Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Anran is unaware of this yet.

But she also knew things were going to be difficult.

There are 6 Morning Star rebels left in this round.

There are four more rounds to go.

The guard was reduced in number during the second round, and could only last until the fourth round at most.

"boom--"

Morning Star began dropping grenades, and the guards held nothing back. With concentrated firepower and the occasional grenade explosions, the six men on the other side couldn't hold out for long before being wiped out. However, the guards also lost two more men, leaving only eight healthy men.

"Your face..."

He led the charge, looking at An Ran as he spoke.

"Is there a problem?" An Ran asked, puzzled.

“There’s blood,” Zhou Jieyu said.

Blood?

An Ran reached out and wiped her cheek.

She suddenly felt a burning pain.

When I put my hand up to my eyes, I could see that my fingers were covered in blood.

It got grazed by a bullet.

Health: 186/200

Stamina: 134/168

The data-driven physical attributes amplified An Ran's sense of urgency.

I don't know if I have enough energy to last until dawn.

“Let’s gather up the bodies of our brothers; we can’t leave them exposed like this.”

The captain of the guard gave the order.

The rest of the people were to go up and collect the body.

An Ran immediately said, "Time is of the essence. The enemy's next attack is coming soon. What we need to do now is to set up defenses as quickly as possible. We can't waste time on this."

The one leading the charge added, "That's right, the Morning Star Rebels have four more waves of attacks to go."

The captain of the guard suddenly raised an eyebrow: "How did you know that?"

"It's from above," the leader of the charge replied.

The captain of the guard sneered, "What intelligence organization is so powerful that it can accurately predict the number of attack rounds required for this kind of operation that requires improvisation? To be honest, I've been suspicious of your identities from the very beginning."

An Ran remained silent.

"Although your identification documents seem to be fine, the whole thing is just too suspicious."

He continued his analysis, "You might not be from Morning Star, but you're definitely not from the Security Department either. The Security Department intercepted Morning Star's information; even if they were to send a special operations team, well… heh heh."

The captain of the guard smiled.

His gaze swept over Zhou Jieyu and the leader of the charge.

The message conveyed in their eyes goes without saying.

The gist is: how could they possibly send out such a bunch of misfits!

“(▼ヘ▼＃)” Zhou Jieyu immediately glared back defiantly, but was completely ignored by the captain of the guard.

He, who was leading the charge, fell into deep thought.

“Apart from you, the other two don’t look like they’re from the security department at all,” the guard captain said. “Tell me, who exactly are you people?”

As he spoke, the group of hands had already quietly moved closer.

An Ran narrowed her eyes slightly.

The wound on her cheek was stimulating her nerves, keeping her constantly alert.

This task is really quite interesting.

With Morning Star in front and a bunch of incompetent teammates dragging her down, it's clear that she has to rely on herself to complete this task.

Those simple methods didn't work.

For the sake of experience and points, all of this virtual data can be indiscriminately sent to the crematorium.

In the end, all that matters is ensuring that retired officials don't die.

"Before that, I must remind you that Morningstar's third attack has begun."

Anran calmly recounted a fact to the captain of the guard.

The captain of the guard smiled and shook his head, indicating his disbelief.

"You only have one life, don't wait until you're about to die to regret it," An Ran continued.

Here, she is also a "player," and mere "NPCs" cannot sway her in the slightest.

An Ran's firm words made the captain of the guard team fall into deep thought.

Then he raised his head: "I'll trust you this once and leave."

The second half of the sentence was spoken to his men.

So a large group of people quickly retreated, leaving Anran and the others standing in the middle of the crowd, under guard.

This neighborhood was completely destroyed; there was hardly any cover left, and it was no longer safe to stay there.

An Ran then discovered a small detail: the device's computing power was clearly limited, and apart from the main characters, there were no other residents in the town.

Nevertheless, Jiuge's device is also very impressive. Surely No. 1886's technology couldn't have created something like this?

Make a note of this.

Anran has a very good memory and can remember a lot of things.

She wasn't particularly intelligent; she just had a better memory, was calmer, and preferred recording and analyzing.

The guards did not take An Ran and the others to see the retired official, but their final destination was still the retired official's residence.

It was a large mansion next to the green park.

There is a courtyard, a large house, and small houses for the guards to live in.

Anran and the others were taken to a small house suitable for detention.

"Regardless, I still don't trust you. Please stay here for now. If you are innocent, I will release you once your identities are verified."

The captain of the guard then said to his men, "Remove their weapons."

An Ran was helpless; she had no choice but to put away her weapons.

“We could have worked together very well.” An Ran scratched her flaxen bangs that were swaying in front of her forehead and took two steps to the side.

His slightly blue pupils were also full of helplessness.

"What do you mean?" the guard captain asked.

"I have to complete the mission, so I can only ask you to die." An Ran suddenly pulled out a fragmentation grenade and threw it.

"Quickly open!"

The captain of the guard's face changed drastically in horror.

An Ran had already darted into a door next to the small house.

Zhou Jieyu was also brought along.

Chapter 30 Let's kidnap him!

The loud explosion outside the door made An Ran quickly cover her ears, but even so, she still felt a ringing in her ears because she was so close.

Zhou Jieyu, whom she casually brought in, fared even worse. She staggered in and fell to the ground. After being hit by the roar, she curled up into a ball.

An Ran originally wanted to bring in the leader who would lead the charge, because leading the charge was more reliable than leading the retreat.

Unfortunately, the person leading the charge was positioned quite far away, so in desperation, An Ran could only manage to pull Zhou Jieyu in as well.

One of the two "mobile ammunition depots" must be retained.

They can even be used as meat shields in critical moments.

Zhou Jieyu groaned and made a move to get up. The fall had left her sore all over and weak.

An Ran didn't even bother to pull her up; she took out a flashbang and threw it out the door.

This time, she quickly stuffed something into her ears, then bent down and placed both hands on Zhou Jieyu's ears.

Flashbangs not only emit a bright light, but the sound produced when they explode can also instantly incapacitate enemies.

Zhou Jieyu was stunned by An Ran's action of covering her ears.

She slightly raised her head and stared blankly at An Ran.

The distance between the two of them was less than 20 centimeters.

Zhou Jieyu felt as if she could feel the burning heat of An Ran's breathing.

That profile view looks even more delicate and adorable up close.

The nose is slightly wrinkled.

His gaze was fixed on the doorway.

A cold light flowed in his pupils.

boom--

Just then, a sharp sound reached Zhou Jieyu's ears through An Ran's palm.

Her body trembled instantly.

They curled up.
