Chapter 179
“But my friends are still inside!” Marina said, showing no intention to change her mind.
She struggled to break free from Simon’s grip and walked toward the apartment building.
Simon pulled her back again.
“I told you that it was very dangerous inside. We are not in Janeborough. They can gather a lot of people in a short time. You can’t handle it alone! Simon rarely said in such a stern tone.
“No matter what, I can’t leave my team members behind!” The look in Marina’s eyes was as determined as his.
She had once watched her teammates die in front of her.
She would not let such a thing happen again.
“Do you want to sacrifice your life for your team members?” Simon did not expect the little girl to be so stubborn.
“I’ll get them out even at the cost of my life,” Marina answered without hesitation.
The others might find it hard to understand her, but she had a reason to insist.
The team members had been through a lot together over the years.
And they had carried out so many missions together.
Although they had parted ways because of that incident, the friendship between them would never change.
Simon looked at the girl in front of him, with his lips compressed.
In the end, he was defeated by her gaze. He took her hand and led her back to the apartment building.
“What are you doing?” Marina asked in surprise..
“Since I can’t convince you to change your mind, I can only go back with you,” Simon said calmly.
“You don’t have to take the risk with me!” Marina immediately stopped in her tracks.
“If you don’t want me to take the risk, leave with me,” Simon said.
The two of them fell into a stalemate.
Now that Marina was unable to figure out a way to persuade Simon to leave, she could only go back to the building with him.
As Simon said, the entire apartment building was under the enemy’s control.
Anyone who got in would not be allowed to come out.
At this point, a bunch of residents were complaining loudly in the hall.
As soon as Marina and Simon walked in, they headed straight for Brendon and Ryan’s location.
Marina walked quickly because she was afraid that it would be too late.
They encountered many enemies along the way.
As Marina was in a hurry to find her teammates, she was not in the mood to figure out tactics to repel the enemies.
She would knock them down as soon as she saw any enemies in front of her.

She must do her best to find Brendon as soon as possible.
Simon was as good at combat just like Marina, and the two of them cooperated tacitly.
So although the enemy outnumber them, they managed to escape every time.
Just as Marina and Simon reached the floor where Brendon was, two people suddenly fell from the emergency exit beside them.
Marina thought that they were their enemies. She looked over warily, only to find that the people on the ground were Brendon and Ryan.
The two of them were covered in blood and looked especially terrifying.
Marina rushed forward and helped Brendon up.
“Brendon, how are you feeling?” she asked anxiously.
Brendon seemed to have heard Marina’s voice and opened his eyes with difficulty.
“Ca Captain? Why… are you back? It’s… it’s dangerous here. Hurry up and leave this place,” Brendon spat out the words feebly.
It looked like he would die at any moment.
“I’ll get you out of here!” Marina said as he helped Brendon up.
“Captain, there are… too many of them. You won’t be able to get out of here with me.” Brendon struggled, trying to get rid of Marina, but he was too
weak to do so.
“You underestimated me. I’ll figure out a way to get you out,” Marina said determinedly.
After she helped Brendon up, she glanced at Ryan who was still lying on the ground.
He seemed to be in better spirits than Brendon.
However, his pupils were contracting violently and his eyes were full of guilt.
Marina frowned, thinking that something unusual must have happened.
But this was not the time to hold him accountable. She had to take them out first.
“Help me support him,” Marina said to Simon.
Simon glanced at Ryan’s blood–stained clothes and picked him up by the collar with disdain.
“Can you still walk?” he asked.
“Ye…s.” At this moment, Ryan seemed to have regained some consciousness.
He glanced at the seriously injured Brendon and replied, his face pale.
“Since you can walk on your own, follow me,” Simon said coldly and stepped forward to take Brendon from Marina.
Marina immediately looked up.
“I’m stronger than you. You lead the way.” Simon gave her a perfect reason.
Marina did not argue with him and quickly scouted ahead.
This time, it was much more difficult for them to get out of there than before.
Because the other party had already begun to counterattack.

Moreover, they were taking two injured people with them.
A while later, they retreated into an empty room.
