Chapter 390, The Beginning of the Cleansing
The Dongchao base also repelled the siege of zombies. In recent days, the base's special ability team has been focusing on cleaning up the zombie corpses.
Shi Yuzhi was captured, Feng stayed at the Xiling base, and Chu Yuan's investigation came to an end.
He simply packed his luggage and prepared to return to Xiling Base.
Knowing he was leaving, Pei Xiao walked him to the city gate. "You can go to Beichen Base first." He hinted, "I heard there's been some new progress with Mr. Tu Su."
Chu Yuan waved his hand: "No, no, I'm very busy. Before returning to Xiling, I have to make a detour to pay my respects to an old friend."
"An old friend?" Knowing who he was talking about, Pei Xiao gently patted his shoulder and sighed, "Send her a bouquet of flowers for me."
"OK."
"Chu Yuan." Pei Xiao lowered his hands and said solemnly, "I'm really sorry."
For everything that happened at the Beihe base and the girl who died in vain, every time he saw Chu Yuan, or saw him staring blankly at the silver photo frame, he would feel deeply guilty.
He knew very well that it was his carelessness that killed Qi Yao.
"What are you talking about!" Chu Yuan pounded his fist on Pei Xiao's shoulder and laughed, "Didn't I tell you that this matter had nothing to do with you? You just like to take the blame on yourself."
He still smiled cheerfully, and there was no sadness on his baby face, as if he had let go of the past long ago.
"Seeing you feel so guilty, I'll bring your apology." He opened the car door and waved, "Let's go! You don't have to miss me too much!"
After closing the door, he lowered the window and looked at Pei Xiao.
"By the way, do you have any message for Brother Qi or Miss Ranran? Since we've fought side by side for over half a year, I can be your free messenger."
Pei Xiao patted the roof of the car and chuckled: "There's nothing much to say, just... thank them for everything they've done."
Regardless of whether this disaster can end, the contributions of some people deserve to be remembered by more people.
"So official." Chu Yuan muttered and started the car. "I'm really leaving this time. You're welcome to come to Xiling to have a drink with me next time."
Pei Xiao nodded: "Chu Yuan, take care."
After watching the modified car disappear where the sky met the road, Pei Xiao withdrew his gaze and turned back to the city.
"Captain Pei!" Secretary Jin appeared out of nowhere and rushed to Pei Xiao, "Good news! Good news!"
"Your leather factory went bankrupt?" Pei Xiao asked indifferently.
Secretary Jin: “…”Haha, this joke is so dull.
He patted his face and calmed himself down: "News came from Beichen Base. The experiment at the research institute has yielded results!"
Upon hearing this news, Pei Xiao changed his nonchalant attitude and asked in a deep voice, "How is it?"
"They say it's good news!" Secretary Jin's face was full of smiles. "The virus vaccine left by Professor Jiang will not have any effect on people with special abilities!"
Pei Xiao: "..."
The secretary, who was waiting for the man to cheer, frowned: "Captain Pei, what do you mean by not saying anything? Give me some reaction!"
Pei Xiao took a deep breath and asked, "In other words, the vaccine can be put into use?"
"That's nonsense!" Secretary Jin patted his arm. "Are you stupid? - I heard that the test tube at Beichen Base has been released! But it spreads slowly in the air, and we don't know when it will reach our base. It would be great if we had the test tube at our base, so we don't have to wait anxiously..."
Before he could finish his words, Pei Xiao suddenly pushed him away and ran towards the office building.
"Hey, hey, hey! Captain Pei, where are you going?" Secretary Jin ran after him and shouted, "Commander Pei asked you to go home. He has something to discuss with you! Captain Pei!"
…
The news that the reagent to control the virus was successfully developed and put into use quickly spread from Beichen to Nanjun.
Gu Yunqing hacked a stumbling zombie to death and sighed, "That zombie just walked away, leaving us with this mess to clean up. I think since that reagent can control the virus in the zombie's body, Brother Seven should give him a tube."
Su Qin laughed: "Feng Ting is a man-made experimental subject. He is different from a naturally mutated zombie. Feeding him the reagent is useless. It's a pure waste of resources."
The number of zombies in the Nanjun base is the largest among the four bases. Even with the support of a group of high-level psychics, it still took more than ten days to clear it out.
Fortunately, Feng Ting was taken away by Si Xu, otherwise they would have been exhausted to death but still unable to end this zombie siege.
The zombie corpses were burned in batches to prevent the mutation of the virus.
Luo Yuting stood in front of the pile of burning zombies, his face showing signs of fatigue.
Jiang Suxin waited at the city gate, watching the man's back from afar.
When she returned to the Nanjun base again, the second master of the Luo family secretly sent someone to find her - the reason she cooperated with the second master Luo was entirely because her special abilities were restrained and she could not use them, so she had to compromise.
Now that her supernatural powers have returned to normal, she is naturally no longer afraid of Mr. Luo's threats.
She beat up the people sent by Mr. Luo Erye, leaving them with a mess, and only threatened her to wait.
After waiting for so many days, they never bothered her again.
Jiang Suxin was fiddling with her hair out of boredom, considering whether she should go up to Luo Yuting and explain the misunderstanding between them in the past.
"What are you doing here?" Huo Lingyin stopped beside her at some point. "There's good news from Beichen Base, and everyone's celebrating. Why are you and Luo Yuting the only ones with such bitter faces, as if someone owes you millions of points?"
Huo Linyin glanced at the young man in the distance and shook his shoulders.
After cleaning up zombie corpses for several days, she now feels like vomiting when she smells the stench of zombies. It's hard for Luo Yuting to stand there for so long.
"Huo Lingyin, do you think there's a chance this world can return to its former state?" Speaking of the good news, Jiang Suxin hugged her shoulders and murmured, "The world before wasn't that great, actually."
She was hungry, cold, and dying, but no one paid any attention to her.
The man who saved her in the end abandoned her mercilessly as if she were a pawn.
What was so good about the world before?
"Only a fool like Si Xu, who grew up in a laboratory, would think that restoring the world to its original state is a good thing."
Knowing what Si Xu and Jiang Suxin had gone through, Huo Lingyin was silent for a moment before saying, "People like Si Xu never had the chance to leave the lab. I don't think he particularly cares about what the world was like in the past or what it is like now."
"I think so." Jiang Suxin expressed her confusion. "You say he's so powerful, even in the end times, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, so why is he working so hard to change the world as it is?"
Hunting zombies, promoting cooperation, researching vaccines... What is it all for? Is it worth it?
"He did." Huo Lingyin recalled what the man said when the Four-Party Alliance was first established. "He said it was because Jiang Ran liked it."
Everything he did was because Jiang Ran liked her, nothing more.
The cold-blooded Professor Si is unexpectedly a lovesick person... The two girls fell silent at the same time - although you can't rely on men in the end times and you shouldn't fantasize about love, but... after hearing such words, I still feel a little envious.
In the silence, someone came over and whispered a few words to Jiang Suxin. Jiang Suxin listened calmly and nodded: "I understand."
After the man left, Jiang Suxin looked at Huo Lingyin and said in a nonchalant tone, "Luo Rui is awake."
"Oh." What does it have to do with her?
Jiang Suxin added: "Luo Rui is crazy."
