Chapter 253 Trap, Elimination
When Tang Xia saw the detonator in his hand, she could not help but exchange a look with Ye Yifan and smile.
Jiang Yu was slightly worried. She took the detonator from his hand and looked at Ye Yifan somewhat doubtfully. “Are you sure that this thing can explode normally? If something goes wrong with this thing, then we would be as good as going for the chicken and coming home without our rice.”
When Tang Xia noticed that Jiang Yu was slightly alarmed and afraid, she also understood that her fears were not unreasonable. If they were unsuccessful, they would expose their whereabouts, which would be even more dangerous. She could not help but sigh before going forward to patting Jiang Yu’s back to comfort her,
“Don’t worry. Ye Yifan had checked this thing many times. There’s no problem with it. Don’t think too much.”
Ye Yifan also smiled comfortingly and took the detonator back from Jiang Yu. “Rest assured. We’ve spent so long to set up this detonator together. I will ensure its usability no matter what.”
Ye Yifan turned his head around and checked the detonator thoroughly once again for a long time. When Jiang Yu saw the serious expression that the two of them had, her heart felt slightly more emboldened.
Tang Xia looked up at the ultraviolet light and smiled slightly. Everything was ready except for the opportunity. They only needed to activate the detonator setup, and once it exploded, all the ultraviolet lamps would be crushed.
Once the threat of the ultraviolet lights was gone, the entire laboratory would be under the attack of the zombies within moments.
When they saw how Tang Xia brimmed with confidence, the two of them were inevitably infected by her. The three of them hid and waited for the night.
For those who wanted to sneak attack them to obtain their serum, while nighttime was slightly risky since that was the time when the zombies would roam about, it was also the best time to sneak attack.
It did not take long before the sky gradually darkened. The three people were equipped with weapons and medical kits, and they even ate some food to prepare for the battle later on.
Tang Xia and Ye Yifan did not feel anything when they saw that the sky had already darkened, but Jiang Yu became increasingly nervous.
When Tang Xia realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yu, she touched her hand and was instantly a little surprised. “Oh my god, why are your hands so cold?” The temperature of her hands was like that of ice. When Ye Yifan heard this, he, too, turned his head to look at Jiang Yu.
“It’s nothing. They’re always like that when I’m nervous. You don’t need to worry about me. Hurry and look at the lab. Don’t miss the opportunity.”
Jiang Yu retracted her hand with slight embarrassment. Although Tang Xia was still worried about her, she could only turn around and continue to observe the situation in the laboratory.
“Doesn’t seem like there’s any movement. Why don’t we wait a little longer?” After listening for a long time and realizing that nobody seemed to have come, Ye Yifan looked back at Tangxia to seek her opinion.
However, at that moment, Tang Xia quickly tugged Ye Yifan over and lowered her body before she gestured for him to remain silent. Jiang Yu, who was beside them, also got a scare, and she quickly lifted her head and looked over.
They discovered two figures approaching the laboratory in a sneaky but careful manner.
Tang Xia raised her eyebrows gleefully while Ye Yifan could not resist himself from giving her a thumbs up. Tang Xia patted his hand and pointed to the laboratory to indicate for him to be serious.
They saw that the two newcomers did not enter from the main door. After they searched around for some time, they finally decided to flip inside through an open window. When they saw how clumsy the two newcomers were, the three of them found it a little funny. It did not take long for the two newcomers to get inside.
Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan. “It’s time.” The prey had already entered. It was time to catch them all in one fell swoop. Ye Yifan understood her intention, and he nodded while tightening his grip around the detonator in his hands. Then, he began to count down.
“Five, four, three, two, one!” The moment right after Ye Yifan said this, he straightaway activated the detonator. In the blink of an eye, the whole lab was filled with the sound of exploding glass lamps.
The three of them were forced to crouch down from the impact caused by the moment of the explosion. Before they could react, they heard the sound of a big group of zombies rushing and trampling into the laboratory.
Jiang Yu trembled. She really could not stand seeing so many zombies appear before her, and she could not help but feel like throwing up. Tang Xia quickly stepped forward to calmed her down, “It’s okay. It’s okay. They won’t come over.” Ye Yifan was also slightly worried as he watched Jiang Yu.
At that moment, the system notification suddenly blasted out [JOJO, Cheng Ye were eliminated]
All three of them, especially in Jiang Yu, were stunned. Her eyes instantly glowed and she looked at Tang Xia excitedly. “We have succeeded!”
Tang Xia was also very happy, and she turned to look at Ye Yifan. He also nodded happily. “It’s your credit.” Tang Xia smiled and said nothing.
Early the next morning, the three people packed their things with refreshing spirits. There would not be any zombies in the morning, so they had decided to go find food together and not leave anyone behind. Enemies in the day were even more dangerous.
However, they did not travel too far before two people suddenly charged out from a dark corner. The three of them responded quickly and raised the submachine guns in their hands.
When they focused on the people in front of them, they realized their opponents were actually Skye and Irene. The two of them looked at the trio with hostility.
“Why did you set up a trap? You actually killed JOJO and Cheng Ye!” As Irene spoke, she became more agitated and began to gesture with the gun in her hands. Tang Xia expressed her speechlessness, and she looked at the two of them with a frown.
“Do you not understand the rules of the game? Or you couldn’t differentiate between the enemy and yourself? If we did not set up a trap yesterday, then the three of us would be the ones who would be eliminated today.”
Skye and Irene watched as she spoke in a righteous way and, for a moment, they could not think of any words to refute her. Indeed, they were too childish to question them like this.
Ye Yifan watched how firm and confident Tang Xia was from the side, and he felt his emotions turn within him. This little girl had really changed. She had become mature and reliable.
“I don’t care! Don’t you find your actions despicable? If you have the capability, then confront us face to face like what we’re doing right now! What does it make of you to set a trap secretly!” There was a look of fury and indignance on Irene’s face, and the gun in her hand shook agitatedly.
Tang Xia could not help but pout. “We would long be dead if we had a face to face confrontation. Only brainless people would think about using brute force.” When the two people across from her heard what she said, they became even more agitated. The two groups of people were on the brink of a tangled fight.
Right at that tense moment, they merely heard someone shout happily from behind them. “Yifan!” Tang Xia’s body was instantly covered in goosebumps. She did not even need to look back to know who had come.
Li Xianxian had seen that Ye Yifan was there from afar, and she had quickly run over. However, when she arrived, she realized that there was something wrong about the atmosphere between the two groups, especially since they were pointing their guns at each other.
“What’s wrong?” Li Xianxian could not help but ask carefully. However, she quickly stood before Ye Yifan to prevent Irene from pointing the gun at him.
When Irene saw that Li Xianxian was prepared to protect Ye Yifan, she instantly frowned gloomily. “Xianxian come over! They set up traps and eliminated JOJO and Cheng Ye! They must give us an explanation!”
Li Xianxian listened and realized that it was because of this incident. Last night, she also heard the system notification and had been afraid for quite some time. So they were the ones who set up the trap.
But no matter what, she would not allow them to hurt Ye Yifan. “Irene, don’t be like this. Could you not be calculative about these on my account?”
Irene saw how Li Xianxian was dead set on the idea that nobody would be allowed to touch Ye Yifan, and she instantly kept the gun in her hands irritatedly and kicked a pebble furiously.
“Really!” As she spoke, Irene pointed at Tang Xia and Jiang Yu. “This time, I will not bother with you on Xianxian’s account. If we meet again, the next time, ha.” After she finished speaking, Irene glared at them viciously before she turned and left.
Tang Xia watched the back of their silhouettes as they left, and she put away the gun in her hand. She could not help but exclaim in her heart why they had not brought Li Xiaxian away with them. As the thought formed in her mind, she turned her head to look at Li Xianxian, who stood by the side.
Li Xiaxian kept flocking around Ye Yifan like a flower, and as she pulled Ye Yifan’s elbow, she asked shyly, “Are you hungry? Come and eat with me?”
Jiang Yu watched the trio from the side, and she eventually decided that it was best not to speak. She kept the gun quietly and backed away two steps.
Before Ye Yifan could reply, Tang Xia snorted coolly. “What are you guys going to eat? Hardtack biscuits?”
Jiang Yu could not help but burst out into laughter from the side. When Li Xianxian heard Tang Xia’s sarcastic taunts and Jiang Yu’s sneers, her face instantly flushed red, and she felt so embarrassed.
“That’s still better than you guys, who still need to go out and search for food!” As Li Xianxian spoke, she stomped her feet in embarrassment and fury. Tang Xia laughed and did not continue to speak. She stood silently by the side and began to wipe the dust on the submachine gun.
Upon seeing that Tang Xia remained silent, Li Xianxian turned around and tugged the corner of Ye Yifan’s shirt shyly with slight coquetry.
“So what now? Won’t you come and have dinner with me?” As she spoke, she even shook her body. Tang Xia really could not stand it anymore, and she directly turned her head aside.
Ye Yifan also frowned and gently pulled her hand away. Li Xianxian was instantly stunned, and she looked in astonishment at Ye Yifan. He actually pulled her away like this?
“Sorry, I better go along with them to find something to eat. You should keep your team’s resources for yourselves to eat.” Although he looked very sincere, there was a hint of indifference and distance in his voice.
It may not be so clear to others, but Li Xianxian was extremely sensitive to everything about Ye Yifan. Hence, she immediately understood the meaning behind his words. She instantly looked at him incredulously. “What do you mean by that?”
When Ye Yifan saw her expression, he knew that she had understood his intentions. He did not continue to hide from her and make concessions to adhere to her. “It’s not very suitable for us to be too intimate.”
As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and took one look at Tang Xia. Li Xianxian naturally saw this little action clearly.
Li Xianxian’s heart instantly dropped, and she grabbed Ye Yifan’s arm rather anxiously. “We still have a marriage agreement! Why can’t we be intimate?” When Ye Yifan saw that she was on the verge of breaking down, he knew that he should make things clear with her.
“Let’s invalidate it.” As he spoke, he turned around with the intention to leave with Tang Xia and Jiang Yu.
However, at that moment, Li Xianxian suddenly shrieked out loud. The three of them were stunned, and when they turned their heads around, they realized that Li Xianxian had run into a residential building.
Jiang Yu quickly said, “Oh my god! Don’t those zombies hide in the dark corners of those buildings during the day? Is she crazy? She ran there?” When Ye Yifan heard that, he almost subconsciously dashed over anxiously to chase after her.
