Chapter 41 The Eighth Plot

The tone of voice was commanding, and the alarm stopped.

The punishment panel disappeared, leaving only the task panel that happened to be triggered at the same time.

A voice came from the side: "Okay."

Then, Yan Chuanbai looked at him again, "What about you?"

Time was running out, and Qi He only thought for two seconds before making a quick decision: "You go first, I won't go with you this time."

After he finished speaking, Yan Chuanbai was stunned. You Tianxing was also stunned and looked at him: Didn’t we agree that we can’t leave each other?

Qi He added: "I will come to see you later."

Yan Chuanbai looked at him for a second and said, "Okay."

Helicopters and support teams are on standby, he said, then turned and strode away.

He walked quickly, causing a gust of wind to sweep away and disappeared at the entrance of the corridor.

You Tianxing looked at Qi He. Even his genius mind couldn't comprehend the situation at this moment. "Since you're going, why don't you go together?"

Qi He didn't explain much: "I still have something to do."

After he said that, he said goodbye to You Tianxing and went downstairs.

The system emerged, also shocked: [You didn't follow Yan Chuanbai closely this time?]

"..." Qi He said gently: "Don't make me sound like a pervert."

He walked down the stairs, and the system said in his mind: [The key plot has been released, why don't you follow the logical process?]

Qi He: "Didn't you say it would be two days later? You don't have to catch up during this period."

This is the first time that the "key plot" overlaps with the main storyline.

He stared intently, and in those two seconds, he made a bold prediction: his role as a "cannon fodder", in addition to constantly adding obstacles to Yan Chuanbai along the way, must have a key point that affects the ultimate plot -

And through this trigger, he finally found it.

The system disagrees: [Besides doing the plot, what else can you do these past two days? ]

Qi He didn't answer.

——It means “these two days”.

The two days were very delicate, so he probably wasn't being overly suspicious...

In just a few steps, we were out of the research institute.

As the bright sunlight fell, Qi He changed the subject: "Let me see the script that was just released."

Oh, yes.

The system called out the script that I hadn't had time to check just now:

"City F is under siege by mutants, and Yan Chuanbai is dispatched on behalf of Base I to provide support. You've already earned a bad reputation at Base I, and now that the hidden Base III has surfaced, you're tempted..."

Since Yan Chuanbai is no longer available, can I go to another base and start a new life▇▇▇▇?

Qi He paused and couldn't help but said, "Stop."

The system paused the broadcast: [What happened? ]

“The previous problems were still tolerable.”

Qi He stared at the panel above and took a deep breath. "But with limited support personnel, how can a useless 'I' follow?"

The system seemed to freeze for a moment, then said, "...As cannon fodder, you must appear in unexpected places." It added, "So, didn't they give you two days in advance this time? You have your own methods for this."

"..." Qi He stopped and said, "Continue."

The script continues to load: "Your appearance has completely exhausted Yan Chuanbai's patience. He no longer cares about your life or death and lets you fend for yourself on the battlefield full of dangers.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. The ground above collapsed under the siege of the mutants, and the entire zombie horde fell down, surrounding you!

You looked at the zombies that surrounded you, turned around and threw Yan Chuanbai.

The story ends here.

Qi He looked at the last line of words and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The system was generous and put the script away.

After all, the most difficult prerequisite has been solved. As long as Qi He shows up on time——

This kind of plot is not difficult for him at all.

[We have plenty of time this time, so please prepare well.]

Qi He didn't say anything and walked towards the tall building.

There was a hint of scorching sunlight in his eyes, and a bit of gambler's madness:

Is it enough? He can only take a gamble.

-

In two days.

Battle reports from the front kept coming in: the headquarters sent Le Yunyu and the meat shield, Base I sent Yan Chuanbai, and Base II sent Xi Moqing.

Because City F was built underground, its previous advantages now turned into disadvantages, and mutants invaded from almost all directions.

4 S-level combat system, each guarding one side.

At the same time, the three major bases continued to dispatch additional A-level mutants via helicopters to provide support.

The news about City F was not deliberately concealed.

On the training ground of Base Ⅰ.

The helicopter flew back to the base with a "thump thump" sound from the sky. In front of the venue, Ye Yi stood with his hands behind his back, and Ji Yan was beside him.

She scanned the room and said, "Instructor Qi is not here, so we will lead everyone in training today."

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment.

In the team, Ke Yuan's face twitched, and he asked a simple question with a hint of sarcasm: "Not here? He's a super 4S level and didn't go to the front line. He stayed in the base. How come he didn't even attend the training class?"

Ye Yi glanced at him coldly: "Do you have the right to ask?"

Ke Yuan choked and stared at her again: "Why, S-level means superior? We ordinary people can't even ask questions?"

People with abilities and responsibilities are more likely to be subject to moral constraints and judgment. He used this to his advantage before the end of the world, muddying the waters to keep himself safe.

Seeing that Ye Yi didn't respond, he continued, "You little groups are just relying on your privileges to bully others. And there's also Meng Yan, who took the position of head of the research team..."

Most people are unaware of the entanglement between Meng Yan and them.

Upon hearing this, some people below exchanged puzzled glances: "Team Leader Meng is very familiar with them?"

"Yes, we are quite familiar with each other. We often see each other going in and out together."

"No way, this kind of abuse of power for personal gain..."

Ji Yan frowned and shouted, "Hey! Who dares to spread such unfounded rumors again?"

Ke Yuan curled his lips in triumph: "Anyway, he didn't say it directly, so it's all made up by others. Once so many mouths spread, I don't know how difficult it will be to prove myself..."

Suddenly, the broadcast on the sidelines beeped.

Immediately afterwards, You Tianxing's voice resounded throughout the base: "Now making a major announcement: Thanks to the unremitting research of Meng Yan's team, Base I has taken the lead in developing a drug that has a certain inhibitory effect on the zombie virus—"

"Tentatively designated as Antibody No. 1."

Wow! The entire base erupted in excitement. "Antibodies!? Wouldn't that significantly reduce the infection rate?"

"Developed by Team Leader Meng, it's amazing!"

You Tianxing's gentle voice continued: "Everyone can go to the cultivation base and register in an orderly manner to receive it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the broadcast ended.

Before everyone could excitedly rush to the cultivation base, a siren sounded again in the sky:

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Representing the base entering full protection.

It also means that the only super 4S-level combat system has left the base.

A flash of red flashed by in front of the training ground.

Ji Yan left first with his hands in his pockets, saying loudly, "Hey! I'm going to register first, you guys can do whatever you want!"

"Wait, I want to go too—"

Among the people present, there was someone who had heard Ke Yuan's "bold words" in the cafeteria a few days ago and did not forget to turn around and remind him: "By the way, some people said that the results developed by Team Leader Meng are not needed."

The people around glanced at him and said with disdain: "Oh, then you must not forget your roots!"

A group of people left in a hurry.

Only Ke Yuan and a few others were left standing there with pale faces.

-

At the same time, Qi He was already on the helicopter.

A helicopter flew past below at high speed.

He brought a few of the "No. 1 Antibodies" he had obtained immediately, and the system was stunned:

[You're waiting for this? Did you ask Meng Yan to develop antibodies before?]

Qi He stroked the box with one hand: "As a first edition, I don't know how effective it will be."

In fact, research on antibodies has never stopped.

But due to contamination and mutations caused by viral outbreaks, hybridization to increase food production, and rain from the sky, the structure of most plants has been changed.

None of the three major bases found that specific "stable structure" -

Until they brought back uncontaminated flower plants from the greenhouse;

Until the triggered alarm prompted the key plot.

"Clinical evidence shows that antibodies can enter the blood and be activated within 24 hours of infection."

Qi He pointed his fingers and said, "We need to hurry up."

The system is about to crash: [We are almost "ending" - do you still remember your plot? There are less than 2 hours left!!!]

It had thought it had plenty of time this time.

I didn’t expect Qi He to be stuck in the development of antibodies!

[Yan Chuanbai doesn't necessarily get infected... No, he's the protagonist, he definitely won't get infected. Wouldn't it be the same if we waited for him to come back and get the injection?]

The system was heartbroken: [If you don't catch up, you will be gone! ]

Qi He deciphered the text: "Then I am left with Qi|."

The system reacted and crashed: […Stop telling jokes!!!]

"Okay, okay, I have my own plans." Qi He comforted.

He is gambling on time and probability.

If the plot that triggered the alarm cannot be interfered with, then he leaves unlimited room for maneuver.

He looked ahead: "Get ready to speed up."

As soon as the words fell, boom!

The helicopter sprinted and flew to City F.

-

Below the ground of F City, there is a gap in the east.

Yan Chuanbai stood in the frosty ground.

A large amount of skylight shone through the collapsed hole in the ground ahead, and countless zombies and mutants continued to invade.

Behind him is the newly built city wall of City F.

Because they were underground, they couldn't use large amounts of firepower to provide cover, and the remaining reinforcements stayed inside the city to protect low-level psychics and ordinary people.

Boom!!!

Another piece of ground collapsed.

Yan Chuanbai's eyes were fixed on the surging tide of corpses in front of him, his face stern and murderous. The ground above his back was frozen by his supernatural power.

As soon as he arrived, he received a message from Qi He: asking him to pay attention to "the group of zombies falling from the sky."

The superpowers are being highly consumed and the attention is always tense.

There was a hint of bloodshot in Yan Chuanbai's eyes.

The communicator beeped twice, and he answered it with one hand. The adjutant's voice came from inside:

"Colonel, it's time to come back! Let's form a team and hold the fort for a while."

"Don't come out, stay inside."

Yan Chuanbai gave a mute command and hung up the call.

After saying that, he backhandedly cut off a mutant vine that broke through the ice from behind! It only took half a second to react.

A-level combat systems cannot play a big role in this kind of battlefield and can only be given away for nothing.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand.

The extreme cold blocked the mutants' attack, and the ice spikes mercilessly pierced the zombies' heads. His other hand kept firing, bullet after bullet.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His super 3S level mental strength was squeezed to the limit by him.

…

I don’t know how much time passed.

The number of mutants attacking from the collapse ahead finally decreased, and Yan Chuanbai felt a little relieved.

If it happens again, I really can’t hold on any longer.

He lowered his hand, his fingertips trembling in a rare moment. Just as he was about to call his lieutenant to bring someone out to clean up the remaining mutants, the frozen ice above him suddenly cracked.

Like a signal—

The next moment, the ground collapsed!

Yan Chuanbai's heart suddenly sank, and he dodged the falling ice and soil in an instant. His supernatural power was ultimately unable to prevent the collapse from spreading, and he was caught in a huge flurry of flying sand and rocks.

Hordes of zombies fell in front of him.

Yan Chuanbai's eyes reflected the dark tide of zombies, and he suddenly laughed: "Ha..."

Then he picked up the gun and stared forward without moving his eyes.

There is a city behind him and he cannot retreat.

The ice has covered an area of ​​several thousand meters behind him.

Yan Chuanbai stood on the ice, his mental strength was almost crumbling, but his body was straight and unshakable.

Bang! He fired again, and there was a click.

The gun chamber is empty.

Yan Chuanbai felt around and found that he had no bullets left, only a cigarette.

Knuckles hesitated for two seconds... then pulled it out.

With a click, it ignites.

A bit of red light reflected in the bottom of his dark pupils, and he raised his eyes again.

The mental power was about to boil over like a burnout. Suddenly, a series of propeller sounds came from above the collapsed area.

Yan Chuanbai's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he held his breath.

…

Above, a helicopter swooped down toward the cave-in.

The door opened and a hand grasped the boarding pole.

With his white T-shirt fluttering in the wind and his tactical straps tightly wrapped around his body, Qi He stared at the approaching collapse below.

A familiar figure stood alone in front of the surrounding zombie horde.

There are 30 seconds left on the countdown to the plot.

The system code is about to jump out: [Quick, quick, quick! ! ! ! ]

Qi He loosened his grip and jumped down——

A white figure descended upon Yan Chuanbai with a gust of wind. Plop! Qi He stood up, standing between him and the oncoming zombie horde.

Yan Chuanbai opened his eyes slightly, his heart beating wildly.

He looked at the person who appeared in front of him so close, and couldn't explain his feelings at the moment. The blood in his body seemed to surge up, as if dead ashes were revived in this instant.

"Qi..."

Before he could finish his words, a hand suddenly reached out.

With a flick of her fingertips, she took the half-smoked cigarette from his mouth.

Qi Heluo's eyes were bright and dazzling.

He stared at the panel in front of him: "...Since Yan Chuanbai is no longer available, can I go to another base and start a new life▇▇▇▇?"

He turned around and threw the zombie horde behind him.

That little spark exploded in the extreme cold.

Boom!!!!

He started a fire and blew a gap, buying time for the two to evacuate.

There are still 5s.

"You looked at the zombies that were surrounding you, then turned around and took Yan Chuanbai's hand.

Qi He looked up and called out, "Yan Chuanbai."

"What..." Before Yan Chuanbai could react, a pair of hands suddenly hugged his waist. His arms were filled, and he was stunned for a moment in front of the crowd of zombies that surrounded him.

The next moment, he was picked up and flown into the air.

Qi He looked at the zombies that surrounded him, picked him up and rushed out——

Yan Chuanbai, "..."

Yan Chuanbai, "????"

The author has something to say:

Yan Chuanbai: When I first saw him carrying the tree, I should have realized that something was wrong...

Qi He: Assault!
