Chapter 337 Living Zombies 14
After making their decision, the three rested for one night and then headed back to the base.
Having not seen his family for several days, Xu Shuangwen slammed on the gas pedal, driving the car at breakneck speed towards the base.
As the car passed through another county, Ling Yi suddenly said, "Stop."
The two people in the car simultaneously turned their gazes to the zombie that had called for a halt. Finally, Xi Cheng spoke first: "Yi Yi, what's wrong?"
Ling Yi smiled meaningfully: "I think I can get my revenge without going back."
Yan Leran's appearance here is truly baffling; it's unclear whether it's her bad luck or my own extraordinary fortune.
Pushing open the car door, Ling Yi strode into the textile factory.
The zombie virus outbreak occurred at 10:00 AM, which was during working hours. Thousands of people had gathered in the labor-intensive textile factory.
Some of these people turned into zombies instantly, while others turned into zombies while escaping. In short, less than one in ten of those who escaped survived.
And so this place became a place that everyone feared.
If it weren't for the high prices paid for textile machinery and various raw materials at the base, no combat squad would have come here.
"Be careful, don't make any noise. If you see a zombie, try to kill it with one shot and don't alert the other zombies."
A group of combatants, clad in protective suits emitting odors, cautiously advanced along the wall, while their captain solemnly instructed each member.
The voices rang in his ears, but the captain remained calm.
It wasn't until a woman's voice rang out that the captain's expression softened somewhat: "Miss Yan, please take good care of yourself. If necessary, you can leave us behind and run away first."
Although Miss Yan has no combat experience, her work experience at the research institute makes her absolutely qualified to be the doctor accompanying the team.
Not to mention, after learning about their mission, they provided them with more than a dozen sets of protective suits for experiments, and even contacted another highly capable squad to complete the mission together with them.
Such a treasure should be protected well, shouldn't it?
"Received." Yan Leran said in a deep voice.
She gripped the silenced pistol tightly in her hand, her eyes nervously scanning her surroundings.
Just a day earlier, after successfully contacting a combat team willing to take her on, she resigned from the research institute.
The fact that Xi Cheng wasn't at the research institute was the best opportunity for her to leave. Otherwise, if she resigned and ended up in the hands of this professor with a less-than-stellar reputation, who knows what would happen to her?
Having lived in the base for several years, Yan Leran had almost forgotten the cruelty of the outside world. Fortunately, before coming to this textile factory, she had been involved in a few sporadic battles, which was enough to keep her legs from shaking in this situation.
Even so, she still felt fear when she saw those walking zombies.
She swallowed nervously, took a step, and heard a cracking sound, which made all the zombies turn around.
Yan Leran almost thought that it was her carelessness that had alerted these guys.
But when she noticed where her teammates were looking and looked in the same direction, she realized she was overthinking things.
On the wall, two people stood casually, their human presence unabashedly attracting the attention of the zombies.
Upon discovering fresh food, the zombie instantly turned and lunged towards the two people.
"Run!" The captain was furious at the sight.
How many years has it been since the apocalypse? How come this kind of brute is still alive?
Is openly attracting zombies because they think you're too fat and want them to help you lose weight?
In his rage, the person standing on the wall, grinning, finally turned around and waved slightly in his direction.
Under a sky where the sun rarely shines, his expression was bright and cheerful, a rare sight in this apocalyptic world.
"Professor Xi?" The captain recognized the person instantly.
When he received the experimental crystal core reagent back then, he had the opportunity to meet Professor Xi, who was investigating the side effects of the drug.
Two years have passed, and he seems to have not changed at all, while I have turned gray from worry.
"Oh no!" After a couple of seconds of sadness, the captain slapped his thigh: "We can't let Professor Xi Cheng get into danger. Come with me!"
As he spoke, he rushed out.
Perhaps it was because Xi Cheng's presence was too strong, the sound he made didn't attract the attention of any of the zombies, who continued running straight toward the two of them.
Just as the first zombie's hand touched the wall and was about to climb up, a purple light suddenly burst forth from the wall.
The lightning bolts surged like a tide, instantly engulfing the zombies that approached them.
When the thunderous sea receded, Ling Yi was pleased to see only black crystal cores and ashes scattered by the wind on the ground.
There really isn't any superpower more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than lightning.
After the apocalypse ends, perhaps she will study "several feasible methods for generating electricity using lightning-induced supernatural abilities".
At that time, we should be able to release a core version.
A gust of wind blew by, causing Ling Yi's short hair to flutter slightly and the box handed to her from behind to sway gently.
Ling Yi looked down and saw Xu Shuangwen standing on the roof of the car behind the wall, handing her a box expressionlessly.
Well, a grand display needs a backing.
Five minutes of firing can charge 300 units.
Fortunately, she killed enough zombies, otherwise she wouldn't even have been able to break even.
Despite his lackluster area-of-effect skills, Xi Cheng stood smugly with his hands on his hips, saying, "Don't you know who's behind me!"
That brainless zombie dared to eat him!
He has his own people under his protection; which zombie could possibly eat him?
Xi Cheng glanced triumphantly at the zombies that were not frightened by the lightning and were still heading this way, then quickly scrambled down the wall to pick up the spoils that had been smashed down to their crystal cores.
Making Yi Yi eat things dug out of her brain is inhumane enough, but to make her eat crystal cores trampled by zombies is even more inhumane.
what……
It's a bit hard to imagine.
Before the next wave of zombies arrived, Xi Cheng swept away all the crystal cores on the ground in a blur and stood back on the wall.
He casually tossed the oversized sack behind him, pointed forward with one hand, and said menacingly, "One by one, chop them down!"
Behind him was a hardworking old ox washing crystal cores to support the two of them in their show-off antics.
On the outskirts of the zombie horde, a group of combatants suddenly stopped, staring in astonishment at the scene.
This is this...
No wonder Professor Xi dared to be so arrogant; it turns out he has such powerful bodyguards by his side.
Someone said sourly, "With bodyguards like these, I don't know how many machines we could steal back. We could kill every zombie we see, and we wouldn't even be able to absorb all the crystal cores!"
The team leader glared at the team member who was fantasizing about the Empress making pancakes, then turned to Yan Leran: "Leran, why did Professor Xi come out like this? Do the people at the base know he's taking a risk?"
"Le Ran, why do you look so pale?"
