Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 278 Things are different now
At a command, engines roared and more than a dozen cars lined up and drove toward the gate.

The door, which had been tightly closed for several days, slowly opened. The old Mi who had been blocking the door were very surprised and were stunned in unison: Why did the Dong Daren open the door?

But Old Mi quickly came to his senses and immediately shouted protest slogans.

At the back of the crowd, an honest-looking old man immediately called the city hall to inform them of the situation.

"Trying to leave? No way!" Talivia sneered upon receiving the message. "Block it! Don't let anyone leave!"

Zhonghoumi immediately spread the news, and the spies hidden in the crowd sprang into action, either by inciting others with words or by taking direct action. The office was completely blocked off, and no car was allowed to leave.

Duan Shuxun knew that the evacuation would not be smooth and had considered the possibility of being blocked by Lao Mi. He didn't expect that he would actually guess right.

It was impossible to force our way out, so Duan Shuxun simply ordered the convoy to stop, and the gate that had just been opened was closed again.

Neither the convoy nor Old Mi was willing to back down, whether inside or outside the gate.

But Ouyang keenly noticed that several guards jumped out of the car and ran to the backyard, seemingly to do something else.

A short while later, the guard returned and quickly got into the car.

Duan Shuxun smiled and said, "Let's go!"

All the vehicles turned around and drove into the backyard of the office.

Ouyang's car was originally positioned towards the back, but now the back of the line has become the front, and his car is now third in line.

Then he saw the car at the very front of the line accelerate and crash into the wall.

Ou Yang was so shocked he almost jumped up. The office was located on the edge of the epidemic area, and safety issues had been considered from the very beginning. The wall was more than three meters high, thick and sturdy.

There is also a drainage ditch outside the wall that is at least three meters deep.

The walls and ditches are integrated to firmly surround the office.

If we were to collide with it, how could things possibly turn out well?
However, the next second, an explosion rang out, and a gap about five meters wide was blasted in the solid wall. The wall at the gap slowly collapsed, like a bridge spanning the drainage ditch.

The vehicle in front was going even faster and sped off.

The remaining vehicles immediately followed and quickly sped out of the yard.

Old Mi, who was blocking the door, was still unaware of what was happening, but Talivia, who had set up several observation points around the office, noticed that the Asians had rushed out. She grabbed her walkie-talkie and started shouting, "They're coming out! They're coming out—"

Talivia suddenly had a bad feeling, but she remained calm and immediately notified the city gates that Lord Dong must not be allowed to leave under any circumstances.

She paced anxiously, unable to shake off her worry, and suddenly rushed out of the city hall: "No, I have to go and see!"

Moments later, several cars drove out of the city hall and sped toward the city gate.

"Faster, faster!" Talivia urged repeatedly.

At this point, she realized she had gone too far.

Talivia's intention was to force the Easterners to submit, not to drive them away—was the office important to Salleyton?
From a certain perspective, it is indeed very important, because without an office, the already installed purification equipment will lose maintenance and will gradually stop working over a period of time.

The purification system was the cornerstone of stabilizing the situation, and she could not afford to lose the office.

An enraged Old Mi would tear her to shreds, beyond repair. This isn't just a figure of speech; it's a foreseeable future!
Talivia was anxious, but the driver dared not drive too fast.

Are you kidding me? The road is still icy. If you drive too fast, you might slip and crash, resulting in a fatal accident.

He's not that crazy.

As a result, the more anxious Talivia became, the less the driver dared to act recklessly. The female mayor wished she could kick the driver out of the car and drive herself.

Unable to tolerate the driver's snail's pace any longer, Talivia snapped, "Speed ​​up! I order you to speed up!"

The driver shrugged unmoved: "Sorry, I must prioritize the safety of my passengers!"

Talivia, unable to contain herself any longer, suddenly drew a small women's pistol from her waist: "I command you, speed up!"

With a gun pressed against the back of his head, the driver immediately wet himself in fear: "Hehe, don't be impulsive, I'll drive faster, I'll drive faster, okay?"

He spoke readily, but in his heart he had made up his mind that as soon as that bitch Talivia got out of the car, he would turn around and leave immediately.

What the hell? I'm not putting up with this anymore.

The car was going faster and faster, and the wheels kept slipping and crushing the ice and snow on the ground. Several times it was a close call. If it weren't for the driver's experience and timely handling, everyone in the car would have died on the road.

Despite her haste, she was still a step too late. Just as she was about to reach the city gate, Talivia saw the office's convoy appear ahead.

"Pass it!" Talivia's face contorted as she frantically shook the driver's seat, giving the impression of riding on horseback.

She's panicking. The conflict between the two sides wasn't irreconcilable. Shouldn't the Easterners have bowed their heads and admitted defeat, and continued to cooperate? How did it escalate to the point of a complete withdrawal from Salleton?

The convoy had already stopped at the city gate. On the city wall, the guards, who had received orders in advance, were on high alert, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Everyone in the city knew what the Easterners had done, and they also knew that without the Easterners, there would be no purification device.

The Americans present could be roughly divided into three groups: one group was very grateful to the Easterners for bringing the purification equipment, considering them heroes who saved Salaiton; another group believed that the Easterners were dumping the purification equipment on them at exorbitant prices, and that they were not only not infected but also very hostile; and finally, there were the indifferent middlemen.

Secretary Liu was ordered to negotiate with the guards, but only received the response that no one was allowed to leave the city.

Ou Yang keenly noticed that Duan Shuxun's gaze was fixed on the distant city wall, and his heart skipped a beat: Did he intend to blow up the city wall?
This isn't a wall; if it were blown up, the Americans would explode on the spot.
At that critical moment, a black SUV sped up and, because it was going too fast, couldn't stop and crashed into the city wall with a bang, severely damaging the front of the car.

Everyone was stunned, wondering what was going on.

Just as several guards were about to rush to the rescue, the disheveled Talivia jumped out of the carriage and immediately shouted at the convoy, "Don't leave! Nobody is allowed to leave the city!"

Although there were some minor flaws, at least we made it in time.

Secretary Liu glanced back, but Duan Shuxun remained unmoved, merely nodding at him.

The former immediately understood and said expressionlessly, "Mayor Talivia, are you here to see me off?"

Talivia's eyes widened. "Human speech?"
She immediately shook her head: "Go back, you must go back, no one is allowed to leave?"

Secretary Liu laughed in exasperation. Was this some kind of dream?
He said solemnly, "Mayor Talivia, I must remind you that the evacuation of Salaidon is a decision made from above. Do you know the consequences of preventing us from leaving?"

Back then, Americans could detain students from Tokyo University for years with just one sentence. But times have changed. The United States is not the United States of the past, and Tokyo University is not the Tokyo University of the past either!
