Chapter 272 - 272 271 I Feel Like Brother Ning Is on

?Chapter 272: Chapter 271: I Feel Like Brother Ning Is on Vacation Chapter 272: Chapter 271: I Feel Like Brother Ning Is on Vacation Luo Ning and her team rested for over an hour before a man in his twenties dressed in military attire approached them.

He spoke first, “Are you the ones joining the rescue mission?”

Bo Xuan nodded, “Yes, that’s us. Are we departing now?”

The young man replied, “Correct, we’re setting off now.”

He emphasized with a serious expression, “I’m Liao You, the captain in charge of this search and rescue mission. You can join, but you need to follow orders.”

If it weren’t for their own lack of manpower, they wouldn’t be recruiting outsiders.

It wasn’t that they had anything against outsiders; it’s just that their own people were easier to manage, and some outsiders might even cause trouble.

Bo Xuan smiled, “Of course, we understand the rules.”

Hearing this, Liao You replied with satisfaction, “Then follow me.”

Then he noticed the young and beautiful woman standing up next to Bo Xuan and his group, looking like she was going to follow.

Liao You turned to Luo Ning and asked, “Are you also going?”

Luo Ning nodded, “Yes, is there a problem?”

Liao You frowned slightly, “You should stay behind and take the vehicle back to base.”

What use would a delicate and pretty woman like her be on a rescue mission? Were they going to rescue or protect her?

They had neither the time nor the energy to babysit her.

Luo Ning thought to herself, “…” This man really had a strong sense of male chauvinism.

“I’m part of their team and I’ve also registered to go with them,” she insisted.

She paused before adding, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t hold you back.”

She could tell at a glance what he was worried about, so she emphasized this point.

Bo Xuan also said, “Luo Ning is capable of taking care of herself and her skills are not lacking. Besides, we’re with her, and we absolutely won’t need your people to look after her.”

Despite Luo Ning’s delicate appearance, she was every bit as competent at taking down zombies as they were.

However, he didn’t elaborate further, because it was clear this man wouldn’t believe him until he saw for himself.

Fan Ye and the others also said, “Right, right, we’ll take care of our own. Don’t worry.”

They couldn’t believe this man underestimated their Brother Ning. They’d have Luo Ning dazzle him later with her capabilities.

After hearing everyone’s assurances, Liao You didn’t say more, “Fine, I hope you’ll do as you say.”

He didn’t have anything against Luo Ning; he just didn’t think such a delicate woman looked cut out for hard work.

Therefore, Luo Ning and her group followed Liao You out of the rest area.

Resources were scarce now, with only one military off-road vehicle and one large truck outside.

Several people were already sitting on the off-road vehicle, and a few others were standing at the back of the truck.

Although Liao You was concerned that Luo Ning might cause trouble, he still had someone vacate a seat from the off-road vehicle for her to sit.

Bo Xuan and the others weren’t so lucky, being split up to go on the truck.

Climbing into the truck, Yue Xiao, with a cigarette in his mouth, remarked, “As expected, beauties are appreciated everywhere!”

While the beautiful woman got to ride in the off-road, the men had to settle for the truck’s cargo bed.

Bo Xuan said with a chuckle, “Isn’t that obvious?”

“Captain Liao’s not bad,” Fan Ye said after getting on board.

They were now very approving of Luo Ning, so they were quite content with Liao You’s arrangement for her to ride in the vehicle.

Bo Xuan nodded, “Seems alright, we’ll just follow along with him for now.”

Soon after, the vehicles started and left the area, wandering in parts of the city where zombies weren’t swarming, searching for survivors to rescue.

Liao You was also in the off-road vehicle, occasionally talking with his companions and using the walkie-talkie to contact others, asking for updates.

Luo Ning quietly listened to their conversation, managing to catch two pieces of news.

Firstly, the military’s largest armory now can’t be opened since the person in charge has turned into a zombie; their fingerprint and iris are needed.

Because it’s controlled by an intelligent locking system, forcibly breaking in won’t work; it will activate a self-destruct mechanism.

Moreover, the senior official of another armory could open it, but coincidentally they went out of town on a business trip a few days ago, and now with the apocalypse upon us, the roads outside have been cut off, making it impossible to return.

The key issue is that they can’t be contacted, so the unlocking password can’t be asked for.

Another piece of news is that the leading medical research team has been trapped in their laboratory, unable to open the door due to the intelligent locking system.

This research team is very important, as they are said to be the ones who could potentially develop the antidote for the zombie virus.

However, the military has sent several rescue teams without success.

Liao You and his companions are very worried, as the scientists are treasures right now; they must figure out a way to save them.

On the road, they encountered quite a few zombies.

But Luo Ning didn’t have to lift a finger; Liao You and the others dealt with them.

Bo Xuan and the others also got out of the car and followed in killing zombies.

Luo Ning stayed in the car without getting out, simply because that’s what Liao You had instructed, so she didn’t volunteer herself.

She took out a lollipop she had found in that first room, put it in her mouth, and opened the car window, resting her hands and watching the others kill zombies outside.

[Why does it feel like Brother Ning is on vacation?]

[A bunch of tough guys killing zombies miserably, while Brother Ning relaxes in the car with a lollipop. Talk about different treatment.]

[Truth be told, if it weren’t for seeing Brother Ning easily dispatching zombies before, I would’ve thought the same as the Handsome Captain, that Brother Ning is a delicate flower that needs protection.]

[Brother Ning really isn’t shy about it; told to sit in the car, he just sits there.

Anyone else would probably have jumped out to show off and prove themselves by now.]

[Actually, Brother Ning just needs to stay pretty, like she said, what’s a beautiful woman doing killing zombies anyway!]

[Yeah, that would ruin our Brother Ning’s delicate image.]

[Exactly, Brother Ning is in charge of beauty, and we’re in charge of drooling over the screen.]

[…you bunch of face-chasers have had enough!]

The chat in the streaming was especially lively, and bystanders also found it amusing, resulting in Luo Ning attracting another wave of fans.

Three hours later, Liao You rubbed his brows with some fatigue.

The continuous zombie killing and rescues were taking a toll on their physical strength.

Luo Ning, feeling as if she hadn’t done anything, felt a bit guilty, so she took out a few bottles of water from her bag and handed them over.

Liao You took the water and drank several big gulps, “Thanks.”

Then, looking at Luo Ning with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, he said, “You know, when we get back, I’ll have someone take you to the survivor base.”

In retrospect, he shouldn’t have allowed her to come along. It was good that he had her stay in the car without getting out, as she obediently followed instructions, or else they would have had to be distracted by taking care of her.

Luo Ning shook her head, “That wouldn’t be great, would it? I still want to follow you guys on the rescue mission.”

Liao You rubbed his brow again, “But you can’t really help with anything, and it would be better to go back to the base, maybe even find something to do there.”

Luo Ning shrugged innocently, “You’re the one who told me not to get out of the car and get in the way, it’s not that I don’t want to help.”

Every time they encountered zombies, he reiterated to her not to get out of the car and interfere.

What else could she do but listen to the captain’s orders?

Besides, she didn’t want to grab a watermelon knife and hack zombies in front of a live-streaming camera; it felt a bit harsh on the eyes.

It seemed she needed to quickly find some guns and gunpowder, and ditch the watermelon knife.

“…” Liao You choked, and couldn’t bring himself to scold a woman.

Anyway, he planned to have someone take Luo Ning back to the survivor base as soon as they got back.

Before that could be arranged, suddenly an order came through, demanding their immediate support at the laboratory.

Liao You had no choice but to reluctantly continue taking Luo Ning with them on their way.
