Yan Shuzhou also brought over a few pieces of cardboard and sat on the ground with Miao Yin, leaning against the wall.

"Are your wounds all healed?" Miao Yin asked.

Deng Zhize gave a shy smile: "It's nothing, I'm fine. It seems someone in the neighborhood has a pet that's about to give birth, so I bought a first-aid kit, which happened to have alcohol and bandages inside."

"That's good. If an infection or something had happened, that would have been troublesome. By the way, did your hand... encounter some powerful mutant?" Miao Yin glanced at his bandaged severed arm with some reluctance.

Deng Zhize's smile held a hint of bitterness: "We did encounter a powerful mutant. During the retreat, he bit me, and I had no choice but to..."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." The girl's beautiful eyebrows drooped, her face full of guilt.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Deng Zhize said, waving his hands repeatedly.

Unexpectedly, Peng Si suddenly slapped him on the back of the head.

"Ouch!" He glanced at his captain, touched the spot where he had been slapped, and didn't dare to utter a word in rebuttal.

Miao Yin looked at their actions with some confusion.

Peng Si, with his hands on his knees, asked, "Why hasn't that young man said a word? Is he injured?"

Suddenly called upon, Yan Shuzhou pursed his lips somewhat awkwardly, moved closer to Miao Yin, and did not answer.

Miao Yin patted his head reassuringly and said to them, "My brother is introverted and doesn't dare to speak to strangers."

"So that's how it is," Peng Si said knowingly.

The conversation ended there, and the delivery room suddenly fell silent, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Miao Yin got tired of sitting and leaned against Yan Shuzhou, idly fiddling with his fingers, her eyes somewhat indifferent.

These three soldiers appeared to be very kind to them, but in reality they were very wary of them, and even carried their weapons on their backs at all times, ready to be used at any moment.

They didn't refute his statement that he came in through the hole in the main gate, even though they knew the gate's condition best.

I believe that if the delivery room hadn't been completely out of food, they probably wouldn't have even accepted her food.

How cautious! No wonder they've had professional training. From the very beginning, the three of them must have put them on the danger list.

Think about what's out of place about yourself...

Oh, I see.

At this point, compared to ordinary citizens, members of the military and government are more aware of the existence of people with superpowers and the impact they can have.

After walking through the bustling area filled with such abnormal people, one person looked like he had just fought a fierce battle and was in a sorry state, while the other person was still dressed neatly and had a rosy complexion, showing no signs of having fled.

They probably already guessed her identity as a superpowered individual, so they dared not act rashly. After all, they had two wounded men, and their chances of winning a head-on confrontation with an unknown superpower were too low.

As for Yan Shuzhou, they are probably still assessing him and are unsure if he has any special abilities, which is why they asked him that question just now to test him.

If I had acted a little more aggressively just now, would I have had a gun pointed at my head?

Sigh, it's so sad. She's so friendly to humans, but no one believes her when she's out and about. It hurts her so much.

……

……Um?

With her enhanced senses, Miao Yin heard the distant noises and sat up straight without making a sound.

The noise quickly grew louder, and could even be faintly heard inside the delivery room.

Peng Si, as the team leader, immediately stood up, gripped his gun, and approached the door. Deng Zhize and Qiu Jing also quickly went to their posts.

"You two go over there quickly," Deng Zhize said sternly.

So Miao Yin and Yan Shuzhou moved away from the vicinity of the door and walked behind them.

The noise grew louder and closer to the delivery room, and it became clear that the shouts were a mix of men and women.

"They might be residents of the community; they've run out!" Deng Zhize said anxiously.

Peng Si made a quick decision: "Qiu Jing, prepare to open the door. Deng Zhize, stay behind and guard the rear."

"Yes!" x2.

Qiu Jing removed the shelf blocking the door, picked up a pistol and pointed it outside. After the captain nodded, she quickly opened the door.

The area outside was safe, with no mutants lurking there. However, in the nearby property lobby, several adults ran in with children, followed by several mutants.

The mutated people were incredibly fast, and just as the residents were about to be caught, Peng Si raised his gun and gave the order.

"Prepare for rescue!"

"Yes!"

Because Qiu Jing was carrying a pistol, it was too far away to shoot, so she ran out and found a pillar to use as cover to protect the fleeing residents.

Peng Si aimed his rifle at the deformed man and shot him in the head just before he was about to pounce on a child!

The residents then discovered that there were soldiers in the delivery room, and immediately pulled the people around them towards them.

"Help! Help!" they cried.

The mutants chased after them, and Qiu Jing used her guns to slow them down, giving the residents time to escape.

The mutated humans, their movements interrupted, roared angrily and charged toward Qiu Jing.

Qiu Jing had a bad feeling, but she remained calm and composed on the surface.

She fired a few shots quickly, then retreated around a few pillars towards the delivery room.

But the pistol's magazine was too small, and the bullets ran out quickly, so she had to run back and forth to reload during the gaps in the magazine.

Peng Si also noticed her situation and immediately switched the gun to cover for her, preventing her from being bitten.

With their perfect teamwork, the mutant was shot and disoriented, and several residents took advantage of the chaos to run into the delivery room.

Qiu Jing should have started preparing to retreat when everyone was almost at the delivery room.

But who would have thought that a slow-moving man would attract the attention of the mutants, and just when he was about to be caught, he ruthlessly pulled the woman next to him behind him to shield her from the disaster!

The woman was holding a little girl's hand. When he pulled her, they both fell to the ground. The woman held the little girl and protected her in her arms.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Jing disregarded her own safety and took the initiative to step out from behind the protective pillar, exposing herself to the mutant.

She had already loaded her gun and fired two shots at the woman's mouth, one shattering its teeth and the other piercing its nape.

The deformed woman covered her mouth and leaned back in pain. Qiu Jing took the opportunity to slide over and pull the woman up.

"Get in quickly!"

The woman, her face streaked with tears, pulled her daughter along and limped inside.

The mutated man, whose meal had been interrupted by Qiu Jing, angrily swung his claws at her, leaving a large bloody gash on her body!

Qiu Jing felt the pain and immediately rolled twice on the ground to avoid its attack range. However, at this moment, the mutated humans, having lost their original target, all focused their attention on her, the only one still present.

One by one, the deformed people began to approach her.

"Qiu Jing, retreat!" Peng Si, who had already met the mother and daughter, shouted.
