Chapter 697: Chapter 693 Su Sigui breaks the door_1

Xingnan Base has been occupied by Su Sigui. As the one who controlled the base, it was certain that he wouldn’t survive under Su Sigui’s control. This situation bore a striking resemblance to Li Henian taking over Qinshan Base and the predicament Li Songhua found himself in.

Apart from this situation, the man surnamed Yang had another path, which matched Li Songhua’s plan to escape from the base when the zombie horde attacked. He could seek help from a different force, hand over Xingnan Base, and then become a dependent of that force.

Yet, this option was far from desirable for the man surnamed Yang unless his situation was absolutely hopeless, just like Li Songhua.

Yet, the realization of this hope also required Li Songhua to overcome a difficult obstacle. The Li Henian in front of him and the zombies outside gathering for a revolt posed a formidable challenge, causing both men to fall silent for a moment.

"Since you know about that thing already, even though I haven’t fully figured out the Dragon Pearl, killing Li Henian... I can’t guarantee success. If it fails..." Li Songhua didn’t finish, he just gave the man a knowing look.

The masked man, who had been observing the room’s layout, turned around and looked at them with interest, seemingly intrigued by the ’Dragon Pearl’ they mentioned. In fact, he had no idea what the Dragon Pearl was and was planning to ask the man surnamed Yang about it after they finished talking.

The air stood silent for a dozen seconds, until a clamor suddenly erupted outside, as if someone was shouting loudly. However, the soundproofing here was excellent, so the loud sounds outside indicated that something massive was taking place.

A question arose. Why was that person shouting? It seemed deliberate!

These two men, along with the masked man, were taken aback and directed their gaze towards the room’s door, clueless about what was happening outside.

"Mayor Su, you cannot enter here!"

"Our leader said that no one is allowed to see him, please go back."

"Step forward again, and don’t blame us for being rude!"

"Rude, how exactly do you plan to be rude to me?"

The crisp and chilling voice from outside penetrated through their bones, evoking a sense of fear.

Then, something was thrown onto the ground, a dull thud echoed through the air followed by a shattering scream. The three people inside heard the sound of something being violently torn apart, making a "swooshing" sound!

"What’s happening?" The man surnamed Yang was dumbfounded, for he recognized that female voice all too well!

"...Who is it outside?"

"Seems like Su Sigui!"

"What?" Li Songhua was greatly alarmed. He could not believe that Su Sigui would come here. The entire situation felt surreal to him. He thought he would never cross paths with Su Sigui, yet here she was, so close to him!

It was like watching a famous celebrity on television before the Apocalypse, knowing that you’d never have the chance to meet them. But then, one day, that celebrity unexpectedly came seeking him, creating a feeling of absurdity, as if he was in a dream.

"No good, I can’t let her in, she must be here for me!" The man surnamed Yang shuddered, a deep fear flashed in his eyes. Thinking of Su Sigui’s terrifying power, his mind went blank, his body felt as though it was plunged into an icy pit!

Hearing his words, Li Songhua also panicked, instinctively assuming that Su Sigui was here to find the man surnamed Yang, and then kill him! This collaboration was their lifeline, if one of them died, the other would lose all hope!

Li Songhua didn’t believe that Su Sigui was coming to help him.

Both men dared not speak, fearing that Su Sigui would discover their presence the moment they made a sound!

However, the commotion outside kept increasing, the sound of cold steel slicing through flesh echoed in the ears of Li Songhua and the man surnamed Yang, getting closer and closer, a massacre was taking place outside!

"Director Li, do you have a backdoor here?" The man surnamed Yang asked in excitement. A hidden room like this usually has an escape tunnel, he was just not sure where Li Songhua had placed it.

Upon hearing his question, Li Songhua came to his senses and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, follow me."

With that, he rushed towards a bookshelf in a few steps, fumbling to remove the books, presumably searching for something.

However, it was all too late. Due to his panic or perhaps some other reasons, Li Songhua couldn’t find what he was looking for.

"Damn it, not on this shelf, it should be on this one!" He cursed and moved his focus to the next shelf. But before his hand could touch the first book, a clear female voice rang out from outside.

"Li Songhua, do you want to open the door yourself or shall I break it down?" The voice from outside was sharp, yet without any emotions, making it all the more terrifying.

No one inside the room answered. They doubted whether the other party had X-ray vision or could somehow tell there were people inside. What if it was just a bluff?

Therefore, Li Songhua and the man surnamed Yang exchanged glances, froze in place, as if time had stopped.

Observing their behavior, the mysterious masked man was initially puzzled, but then recalled the solid door they’d entered through and grew thoughtful. However, an idea soon struck him and he quickly turned to face the two men.

"Su Sigui? That sounds familiar."

Neither man responded to his query, their eyes glued to the door. Upon hearing his words, their hearts pounded violently, filled with anxiety.

Seeing their reactions, the man behind the mask narrowed his eyes. The more he thought about the name ’Su Sigui’, the more familiar it seemed. At first, he thought it was simply these two men’s nemesis, but seeing their fear, he started to reconsider.

He recalled a prominent figure from S Province bearing the surname ’Su’, whose name was a nightmare for many. He vaguely remembered something, and his gaze flashed as he asked again, "Su Sigui, she’s one of your Level 6 New Humans in S Province, isn’t she?"

The chaos outside quieted down, and only the masked man’s questioning voice filled the room. Yet, no one responded.

The atmosphere was strange and mysterious. The masked man felt a chill in his heart. He could now understand the fear these two men were feeling. Having a Level 6 New Human coming to kill you and even now standing outside the door, how could they not be afraid?

His own body stiffened as he slowly turned around, his gaze focusing on the door.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud noise reverberated through the room. The fifty-millimeter-thick door made of H-beams trembled, a fist-sized imprint had appeared on it.

"Li Songhua, it seems like I’ll have to break down the door."

Su Sigui’s sneering voice echoed from the other side.
