Chapter 96 The Face of an Angel, the Power of a Demon

Ma Lin looked in the direction from which the sound came.

He Xiaoman stood beside him and followed Ma Lin's gaze in that direction. "That's the commercial street. I went there when I was on a business trip to H City before. I remember it was so lively back then, with people coming and going, and all kinds of shops and food stalls everywhere."

Ma Lin turned to He Xiaoman and asked, "Where do you think this music came from?"

He Xiaoman shook her head. "I don't know."

Ma Lin stroked his chin, lost in thought, and after a moment, his gaze sharpened.

"I think someone deliberately made noise to lure the zombies away from the commercial street, and it should be those people from last night. I could tell last night that they were not ordinary people."

He Xiaoman frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why are they doing this? Is it just to have more supplies in the commercial street? But it doesn't seem worth it to take such a big risk for a few supplies."

A glint flashed in Ma Lin's eyes. "It's not worth taking this risk for some supplies. I suspect it's for Dr. S. Think about it, Dr. S is a leading figure in the medical field. The technology and knowledge he possesses are priceless to everyone."

He Xiaoman's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Dr. S is here? No way."

Ma Lin's expression was serious. "Although I couldn't hear Dr. S's distress signal clearly on the radio because of the poor signal, I vaguely heard the word 'H City.' Moreover, the group of people last night acted so methodically, which clearly indicated they had a purpose. They might have come specifically for Dr. S."

He Xiaoman bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, do you mean to..."

Ma Lin's gaze was firm, and he said decisively, "Yes, we need to enter the commercial street. Dr. S is of great significance to us, and we absolutely cannot let others beat us to it."

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoman felt a surge of reluctance.

She really wanted to shout at Ma Lin that she didn't want to take any risks at all, and that what a load of rubbish doctor he was, she had no intention of saving him.

In her mind, staying safe and preserving her life was the most important thing.

Looking at Ma Lin's resolute expression, she thought about how she had finally become Ma Lin's woman, winning his affections and thus reaching the position of a lord's wife.

Many people in the base are dissatisfied with her, but now they dare not do anything to her because of Ma Lin.

If she disobeys him now, she will definitely anger him, and all her previous efforts may be in vain.

She can't let that happen.

So she forced herself to suppress her reluctance and her true thoughts.

He Xiaoman's eyes flickered slightly, and a fake expression appeared on her face. She said tactfully, "Lord, why don't we ask for other people's opinions? After all, this is no small matter, and we can't ignore other people's thoughts."

She didn't believe everyone would agree with his ideas.

Ma Lin nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his eyes, and said, "Yes, we should ask them."

After saying that, Ma Lin turned around, waved his hand, and quickly gathered his team together.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Lin cleared his throat and told his teammates his thoughts, emphasizing in detail and solemnly the importance of Dr. S to the base and even to the survival and development of all humanity.

As expected of the team carefully selected and led by Ma Lin, every member was a passionate individual. Upon hearing this, they all agreed to his decision without hesitation.

When He Xiaoman learned of this result, she was filled with resentment.

This is not what she expected.

How could these people all agree to take the risk for this so-called Dr. S?

But seeing the excited expressions on her teammates' faces, she could only force a smile and follow the team to the commercial street.

So, in addition to Qin Zhuo's group, Ma Lin's group also headed towards the commercial street with great momentum.

A dozen minutes later.

The singing that had been echoing through the commercial street gradually faded away, and the chilling roars of the zombies also grew fainter and fainter.

Qin Zhuo knew their plan had succeeded; the zombies had been lured away.

So he said, "Okay, let's get started. First, find the Happiness Cafe; the lab is right below it."

"yes."

Everyone responded in unison.

Qin Zhuo left the shop and walked into the commercial street first.

Some zombies were still wandering around the commercial street, but they were not attracted away by the singing.

However, the number of these zombies was not very large, and they were scattered sparsely.

Qin Zhuo and his group quickly got into battle mode. They worked together seamlessly and soon took care of the zombies.

Qin Zhuo warily observed the surrounding environment and directed the group to continue moving forward.

It was during this fight that some members of the team were surprised to discover that the originally cute and lovable Yuka actually had such a violent side.

Yu Xiang's face tightened, her eyes showing seriousness. She immediately used her water-based ability, instantly enveloping the zombie with water and then lowering the water temperature.

In the blink of an eye, the zombie was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiang waved her hand, and with a "bang," the ice sculpture shattered into pieces, scattering all over the ground.

Is this still the same Yu Xiang who's always smiling and often takes out candy from her pocket to share with everyone?

The team members stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

One of the rescue team members looked at Yuka with his mouth slightly agape. It took him a while to come to his senses, and he muttered to himself, "What an angelic face and a devilish strength! The contrast is just too great."

Qiao Yue, who was standing nearby, seemed to have heard something and said to the team member, "What did you say?"

The team member immediately shook his head, "It's nothing."

None of Qin Zhuo's companions were easy to deal with; each of them was quite strong.

Even the black cat that Yuka usually holds is not an ordinary black cat.

Its agile form moved like a black lightning bolt, weaving through the horde of zombies.

Each time it extends its claws, it accurately hits the zombie's vital points, slicing off a zombie's head with a single claw, as easily as slicing a watermelon.

It's even better than some of the team members; no wonder a pet can eat so well.

Such a capable pet deserves to be fed well, right?

They shouldn't have been jealous of the cat for eating better than them.

Mimi seemed to notice the looks in the eyes of some people in the group, and wagged her tail smugly.

I'm just too charming!

Suddenly, a hint of alertness flashed across Qiao Yan's cold face, and she stopped in her tracks.

Did you hear that?

As soon as the words were spoken, the crowd, who had been whispering, fell silent instantly, stopped in their tracks, and stood still, listening intently to the sounds around them.

The faint roars of zombies could be heard from a certain direction, sending chills down one's spine.
