328 Seeking Death

All the mutant lizards and mutant sand rats lay dead.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Zhao Qi and Zhang Guozhu.

“Zhao Qi, what’s going on?”

Lin Liye asked sternly.

“Were you the one who threw the two flashbangs?

“Were you the one who threw those frags?”

Lin Liye recalled the strange series of incidents just now.

But he could not understand why Zhao Qi would hold Zhang Guozhu at knife-point.

Was he afraid that they would blame him for slipping up in military protocol?

They would not kill him for it…

“Hehehe…”

Zhao Qi smiled helplessly.

Originally, he had planned to wound Wang Ran and let him die at the hands of the mutated lizard.

Zhao Qi could have explained that he saw Wang Ran being in danger and threw the grenades to attempt assisting him

He had never expected that Wang Ran would actually use the lizard matriarch as a shield.

To make matters worse, he had his shades on. He had seen it all.

Zhao Qi was now well-aware of Wang Ran’s strength. If he didn’t resort to drastic measures, he was not going to get out of here alive.

Zhang Guozhu was an easy target. He was not strong enough to hold anyone else hostage.

“I’ve worked so hard and risked my life to come here, not to be an audience!

“I’m a proud son of the heavens! Only I have the right to stand out among all!” Zhao Qi shouted.

These were indeed his heartfelt words.

The purpose of his visit this time was to show off and gain Lin Shuang’s favor.

He had not expected Wang Ran to appear out of nowhere.

Thanks to Wang Ran, he ended up looking like a flea…

“Zhao Qi, are you out of your mind?”

“We’re here to fight for mankind’s survival. Does it matter who is in the limelight?

“Just for this, you…

“You’re a soldier of our nation!

Lin Liye was a little resentful.

Zhao Qi used to be a reliable soldier…

How did his brain get damaged over such a small matter?

“That’s right, Zhao Qi, hurry up and let Zhang go!”

Lin Shuang also tried to persuade him.

She never had a good impression of Zhao Qi in the first place, and now, she hated him even more.

“Lin Shuang, I’ve had enough.

“I was quite attentive to you during this period of time, right? Did you even look me in the eye?

“No matter what, I’m still the idol of the thousands of girls back home!”

Zhao Qi sneered.

Since they had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, he no longer hid his inner thoughts.

“Zhao Qi, you’ve gone too far!

“You actually attacked your own for such a small matter!”

Lin Shuang shouted at him.

She didn’t expect Zhao Qi, who usually looked so serious, to be such a person.

It was a good thing she never once had any thoughts about him.

Zhao Qi dragged Zhang Guozhu to the entrance of the passage.

When he saw Wang Ran and the others keeping their distance, he felt very smug.

As long as he could get out of the pyramid, he could kill Zhang Guozhu and escape with the Black Hawk.

At that time, no one would be able to find him.

With his strength as a rank-six Awakened One, he could still live a very comfortable life in the apocalypse.

Wang Ran and Lin Liye looked at each other.

The two of them decided not to act rashly for the time being and slowly look for an opportunity.

Zhang was too weak. He would die if they were not careful.

“Don’t follow me! Otherwise, I’ll kill him!”

Zhao Qi warned him again, then dragged Zhang Guozhu back to the passage.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the passage.

Zhao Qi was shocked!

The sound of footsteps… Have some of the mutant creatures survived?

Zhao Qi turned around, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

A large number of Mutated Zombies suddenly swarmed into the tunnel…

The one leading them was a white-haired Zombie Monarch…

Wang Ran smiled.

‘Isn’t that the Egyptian guy?’

They had come on foot, just in time.

Wang Ran gave the Zombie Monarch of Cairo a look.

The zombie immediately understood what was going on and charged at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi was shocked.

He would not be able to survive a prolonged battle against a Zombie Monarch.

Helplessly, Zhao Qi let go of Zhang Guozhu and threw a flashbang.

There was no way to escape from the exit, so he could only try to escape to the other side of the square. There might still be a chance there.

After the flash, the zombies and Wang Ran’s group would definitely start fighting, and he would find the opportunity to escape in the chaos.

Zhao Qi pushed Zhang Guozhu towards the Zombie Monarch and rushed to the side door with his eyes shut, trying to go around it.

However, Wang Ran was even faster. With his sunglasses on, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Qi by the neck.

When the flash faded, everyone looked at Wang Ran and Zhao Qi.

“You… Are you crazy?!

“You’re not going to deal with the Zombie Monarch, but you’re coming after me?

“Aren’t you afraid that Zhang will be killed by the Zombie Monarch?”

Zhao Qi was shocked.

In his opinion, Wang Ran and Zhang Guozhu should be rather close to each other. How could Wang Ran ignore Zhang Guozhu’s safety to catch him…

What went wrong…?

At the entrance of the passage, the Zombie Monarch helped Zhang Guozhu up and shook hands with him in a friendly manner.

Zhang Guozhu himself was stunned.

‘I’m not a turncoat… What are you doing, Zombie Monarch?’

“Mr. Wang Ran. There are no problems here. I got him,” the Zombie Monarch shouted at Wang Ran.

The people present were stunned.

Zombie allies?

Just who the hell was Wang Ran?

Zhao Qi’s face was downcast. ‘Who the hell would have thought of this…?’

This is the end.

Wang Ran grabbed Zhao Qi’s neck like he was holding a dog by its scruff.

This guy actually wanted to trick him, so there was only one outcome.

Wang Ran exerted force with his fingers and crushed one of Zhao Qi’s vertebra.

Zhao Qi lost all feeling below his neck.

“Comrade Wang Ran. This guy is my subordinate. It’s my fault for not being strict with him.

“Can you let me end him?” Lin Liye walked to Wang Ran and said.

Lin Liye’s heart was filled with guilt for his subordinate to have done such a thing.

“Alright,” he said.

Wang Ran nodded and threw Zhao Qi to Lin Liye’s feet.

Zhao Qi lay paralyzed on the ground, his face covered in tears.

“Captain Lin, please spare my life!

“At least I did help in the defense of the capital!” Zhao Qi pleaded while crying.

If he was paralyzed, so be it. Right now, he only wanted to live.

“Zhao Qi, your actions are a disgrace to the nation.

“As the commanding officer, I hereby sentence you to summary execution.”

Lin Liye drew a dagger.

It was a pity that Zhao Qi, who originally had a high chance of taking over his position, would die here today.

However, this was also a good thing. The darkness in Zhao Qi’s heart had reared its ugly head so early, which might be a good thing for their future.

“Tsk!”

Lin Liye stabbed the dagger deep into Zhao Qi’s chest.

The promising youth, Zhao Qi, lowered his head.
