Shen Qian, an excellent employee of the Time-Space Quick Transmigration...
Chapter 141 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 25 They Can’t Come Back…
"Wanwan, there's something I can't bring myself to ask for, but I still want to ask for your help..." Xu Yingshuang spoke hesitantly. She knew that with Lin Wan's personality, she would definitely scold her after hearing the whole story, but after scolding her, she would most likely still help.
Sure enough, Lin Wan was interested. She asked, "What's the matter?"
"Look, there's a misunderstanding between me and Shen Qian. Haven't you noticed she hasn't been participating in the operation recently? I'm guessing she's still mad at me. Although your relationship with Shen Qian isn't great, we're sisters who grew up together. I want you to ask her out on my behalf so I can apologize to her in person."
Lin Wan's heart sank. "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
Xu Yingshuang's face was a little unnatural. "My superiors forbade me to speak of this, so I never dared to tell you. But... the day our Dawn Action Team was trapped by a tide of mutant animals, I saw a high-level mutant zombie talking to Shen Qian. I told those two high-level psychics about it, and that night, the military sent people to the resettlement site to look for Shen Qian..."
Lin Wan was indeed very curious as to why Shen Qian had suddenly disappeared recently. She had also gone to the resettlement site to ask, but it turned out that Shen Qian had moved out of the resettlement site for some time and no one knew where she had gone.
She even called her, but Shen Qian didn't answer.
When she heard Xu Yingshuang say this today, she immediately understood that Chen Qian's sudden departure must be related to the "little misunderstanding" that Xu Yingshuang mentioned.
Seeing Lin Wan's bad expression, Xu Yingshuang quickly explained, "That night was indeed a misunderstanding. The military didn't find anything from Shen Qian's house. There were no so-called high-level mutant zombies. But Shen Qian's whereabouts have been unknown since then. Captain Zhuo has also contacted her, but she never answered the phone. You see... I'm the only healer on the team now. You know I'm only level two now. Before I level up, I'm afraid I won't be of much use to the action team. Why don't you try to contact her? If she comes, our team will have fewer casualties."
Now Lin Wan completely understood that Xu Yingshuang was looking for her in order to find out the whereabouts of Shen Qian through her.
Xu Yingshuang is not someone who cares about the Dawn Operation Team. She is eager for quick success and is eager to please those high-level psychics from the military. She must want to find Chen Qian in order to complete the mission and take credit for it.
Lin Wan didn't know what was so special about Shen Qian that the military was targeting her, she just felt that the whole thing was weird.
Of course, she didn't reveal anything at this time, and only said perfunctorily: "She and I have been at odds since we were young, and you know that. I have hardly spoken to her since we met again. It's useless for you to look for me."
Xu Yingshuang was a little disappointed. She knew that Lin Wan was telling the truth, but if she wanted to make a name for herself, she had to seize every opportunity. "Just give it a try. Call her, call her right now. Just do me a favor, okay, Wanwan?"
Lin Wan was feeling annoyed and was about to refuse, but he accidentally noticed that the two high-level psychics who were walking very close to Xu Yingshuang were also looking over here.
Could it be that...
Lin Wan immediately changed her mind, picked up her phone and dialed.
The phone rang many times, but Shen Qian didn't answer. Lin Wan breathed a sigh of relief and handed the phone to Xu Yingshuang: "Here, I told you, she doesn't pay attention to me."
Although she had been mentally prepared before, Xu Yingshuang was still very disappointed. She didn't expect Chen Qian to be so disrespectful to Lin Wan that he didn't even answer the phone.
She hated him so much that her teeth itched, but she had to continue acting: "Wanwan, can you call more often later? I really want to contact her. It's the end of the world, and it's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. I don't want to keep carrying this misunderstanding with her."
Lin Wan: “…”
The acting was so bad that she wanted to vomit, but she had no choice but to agree.
Now all we can do is to keep her steady.
After Xu Yingshuang walked away, the two high-level psychics who had been looking at this side stopped staring at her. Lin Wan was thinking in her heart, why did Xu Yingshuang ask her to contact Shen Qian today?
By the way, the so-called misunderstanding she mentioned on the day of the last operation was actually seeing a high-level zombie in contact with Shen Qian?
How is that possible!
Lin Wan's first reaction was to think that Xu Yingshuang was taking revenge for personal reasons and was making up stories.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not right. Even if Xu Yingshuang dislikes Shen Qian, she would not make up such a poor excuse and bring people to the resettlement site to cause trouble for Shen Qian.
Then there is only one possibility, Shen Qian is really related to the high-level zombies...
Lin Wan couldn't figure out the cause and effect of this matter, and she really wanted to find Shen Qian to ask what was going on, but she also knew that her relationship with Shen Qian was not very good. Even if Shen Qian really encountered something, she would not take the initiative to tell her stepsister.
Lin Wan could only hide this worry in her heart.
After the operation ended that day, Lin Wan just got in the car and found that there was a missed call on his phone. It was Shen Qian who called back!
Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended nothing had happened and put her phone back into her bag.
After the action team's car drove back to the survival base, Lin Wan found a deserted place and called Shen Qian.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Qian's cold voice sounded.
Lin Wan covered the microphone with her hand and said quickly in a low voice, "Chen Qian, Xu Yingshuang is looking for you. I think there's something wrong with her. She's talking through me today, and maybe someone else tomorrow. Don't show up recently. Take care of yourself and your son. Hide them both and don't let anyone find you. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Take care."
Chen Qian was still farming with her children at this time. She hadn't answered anyone's calls during this period. When she saw Lin Wan's call today, she didn't answer it. In fact, she was a little curious about what Lin Wan wanted to talk to her about.
So after a while, she decided to call Lin Wan back, but the other party didn't answer.
Just when Shen Qian put the matter behind him, Lin Wan called back.
Shen Qian didn't expect that the other party called her and asked her about this matter, and then hung up quickly after saying it.
In fact, Shen Qian also knew that Xu Yingshuang was already involved with the Zero Institute. Once the other party found out that she had run away, they would definitely find ways to find her.
She originally thought that the research institute had found Lin Wan as a lobbyist to lure her out, but unexpectedly, Lin Wan advised her to hide herself and her son.
Shen Qian couldn't help but smile. It seemed that her stepsister was better than she had imagined.
To be honest, there is no deep hatred between the two sisters. It is just a small friction during the process of growing up.
Two days after this phone call, Shen Qian also received a message from He Ruibei: [My health has been good recently and I don't need any more treatment for the time being. Someone recently came to the resettlement center to inquire about you. Please take care!]
When Shen Qian saw the news, he understood that in addition to looking for Lin Wan, the people from the Zero Point Research Institute also looked for the He brothers.
The virus in He Ruibei's body has indeed been under good control recently, and Chen Qian has reserved enough Jingteng for him, so he didn't think much about it.
But what happened next was a bit weird.
A wave of mutant animals suddenly broke out in S City, and a large number of mutant birds and beasts swept through the already devastated city.
People can only hide indoors with doors and windows closed to survive.
However, the major action teams carrying out missions outside were not so lucky. The members of the Dawn Action Team suffered heavy losses in this animal tide. Many members were killed on the spot in the attacks of high-level mutant animals, and many of those who survived were seriously injured.
Lin Wan was hiding in an abandoned building at the time and accidentally avoided the crisis, but witnessed an even more terrifying scene.
After the animal tide receded, a group of armed men disguised themselves as rescuers, carried the seriously injured and infected people into cars and drove away.
Lin Wan hid in the dark and heard it clearly. One of them asked the other: "Are these people enough?"
The man replied, "Of course it's not enough, but it's enough for today. I'll transport it back first, and then come back to load it. I'll have to make two more trips to make it enough for this experiment."
The man at the beginning sighed: "What a beast, they need so many people for one experiment."
Lin Wan was frightened when he heard this and wanted to chase after the car, but it disappeared in front of him.
The people in the car were all injured psychics nearby, and many of them were members of the Dawn Action Team!
The matter was urgent, so she immediately found Zhuo Lin and told him what she had heard.
Zhuo Lin was extremely anxious after hearing this. He had just received news that other action teams also had reports of wounded and missing persons, and the higher-ups were still investigating the matter. He had never expected that his own Shuguang Action Team was involved in this bizarre incident.
He immediately ordered someone to check the list of missing wounded soldiers.
The deputy captain quickly counted the missing persons.
"Captain Zhuo, we have five missing wounded soldiers: Miao Lei, Dai Xiang, Lu Wei, Huang Qiyuan, and He Ruize..."
"What, there's also He Ruize?" Zhuo Lin asked.
"Yes, he hasn't participated in operations for a while, and he just recently resumed his mission. I didn't expect..."
Lin Wan had been waiting by the side, hoping for a result. She was in a very heavy mood at the moment. She had not expected that she had only seen them carrying away the last wounded person, while five members of the entire Dawn Action Team were missing!
Deputy Captain Wen Jie's voice gradually became softer. The three people present were silent, feeling very heavy-hearted. Everyone understood that they were already injured, and those were bites from mutant animals. If they were not treated in time, they would not survive. If they were taken away, they would probably not survive the day.
Lin Wan said anxiously, "Captain Zhuo, you can't just ignore it. If we bring him back, there should still be a way to save him!"
Wen Jie whispered, "Captain Zhuo, I suspect that the people who took them away are related to the Zero Point Research Institute. There were rumors before that the two high-level psychics in our team..."
"Alright! Stop talking!" Zhuo Lin interrupted and said to Lin Wan and Wen Jie, "Leave today's matters to me. Just pretend you know nothing. Understand?"
After saying that, Zhuo Lin quickly called someone to confirm the news. Although the hope was slim, he still hoped to find his teammates through the network of relationships he had built up during his time in S City.
"Lao Zhuo, I asked for you, and there is no one found in Xicheng District."
"Captain Zhuo, there are also several teams in the east that have lost wounded soldiers. We are still inquiring, but there is no news yet."
"The surveillance cameras on the road were destroyed a long time ago, and there is no news on this matter yet."
"Zhuo Lin, I'm sure it wasn't done by the military. I've also asked the medical system, but they haven't received any news of rescuing the wounded. There are also many wounded in the survival base. We're all too busy here, so how could we possibly send people out to rescue them..."
An hour later, Zhuo Lin had tried every possible method and he staggered back to his residence with a heavy heart. He thought those team members would probably never be found again!
