Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 252 It’s not an accident
Piqué entered the hangar surrounded by a mob of thugs, accompanied by Baker, Demi, and Leili. The other veterans were excluded from the group, not to mention Ouyang, the Asian.

Although everyone was unwilling, they kept their mouths shut in the face of a group of thugs armed with automatic weapons, at most whispering a few words.

Perhaps out of absolute confidence, or perhaps because they didn't want to waste time, Pique's men didn't confiscate everyone's weapons. Instead, they sent a few people to keep an eye on Old Mi.

Upon entering the hangar, Pique saw the armored vehicle parked in the corner and immediately cried out in surprise.

But he only called out once.

If it weren't for the fact that he could leave by plane, Pique would definitely have seized the armored vehicle, but now, of course, he wouldn't bother with it.

Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei were hiding in the car with their guns, showing no intention of showing themselves.

Jiang Yuwei was a little worried about Ou Yang's situation, but Zhu Yiming felt that with Ou Yang's skills, this small scene was nothing to worry about, and there was no need to be overly concerned.

Pick shifted his gaze from the armored vehicle to the plane, narrowing his eyes suspiciously: "Berry, this plane is repaired, right?"

“Of course!” Although Berry disliked Pique, he would never allow anyone to doubt his professionalism.

"It can fly now?"

"of course can!"

"Excellent!" Pique snapped his fingers several times. "Then what are we waiting for?"

A group of men worked together to push the plane out of the hangar and park it at the start of the runway.

Then they drove the refueling truck over and filled the tank.

With everything ready, Pique signaled his men to board the plane.

The number of people already exceeded the plane's capacity, but in order to control Berry, Piqué also had to bring Demi and Laylie, instantly swelling the number of passengers to nineteen.

"No, absolutely not!" Berry refused without hesitation. "We can only send a maximum of twelve people!"

Pique's face darkened: "No, everyone has to go up!"

"Impossible!" Berry argued vehemently. "This plane doesn't have that much carrying capacity. Twelve people is the limit; any more than that would compromise flight safety!"

Pique looked at him suspiciously: "Are you kidding me?"

"Believe it or not!" Berry stated firmly, "You can all go up, but I'm sorry, I can't accompany you!"

Pique finally realized that Berry wasn't talking nonsense, and after a moment's thought, he said, "I need a few people to stay. Are there any volunteers?"

A group of his men stared at him expectantly, but no one spoke.

Pique added, "Whoever stays, the property I leave behind belongs to them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several of his men stepped forward.

Pique smiled with satisfaction: "Berry?"

"Okay, no problem." Berry's gaze fell on little Leili, then she suddenly shoved the little girl. "Get out of here!"

Little Leili was stunned. She didn't know why Berry was treating her like this, and thought she had done something wrong. She immediately stood up and grabbed Baker's clothes.

"I said, get out of here!" Berry said sternly, shoving the little girl to the ground.

Demi was stunned: "Berry, what are you doing?"

"There's no extra room on the plane." With that, he pulled Demi onto the plane without looking back, leaving little Leili, her eyes brimming with tears, outside.

For some reason, before boarding the plane, Berry suddenly looked at Ouyang with a meaningful look in his eyes.

The little girl didn't cry or make a fuss; she just sat there blankly like a puppet.

After boarding the plane, Berry relaxed completely.

Pique smiled and wanted to pat Beck on the shoulder, but because he was too short, he could only pat his arm: "There's always something going to happen, let's hurry!"

Baker agreed and ducked into the cockpit.

Pique chuckled, grabbed Demi's slender waist, and moved his large hand downwards.

Demi's expression changed, and she quickly slapped away the groping hand, deliberately raising her voice: "What exactly happened? Is there anything I don't know?"

"You idiot, do you want to die? Berry can see this place with just a turn of his head, okay?"
Pick gave Demi's shapely buttocks a light pat, having taken full advantage of the situation, before casually walking into the cabin with his hands in his pockets: "Go ask your Berry."

Demi composed herself, feigning displeasure as she followed him into the cockpit. "Berry, I need an explanation!"

Berry expertly performed the various pre-flight checks: "Explain what?"

"What exactly happened? Did you and Pique conspire together?"

Berry replied calmly, "Just as you see."

Demi looked incredulous and lowered her voice to accuse her, "How could you do this? That's Pique!"

Berry paused for a moment, but quickly resumed her actions: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

He sighed softly, "You saw it too. We agreed that there would only be seven of us, but none of them kept their promise."

"You heard the news beforehand?"

Berry nodded: "It wasn't me who heard the news, but Pique who heard the news and came to me on his own initiative... You know what kind of person Pique is, I couldn't refuse him."

"My God!" Demi looked like she was about to break down. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? You know, I was terrified when he grabbed me!"

Baker started the engine, and the propeller at the nose of the plane began to spin: "I dare not tell you, otherwise you will definitely give yourself away."

Demi frowned: "You really don't trust me?"

“Demi, this isn’t a matter of belief!” Baker sighed. “We have to take off. We can discuss this later, okay?”

Demi gave Baker a deep look and said reluctantly, "Okay."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Baker watched her swaying figure, his eyes filled with no warmth, only deep resentment.

You bitch, do you think I don't know you and Pique have been hooking up for ages? You even leaked the news about the plane!

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

If Demi was simply unable to cope with the risks of the pandemic and had to find a backer, Berry wouldn't have anything to say.

But the relationship between Demi and Piqué is not that simple.

Baker didn't know much, but it was enough.

He gently pushed the throttle, the propeller spun faster, the plane accelerated and finally took off.

On the ground, everyone watched the plane take off, their expressions filled with complex emotions.

He wasn't envious of the Americans on the plane at all. Unless one of them was lucky enough to be immune, everyone else would eventually get infected.

Fate has already been decided, so why struggle?
Ouyang sighed, walked up to Xiao Leili, took her little hand, and helped the little girl up.

Leili lowered her head and obediently followed Ouyang.

Ouyang looked at the little girl and sighed inwardly.

What a sin...

Baker doesn't seem like the kind of two-faced person, so why did he suddenly change his tune?
Left with no hope, the elderly Americans at the airport began to leave in twos and threes. But the thugs didn't leave; instead, they quickly headed towards the hangar!

Ou Yang's face darkened, and he thought to himself that Ou Yang was courting death.

He sneered and watched coldly as the men crawled into the hangar.

Then, bursts of gunfire suddenly erupted from the hangar. Old Mi, who hadn't left yet, turned around in astonishment, only to see a blood-soaked thug rushing out of the hangar.

But after taking only two steps, he collapsed to the ground.

A deep rumble came from the hangar, and an armored vehicle burst through the gate and appeared before everyone.

Those who remained at the scene felt a tightness in their chests and quickened their pace.

Ouyang, holding the little girl's hand, slowly walked to the car and let out a long sigh: "Let's go too..."

boom--

A muffled explosion suddenly came from the sky, and everyone looked up in surprise to see a ball of flame explode in the air, with countless fragments falling from the sky.

"How did it explode?" Zhu Yiming exclaimed in surprise. "That plane was too dangerous! Luckily, we didn't get on it!"

Ouyang suddenly recalled Berry's meaningful look before boarding the plane and a thought popped into his head: "It shouldn't be about the plane."

"What?" Zhu Yiming didn't understand.

Ou Yang's expression was complicated, and he asked abruptly, "What happens if the car breaks down?"

"Let's break down the anchor..." As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhu Yiming immediately understood.

If there's a problem with the plane, it could be out of control or it could fall from the sky, but it would never suddenly explode!

Zhu Yiming pointed to the plume of smoke in the air: "Then what is this...?"

“Have you forgotten?” O’Yan asked with a troubled expression. “Berry said he planted a bomb on the plane.”

Zhu Yiming suddenly realized: "This is just too unlucky!"

He instinctively thought it was an accidental bomb explosion.

Ouyang didn't say anything, but his intuition told him that this was no accident!
No wonder Berry entrusted him with taking care of little Laylie, no wonder Berry abandoned little Laylie before boarding the plane, it turns out that everything was premeditated!
Ou Yang suddenly felt mentally and physically exhausted.

Then, he suddenly saw a white umbrella bloom in the air!

Ou Yang's expression changed: "Where are the binoculars? Give me the binoculars!"

Jiang Yuwei immediately handed him the binoculars. Ou Yang raised the binoculars and quickly adjusted the focus. Soon, he saw Baker's figure under the parachute.

"It's Baker!" Ouyang put down his binoculars, picked up the little girl, and climbed into the car, excitedly banging on the door: "Go, go, go!"

The armored vehicles immediately drove away from the airport and headed towards the direction where Berry had landed.

Other American soldiers also spotted Berry, but they only glanced at him curiously a few times and showed no intention of helping him; instead, they left on their own.

Shortly afterward, the parachute disappeared.

The armored vehicle sped along, taking more than ten minutes to reach the destination, but so much time had passed that they had no idea where Baker had ended up.

After wandering around like a headless fly for a while, I finally found the parachute hanging in the tree and Baker dangling under it.

Ou Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hey, handsome, need any help?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had only seen one umbrella flower, which meant that Demi hadn't escaped. How could she joke with Berry at a time like this?

Berry was pale: "Of course I need it, please hurry!"

Ouyang estimated the height and abandoned the idea of ​​shooting the parachute lines. Like a nimble monkey, he quickly climbed up the tree and rescued Baker.

Baker was tall and strong, and it took him a lot of effort to get down from the tree. He finally managed to drive the armored vehicle to the foot of the tree before he was able to escape.

“Thank you, thank you so much!” Baker said.

Ou Yang forced a smile: "I'm very sorry about Demi's situation. Please accept my condolences."

Baker shook his head and said nothing.

He didn't want to air his dirty laundry in public; he just didn't want to mention Demi.

Ouyang mistakenly assumed he didn't want to talk about it because he had just lost his wife: "If I told you that Demi has been infected with pneumococcus, would you feel any better?"

Berry was taken aback: "Are you serious?"

Ou Yang nodded, his expression sincere.

"How did you know?" Berry asked suspiciously.

“I know some medicine… You may have heard that doctors in the East don’t need testing equipment; they can diagnose illnesses through observation, smelling, questioning, and palpation.” Ou Yang glared and lied… not entirely, though, since he could indeed smell the spores and thus determine whether there was an infection.

Berry was extremely surprised: "You're a doctor?"

"No!" Ou Yang shook his head. "I only know a little bit, really only a tiny bit!"

This is not a lie. He once looked up what the "pregnancy pulse" was out of curiosity. According to the information online, the "pregnancy pulse" is actually a slippery pulse, which, simply put, feels like beads rolling on your fingertips.

In addition, I learned about sparrow-pecking pulse from the novel.

Ouyang also wanted to know what the pulse would look like after being infected with Pneumococcus, but he was not a professional. Even if a group of infected people lined up for him to slowly feel, he would not be able to tell the difference between them and normal people.

Berry was stunned: "What about me?"

“You’re fine for now,” Ou Yang said honestly. “It’s possible you’ve developed immunity.”

More likely, the person is already infected but is still in the incubation period, so they can't smell it!
However, there's no need to explain these details.

Many of the elderly people present today are infected; they are all walking sources of infection. Berry is either immune or infected; there is no third possibility.

Berry forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I was prepared... What about Leili?"

"In the car!" Ou Yang pointed casually.

Upon opening the car door, Berry saw little Leili and immediately flashed a warm smile: "Hey, my little princess, did you miss me?"

The little girl shrank back, her eyes filled with fear, her gaze darting away.

"Hey, it's me, I'm back!" Berry reassured patiently. "I was surrounded by bad people before, but I just didn't want you to come into contact with them, so I deliberately left you behind, understand? That's not true!"

Little Leili was clearly not so easy to coax, and Ouyang, watching from the sidelines, felt a headache coming on for Berry.

Fortunately, Berry had plenty of time. After much persuasion, he finally managed to calm the little girl down and carefully hold her in his arms.

Ouyang glanced at the time and said in a low voice, "Berry, we're about to leave. What are your plans?"

Berry gave a wry smile: "I don't have any plans. Just live a good life, it's that simple."

Ouyang hesitated for a moment: "We plan to continue south. If you'd like, you can come with us!"

Baker hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Never mind, this is my home, the place I know best."

He turned to look at the city: "The assets Pike left behind are enough for me and Little Leili to use... By the way, what do you need? You can add them too!"

Ouyang was surprised. What a great thing! Then what are you waiting for!
