Chapter 41: Escaping the Hospital

Five minutes had passed since Lin Shi killed a bodyguard from the Shen family on the seventh floor.

The security guards in the surveillance room had already gathered their forces and were heading towards the building.

They had also called the police, but it would take another ten or so minutes for the security officers to arrive.

Lin Shi quickly walked out of the ward, preparing to enter the safety passage of the inpatient building and leave through the stairs.

However, at this moment, a hand grabbed his trouser leg.

Li Huilan had woken up at some point and was lying on the ground, tightly clutching Lin Shi's trouser leg.

She had only fainted from fear for a moment, and upon hearing the gunshot from the ward, she forced herself to regain consciousness.

Li Huilan's eyes, red with tears, stared at Lin Shi with despair and anger:

"Did you kill my son, right? Did you kill my son, right?!"

Lin Shi struggled but couldn't break free.

He looked down at the desperate mother, feeling no compassion:

"Your son killed many people, you know that, right? He deserved to die! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not teaching him well."

Li Huilan screamed:

"He could be punished by law for killing people!! Why did you have to kill him?! Why?!!"

"And even if my son killed people, they were all just lowly commoners.

My son was born noble, and killing a few peasants, giving money to their families, was their honor! You executioner, give me back my son!!!"

Without these vicious words, her pitiful appearance of losing her son would have been touching.

Lin Shi sneered, his exposed eyes full of sarcasm:

"Then let the law punish me as well."

After saying that, he kicked the woman away and ran towards the safety exit.

Li Huilan's expression was ferocious, her face full of resentment as she watched Lin Shi's back, screaming:

"You killed my son, I will make your parents, brothers, and all relatives and friends accompany my son in death!! No matter where you run, I will make you suffer and die!!"

Lin Shi suddenly turned his head, his eyes turning cold and murderous in an instant.

He should have thought of it earlier, that a person like Shen Jinbin would grow up like that, and his family would be related.

Shen Fanren was not a good person.

Shen Jinbin's mother was also a wolf in sheep's clothing.

There is a head for every debt, and he originally didn't want to kill more people.

Seeing Lin Shi stop and realize something, Li Huilan retreated in horror:

"No, no, no! I was just joking just now, I..."

Before Li Huilan could finish speaking, Lin Shi had already fired without hesitation.

After a gunshot, a blood hole appeared on Li Huilan's forehead.

Li Huilan's eyes widened, and she fell to the ground with a "bang."

After firing one shot, Lin Shi didn't even look at Li Huilan and swept down the corridor like the wind.

As soon as Lin Shi left, the elevator door on the eighth floor opened.

Five hospital security guards swarmed out of the elevator and ran to the outside of the intensive care ward, shocked by the bloody scene in front of them.

The corridor was full of flowing blood.

"Goodness! What kind of grudge is this?"

"They said it's the son of the richest man inside, quickly check if there's any breath left?!"

"Dead, dead!!"

"These, these were all shot!"

"What should we do? Should we chase?"

At this time, a voice came from the walkie-talkie:

"The murderer escaped through the safety passage!"

"Chase! No need to run too fast, just hold on."

...

When Lin Shi ran to the second floor, he heard the dense footsteps from downstairs.

"Pretty fast."

He murmured, opened the window in the corridor, took a look, and jumped down.

A roll reduced the impact, stood up and ran into the registration hall.

"The murderer jumped out the window and ran towards the registration hall.

People downstairs, hurry up and surround him!"

The registration hall was crowded, and just a few security guards couldn't watch him.

Lin Shi quickly evaded the security guards and slipped into the restroom.

When he came out again, Lin Shi was dressed casually, having removed his mask and hat.

He left the hospital openly and without any hindrance.

If today wasn't the end of the world, security officers could screen the people entering and leaving the hospital through surveillance to lock onto Lin Shi.

The world-renowned Xia Country's Sky Eye is not just talk.

But screening suspicious individuals through surveillance takes time, and now, there's no time left.

Lin Shi hailed a taxi and glanced at the top right corner of the Treasure Pot:

[The first wave of danger will arrive in 28 minutes, please be prepared.]

He looked through the car window at the ordinary people on the streets outside who were oblivious to the danger.

The apocalypse was about to come, and this should be the last moment of peace and tranquility.

It seemed that the post he had made last time had not had any effect.

The era of peace and prosperity was about to vanish.

Lin Shi kept his eyes fixed on the countdown timer on the Treasure Pot interface.

When he was nearly 4 kilometers away from his safe house, the taxi radio suddenly crackled.

"Crackle...

All vehicles, please pay attention.

This is the National Security Bureau.

At 10:05 AM local time, a solar storm will reach Blue Star.

For driving safety, please pull over and park all vehicles for ten minutes.

Parking violations within ten minutes will not be subject to traffic penalties.

All vehicles, please pay attention, this is the National Security Bureau..."

The broadcast repeated this message over and over.

Lin Shi was stunned.

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

…

Time goes back to fifteen minutes earlier.

On the top floor of the Hai City Apocalypse New Energy office building.

In the office of Shen Fanren, the chairman of Apocalypse New Energy.

Shen Fanren was standing in front of the window, listening to his subordinates' report with a solemn expression:

"Mr.

Shen, we have found out that someone above has intercepted all the export goods of Xia Country in the past two days.

And the orders placed externally have increased dozens of times in these two days.

In addition, our people have found out that the military has suddenly received a first-level combat readiness order.

The mayor received a call in the early morning, and the whole Hai City will have a power outage for a day.

We haven't found out the specific reason yet."

"Oh?"

Shen Fanren's eyebrows were tightly locked.

He didn't look at his son, whose life was in danger, but stayed in Hai City because there had been many incomprehensible big moves from the top in the past two days.

This era is an information age, and whoever can grasp the first-hand information can be the first to eat the crab.

Shen Fanren's achievements today are inseparable from his closeness to the top's pace.

In recent years, frictions among countries have been continuous, does this mean war is about to break out?

But why would there be a power outage before a war?

Shen Fanren was a bit anxious about the country's actions that he couldn't see through this time.

At this moment, Shen Fanren's private phone suddenly rang.

The incoming call display "110" made Shen Fanren's eyebrows jump.

He answered the phone, and a serious voice came through:

"Mr.

Shen, this is the Sha City Public Security Bureau.

We regret to inform you that your son, Shen Jinbin, and ex-wife, Li Huilan, along with three bodyguards, were murdered a few minutes ago."

Shen Fanren was shocked all over.

"What are you saying?!"

The voice on the phone continued:

"In addition, we found illegal weapons such as pistols and daggers on these three bodyguards.

We have notified the Hai City Public Security Bureau, and please do not leave Hai City in the next two days to cooperate with our investigation..."
