93. Chapter 93: Apartment

How annoying this is? Bai Ge was gradually losing her patience.

After turning several streets, those black sedans were still stubbornly following behind, unable to create distance.

"There's an ambush ahead," Liang Bing called out, hearing the sound of the cars.

Sure enough, near the intersection, two black cars emerged to block the way.

Bai Ge had no choice but to slow down, thinking of countermeasures.

If she were driving an off-road vehicle, she could ram through, but unfortunately this was a standard business van carrying many people.

"I'll go down and deal with them. These guys are like sticky gum, sticking around, really annoying," Yi Chen said.

"No need. Sit tight!" Bai Ge observed the surroundings and had an idea.

She gritted her teeth, pressed the accelerator again, turned the steering wheel sharply to one side, pressed the brake with her toes, then lifted the handbrake and loosened it again.

The car's weight shifted to the front wheels, and half the body tilted over, suddenly lying horizontally across the road.

Screams erupted inside the car. Everyone didn't know what she was planning, but they knew she was definitely up to something big!

Bai Ge stepped on the accelerator hard, then quickly turned the steering wheel in the opposite direction, lifting the front end and swinging the rear across.

The tires squealed sharply against the road, and the entire business van circled around and turned.

Immediately after, it honked loudly and rushed toward a large supermarket on the roadside!

Crash! The glass at the supermarket entrance was smashed to pieces!

The nearby crowd scattered in panic, thinking they were under terrorist attack and fleeing everywhere!

The black cars stopped.

They represented Future Group, of course they wouldn't like Bai Ge, desperate and taking shortcuts.

Several black-clad men got out with guns and entered the supermarket.

They saw the business van parked at the checkout, and the people inside had long vanished.

The alarm blared in the supermarket, with confused and panicked civilians everywhere. In such a situation, it was difficult for them to find their target. This time, they really lost track.

"Quick, this way!" After abandoning the car, Bai Ge and the others ran toward the supermarket parking lot in the chaos. There was another exit there, and a shuttle bus was departing from that direction.

"Sis, you don't know if I went directly to deal with them, I could save a lot of trouble, right?" Yi Chen said with a bitter smile.

"Dealing with them is my responsibility, it has nothing to do with you. Also, don't call me sister from now on, it makes me seem old," Bai Ge seemed a bit displeased.

Yi Chen was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to respond to Bai Ge's indifferent attitude of "who cares."

Besides, she was obviously older than him. Didn't Hou Yingjie always call her sister? Why did that guy calling her not cause a problem, but after one call, she turned cold?

Beside them, Ling Zhe was always complimenting, though his face was pale from injury and blood loss, he was full of praise, saying she was cool, handsome, etc., praising Bai Ge without end.

Ling Lan was impatient and slapped Ling Zhe on the head. He immediately quieted down.

"No car, how do we find Ouyang Hong?" Ling Lan asked.

"Take the shuttle bus, then transfer to the subway or bus. The place where Ouyang Hong lives has convenient transportation." Bai Ge glanced at the shuttle bus routes and said. The next shuttle bus arriving at the subway station was only five minutes away; they were in luck.

"... Are we really shaking off the tails and tracking down bad guys?" Even Ling Lan was a bit confused now.

A few minutes ago, they were racing at breakneck speed, playing a high-speed chase. Now the style had changed; everyone seemed like they had just finished shopping at the supermarket, bought discounted items, and were leisurely heading home.

"Should maintain a good mindset at all times." Bai Ge smiled faintly and got on the shuttle bus.

"Are you an Aquarius?" Ling Lan blinked and asked.

"Aquarius, how to put it, they're eccentric?"

"No, it feels like they're lacking common sense."

"The Virgo's mouth is really venomous." Bai Ge giggled.

Yi Chen, Ling Zhe, and Zhu Youzheng, these big men, listened to their conversation about constellations with blank stares, unable to insert a word.

Liang Bing still maintained a blank expression, sitting alone at the back, not knowing what she was thinking. The excitement of the world seemed unrelated to her.

Before long, Zhu Youzheng parted ways with them at the subway station. Today he was exhausted and had been frightened a lot, saying he didn't want to continue accompanying them anymore.

The remaining people no longer forced it and continued heading toward Ouyang Hong's Oriental Space-Time Apartment.

Oriental Space-Time Apartment was a rare high-end apartment in the city center of Nanchuan, with convenient transportation, all living necessities available, and the community environment quite nice.

Ouyang Hong being able to buy a house here could only indicate that at such a young age, he had indeed earned quite a bit of money.

However, as soon as they approached this community, Yi Chen smelled a strong, pungent bloody odor.

He quickened his steps and saw at the entrance of the community several well-dressed security guards lying there with flesh torn and bloodied, corpses sprawled on the ground!

"Were the zombies that did it?" Liang Bing frowned slightly. There was a faint rotten smell in the air, familiar to those who had lived on the outskirts.

"Yeah." Yi Chen nodded.

"No way, are there zombies in the inner city too?" Bai Ge exclaimed in surprise, this was a big deal! She reflexively pulled out her phone to dial and report, but suddenly remembered that Future Group was hunting them, so she reluctantly put it down.

She had always been the guardian of the city, but today her identity had shifted, becoming an order destroyer, she truly hadn't fully adapted yet.

"Quick, let's go in and see!" Yi Chen had a bad premonition.

The inner city was so vast, with many gathering places. This side of Oriental Space-Time Apartment had few residents, definitely not a prime hunting ground for zombies. Could it be that they were after Ouyang Hong?

Ouyang Hong lived on the first floor.

Although the first floor was somewhat noisy, it had a private courtyard where one could plant flowers and grasses. Ling Lan remembered that Ouyang Hong once told her he would read books in the courtyard on rest days and drink coffee.

Now this beautiful courtyard filled with crape myrtles had become messy and dilapidated, and Ouyang Hong's family doors and windows were severely damaged.

"The building entrance showed no signs of forced entry, it seems some things entered from the courtyard," Yi Chen observed the surroundings and analyzed.

"Was the other party's target Ouyang Hong?" Bai Ge still wasn't entirely sure. On the way over, they had found several corpses, and some low-floor residents in this building also died. Was this coincidence or intentional?

"Probably," Ling Lan said, "Ouyang Hong's research methods on infected were quite cruel; even if there's a grudge, it's normal for the other party to come seeking revenge."

"Do you think this was done by infected?" Yi Chen asked with interest.

"Don't you think it resembles? The one who came was somewhat smart, did such a big move but didn't cause too much commotion..."

"It can't be said it didn't cause any commotion, only that -- that guy bit to death all those who noticed the action," Yi Chen supplemented.

"Yeah. But zombies have no intelligence; they can't make such judgments," Ling Lan reminded.

Yi Chen fell silent. He knew there was a monster that could make such judgments. But that monster had just fought with him earlier, and when he entered the inner city, it wasn't there...

Was he overthinking it?
