Chapter 809: Hunting at Dawn (25)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The senior staff who retreated from the southern base were all arranged in another place, and they didn’t want to have anything to do with Poison Spider.
But after the southern base was destroyed, there was only An City, a slightly larger city, left.
They couldn’t find a good place to stay any time soon.
Liang Xuan was injured in the elevator. She returned to their main force, and her expression was still somewhat embarrassed.
That man’s gaze when the elevator closed always appeared before her eyes.
“Captain Liang, the chief is calling for you.” The person beside Liang Xuan pulled her wandering mind back to earth.
Liang Xuan returned to herself and looked up at the chief above. She cleared her throat and said, “We arrived at the pharmaceutical company, but didn’t find any useful clues, as the building suddenly exploded.”
“Right, it’s very strange. If we hadn’t run so fast, we would have all been buried under it now.”
“And the things that came out from that building...”
The people on both sides of Liang Xuan added one after another.
The chief was a middle-aged man and newly appointed to the position, as the previous one had died at the southern base.
The chief asked while frowning, “Those monsters you’re talking about, have they been blown up?”
Someone answered hesitantly, “Within that short time, they shouldn’t have managed to escape...”
They were not sure. The situation was so urgent back then that they only ran for their lives.
“Has the news been passed to Poison Spider?”
Liang Xuan answered, “I’ve reported to him. Chief... I think they’re also sticking their hands in the pharmaceutical business.”
“Why do you say that?” the chief asked.
“I saw a man at Poison Spider’s place and he looked a little familiar. Speaking of the pharmaceutical company, just now I remembered that he was also there at that time.”
Liang Xuan wasn’t speaking at random. She really saw him.
But it was just a glance over a distance, so she didn’t immediately recognize him at Poison Spider’s place.
The chief meditated. “An City is now Poison Spider’s territory and we’re limited in our actions here. We need to find somewhere else suitable for being a base as soon as possible.”
The chief meant that no conflicts should occur...
Liang Xuan felt a little suffocated, but she understood their situation right now.
It was not the right time to clash with Poison Spider.
“You should go back and take a good rest.”
Before Liang Xuan and the others left the room, someone rushed in hurriedly.
“Chief, something happened...”
–
Several monsters appeared outside An City.
They were killed by everyone, but the appearance of the monsters told them that those things were still alive.
The news of the monsters appearing also spread like wildfire, and people fell into panic inside and outside of the city for a time.
“I heard there’s one of them that was covered in burns and didn’t seem alive, but it didn’t die.” Hao Zi was telling the story he heard from others, lively.
Su Tai frowned. “Looks like the thing has strong life force.”
Ming Shu also added, “And perhaps strong reproductive ability.”
“Ancestor, can you please keep your mouth shut?” Hao Zi wailed. “Inauspicious topic bringing bad luck, pah pah pah.”
Ming Shu smiled. “I didn’t talk at random. Isn’t that what’s shown in those movies about invasive species?”
Hao Zi bowed a salute and pushed the snacks collected by the little zombie to her. “Here are your snacks.”
Eat the snacks and stop talking.
Even if it was true, he didn’t want to listen. He just wanted to cheat himself!
The world was in ruins. Couldn’t he just daydream and comfort himself?
The little zombie stared at him angrily. The snacks were collected by him and should be offered to the king by him personally.
Hao Zi turned his head to meet the little zombie’s fierce gaze. He shivered and hid behind Huang Zheng.
Why did everyone look so scary to him.
What bad things had he done!
Only these three monsters appeared, and the three of them were taken away by Poison Spider’s men, so it only caused a momentary disturbance.
–
At night, only a few areas of An City had electricity.
The community where Yuan Ye lived had electricity, but to save energy, every house in the community had only one light.
The light in Yuan Ye’s home was in his room, so everyone crowded inside.
“What do you think the situation is here in An City now? Why are those people from the southern base also here? And the people in the city... They eat humans! F**king shit, this is insane.”
“Not only eating humans, they’re also experimenting.” Yuan Ye sat on the floor.
Huang Zheng asked, “So now An City and the southern base’s people are joining together?”
Yuan Ye shook his head. “The study Poison Spider is doing is not the same one as that the southern base is doing.”
But they were both related to that pharmaceutical company.
Hao Zi felt strange. “How do you know this?”
Yuan Ye didn’t answer.
Su Tai only knew a few clues and couldn’t analyze anything, so he said, “Take some rest first, everyone.”
“Alas... Let’s go.”
“Finally we have a spacious place to sleep tonight. I’ll sleep on the floor, don’t compete with me, Huang Zheng.”
“Shit, it’s hot sleeping on the sofa...”
Everyone left Yuan Ye’s room one after another.
After a round of noises outside, they went back to their separate places.
Ming Shu lagged behind, and just as she was leaving the room, Yuan Ye suddenly blocked at the door.
Ming Shu raised her brows. “What, Mister Yuan Ye, do you want to indecently assault a zombie? Your taste is really unique.”
Yuan Ye almost didn’t manage to hold his emotions in and just kicked her.
Calm down!
Calm down!
Keep calm! I can win this!
Yuan Ye took a deep breath. “That zombie you saw last time, do you think there’s anything wrong with it?”
“It was sick in the head.” Ming Shu responded quickly.
“...Besides that.”
“It had a casual expression and didn’t like cleanliness,” Ming Shu added while counting on two fingers.
Yuan Ye: “...” My endurance has reached a divine level.
He pulled Ming Shu back to the bed.
“Mister Yuan Ye, do you really want to do something to a zombie?”
Yuan Ye pressed her onto the bed and picked up a box from the side.
He had brought this box back with him earlier, and Ming Shu had noticed. After the meal, he had been focusing on something inside it.
He drew a document from it, opened it, and handed it to her.
Ming Shu didn’t want to read. It would be tedious.
It meant she would need to eat so as to add strength.
Eating equals to feeling sick.
She already had a tough life in this world, and now this little demon was going to torture her still.
“Read this,” Yuan Ye urged her.
Ming Shu’s eyes drifted away.
Yuan Ye’s hold tightened on the documents and the paper was slightly crinkled.
He walked over to the other side and took out a few snacks.
Ming Shu then took the documents and had a quick browse. “He was dead?”
Someone was recorded in the documents, and the recorded one was none other than the zombie with brain issues from before.
He was a member of the senior research group in the pharmaceutical company.
He died three months before Doomsday.
“It’s the sudden movement of a corpse!” Ming Shu took two bites of snacks to calm down.
“Theoretically, if the corpse is well preserved, it could also turn into a zombie when Doomsday comes,” Yuan Ye said. “But the problem is, why did they preserve his body, and why did he evolve faster than others?”
Ming Shu blinked her eyes. “But what does it have to do with me?”
Yuan Ye: “...”
Don’t you think I trust you, to talk about such things with you? Aren’t you moved?
Okay...
She isn’t.
