Chapter 5757
The mission that Wen Yi mentioned progressed very quickly. On the day they entered the base, they were notified to attend a meeting regarding the operation in Donghai City.
Although Xue Ling was told that she didn't need to participate in the operation, she went anyway because it was said that General Hao, the manager of the base, wanted to meet them.
The base they are in has no name, only code-named 01, and it contains countless important secrets and research.
It is so important that even if the Beizheng base next door is attacked by a zombie tide, everything here will be moved to a safe place first.
The most important research institute in the base is managed by Wen Yi's teacher, Academician Rong Langjia, but the stationing and guarding are the responsibility of General Hao.
This veteran general is over seventy years old and has participated in many important battles in his life, but his name is not known to the general public.
He had retired before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, the military suffered heavy losses, so he stepped forward to stabilize the situation, like a stabilizing force.
It was also he who chose to establish the Beizheng Base here.
After the Beizheng base was back on track, he retreated and went to this secret base to calm down.
The old general had a weak leg and entered the conference room with the help of a cane, but he was in good spirits.
His eyebrows were thick and his eyes were bright. Even Wen Jiuze couldn't help but restrain his nonchalant attitude when he was looked at by those eyes.
General Hao carefully observed Wen Jiuze's formation, then looked at Xue Ling.
When there are two zombies present at the same time, everyone will pay more attention to Wen Jiutie.
General Hao noticed that Wen Jiuze always used his body to half-shield Xue Ling, preventing her from being completely exposed to other people's scrutiny.
He seemed relaxed, but the old general could tell at a glance that he was tense and had not relaxed for a single moment.
He didn't trust anything here, and even though their attitude was good, it didn't let down his guard.
General Hao waved for Xue Ling to come closer. Compared with the other one, she was much purer. Noticing that she was nervously holding his hand, the old general suddenly smiled again.
"Don't be nervous, Teacher Rong has told me that you are all great!"
There were not many participants in this meeting. General Hao only brought a guard and a middle-aged subordinate who looked very serious.
Following him, Wen Yi also brought in her teacher, Academician Rong Lanjia.
Everyone sat down at the simple conference table in a friendly manner, and the atmosphere did not feel like a serious meeting.
Academician Rong was holding a paint-chipped thermos cup, and Wen Yi took the initiative to pour tea for everyone.
The young guard beside General Hao quickly took over and made tea for them one by one.
When the water was in front of Xue Ling and Wen Jiuze, he seemed to think for a second whether the zombies wanted to drink tea, and then he served it to them equally.
Xue Ling looked at the steaming tea in the white porcelain cup in front of her, then looked at the green lotus on the table in front of her. She heard Academician Rong asking General Hao how his leg was doing recently.
This relaxed atmosphere was completely different from the scene of being scrutinized and examined by many people that she had imagined before she came here.
But it was very relaxing, and her stiff back began to bend quietly.
"Then let's talk about Donghai City's actions." General Hao got down to business.
"We sent two operations teams to Donghai City, but both operations failed. We were unable to break through the dangerous area in the city center, and 97 people died."
Speaking of this, General Hao held the ends of his crutches with both hands and leaned them in front of him.
"They are all my soldiers. I would be sad if any of them died, but someone has to do the mission, no matter how difficult it is. If the predecessors don't pave the way, the next generation will have no way to follow."
"Now it's all right. With the cooperation of the two special talents like you, the casualties can be greatly reduced. I won't say anything else. I sincerely thank you for being willing to stand up."
General Hao's gentle attitude comes from this.
Whether it was a zombie or not, this old man who had seen a lot of ups and downs didn't care.
As long as they can work together, they are all good comrades.
"In view of the failures of the previous two operations, this time we are planning to recruit skilled civilians to form a new special operations team to supplement our soldier team and cooperate with the mission."
"For this operation, we plan to send a total of 40 people, led by Captain Shen Zhang next to me, 30 special forces members, and 8 special non-staff personnel, to cooperate with Comrade Wen Jiuze."
…
The meeting didn't last long. It ended after the arrangements were made.
Before leaving, General Hao patted Xue Ling and Wen Jiuze on the shoulders nonchalantly and said to them:
"You still have your sanity, that's what human beings are. Stay firm as human beings. No matter how the world changes, you must maintain the bottom line as a human being. Don't give up on yourself, and look up."
"Do your job well. Once you complete your mission, I'll give you medals of honor!"
Wow, there will be a medal of honor! Xue Ling's eyes were full of stars, and she grabbed Wen Jiuze's arm and shook it excitedly.
She also wanted to complete the mission and get a medal of honor.
Mom, I’ve made it!
After General Hao left, Captain Shen Zhang came over to greet the two men and wanted to shake their hands.
After shaking hands with Wen Jiuze, he extended his hand to Xue Ling as if he were the same person.
Xue Ling: Oh, do I want one too?
She looked at her sharp black nails, then carefully extended her hand and shook his.
"We should have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. I look forward to your guidance." Captain Shen said calmly after shaking the zombie's blue hand.
The Donghai City operation was scheduled for three days later, and during this period Wen Jiuze had to go for emergency training. The training on various firearms was very quick because he had the basics.
Another most important training class was given to him by Wen Yi, who told him what valuable equipment and materials he needed to take away after entering the laboratory.
He must know how to disassemble and move them intact, know which ones are most important, and take what they need first.
Captain Shen Zhang and his men will be waiting outside. It is the most dangerous area for humans. Only Wen Jiuze will go there alone, and only he can enter that laboratory.
So he also needs to learn how to crack doors with high confidentiality factors.
Time was running out and there was no time to study in detail, so Wen Yi asked him to bring several instruction manuals with him so that he could read them if he had any questions.
Wen Jiuze held the thick instruction manual but didn't listen carefully.
Seeing him like that, Wen Yi suspected that he would accidentally damage the equipment and drag back a pile of broken machines.
She put her hand on Xue Ling's shoulder and threatened: "Xue Ling can't escape from here. You'd better complete the task carefully and don't be perfunctory."
Wen Jiuze looked at her dangerously with his dark red eyes: "Threatening me again?"
At this time Xue Ling suddenly raised his hand.
"I have a suggestion," her tablet read aloud, "Why not let Wen Jiuze stay as a hostage and send me on the mission!"
Wen Jiuze, who was about to get angry after being threatened by Wen Yi, said: "..."
Wen Yi seemed a little moved: "..."
It doesn't seem to be impossible.
Xue Ling: "I want to compete for the position, sir. I have more than three years of experience as a zombie expert. Is that an advantage?"
Wen Jiuze: You are still rolling up your sleeves and want to compare your work experience with mine?
Wen Yi: "That makes sense. Then take a look at these books. Do you remember the points I just mentioned?"
Xue Ling: "I can stay up all night to memorize it. I will study hard!"
Wen Yi: "Well, your attitude is very good, much more positive than Wen Jiuze."
If we let them continue talking, the task might have to be replaced.
Wen Jiuze interrupted the two of them: "Okay, I'll study hard."
Xue Ling felt a little regretful: "You really can't let me go?"
Wen Yi said: "Don't worry, we have many tasks to complete, not just the search mission in Donghai City."
"The mission in Donghai City this time is quite arduous. It involves a lot of heavy lifting, as well as violent cracking. You must also be proficient in the use of guns and ammunition, which are all things you cannot master in a short period of time."
"Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to go on missions in the future. Since you refuse to cooperate with the experiment, we will definitely not let you sit idle."
Wen Jiuze knocked on the table: "You guys, are you pretending that I don't exist?"
Seeing Wen Yi and Xue Ling chatting back and forth, Wen Jiu just felt that Wen Yi was hateful and Xue Ling was being sold and was still counting money for others.
When she was about to leave after class, Wen Yi remembered something: "Oh, by the way, a friendly reminder, don't infect others when you go out. If you want to deal with people, it's best to use weapons."
If Wen Jiuze could laugh, he would have sneered now: "Didn't you let Xue Ling warn me? Why do you still want to emphasize it?"
Wen Yi: "Oh, did she tell you why it can't infect humans?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Ling, who was standing behind Wen Jiuze, suddenly widened his eyes and put his hands together as if praying.
Sister, don’t mention it!
Wen Jiuze heard something was wrong with her voice and asked, "Why?"
Wen Yi looked at Xue Ling calmly, without revealing any clues, and replied:
"You are a zombie after all. It was fine before, but now that you have been assigned to the base, if you infect humans again, it will cause some standing problems. If nosy people investigate, it will be very troublesome."
Such a boring explanation that even Wen Jiuze was too lazy to listen to it any longer.
"knew."
While Wen Jiuze was studying hard, Xue Ling secretly went to find Wen Yi to express her gratitude to her.
"You don't dare tell him about your situation. Are you afraid he can't accept it? You've turned into a zombie, what else can he not accept?" Wen Yi said.
Xue Ling buried her head in her tablet. After a moment, she handed the message over. On the screen, she said, "I'm afraid that if he finds out, he'll go out and bite random people, ending up in the same situation as me, and then come back and let you study him first."
Wen Yi: “…”
Sometimes she really can't understand some couples.
Logically speaking, all emotions are driven by hormones. How can they still love each other if they have turned into zombies?
At night, as she lay in bed sleeping, she could vaguely hear Wen Jiuze next door making a fuss, just like a lively and stupid male college student.
Is this still her half-brother who is full of rebellion in the Wen family mansion and who goes against the whole world with a glare every day?
"How long has Wen Jiuze been suffering from this symptom?" Wen Yi asked.
She tried to attribute this to the virus changing Wen Jiuze's brain and causing him to become insane.
Xue Ling: “?”
"I mean, is he like this now, and was he like this before?"
Xue Ling: "He seems to have always been like this."
Sometimes it is more obvious, sometimes it is not so obvious.
"It seems that you can only cooperate with me in my research." Wen Yi said calmly, "Sister, you don't want him to know the secrets you have, do you?"
It took Xue Ling a while to realize that Wen Yi was joking with her.
She smiled, sighed, and explained sincerely: "Sister Yi, it's not that I don't want to agree. It's that if I agree, Wen Jiu will go crazy."
After returning from Wen Yi's place, Xue Ling opened the door and was startled to see Wen Jiuze standing at the door.
He was still holding the thick instruction manual given by Wen Yi in his hand, and it seemed that he had been reading it before Xue Ling came in.
He threw the book aside, walked closer to Xue Ling, and looked at her quietly from top to bottom.
Xue Ling leaned against the door, feeling a little guilty, his eyes darting around.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Wen Jiuze asked.
"What are the consequences of biting and infecting people? It's not just the problem Wen Yi mentioned, right?"
He moved closer and closer, until his chest was almost touching Xue Ling's face.
"What have you been worried about these past two days, Xue Ling?"
Being trapped between the chest and the door, Xue Ling had nowhere to escape, so he suddenly squatted down and tried to bypass the obstacle.
Wen Jiuzhe: "..."
He also squatted down, still blocking her at the door, and held her firmly with one hand: "Hurry up and tell me, don't try to get away with it."
Xue Ling was driven into a rage by him, and raised her tablet high: "If you didn't tell me about the problems you encountered, then I won't tell you this time either!"
