Chapter 285 Discovering the "Reservoir"

"Captain Baili."

Qiao Yu paused, turned around and looked at Baili Zhuo with a smile.

Baili Zhuo saw that although Qiao Yu was smiling, the smile did not reach his eyes, and a hint of deep thought flashed across his eyes.

"Where are Captain Qiao and Mr. Jiang going? Why do you seem so hurried? Did something happen? Do you need my help?"

Qiao Yu put on a fake smile and said, "Thank you Captain Baili for your kindness, but it's not necessary."

"We just wanted to explore the A City base while the exchange meeting was still going on. But Captain Baili is really in a good mood. Are you planning to buy some souvenirs in Taipei City?"

Baili Zhuo still had a smile on his face. "No, I was just strolling around casually."

"How about we keep each other company? Go shopping together?"

Qiao Yu smiled again and said, "Forget it. We are in a hurry to go shopping, so we won't disturb Captain Baili's leisure time."

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, without waiting for Baili Zhuo to continue replying, he hurriedly pulled Jiang Zhan away.

When Qiao Yu turned around, the smile on his face instantly disappeared and his expression darkened slightly.

No one knew what had stimulated Baili Zhuo. He felt that his words just now were a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

It's just... I always feel like there's something weird about it.

Did they offend him in some way?

Is it just because we didn’t call them when we retreated?

But they are not Chu Yi's target.

Qiao Yu felt a little puzzled, but didn't take it too seriously.

After all, what Baili Zhuo thinks of them is not important to Qiao Yu at all.

Now is not the time to worry about these things. The important thing is to seize the time to find the "reservoir".

Baili Zhuo looked at the backs of the two people who left in a hurry, and his expression darkened slightly.

The two of them didn't look like they were just here to hang out.

Baili Zhuo thought about their previous concealment of the matter of Chu Yi, and the complexity in his eyes became even more intense.

Could it be that they have discovered something again and want to implement another plan?

Baili Zhuo pondered for a while and finally decided to follow and see.

Jiang Zhan noticed the moment Baili Zhuo caught up with him. He squeezed Qiao Yu's hand and whispered, "Ayu, Baili Zhuo is following us."

Qiao Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.

ha?

What is this guy doing following them when he has nothing to do?

Jiang Zhan's eyes suddenly turned dark. "There are not many people here. Should we just finish him off?"

Qiao Yu pursed his lips and shook his head slightly. "He didn't attack us. After all, we are from the same base. Forget it. Let's just find a way to get rid of him."

Qiao Yu looked at the alley not far ahead, quickened his pace and pulled Jiang Zhan in.

Jiang Zhan also knew how to cooperate and set up a mental barrier as soon as he entered the alley.

So when Baili Zhuo followed, he found that the two had completely disappeared.

Strange. Baili Zhuo frowned.

He clearly saw the two people walking towards this side, but this was another dead end. Where could they go?

At this time, Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu had already left the alley under the coverage of the spiritual barrier and directly used their supernatural powers.

The two of them searched along the northern wall until they reached a corner in the northeast corner, where they vaguely discovered something unusual.

"It should be here." Jiang Zhan said in a low voice, looking at an extremely tiny crack on the wall in front of him.

Qiao Yu also noticed the gap. She touched her chin and said, "This door actually has an electromagnetic lock. Aren't they afraid that the magnetic field interference will prevent the door from opening?"

This steel door was perfectly hidden in the wall. There was no handle or door opening, and it was obvious that it needed a door card to open.

Jiang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since they dare to design it this way, they must have a way to deal with it."

Most survivor bases now have some equipment to prevent magnetic field interference, but they are generally used on some large equipment that must not be stopped.

This is done mainly to save energy.

But this does not mean that anti-interference equipment cannot be used in other places.

"That's right." Qiao Yu nodded. "Since we've found the door, the 'reservoir' should be not far behind here. Let's just climb over the wall."

Jiang Zhan nodded, squatted down slightly, picked up Qiao Yu horizontally, and then used the wind force to jump out from above the steel door.

Although Qiao Yu's special ability is useful, it is too easy to leave marks on the steel door.

They didn't want to cause any complications, so it was better to just use wind power.

After climbing over the steel door, the two of them saw a small path that was not very wide.

Judging from the wheel marks on the ground, large vehicles must pass by here frequently.

This is consistent with their characteristics of transporting water or "nutrients".

The two walked along the path.

There are mutant plants everywhere here, and there is only one road in front of us, so it doesn't take much effort.

After walking for about ten minutes, Jiang Zhan suddenly whispered, "It is indeed the mutant plant we saw in Dama Village. There are a lot of them."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, "About how many?"

"There are no less than two hundred plants within my detection range right now."

"Two hundred plants?" Qiao Yu widened his eyes slightly.

Isn’t this the full amount?!

"Yeah." Jiang Zhan nodded, "There are still some humans who haven't been absorbed."

really.

They are literally using humans to feed that mutant plant to produce water.

Qiao Yu didn't say anything else, but just quickened his pace.

When Qiao Yu saw that the front seemed to be getting wider, he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

There was also a slight stench of decay mixed in it.

And the further you go, the stronger the smell becomes.

Qiao Yu frowned and ran over with Jiang Zhan in one breath.

What came into view were giant red flowers all over the mountains, human corpses and torn clothing fabrics scattered all over the ground.

Some flowers have huge transparent water balls hanging on their stems.

The strong smell of blood and rot made Qiao Yu, who had experienced many battles in the apocalypse, couldn't help but cover his nose.

Just by looking at the pieces of clothing scattered all over the ground, one can tell that the survivor base in City A must have killed thousands of people in order to produce water.

There were also some fragments of mercenaries' clothes among them.

Qiao Yu's face became increasingly gloomy.

Although it was an expected scene, she still felt a little scared when she actually saw it.

Is it really worth it to kill so many of our own kind in order to support research?

The true essence of the research is to enable humans to survive better in the apocalypse and save the future of mankind.

If we harm humans because of research, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?

What is the significance of such research?
