Chapter 98: Dead End

Ye Xuan held back the pain and went to the bathroom to wash away his tears with water.

Since the base has already sent out a notice, it means that they may also be sent out to resist the zombies, so he must be prepared at all times.

Ye Xuan put on his combat uniform, put the amulet in his pocket, and put on his boxing gloves.

He didn't believe that Xia Chenxi would die like this. As long as Xia Chenxi didn't die in front of him, he must still be alive.

Ye Xuan's mind became calmer and he sat on the sofa, waiting for the base to send them a notification.

I don’t know what decisions the higher-ups at the base are making, but they have temporarily disabled the private chat function on the bracelets. They may be worried that rumors will spread and affect combat enthusiasm.

Ye Xuan sat on the sofa and waited, like a sculpture.

At dawn, Ye Xuan's bracelet vibrated and he received a notification from the base.

[Dear members, we are very sorry to tell you this news. We are facing the most severe challenge. Due to the massive siege of zombies, a large number of our compatriots have been sacrificed. Now the entire base needs you, the entire society needs you, please be sure to do your best in the next battle. 】

Another notification popped up.

[In half an hour, all psychics please arrive at your respective venues fully armed and go to clear out the zombies under the leadership of your team leaders. Although the task is arduous, the base believes that you can do it. 】

Ye Xuan turned off the bracelet, stood up and walked to the balcony.

The sky was slightly bright, and a thin mist enveloped the entire base. The air was mixed with dampness after the rain and a faint fishy smell.

Ye Xuan stood in silence for a long time, saying to himself: Xia Chenxi, I'm leaving.

Half an hour later, Ye Xuan arrived at the venue. Luo Feng stood in front, and the team members who had arrived spontaneously lined up.

Ye Xuan stood next to Chen Cheng.

When he first arrived, he also stood next to Chen Cheng.

"Ye Xuan." Chen Cheng called him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Xuan looked at him.

Chen Cheng hesitated to speak.

"Just tell me what you have to say. I can bear it." Ye Xuan said to Chen Cheng calmly. He couldn't feel anything now, and there was only numbness in his heart.

"This is not an ordinary mission. There is no room for regret once you set out. It is a life-or-death situation."

"Then I can't be a deserter. My parents are still in the base. For them, I have to fight." Because he was afraid of dying in the battle, he didn't even dare to go to the hospital, face his parents, or tell them the bad news.

After hearing this, Chen Cheng said nothing more and turned his head back.

When the time was up, Luo Feng counted the number of people. After everyone was there, he asked the team members to get in the car. He opened the driver's door and drove the car himself.

Luo Feng spoke very little today, so little that he could be counted on one hand.

Not only did Luo Feng speak little, but the team members also kept silent. Everyone had their heads down, and were either wiping their equipment or staring blankly. Everyone knew in their hearts that this was a road of no return leading to death.

Ye Xuan looked out the car window. The sky was bright and the fog had dispersed. The car was moving steadily forward. Ye Xuan had no idea where it was going.

Suddenly, the car made a sharp turn and braked suddenly.

Ye Xuan bumped into the car window, and the team members also fell together unexpectedly.

Tong Wei covered his head and climbed up by holding the front seat.

"Brother Feng, are the zombies coming? Why did you brake suddenly?"

The team members also got up and sat back in their seats.

"Brother Feng, what's wrong? Speak up."

"Brother Feng, why are you keeping your head down and not talking? Aren't we going on a mission?"

Luo Feng said slowly: "I'm sorry, kids, I lied to you."

"What do you mean?" The team members were confused. "What did you lie to us about?"

"This so-called disaster was completely man-made. It was a scam by the base and a conspiracy by Xie Yan!" Luo Feng raised his head, his eyes terribly red because of pain and entanglement. His behavior was equivalent to betraying the base, but after saying it out loud, the anger in his heart dissipated.

These past two days he had been blaming himself all the time, imagining how he would face the children when that day came.

He didn't expect that this day would come so soon, and his conscience finally sentenced him to his teammates, his Team B.

"Listen, kids, I don't have time to explain to you, I'm telling you now, we are going to start a great escape."

"Ah, Brother Feng!"

Luo Feng started the car, and the car body twisted. The huge inertia pushed everyone in the car together. Ye Xuan was squeezed against the window and couldn't move.

After another twist, the team members returned to their correct positions, and Ye Xuan was finally able to catch his breath.

His mind is in a mess now, wondering what kind of scam or conspiracy this is. What about his parents? They are still in the hospital.

He recalled how Chen Cheng seemed hesitant to speak to him before they set off.

He realized something, grabbed Chen Cheng's hand, and asked, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

Now all the confused team members looked at Chen Cheng.

Under the gazes of many people, Chen Cheng appeared calm, "Yes, I knew it a long time ago."

"Then why didn't you tell us earlier!"

"Chen Cheng, we are team members after all, are you going to deceive us like this?"

The questions became louder and louder.

Chen Cheng sneered, "Let me tell you, if Luo Feng and I had leaked the secret at that time, you wouldn't be alive today, you would have died long ago! When Xie Yan realizes that your role is greater than the threat to him, he will do everything he can to kill you all."

"What about now?" Ye Xuan asked, "What is the situation now? Why are we fleeing? This mission is also Xie Yan's conspiracy, right?"

"What? So this mission is for us to die." The team members began to riot.

The in-car system made two clicks, and Xie Yan's voice was heard.

"Oh, yes, Ye Xuan, you are right."

Luo Feng, who was driving, changed his expression and clicked on the car system on the control panel, trying to turn off the system.

Xie Yan said lazily: "Don't waste your energy. The system terminal is controlled by me and you can't turn it off. Luo Feng, if you had obeyed me, I would have spared your life. Now it seems that you are seeking death."

"Looking for death, Xie Yan, if I hear your next move, I will also turn into a monster that is neither human nor ghost."

Luo Feng stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.

However, the car stopped the next second.

Xie Yan said in a rude tone: "I told you, the system terminal is controlled by me."

Luo Feng turned around and said hurriedly, "Get out of the car and run."

The car door was naturally locked by Xie Yan.

Ye Xuan pulled twice but couldn't open it.

"Move aside." Tong Wei shouted at Ye Xuan.

Chen Cheng pushed Ye Xuan down.

With a "bang", Tong Wei slammed the car door open.

"Run, it's too late." Xie Yan's voice was still coming from the car system.

Tong Wei punched it twice, smashing it to pieces. "The dog is barking."

The team members in the car jumped out immediately, but the facts were the same as Xie Yan said.

It was too late for them to run.

Ye Xuan saw from afar a swarm of zombies surrounding him from all directions.

They were in a dead end.
