While several people were boasting in the corridor on the second floor, it was also when they let their guard down.
The male alphas wore expressions of satisfaction, looking at the Omegas on the ground as if they were mere playthings.
At that moment, Chen Wan and Qin Ke moved together.
Chen Wan sidestepped from the wall she was leaning against, quickly taking aim and firing a few shots, while Qin Ke recklessly stepped into the corridor and opened fire in that direction.
The six alphas led by Brother Feng were caught off guard; three of them were shot and fell to the ground, while a few others drew their guns to return fire at Chen Wan and her companion.
By then, Chen Wan and Qin Ke had already taken cover behind the corner wall.
“Damn it, I’ve been shot in the shoulder! Brother Feng, help me, help me!”
The man on the ground wailed, and the other two injured were not in much better shape, suffering varying degrees of gunshot wounds.
Brother Feng, however, had been standing in the middle of these people and was completely unharmed.
“Get lost, useless trash! Those who aren’t injured, follow me!”
Brother Feng was furious; he hadn’t even done anything yet, and three of his men were already severely injured.
“Brother Feng, that woman just now seemed to be Qin Ke, right?”
Li Wei was starting to panic, recalling what they had done to Qin Ke and her girlfriend.
His legs felt weak.
Brother Feng was also getting increasingly agitated.
“Are you talking to me? I’m not blind! Stop wasting time. If we don’t take care of those two women today, none of us will make it out alive.”
Then, Brother Feng casually pulled an Omega in front of him, smirking as he said, “We have hostages. If you don’t hand over your guns, I’ll start shooting them one by one.”
Li Wei and the others followed suit, each grabbing an Omega as a human shield.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke exchanged glances, neither of them believing the threats from these thugs.
If they put down their guns, not only would those people die, but they would be in danger as well.
The Omegas were terrified, with the rich second-generation’s girlfriend crying and pleading with Chen Wan, “Please give them the guns! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
Brother Feng sneered, “Did you hear that? These people are telling you to hand over your guns. They are all innocent civilians. If they die, can you live with yourselves? Hand over the guns, and I might spare their lives.”
Qin Ke remained expressionless, unaffected by his words.
Chen Wan felt no pressure; this was clearly manipulation.
She wasn’t a savior; how could she care about everyone’s life and death?
Besides, if these hostages died, it was their own fault for getting involved in this mess.
She had saved them from the hospital, and if she hadn’t gone to get medicine, they would have been trapped there.
Moreover, not all of them were good people; after all, they had just betrayed her in the lobby downstairs, even though she had saved them not long ago.
Chen Wan simply thought that everyone was struggling in this apocalypse.
When she encountered situations within her ability, she helped out.
Otherwise, if such things happened frequently, how could she manage?
It was still up to the military and government of Planet R2 to resolve these issues.
Chen Wan stopped listening to the thugs’ nonsense and turned around, firing two shots.
However, she was still somewhat concerned about hitting innocent people, so she only fired warning shots.
But those two shots startled the three Omegas.
One of the female nurses, perhaps fueled by desperation, stomped hard on Li Wei’s foot, using all her strength.
Li Wei momentarily lost his grip.
At that moment, Chen Wan swiftly turned and fired from behind the wall, and Li Wei collapsed to the ground.
However, the female nurse only managed to run a few steps before Brother Feng shot her down, and she could no longer get up.
Qin Ke was also looking for an opening.
As Brother Feng was distracted by shooting, his body exposed itself more from behind the hostages.
Qin Ke fired two shots into Brother Feng’s left shoulder.
The rich second-generation girlfriend seized the opportunity to try to wrestle the gun from Brother Feng’s hand, while the male alphas on the other side, seeing their comrades injured or dead, panicked completely, their hands trembling and struggling to hold their guns steady.
Seeing the rich second-generation girlfriend resist, the woman in front of her joined in.
The male alpha behind her was already shaking, and the woman used all her strength to grab the gun, sending it flying far away.
Taking advantage of the man’s momentary confusion, she desperately ran toward Chen Wan and the others.
At that moment, the man lost his hostages and was shot dead by Qin Ke, who was standing in the corridor with her gun drawn.
Chen Wan had also been aiming at Brother Feng for a while.
As the rich second-generation girlfriend struggled for the gun, Chen Wan shot Brother Feng in the calf, causing blood to gush out.
Brother Feng, standing on one leg, found it hard to maintain his balance, while the rich second-generation’s girlfriend had already turned red-eyed, frantically trying to grab the gun from him.
Chen Wan no longer hesitated.
She charged down the corridor, grabbing Brother Feng’s gun arm.
With a sharp crack, Brother Feng’s arm lost all strength and hung limply, followed by intense pain.
The gun in his hand had long since been taken by Chen Wan.
By the time Chen Wan subdued Brother Feng, Qin Ke had already dealt with the three injured and unconscious men.
She approached Brother Feng, her face covered in blood, like a hellish reaper devoid of emotion.
Brother Feng looked around, seeing all his subordinates lifeless, and realizing he was injured in the arm, shoulder, and calf.
He knew he could never walk out of here alive, and instead, he laughed maniacally, “Qin Ke, why are you glaring at me? Do you think I’m afraid of you now? I’ve played with so many people, and your girlfriend was the most exciting. It’s just that she didn’t listen, and now look at her, a ghost of her former self…”
Before Brother Feng could finish his sentence, a sharp pain pierced his chest, followed by a relentless wave of agony as the knife plunged deeper.
He didn’t know how many times he had been stabbed, but in the end, he couldn’t utter another word.
Qin Ke seemed to have gone mad; even as the person in front of her died, her hands didn’t stop moving, repeatedly performing the same action.
Chen Wan only glanced at her a few times, not urging Qin Ke to stop, and quickly turned to run back to the stairs, shouting to Jiang Yanxin, “Yanxin, come over! It’s all taken care of.”
Jiang Yanxin hurried over to Chen Wan, tugging at her wrist, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Let’s go; we need to free everyone locked in the room.”
Chen Wan didn’t want Jiang Yanxin to stray too far from her side, so she could protect her at the first sign of danger.
In the corridor, aside from the bloodied Qin Ke, the rich second-generation’s girlfriend and another woman who had just escaped were crouched by the wall, crying.
After all, for ordinary people, they had just experienced a tremendous shock, and their final resistance could be seen as a primal reaction when pushed to the brink.
Just as Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin were about to reach the room where Wang Xing and the others were locked up, Qin Ke, covered in blood, stood up.
She paid no attention to the blood on her body and didn’t bother to wipe it off.
Instead, she slowly turned to look at the room containing the zombies.
After a moment, it seemed as if she had seen something uncontrollable, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin couldn’t help but stop and turned their gazes toward Qin Ke.
A few seconds later, the blood on Qin Ke’s cheeks was washed away a bit, not because she wiped it with her hands, but because her tears had already burst forth like a dam breaking.
Qin Ke’s vision was blurred by her tears, yet she could still see the person she longed for, who had already been trapped in the room before her, transformed into a flesh-eating monster.
Her hoarse voice kept murmuring a name: “Yan Yan, Yan Yan…” Chen Wan had roughly guessed Qin Ke’s and her girlfriend’s ordeal from what those people had said.
Just hearing those words made her blood boil with anger, let alone what Qin Ke had personally experienced.
Thus, Chen Wan was at a loss for how to comfort her.
She and Jiang Yanxin arrived at the door where Wang Xing and the others were locked up.
There was a window on the door, and the remaining four men inside had witnessed the entire process of Chen Wan and Qin Ke dealing with those fake police officers.
Seeing Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin approach, they all cried out for help from inside.
“Help us, help us, we don’t want to die yet.”
“I don’t want to stay here anymore, please help us.”
The Mediterranean man was already on the verge of a breakdown, especially since there was still the body of a rich second-generation heir lying in the room.
The rich second-generation’s girlfriend, hearing Chen Wan and the others’ conversation, hurriedly propped herself against the wall to stand up.
“Yes, my boyfriend is still inside! I’ll let you out, I’ll do it.”
In a panic, she rushed to pull the lock on the door but couldn’t budge it at all.
Then, as if realizing something, the rich second-generation’s girlfriend quickly looked up and peered through the window into the room.
If her boyfriend heard her voice, he would definitely respond.
However, when she had pulled on the door earlier, she hadn’t heard his voice, which filled her with an inexplicable fear, especially since gunshots had just echoed from that room.
The woman hurriedly peered through the window but saw that only four people remained standing inside, while her boyfriend was already lying on the ground, covered in blood.
The woman frantically tugged at the lock, “It’s impossible! He won’t die, he can’t die!”
Seeing that the woman’s hands were starting to bleed, Chen Wan sighed and said, “Let me try. You won’t be able to open the door like this.”
With that, Chen Wan aimed the gun at the keyhole and fired a shot, causing the lock to break open.
The woman, disregarding everything, pushed the door open and rushed to her boyfriend’s side.
The people inside the room were also eager to rush out, but they were blocked by Chen Wan, who stood at the door.
The Mediterranean man felt he couldn’t stay in this place for another moment, and the others also wanted to flee.
“You need to move aside! Let us out first!”
His voice trembled slightly, but thinking of Chen Wan’s earlier skills, he didn’t dare to rush out forcefully.
