safe house.
"Hey, Director Ren? Where are you going?"
In front of the building, Yao Yongkang looked at Ren Feifei who walked straight out of the door and said hello with a playful smile.
Ren Feifei didn't say anything, she just rolled her eyes at Yao Yongkang, then walked around Yao Yongkang without looking away, preparing to leave.
But Yao Yongkang didn't seem to intend to just let Feifei leave. Instead, he took a step directly and stopped in front of Ren Feifei.
"What do you want to do?!"
Ren Feifei frowned and stared at Yao Yongkang dissatisfied and asked.
"Why is Director Ren so angry today? Being angry can hurt your health. You have to take care of yourself. People will feel bad if you are angry."
Yao Yongkang said with a smile on his face, seemingly very concerned, but his eyes kept moving on Ren Feifei's body.
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Ren Feifei said coldly and planned to continue leaving Yao Yongkang.
In her heart, she had never had a good impression of Yao Yongkang, and she had been filled with disgust from the moment they met him in the bank.
"How could it not matter? After all, you used to be my immediate boss."
"How about it? I've left the research base now. Can you handle it alone? Isn't it hard?"
But Yao Yongkang actually stood in front of Ren Feifei again, his face still full of concern, and he even extended his hand to Ren Feifei!
"Keep your dog's paws off! Be respectful!"
Ren Feifei took a step back, raised her voice and shouted, the disgust on her face no longer concealed.
Seeing Ren Feifei's resistance, Yao Yongkang seemed to have completely lost his patience, and the smile and concern on his face disappeared instantly.
"Don't think that no one will be able to take care of you after Feng Shuai leaves! If you do this again, be careful I tell Captain Wu!"
"Mud, always mud!"
Ren Feifei gave Yao Yongkang a hard look, dropped a word, bypassed Yao Yongkang for the third time, quickly went down the steps, and walked straight towards the research base, walking very fast.
This time, Yao Yongkang did not continue to stop him, but stood on the steps, turned around and watched Ren Feifei coldly walking away, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
"Stinky girl! You can't be proud for a few more days! Then I will make you kneel down and beg me!"
Yao Yongkang watched Ren Feifei's retreating figure, muttered something, snorted coldly, and walked straight into the building.
However, just as he walked into the building door, a vague figure appeared in front of the window of a dormitory on the second floor, looking in the direction of the building door.
This person was Wu Jun, and he had seen everything that happened just now.
...
Two days later.
City of hope.
A heavy snow fell in the sky once again. This was the first heavy snowfall in the glacier season. The snow on the ground seemed to never disappear, covering one layer after another, endlessly.
It was getting dark and there were no more pedestrians on the street.
There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening every day, so generally no one leaves their house in the morning and evening.
The heavy snow in the sky and the lights in the buildings illuminated the entire City of Hope as brightly as day.
However, at this moment, a group of black figures suddenly appeared on the street, and then quickly formed several teams and rushed towards various city gates and safe houses.
They did not come out from one place, but came from all directions. They quickly gathered and then dispersed. There was no communication throughout the process, only gestures, as if they were performing a secret operation that had been rehearsed countless times.
And, almost everyone is armed!
A moment later, another group of people slowly came from Xiyuan District, standing on the snow-covered street and looking at the tall safe house building in the distance.
The number of people in this group was not large, only about ten, but the leader was a person known to most of the people in the City of Hope.
Dong Mingrui!
"General, everyone has gone to the designated target. Everything is normal now and the plan is going well!"
A figure wearing an instructor's uniform stood behind Dong Mingrui and whispered.
"very good!"
Dong Mingrui narrowed his eyes, with a sneer on his lips, and nodded with satisfaction.
"General, will we succeed?"
The man hesitated for a moment and asked again.
"Must succeed or we all may die!"
"But don't worry, the elite of Tianlong Guard have been taken to Kyoto by Duan Mufeng. The current City of Hope is just a mess. Compared with Tang Army, Wu Jun's ability is not at the same level at all. It is easy to deal with him. !”
"And our plan is so seamless that even if he reacts in time, it will be too late to stop us!"
"Starting from tomorrow, the City of Hope is mine!"
Dong Mingrui sneered and said confidently.
After listening to Dong Mingrui's words, the more than ten people standing behind him all showed excitement on their faces, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Everyone will be tempted in the face of power, not to mention that we are in the last days and there is no law at all. If they have supreme power, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they want?
Now they are just a small survivor in the City of Hope, unable to reach the center of power at all. But if they succeed today, they will definitely be reused by Dong Mingrui, and they will naturally stand at the center of power by then!
"General, it's almost time. All personnel should have arrived at the designated location. Do you want to take action?!"
One of them looked at Dong Mingrui and asked respectfully.
Dong Mingrui did not speak, but slowly raised his right hand and waved vigorously in the direction of the safe house building.
"Do it!"
Then, the man spoke in a deep voice into the intercom.
"Da da da!"
Five seconds later, a burst of piercing gunshots instantly resounded throughout the City of Hope!
Fierce gunfire rang out almost simultaneously from various city gates, safe houses, research bases, and Tianlongwei dormitory buildings!
"Report to Captain Wu!"
"The east gate suffered a sudden attack!"
"Report to Captain Wu!"
"The west gate is under heavy firepower! Requesting support!"
"Report to Team Wu..."
"The south gate is lost..."
"Report to Team Wu! Research base..."
In the safe house building, sudden reports came one after another from the intercom.
The entire City of Hope was in complete chaos!
...
"Everyone speed up and take refuge on the fifth floor immediately!"
In the building, Xu Qing and Xiao Rui were guiding the staff of various departments living in the safe house who were frightened by the gunfire.
I still remember that when they first arrived here, they escaped the attack of mutants in a theft-proof vault on the fifth floor. When Duan Mufeng went out to look for people, she, Yao Yongkang, and Lu Zhengming were hiding there.
Later, Duan Mufeng asked Wu Jun to lead people to build many such vaults on the fifth floor, some of which were used to store valuables, and some of which were to deal with situations like today.
Wu Jun's reminder that day, although Xu Qing racked her brains and couldn't figure out what was going on, she still kept an extra thought in mind. So when the gunfire just sounded, she realized something was wrong and immediately called Xiaorui. , and guide others to hide on the fifth floor.
Under Xu Qing's guidance, panicked people arrived on the fifth floor and rushed toward the vacant vault.
"boom!"
But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the corridor on the fifth floor, making the noisy crowd suddenly quiet.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, came to the front, and looked towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
But then, she couldn't help but froze on the spot, looking solemnly at the man holding a pistol in his hand!
The person who shot was none other than Yao Yongkang!
It turned out that he had expected all this, and had been waiting here before the commotion happened.
"Miss Xu, did I really underestimate you? I thought Wu Jun would be the first to react, but I didn't expect it was you!"
Yao Yongkang looked at Xu Qing and said slowly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Behind him, there were dozens of people standing, almost blocking the corridor, and all of them had guns in their hands, looking eagerly at Xu Qing and the panic-stricken staff behind Xu Qing.
They used to be the Tianlong Guards who guarded the city, but now they have become others' minions to capture the City of Hope...
