Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

After finding Misha, the Reunion Movement began their retreat, but left a group behind to cover their retreat. They couldn't just let them continue causing trouble, as it wouldn't be safe to pursue them outside the city and risk being cut off from their rear.

"What about the other units of the Guard Bureau? If we send more people, clearing out the remaining enemies in the abandoned city shouldn't be difficult, right?" Qin Duanyu looked at the battle map, which clearly marked the enemy and friendly forces' positions.

With the current number of troops deployed by the Guard Bureau, it is indeed impossible to quickly eliminate these people. However, based on Swire's previous weapons order, Qin Duanyu roughly estimated that Lungmen's apparent strength was definitely more than that.

"There have been quite a few attacks in the inner city of Lungmen just now, similar to the situation in Hiram. These are all criminals who infiltrated Lungmen beforehand. In addition to the entire Swire Major Crimes Unit being mobilized, a large number of police officers have also been dispatched to the inner city to maintain order," Chen sighed helplessly.

With the forces dispersed, the elite special inspectorate led by Hoshiguma was the last batch of reinforcements.

“I understand, rich people who are afraid of dying.” Qin Duanyu understood Chen’s feelings. After the Hiram incident, the Guard Bureau had caught a lot of internationally wanted criminals. The ones that were missed were just small fry, which made a lot of noise but did not actually cause much damage.

However, even the usually safe inner city was attacked. Although it was just minor skirmishes, the high-ranking officials put pressure on Wei Yanwu. As a result, a large number of Imperial Guards officers went out to patrol the streets, just to make these old men feel at ease.

"Alright, since there are no objections, follow me..." Chen was about to lead Machidir and the others to the front line when he suddenly felt dizzy.

Damn it, why did it have to flare up now? Right, today is the day to take the medicine... But the fight just now was too intense, I didn't have time... She clutched her shoulder tightly, where there was a hard, foreign object.

“Officer Chen, you don’t look well. I’ll go call the medical services…” Amiya noticed Chen’s unusual appearance first and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I'm just too tired, I'll be fine after a rest." Chen refused her without even thinking, but his forced composure made it hard for anyone to feel at ease.

Ferdinand and Machider knew her temper well. If they went up to help now, Chen would not only not appreciate it, but might also be scolded. Amiya and the others also couldn't rashly interfere.

At this moment, an arm wrapped around Chen from behind. She hurriedly tried to break free, while also uttering a few vulgar curses.

"Don't move, or I'll switch to a princess carry. Do you want to be the second person to receive this treatment?" Qin Duanyu said threateningly, then shouted into the communicator, "Inspector Chen is too tired. I'll take command of the rest of the battle. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

"While it's certainly inappropriate to be ordered around by outsiders, the Doctor... is practically one of us, so I agree!"

"Of course I believe in the doctor's abilities. Please lead us to beat those Reunion Movement bastards to a pulp!"

"No problem, I wholeheartedly agree!"

Most of the Guards officers currently stationed in the abandoned city had fought alongside Rhodes Island and were well aware of Qin Duanyu's abilities. Coupled with the recent uproar over the news, they all responded with a joking laugh.

Whether it was the threat of being carried in a princess carry that worked, or because he completely trusted Qin Duanyu, Chen Zhen gave up struggling and leaned all his weight on Qin Duanyu as they rode together in Rhodes Island's vehicle to the front lines.

Listening to Qin Duanyu's methodical instructions, President Chen finally relaxed, revealing a rare look of fatigue and vulnerability, preparing to take a short nap.

In a daze, a question came to her mind: Who was the first person this guy ever carried in a princess carry?

Besides curiosity, she also felt a little jealous, and even regretted not twisting it a couple of times earlier.

Ugh, what am I thinking? It must be Oripathy affecting my brain!

My writing assistant is broken and needs to rest for a day. Today I might post two short episodes, or even three.

Chapter 89, Section 95: The Siblings Meet and the Victim Appears

Outside the abandoned city of Lungmen, at a temporary camp of the Reunification Movement.

Misha, who had been knocked unconscious and taken away before she had even finished her meal, slowly woke up to find herself lying on a dilapidated bed. The room was drafty with no doors or windows, and several Reunion Movement members were guarding it from the outside.

"You're awake? I'm sorry, this is the only place I could find to settle you down." Just as Misha was looking around, trying to find an escape route, a gentle voice reached her ears.

She turned around and saw a masked warlock leader.

“I’ve heard Shatterbone mention you many times, and I’m so glad to finally meet you today. You are indeed a lovely young lady.” The warlock leader removed his mask, revealing a slightly weathered middle-aged face. “Shatterbone is tending to the wounded and will be able to come see you later.”

I feel like I've seen this person before, in a previous dream... Whether it was the sudden sight of a "familiar" face or the kind smile on the other person's face, Misha's expression softened slightly, but she remained quite vigilant.

Even though she wasn't harmed, her impression of the organization wasn't good, especially after seeing them prey on innocent civilians who were also infected; she had no illusions left.

Perhaps these people spared my life only because of my father?

"Why did you choose to join the Reunion Movement?" Misha asked in a low voice, looking at the black crystals on the middle-aged man's cheek.

"Why? My wife and children died in Chernobog! Those bastards treated the Infected worse than animals. I watched them fall right before my eyes, and from that moment on, I decided that I must take revenge and make those Ursus swine pay for their suffering!"

The middle-aged man's face gradually twisted and contorted, and he practically squeezed out these words from his throat, his resentment so palpable that Misha shrank back into the corner in fright.

After venting his emotions, he realized his loss of composure and could only respond with an apologetic smile.

"Paul, come and lend a hand." A voice from outside eased the tense atmosphere. The speaker was wearing a gas mask and looked like a big shot in the Reunion Movement. Misha quietly compared herself to him and found that this "big shot" was almost as tall as her.

After dismissing the warlock leader, the man went straight to Misha and reached out to remove her mask.

With delicate and lovely faces, short silver hair, and two round ears on their heads, the two stood face to face, as if looking in a mirror. The only difference they could make was their eyes.

"Ah..." Misha covered her mouth in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

"No, I've already abandoned that name, don't call me that anymore!" Shattered Bones shook his head slightly, speaking with a hint of resentment.

Looking at the face that was so similar to her own, Misha slowly walked towards him. She wanted to call his name, but because of her previous instructions, she could only whisper, "Brother, you really are my brother!"

The face of Broken Bones, which was originally full of relief and joy, froze slightly. After all, he had just been cursed with the same words. Even if Misha was telling the truth, he would still feel a little disgusted.

"Sis, has anyone ever told you that you're really good at ruining the mood? From now on, just call me Broken Bones."

The answer to the broken bones was a warm embrace.

……

Although the two siblings had a disagreement during their reunion due to their differing views, and neither could convince the other for a while, the warmth and emotion of seeing long-separated relatives together ultimately overshadowed these unpleasant feelings.

Broken Bones thought that Misha was just too kind, and since she hadn't been infected for long, she couldn't see the cruel reality facing the infected. Once she returned to Chernobog, she would definitely be moved by everyone's kindness.

“Bonebreaker, the Royal Guard has intensified their attack. We need to move out immediately.” Paul, the warlock team leader, carried a wounded soldier over, muttering under his breath, “Damn it, why isn’t Mephisto involved? If he were here…”

"Let's go. Lady Talulah must have her reasons for making this arrangement. All we have to do is carry out the orders, no matter the cost!" Shattered Bones took the wounded soldier from him and said firmly.

“W just sent a message saying that she has found a suitable ambush point and has begun to make arrangements. The support troops are also arriving soon.” Paul nodded, no longer dwelling on the issue, and took out a map to continue.

Even though Chernobog is slowly making its way towards Lungmen, the distance between the two is still very far. Even with vehicles, it will take a long time for the massive Reunion force to return.

To avoid being followed and hunted down by the Lungmen Guard, it is necessary to launch a counterattack, preferably to rout the pursuing forces in one fell swoop. This will greatly increase the safety of returning to Chernobog.

"An abandoned mine? That's certainly a nice place. No wonder it's W." Even though his thoughts are easily swayed by emotions, Shattered Bones still possesses basic judgment in his normal state.

He could tell at a glance that this was a place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Weeds, ruins, sand dunes... all were places worth ambushing. And since Misha was in his hands, the enemy would have to hold their noses and jump into the trap even if they knew it was a trap.

That damned doctor will definitely join the pursuit, right? Hmph, I admit I fell into your trap before, but now the roles are reversed. There are no buildings in the desert that can stop me from doing my job!

"By the way, who is supporting us this time? Miss Froststar? It can't be Mr. Patriot, can it?" After imagining the satisfying scene of killing Qin Duanyu, Broken Bone asked with some curiosity.

Mephisto and Faust had other missions and did not participate in this operation. W had already joined the battle with the Sarkaz mercenaries and helped find Misha. After thinking about it, the only ones left in the Reunion Movement are Frostnova and Patriot.

Both the Yeti Force and the guerrilla force under the old man are the true elite of the Reunion Movement. These two are also formidable strongmen. If they were to personally lead the team, not only would they be able to defeat the pursuers, but they could also turn the tide and kill their way back.

"No, it's the regicide!" Paul reminded him somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh, her leg is completely healed?" Shattered Bones suddenly realized that there was such a person in the organization. Mainly, she had been recuperating from her injuries recently and hadn't stood behind Talulah for a long time.

“If she hadn’t fallen out with Mephisto and posted his photos all over the city, she would have recovered long ago.” Paul sighed and said helplessly, “After hearing that we were going to fight Rhodes Island, she volunteered to go.”

"Well, something is better than nothing. This kind of complex battlefield is quite suitable for her infiltrator units to perform well." Broken Bones was clearly a little disappointed and responded casually.

I'll take a break today, and later I'll catch up on a little Texas-themed skit. Tomorrow, I'll get the writing girl back to work.

Chapter 90, Section 97: I Set Up Your Ambush

Leaving the urban area of ​​Longmen, what comes into view is a vast, yellowish-brown wilderness, with jagged rocks and swirling dust. The few green plants do not add vitality to this land; instead, they accentuate its desolation.

"Ugh..." Chen slowly opened his eyes amidst a series of uncomfortable jolting.

While everyone was busy fighting, she secretly took the suppressant. She originally planned to assist Qin Duanyu in commanding the battle, but she fell asleep and didn't know how the battle was going.

"You're awake?" The familiar voice so close to her made Chen sit up abruptly. Just then, the off-road jeep ran over a large rock, and she was thrown into the air.

puff!

The dragon's horn broke through the sunshade, poking out two small holes.

"Be a little more careful, Officer Chen. What if you pass out again?" Qin Duanyu brushed the dust off her head, secretly marveling at how good her touch was.

"How are things now? Are we... already in the suburbs?" Chen quickly returned to work mode. She checked the time, then looked out the window at the scenery that was so different from the city, and asked in confusion.

Even though they had unwavering faith in Qin Duanyu's command abilities, she had only slept for less than an hour. In such a short time, it was absolutely insufficient to resolve the exhausting and time-consuming street battle.

"Yes, Doctor has led everyone to clear out the Reunion Movement in the abandoned city. We are currently tracking down the fleeing enemies; they have taken refuge in an abandoned mine." Hoshiguma's voice came from the driver's seat.

"You've finally arrived. What's the situation with the special inspection team?" Chen straightened his disheveled clothes and asked with some concern.

"We were delayed by that Sarkaz on the way, but only a few people were lightly injured and it didn't affect the battle. Besides, she seemed a bit distracted. After confirming that our vehicle was damaged, she left immediately," Hoshiguma said without turning her head.

Traveling on two legs was indeed a bit slow, but W was not a local and had no idea about the intricate streets of Lungmen. Since even Superintendent Chen and Swire had to patrol the area, Hoshiguma and the others were no exception.

They weren't exactly familiar with every neighborhood like their own backyard, but they knew exactly where to take shortcuts and back paths, which saved them a lot of time, allowing them to arrive at the battlefield much earlier than W had anticipated.

With the addition of elite special inspectors to the battle, the efficiency of the cleanup operation improved dramatically. The only downside was that Hoshiguma's forces were the last available force in the pursuit.

"Alright, tell the guy leading the way to park here," Qin Duanyu said to Hoshiguma, pointing to a small hill.

"Why? Didn't the reconnaissance team say that this area had been cleared out?" Chen looked at the map. They were still quite a distance from the mine. If they were afraid of being discovered by the enemy, they could have moved closer before walking.

"Of course we'll ambush them! It would be a shame not to use such a great place for an ambush." ​​Qin Duanyu led her up the hill. The only way to the abandoned mine was through hills and ravines, making the terrain extremely complex.

"You want to take out their ambush force here?" Chen immediately realized that if they really launched a frontal assault on the mine, the enemy would have the advantage of terrain, and even if they won, they would pay a heavy price.

If we can take out some of the enemies beforehand, the battle to break into the mine will be much easier.

“Yes, even if the commander on the other side is that hothead Shatterbond, he would never miss such a suitable ambush location. Why don’t we take their pits first, so they have no pits to camp in?” Qin Duanyu nodded, signaling the operators to immediately find suitable positions.

As expected of you, you're so shameless! Chen glanced at Qin Duanyu, but noticed that his walking posture was a bit strange, as if one of his legs was numb.

I was sleeping on his lap the whole time?

Chen's face flushed red instantly.

"It's okay. I quite like the scent of your perfume. It's a forest-themed style from the East, right?"

"Shut up, or I'll report you for sexually harassing a police officer!"

……

About half an hour later, a large number of Reunion Movement members arrived here.

These people were considered the elite under Shattered Bones. After orderly evacuating from the ruined city, they rested and replenished their supplies in the mine before joining up with the Kingslayer troops who had come to their aid, preparing to take advantage of the situation to pull off a big heist against Lungmen.

"Captain, the brothers who stayed here to keep watch are dead!" A soldier with a sword and shield ran over to his captain from the vanguard and said.
