Chapter 227 Fatal Encounter
"But everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force everyone to join. After all, everyone has families to take care of. This hunting team is voluntary. I hope everyone thinks clearly. By joining the hunting team, your life is no longer guaranteed. You may be infected with the zombie virus and become a zombie at any time."
"Okay, come and sign up if you're willing."
Zhou Ying was the first to raise her hand. "Me, count me in. I can't stand staying in the base every day."
Song Huaijin was the second one: "I'll join. I'm alone anyway. I'm idle at the base every day. I might as well go out and kill zombies."
Lin Xi whispered, "And me."
Some people are still thinking about it, while others can't wait to sign up.
Zhou Ying wrote down the names one by one. When he finished writing them, he counted them and laughed, "What the hell, everyone has signed up, there's no point in disbanding our institute."
Everyone laughed.
Director Wang pondered for a moment, "Even if everyone signs up, not everyone can go. The base also needs the protection of people with special abilities."
"How about this, I'll make some arrangements later. I'll leave some people to protect the base, and they'll rotate every one or two months."
He pointed at Zhao Gang and said, "Don't go out. Just focus on keeping those armed men under control."
Zhao Gang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Director Wang waved his hand and said, "The meeting is adjourned."
"Everyone, take advantage of the next two days to spend time with your family. We will be leaving in two days."
"When the list of the first group of people to leave comes out, we will inform everyone."
When everyone left Director Wang's house and reached the door, Zhou Ying's mother ran over and looked around in the crowd. Zhou Ying hurried over and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
His mother pushed him away and said, "I'm not looking for you."
She suddenly saw Qi Mo, ran over, and said anxiously: "Your mother and your grandparents are arguing with someone in District 9, and your grandfather even got violent. You should go over and take a look."
Qi Mo was stunned for a moment, knowing that he must have met Qi Yunjiang. He walked forward quickly, and Lin Xi thought about it and followed him.
Zhou Ying winked at Song Huaijin, "Brother Song, let's go take a look too."
Qi Mo walked very fast, Lin Xi and the others caught up with him, and Zhou Ying's mother ran behind him, panting.
Zhou Ying turned around and said, "Mom, go back and don't follow me."
Zhou Ying's mother refused to do it, "I have to go."
"The two elders in the Qi family are quite nice. As for Bai Lan, I get along quite well with her. Besides, we are all family members of the institute. I can't bear to see them suffer."
Zhou Ying was helpless. "Okay, okay, then run slower and don't fall."
After walking for a while, Lin Xi slapped his head and took the car out. Qi Mo got in the car, Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat, Zhou Ying got his mother in as well, and they all sat in the back seat.
Zhou Ying's mother pointed in the direction from behind, "Go straight ahead and turn right at the next intersection."
There were not many people on the road and the road was very wide, so Qi Mo drove very fast.
It’s about two or three miles and it only takes a few minutes to drive there.
From a distance, he saw a lot of people gathered in front of the street. Qi Mo stopped the car, got out and walked over.
Many of the people who gathered to watch the excitement were family members of the institute's staff. It was evening, and the elderly liked to go out for a walk after dinner.
There were also some people who, judging by the brand names they were wearing, were probably wealthy people from the Ninth District.
Lin Fenfang was also in the crowd. When she saw Qi Mo, she quickly shouted, "Qi Mo, come here quickly, your mother..." She couldn't continue speaking halfway through.
The onlookers made way for Qi Mo and looked at him strangely. Qi Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then Qi Mo heard a low cry.
Lin Xi walked behind Qi Mo and passed through the crowd. She saw a scene that surprised her.
Bai Lan was lying on the ground with a bloody hole on his neck and his clothes on his chest stained with blood. His eyes were looking at the sky, motionless, and he looked like he was dead.
Lin Xi quickly took out the communicator and said, "Sister Bing, someone in District 9 is seriously injured. See if they can be saved. I'll ask Zhou Ying to pick you up."
She handed the car keys to Zhou Ying, who quickly took them and left.
Lin Xi then glanced around. Old Mrs. Qi was sitting next to Bai Lan crying, and the old man was clenching his fists and glaring at Qi Yunjiang.
Qi Yunjiang and his family were standing at the door.
Qi Yunjiang looked at Bai Lan on the ground with a complicated expression on his face.
He had been hoping for Bai Lan's death for who knows how many years. Now that Bai Lan was really dead, he did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt inexplicably heavy.
A woman stood behind Qi Yunjiang. Her hair was messy and there were several bloodstains on her face. Her hand was stretched out stiffly, and there was a patch of skin on the back of her hand that was charred, as if it had been burned.
A young man next to the woman was looking coldly at Bai Lan lying on the ground.
There was also a little boy about ten years old, holding tightly onto the corner of Qi Yunjiang's clothes.
Qi Mo stepped forward and placed his hand on Bai Lan's neck to check, but there was no pulse.
He seemed to be stunned for a moment, just staring at Bai Lan on the ground stupidly.
He just died like that?
A person who tried to commit suicide twice in a year but didn't die, and now was planning to live a good life, died quietly instead?
Lin Xi looked at Lin Fenfang and asked, "Mom, do you know what's going on?"
Lin Fenfang wiped her tears and was about to speak when Mr. Qi next to her said, "Let me tell you."
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then continued to narrate what had happened.
It turned out that after dinner, Qi Mo went to a meeting, so Bai Lan accompanied the two elders out for a walk.
There were basically no cars on the street and the road was very wide. Before I knew it, I had arrived at the Ninth District.
There are many elderly and middle-aged people walking on the road.
When passing by Qi Yunjiang's house, the old man happened to see Qi Yunjiang coming out of the house, and Yu Yan holding his arm.
The two of them seemed to be going out for a walk.
When the old man saw his son for the first time, he was surprised at first. After all, he hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't know whether his son was still alive.
Then the old man saw that his face was flushed and he became furious.
He hid in the base by himself and never thought of bringing the two elders over.
You have to know that Qi Yunjiang is their only son.
If Qi Mo hadn't taken care of them, the old couple wouldn't know if they would still be alive.
The old man and the old lady were so angry that they pointed at Qi Yunjiang and started cursing.
The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and slapped Qi Yunjiang hard several times.
The old lady couldn't help it anymore and grabbed Yu Yan's chest and cursed: "It's all because of you, woman. You've made my son abandon his family and his parents. You shameless woman, why don't you just die!"
Poor old lady Qi had never cursed or fought with anyone in her life. "Shameless woman" was the most vicious word she could think of.
She didn't hit Yu Yan, but just grabbed her clothes and questioned her.
