Chapter 166 Disappearances
Ji Wanwan and others brought the mummy back to the laboratory in the central building for research and found that all the blood in the man's body had been sucked out. In addition, trace amounts of zombie virus were detected in his muscle tissue.
Xu Siming deduced that the zombie that sucked this person's blood was most likely a high-level zombie disguised as an ordinary person.
As for why this person's eyes did not turn red and there was no sign of mutation, it was because he had died completely during the process of being sucked dry before the mutation was complete.
Ji Wanwan, who studies life sciences, knows that Xu Siming's inference is not without basis.
It was precisely because of this that she felt extremely heavy-hearted.
If high-level zombies really sneak into the base, it will be troublesome. There are tens of thousands of people in the base. If they are checked one by one, it will be extremely difficult and will cause panic among the survivors.
Moreover, if there really is a high-level zombie, and it has been able to hide for so long without being discovered, it would not be so easy to find it through ordinary investigation.
Thinking of this, Ji Wanwan rubbed her eyebrows with a headache.
That night, Ji Wanwan held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the matter.
Everyone put forward their own opinions. Some people thought that more people should be dispatched to conduct large-scale inspections to minimize the risks. Others thought that a small-scale secret investigation should be conducted to try not to alarm more survivors and avoid causing panic.
Finally, after comprehensive consideration, Ji Wanwan finalized a solution.
Since the incident has spread widely within the base, it is impossible to completely avoid causing any ripples, so Ji Wanwan plans to conduct blood tests on all the survivors in the base.
On the one hand, blood test is the most intuitive and important means to express whether a person is infected with the virus. On the other hand, it is also to reassure the survivors in the base and show that the base is not doing nothing.
It’s just that every person entering the base has been under observation and has had a blood test. He was able to conceal it then, and I think it will be the same this time.
So Ji Wanwan did not pin her hopes on a blood test, but instead asked Wu Xun to bring a few reliable and tight-lipped people to secretly investigate, starting with the deceased's close relatives.
After several days of investigation, the blood test results of all the personnel in the base came out, but still nothing was found.
Just when everyone was at a loss, new people disappeared in the base.
Although the place where this person disappeared is still in an undeveloped area, the incident of the mummy was brought up again, and the entire base fell into panic.
A few days later, the third missing person appeared.
The base was plunged into an unprecedentedly tense atmosphere, and even a few timid survivors had begun to consider leaving the base and looking for a new place to live.
As the survivors of the base disappeared one after another, Ji Wanwan and others realized the seriousness of the situation.
If this matter cannot be settled, the base will probably be in chaos.
In order to calm people's hearts, Ji Wanwan held a speech in the central square outside the central building, promising to find the murderer and provide everyone with a safe living environment.
But just as he was speaking, the body of the second missing person appeared out of nowhere in the square.
“Ahhhh!”
"There's a ghost!"
“Murder!”
“Run!!”
“…”
The already frightened crowd instantly fell into chaos, everyone screamed and ran away, and a stampede was inevitable due to the pushing and shoving.
Although many people with special abilities took action, many people were still injured.
Ji Wanwan in the square looked at the chaos in front of her and listened to the wailing beside her ears. Suddenly, she felt that the world was spinning and everything was out of her control.
"Wanwan!"
Beside her, Qi Hao patted her shoulder and asked anxiously, "Wanwan?"
The world in front of her eyes returned to normal, Ji Wanwan came back to her senses and turned to look at the man beside her.
The man's face was filled with worry. The moment their eyes met, he pursed his lips, wanting to speak but unable to. "Are you tired? I'll take you back to rest, and I'll take care of this."
Ji Wanwan looked at the mummy that suddenly appeared in the square and narrowed her eyes: "No, I can't leave."
[System, immediately sense if there are any abnormal energy fluctuations here.]
There had just been a riot here, and many people with special abilities had used their special abilities to save people. The remaining energy was extremely chaotic and huge in quantity, so it was actually difficult for the system to sense it at this time.
But this is also the easiest opportunity to find the murderer, and Ji Wanwan doesn't want to miss it.
The corpse just appeared out of nowhere, so the murderer who controlled the corpse must have spatial abilities.
No matter whether he is Bai Ze or not, she must find this person!
As time goes by, the remaining energy will become less and less, so Ji Wanwan has no time to waste. Even if it is difficult, she has to let the system try.
After a while, the system responded: [Sensing the same energy system as the host, energy is dissipating towards the southeast.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Ji Wanwan disappeared from the spot.
Qi Hao, who had no idea what was going on, asked: "?"
Didn’t you say you wouldn’t leave?
Forget it. Looking at Wanwan’s expression just now, she must have been frightened. Let her go back and have a good rest. He will handle this.
Thinking it through, Qi Hao walked towards the injured survivors in the square...
On the other side, following the system's guidance, Ji Wanwan followed the energy all the way to a small alley waiting to be developed.
[The energy stopped moving forward at this point. The person should be right ahead.]
The moment Ji Wanwan landed, the system gave the latest prompt.
Looking at the winding alley in front of her, Ji Wanwan twisted her fingertips and walked in without any hesitation.
The alley is deep and winding, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Just after turning a corner, Ji Wanwan saw a fleeting figure.
She immediately teleported to catch up, but saw a familiar figure in front of her with his back to her.
And in front of him was a little girl.
Just as she was about to call for help, Ji Wanwan heard him angrily scolding: "You little girl! Why are you running into this undeveloped alley for no reason? You are so young, what if you encounter danger? Where are your family? Why don't your family care about you?"
The little girl pouted and started crying: "Wow, I ran too fast just now and lost my mother. I didn't mean to come in..."
The man sighed helplessly and softened his tone: "If I hadn't seen you, you wouldn't know where you would have gone by yourself! Where is your home for you and your family? I'll take you back."
The little girl sobbed, "Room 51, Section C, Class 4."
The man nodded and took the girl's hand: "Let's go."
As soon as he turned around, the man saw Ji Wanwan not far behind him. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in joy and surprise: "Lord? Why are you here?"
