A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

On the bridge, Song Wenyuan and his companion stood together, seemingly chatting, but their eyes kept falling on An Ning and the woman who had struck up a conversation with her.

"Brother Hai, why is that woman clinging to that mother and daughter? What should we do? If she stays with them, the boat might reach the other side soon."

Song Wenyuan remained silent for a while before saying, "Let the people in the cabin make their move first. There's some distance between here and the cabin, and the sound of the waves is quite loud. As long as no shots are fired, the noise shouldn't reach this side. As for the last one, we'll catch her when they separate."

"Okay, I'll head down now."

"Yes, watch my hand gesture."

An Ning couldn't hear anything from inside the cabin. After guessing what was going on with the other person, she tried to agree with what they were saying.

Her transformation was very natural, giving the impression that she had previously been pressured by her superiors and dared not discuss the matter with anyone.

But after she realized that the other person was the same kind of person as her, she finally couldn't help but speak her mind.

Sure enough, once she hinted at this idea, the female spy became more talkative and bolder, even starting to describe the wonderful life abroad.

Of course, this is just Anning's summary after peeling back the layers. The other party certainly didn't say it so bluntly. All the content was said in her grandmother's name so that even if she was arrested, she could still make an explanation.

"...That's the downside of China. They control everything, and if you say something wrong, you'll be dragged out for criticism. It's much freer and more democratic abroad. They value human rights, and this kind of unfair treatment would never happen there."

An Ning showed an envious expression at the right moment. Just as she was about to continue trying to get more information out of her, the female spy suddenly looked at the time on her watch and then her expression changed.

An Ning knew something was wrong, but before she could react, the female spy pulled out a revolver from somewhere and pressed it against her waist.

At that moment, Song Wenyuan, who was on the bridge, saw this scene and immediately straightened his body.

But he quickly realized that he couldn't show himself yet, not even in front of the spies who were about to be captured, so he retreated and simply gave a hand gesture to his men.

A dozen or so soldiers who had been lying in ambush on the ship surrounded them: "Don't move! You're surrounded. You can't go anywhere on the ship."

The female spy said to the soldiers, "You're the ones who shouldn't move. She's a military wife. If you don't want her to die, prepare a lifeboat for me."

The soldiers were silent for a moment: "Wait a minute, let's discuss this."

"My patience is limited, don't keep me waiting too long, or I'll kill you!" After shouting, she whispered in Anning's ear, "Don't be nervous. You have the same thoughts as me, and you're also dissatisfied with the current situation in the country. I won't hurt you."

Even now, the female spy hasn't given up on sowing discord within Anning. She finally found an opportunity to get to know a military wife she could influence, and she couldn't wait to plant a thorn in the side of the military.

If she can successfully retire this time, she will be able to obtain a steady stream of intelligence from within the military.

Seemingly noticing An Ning's tension, she continued to reassure her, "That's the good thing about these soldiers; they won't lay a hand on civilian hostages once they've captured them. Don't worry, I'll release you once I'm safe. You're a military wife, and we're meeting for the first time, so they won't suspect you."

"Could you... let my child stay here?" Anning stammered, as if she were terrified. "I... I'll be your hostage myself. She's still young and might hold you back."

The female spy readily agreed.

"Ni'er, go to the ship and find that crew member uncle. Ask him to take you to your father."

The little girl was terrified by the sudden turn of events and looked at her mother helplessly.

She pouted, holding back the tears welling in her eyes, not daring to cry.

"Go quickly, be good, listen to your mother," Anning urged.

The little girl kept turning back to look at her mother as she ran out of the encirclement, despite her mother's stern expression.

When Song Wenyuan saw An Ning bring the child out from the bridge tower, his face turned completely dark.

The intelligence on these spies is extremely important to them, as it will affect whether they decide to go to war with the country to the south. Therefore, even if they kill her on the spot, they will never let her leave.

But if he doesn't release her, his wife will...

He pushed his back teeth together and made a decision.

"Archie, give me the gun, and you go and take the girl to a safe place."

The distance from the bridge tower to the deck where Anning is located is within range of a pistol, but the margin of error would be large, so a single-shot rifle is more reliable.

But the female spy had received professional training and used her anatomy to cover herself completely, with her vital parts not being exposed at all.

He had to seize the fleeting opportunity, or he might end up hurting his wife.

When he picked up the gun, Song Wenyuan, who was known as a sharpshooter, actually trembled a little.

Song Wen was far away and unaware of the situation, but An Ning knew.

Ten years into the apocalypse, all sorts of weapons have appeared on the market, including ancient artifacts from many years ago.

Most handguns need to be cocked, but the gun that the female spy who was holding her hostage was not cocked; she had just taken it out and pressed it against her back.

Just like she said, it was all just for show.

However, she was unsure if the other party had any other tricks up their sleeve, so to ensure everything went smoothly, she still asked Xiao Ni'er to leave her side.

Once the little girl was in a safe place, Anning also began to move.

She delivered a powerful elbow strike to the female spy's ribs, and before the spy could cry out, she stomped on her toes and slammed her head back.

After a series of punches, the female spy was temporarily rendered incapacitated, and An Ning was able to break free from her grasp.

Immediately afterward, with a "bang," the female spy's right hand holding the gun emitted a flurry of sound, and the pistol fell onto the deck with a crisp sound.

Even after being captured by the soldiers, she looked at Anning with a blank expression, not understanding why she had made such a choice.

An Ning didn't say anything, but simply gave the other person a gentle smile and pulled the little girl who had run over into her arms.

This scene was witnessed by Song Wenyuan on the bridge tower. At that moment, he felt as if his heartbeat had stopped for half a beat, and he had an impulse to rush forward and recognize the other person regardless of everything.

But he held back.

His current identity was established after a long period of time and is crucial to his actions during this period. He cannot reveal even a trace of it to his wife.

Song Wenyuan stood on the bridge tower, watching Anning and his daughter until they left, before returning to his usual self.

"Collect the team."
