Through the gap in the cupboard, Zhou Jinru saw Adela closing the door and window of the study room, always facing away from Wasim, while the brown-haired Dr. Wasim endured the pain and trembled to treat the wound. He used great perseverance to pull out the wound embedded in the body. Iron piece, blood suddenly started to flow. He quickly poured the medicine into the wound with his other hand, and then pressed it with clean gauze.
This method of treating trauma seems very amateurish and does not fit Wasim's name at all. But what is surprising is that those humble-looking powdered wound medicines really stopped the blood. After dyeing several layers of gauze red, The bleeding stopped, which is comparable to the quick-acting hemostatic powder of Warfarin.
Zhou Jinru didn't know why, he just thought it was too magical. Unconsciously, Shi Huaiya in his arms rubbed against his chest, attracting his attention.
Shi Huaiya's face was very hot. Although she knew there was a reason for the two people to get along so closely, she couldn't help but blush. The bursts of shyness made her almost faint.
"What's going on?!"
Adela, who was walking back and forth by the window, seemed to hear something. She suddenly raised her head and saw something flying at high speed outside the transparent glass.
Click!
The glass shattered, and a missile landed on the study floor and swirled, sending out traces of smoke.
Adela made a sliding shovel, turned over and kicked back the smoke bomb that flew in.
The moment she turned around, several black shadows fell from the window and quickly broke in. All of them were fully armed, holding sharp steel knives, and headed straight for Wasim.
"doctor!"
Adela shouted loudly, drew out the long sword hanging from her waist, struck preemptively, and stabbed the nearest enemy with a straight sword.
The five attackers who broke into the study did not get involved with Adela. They had a clear goal. After two of them separated to stop Adela, the remaining three went straight to the injured Wasim.
Dr. Wasim, an important member of the faction, was still sitting on the chair behind the desk. His hand after treating the wound was stained with his own blood. He looked at the approaching attacker and gently pressed his big hand on the surface of the desk. He didn’t know when there would be more people there. a document.
"You think you can get rid of me this way?"
Wasim looked pale but did not look panicked. Facing these attackers, his calmness made the enemy fearful.
Although they were suspicious, the attackers did not stop and pressed forward step by step. The distance between them was less than five meters. In other words, these attackers could kill Wasim with a single lunge.
One of the attackers thought so. He jumped up, dropped his black boots on the desk, and slashed Wasim's neck with the long knife in his hand.
Got it!
In a flash of lightning, the rapidly falling blade did not land on the flesh as expected. Dr. Wasim raised a hand, tightened his five fingers, and the blade was in his palm, making it difficult to move at all.
Drops of blood flowed down the blade, but Wasim did not panic at all. He still sat there and said calmly: "If you wanted to kill me, your Majesty should have done it when we were in Vole Prison. Now if you want to kill me, your Majesty should do it." Send the Praetorian Guard."
The blood he shed solidified, instantly forming magnificent blood-red ice crystals. The long knife he was holding was even covered with a layer of frost, forcing the attacker holding the handle to have no choice but to let go. If this continues, he will definitely... Frozen by the spreading frost.
"Gentlemen, who have lived in Londinium for many years, have you ever seen a real cold disaster?"
Wasim's eyebrows were all white. He raised his hands, and the cold current that was enough to cause frostbite rushed towards the invading attackers. At the moment the cold current appeared, Adela turned over and hid behind the nearby sofa, because of this cold current. Cold Wave is a range attack that does not distinguish between friend and foe.
Zhou Jinru, who was hiding in the cupboard, could no longer stay. Even though he could resist the cold wave, Shi Huaiya in his arms was already so cold that he almost lost consciousness.
"lighthouse!"
He let out a soft cry, and a bright light burst out, like a flash bomb, causing the few people who were caught off guard to temporarily lose their sight, and Wasim's cold current was also interrupted.
Zhou Jinru tried his best to protect the film girl with his body temperature, broke through the cabinet door, flew towards the nearest attacker, passed his hands over the opponent's neck, and instantly knocked one of them unconscious. His movements were fast and violent, and he never hesitated after knocking down the enemy. In just a few breaths, all five attackers were brought down.
After regaining her sight, Adela opened her mouth when she saw Zhou Jinru throwing the last attacker out of the study door, not knowing what expression to use.
"How will you be here?"
Zhou Jinru clapped his hands, turned around, and said calmly: "I've been here for a while."
Adela seemed to remember something. He couldn't help but exclaim: "You are the thief who broke in!"
"I didn't steal anything."
Zhou Jinru came closer to check Shi Huaiya's condition. The eldest lady was shivering from the cold and her lips were blue. She was wearing thin clothes and she was very close to Wasim. They were the first people to be hit by the cold wave. .
"Cold, I'm so cold."
Shi Huaiya's voice trembled, she was out of breath, her whole body was stiff and hunched, as if she was freezing.
"hold me."
Zhou Jinru took the initiative to hug her, looked at the listless Wasim, and activated the large-scale attack on the Origin Stone technique. It would have consumed a lot of physical strength, but Wasim was dragging his injured body, but he collapsed due to the cold wave. .
When Frost Star's snow monster team creates a large-scale spell attack, they will definitely rely on the power of the frost magic circle. It is difficult to support it with personal strength, unless they are desperate.
Zhou Jinru couldn't tell how many lives Wasim lost in a cold snap, but it couldn't have been too little anyway. If his own lighthouse hadn't suddenly interrupted the bright light, Wasim might have lost half his life here, and maybe he would have lost more. He became a latent infected person due to excessive power generation.
"Who are you?"
The weak Wasim also looked at Zhou Jinru. To his surprise, the man in front of him was already in the cupboard, and all their conversations must have been eavesdropped.
Zhou Jinru didn't speak. He focused all his energy on Shi Huaiya. Adela walked quickly and whispered: "He is the male servant of Shivaash's family, and he calls himself Zhou."
Since she couldn't figure out why Zhou Jinru appeared here, Adela didn't dare to make random guesses in front of Wasim.
"Shiva Ash?"
Wasim frowned slightly, reached under the desk, and turned a hidden switch. The bookcase behind him moved in response, slowly opening to both sides, and a dark hole appeared in front of them.
Wasim's eyes were always locked on Zhou Jinru, and he said calmly: "If I were you, I would never leave the room now. There are snipers outside, and you are bringing a girl who has lost the ability to move."
Zhou Jinru didn't mind Wasim's sight. He kicked his toes, and a steel knife that had fallen on the floor flew up into the air and landed in his palm.
"Shall we take the secret passage you built?"
Wasim nodded and walked into the secret passage with Adela's support. Zhou Jinru and Shi Huaiya followed closely behind. His footsteps fell exactly on the path walked by the two people in front of him.
It is not unusual for nobles to build secret passages. The secret passage in Wasim's house is almost vertical up and down, and the stairs at their feet are extremely high. Based on vague judgment, Zhou Jinru estimated that they had already reached the ground after just a few steps. And it continues downward.
This secret passage is useless after being used once. When the attacker enters again, he will definitely find the secret passage.
The slope under his feet gradually slowed down. Zhou Jinru smelled the humid air. The smell seemed not good. He immediately thought of the sewer pipes. The structure of Londinium's underground water network was complex. If he wanted to get rid of the pursuers, that was the best way to escape. Choose, provided you don’t get lost.
The sound of water gradually reached their ears, and they arrived at the sewer. A rusty iron fence blocked the way. Adela, who was walking in front, hit the iron branch with the blade of her sword, making a crisp sound, but she could not directly break the iron branch. fence.
Zhou Jinru stepped forward, grabbed the iron branch with both hands, and pulled hard to both sides. The human figure behind him flashed away, and the rusted iron door suddenly opened a gap, which was enough for an adult to pass through.
Their shoes stepped on the wet ground, stained with moss and mud. The four of them walked forward for a while. In front of a closed door in the pipeline, Wasim stepped forward, knocked hard twice, and coughed again. Knock three more times to complete the docking code.
Squeak.
There was a soft sound, and the closed door opened in front of them. Standing inside was a man wrapped in a black cloak, beckoning them to hurry in.
"This is one of our secret bases."
Wasim said softly, but because he moved too frequently, blood flowed out of the easily treated wound.
In the secret stronghold of the faction members, many people were already waiting. Seeing Wasim's arrival, everyone made some whispers.
Zhou Jinru and Shi Huaiya were outsiders. They kept a low profile and did not cause much trouble.
"Miss Shi, have you recovered?"
Shi Huaiya leaned against Zhou Jinru and said softly, "I'm still a little dizzy."
The implication is that I can't leave you yet.
Zhou Jinru hummed, and hid in the crowd with the film girl. This time he came out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. He had to be careful about everything he said.
"Doctor, you are still alive."
The dark green-haired woman sitting carelessly aside smiled and spoke in a not very respectful tone.
The voice sounded familiar. Zhou Jinru quietly looked towards the speaker and saw Jiavir sitting there with a golden sword wearing a tiger finger on both hands, not paying any attention to Wasim.
Before, she only knew that Gavel was the person in charge of an underground black fist, but she did not expect that she would suddenly turn into a member of the Jacobin faction. However, the current faction was under the royal family's surprise attack, and it only took half a day for the faction to go from high to low.
"Chief Gavel, don't forget, that prison has not been captured yet."
Jiaweier spread his hands: "There is no way. We lost supplies, and the raid of those steam mechas dispersed a lot of people. There are only so many people who can appear here now."
Through the conversation between the two, Zhou Jinru fell into deep thought. The department store that was attacked was the place where they held the meeting. When the attack occurred, there was no sentry point to warn in advance. It was not known whether the intelligence personnel of the faction were not high enough or the royal family. Job well done, the faction became completely deaf and blind during these few hours.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Adela calmly approached Zhou Jinru and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "If I were you, I would start mobilizing intelligence forces and forming a new intelligence network now. Although it is hasty, it is better than being blindfolded. What is needed now is a counterattack with enough deterrence. If you are blindfolded once, If you lose the power to fight back, you might as well disband on the spot."
"You are so rude in what you say."
Adela shook her head and sighed.
"Who is in charge of the intelligence network now?"
Wasim, the person who asked this question, glanced at Zhou Jinru and asked loudly when he looked at the crowd.
His voice overwhelmed the others, and soon someone answered: "The head of intelligence has lost contact."
Wasim asked again: "Who is responsible?"
The gathered crowd fell into awkward silence. At this time, Adela raised her right hand: "Doctor, I can give it a try."
Wasim nodded and said: "Very good."
"I need a deputy, can I appoint one myself?"
"Yes, within certain limits, you have this power."
Adela immediately turned to look at her own people, opened her mouth, and said silently: "Help me."
"let me consider it."
Zhou Jinru lowered his head and glanced at the identity card. His status suddenly jumped from a supporting role to an important supporting role.
He added: "I want to ensure the safety of this young lady."
Shi Huaiya is his weakness, the person he must protect no matter what.
Adela said decisively: "Okay, I promise you."
Zhou Jinru nodded and reached out to pull the little tiger away. In fact, she had already recovered, but for some reason she was unwilling to let go.
Shi Huaiya exclaimed: "Zhou!"
"Be obedient, protect yourself, go home quickly, and don't come out alone again."
Several faction members escorted Shi Huaiya back under Adela's arrangement, and Zhou Jinru breathed a sigh of relief until the little tiger was sent away.
After Adela arranged two tasks, she came over and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Assign some people to me. I want people with good skills to follow me to investigate."
There is nothing better than seeing it in person to understand the problem. Zhou Jinru's request was quickly met, and in addition, he also got an unexpected person.
"What are you looking at? You've never seen such a big fist?"
Jiaweier stared, as if he was going to slap Zhou Jinru if he disagreed.
"It's nothing, I was just surprised that the chief would personally take action."
Zhou Jinru's compliment failed to solve the problem, and Jiaweier said dullly: "Use your smooth tongue to deal with Adela. She will take advantage of you, but I won't."
Adela, who was looking at the map, raised her head with a serious expression: "Can you two be quiet?"
Zhou Jinru sniffed and asked, "If the chief comes with me to investigate, why do you want to come too?"
"Just because I'm good at it."
Zhou Jinru: "..."
He said silently in his heart, your sliding shovel is indeed quite beautiful.
