After the gunshots, the expected death did not come.

Zhao Xiaonan opened his eyes and just saw a mercenary rushing forward and falling to the ground.

Another gunshot ended the life of another mercenary.

Zhao Xiaonan endured the pain in his limbs and sat up, struggling to find the only remaining bottle of medical glue, gritting his teeth and spraying it on the wound.

Then, reluctantly, she picked up the submachine gun and crawled to another bend on her knees and forearms.

It was a long time after the gunshot rang out, and she could barely see a tall and thin figure in the faint light.

She was a little disappointed, not Han Jianfei.

I don't know if it's friend or foe, but her trembling hands can't pull the trigger anymore.

Despite this, the stubborn girl trembled and raised the submachine gun in her right hand as if she were carrying a thousand heavy burdens.

Facing the trembling muzzle, the black shadow did not panic in the slightest, and said with a smile: "Relax, I am not your enemy." ”

Zhao Xiaonan did not relax her vigilance at all, and as the figure kept approaching, although the muzzle of her gun kept trembling, it never left the man's chest.

"Stop!" She shouted in a faint voice, a few drops of sweat dripping from her forehead hair and sliding down the high bridge of her nose.

The tall and thin figure stopped, raised his hands, and signaled that he had no weapons: "Black Mamba, don't be afraid, I'm not your enemy, when Brother Fei went to see Sixth Brother, he asked me for help." ”

As he spoke, he slowly turned on a cold firework and threw it at his feet, completely exposing himself to Zhao Xiaonan.

"Who are you?" Zhao Xiaonan instinctively didn't trust anyone, but the situation in front of her left her without any choice.

"My name is Partridge," a dark shadow showed his face in the pale blue cold light, it was a flat-headed man, tall and thin, with two guns, one long and one short, at his waist, "Listen, I don't have time to explain too much, those people are about to chase after me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of mercenaries were heard from the communicators of the two corpses behind him, who had cleared the obstacles and were chasing after the pipeline.

The man's face changed suddenly, and he stepped on the cold flame with one foot, and couldn't help but say that he picked up Zhao Xiaonan: "I really don't have time to go again, tell me, can you go out if you go forward?" ”

Zhao Xiaonan let him carry his back, and said weakly: "There is a dead end ahead." ”

The partridge shuddered, turned its head and walked back.

Loud footsteps could be heard at the entrance, and the pursuing soldiers, apparently having spotted the death of two of their teammates, were heading this way.

The partridge had no choice but to carry Zhao Xiaonan on his back and continue to walk deeper into the pipe.

"They're here!" He heard a voice, and the enemy seemed to have found the body on the ground.

The partridge carried Zhao Xiaonan forward at a speed that was not commensurate with his body.

The two soon came to the end of this pipeline, which was a dead end that did not connect to any other pipeline, according to Dobby's drawings to Zhao Xiaonan.

When the two reached the end of the pipe, they saw a closed door.

"What's inside?" Partridge asked.

"I want to know...... That's it. Zhao Xiaonan replied weakly.

As the pursuers drew nearer, and there was no time to think about it, the partridge turned the axle and opened the heavy iron door.

Behind the iron gate, there is a pipe that slopes downward, and I don't know where it leads.

The partridge glanced back at the girl who was half-lying on her shoulder: "Do you want to jump?" ”

Zhao Xiaonan nodded: "It's better to fall to death than to be caught by them." ”

Partridge smiled, "I like your character. ”

With that, he jumped down the pipe.

The pipe was steep and long, and after the two had slipped in the pipe for a long time, they suddenly fell vertically down and into an underground river.

The huge impact instantly made Zhao Xiaonan unconscious.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a small but clean bed.

She struggled to sit up, but her limbs were held in place by drywall, and after several attempts, she had to give up.

The bed was in a small room with a small window, and a small wooden door could be seen in the light through the window.

After confirming that he was not captured by Chen Mingyuan's people, Zhao Xiaonan rolled his eyes and fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, Zhao Xiaonan finally felt a gurgling sound in her abdomen, and she was a little hungry.

Just when the partridge pushed open the small wooden door and walked in with a bowl of porridge, seeing that she was awake, he put the porridge next to the bed and grinned: "Awake?" ”

"Where is this?" Zhao Xiaonan couldn't move, so he could only squint at the flat-headed man with his eyes.

The partridge helped her to sit up half-sitting: "Don't worry, it's safe here, Chen Mingyuan and the sixth brother's people won't come." ”

Hearing the title of "Sixth Brother" from his mouth again, Zhao Xiaonan couldn't help but ask, "Sixth Brother is Zhai Liu?" ”

Partridge nodded, placed the porridge bowl in front of her, and handed a spoon to her right hand, which she could barely raise.

Zhao Xiaonan took a sip of porridge: "That's what Han Jianfei said, my predecessor?" ”

The partridge hesitated, then nodded.

"Call him Sixth Brother, then you are also from Baishan Company?"

The partridge said, "Yes." ”

"Then why did you save me?"

The partridge said: "If there is still a person standing on Feige's side in Baishan now, I'm afraid it will be me." ”

Zhao Xiaonan pinched the spoon with difficulty, drank the porridge in small sips, and asked while drinking, "Why do you want to help us?" ”

"I'll ask him to help." Outside the small wooden door, a somewhat familiar old voice came.

The partridge stood sideways, Zhao Xiaonan followed the voice and looked over, and a familiar figure walked into the room.

It was the old President Feng Pinghai who came in.

"Partridges are my people." The old president said, "Of course, he is also an admirer of Han Jianfei, so you don't have to worry about anything wrong with him." ”

Zhao Xiaonan thought to himself, you are so generous to admit that he is your spy, and you want me not to worry.

She looked at the door, and the old president had come alone, and there was no one else behind him.

"At that time of the assassination in Peace Square, he was arranged by Zhai Liu on the front line, so at that time, I knew who Chen Mingyuan and Zhai Liu were targeting, but I didn't know that it was to kill Han Jianfei." The old president continued.

"Before shooting, the partridge used an invisible light signal in a way that only Han Jianfei knew, to tell him that he was being assassinated, which is why he knew in advance that a gunman was aiming at him."

"Later, when you left me, I asked Partridge to find a way to contact him, and he has been assisting Han Jianfei in the subsequent operation - this is also the condition we talked about in the café."

Zhao Xiaonan recalled the assassination of the left-wing political coalition, and there were indeed many places where someone assisted, but she didn't think much about it at the time.

"Actually, on the day the main gun was fired, the partridge was there." The old president said, "But he saw Han Jianfei hit by the main artillery with his own eyes, but there was nothing he could do." ”

Listening to the old president's statement, it seemed that he also thought that Han Jianfei was dead, Zhao Xiaonan couldn't help but want to tell the kind old man the news that Han Jianfei might not be dead, and nodded: "In that case, no one can do anything." ”

Old President Feng didn't seem to have anything to hide, and he was very frank about the news that Zhao Xiaonan knew or didn't know before.

According to President Feng, after the shelling, he had people search and rescue him, but he did not find anything of value except for a melted mirror.

After that, under the leadership of the old president, the Alliance Military Administration, the Ministry of Defense, and the Alliance Fleet set up a joint investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the destroyer's violation of military orders and secretly use lethal weapons on the surface of the capital star, shot and killed the three main parties, and dealt with more than 400 relevant responsible persons.

After that, a deputy commander of the alliance fleet and the deputy commander-in-chief of the capital star circle garrison resigned, but Chen Mingyuan was a blessing in disguise and jumped into the military administration and became a member of the alliance's highest military management body.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xiaonan has felt more pressure when he acted during this period of time.

Although no body or direct evidence was found, almost everyone confirmed that Han Jianfei was dead, but Chen Mingyuan and Zhai Liu did not stop attacking all possible remnants of Han Jianfei's forces, especially after confirming that there was a huge network of ghost pipelines under the entire capital star, as well as the secret base that Han Jianfei painstakingly operated.

So, after conducting big data analysis of the location, path and time of Zhao Xiaonan's many actions and appearances, Chen Mingyuan's people groped for the approximate location of the ghost base.

After deliberately releasing news related to Han Jianfei several times and transferring Zhao Xiaonan, with the full cooperation of the Baishan Company now controlled by Zhai Liu, the engineering troops of the Alliance Army finally determined the location of the ghost base.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaonan was a little annoyed, if Han Jianfei was still there, he would definitely not let this kind of thing happen.

"I think," Zhao Xiaonan said, "If I were Chen Mingyuan, I would definitely not reveal to you such key information as the location of the ghost base, and if Han Jianfei happened to leave something behind, he would just swallow it alone." ”

"That's right, so we don't know exactly where the ghost base is."

"So," Zhao Xiaonan's face sank, "how did the partridge find me and save my life just right?" ”

"I don't know what other ghost bases there are, but I just need to follow the sixth brother...... Zhai Liu's people will do it. "It's not hard to track them anyway, I've been doing it all this time." ”

"That's right," nodded the old president, "after that you fell into an underground river, which, fortunately, flowed into a basin not far from where you fell into the water. ”

"So, since Han Jianfei is dead, why do you have to go to such great lengths to save me?"

The old president's eyes quickly swept over Zhao Xiaonan's hand holding the spoon and the thick bandage on his hand: "Girl, I just want to ask you if Han Jianfei left you anything - that thing is very important to the alliance." ”

"Nope." Zhao Xiaonan shook his head.

Sure enough, there is no lunch in the world that doesn't cost money, and in her opinion, the old president finally can't wait.

But then, the old president's words were like dropping a bombshell on her head.

"If anything, I think that thing might have something to do with the Boxwood massacre a few years ago."
