"Your Excellency seems relaxed."
The two of them were three meters apart, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside the window which had become smaller.
"Well, after all, we have military personnel protecting us."
Jason said in a low voice, laughing meaninglessly.
He reached out to wipe away the smoke and stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
"The rain will stop tomorrow." Johnson looked out the window. It was pitch black and he could only see water droplets rolling down the panes.
"Congratulations in advance on your reinstatement, Colonel."
He turned his head. Perhaps because of his identity as a philanthropist, Johnson's facial features were tough but not overly sharp. He had an elegant temperament of old money and his smile was very gentle.
Louisa chuckled.
"You seem quite certain that I will be reinstated," Louisa said. "How can you be sure that this is the condition I'm proposing?"
Johnson asked, "So... is it for money?"
"If it's about money..." Johnson smiled. "How about working for me in the future? I can offer you a very handsome salary."
"Be a bodyguard?" Louisa raised her eyebrows.
"You can do something else if you want."
"...something else?"
Louisa asked, "What do you mean by something else?"
Johnson said, "Of course it's what you're good at."
"You mean, help you kill people and rob?" Louisa raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect him to mean this.
Johnson was amused by Louisa's words: "I am a law-abiding citizen."
"What is that? Being a nanny for female college students like you are now?" Louisa leaned against the wall, but what she was thinking in her head was that maybe he wanted her to be a personal bodyguard for his girlfriend and lover?
"...Being a bodyguard wouldn't be bad either." Johnson said, "You're quite skilled."
Louisa said, "If you compliment me on my marksmanship, forget it. You haven't even seen my skills."
Jason smiled slightly: "We'll see each other someday if we have the chance."
...
When Louisa returned to the nursery, Elise was already asleep in bed, leaving a spot aside for Louisa.
Sophia was fast asleep in her crib, and Louisa walked around her bed and stood at the window, looking out at the dark woods.
She was wondering where the remaining virus injection was. Could it be in Johnson's body?
After all, ever since she met Johnson, no matter whether she observed him openly or secretly, he was too calm and did not reveal any suspicious flaws.
If it happened to Sethbin, once Sethbin was taken away from the island, the system would definitely determine that the mission had failed.
Is Cespien still on the island?
Louisa took out the Blue Sky Group chairman’s cell phone and two lists from her pocket and thought for a long time.
There are also many doubts about the virus injection found on Charles.
If the person who killed Charles was after the virus, then why didn't they take the injection?
Louisa returned to Elise's side, lying on the bed with her clothes on, holding a gun in her hand to respond to any situation at any time.
She just closed her eyes and rested, without falling into a deep sleep.
Originally, Louisa thought that Elise had fallen asleep, but not long after, she heard Elise tossing and turning frequently.
Elise was indeed not asleep.
She kept thinking about what happened with Seth Bin and couldn't sleep at all.
If Seth Bin really abandoned her and ran away with Sofia, she didn't know how to face this marriage in the future.
At this moment, Elise would rather Sesbin was really dead than accept the cruel truth.
The wind and rain outside the window didn't stop until the early morning.
At daybreak, Louisa heard a few bird calls.
She looked at her watch and it was almost six o'clock.
Louisa quietly got up and went to the bathroom to clean up a little. When she came out, she saw Elise also sitting up in bed.
"...didn't sleep all night?"
Elise nodded: "How was your rest?"
Louisa nodded in response: "Go wash up when you wake up. I'll call them at half past six."
After Elise went into the bathroom, Louisa stood at the window and looked out for a while.
After the baptism of heavy rain, the leaves in the woods are much brighter and look refreshing and comfortable.
Elise quickly came out of the bathroom and began to change Sophia's diaper and prepare milk powder.
"Where are the keys to the castle usually kept?"
Elise said, "They are all kept by the housekeeper."
"No backup?"
"No."
Elise asked, "What's wrong?"
"The back door is locked. If you go in through the back door, you may not be able to get through." Especially since there is a child with you.
Iris frowned: "What should we do? There are too many zombies if we go through the main entrance."
She didn't dare to think about holding Sophia. What if she was scared by the roar of zombies on the way?
Once she starts crying, she'll be a sitting duck.
Louisa stood by and watched, her eyes falling on a baby crawling area in the corner where some toys were piled on it.
She walked over and picked up a toy car that made music, looking thoughtful.
Elise saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"
Louisa said, "Maybe this can help us lure away the zombies at the gate."
...
Everyone stood in the corridor, ready to leave.
Before leaving, Louisa contacted the Bird's Nest and confirmed that the helicopter would arrive on time at 8 o'clock. Then Louisa led the way down, with Johnson following behind.
After dealing with the two escaped fish at the stairs on the second floor, everyone came to the familiar corridor on the first floor.
"Now let's split up. You guys go to the throne room. If you encounter zombies on the way, don't fight them. I'll lead the zombies at the door away."
"The throne room? It's still quite far from the main door." Nora said worriedly, "There are a lot of zombies in the green living room. The main door to the throne room might have been smashed down."
"Yes, and I don't even know if the garden leading from the green living room to the atrium is open."
"Don't worry about that. I'll find a solution. Just stay close to the gate and ensure your safety. If there are any special situations, we can communicate via intercom."
The other walkie-talkie was in Nora's hand.
Louisa turned her gaze to Elise: "You also need to take good care of Sophia and try to keep her quiet."
Iris frowned, sighed, and nodded: "I'll do my best."
"Sarah, you can't shoot, just stay in the middle of the team."
Sarah nodded.
"Take action."
After everyone separated, Louisa came to the banquet hall with a gun. After checking around to make sure there were no zombies, she opened the window, leaned against the window and looked at the direction of the gate through the atrium garden.
Entering through the gate is a huge lantern-shaped circular hall where many zombies gather.
There are two doors in the hallway that lead directly to the courtyard garden, but that door is now closed.
Now we need to lure away all the zombies in the foyer, scarlet living room, and green living room.
I looked at my watch and saw that five minutes had passed.
She pulled out her intercom, pressed the button, and asked, "Are we in the throne room yet?"
After a while, Nora replied, "We've reached the throne room. No one's inside, and the door isn't broken."
"Well, listen to my instructions later."
