions didn’t require these, but she had specifically learned about them, and the usage methods were similar. She quickly confirmed how to fire.
After loading the bullet chain, she stared intently at the surroundings.

On the other side
As the team responsible for attracting firepower, Li Yinian and Zheng Shancheng were divided into two convoys, driving modified off-road vehicles, and provoked the main gate of the base, providing ample time for their teammates in the rear to escape.
The number of people was not large, but the firepower was sufficient. It was all the result of Xie Muzhi and the others’ transactions with the surrounding several bases, including the Juri Base, in the past few days. More than half of what could be used was left for them.
The two drivers in charge of driving flexibly drove the off-road vehicles and hovered at the main gate. The people in the car in charge of attacking fired one after another. As soon as they saw a moving figure, they would immediately kill it.
The Juri Base’s reaction was also very fast. Someone immediately led a team to besiege them.
The number of people was not small, and they all had sufficient ammunition.
Just as Zheng Shancheng and the others’ expressions were grim, a series of explosions occurred directly in the core area of the Juri Base.
For a time, the attackers hesitated and lost some of their momentum.
Something had happened to the main camp. This was no joke.
Then, a louder explosion sounded, and the ground seemed to tremble with it.
Someone shouted, “Holy crap, the armory has been blown up!”
“What’s going on? How could something happen to the armory!”
“Look in that direction, it’s Building 7. The grenades I just got were all from Building 7. The armory really has been blown up!”
The people of the Juri Base were in a panic. And on Zheng Shancheng’s side, an extremely beautiful voice also came from the headset: “Mission complete, you can retreat!”
Zheng Shancheng and the others were overjoyed. This was a hundred times easier than they had expected. They had originally thought that there would be no time to retreat at all. To hold back a base, and a base with sufficient hot weapons, the few of them could only contribute for a dozen minutes. Sacrifice was inevitable, but now they had a glimmer of hope.
For a time, everyone’s hearts were stirred, and they all shouted in unison, “Retreat!”
The front of the car turned in a different direction and headed out of Yun City.
But the reaction on the Juri Base’s side was also very fast. The base had been severely damaged, so naturally, they couldn’t just let it go. Not to mention the words that the base’s leader had said while spitting blood. For a time, the high-level members who had not yet made a move also all led their own teams to pursue.
The bounty also increased step by step to the point of one hundred jin of grain per head.
For a time, everyone’s blood was boiling.
But the group of people in the back had already run too far, so all the people who wanted to make a contribution were concentrated on the provocateurs at the main gate. The pressure on Zheng Shancheng and the others doubled. Two cars against the bombing of five cars behind them!
The disadvantage in numbers made it very difficult for Meng Jin and the others to fight back. Basically, as long as they showed their heads, all the firepower of the pursuing party would be concentrated on them. Even if their aim was not very good, it was still dangerous.
They were all fully equipped. Bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets protected their vital parts, but their limbs were all within the attack range. The people in charge of attacking could only attack for a wave in the gaps, or desperately throw grenades to stop the pursuit of this group of people.
If it weren’t for the fact that the two drivers were old drivers these past few days, something would have happened long ago.
But this was not their familiar territory after all. Even though the two of them had worked very hard to familiarize themselves with the roads of Yun City in the past two days, after about ten minutes, a car in front was blocked by an unexpected obstacle. The car was going too fast, and the ground was slippery. The car instantly lost control, flipped over, and then fell to the ground.
The first car fell, directly blocking the path of the second car. The second car braked urgently, and then gritted its teeth and passed through the gap between the first car and the wall. But because of this hesitation, two cars had already appeared in front to block the way.
The three cars behind them had already surrounded the first car and were shooting desperately. Even the modified off-road vehicle, under such a fierce attack, had its defense broken.
At this time, Zheng Shancheng appeared from the car window and shouted, “Fire here! Hurry up!!! I’m going to die with this group of people!”
In front of him were two explosive packs.
His own face, which was already covered in blood, was ferocious and scary. He couldn’t be seen clearly. After saying those two sentences, blood kept gushing out of his mouth.
Meng Jin and Li Yinian, who were in charge of shooting in the second car, held their breath. They had long expected this moment, but now they had thought that they could go back alive if they retreated early.
The situation did not allow them to think. In almost a breath, the two of them took a deep breath in unison, stared at the position of the explosive pack, and the machine guns in their hands fired “bang, bang, bang—”.
And the three cars behind them that were surrounding the first car also noticed that something was wrong. The driver turned the steering wheel and retreated.
The people in charge of attacking quickly pointed their guns at the two people who had come out to shoot.
Almost at the same time, the bullet hit the explosive pack. Meng Jin also felt as if a few holes had suddenly appeared on her body. She didn’t feel any pain, but the huge impact directly pushed her back, and she fell onto a box of explosives behind her.
And in front, the explosion came in an instant. Even though the three cars had desperately turned their steering wheels to escape, it was still too late. After the explosive pack exploded, it detonated all the ammunition in the car one after another. The shockwave produced directly sent the three surrounding cars flying, and a huge hole was blown in the ice and snow ground.
Li Yinian clutched his left arm, which had also been shot, and gasped for breath a few times. After the wound had frozen, he picked up his gun again and said in a hoarse voice, “Hold on, there are only two cars of opponents left!”
Meng Jin really wanted to nod, but one of the bullets had passed through her neck. The trickling blood flowed down and was quickly frozen by the low temperature. Her body was as if it had been stripped naked and appeared in the Antarctic. She was so cold that her whole body was stiff, and she couldn’t respond.
She didn’t think she could hold on.
*
When Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi arrived, they happened to be facing this explosion.
The two cars of the Juri Base were both stunned by this scene and temporarily stopped their attack.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Ji Yang first threw a smoke bomb, covering the three cars that were still relatively intact.
Soon, the drivers of Meng Jin and Li Yinian’s cars saw a smoke bomb in front of them. The thick smoke covered the vehicles so that they couldn’t be seen. Just as the driver was about to panic, a familiar command came from the headset: [There’s a position in the front right, charge out!]
The driver’s spirits were lifted. He quickly turned the steering wheel and then stepped on the accelerator.
The sound of the cars passing by also woke up the other two cars. Just as they were about to attack, a series of grenades came straight at them. They landed on the car at just the right time, and before they could roll off, they exploded.
The engines of the two cars were directly scrapped and could not be used.
They were completely stopped in place.
In a short period of time, the situation was instantly reversed.
Realizing that the other party had reinforcements, and a master at that, the people in the two cars immediately panicked. They had never thought that such a thing would happen. Five cars chasing two cars, they had a complete advantage in numbers and the number of cars. Who would have known that this group of people would actually dare to use such a suicidal method to die with them.
Now, with the thick smoke everywhere, the cars couldn’t be used, and they couldn’t escape. They decisively shouted at the top of their lungs, “Sorry, we were all forced. Don’t kill us! We are all from the same country. Don’t kill us!!!”
Some even got out of the car and knelt down to beg for mercy. “Please, I was forced. My wife and children are in their hands. Please…”
But more people desperately raised their weapons, knowing that they would not be spared. They all thought of killing one more if they could, wanting to aim at the other party’s reinforcements that had suddenly appeared.
But under the cover of the white fog, the faint red motorcycle figure was exceptionally agile, darting here and there, and giving them a burst of fire from time to time. Those who dared to fight were almost all dead. Only a few were left, shrinking their necks and hiding, begging for mercy.
After confirming that the other party was temporarily unable to fight back, Ji Yang patted Xie Muzhi.
The latter also instantly understood her meaning. The familiar roar of the engine circled around, and a few more grenades were added to the bottom of the two cars. Then, the accelerator was stepped on, and the motorcycle quickly left. The sound of the explosion behind them was deafening.
Then, the roar of the engine approached. The smiles of having survived a disaster that had just appeared on the faces of the three people in the car disappeared, and they looked over warily. A familiar voice came from the headset, “It’s me, Xie Muzhi.”
For a moment, the three of them all relaxed. Li Yinian leaned back, his pale face from blood loss filled with the relief of having survived a disaster.
Meng Jin, who was holding on, clutched the wound on her neck and struggled to look out the car window.
And she saw that besides Xie Muzhi on the motorcycle, there was also a person who looked very disheveled, as if they had just rolled around on a battlefield and were covered in gunpowder. They were a little smaller than Xie Muzhi and were currently holding a heavy machine gun that looked exceptionally large. They had rushed out of the smoke, and their whole body seemed to be carrying the smell of gunpowder.
Sensing her gaze, the person turned their head. Their tightly covered face couldn’t be seen, and their expression couldn’t be seen either. They only glanced at her and then turned their head away, so calm that she didn’t look like she had just been in a terrifying hot weapon firefight at all.
It was really her!
Meng Jin wanted to laugh. She could even recognize who it was like this.
But she couldn’t laugh.
The blizzard, extreme cold, and other natural disasters had destroyed their once beautiful home and the already excellent medical system. And it was at this time that Meng Jin was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The shadow of death loomed over her family, accompanied by increasingly scarce supplies and harsh conditions.
So, when she heard that a suicide squad was needed, she signed up without hesitation. At the very least, she had to leave something for her family so that they could live a better life in this difficult natural disaster.
It was just that she hadn’t expected the mission to come so quickly. After only half a month of training, it was time to carry out the mission.
At that time, she had lost her temper regardless of the occasion because she was going to die. She was scared, anxious, and flustered. She was even more worried that the mission would fail even if she died. She had reviewed the training content in her mind over and over, to ensure that she would not cause any problems for the entire mission due to her own reasons when she was attracting firepower. She had some talent. Her training time was the shortest, and her aim was the best, so she was chosen for this mission.
And for the mission she cared so much about, there was a teammate like Ji Yang. She was too calm, so calm that it was like a spring outing, which made Meng Jin subconsciously think that the loophole in the mission might be on her. She couldn’t tolerate the mission that she was giving her life for to have an accident because of Ji Yang.
She hadn’t expected that in the end, it would be Ji Yang who saved them!
It was just a pity.
Just a little bit.
She could have completed the mission alive and even said goodbye to her mother.
