Chapter 60 - Please Call Me 'Lei Feng'!

Zhang Shiming watched the giant mosquito slowly rise into the sky, harboring some peculiar thoughts.

“Could it be that this mosquito really came to help me?

Impossible!”

However, now was not the time to be pondering such matters.

He breathed heavily, holding the gun at the two strong men while slowly backing away…

Until he reached the slope.

Zhang Shiming darted straight into the bushes!

“Bastard!

How could you have lost your handgun?!

Did you want to commit suicide or get me killed?

Have you lost your mind?”

“I…

It was all that mosquito’s doing– wait?

Where’s the mosquito?

It ran away too!” The brawny man who had lost his handgun felt wronged.

Just as he was about to turn around to find the mutant mosquito that made him lose his weapon, he found no shadow of it anywhere.

“Did you have the safety on your handgun earlier?”

Another henchman, recalling previous details, questioned.

“I didn’t even have time to turn it off, and he snatched it away from me!” The strong man whose weapon was stolen, faltered, then came to a realisation.

“That guy doesn’t know how to shoot, he didn’t even take off the safety!”

“Damn it, let’s go after him!” The other henchman pulled out the gun from behind his back.

The two men followed the escape route of the college boy, fervently pursuing him.

Ahead of them was Jia Yan.

He had already been trailing behind Zhang Shiming, the student from the Life Academy, from the first moment.

A person with combat power who also seized a gun – certainly someone who could stir up trouble at the factory.

He had to stick close to such a man!

Then, when the man acted, he could seize the opportunity to obtain the purple-red medicinal liquid!

Jia Yan watched the panting, running college boy ahead.

In his compound eyes, there was a steely determination to get his hands on the purple-red liquid.

Zhang Shiming ran with all his might, his hand holding the gun slightly trembling.

Things had gotten out of hand!

These people actually had guns.

This was truly a big power, a great conspiracy!

It was exactly like an adventure scene from a movie, right?!

He was both nervous and excited.

Not knowing how long he had been running, this third-year college student took a moment to rest under an ancient tree.

A giant, dark mosquito also remained with him and perched quietly on a tree not far away.

If the distance was kept far enough, then the buzzing of Jia Yan’s wings would not be heard by humans.

“What do I do now?”

Zhang Shiming gasped for breath, but his parched throat made the breaths dry and hot!

He was tired, he was thirsty.

But he couldn’t just lie down and rest.

His instructor and two team members were still on the run, and there was a chance they could have been captured!

If it weren’t for the assistance of the giant mosquito, his chances of survival would be slim.

“I get bitten by mosquitoes all day, but this giant one saved my life.

Is it paying a debt of gratitude?”

Zhang Shiming rolled his eyes, noticed a regular mosquito biting his arm, raises his hand to slap it, but didn’t.

In this way, he was repaying the favor of the giant mosquito.

“No, I’ll rest a few more minutes, then go back and save everyone.

Now that I have a gun, they’d have to be wary!

At the very least, I can take a couple of those guys down with me.”

After another brief rest, Zhang Shiming, feeling a little weak, stood up.

After all, he had fought with two northeastern men for over ten minutes.

Although he exercised regularly, he could only hold his own because he had tapped into his tenacity.

Otherwise, even if it was one-on-one, he might not win.

“This kid still plans to go back?”

Jia Yan, watching Zhang Shiming from his perch, inwardly admired his loyalty.

But someone failing to grasp the bigger picture would be a stubborn fool!

He was obviously so tired.

Would a little more rest kill him?

Besides, now would be the time for the enemy to be on their highest alert.

Jia Yan’s body was also not in top condition.

A foot that had sprained during the bat fight was still not agile.

Meanwhile, another foot, grazed by a strong man, was aching.

However, having come this far, he did not want to give up!

Zhang Shiming determined his direction, and once again headed towards the factory.

Meanwhile, Jia Yan was in the bushes ahead, scouting around to ensure that this kid did not blindly walk into an ambush.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Jia Yan spotted a figure in the bushes.

His compound-eye suddenly focused!

If it was one of Northeast Wild Tiger’s men, he would stealthily go over and bite him to make a noise!

This way, the Life Academy guy should be alert.

As a hidden ‘ally,’ Jia Yan felt obliged to give this warning.

This figure was petite and female, dressed in outdoor clothing.

Upon a closer look, she was trembling as she squatted in the bushes.

The sound of Zhang Shiming walking through the bushes startled the girl, causing her to shrink into herself with fear.

Wasn’t this the female student from the exploration team?

Jia Yan perched on a tree, studying her face more closely.

To his surprise, she was not only a member of the exploration team, but also the girl he had first drained blood from in the taxi, Ye Tongyu!

Several thousand kilometers apart and yet they meet again, was this destiny?

Jia Yan lamented that he was no longer human, otherwise a spark of love might have ignited.

Several thousand kilometers, and considering the previous time he saved her, he had already come to her aid twice!

It wouldn’t even be too much to offer myself to you at this point!

Alright, since I can’t be with you, I’ll play matchmaker for you two instead…

Jia Yan thought wickedly to himself, and then flew out from among the leaves.

He fluttered his wings and swooped past the side of the girl’s face with his long legs.

“Ah!”

Ye Tongyu, who was already quite tense, was suddenly startled and let out a little scream when a giant flying creature swept across her cheek.

“Who’s there?!”

Zhang Shiming, who was over on the other side, was equally surprised, his pistol already aimed in this direction.

“Huh?”

The next moment, surprised exclamations came from the mouths of the young man and woman at the same time!

The girl stood up from the bushes to find that who she was facing was not an enemy, but her fellow Life Academy student, Zhang Shiming.

Her legs gave out from under her and she almost fell to the ground.

“Hey, are you okay?!”

Zhang Shiming quickly stepped forward and caught Ye Tongyu as she was about to collapse!

What do you know, they’re hugging already.

Not bad, kiddo!

Jia Yan, hiding in the trees, laughed wickedly: My friend, that’s all I can do for you.

If you ever have a kid, don’t forget to make me its godfather!

Cough…

cough…

Please call me ‘Lei Feng’!

The appearance of Ye Tongyu on their journey caused Zhang Shiming to stop in his tracks.

The two of them had interacted before, and now Zhang Shiming felt a bit guilty about leaving a girl with no relevant knowledge alone to fend for herself in the big forest.

“Do you get it?

You just need to head towards that mountain.

No matter what you encounter on the way, don’t lose sight of your goal.

By tomorrow morning, you should be able to get out of the forest.”

As dusk was about to set in, the two of them and the mosquito hid in a deep pit to avoid being spotted.

Having eaten the two pieces of chocolate that were in the girl’s pocket, Zhang Shiming stood up.

He had already provided the girl with everything he knew about how to get out of the forest.

Whether she can make it out on her own now depends on her willpower and a bit of luck!

“Okay, I’m going to save our teachers now.

You be careful here in the forest…”

Zhang Shiming looked at Ye Tongyu, who was biting her lip and looking at him with teary eyes, and felt a strange emotion in his heart.

The more dangerous and difficult the situation, the stronger the human instinct for procreation becomes.

So it’s not surprising at all that love is born in such circumstances.

But Zhang Shiming gritted his teeth and turned to walk toward the factory!

It wasn’t long before he heard the sound of light footsteps from behind.

He turned around to find the girl gallantly following him from a short distance away.

“Two are always better than one, so I’m coming with you too!”

The two of them just looked at each other.

What a strange and inexplicable emotion this is!

A lone hero is about to embark on a dangerous journey, and a pretty girl who had to chance to escape, decides to follow him instead, determined to accompany him on this daring mission!

You could easily make a movie out of this moving story, couldn’t you?!

In no time at all, the two of them were heading towards the dark and eerie factory!

Their figures were bathed in the light of the setting sun, creating an image as if drawn from a beautiful painting…

Wow, no way…

Jia Yan was almost dumbfounded at the sight.

“Could it really be that these two have a chance?”

“A heroic man and a beautiful woman going through tough times together, what a beautiful sight.”

His compound eyes were full of gossip and curiosity!

However, if he had heard what Ye Tongyu said to Zhang Shiming just now, I bet this poetic feeling would have dissipated quite a bit!

Just now, Ye Tongyu had run up to Zhang Shiming.

Zhang Shiming had turned around.

“Are you sure you want to come with me?”

The girl almost broke down in tears.

“Because I’ve already forgotten the way back that you told me…”

Oh no, our girl with the poor memory is going to get into some real trouble…

Alright, since Jia Yan didn’t hear it, let’s just keep his beautiful memories of their touching moment intact!

As night finally fell.

The pitch-black color, as if swallowing up everything, spreading darkness and fear to all.

It was a moonless night.

In the forest, you couldn’t see your own hand in front of you!

The two battle-hardened young people finally arrived outside a building with lights on!

The real battle was about to begin!

“Now it’s night time and you guys have guns.

So let’s see how far you guys can go!”

Jia Yan looked at the factory in front of him and was full of hope for the two below.

“Tongyu, I’m going to investigate first in a place where the cameras can’t see me and check if the teachers have been captured.

If they have, I’ll rescue them.

You just wait outside.”

Zhang Shiming then immediately got up and began to move stealthily through the trees…
