"Although there are more Corpses in the hall, there is also more space to evade. If we encounter a Horde in the narrow corridor and run out of bullets, or if we can't eliminate them quickly enough to keep up with their advance, there will be no chance of survival."
"Let this wave of Corpses pass first; don't make any noise."
"It's up to you few now. Try not to shoot; the density of Corpses nearby has already become quite high."
"We can bypass these few; don't disturb them, as it might attract others."
As they moved along, Yang Xiaoyou, despite being in a semi-exhausted state, skillfully guided the group through the airport, relying solely on his knowledge of the Corpses, as if walking a tightrope.
Liu Lianyue's three subordinates were stronger than ordinary people in combat, and with the two bodyguards responsible for George Osborne's safety, they managed to navigate through without major incidents.
Throughout this journey, the attitudes of those around them, including George Osborne, had changed significantly towards Yang Xiaoyou. Perhaps George couldn't comprehend the combat techniques Yang Xiaoyou had displayed against Huang Jing, but he could certainly recognize Yang Xiaoyou's terrifying predictive abilities that seemed almost prophetic.
He knew exactly where they needed to work together to solve problems, where they could bypass threats, and where to create minor disturbances to lure some Corpses away for elimination. He was fully aware of how much noise needed to be made.
George reflected that if it weren't for Yang Xiaoyou's guidance along the way, relying solely on his two bodyguards would have left him with no choice but to find a safe spot and wait passively for rescue. There would be no way to navigate through such an environment.
"There's nothing surprising about it; I've participated in rescue missions in Kapa City," Yang Xiaoyou said calmly as they were about to leave the hall.
When they first met, he had already brought up Zhao Chen's situation with Liu Lianyue. Liu Lianyue didn't know that Zhao Chen was the Leader of the Common Unity Party at that moment, but when she reported back, she would certainly inform him.
Yang Xiaoyou's remark served as a reminder to Zhao Chen that beyond the favor he owed him, he held leverage over him as well.
If this leverage remained unknown to the other party, it would be nearly useless unless he truly had a grudge against him. Only when they recognized that there was something to fear could he find ways to maximize his benefits.
In the eyes of others, he was merely a mercenary leader hired to deal with troubles.
"I see. Regardless, I must thank you for allowing me to leave here. The Hivemind Security Company will gain my personal friendship. Of course, I will also pay attention to your emerging party—provided you can truly survive," George Osborne said as they approached the airport terminal exit.
However, his words carried too much fluctuation and were overly formulaic. Personal friendship implied that he could use his responsibilities as an excuse to refuse most requests. His comments directed at Liu Lianyue were also intriguing.
The Chinese Empire is currently the world's leading economic entity and the top exporter and importer. If Britain truly wishes to rise from its ashes, it will inevitably need external assistance. If the Common Unity Party can persist through this crisis, they may need to proactively establish connections even without this incident occurring.
Of course, regardless of the circumstances, saving the other person's life would ensure that, even if this individual were a politician through and through, they would be inclined to offer appropriate support in similar situations in the future.
Moreover, through this connection, future transactions and exchanges of interests could be directly linked to the other party, serving as a pivotal point.
"Since I can gain George's friendship, I will not accept any payment for this time. I only hope to promote our company in a subtle way, just as a private individual," Yang Xiaoyou said, a hint of a smile flashing across his face hidden beneath the helmet.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, George Osborne was momentarily taken aback before nodding with a smile. Heart couldn't help but admire the quick reaction of the other party.
Compared to the reward offered by George, using himself as an example to share what had happened at some private gatherings would undoubtedly enhance the reputation of Blackwater Security Company significantly. While it might not add much to their mercenary tasks, security missions would certainly benefit greatly. It was likely that employers would include some high-status nobles; such intangible word-of-mouth was far more valuable than any advertisement.
Yang Xiaoyou understood this as well, which is why he made such a request. A hen that lays eggs is always more important than the eggs themselves. He had great trust in his team members and had already imparted knowledge on dealing with Corpses. Each member who joined had signed an exceptionally stringent confidentiality agreement.
At the same time, Noah and Nobunaga Hideyoshi possessed the most knowledge in this area. They would filter through layers of candidates, allowing those future elites to build their reputations through earlier missions while preparing fresh blood to take over later.
Yang Xiaoyou's initial intention in rescuing George was to prevent significant shifts in the world's trajectory as much as possible. Achieving this goal while gaining such rewards left him quite satisfied. Establishing a connection with this future prominent figure from Britain would also provide considerable assistance down the line. The only lingering concern was Huang Jing's escape.
"Now that you are safe, my mission is complete. In the environment of the Chinese Empire, my identity is not one that can be publicly acknowledged, so I hope you can understand." After receiving a satisfactory promise, Yang Xiaoyou slightly bowed and turned to leave in another direction.
His attitude was completely different from his initial harsh demeanor; it was evident that where there was milk, there was a mother—a pure mercenary style.
"Hey! Where are you going? Don't leave! Let's go together!" Liu Lianyue called out weakly from the other side, signaling her subordinates to support her as she followed suit while bidding farewell to George.
Given her own situation of being unable to be seen in public, she wasn't in much better shape either. Perhaps due to George's influence, the soldiers outside wouldn't immediately apprehend her, but the risk of facing consequences later remained high.
Now her only disappointment was that due to the dense crowd at the airport and the scarcity of hiding spots, although she had seen other Survivors along the way, most were already bitten. The only two still hiding behind a door refused to come out and risk venturing with their group of injured individuals.
As a result, aside from rescuing George, she hadn't managed to bring out any ordinary civilians.
In her current state, it was impossible for her to continue with her original plans; leaving with that strange fellow seemed like the best option.
Although Liu Lianyue could be quite stubborn at times, she was not inflexible.
Seeing the few people following behind, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but curl her lips. However, she didn't dwell on it too much. Given Liu Lianyue's current state, it would be quite difficult to quietly escape the quarantine zone. Regardless, she had helped her a lot along the way.
At this moment, they were heading towards the grassy area of the airport, intending to use the chaotic guidance vehicles and the planes on the runway as visual cover to slowly make their way to the edge.
Compared to the crowded environment of the waiting hall, the airport runway was much more open. Occasionally, a cat or two would be taken out by Sniper's precise shots.
After witnessing a wandering Corpse have its head blown off, Yang Xiaoyou raised her hand to stop the others behind her. She carefully scanned the surroundings at the corner of a building, searching for a suitable Sniper spot.
The distinction between living people and Corpses was quite clear, so the chances of friendly fire were low. However, if they were discovered by Sniper, it would likely alert nearby soldiers, which would ultimately lead to trouble.
Currently, there were two Disabled Signals. The high-speed movement method they used to enter was clearly no longer applicable.
After identifying several suitable positions and observing where the killed Corpses lay and how the planes and other obstacles were arranged, Yang Xiaoyou closed her eyes. In her mind, she completely simulated the environment at the scene and quickly calculated before finally determining a route leading to the location agreed upon with Feng Lin.
When Yang Xiaoyou and her companions successfully approached the barbed wire near the quarantine line, their eyes widened in shock at what lay before them.
A girl dressed in a Bear Costume, looking exceptionally cute, stood atop a corpse that had been sliced in half. That corpse was none other than the terrifying creature transformed from Huang Jing that had caused everyone so much trouble!
Several soldiers responsible for guarding this area lay unconscious nearby, creating an extreme visual contrast that delivered a shocking impact.
