Bang! With a heavy sound, the young man crashed onto the armored vehicle’s roof, rolling towards the edge from the momentum, caught mid-waist by Zhou Rong, who kicked open the roof, both falling into the vehicle cabin with a loud clang.
“Rong Ge!” “Captain!”
Team members rushed forward, helping the two up, with Yan Hao setting the autopilot and signaling a teammate to take over, quickly diving into the rear cabin: “Are you okay, Captain?”
“Hiss hiss hiss…” Zhou Rong grimaced while getting up: “My old waist…”
Behind him, the young man swiftly dodged the helping hands, stepping back to the corner and standing straight.
Through the motorcycle helmet, he silently gazed at these people.
This is a special forces team, he thought.
Surprisingly, these robust and strong team members were all Betas, and in the limited vehicle space, there was no trace of an Alpha’s aggressive pheromones.
“My surname is Zhou, Zhou as in ‘military and war’, not the ‘rong’ from Huang Rong.”
Our bullets and supplies are running low, and even refueling feels illegal during these chaotic times.”
“What do you think caused this virus outbreak? A mutated rabies virus or some genetic warfare tactic by the American powers targeting our country? We were watching the news broadcast, and last night the TV signals and shortwave radio went out. I’m sad about missing the shows I’ve followed for half a year – ‘The People’s City Management Squad’ and ‘The People’s Broadcasting Bureau’. But what I’m most sorry about is…”
Zhou Rong clicked his lighter and took a deep drag, turning back to see his team members trembling, with the side window of the vehicle wide open, wind howling in.
“We’re… leaving,” a junior member said: “Just climbed out the window…”
“When did you leave?”
“During the news broadcast.”
Zhou Rong was silent for a moment: “What a pity. I was just about to recommend ‘The People’s Development and Reform Commission’ Season 8 to him.”
The young man did not answer, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the door, passing by the two men.
Unexpectedly, as he was about to pass by, Zhou Rong grabbed his arm: “Hey…”
“Are you following me?”
