Chapter 142: Chapter 137: The Final Confrontation

But no matter what had happened, the reality was that his side was getting farther and farther away from the enemy!

"Damn it!"

Lair cursed angrily, only able to chase after them as quickly as possible.

The soldier, seeing Xiao Yi and his group getting farther away in the rearview mirror until they disappeared completely, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he still didn’t understand what had happened, since he had this chance, he couldn’t miss it and had to hurry to the evacuation point.

And... the evacuation point was no longer far, he could already see it with his eyes.

...

The military evacuation point was situated on the top of an unremarkable building, with no other tall structures around to obstruct it.

Upon arriving at the rooftop, a Brigadier General, who had been waiting for him for a while with a briefcase in hand, greeted the soldier.

"Finally arrived!"

The Brigadier General snatched the briefcase from his hand without even the leisure to open and check it, and hurried with two cases towards the rope ladder hanging from the helicopter that was ready to leave at any moment.

The military had originally deployed two helicopters at the evacuation point, one for urgent evacuation and the other to provide fire support in case mutants attacked.

But now, there was only one helicopter left.

That’s because the one assigned for fire support had already been shot down by Xiao Yi and his group while going to assist the soldier.

When the Brigadier General learned that Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi were still alive and had shot down their helicopter, and were on their way here, how could he not panic?

So, he had to flee from this place as quickly as possible!

However, just as the Brigadier General was about to grab the rope ladder beneath the helicopter, the aircraft suddenly exploded!

"...What!?" The Brigadier General was shocked, instantly breaking into a cold sweat.

There was a reason why the Brigadier General had to stay here, and because there was a risk of being shot down if the helicopter approached Xiao Yi’s location, the Brigadier General, out of fear, had opted not to send the helicopter to pick up the soldier.

But even so! The helicopter meant for evacuation had still crashed!

Without a doubt, the reason had to be those two unknown individuals!

"Don’t move."

Sure enough, the Brigadier General heard a voice coming from behind him.

He turned to look in the direction of the voice and immediately saw Xiao Yi, Xu Woshi, and Lair.

Lair looked at him, his eyes suddenly filled with a menacing glare, and he said coldly,

"It is you, indeed. Don’t make any sudden moves, hand over both cases! Otherwise, you’ll get an extra bullet hole in your forehead."

As Lair spoke, he already had his handgun aimed at the Brigadier General’s head.

"...Tch!" The Brigadier General wasn’t intimidated by his threat; his focus was entirely on Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi, the true threats!

The Brigadier General was already filled with regret. If only he had known, he wouldn’t have come here for such little merit, no... this was supposed to be a simple mission, but those two unidentified people changed everything!

If he were to hand over the cases, he might live for a while, but afterwards the military would certainly not let him go; the outcome would still be death!

However, fortunately, out of caution, the Brigadier General had made a request for reinforcements to headquarters prior to this. He still had a choice other than handing over the cases!

Moreover, the military had already begun to use media, having some people pose as survivors, to spread the message that there were no survivors left in Kelan City.

They had been delaying until now only because they had not yet obtained the crucial virus strain.

Just obtain the virus strain! Then they would immediately bomb Kelan City!

Therefore, the Brigadier General had to rack his brains and think about how to stall for time until the reinforcements arrived!

Then, the soldier beside him suggested, "Brigadier General, given the circumstances, I think we should just hand over the virus strain and the vaccine to them."

This comment almost provoked the Brigadier General to strike him in anger, "Don’t talk nonsense! If we hand it over, we’re as good as dead! And the vaccine? Why did you bring this useless thing? Wait a minute... a useless thing?"

The Brigadier General suddenly realized something.

The military itself could create vaccines as long as they had the virus strain, so there was no need to bring the vaccine along; it was just a useless thing.

But, that was only the case for the military, not for Xiao Yi and his group!

To Xiao Yi and his group, this was probably the last vaccine!

The Brigadier General had a bright idea, and while opening the case, he said,

"I understand... don’t shoot, I’ll hand over the virus strain and the vaccine to you right now."

The Brigadier General opened the case and took out a small vial from inside that wasn’t the virus strain.

"This... must be the so-called vaccine," the Brigadier General changed his frantic expression to a composed one, "If I were to destroy this vaccine, what do you plan to do?"

As he spoke, the Brigadier General closed the case, holding the two cases with one hand and the vaccine between two fingers with the other, tauntingly swinging it.

Meanwhile, he slowly retreated to a corner of the rooftop. His current position was flanked by the edges of the building, and with no railings, stepping off the edge meant a deadly fall.

If he were to drop the vaccine off the building, it would be completely destroyed.

"...!" At his words, Xiao Yi’s expression instantly turned grim.

If there was no vaccine, he wouldn’t be able to complete the mission!

Xiao Yi noticed Xu Woshi’s expression and immediately understood just how important the vaccine was to Xiao Yi.

"Figures," the Brigadier General laughed upon confirming that the vaccine could threaten Xiao Yi. "Now, none of you move! Otherwise, I’ll throw this vaccine off this building!"

...

Lair was well aware of the vaccine’s importance too, but he didn’t lower the gun he was holding and even took steps towards the Brigadier General. "No worries, if we lose the vaccine we can make another one, but do you dare to smash the original virus strain?"

"It’s you again!" the Brigadier General looked towards Lair with disdain. "You managed to escape. Had I known, I would have killed you directly!"

"Cut the crap!" Lair took a few more steps closer. "Hand over the original virus strain!"

Seeing this, the Brigadier General couldn’t help but laugh, "Heh heh... pretending, if you really didn’t care about the vaccine why put on such an act? Just shoot already, and don’t come any closer! Otherwise, I will truly throw this vaccine off the edge!"

"Try me," Lair continued to advance. "All I care about is the original virus strain... Do you have the courage to destroy it?"

...

"Do you think I wouldn’t dare?" the Brigadier General sneered. "If this mission fails, I’m as good as dead anyway, so I might as well take you all with me! Let me tell you! If we can’t recover the original virus strain, the military plans to bomb the entire city! Minimizing losses is very important to us!"

"What did you say!?" Hearing this, Lair was stunned, and he involuntarily lowered his gun.

The Brigadier General saw Lair’s defeated expression and couldn’t help but feel joy.

However, just then, something the Brigadier General didn’t anticipate happened.

Xu Woshi fired.

Xu Yingguang had noticed Lair was drawing the Brigadier General’s attention, so he immediately told Xiao Yi to shield Xu Woshi with his body to hide her actions.

Different from his standoff with Lair earlier, the Brigadier General’s hand holding the vaccine was fully exposed to everyone!

But accurately hitting the enemy’s hand was a difficult task.

Only Xu Woshi had the ability to aim instantaneously.

As the Brigadier General’s attention was completely drawn by Lair, Xu Woshi seized the moment and fired!

The bullet grazed past Xiao Yi’s hair and hit the Brigadier General’s hand precisely!

"Argh!" The Brigadier General cried out in pain, his hand reflexively releasing its grip, and the vaccine rolled onto the ground.

Lair immediately rushed forward to pick up the vaccine and prepared to toss it to Xiao Yi and the others!

"Catch!"

But! Before Lair could throw it, the Brigadier General reacted, one of his hands had been disabled by Xu Woshi, but he still had another.

He drew his gun with his uninjured hand and shot at Lair at breakneck speed!

"Ugh!"

Lair’s body lost strength instantly from the pain, and the vaccine was thrown off course. And that direction... was right at the edge of the rooftop!

The vaccine hit the ground again, and due to momentum, rolled towards the edge! In just a second or two, it would roll off the building and be utterly destroyed!

...

Xiao Yi quickly tried to chase after it, but the Brigadier General wouldn’t give him the chance.

The Brigadier General might not mind everyone dying together, but he didn’t dare take a risk with the original virus strain.

Whether the vaccine was destroyed or Xiao Yi and his team got hold of it, the Brigadier General would lose his best means of threatening them. So, he quickly decided to take the opportunity to kill Xiao Yi!

The Brigadier General bit the pin with his mouth and threw the grenades on his person one after the other at Xiao Yi, trying to kill him that way!

...

Lair also saw the Brigadier General’s actions and, despite the pain, tackled the Brigadier General to stop him.

Lair had only one hand left, but he still had his teeth!

Lair and the Brigadier General grappled, preventing the latter from continuing to throw grenades.

But, Lair couldn’t stop the grenades the Brigadier General had thrown before.

Xiao Yi might not fear grenades, but the violent explosion still hindered his advance, forcing him to pause!

And in that brief moment, the vaccine had already rolled off the edge of the rooftop, compelled by gravity to fall!

...

But as Xiao Yi paused, a figure already dashed past him.

Xu Woshi rushed forward, stretching her hand out with all her might towards the falling vaccine.

"I’ve got it!"

Xu Woshi managed to save the vaccine, but... most of her body had already left the building, and she was barely hanging on by her feet on the edge and her full strength.

Xu Woshi’s physical fitness was much better than an average person’s, but it still had limits.

So, she could only hold on for an instant.

In that moment, Xu Woshi used all her strength to toss the vaccine back onto the building. That was the best she could do at that moment.

Xiao Yi immediately rushed out from the smoke caused by the explosion.

He didn’t go for the vaccine but extended his hand as far as he could to Xu Woshi.

"Xu Wo..."

But Xu Woshi couldn’t hold on, and her whole body was pulled down by the cursed gravity.

Xiao Yi could only watch as Xu Woshi grew further and further from him, then fell to the ground, leaving a bloodied trail.

Xu Woshi... was dead.
