Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 352

Yuan Shao: ……

He wanted to argue back, but he couldn’t say a single word. At that moment, another fighter plane swept past.

A Zerg suddenly plummeted down toward Sheng Nuan… Yuan Shao was shocked, “Watch out!”

Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Nuan had already moved.

She stepped on a nearby car and leapt high into the air, spinning and flipping backward before delivering a kick to the Zerg’s knee bend… The bones of a Zerg were hard, but their joints were fragile. This was something they had learned in class.

With a crisp crack, that Zerg’s leg was snapped, forcing it to kneel down. Then Sheng Nuan pressed her gun against its scapula and shot off the claw holding its weapon.

In the next instant, Yuan Shao saw Sheng Nuan pointing the gun at the Zerg’s head, shouting, “What is your plan? How many more fighter planes are coming behind you?”

The Zerg, its tentacled mouth buzzing, had the gun pressed against it, then it said, “Cao, cao, cao…”

Sheng Nuan was dumbfounded. It dared to curse her?

Bang! The Zerg’s head was blown off on the spot.

Across from her, Yuan Shao was startled and looked up in confusion, “Why didn’t you wait for it to finish talking?”

Sheng Nuan kicked over the Zerg’s corpse, “Wait for it to keep cursing me?”

Yuan Shao froze, then suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked, “Did you forget to turn on the language converter?”

Converter?

Only then did Sheng Nuan recall something. She paused and pressed a button on the combat communicator… Now she remembered that the Zerg language’s pronunciation sounded like “cao, cao, cao.”

After the two of them ducked back into cover, Sheng Nuan asked Yuan Shao, “What did that Zerg just say?”

Yuan Shao said, “It said that there would be five more waves totaling two hundred fighter planes launching suicide attacks, and also…”

“And also what?”

Yuan Shao replied, “Just and also… then you blew its head off.”

Sheng Nuan fell silent, trying her best to maintain a calm expression, trying not to look embarrassed…

Just then, several more fighter planes roared in. Two were shot down by the mechas in the distance, while the remaining two crashed directly into the shopping mall next door. Instantly, terrified screams echoed from inside the mall.

Who knew how many people were hiding in there?

Sheng Nuan made a decisive call, “Rescue them!”

With that, she crouched low with her gun and charged straight over… Beside the mall, Huo Ling and Chu Yun had already rushed in ahead of her.

Yuan Shao was caught off guard. By the time he reacted, Sheng Nuan had run dozens of meters ahead. His face was somewhat pale as he looked at the Zerg not far away. His legs felt weak, and he wanted nothing more than to keep hiding here.

But seeing that girl, whom he usually considered a good-for-nothing, charge ahead, Yuan Shao realized that if he backed down now, he probably wouldn’t be able to face anyone for the rest of his life.

In the next moment, he gritted his teeth, cursed, and, driven by a desperate, breaking the jar and letting it shatter¹ mindset, rushed out himself…

The moment he dashed out, it somehow didn’t feel so scary anymore. The combat skills he had forgotten in his panic began to resurface in his mind.

How to advance, evade, ambush, and cover…

Moments later, he was about a dozen steps behind Sheng Nuan as they rushed into the mall.

Most of the people inside were gathered on the first and second floors. When Sheng Nuan entered, Huo Ling and Chu Yun were already exchanging fire with the Zerg… Chu Yun was injured; one leg was dragging on the ground, covered in bl00d, yet he still sat there, firing his gun.

Dozens, maybe hundreds, of civilians were huddled in the corners, clutching their heads. Opposite them, the Zerg were rapidly closing in. Yuan Shao raised his hand and tossed a grenade, but as soon as it hit the ground, the Zerg kicked it back. Sheng Nuan cursed under her breath and shoved him aside.

Yuan Shao had finally tried to show some skill, but he almost dug himself into a hole. Feeling bitter and not daring to speak, he watched as Sheng Nuan pulled out another grenade.

This time, though, after pulling the pin, Sheng Nuan didn’t throw it immediately. She waited for two breaths. Yuan Shao froze, terrified that they might end up blown up by their own side.

In the next instant, Sheng Nuan hurled the grenade. The Zerg on the opposite side tried to kick it back again, but before they could reach out, there was a boom, and four or five Zerg were blasted into pieces.

Huo Ling turned his head and was taken aback when he saw Sheng Nuan.

He didn’t expect that idiot to have such guts…

Sheng Nuan and Yuan Shao quickly moved closer to regroup with Huo Ling. She spoke up, “There are still several waves of Zerg attacks coming. There’s an underground shelter in the mall. We need to escort them there.”

Huo Ling grunted in acknowledgment, retreating while helping Chu Yun.

Sheng Nuan pushed Yuan Shao, “Go carry him.”

Yuan Shao didn’t hesitate for a second and stepped forward to carry Chu Yun. Only after picking him up did he suddenly think: why was he listening to Sheng Nuan?

Yet he did as told…

Sheng Nuan turned back and shouted, “We can’t hold here for long. People on the second floor, hurry down and get into the underground shelter!”

There was an emergency elevator in the first-floor lobby leading to the underground shelter, so there was no need to worry about power outages.

Hearing her voice, people on the second floor cried as they rushed downstairs, and chaos broke out on the staircase… Sheng Nuan fired a shot into the air, “Elders and children first! Anyone who pushes and shoves, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Yuan Shao watched from the side, stunned…

A few men who had been desperately pushing forward shrank back sheepishly.

At that moment, several more Zerg fighter planes roared by. Sheng Nuan and Huo Ling fired from left and right to hold them back. She shouted to Yuan Shao, “Take Chu Yun and those people into the shelter!”

Yuan Shao gave her a complicated look, then looked at Chu Yun, whose body was half soaked in bl00d, and carried him into the elevator.

The emergency elevator, which could hold more than thirty people, went up and down a few times, transporting the stranded civilians to the underground bunker. Sheng Nuan knew she couldn’t leave the elevator controls intact, or if the Zerg got in, those people would be like turtles trapped in a jar.

While continuously firing to keep the Zerg outside from getting too close, she kept an eye on the elevator, ready to destroy the controls at any moment… Just then, another group of Zerg appeared outside, surrounding the mall.

Finally, the last batch of people entered the elevator.

But at that moment, the sound of a child crying rang out… At the entrance of the mall, a little kid climbed out of a trash bin, wailing loudly.

Sheng Nuan froze.

Someone in the elevator shouted, “Close the door, hurry, the Zerg are coming!”

Someone else shouted, “There’s still a child out there!”

Just as Sheng Nuan was about to move, she saw that Huo Ling, who was closer, rolled over on the ground and scooped up the child, shielding them in his arms as he quickly ducked away.

The Zerg noticed him, and gunfire erupted, shattering what remained of the mall’s glass doors into fragments.

Huo Ling stumbled and fell to the ground. The moment he fell, he threw the child toward the elevator.

The child landed at the elevator entrance, wailing. Someone rushed out from inside, grabbed the child, and darted back in… Someone shouted at Sheng Nuan and Huo Ling, “Hurry up and get in!”

By now, the Zerg were charging in from behind…

There wasn’t enough time. Sheng Nuan could rush into the elevator, but Huo Ling had been shot and injured, and he definitely wouldn’t make it in time.

If this had been five minutes earlier, Sheng Nuan would have chosen to save herself… But just now, he risked his life to save a child, and for that alone, she couldn’t leave him behind.

Sheng Nuan raised her gun and shot out the emergency elevator’s control panel. The elevator doors slammed shut. She ran over, dragged Huo Ling up, turned around, and rushed into the adjacent emergency stairwell, heading upstairs…
