Chapter 26 - Are they really your bodyguards?

XG 26 - Are they really your bodyguards?

Sergeant Bolek was shorter than his comrades walking behind him, but the muscles under his forest green uniform were intimidating, especially with his flashy badges. His steps were heavy and there was a gun in his hand at standby. With a soldier whispering to his ears as they walked, his expression was not happy when his gaze flickered to the carriage with survivors getting in.

With a wave of a hand to dismiss his informant, his severe expression hardly eased when he saw Suzie Yap. "Mrs Wong. To think you manage to survive and escape from the building. I have truly underestimated a mother on a mission to save her daughter. Mr Wong will definitely be at ease knowing you and your daughter survived."

Sergeant Bolek could easily see this group of survivors were symptom-free but still ordered the medic team to check them for any bite wounds and treat their injuries if they were confirmed to be clean. Vihaan did not resist and immediately had Kim Sung-Ho get the check-up first.

"My dear husband had contacted you?" Looks like that old man could still do something even on the private jet.

"He asked me a favour, to delay the bombing till tomorrow morning. Now that I see you, I finally understand why he's confident that you will make it." Sergeant Bolek's expression was hard to see with his extremely tanned skin, but his sneer revealed his white teeth. The whiteness was eye-catching in the dark.

Suzie Yap smiled. "Then we have truly troubled you. Now that we are out, please ignore my husband's favour and proceed with your original plans. Truly, we are inconsiderate and delayed the infection containment procedure."

"Remind your husband to keep his word." Sergeant Bolek would never want the bargain to be nullified when he could get a promise from the pharmacy owner Charles Wong.

Actually, he was not in a terribly bad mood for the bombing to be delayed since Charles Wong was not the only one asking him to do so. The Ambassador of Canada and the Chief of Police had also joined in to request him to halt the bombing until the rescue attempt was completed. Now that everyone was successfully rescued, he could finally do his task and avoid being held responsible if the infection spread.

"I will pass your word to him." Suzie Yap did not promise anything beyond that. Their business should be solved by themselves. In the first round, it was her that owed Sergeant Bolek a favour, but this man had died before he could redeem it.

Would he live longer this time?

While the adults were talking, Wong Xue Guo's attention was on the carriage. Her heart shook fiercer the more passengers in the carriage grew. It was also shaking rather scarily, and the survivors were yelling and shoving around to find a spot to get in. Someone yelled that they would come back for the second round, but no one wanted to wait for fear the monster would arrive at their hiding place.

They had made a lot of noise already. It was a matter of time before the zombies would find them.

"Prepare for the bombing! Set off once ready! Soldiers, shoot those with signs of infection! If there are too many people, just shoot!" Sergeant Bolek ordered grimly.

While it was good that there were survivors actively climbing out of the building, it was also a bad thing to suddenly have a large number of them at the same time. His men would have trouble identifying the infected among the mass and it would bring chaos if they do not control it. Sergeant Bolek could only harden his heart and order these innocent civilians to be shot.

The necessary equipment had already been delivered to the site and only required installation, which would not take a long time. The faster the bombing, the lesser chance it would spread.
