Chapter 7070
Xue Ling nodded.
Wen Jiuze's stiff face twitched, and Xue Ling thought it might be a smile, but it looked really sarcastic.
"Okay." He typed on his tablet, "Let's go then."
Where did he want to go? The remote cabin where they had lived that winter, or somewhere else?
Xue Ling couldn't guess, Wen Jiuze said he would leave tomorrow, so she decided to say goodbye to the people she knew today.
Last time she lost consciousness so suddenly that I didn't even have time to say goodbye. If I leave this time, I probably won't see her again.
When Xue Ling went to say goodbye to the soldiers in the team she knew from the past, she did not let Wen Jiuze follow her, and she went to the familiar training ground by herself.
The weather was cold, but the practice field was full of people, everyone was sweating, and the warm breath made the air in the area not so cold.
As Xue Ling got closer, she felt the hunger that had always been with her become very obvious.
She initially wanted to look for the team and leader she knew, but ended up staring at the group of people closest to her.
The group of people sat at the edge of the venue to rest, leaning against the iron fence and chatting and laughing.
For a moment, Xue Ling seemed to lose consciousness, and walked forward unconsciously, then was stopped by the iron net outside the training ground.
She suddenly came to her senses and abruptly withdrew her hand from the iron net.
She's been a zombie for a long time, and has done a good job fighting the zombie's instinctive hunger. She knows very well that she doesn't like attacking humans.
This was the first time she found herself suddenly out of control while she was sober.
It was just like when she suddenly lost control of her body before, but this kind of loss of self-control frightened her far more than losing control of her body and being unable to move.
Instead of entering the iron gate at the side, Xue Ling turned around abruptly and hurried back the same way, returning to Wen Jiuze's side.
"Are you saying goodbye so soon?" Wen Jiuze was still sitting in the chair she had sat in before she left, his posture hadn't changed.
Xue Ling walked over, opened his coat, and hid her head inside.
"What's wrong? Did they say something bad about you?"
“…”
"Didn't you find anyone you knew? Did you feel sad when you heard someone you knew died?"
“…”
Wen Jiuze grabbed her out, gave her the tablet and asked her to answer.
Xue Ling shook her head while holding the tablet. After a while, she opened her mouth, revealing her sharp teeth, and made a gesture as if she wanted to pull out a tooth.
"...Want to bite someone?" Wen Jiuze asked.
Xue Ling put his head into his coat again.
Wen Jiuze wrapped her in his coat, got up, walked to the table, opened the drawer, opened a small insulated box, and took out the injection stored at a low temperature.
Xue Ling heard the sound of unpacking, looked up, and saw that the small box was empty except for the one in Wen Jiuze's hand, there was only one bottle of liquid medicine left.
When she first woke up on Jiading Island, she had seen similar medicine packaging on the table next to her.
Wen Jiuze pressed the back of her head. Xue Ling did not feel the stinging pain of the needle, but only felt a faint coolness on the back of her neck.
Then the coolness spread all over my scalp like a spider web, and there was a feeling as if soda bubbles were exploding in my brain.
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment before she heard Wen Jiuze's words of comfort coming from the tablet: "Don't be afraid."
"It's okay. I'm with you. It's okay if you want to bite people."
Xue Ling still said a simple goodbye to everyone she knew. She held Wen Jiuze tightly with one hand, resisting the urge to bite him, and walked around in the dense crowd. She even felt a sense of powerlessness when she left.
When I finally went to say goodbye to Wen Yi, she looked a little strange: "Is it necessary to come all the way to say goodbye?"
Xue Ling: "Of course. Once we leave, we may not come back. Thank you for your help and care during this time."
Wen Yi's expression became even more strange: "Maybe he will come back?"
She glanced at Wen Jiuze and said nothing more: "Okay, I hope you have a safe journey."
When Xue Ling got on the bus the next day, she was also surprised: "Sister Yi didn't persuade us, and no one stopped us from leaving."
After all, they are enlisted, so they can leave whenever they want without any restrictions?
This puzzle was soon solved.
Because they had not been in the car for long before they got on the train, Xue Ling saw that the final stop on the sign was Jeju City.
Xue Ling: “?”
"Where are we going?"
“Jeju City.”
"To do the mission?"
"ah."
“…”
What about all the mental preparations she had made and those sincere farewells she had said before?
Xue Ling realized that she was tricked by Wen Jiuze again. He had no intention of taking her away from the base. He had already planned to go to Jeju City.
Wen Yi must have known this, which is why she had that strange reaction when she heard the farewell.
When he asked, "It's okay to leave here," Wen Jiuze really wanted to leave.
After Xue Ling tore the hem of his coat into rags, Wen Jiuze explained, "I didn't want to go before, but Jeju City sent us the latest news. Now we have a reason to go."
Jeju City is a special place. What makes it special is that it was the only city that was "cleaned" by special weapons at the beginning of the apocalypse. At that time, the entire Jeju City disappeared.
The tens of millions of zombies inside were buried along with the city.
But before people could be happy, something worse happened.
The zombies around Jeju City have undergone certain changes after being irradiated.
Their bodies became deformed, they were more infectious, had stronger vitality, were more sensitive to humans, and moved faster. At one point, more than half of the dozens of bases around Jeju City were destroyed.
As a result, the remaining human bases have been reorganized and retreated, far away from the original Jeju City.
But the mutated zombies did not stop because of their retreat, and they radiated from Jeju City to the surrounding areas.
Moreover, this batch of mutated zombies gradually began to infect animals, breaking the initial conclusion that animals would not be infected with the zombie virus.
A large number of infected animals have appeared around Jeju City. They are even more aggressive and omnipresent than zombies.
Because communications were never restored, many areas were isolated and information was not flowing.
The base in Jeju City was under blockade again, and only the northern base, which was the most informed, knew some of the inside information.
"In the past few years, the Jeju City base had not contacted the North Base. It was not until this year when the situation was really bad and the surrounding bases were about to collapse and even the most important bases were lost that they contacted the North Base to explain the situation and seek support."
"The Northern Base has long wanted to gradually regain control of bases in other regions, but it was unable to do anything before. Now is a good opportunity. Jeju City has come to us for help several times this year, and each time they have been more anxious than the last, their attitude has also improved a lot."
"The Jeju base they rebuilt last year was recently attacked by mutant zombies and mutant animals and is in a semi-destroyed state. Three of the wealthy alliances that control the base have also encountered problems. This is one of the biggest reasons why they asked for help from the northern base."
"Wen Yi revealed some inside information. Among the wealthy alliance in Jeju, there is a biological company that was established before the end of the world. It has a well-known biological research laboratory under its name. They have top human body freezing technology."
"Their latest achievement is that they thawed a person who was infected with the zombie virus at the beginning of the apocalypse but had not yet mutated. Then they used the latest vaccine developed by the Northern Base to successfully restore him."
"This lucky guy didn't turn into a zombie. Apart from being weak, nothing happened to him."
"Initially, only wealthy people infected with the zombie virus were willing to freeze themselves. After this incident, many people in the Rich Alliance were willing to freeze themselves until the best zombie vaccine was developed, or until the zombies were eliminated, and then thawed them."
"Now, they are willing to use the confidential cryogenic technology in exchange for the help of the Northern Base."
This is why Wen Guze was willing to come to Jeju City.
There is no solution to Xue Ling's current condition, but given enough time, perhaps a treatment can be found.
She could be frozen first, and then thawed a few years later when a suitable drug is developed, just like the successful case in Jeju City.
This glimmer of hope was enough for Wen Jiuze to change his decision and stay.
As one of the first supporters dispatched by the Northern Base, Wen Guze's name was designated by Jeju City.
When he arrived in Jeju City, Wen Jiuze finally understood why they were willing to share the confidential freezing technology, because their laboratory was also in the submerged zone and was now inaccessible.
The only way to get in is to break through violently, but a violent breakthrough can easily damage their experimental materials and equipment, as well as precious frozen objects. They can only choose the most peaceful way to reclaim the entire laboratory.
There are nine special zombie stories that cannot be targeted by zombies. His achievements have long been known in the northern base.
Several bases that have good relations with the Northern Base have also seconded him to help. He is the most convenient and quickest insurance option.
Before Xue Ling set out, she thought that the two zombies had left the base to wander around, and from then on, they were accompanied by the world and lived a carefree life. However, the scene suddenly changed into a scene where a large group of well-trained soldiers from the Northern Base were guarding them and drove into the Jeju City Base as if they were going to take over the territory.
Moreover, the little soldier standing behind them called them "Sir".
Xue Ling: “…”
"Ah? Do we have the final say on this team?" she asked quietly.
Wen Jiuze has experience: "Just follow me."
To follow him means to put on a dead face and not react to anything.
As for the others, there are naturally diplomatic talents in the team who will take charge of the communication.
The Jeju City Rich Alliance and the current Jeju base manager came to meet them.
The middle-aged rich man was very friendly and courteous. Xue Ling could hear the underhanded intentions in his words.
However, the clothes he was wearing were a little funny and bulging. It was said to be a zombie protective suit newly developed by the Jeju City Base.
It’s expensive, the results are rare, and zombies can’t scratch or bite it... Is this true?
Xue Ling is now really sharp in teeth and claws. She can easily cut Wen Jiuze's tough skin.
With so much hype surrounding this protective suit, she was really curious whether she could tear it.
When the middle-aged manager and the diplomat were having a verbal confrontation, Xue Ling kept staring at the zombie protective suit on the middle-aged manager.
I didn't pay attention to what they said, but I guess it was not pleasant.
Finally, the middle-aged manager even shook hands with Xue Ling and Wen Jiuze.
Wen Jiuze didn't reach out his hand, but Xue Ling did. Then her sharp fingernails scratched the sleeve of his zombie protective suit.
Xue Ling clearly saw his face suddenly change as he retracted his hand. His calm expression disappeared, and he took two steps back in shock, and finally left in a panic.
Xue Ling was still thinking, I don’t have to pay for the scratched clothes, right?
The diplomats in the team suddenly applauded her and said, "That threat just now was so powerful!"
Xue Ling: “…” What, was that a threat?
Wen Jiuze said to her: "You may say you don't want to do the mission, but you must really want to help in your heart. You cooperate so actively."
Xue Ling: “…”
