Chapter 405

Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu settled down temporarily at the base. The next day, he took Ning Junfei and others to the mission hall to complete their identity authentication.

Ning Junfei and the others were very excited about successfully joining the Qingqiu team. Looking at the densely packed tasks on the electronic screen in the hall, they strongly demanded to start working now.

Life in the apocalypse is tough, and these people are well aware of it. Following a reliable leader is no easy feat. While they don't have any burdens, they're wary of danger. Perhaps because they've seen Cheng Hui hoarding supplies, they feel insecure without them.

Besides, supplies can be exchanged for a better standard of living. Anyway, I didn’t dare to do much work yesterday and slept well at night. I must not continue to stay idle like this today.

Cheng Hui readily chose two tasks.

Coincidentally, both tasks are completed near the city.

One task requires them to capture a mutant zombie. The map provided shows the possible locations of several mutant zombies and their approximate abilities. They can choose any one to capture.

The other one required them to go to a certain research institute to collect the precision instruments there.

Because the instrument is relatively large and difficult to transport, the reward for the task is also very generous. However, if others want to complete this task, they must at least hire a large truck.

Cheng Hui and his team saved some expenses because Lin Qingqiu's space was already sufficient, and their profits could be greater.

Moreover, there happened to be a mutant zombie lurking near the research institute, so mission one could be completed along the way.

The group set off quickly. There were eight of them in total, driving two SUVs.

This SUV, with steel plates installed at the front and rear, is very sturdy and powerful, making it perfect for a team like theirs.

Before setting off, Cheng Hui encountered a metal-type mutant in the parking lot. He spent ten kilograms of food to have him reinforce the two SUVs. Basically, unless they were caught in a zombie horde and couldn't even move, no zombies would be able to stop the two vehicles, greatly increasing their chances of survival.

The journey to the research institute was smooth. Occasionally there were a few zombies, but they were dealt with by Lin Qingqiu's light-based ability before they could get close.

I have to say that Lin Qingqiu is really talented in this area. Although his light-based abilities are more inclined towards healing, he can develop a variety of different attack skills.

Unfortunately, light-based abilities are evolved abilities after all, and belong to different branches of the same origin as the zombie virus, so there is no way to treat people who have been bitten by zombies.

Because in essence this is an evolution of the world. For the Heavenly Dao of this world, if the evolution is successful, it will not only be able to turn from virtual to real, but it will even have the opportunity to upgrade to a larger world.

If you fail, then everything is over.

That's why he took care of Cheng Hui who helped him get promoted. After all, who wants to die when they can live... Even if it is just a newly born Tiandao, it has its own consciousness of survival.

After arriving at the research institute smoothly and breaking in smoothly, and finding the instrument required for the mission, Lin Qingqiu not only took away the instrument, but also installed all the instruments visible to the naked eye.

The mission requirements state that this instrument is urgently needed, but that does not mean that the others are not needed. It is just that most of these instruments are large in size and can be easily damaged if there is any collision during transportation, so they are not included in the list.

Lin Qingqiu's space doesn't have collisions, so the items placed in his space are very safe. As long as these instruments are transported back, they will definitely be able to exchange for a lot of resources.

Furthermore, this mission was issued by a researcher at the base. Perhaps this was the urgent need for research on a zombie virus vaccine. Cheng Hui knew nothing about biology, but he was willing to contribute to the virus vaccine.

After clearing out an entire group of researchers, everyone in the Qingqiu team felt refreshed.

Ning Junfei couldn't help but mutter to himself, this spatial ability is too useful. What if Boss Qingqiu's ability is discovered? Will he be poached?

He couldn't help but talk about this with Li Qiuqiu, and then he saw Li Qiuqiu looking at him as if he was a fool: "What are you thinking? As long as we have Captain Cheng here, no matter how beautiful the world is, it will be useless."

Ning Junfei: ...

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Lin Qingqiu is a super possessive guy. Keeping him away from Captain Cheng is like asking him to die. So this is impossible!

Ning Junfei felt relieved, but for some reason, he suddenly shuddered and looked up abruptly, only to see Boss Qingqiu looking at him meaningfully...

Ning Junfei:...Oh shit, it’s over, it’s over, Boss Qingqiu is a super petty person, he wouldn’t think I’m implying something to him, right?

Li Qiuqiu looked at him sympathetically, with a look on his face that said: You're finished, you've been plotting against Boss Qingqiu and now you've been discovered, you're dead!

Ning Junfei: ...

Is it too late for me to apologize now?

Lin Qingqiu gave a kind smile: What do you think?

Ning Junfei: ...

Okay, I'll get to work now!

Ning Junfei rushed to the front of the team with a big machete in his hand. He walked past the zombie kids one by one, and the dirty blood splattered all over his head and face.

Cheng Hui looked at Lin Qingqiu in confusion: "What's wrong with Junfei? Doesn't he hate being doused in zombie blood? Why did he suddenly change his style?"

Lin Qingqiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Who knows? Maybe he wants to show it to someone?"

Cheng Hui: ???

He silently turned his head to look at Li Qiuqiu. She was the only girl in their team.

Li Qiuqiu: What does this have to do with me?

However, looking at Lin Qingqiu's calm eyes, Li Qiuqiu nodded decisively: "It's me, he is showing off to me how brave he is."

I cried inwardly: I knew it! If I offend Captain Cheng, it's no big deal; but if I offend Boss Qingqiu, I'll be punished immediately!

Cheng Hui: ...I feel like my teammates are a little weird.

Forget it, it would be great if Ning Junfei could really be a couple with Li Qiuqiu. It can be handled internally, and at least his character is guaranteed.

There is no way. In this apocalypse, it is really difficult to find a reliable man.

Cheng Hui had a vague feeling that some of his team members were already showing signs of infidelity. Firstly, everyone in the team knew each other well, and their personalities were well understood. Secondly, there were simply too few women in the apocalypse, and some jerk men liked to take advantage of the situation, so much so that women only accounted for about 10% of the people on the street.

It's so hard to even see a real woman, let alone one of marriageable age. Plus, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu are always showing off their affection, which has influenced many people. They think they're really into each other, and gender doesn't have to be so rigid...

Nothing unexpected happened along the way. They left the researcher and went to find the mutant zombie.

I don’t know if the halo of the male protagonist Tiandao is really that effective, but the unlucky zombie was staying in his own lair and was caught by Cheng Hui and others.

The mutant zombie was very devastated because he was injured.

The culprit that harmed him was a giant mutant spider.

Humans can be transformed and evolved by viruses, and the same is true for animals. However, the laws of nature in this world always favor humans, so the chances of successful animal mutation are not very high.

Although there are many mutated animals in the huge animal kingdom, they rarely attack cities. Instead, they can't stand the zombies, and a battle breaks out from time to time.

This mutant zombie was a speed-type zombie, but its speed was obviously not as fast as the one Cheng Hui encountered in the mall. Despite this, he was also very powerful, but the target he was fighting today was a mutant spider.

This mutant spider likes to spin webs everywhere. Its webs are very sticky, which is just right for restraining this mutant zombie. The mutant zombie actually doesn't want to fight this mutant spider to death, but the mutant spider has set its sights on his nest and has even come to his doorstep. If he doesn't resist, he will become a delicacy in its mouth.

He had no choice but to fight, but the result was that he killed the mutant spider with great effort, but his wounds had not healed yet, and the spider silk that wrapped him around him had not melted yet, so he was trapped at home by Cheng Hui and his team.

Seeing the miserable state of the mutant zombie, Cheng Hui couldn't help but laugh. This guy's luck was too bad... or was it just too good?

Anyway, no matter what, no one could believe how smoothly the process of capturing the mutant zombies went, so much so that on the way back, everyone still felt dazed.

Is that it?

This is too easy!

If all the tasks were the same as this one, wouldn't it be possible to complete them with my eyes closed?

Of course, everyone knows that such good things can’t happen every time, but that doesn’t stop them from daydreaming, right?

They brought back zombies and also added the corpse of a mutant spider. When Cheng Hui and his team delivered the things to the research institute, the entire institute was shocked.

So far, they have not had the opportunity to capture mutant animals, which means that Cheng Hui’s mutant spider is a scorpion poop - one of a kind!

Many gray-haired old professors came out to watch the fun. This mutant spider was as big as a car, and it was quite shocking when it was displayed.

The leaders of several scientific research project teams almost came to blows over the mutant spider. Cheng Hui's heart was pounding with fear as he watched the old professors arguing with each other, some even rolling up their sleeves to fight.

My goodness, these old professors are now national treasures. If something happens while fighting for this mutant spider, won’t he be eaten by the leaders of the base?

I’m so scared...run away quickly!

He silently tugged at Lin Qingqiu's sleeve and planned to run away first. The research institute would not run away anyway, so it was not impossible to settle the bill tomorrow.

He glanced at the team members who were still watching the fun and thought for three seconds.

I would rather die than let my friends die, so I'd better keep them to attract attention.

The two of them held hands and quietly slipped along the wall to escape.

Unexpectedly, when they turned around, they saw a white-haired old professor looking at them with a smile, as if he had been staring at them for a long time.

Cheng Hui: ...Mistake!

Wait, why does this professor look familiar to him?

Hey! Isn't this Professor Qi? He's the grandfather of the child he rescued from the mall!

"Professor Qi?" he asked tentatively.

"Oh? Little classmate, do you know me?" Professor Qi looked at Cheng Hui curiously.

Cheng Hui:...Oh, so the old man’s target was not me...Wait, was the person he was staring at just now Qingqiu?

He looked at the old professor in surprise. The old professor had kind eyes and a gentle smile, but the way he looked at Lin Qingqiu was...how to put it, very enthusiastic.

The enthusiasm is like discovering a treasure.

Cheng Hui: ...something's wrong with you!
