Global Collapse

Chapter 172 Gu

The fat man glanced at the person on the ground.

Rose Night was pale and had her eyes tightly closed.

He must have heard what Hanshan said, but he didn't say anything.

The fat man watched as the boy's eyelashes fluttered wildly.

The boy probably knew he was beyond saving and wanted to say something as nonchalant as "Leave me here"; but he didn't dare to speak, so he just closed his eyes tightly and waited for others to make a decision.

He's afraid too.

The fat man silently squatted down, pulled the boy who was huddled in the corner, and then carried him on his back.

Han Shan watched silently without saying a word.

The fat man felt that the boy's muscles seemed to relax the moment he picked him up.

He heard a soft sigh of relief beside him.

The fat man continued, "Nothing is absolute; what if things take a turn for the better?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, seemingly wanting to leave the room.

But the fat man had only taken two steps with the person on his back when he heard a rustling sound outside.

At this moment, Hanshan had already silently come up and put away the door bolt.

The fat man pressed his ear against the door, listening to the sounds outside. It was a safe time, so the sounds shouldn't be coming from a ghost.

There seemed to be hurried footsteps outside, accompanied by soft voices. The people outside seemed to be looking around and talking.

"Is anyone there? I'm from the second team..."

Han Shan gently opened the door a crack and looked out.

From the fat man's perspective, he couldn't see what was happening outside the door, but he could see Hanshan's movements.

Han Shan glanced outside and then opened the door, allowing the fat man to see the situation outside.

A furtive person was peering out from a short distance away when he heard the door open and was startled.

The furtive man immediately turned around with his gun, but after seeing who it was, he paused for a moment and then gave a clumsy military salute.

"second lieutenant!"

second lieutenant?

The fat man knew that those two words were definitely not meant to refer to the boy on his back.

So you were calling the person next to you?
The fat man couldn't help but glance at Han Shan's rank again; second lieutenant didn't sound like a low-ranking officer...

The people outside had just finished saluting when they saw the boy on the fat man's back. They opened their eyes wide and asked, "What happened?"

The fat man replied, "There's a hole in my stomach. Have you seen a doctor?"

This sneaky guy's nickname is "Guiguzi Who Will Be Enraged to Life," which would probably make Guiguzi come back to life if he saw it.

Guigu frowned: "Our department has a military medic on duty, but we haven't found him yet... This guy's injuries look pretty serious, we need to find a doctor quickly, but judging from the looks of it, even if we do find a doctor, it probably won't be of much use..."

Han Shan glanced at the boy on the fat man's back, then said, "Let's move forward first."

The fat man nodded and stepped across the threshold. At that moment, Guigu also took small steps to the door. He looked around, then at the fat man, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Han Shan nodded slightly, and Gui Gu lowered his voice and said, "Lieutenant, I think I saw some familiar faces at this event."

Han Shan glanced at him: "Who?"

"They look like the Qingyun Gang. I saw a few figures that resemble them. This group seems to be looking for something. One of them is holding something that looks like a locator and is heading in one direction."

He paused for a moment at this point: "I originally wanted to follow them, but it was almost time for danger, so I hid. When I came out again, I couldn't see anyone."

The fat man's heart skipped a beat.

He still remembered what the hotel owner had said to them, and the conversation he had overheard while hiding in the closet.

"Oh no!" the fat man stamped his foot. "They must have gone to find a doctor!"

Guigu asked, somewhat puzzled, "A doctor?"

"I'm not going to talk to you about this nonsense," the fat man said, giving the person on his back another push. "Which direction did they go?"

Guigu pointed and said, "It should be ahead, but I only saw a few shadows at the time, so I don't know which direction it was."

Upon hearing this, the fat man, carrying the person on his back, took off running in that direction.

"They're up to no good! I need to find a doctor quickly and inform him before those people!" The fat man thought to himself as he moved forward quickly: "There's a wounded person here, I'll have the doctor take a look at him too."

Guigu looked at the fat man who turned and left, somewhat puzzled.

Han Shan glanced at the fat man's back a few times, then said to Gui Gu beside him, "Let's follow."

“But Lieutenant, let’s not get involved in that kind of fun, we have a mission…” Guigu wanted to say something more.

But by then Hanshan had already left, so he had no choice but to quickly follow.

As she followed, she muttered to herself, "What's so interesting about following?"

By this time, Bai Yuhu had already met up with the others. He looked at the person closest to him and asked, "Second brother, have you located the doctor yet?"

The second child, holding the locator in his hand, looked up and said, "I recorded his arrival when we were outside the event. We can find him; he's in that direction ahead, not far away."

Pipeng followed cautiously behind the two men. The locator in the old man's hand was a special item that could pinpoint a person's location.

He didn't know how the locator worked, but it was very convenient for finding people.

"Big Brother" Pi Peng looked at Bai Yuhu with some unease: "Aren't we going a bit too hasty to go like this?"

After all, he's the number one on the wanted list, so he must have considerable abilities.

Bai Yuhu laughed: "Don't worry, I was prepared. Otherwise, would I have been so blatant in chasing after you?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the group behind him: "Besides, with so many of us, surely we can handle a mere doctor? There are only three of them at most: a skinny, weak doctor, and that fat guy who looks tough, but he won't last more than a few rounds against us."

"Once we finish this deal, we'll be rich! We can upgrade our stats however we want, and spend money however we want. I haven't been to the game store in ages!"

As he spoke, he looked ahead: "I heard that in the past few months, the crops planted in those fields have inexplicably withered, and so have the fruits... It's the same in many places."
