    Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The situation is reversed Woof woof woof woof woof…

    Si Jiu nodded slightly to Ran Lie beside him. Ran Lie, who could no longer hold himself back, twitched his ears slightly and his figure was like the wind.

    Instead of rushing towards the gun-wielding lizard orc at the door, he attacked at a faster speed and at an incredible angle, grabbing his target – Takesumi at the door before he could dodge!

    In the moment before the laser gun flashed, Si Jiu swooped forward in time to pull Cai Haoze, who looked shocked, and hid behind a chair on the side.

    The laser gun then left a mark of burning corrosion on the floor.

    Here, Ran Lie shot quickly and accurately.

    The lizard orcs around him had no time to react. Zhu Yu’s slender fox eyes suddenly widened in shock at Ran Lie’s sudden appearance. He instinctively retreated backwards, his fingers subconsciously touching the weapon at his waist.But Ran Lie’s speed exceeded the limit of his reaction. A hand covered with thin calluses and with amazing strength accurately grasped his slender and fragile throat, and the force was controlled just right.

    It made him instantly suffocated and lost his voice, but it didn’t immediately cause irreversible damage.At the same time, Ran Lie’s other arm swept across, passed through Zhu Yu’s armpit, locked his shoulder joint, and pulled his whole body back violently, and they stepped back into the room.

    “Uh…” Zhu Yu was forced to raise his head. The pressure in his throat prevented him from pronouncing complete syllables, and all movements were instantly restricted.The kitsune’s fluffy tail suddenly exploded in fright and anger, and its pointed ears stretched straight back.

    Ran Lie used Zhu Yu’s body as a shield, completely blocking Zhu Yu between himself and a group of gun-wielding lizard orcs.The aiming point of the laser gun flashed on Zhu Yu’s chest. The cold vertical pupils of the lizard orcs stared at the kidnapped Zhu Yu, but they did not dare to move rashly.

    From Takesumi’s order to kill to when he himself became the most effective hostage, in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed again.

    Ran Lie tilted his head slightly, his voice was very low, but with a cold and evil aura, he said to Zhu Yu who was being held hostage:

    “Now, make them stand down.”

    Si Jiu just wanted to take a look at Cai Haoze’s condition, but when he saw a confused look on his face, he suddenly jumped up from the ground. Regardless of the injury on his feet, he rushed over with all his strength and slapped Zhuyu in the face, who was being held hostage by Ran Lie. There was blood on the corner of Zhuyu’s mouth immediately.Then, Cai Haoze, who was filled with hatred, went to find a gun. It seemed that he would not stop until he was beaten into a hornet’s nest——

    After all, Luo Hao could see the situation more clearly than him. He stepped forward and struck Cai Haoze on the neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious.

    The five or six newly reborn humans who had fallen on the ground also struggled to get up and stood behind Ran Lie, Si Jiu and Luo Hao.

    “Ahem… You, you – do you think you can escape like this?” Half of Zhu Yu’s face was swollen when Ran Lie clamped his throat. He was no longer as delicate as he was at the beginning, but he swallowed a mouthful of blood and sneered.

    “Go, they don’t dare… ahem, they don’t dare to really do it – kill me, go to the basement, let that big guy out, let it out! Now, go!” Zhu Yu shouted loudly to the lizard orcs at the door.

    Ran Lie then punched him in the stomach, and the fox orc bared his teeth in pain.

    Several lizard orcs were immediately ordered to run away, while the remaining lizard orcs were still confronting Si Jiu with their guns raised.

    Luo Hao’s expression changed immediately, and Si Jiu looked at him: “Big guy – you mean Wei Jie… the leader?” Luo Hao’s brows furrowed even more, obviously acquiescing.

    Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a terrifying beast-like roar coming from downstairs, and the entire room on the second floor shook.

    “Now, let me go – leave you all intact!” Zhu Yu smiled proudly and shouted mockingly – making Si Jiu want to punch him again on the other side of his face that was not swollen.

    Luo Hao couldn’t help but said: “You gave him more potion?! You bastard!”

    “Don’t talk too much about yourself, you are so noble. When you gave him the acupuncture – was it too little?! I didn’t see you ever being soft-hearted towards the former leader! Hypocritical human being!” Zhu Yu glanced at Luo Hao from the corner of his eye. Ran Lie’s strength made him breathless and his speech was choppy, but he still rolled his eyes at Luo Hao.

    Si Jiu sighed softly. He had seen Luo Hao insert a tube of injection into the body of Wei Jie who turned into a beast on the second floor of the grocery store, thus aggravating his mania.

    At this time, the roars of the beasts downstairs became more and more powerful, and all the humans in the room on the second floor couldn’t help but panic. Even the lizard beasts at the door stood uneasily and stamped their feet. Luo Hao resisted the unconscious Cai Haoze, and his expression became even more ugly – only Zhu Yu, who was held hostage, smiled arrogantly.

    Si Jiu raised his eyes calmly and met the eyes of Ran Lie in front of him, who nodded to him.

    At this moment, a lizard orc ran up to the second floor in a panic. He shouted to the lizard orcs at the door: “The orc soldiers are coming, many, many orc soldiers, they are pouring in from the underground passage and the gate – the soldiers have controlled the big guy in the basement, and the first floor is now full of orc soldiers with guns – they are coming to the second floor soon!”

    “Huh?” “Huh?” Several lizards at the door lowered their gun-holding hands and looked at each other in confusion.

    The fox beastman Takesumi in the room looked incredibly frightened.

    “What?! What kind of orc soldier?!” Zhu Yu’s slender eyes suddenly widened to their maximum size.

    “It looks like… a soldier from the orc army – Master, what should I do?” The panicked lizard orc looked at Zhu Yu in the room.

    Ran Lie still held him firmly, forcing him to be obedient.

    Soon, the roar of the beast downstairs stopped after several loud sounds. There seemed to be the sound of fighting, and then the sound of continuous running.

    “Impossible. The military department has been angry for a long time. They have no action plans today…” Zhu Yu just finished speaking——

    With a “swish” sound, several lizards guarding the door were hit by a launch net. A large net opened instantly, packing and binding several lizard orcs together with the guns in their hands, and then rolled to the side.

    “Boss – I’m here with my brothers!” A hearty and familiar voice came from the direction of the door. The tall sheep-horned orc Yang Xiaozheng appeared in front of the door. In his hand was a lizard orc who was wearing a hoodie but had lost his combat power – Si Jiu recognized it at a glance. It was the former grocery store owner!

    Following Yang Xiaozheng were several more well-armed orc soldiers with weapons. After Yang Xiaozheng and Ran Lie said hello, they immediately grinned at Si Jiu: “Sister-in-law – I mean Si Jiu, you are so awesome, how could you guess that they have underground passages?! There may be crazy monsters in the basement, you were right!”

    When the fox orc Zhu Yu in the room heard these words, he instantly collapsed like a deflated rubber ball, completely losing the arrogance he had just now.

    He kept saying: “Impossible, how is it possible? He clearly told me that there was no movement from the military department -”

    Yang Xiaozheng snorted coldly and said sarcastically: “Don’t worry, you will see You Zhi in prison.”

    Takesumi completely sat down on the ground, his once delicate tail now covered with dust.

    Leopard-eared orc You Zhi?Is he a traitor within the military?Si Jiu couldn’t help being slightly surprised. This time the plan was arranged by the military department, but Si Jiu knew that Ran Lie asked Wu En to keep this plan a secret from You Zhi.

    Ran Lie lowered his eyes and threw the limp fox orc Yu Zhu into the care of the orc soldiers behind Yang Xiaozheng. He could see that You Zhi was a traitor to the military, which made him feel very bad.

    Si Jiu walked over and stroked his back. Ran Lie turned his head. The first general, who had just been like a god of death, looked at his beloved with particularly gentle eyes.

    Si Jiu gave him a relieved smile. He knew that no matter how Ran Lie and him bickered and quarreled in front of You Zhi, Ran Lie still regarded him as a comrade-in-arms and companion.

    If possible, Si Jiu and Ran Lie would not want him to be the traitor…

    Then, Ran Lie raised his hand again, and the orc soldiers who came from behind swarmed up and took down Luo Hao, the unconscious Cai Haoze, and all the injured humans in the room.

    The others could not resist, but Luo Hao had a cold look on his head. He glanced at Si Jiu and said to the orc soldiers behind him: “I will leave on my own.”

    Seeing Luo Hao and several newly reborn humans being taken away one after another, Wei Jie, who turned into a beast downstairs, was also controlled by the military soldiers. None of the lizard orcs under Zhu Yu could match regular soldiers. Si Jiu just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly remembered something and turned to Yang Xiaozheng eagerly and asked: “Jun Qi, by the way, there is Jun Qi – did you see a Persian cat orc downstairs?”

    “Ah, you said those young orcs who fainted on the sofa on the first floor seem to have a feline. They have been taken to the nearest hospital by the ambulance.” Yang Xiaozheng replied.

    Si Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to go to the hospital later to check on Jun Qi’s condition.

    “Where’s my favor?” Ran Lie asked Yang Xiaozheng.

    “In the basement, he is checking the manic alienated beast.” Yang Xiaozheng replied.

    “How about him, I mean the beast?” Si Jiu couldn’t help but ask. He thought of Wei Jie, who always wore a turban, and how he was healed by his gentle smile back then.

    Yang Xiaozheng shook his head: “When I came up, the beast was not in good condition – after all, it took a lot of guns and ammunition to subdue it, and it seemed like it couldn’t feel any pain at all!”

    Si Jiu lowered his eyes. After a while, he looked at Ran Lie and said, “I want to take a look in the basement.”

    Ran Lie’s black and golden eyes were always soft for a moment when he looked at Si Jiu, and he said: “I will accompany you.”

    Sure enough, as Yang Xiaozheng said, the giant beast in the basement with only one green eye was shot several times. It was lying on the ground, its limbs were firmly nailed by four black iron pillars, and it was motionless.

    Wu En, who was carrying a medical kit and wearing a mask, jumped down from the beast. He said to Si Jiu and Ran Lie: “You are a step too late – you are already out of breath.”

    Si Jiu felt his nose suddenly felt a little sore – if possible, he really wanted to try his healing ability.

    Even if it only has a little effect!

    However, his ability can only heal living creatures, not bring them back to life.

    Si Jiu thought of the middle-aged man with a gentle smile. He said to himself, “Si Jiu, you have to learn to forget the pain, relax and be gentle, so that life can continue – if you can, be more humorous, even if you don’t survive tomorrow, you hope to die with a smile”… But when Wei Jie died, it was such a tragic scene.

    Perhaps the air in the basement was not smooth, or the dead Wei Jie produced a peculiar smell. Ran Lie, who had a keen sense of smell, sneezed several times in a row, which made Si Jiu come out of his thoughts and worry about the more important orcs around him.

    Wu En, who was wearing a mask, frowned and said: “The soldiers found boxes of suspicious inhibitory agents in the basement, as well as a large number of Bi Core Crystals hidden underground. They will conduct a detailed inspection later – although they have carefully stored them, there is some energy reaction of Bi Core Crystals in this basement. You’d better go up first.”

    Si Jiu glanced at Wei Jie who had passed away again, and went up the stairs with Ran Lie.

    As soon as they arrived on the first floor, Si Jiu was about to ask Ran Lie if he felt better, but saw him sniffing slightly, raising his ears, and whispered: “There was a hint of a wolf cub in the basement just now.”
