"I might need you to do something for me, can you?"
Qin Chuan quickly nodded and asked Xu An, "Tell me, what is it?"
Xu An pointed to the building opposite. "That window, can you shoot through it?"
Qin Chuan's dynamic vision was no worse than Xu An's. After Xu An pointed at the window, he immediately saw Sun Er standing inside.
"You want to kill him?"
This was almost a statement of fact.
Xu An stepped forward, said nothing more, and simply handed the sniper rifle to Qin Chuan.
The implication was clear: would he do it or not?
Qin Chuan was too astonished to speak. He had no time to bother with the sniper rifle that clearly shouldn't be here.
"Wait for the main military force to arrive, and I will apprehend him. You don't need to get your hands dirty here."
Qin Chuan tried to persuade him. He wasn't pleading for Sun Er, but rather felt it wasn't worth it for Xu An, or rather, he didn't want to see Xu An kill.
To this day, he couldn't forget that time in the desert when Xu An shed a tear over someone dying before his eyes.
Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, the hope that had just arisen in Xu An's heart immediately dimmed.
"You know, I can't let him live."
Qin Chuan didn't ask any further questions. Just as Xu An was about to retract the sniper rifle, Qin Chuan suddenly said, "Give it to me."
Qin Chuan had many doubts in his heart, such as why, after they hung up the phone, the zombies suddenly began to gather, and why the zombies were so persistent in chasing Sun Er's direction.
Or where this sniper rifle came from, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh.
Just as Qin Chuan knew that Xu An couldn't dispel his doubts, he also couldn't make Xu An fully trust him.
Qin Chuan walked to the window and then understood why Xu An had asked for his help.
Although the distance between the two buildings was not large, there were many obstacles.
To cleverly bypass these obstacles and successfully shoot through the window on the other side was definitely not a small feat.
Xu An watched Qin Chuan's actions and couldn't help but ask, "Are you confident?"
They only had one chance. If Sun Er was alerted, who knew if he would seal the window completely with something.
Qin Chuan didn't answer, but nodded slightly in response.
He adjusted his breathing, hunched over, as if he had merged with the sniper rifle in front of him.
With each inhale and exhale, he swayed back and forth with the movement of his hair.
Zhou Haimei pulled Xu An back a step and whispered in Xu An's ear.
"Let's not disturb him. Judging by his demeanor, he's probably in the zone. If we're here, it might affect Qin Chuan's performance."
Xu An nodded and took Zhou Haimei away from Qin Chuan.
At this moment, Qin Chuan seemed to have merged with the rooftop.
If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't even notice that there was someone here.
After a short while, with a "咻—" sound of the gunshot, it was followed by the sound of breaking glass.
The glass on Sun Er's side shattered.
And the bullet, after piercing the glass, didn't stop, but went straight into Sun Er's body.
Although Sun Er dodged quickly enough, the bullet still hit his thigh.
Xu An was not far away and saw everything clearly.
She was a little confused. Didn't Qin Chuan not want to kill Sun Er, so why did he go this far?
After being hit by the bullet, Sun Er instinctively dodged into the corner, realizing that someone was trying to kill him from the shadows.
The strong smell of blood further stimulated the surrounding zombies.
Within seconds, zombies had already broken through the shattered window and were crawling in through the shards of glass.
It wasn't until he saw the zombie, its face full of glass shards, crawl into the room that fear appeared on Sun Er's face.
His entire face contorted, and he roared incessantly.
"Damn it, save me, damn it, you bunch of good-for-nothings, hurry up and save me. Don't you want to know the location of the antibody? If I die, you'll never find out where the antibody is!"
"Damn it, save me, save me, I don't want to die here!"
As the zombies drew closer, Sun Er's roars gradually weakened.
Until finally, the only sound in the room was the chewing of zombies.
The person hiding in the shadows pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke to the person on the other end.
"Boss, the target is dead. Someone tried to kill him, and I couldn't protect him."
"........"
"The antibody was not found."
"Okay, understood."
The man put away his binoculars and sniper rifle, his hooded face revealing a sliver of a pale jawbone.
Adding a touch of mystery to the man.
Only when the commotion across the way subsided did Qin Chuan lower his gun and turn to look at Xu An.
"Sun Er is dead."
Xu An nodded. "Thank you."
She didn't say much but stepped forward, disassembled the gun, and put it away.
"Now can you tell us how you attracted all the zombies?"
Zhou Haimei's expression flickered with a moment of panic.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly control zombies?"
Xu An's hand paused as she tidied up. She didn't know why Qin Chuan was asking this question, nor why he would suspect them.
Qin Chuan unhurriedly walked to a set of stairs and sat down without caring whether it was clean or not.
"Before, Xu An's mother was hiding in the Xingxin convenience store, right? You went there afterward, and when you left the convenience store, the entire street nearby was overrun with zombies."
"But because the people in that convenience store escaped in time, except for a few who went back to find their deaths, most of them managed to escape."
"I'm not wrong, am I?" Qin Chuan asked, word by word.
Zhou Haimei's face instantly fell. "Captain Qin, is your tone like you're interrogating a criminal?"
Qin Chuan's tone faltered, as if he hadn't expected Zhou Haimei to retort.
"Zhou Haimei, I hope you haven't forgotten your identity!"
It was better not to mention it. Upon hearing this, the usually cheerful face of Zhou Haimei turned completely grim.
"Ridiculous, my identity, what identity do I have?"
Ever since she was stripped of her right to participate in the law enforcement selection due to her gender, she had voluntarily withdrawn from the Lighthouse's official system.
Many people had advised Zhou Haimei not to be so stubborn, and not to oppose the higher-ups because of this matter.
However, due to special family reasons, Zhou Haimei had the capital to be willful.
