Chapter 67 The Mischievous Kid Isn't Actually Mischievous
"My child! My child is still inside!"
Two armed police officers tried to take the woman out of the town, but she refused to leave and even used a powerful punch in response.
"You can't touch me! I'm a woman! Touching me is sexual harassment!"
After such a commotion, the two armed police officers were both visibly annoyed, but they didn't dare to use too much force to take the middle-aged woman away. They could only try to persuade her, but it was basically useless.
Qin Huanyu understood the situation after listening to a few words – it was the mischievous child who caused trouble again. The woman's child could have escaped from the town, but somehow he ran back into the town.
While mentally cursing the brat, Qin Huanyu smiled and approached the woman, offering kind words of advice.
"Don't worry, sister, we will rescue your child."
As fellow women, and with Qin Huanyu's gentle demeanor, the women visibly relaxed their guard.
Seeing this, Qin Huanyu patted the woman's shoulder as if to comfort her, and then, taking advantage of the woman's inattention, launched a sneak attack, pressing her fingers on a certain part of the back of her neck. A few seconds later, the woman fell into a brief coma due to cerebral ischemia.
"What are you waiting for? Take her out!"
Seeing that the two armed police officers next to her were stunned, Qin Huanyu quickly glared at them and gave the order.
"Oh, yes, sir."
The armed police already knew that the highest commander of tonight's events was a beautiful red-haired policewoman, and immediately carried out the order.
Watching the two armed police officers carry the unconscious woman away, Qin Huanyu sighed softly.
She really didn't want to deal with those bratty kids who were asking for trouble, but it was her duty, and she had already promised the woman, so she could only give it a try.
Qin Huanyu turned and continued walking deeper into the town, recalling the argument she had just overheard. She pieced together useful clues from the woman's fragmented words and deduced where the mischievous child might be.
Redwood Town is not large, with a permanent population of no more than 1, and it only takes less than 20 minutes to walk through the town.
Qin Huanyu turned two corners and casually killed three zombies that had already transformed. Soon she arrived at the place where she had guessed the mischievous child might be.
"Help...help! Someone please save us!"
A faint, tearful cry for help came from the corner of an alley. Qin Huanyu followed the sound and found the person calling for help.
It was a rather pretty little girl and an elderly man with mobility issues.
They were discovered by a zombie, which was approaching them. The little girl was terrified, her face covered in tears, but instead of running away, she bravely stood in front of the old man and shouted for help.
Good boy... Could this be that brat?
She's much more attractive than that older woman from before. Are they really mother and daughter?
Qin Huanyu muttered a question to herself, but didn't think too much about it.
Girls change a lot as they grow up; who knows, this little girl might grow up to be just as unattractive as her biological mother, and she might even be an adopted daughter.
Qin Huanyu, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch the two be attacked by zombies, so she prepared to rush up, kill the zombies, and save the two.
Just then, a can of cola was suddenly thrown from the other direction of the zombie, hitting it squarely on the head and immediately attracting its attention.
Then another child, who looked about the same age as the little girl, ran out, made a face at the zombie, and gave it the middle finger.
"You little zombie! What kind of skill is it to bully Xiaoyan and Grandma Wang who aren't good at sports? Come and catch me if you dare! You little bastard, you little bastard~~"
!
Seemingly unable to bear the mockery, the zombie roared silently, then abandoned its attack on the little girl and old man in the alley and chased after the child who had thrown the cola.
The child looked to be only a little over 10 years old, but he was quite agile. He turned around and climbed up a security window in a few quick movements, just like a monkey.
"Hey kid, don't run away!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Huanyu quickly called out loudly, telling the child not to run around.
What's there to be afraid of in a zombie? A single blow to the head with the Dragon-Slaying Mace will kill it instantly. Afterward, Qin Huanyu can easily escort two children and an old man out of the town.
But the child acted as if he hadn't heard, and quickly ran away, luring the zombie away as well.
"That brat!"
Qin Huanyu stomped her feet in anger, but she couldn't possibly leave the little girl and the old woman there unattended.
She could only stay in the alley and call for the armed police to come and help her.
"Little sister? Uh..."
While waiting, Qin Huanyu wanted to ask the little girl about the situation, but the little girl seemed to have exhausted all her strength from her courage just now and fainted.
Fortunately, although the old woman was not very mobile, she was still very clear-headed and cleared up Qin Huanyu's doubts.
The child who threw the can and taunted the zombies to distract them is the woman's child. That child is the grandmother's granddaughter, the little girl who has fainted, and they are classmates and close friends who have played together since childhood.
Did he abandon his plan to evacuate the town with his mother in order to save his friend, and then sneak back in?
Qin Huanyu quickly made this conjecture.
She was still quite annoyed by that show-off brat, but she didn't hate him as much as she had at the beginning.
Four minutes later, three armed police officers arrived as backup. Qin Huanyu entrusted the little girl and the old woman to the armed police for rescue, while she continued to chase after the boy who had run away.
The brat was quite agile and knew the town's layout very well. He ran off for more than four minutes before Qin Huanyu, even with her Mathematical Eyes activated to track him, found him again more than ten minutes later.
The unruly child is in a very bad situation.
The number of zombies chasing him increased from 1 to nearly 20, including 2 zombies that were probably young when they were alive and whose bodies were very intact. Their movements were noticeably more agile than the other zombies.
These zombies chased the kid into a dead-end alley, which could very well have been deliberately led there by the kid.
Because at the end of the alley is a wall about 3 meters high, it would be difficult for a normal person to climb over, let alone a zombie.
However, not far from the wall are the residents' windows, which are also fitted with burglar bars.
Given the skills the kid had previously demonstrated, he was fully capable of using the security bars on the iron bars to climb over the wall and shake off all the zombies chasing him.
Unfortunately, perhaps the kid was careless and made a mistake, or perhaps he had exhausted himself running around, but in any case, he failed.
He must have fallen while climbing over the iron bars and injuring his leg. He is currently trapped under the wall at the end of the alley and unable to move.
The zombies are getting closer and closer to the child, with the closest ones less than 5 meters away. Even if Qin Huanyu launches a charge immediately, the probability of successfully saving the child will not exceed 21%.
Chapter 68 Sister, I'm just good at math, I don't have superpowers!
Children's resistance is not as good as adults', and this naughty kid had already used up a lot of energy in the escape from the zombies, so his resistance would only be weaker.
In this situation, if he is bitten or caught by a zombie, he will most likely die from the zombie virus before he can be treated and will be transformed into a new zombie.
Qin Huanyu is still some distance away from the zombies, and there are nearly 20 zombies.
Even if she charged forward at full speed and launched a surprise attack, smashing all the zombies' heads off one by one with her Dragon Mace, it would be difficult to end the battle before the brat was attacked by the zombies.
According to the observations and calculations of the Mathematical Eye, this probability will not exceed 21%.
It's best to use a solution with a higher success rate.
After taking about half a second to decide to give up and rush up to save the child, Qin Huanyu stood at the entrance of the alley where the child was surrounded by zombies, holding the Kanglong Mace tightly in her hand, her eyes rapidly scanning the surroundings, looking for a new solution.
Redwood Town doesn't have the high-rise buildings found in cities. Apart from the town's best hotel, which has 10 floors, the rest are mostly 3 to 4-story self-built buildings, and the same is true for the alleyways.
In such small towns, if two neighboring families have a good relationship, or are originally siblings, many people like to build a simple sky bridge on the roof using cement and bricks to facilitate travel.
At this moment, there must be quite a few close friends among the residents on both sides of the alley. When Qin Huanyu looked up, she saw a total of 6 simple overpasses above, one of which was not far above the naughty child.
That should work!
At the very least, the success rate is much higher than rushing in to rescue someone directly, exceeding 67%!
A glint flashed in Qin Huanyu's eyes, and she immediately made a decision.
She raised her left wrist, aimed at the weakest point of the makeshift overpass in front of the child, and launched the steel cable.
The steel nail pierced the not-so-good cement as easily as a chopstick piercing tofu, and after penetrating nearly 10 centimeters, it opened its barbs at the top and secured itself firmly.
hum!
Qin Huanyu gripped the handle of the Kanglong Mace tightly with her four fingers, while her thumb flicked the mace, causing it to vibrate and synchronize with the frequency of the target overpass.
Then, the Kanglong Mace was gently attached to the steel cable, and the vibration frequency was transmitted directly to the bridge body through the steel cable. Under the resonance effect, the maximum amplitude was generated with minimal energy consumption.
Wow!
The cement and bricks used for the overpass were not of very good quality to begin with, and the overpass itself was designed and built by the townspeople themselves. It had little earthquake resistance and structural stability, so it collapsed immediately, turning into bricks and cement blocks that crashed down.
The mischievous child was very clever. Without Qin Huanyu's prompting, he covered his head with his hands and faced the corner of the wall to minimize the harm he might suffer.
The zombies didn't have the ability to react. They were hit in the face with cement and bricks. Although they weren't killed instantly, their plans to attack the child were interrupted. Most of the zombies were even stunned in place for a short time.
"drink!"
Qin Huanyu had already launched her attack the moment the makeshift overpass collapsed. Now, she was wielding the Kanglong Mace and charging into the horde of zombies, each strike capable of shattering the head of a zombie.
Thanks to the collapse of the overpass, Qin Huanyu bought enough time to defeat all the zombies before they could harm the children.
"It's alright, little brother."
Wiping the few fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and confirming that all the zombies had been eliminated, Qin Huanyu reached out her hand to the brat, while giving him a lecture in a somewhat annoyed tone:
“Before you try to be a hero again, you need to know your own limitations first… If it weren’t for me being there this time, you would be dead for sure… You don’t want to hurt your mother, do you? You have no idea how worried she was about you!”
"...If she really loved me as much as you say, she wouldn't force me to study every day. School is so boring."
The mischievous child, however, was stubborn. He didn't try to take Qin Huanyu's hand, but instead struggled to his feet by holding onto the wall, and even made a face at Qin Huanyu.
"And policewoman, you're clearly quite pretty, how can you be such an idiot? Didn't you realize I'm actually a girl? You called me 'little brother'... What an idiot! You're such a noob!"
That kid! Such a brat!
Veins bulged on Qin Huanyu's forehead; she really wanted to beat the brat in front of her up, just like she had smashed the zombie's head before.
But... this brat is actually a girl?
Qin Huanyu was quite surprised, and then carefully examined the mischievous child again.
She had almost a buzz cut, wore a men's T-shirt and casual pants, and trendy but unbranded knock-off sneakers. Her black eyes were mischievous and she looked like a naughty little boy, but at just over 10 years old, she didn't show any male characteristics, and her skin was as delicate as a girl's.
This girl is so pitiful. She's such a tomboy now, she'll definitely grow up to be a tomboy.
Qin Huanyu's anger towards the brat instantly turned into pity. Without saying another word, she ruffled the brat's hair and then checked the injury on his leg.
"Alright, stop being naughty. I'll take you out in a bit... What's your name?"
"My name is Lu Han."
The mischievous child, Lu Han, obediently stretched out his leg to cooperate with Qin Huanyu's examination.
Qin Huanyu glanced at it briefly and then frowned.
Lu Han must have been seriously injured in the fall. His leg was broken, and he had multiple cuts and bruises. It seemed impossible for him to move around anymore.
It's truly amazing that a child in his early teens could be so badly injured, yet manage to hold back his tears and even have the strength to say "little fish" after being rescued.
"Come on, I'll carry you on my back."
Qin Huanyu liked brave and outstanding children like this. It didn't matter if they were a little mischievous or a little devil. She had a little devil hacker living in her dormitory, so she was used to it.
"Woo!"
As Lu Han leaned onto Qin Huanyu's back, she seemed to accidentally bump her injured foot and finally couldn't help but groan in pain.
However, before Qin Huanyu could even offer a few words of comfort, Lu Han excitedly pointed to the remains of the collapsed overpass on the ground and asked with great curiosity:
"Officer, how did you manage to collapse the rooftop bridge so suddenly? Do you have some kind of superpower?"
This kid has already seen zombies with her own eyes, so telling her that there is no such thing as supernatural power in the world is undoubtedly very unconvincing.
Qin Huanyu was about to casually answer yes when a thought struck her.
She suddenly realized that this brat seemed to have expressed a great aversion to studying before.
"It's not a superpower. I don't have any superpowers."
With a mischievous and teasing mindset, Qin Huanyu carried Lu Han on her back and walked towards the edge of town while talking nonsense:
"Sister, I'm just good at math... Kids who don't like studying can never do something like this in their entire lives~~"
Chapter 69: Teammates' Support Arrives
"You can do that just by being good at math? Officer, you're kidding me, aren't you?"
Lu Han clearly didn't believe it, and with her arms around Qin Huanyu's neck, she pouted:
