Chapter 88: Chapter 88 The Official Ship
The red assault boat slowed down as it approached the building, about fifty to sixty meters away.
Jiang Yan saw this, briskly walked through the office area, reached the glass curtain wall, then using the oblique triangular steel frame on the curtain wall for cover, she took out a telescope from Space and looked down.
The light inside the room was dim, blocked by the sun-shading film, and since she was at the third floor level, it would be quite difficult for the people on the assault boat to spot her.
Nevertheless, Jiang Yan still tried her best to hide behind the steel frame.
There were three men and one woman on the eight-person large assault boat, all dressed in one-piece waterproof suits with waterproof backpacks, and wearing windproof goggles on their faces.@@@@
The man sitting in the bow had a straight posture and a cold gaze, appearing to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.
...
He held a black submachine gun in his hands, and the waterproof backpack he carried on his back was of a special model, the kind that could fit a submachine gun in a large specialized tactical waterproof bag.
In the middle of the assault boat sat a man and a woman, also in their twenties, each holding a fire axe in their hands.
The man had a black mole above his left eyebrow, his face weary, he was loudly complaining about something with an unhappy expression, while the woman was slightly frowning and listening.
It was obvious she was impatient, but she did not interrupt the man.
It seemed she had been in the water earlier, as her hair was not completely dry and some strands clung together.
The man in the stern responsible for steering the boat had a baby-face and seemed the youngest; busy handling the steering, it was not visible if he carried any weapons.
The men all had buzz cuts, while the woman had ear-length short hair.
Looking at the well-equipped four people, Jiang Yan slightly furrowed her brow.
By the looks of it, they were undoubtedly from the official forces.
However, judging by the mannerisms and weapon configuration, the man holding the gun should be the regular army.
Coiled inside the boat cabin was a large roll of rescue rope with colorful patterns, on which you could visibly see several pulleys and metal buckles placed.
Such rope was likely used for transporting heavy objects in high-rise buildings.
Jiang Yan guessed that these four people were probably a small squad sent by the officials to search for supplies.
After all, normal people would come out to search for supplies today, and it was even more normal for official persons to do so.
“Huh, acting like this is some foreign battlefield? What’s there to look at here? Ridiculous!”
“Okay, Liu Jusheng, cut it out. Song Qian has been tasked with escorting us from above; whether there’s danger or not, him scouting ahead is always the right call.
Don’t you remember? Day before yesterday, other squads went out to search for supplies, and just as they finished packing, they were robbed by a group of people before the supplies could make it back to the base. That’s why they temporarily assigned us a warrior with a thermal weapon.
Besides, these next few days outside, you’d do well to keep your mouth shut. Song Qian is commanded by our superiors, so if you have a problem with his conduct, you’re disagreeing with their decision.”
Qi Mengnan finished speaking, slipped the life ring on, and then followed with a “splash” into the water.
Liu Jusheng, hearing her words, turned his head irritably and cursed,
“Damn it! Before the apocalypse, we were micromanaged every day from dawn to dusk, and we’re still being bossed around after the apocalypse...
and what’s more, by a bunch of clueless idiots! Damn, these underwear haven’t been dry since early this morning!”
Zhao Ziyi, hearing his rant, was taken aback,
“Wait, Brother Liu, is your waterproof gear leaking?”
“Leaking my ass!” Liu Jusheng glared at him irritably.
Zhao Ziyi: “Then why say it’s never dry, huh...?”
“So what if I sweat a lot, is that a problem?!” Liu Jusheng glared at him.
Zhao Ziyi: “...”
Meanwhile, Qi Mengnan had already swam back, and Zhao Ziyi had to change the subject and asked,
“Sister Qi, should we make the opening bigger to get the assault boat inside?”
Qi Mengnan looked thoughtfully at the submerged cubicles that came in and out of view,
“The inside is all office area; the water might not be deep enough, and the assault boat could get stranded. Find a place to secure it off to the side.
Song Qian just found that private dental clinic upstairs, I’ll go up and start searching with him, you anchor the boat and come up right away.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Ziyi nodded, took a nylon rope, and said to Liu Jusheng,
“Brother Liu, give me a hand here.”
