In front of the building's gate were some vehicles for material transportation, but some were too far away . Only three vehicles were parked close to them . The three vehicles together with Zhang Hai and Sun Kun's military-grade vehicle were barely enough .
The available soldiers rushed into the three vehicles under the protection of others . Then, they drove the three vehicles back to the gate .
Wan Lan was ordering all the survivors to queue in the hall . She did so because she wanted her sister to report her contribution to the higher-ups . Because of her conflict with Jiang Liushi, she had been transferred to a terrible department . She hoped to get promoted again because of her meritorious service . She even dreamed about getting into a higher position . In her heart, Wan Lan was thanking the mutant beasts for appearing .
"They can get on the three vehicles now, but our soldiers will have to drive, so it leaves only four people to protect the vehicles . It's impossible for us to fight against those monsters with our current gear . We need your help, Captain Jiang," said the leading official sincerely . After all, the mutant birds were too fast .
"No problem . But I have a condition," replied Jiang Liushi .
'What? A condition?' Wan Lan snickered inside . It was a simple task, but Jiang Liushi still had a condition? Naturally, she didn't express her dissatisfaction openly .
The leading officer nodded . "Captain Jiang, what's your condition? You're not obliged to help us as your help is already more than enough . Thank you . "
"Actually, my condition is quite simple," said Jiang Liushi while turning to look at Wan Lan . "I don't want to protect this woman . "
"Eh?" The leading official, as well as everyone else, was stunned . Suddenly, they all looked at Wan Lan . Even Wan Lan was shocked by Jiang Liushi's condition .
"Why? How can you do this to me?" asked Wan Lan immediately . "What do you mean? You can't do this!"
"Why not?" replied Jiang Zhuying with a broad smile .
"I am an officer! Moreover, I've given you all the materials! It's true that we had a little misunderstanding in the past, you can't do this! If you don't take me with you, I'll die!" said Wan Lan anxiously .
"Everyone, please take a stance! Why have I to be left behind? I helped all of you! I even helped him, how can he do this?" asked Wan Lan .
"Really now? And how exactly did you help everyone here?" asked Jiang Zhuying, laughing . It was like she had heard the funniest joke .
Wan Lan had done nothing more than boss them around . As for organizing them in a queue, it was nothing important . Whether she had contributed or not, none of them were fools . They had witnessed the soldiers that had acted when they were needed . What had Wan Lan, a senior officer, done? She had escaped on the second floor to hide! She hadn't fought alongside her comrades-in-arms, so how could they stand up for her now?
"Didn't you see me trying my best to organize the survivors?" screamed Wan Lan .
"Oh? Didn't you do that because you had your own agenda? Like boosting your career?" Jiang Zhuying took that opportunity and pointed out .
"No! That's not why I did that!" Wan Lan barked .
Upon hearing that she would be left behind, Wan Lan started to speak without thinking . After Jiang Zhuying completely revealed her thoughts in a single sentence, Wan Lan felt that the soldiers were looking at her somewhat differently . They couldn't accept that while they were putting their lives on the line, she was playing petty tricks behind their back . Not to mention that it wasn't difficult to have her sister get promoted instead of them .

As Wan Lan saw that nobody was trying to help her, she started looking at the survivors, one by one . Unfortunately, they all averted their gazes . They were unwilling to help her . Without Jiang Liushi's escort, they could not escape that place safely .
"Jiang Liushi, are you still a man!? Why do you do this!?" Wan Lan was getting more and more desperate .
Jiang Liushi replied faintly, "No reason . I just don't want to help you . " In the end, it depended on Jiang Liushi if he'd save someone or not .
Originally, Jiang Liushi had wanted to rush upstairs and argue with her for her unreasonable attitude . How could he be willing to save her now?
The leading officer also looked at Wan Lan, but he remained silent . He knew about Wan Lan's nasty character and that sooner or later she'd bring trouble to herself .
"Everyone! Get on the three vehicles quickly! One by one! Send the wounded first!" shouted the leading officer .
"You can't do this! You can't do this!" Wan Lan rushed out like a madman, but she was stopped by the crowd spontaneously . She also wanted to rush at Jiang Liushi's side, but after noticing his cold eyes, she was scared and stopped . Then, Wan Lan ran crazily among all the people, desperately watching them as they were boarding on the vehicles .
"I wish you all die under the mutant birds' claws! I want the underground mutant beasts to give you slow and painful deaths!" Wan Lan hysterically yelled . Then, she rushed to the crack in the ground, screaming out loudly . "Come out! They are going to leave!"
Jiang Liushi looked at Wan Lan and shook his head . "If you run to the second floor to hide, maybe you can wait until the rescue team arrives . But if you do that, there goes your last chance to survive! Remember, you have only yourself to blame . "

Wan Lan's body turned stiff as she vaguely felt the ground under her feet trembling .
Jiang Liushi let Wang Shiqi board his minibus, and then they departed . "Set off!"
"Aaaaaaaah!!!!" Wan Lan screamed hysterically again . Her hysterical scream accompanied the departing minibus .
In front of the minibus were three military trucks and a military-grade off-road vehicle . Those cars were carrying several living people, which immediately caught the mutant birds' attention .
Whistling sounds reverberated through the air .
'To all vehicles! Keep driving at full speed . You don't need to pay attention to the mutant birds,' Ran Xiyu transmitted Jiang Liushi's order to everyone .
The leading officer was worried after receiving the order . Was it possible?
Finally, he decided and ordered, "Follow Captain Jiang's order!" Without Jiang Liushi, they had already suffered unimaginable losses!
"Ying, launch the gunner room . Zhuying, come with me," ordered Jiang Liushi .

At the same time, Ying stepped on the accelerator as hard as she could . The minibus' engine released a roaring sound, and the minibus caught up with the other vehicles .
Several mutant birds let out shrill cries before diving down . Simultaneously, gunshots sounded, and two mutant birds crashed on the ground, but two other birds had reached one of the military trucks . The driver was drenched in sweat . He couldn't help but turn the steering wheel to try and avoid the two monsters .
At that moment, Ran Xiyu's voice sounded in the driver's mind, ' Continue driving at full speed! Don't worry about anything else!'
"Really?" The driver was still worried .
Upon hearing the screams and cries from the survivors behind, the driver gritted his teeth and tried his utmost best to ignore the monsters . He stepped on the gas and grabbed the steering wheel firmly with both hands, looking straight ahead .
Jiang Liushi's team would deal with everything!
Suddenly, a dazzling net of electricity shone above his head . As the minibus was fast approaching, a girl appeared from the UFO-shaped room on top of the minibus, manipulating the electrical net .
At that moment, Jiang Liushi took the opportunity to shoot again . Following the gunshot, a black shadow slammed on the truck's roof before falling on the ground motionlessly .
Everyone witnessed the sci-fi-like scene . It was so breathtaking that their hearts beat like crazy . Although they were in grave danger, and a little mistake could kill them all, they were also excited .

Only now did the leading officer understand Jiang Liushi's plan, He was using the minibus as a mobile fort!
They only needed to drive while the minibus would swerve between them, helping them to fend off the monsters' attacks . Fortunately, be it Ying or Zhang Hai, they both had extremely high driving skills and could make accurate judgments . As a result, Jiang Liushi's team not only could escape without breaking a sweat but also assist the convoy . Everyone thought that the Shi Ying Squad was their lucky star . They all noticed that instead of praying and crying, it would be better to cheer for the Shi Ying Squad!
"Shi Ying Squad! Make the miracle happen! Kill the f*cking beasts!" shouted someone . Then, everyone followed that man's lead and started cheering .
"Shi Ying Squad! Kill the monsters!" they all chanted rhythmically .
After some time, the leading officer led the convoy to an underground parking lot . As the vehicles rushed in the parking lot, the mutant birds let out angry cries . They were unwilling to leave their prey escape, but all they could do was fly back in the sky .
The underground parking lot had been transformed into a shelter after the Safety Zone's establishment . Some soldiers were outside, guarding . As soon as the convoy stopped, someone rushed to their side, asking about the situation outside . After being informed, he led the survivors to the upper lever through a staircase . The windows upstairs were barricaded .
"How did you escape?" asked an officer in surprise .
