Chapter 168 Arrival at the Beijing Base! [35]

The others nodded in curiosity as well.

Ah Chu replied, "I got separated from you guys. There were so many zombies outside, it was too scary. I thought I'd find a place to hide, so I hid in a shop."

"Then, I encountered a zombie..."

Ah Chu's vivid storytelling captivated Maiya and the others.

"I was terrified, so I threw whatever I had on me at it, and eventually I managed to chop off its head."

"The crystal core just happened to fall out of its head."

After listening to Achu's story, Lin Xiangheng carefully recalled it.

"It seems like around that time, the zombies outside paused for a second or two before continuing their attack on us."

Yue Tingsong: "So, the one that Mianmian killed must have been the zombie that controls those zombies outside, right?"

Chen Wang: "It should be."

Lin Xiangheng clapped his hands: "That's great!"

Having witnessed the power of the zombies, the ordinary zombies outside seemed far easier to deal with.

It's nothing more than trying to distract them, just like before.

The restaurant was not far from where they were forced to park; they could see their car from the window.

Apart from a few cars with smashed windows, the other cars are still drivable.

Shen Sui and Xu Da were almost back when Shen Wang used the walkie-talkie to tell them to go ahead and lure the zombies away.

Soon, the commotion from afar attracted the zombies that were still there.

Although there are still a few dozen zombies, they are no longer a concern.

After leaving the Wind and Rain Restaurant, Chen Wang and his companions cleared out the remaining zombies as they headed towards their car.

This accident killed more than a dozen people, all of whom were the people who had temporarily formed a team at the service area yesterday.

They shouldn't have died so many times; it was their hesitation in getting off the bus that led to that tragic outcome.

Their car window was broken, but it could still be driven, so they followed behind in their dilapidated car.

The lead car was still driven by Chen Wang, with A Chu sitting in the passenger seat.

Zhang Jingzhu and Yue Tingsong were sitting in the back row.

The second car carried Lin Xiangheng and Dr. Wang, along with two members of the Shen Sui team.

The convoy moved slowly and smoothly along the road.

If there are a few zombies that haven't been lured away, Chen Wang will immediately throw out wind blades to eliminate them, not giving the zombies a chance to get close.

After walking for a while, they finally emerged from the area with the most zombies.

At the same time, support from the Beijing base also arrived.

With the support of the Beijing base, Shen Sui and Xu Da no longer needed to painstakingly attract the zombies; they could simply clear the way with firepower.

The rest of the journey was much easier.

They finally arrived at the Beijing base before nightfall.

The base in Beijing was built in the suburbs of Beijing. In less than a month, a tall and imposing city wall was erected, keeping the dangerous zombies out.

The base has three gates. Entering through the first gate only requires a simple check.

Upon entering the second gate, both people and vehicles must undergo disinfection.

Upon entering the third gate, one must first undergo a full-body check to ensure there are no wounds on the body.

If a wound is found on the body, then you must be isolated for 24 hours.

During a full body check-up, men and women need to be separated and placed in different areas.

The environment here is too serious, and the staff are expressionless.

Achu looked at Chenwang, her eyes filled with unease and fear.

Chen Wang felt a little sorry for A Chu and was about to ask the staff if he could accompany A Chu to the examination while he stood outside the room.

Just then, a clear yet excited voice rang out.

"Mianmian!"

Looking over, Shen Wang saw a young woman in a white coat walking briskly towards him.

Ah Chu, who had just been clinging to his clothes, decisively let go of him and rushed towards the young woman: "Sister!"

Su Yiyue hugged her younger sister, and the anxiety she had felt for so long finally subsided.

"Sister, I miss you so much, waaaaaah!"

Su Yiyue hugged her younger sister and patted her gently to comfort her: "It's okay, you're safe now, your older sister will protect you!"

Achu: "Mmm!"

The staff member in charge of the inspection came over and interrupted the sisters' heartfelt conversation; she clearly knew Su Yiyue as well.

He began, "Dr. Su, we need to give your sister a full physical examination to make sure she has no wounds."

Su Yiyue nodded: "Okay, can I go with her?"

Staff member: "Yes, that's fine."

Su Yiyue then pulled Achu out of her arms and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe the tears from Achu's face.

"Come on, little kitten, I'll take you to get a check-up first, and then I'll take you home."

Achu nodded obediently and was led by Su Yiyue to the other side.

Shen Wang remained standing there, watching A Chu's departing figure, his heart sinking deeper and deeper.

Although it was anticipated that once Achu returned to her sister's side, she might forget about her delusional brother.

But when the moment actually came, and when he saw Ah Chu leave without looking back, Chen Wang still found it hard to accept.

It felt as if a wild beast was about to burst out of his heart, roaring to pull Achu back and lock him tightly by his side!

Chen Wang looked at A Chu, his handsome face expressionless, but his deep eyes were filled with gloom and frost.

Just as Achu was about to follow the staff around the corner, she suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Wang.

Achu said something to Su Yiyue, let go of her hand, and then ran towards Chen Wang.

At that moment, Shen Wang felt the frost in his world melt away instantly.

It was as if a sky covered in dark clouds had been pierced by brilliant sunlight.

Shen Wang heard his own heartbeat, each beat stronger than the last.

He almost instinctively wanted to open his arms and embrace Achu, who was running towards him.

But the last vestiges of reason prevented Chen Wang from doing so.

He stood still, waiting for Achu to run up to him and stop.

Achu looked up at Chen Wang, her slightly dirty little face beaming with a bright smile.

"Brother Chenwang, and Sister Maiya, Sister Jingzhu, Brother Lin, Brother Yue, and Brother Xu, thank you for protecting and taking care of us all along the way!"

The malt and the others behind Chen Wang chuckled and said, "You're welcome!"

"Haha, it's nothing!"

"Even after you go home, Mianmian, you must come and play with us often!"

Ah Chu nodded vigorously: "Yes! I will definitely come to find you guys, but don't find me annoying then~"

"Haha! I'm sure I won't find Mianmian annoying!"

Achu looked at Chenwang again: "Brother Chenwang, I'll be going now!"

Chen Wang looked down at A Chu, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Yes, go ahead."

Achu waved to them again before turning to find Su Yiyue.

Su Yiyue stood there waiting for her younger sister, her gaze fixed on Shen Wang.

Although she is devoted to scientific research, she doesn't usually interact with people.

But this doesn't mean Su Yiyue can't understand people.

Moreover, Su Yiyue still remembered what Chen Wang looked like when she first met him.

He appears righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, but his eyes reveal the cold-bloodedness in his bones.

But the way Shen Wang looked at A Chu was anything but cold and indifferent.
