Chapter 43 There's an idiot in the team

Inside the waterworks, a five-person rescue team dispatched by the seed base is carrying out a mission.

Their mission was to safely evacuate the survivors and take away the water purification equipment.

The rescue team, which was well-prepared and had a well-developed rescue plan, overlooked one crucial detail: they hadn't realized there was an idiot in the team.

This was their first mission after their team was formed, and they almost got killed by their teammates.

"Ah!!! Zombies, there are zombies here too! Hurry, I'm scared, Jinchen, protect me..."

Meng Qingyue crouched in the corner, looking frail and delicate, like a little white flower ravaged by wind and rain, her face pale and her heart pounding with fear.

If this had happened before the apocalypse, her appearance would have garnered much pity.

But now, the other four just want to curse.

Meng Qingyue shouted recklessly, disregarding the lives of others, which attracted all the surrounding zombies to attack her.

Although they all have superpowers, they have only recently awakened them and their power levels are very low. They can easily deal with a dozen or twenty people.

Now, hundreds of zombies, hearing the commotion of Meng Qingyue's death, are rushing towards this side, and they are having a great difficulty in resisting them.

Meng Qingyue was like a delicate little white flower, squatting in the corner and only shouting.

The other four formed a semi-encirclement, blocking the zombie attacks in front of Meng Qingyue while also protecting her from harm.

There was no other way; Meng Qingyue was a rare spatial ability user, and they had to take her inside the waterworks to retrieve the equipment.

According to their original plan, they intended to sneak into the factory area as quietly as possible, obtain the purification equipment, and then quietly leave to try to find out if there were any survivors there.

No one expected that Meng Qingyue was such a loudmouth.

Terrified by the zombies, they screamed and attracted all the surrounding zombies, eventually trapping them inside.

"Jinchen, Jinchen, zombies are so scary! You'll protect me, right?"

Meng Qingyue hid in the corner doing nothing but causing trouble.

Gu Jinchen activated his supernatural power, throwing out ice arrows that knocked down a group of zombies in front of him, only for another group to pounce on him immediately.

His face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he didn't want to say a word at the moment.

The other girl next to Gu Jinchen, whose superpowers were almost exhausted, took out her gun and fired rapidly.

Using firearms when surrounded by zombies is a last resort.

While a pistol can quickly eliminate the zombies in front of you, the sound of gunfire will attract more zombies, creating a vicious cycle.

But there's really no other way now, so we'll just have to stall for as long as we can.

Otherwise, they would be dead right now.

Seeing her bullets rapidly depleting, Tao Yarong could no longer tolerate the culprit and launched into a tirade of curses.

"Shut the hell up! What kind of mission are you if you're afraid of zombies following you out? You even asked Gu Jinchen to protect you? Are you blind? Didn't you see the four of us almost died trying to protect you?"

You, on the other hand, just squat in the corner and yell, yell for your mother! Do you really think you look pitiful and endearing? You'll be even more pitiful when you're dead, your face as white as a sheet.

I know your spatial abilities aren't aggressive, so why don't you just stay quiet and follow behind? Shouting like this, do you have a death wish?

If you don't want to live, don't drag us down with you; we don't want to die either.

Tao Yarong's eloquent rant secretly pleased her two teammates.

Gu Jinchen remained silent in the face of this situation; he was thoroughly annoyed by Meng Qingyue's yelling and shouting.

In the past, being gentle and weak was considered charming, but now that life and death are at stake, being a hindrance is truly foolish.

Meng Qingyue's face flushed red and then turned pale as she was scolded, her anger reaching its peak. "Do you know who my father is? How dare you talk to me like that? You won't have a good life after you get out of here!"

Also, I possess rare spatial abilities; it was clearly stated above that you can all die, but I cannot die.

After the zombie outbreak, their family didn't suffer as much as Meng Shiwan did in her previous life.

Conversely, after the zombie outbreak, Gu Jinchen awakened ice-type abilities, and Meng Qingyue awakened spatial abilities.

The first thing to do is to eliminate the servants who have turned into zombies, then close the door and hide safely.

Meng Hanyuan was the contact person who led the rescue efforts.

Afterwards, Meng Hanyuan donated a lot of supplies to the seed base and managed to get a position as the head of the logistics department within the seed base.

Primarily responsible for the allocation of base logistics resources.

He had the final say on everything from distributing food to survivors and the welfare and benefits of staff to the collection, inventory, and storage of supplies by the rescue team. It could be said that he carried a lot of weight within the seed base.

After all, he was in charge of supplies, and most people would treat him with great respect.

Tao Yarong gritted her teeth, "The higher-ups said they'd rather die than let you die, so you really intend to send us to our deaths? If we die, will you be able to walk out alive?"

Unable to argue with her, Meng Qingyue grumbled and called out to Gu Jinchen, "Jinchen, look, she's bullying me, aren't you going to say a word?"

Gu Jinchen didn't want to speak; he just wanted to curse himself for marrying such a jerk.

If it were Meng Shiwan, this definitely wouldn't have happened. She's strong-willed; even without superpowers, she could still cleave several zombies in two, and she certainly wouldn't hold anyone back.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now...

Gu Jinchen suggested, "We can't keep dragging this out like this. We have to get out, or we'll really die here."

Tao Yarong was seething with anger. "Look at your good wife! Let her stand up and walk! If she keeps acting like this, I'm not going to stay here and wait to die with her."

Gu Jinchen asked Meng Qingyue, "Can you stand up and walk? We can't stay here."

Meng Qingyue groaned, "I was so scared my legs went weak and I couldn't stand up."

Tao Yarong: ...

The other two teammates: ...

I'm so unlucky to have teammates like this.

Tao Yarong gritted her teeth and said, "Let's retreat."

If she can't stand up, then let her die here, you piece of trash.

Seeing this, the other two teammates broke through the wall and headed outwards.

If it weren't for this piece of junk, they might have almost finished their mission, instead of risking their lives here.

When Meng Qingyue saw that they had really left and were abandoning her, she became furious and stood up abruptly. "What are you doing? Do you really want me to die here?"

Tao Yarong really wanted to stab her to death with her eyes.

Can't you stand up? What were you pretending for while squatting there? Did you think you were cute like that?

She really wanted to see what was going on in this idiot's head.

Anjiewen and Leizhe, the two teammates, felt the same way. They suddenly realized that the kind of "green tea" girl that the girl was talking about was really annoying. Wasn't she obviously pretending?

Are you trying to play the victim by taking their lives?

Gu Jinchen resisted the urge to throw Meng Qingyue out to feed the zombies, and said, "Follow me."

They broke out of the factory along the wall; it wasn't far from the outside.

As long as you can get out and into a more open space, it will be easier to escape.
