Chapter 311: Chapter 311: The Man’s Conviction_1
After finishing a series of Capture-the-Enemy punches, Jiang Yan was so tired he gasped for air, hands on hips as he heaved great breaths.
The headless female corpse swung a slap that landed squarely on his old face.
"Smack!"
Jiang Yan was sent flying, two of his teeth knocked out, his face swollen to the extent that he looked like a pigheaded fool.
His body traced a perfect parabola before crashing solidly into a wall.
"Thud!"
After hitting the ground, Jiang Yan grimaced in pain, howling miserably.
The headless female corpse approached Jiang Yan again, stopping in front of him and crooking her finger in a beckoning gesture. She was provoking him, challenging him to stand up and continue the fight!
Being provoked in such a way by a headless female corpse was something the proud Jiang Yan simply could not tolerate. If he could, he would be nothing but a spineless coward! So, he bore the excruciating pain and stood up.
A man must not cower, better to die fighting than to be a coward!
That was Jiang Yan’s belief, a man’s belief.
He was the captain, after all. In front of his men, he had to show determination, lead by example, be a role model!
Even if he was beaten black and blue, he had to stand back up and continue the battle with the headless female corpse!
Jiang Yan clenched his fists so tightly that he gathered all the strength in his body into his hands, his fingernails even digging into his flesh.
With all his might, he punched the headless female corpse in the stomach. But her stomach was as hard as iron.
"Thud!"
Accompanied by a thunderous dull sound, Jiang Yan’s fist ached fiercely, swelling up like a steamed bun.
The headless female corpse, however, remained unmoved.
"Smack!"
The headless female corpse returned Jiang Yan another slap, sending him flying once more, several more teeth lost, his face now swollen on both sides and blood and saliva spewing from his mouth.
"I’m going to fucking kill you!"
Jiang Yan stood up again and charged at the headless female corpse once more.
His spirit of never surrendering despite repeated failures infected the other team members. All the Patrol Team members present were no longer afraid and charged with Jiang Yan.
But as soon as they got close...
"Smack!"
"Smack smack!"
...
The headless female corpse’s hands moved as if they belonged to a thousand-armed deity, flapping extremely fast. In no time at all, she had knocked all the attacking team members to the ground.
The memory of the ghost at Moon Lake was still fresh in Qi Hong’s mind; he had paid a great price for not believing in Qin Feng back then.
Qi Hong knew it was futile to confront the headless female corpse head-on; they needed Qin Feng’s help, so he ran outside and called Song Sisi.
"Captain Song, it’s bad, the headless female corpse has risen again. This time that thing is too fierce, it’s knocked over all our team members. Hurry and bring Master Qin up here!"
"Alright!"
After hanging up, Song Sisi snatched the skewer Qin Feng was about to eat from his hand, saying irritably, "Still eating? Get to work!"
"Get to work? Did Jiang Yan piss his pants and call you for help?"
"It wasn’t he who called; it was Qi Hong. He said all the team members have been knocked down by that female corpse."
Qin Feng picked up another skewer of lamb, stuffing it into his mouth as he said carelessly, "So they got knocked down, so what? They’re not dead. No rush."
"If one of my team members gets killed, I’ll kill you first! Stop eating and come with me!" Song Sisi dragged Qin Feng into the building.
"Hey, hey, hey! I happen to be your best friend’s husband, is it really okay for you to be holding my hand like this? Aren’t you afraid of being caught by the paparazzi or something, making explosive news and letting your best friend see it? If that happens, I won’t be able to explain myself."
"Paparazzi? Explosive news? Who do you think you are, a big star? Paparazzi couldn’t care less about you, even if they were photographing stray dogs at the roadside!"
"That said, although you’re a shrew and a tough chick, your hand feels quite soft and tender. Being pulled by you like this doesn’t feel too bad."
"Disgusting rascal, who’s holding your hand? Beat it!"
Song Sisi let go of Qin Feng’s hand abruptly and stopped pulling him. She entered the elevator and pressed the "18" button, but Qin Feng didn’t get in.
"Hurry up and get in!"
"I’m not going in."
"Get in here now."
Song Sisi, tired of the back-and-forth, grabbed Qin Feng and pulled him in.
"Clang!"
The elevator doors closed, and it began to ascend.
"We’re screwed."
Suddenly Qin Feng said something that left Song Sisi puzzled, and she asked, "What do you mean ’we’re screwed’?"
"Had we not taken the elevator, but instead the stairs, we could have climbed up eighteen floors in at most five minutes. Using this crappy elevator, we’ll have to spend the night here—I doubt we’ll ever make it up."
"What do you mean?"
Just as Song Sisi’s words fell, the elevator made a loud ’click’ and then got stuck midway, motionless.
All the buttons on the control panel went out. No matter how much they pressed, it was useless. Even the light atop the elevator snuffed out.
This sudden turn of events made Song Sisi anxious.
"What’s happening? What do we do now?" she asked.
