Chapter 258, Missing
Upon hearing that his sister was leaving the base to go to Beichen for an inspection, Shen Bai took time out from the laboratory to see her off.
After getting Shen Youyou's memory chip from Shen Yang, Shen Bai immersed himself in the laboratory and rarely went out.
Chen Bai came to see Chen Yao off and gave her some instructions. However, Chen Yang, who seemed to be doing nothing in the office, did not show up.
Shen Yao glanced at the towering city walls, lowered her eyes, and gently hugged her brother.
"Be careful on the road—Ranran should be at Beichen Base now. After you reunite, remember to send a message back."
Shen Yao nodded.
Chen Bai looked at the girl next to her - the girl had a harmless baby face, a high ponytail, and was looking around.
Chen Bai called the girl's name: "Xiao Yuan—Yao Yao, I'll leave it to you."
The girl smiled heartily and patted her chest: "Don't worry, brother. Sister Yaoyao's safety is on my shoulders!"
After she finished speaking, Chen Feng, who was waiting beside her, sneered and laughed at her: "You don't even know the directions, and you're the one who's responsible for it? You're quite good at bragging."
Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes and retorted: "I know you can't go, Captain, and you feel uncomfortable. I can accept anything you say out of jealousy at the moment, hehe."
Chen Feng: “…”
"It will take at least a month to get to Beichen Base from here." Ignoring the bickering two people, Shen Bai continued to instruct Shen Yao, "If you encounter any trouble on the way, remember to turn back and protect yourself, understand?"
Chen Yao forced a smile: "I understand, second brother."
…
The convoy drove out of the Xiling base. On the city wall, Gu Yunqing put his arm around Su Qin's shoulders and whispered, "Chen Yao has left. Let's go down."
Su Qin withdrew her gaze and followed her boyfriend downstairs silently.
"Since you are so reluctant to leave her, why don't you go to Beichen with her?"
Before Chen Yao left, she asked Su Qin what she thought.
She wanted to invite Su Qin to go to Beichen Base together. It would be much easier to have someone familiar as a companion on the journey.
"We can't leave Xiling now." Su Qin said, "Seventh Brother is away, and the base is in turmoil. We can't go outside with Seventh Brother. At least we have to defend this place until he comes back."
"..." Gu Yunqing didn't expect his girlfriend to think this way. He touched the tip of his nose and smiled bitterly, "I can understand your thoughts, Aqin. If Brother Qi were here, he would definitely not want you to do this for him..."
"Besides," Su Qin added, "going to Beichen Base means I'll be separated from you for at least two months - after thinking about it, I'd better forget it."
As the two captains of the current base's special ability team, it is impossible for them to leave the base at the same time.
The girl said it casually, and Gu Yunqing paused.
Su Qin turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
The touched man sniffed and opened his arms: "Aqin, give me a hug."
The girl was stunned and scolded him: "What are you doing in broad daylight? Shameless."
But she still walked over and hugged him tightly.
…
Beneath the thick walls, where light and wind cannot reach, the pale incandescent lamp flickers, and a pair of leather shoes step on the mossy steps and walk into the dungeon.
Zhong Qian had been waiting at the door of a cell. When he saw the person coming, he immediately stopped asking questions and walked forward to report the news.
"It's a little after three in the morning. The people who came are probably psychic-type psychics... They didn't kill anyone, which means they don't have enough manpower and strength, so we don't want to alert them... We've rescued them. I've ordered a thorough search of the base. It's only a matter of time before we find their hiding place."
Shen Yang glanced at the dirty and messy cell and sneered: "I didn't expect Liu Lei to have such a trick up his sleeve."
The Liu family was exterminated, and all the supernatural beings who followed them were killed. Everyone thought that the Liu clan had been completely destroyed, but unexpectedly, someone came and rescued Liu Yao last night...
"Oh, maybe the people who came here are not from the Liu family." Shen Yang raised his eyebrows, "Continue to investigate - now that the clues have been exposed, I will not be willing to let them go like this."
…
The convoy traveled for half a month and had a smooth journey. Apart from encountering two groups of zombies, they did not encounter any other troubles.
At night, the team found a private house to stop and rest. As the only two girls in the team, Chen Yao and Xiao Yuan were not assigned night patrol duties. After cleaning up the dinner dishes, they went straight back to their rooms to rest.
"We've been walking for about ten days. Are we almost reaching Beichen City?"
Lying on the bed, Chen Yao couldn't sleep, so she picked a random topic to chat with the girl next to her.
Xiao Yuan was a night owl and didn't feel sleepy at the moment. "Not yet. At our current speed, it will take at least twenty days to walk."
"Where are we now?"
"Now?" The girl took out a map from her coat pocket and shone a flashlight on it. "We're in the suburbs of Yancheng now..."
"Yancheng?" The name sounds familiar.
"That's right."
Xiao Yuan wanted to say more when she heard a cry of surprise from outside. Soon, someone came and knocked on the door: "Xiao Yuan, Miss Chen, a group of zombies appeared two kilometers away. We need to arrange for someone to deal with it. You stay here and be careful."
"A swarm of zombies?" Xiao Yuan sat up, eager to try.
Seeing her anticipation, and knowing that this child's previous hobby was to follow their captain out to hunt zombies, Shen Yao laughed and gently pushed her: "Go if you want to."
After getting permission, Xiao Yuan jumped out of bed and ran out the door. Before leaving, she turned back and said, "I'll have someone guard the door. Sister Yaoyao, you should have a good rest. We'll be back after we've dealt with the zombie horde."
"Well, be safe."
The little girl made an OK gesture and told the team members to go out.
Chen Yao was lying on the bed, occasionally hearing the footsteps and conversations of the psychics patrolling the corridor.
She stared at the ceiling for a while, then a strong sense of sleepiness came over her. Her eyelids twitched and slowly closed.
Outside the door, someone was whispering.
"It's almost time. Take the person away and don't alert the enemy."
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?"
"Go, go, go, don't get discovered!"
“…”
…
There were not many zombies, so the special power team quickly called off their attack.
After returning to the residence, Xiaoyuan said goodnight to the team members and skipped back to the room.
Three seconds later, the girl reappeared in everyone's sight.
Her face was cold, her brows knitted together, and she asked word by word, "Where is Chen Yao?"
The room was empty and even the bed was cold, which showed that someone had left the room for some time.
The psychic guarding the door was stunned: "Isn't Miss Shen in the room?"
He walked in quickly to take a look and was surprised: "I have been guarding outside the door the whole time, but I haven't seen her come out."
After staring at the team member for a moment, Xiao Yuan tutted in annoyance and cursed: "Fuck, it's a psychic ability."
There was a psychic with supernatural powers who, with the help of supernatural power suppression, quietly abducted Chen Yao from their hands.
