Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 162 - : Meeting Song Qian Again

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Meeting Song Qian Again

“Many armed warriors?” Jiang Yan arched her eyebrows as she stood up, “About how many?”

The young man spoke with some excitement, “Altogether, at least a hundred! Heaven has eyes, this time, we are definitely saved!!!”

“…” Jiang Yan was secretly astonished.

A hundred warriors, what a scene that must be.

The last time that luxury cruise ship came to Shallow Bay to transport young laborers to the base, there were only about ten warriors.

It seemed they had encountered the regular army this time.

...

“You guys wait here, I’ll go and have a look first,” Sun Jingtao said as he quickly stood up and headed in the direction the young man had come from.

Hearing that the official ship had arrived, the rescued people were also very excited; they all crowded to the window.

Some from upstairs also came down, filling the corridor.

Their throats were severely damaged, and combined with their lack of clothes and food, they couldn’t shout very loudly.

But that couldn’t stop the excited joy shining on their faces.

This was, after all, a high-rise building with very few windows that could be opened, and the gaps were small.

Those people simply tore off the white bath towels from their bodies, grabbed white pillows, and despite the pain in their wrists, began frenetically waving towards the outside.

“Could everyone please make way?” Sun Jingtao shouted twice, and then the crowd at the door finally let him through.

Soon, Sun Jingtao came back with a solemn look on his face.

Jiang Yan and Ye Qing looked at each other, puzzled by his expression.

Sun Jingtao got closer and spoke softly, “Three ships, a big array, and they are heading towards this building in an encircling formation.”

“Encircling formation… coming to exterminate bandits?” Jiang Yan smiled, then suddenly understood why Sun Jingtao wore such a worried expression.

This building was hiding so many lawless bandits and held so many people and had produced so many human specimens, and now that they had wiped out everyone, the other party’s ships had arrived.

Such speed and response were quite something.

“I don’t think so,” Sun Jingtao shook his head, then continued:

“If they were coming to exterminate bandits and rescue people, they wouldn’t do it on such a grand scale. Normally, it’s a small number of assault troops who come in first, take down the bandits, control the main leaders, and then the large troops appear as support.

Because if they don’t control the opposing leaders, it’s very likely that the hostages will become their bargaining chips, making the official side’s attack very passive.”

He had rescued hostages from thugs many times, and never had it been the case from the start that a heap of people openly joined the battle.

Moreover, he had heard privately beforehand that there were serious factional struggles among the official higher-ups.

So, naturally, he felt a greater sense of crisis.

Thinking this, Sun Jingtao glanced at Jiang Yan and Ye Qing, and said, “Let’s just wait and see for a while, everyone be careful.”

Seeing Sun Jingtao looking so troubled, Ye Qing suggested, “Brother Tao, we have rubber boats, why not leave on them? Now that the official ship has arrived, these people will also be rescued, and actually, we are not needed anymore.”

Originally, they were not very keen on joining the official base.

Leaving now wouldn’t really matter.

“The opponent just happens to have covered all the blind spots, we can’t leave. We saved people, and those from Shallow Bay recognize us.

No worries, we’ll just observe the changes. It could be that I’m overthinking it, and the official ship just happened to pass by.” After speaking, Sun Jingtao gave a bitter smile,

“It might be that I’ve encountered too many bizarre events recently, or maybe it’s just my professional paranoia kicking in, feeling overly cautious like a scared bird.”

“It’s better to err on the side of caution,” Jiang Yan advised him.

Ye Qing looked at the two of them, “Then we’ll just sit tight here. If it really doesn’t work out, we can leave after the ship departs.”

Sun Jingtao nodded.

“I’m okay with that,” said Jiang Yan, who didn’t seem to mind one way or the other.

“To meet soldiers with soldiers, to meet water with earth,” was her consistent principle.

As for the ship just happening to pass by, she didn’t quite believe it.

After all, these buildings were not mature neighborhoods in Shallow Bay that housed many people.

They hadn’t even been handed over yet.

Without detailed intelligence, who would think to specifically come to such buildings?

And to arrive with three ships, all filled with armed warriors.

Yet, she hoped it was just her overthinking.

“By the way, Brother Tao, Jiang Yan, I’ve set up a separate frequency; here are two radios for you. In case of necessity, it will be convenient for us to contact each other.”

Ye Qing opened his backpack and pulled out two radios, the military type used by Golden Shield Security.

Apparently, he had picked them up from someone else.

“Xiao Ye, well done,” Sun Jingtao praised as he reached out to (continued) take one.

Jiang Yan did the same.

Just after they stored the radios, three ships had already docked outside the building.

They were arrayed in an inverted A formation; the closest two were very close together.

The remaining one was at a considerable distance.

The light inside the building dimmed suddenly with the docked ships outside.

That ship was quite large, very similar to the tourist cruise ship that last came to Shallow Bay to pick up people for the base.

Only this time, the top deck was filled with armed warriors.

And on the side, there were no names of any tourist spots.

The gangway was quickly lowered, “Bang bang bang bang!” came the sound of the warriors running in unison.

Within two seconds, a line of armed warriors quickly entered the building from several entrances.

A few came onto their floor as well.

The warriors split into two groups; the majority clattered upstairs while a few stayed on the scene.

The people who had been crowded in the corridor, though bewildered, quickly made way for the warriors.

“Excuse me, young brother, are you here to pick us up?” someone raised their hand and weakly asked the nearest warrior.

However, the warrior didn’t even blink, holding his gun with a seriousness akin to a clay sculpture.

The questioner’s expression turned awkward for a second.

The scene abruptly fell silent.

No one dared to ask further, nor did anyone dare to make a sound.

Jiang Yan and the others stood at the very back of the crowd, silently observing.

The warriors seemed to be searching inside the building.

“Bang bang bang bang.” Heavy footsteps came from the nearby gangway.

A woman with an ear-length bob and a very professional demeanor walked in, accompanied by a tall and imposing warrior.

Although the day had brightened considerably, the light inside was still very dim.

She scanned the crowd for a while before her eyes adjusted to the indoor light.

Jiang Yan glanced at the two people and her heart skipped a beat.

Weren’t these two Qi Mengnan and Song Qian whom she had encountered the last time she went out shopping at sea?

What were they doing here…

While she was pondering, she heard Qi Mengnan point out a few people and say,

“You, you, you, and you, please come with me.”
