Chapter 226: Eliminating the Roots
Boss Shen didn't say anything for a while.
Shen Changying continued, "My brother was killed. If our Shen family just endures this in silence, what status will we have in this base in the future?"
"Can father endure being laughed at and looked down upon?"
Boss Shen did not stop him, so Shen Changying gathered his men and went to the tenth district.
The camp was still some distance away from District 10, but more than an hour had passed and there was still no response. He called Shen Changying's communicator but received no response.
This is really worrying.
Boss Shen's wife was also restless and kept looking out the window.
She suddenly lost her voice and said, "Someone is coming!"
Boss Shen asked hurriedly, "Is Changying back?"
Shen Da Lao's wife's voice trembled, "No——"
When Boss Shen walked to the window, he saw that the courtyard door, which had been closed, had been opened and a group of people walked in.
Boss Shen trembled all over and said shakily, "Changying... is gone."
His wife looked at him suddenly, "Impossible, don't talk nonsense!"
As he was speaking, there was a click of the door, and the tightly closed door opened by itself.
Boss Shen and his wife looked at the door in horror. Boss Shen adjusted his expression and looked amiable. Just as he was about to speak, a green wooden thorn pierced through his forehead, raising a puff of blood mist, and then pierced the wall with a "puff" sound.
Song Huaijin knew very well that Director Wang would definitely not be able to take action against these bigwigs.
He also realized that whatever Boss Shen was about to say was nothing more than some attempt to build relationships.
Since he was ready to wipe out the root of the problem, he would not give Boss Shen a chance to speak, lest Director Wang be bewitched.
Before Song Huaijin could retract the wooden thorn, Zhou Ying behind him waved his hand, a golden light flashed, and a line of blood appeared on the neck of Boss Shen's wife.
The two men fell down one after another without even making a sound.
Director Wang sighed, "Xu Lin, clean it up."
Xu Lin shot out two blue flames on the two people.
The flames burned silently, and within a few minutes, only two piles of white ashes remained on the ground.
Song Huaijin's vines spread out and absorbed all the white ash.
Then a water-based mutant washed away all the bloodstains in the house.
Lin Xi scanned the entire room with her spiritual sense again, and there was no one else.
She turned around and said, "Go back and eat. I'm hungry."
After returning to the tenth district, Lin Xi released all the people.
Some people were still confused, "What happened just now? I was eating and suddenly entered the space."
Director Wang comforted everyone, "It's okay, everything is resolved, go back and eat."
No one asked any more questions and went home to eat.
Lin Fenfang heated up the dishes and everyone continued to eat.
After dinner, Yu Huai looked at Lin Xi, hesitant to speak, and lingered, refusing to leave. Song Huaijin knew he had something to do, so he didn't ask any more questions and went back first.
After Lin Fenfang and Lin Yuan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Yu Huai suddenly whispered to Lin Xi: "Sister Xi, I, I actually have supernatural powers."
Lin Xi nodded, "What superpower?"
Yu Huai seemed to have made up his mind, "Yes, it's mind reading."
Lin Xi was surprised at first, then her expression became serious, "Don't tell anyone about this in the future."
No one likes having their thoughts pry into, not even Lin Xi.
Yu Huai nodded, "I know."
"I didn't want to say this, but I followed you to such a nice place, eating and drinking for free every day. I feel uneasy, and I also want to do something to help you."
"It's just that I don't know what use my abilities are."
Lin Xi patted his shoulder and said, "Your idea is good. There are many places in this base that need maintenance and work. You can slowly see what you can do."
"Even if you don't do anything, there are still many professors in Districts 6, 7, and 8. You can go and learn from them. The knowledge you gain will still be useful."
"As for your abilities, don't use them on others unless necessary."
"However, I guess that after your ability is upgraded, it will develop other functions. You can slowly explore them yourself."
Yu Huai nodded, "Okay, Sister Xi, I'll go back then. I'll feel relieved now that I've told you this."
"If there's anything you can do for me in the future, just let me know."
The next day, Lin Xi went to District 7 to visit Professor Zhao and Dean Xu.
Both old people are living well. Professor Zhao continues to do his research here, and Dean Xu reads books, plays chess and takes walks every day.
After chatting with the two old men for a long time and having dinner together, Lin Yuan returned home and told her that Director Wang had notified the people in the institute to hold a meeting.
The meeting place was at Director Wang’s home.
When Lin Xi entered, almost everyone was there. Director Wang waved at her and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Come sit here."
Lin Xi sat next to Director Wang, who coughed lightly and said, "There are a few things."
"First thing, distribute communicators to everyone."
He paused and said, "This can be considered as the last benefit before our institute is disbanded."
As soon as the words fell, the hall erupted in clamor, "Disband?! Why?"
"Yeah, aren't we still together? Why would we break up?"
"I don't agree to disband."
"I don't agree to disband!"
Director Wang raised his hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet. I'll explain the reason later."
"Zhou Ying, send the communicators to everyone first."
Zhou Ying distributed communicators to everyone.
Director Wang explained, "This is a satellite communicator. It has an extremely long standby time and two backup power boards. It has no other functions except communication."
"That's because there are still a few communication satellites in the sky that haven't been smashed down, so we can still receive signals."
"It's best for everyone to carry a communicator with them from now on."
"Two for each person, so that everyone can contact their families."
Lin Xi took the two communicators Zhou Ying gave her, and Director Wang quickly came over and said, "Let's exchange numbers."
The two of them saved the numbers, and all of a sudden everyone who had a communicator started saving each other's numbers.
Director Wang cleared his throat and continued, "Now I want to talk about the second thing, which is the reason for disbanding the Supernatural Research Institute."
"Now the state institutions have lost their functions and no one is paying us salaries."
"Of course this is not the main reason."
"The main reason is what I'm about to say."
"Life on the base is peaceful and prosperous, and I believe everyone has felt it."
"But don't forget what the world outside is like. There are still countless zombies out there, and countless people are turning into zombies every day."
"We can't hide away in a paradise and watch zombies wreak havoc on Blue Planet."
"I plan to disband the research institute and set up a hunting team. The purpose is to hunt zombies and save humanity."
"I believe that no matter how many zombies there are, there will be a day when they will all be killed. One day, we will be able to completely eliminate the zombies on the entire blue planet."
