Chapter 119: Loopholes in Heaven's Way
As the zombie horde was annihilated, the psychics in the base gathered around Ji Wanwan.
Team 1's Zhou Kai: "No trace of Bai Ze was found on the battlefield, but we cannot rule out the possibility that Bai Ze escaped."
Team 2's Xu Siming: "We've completely annihilated the zombie horde. Since everyone is exhausted, we haven't yet taken the crystal cores."
Ji Xing of Team 3: "The remaining psychics from the Bai Ze Guild have all been captured. There are 17 who surrendered, and our people are currently guarding them."
Team 4's Father Ji said, "Excluding the nine teammates who died and Xia Li, we now have 26 people left. We're organizing Wood-type psychics to treat the seriously injured members. The rest of the members have all been assembled."
After the four teams finished reporting, Ji Wanwan could not hide the pain in her eyes. After all, 9 people were sacrificed.
She took a long breath, raised her eyelids, and glanced at the mutants who had gathered at the base.
Everyone was injured to varying degrees, but the hope and relief in their eyes were like jumping sparks, dispelling the gloom and sorrow in Ji Wanwan's heart.
The dead are gone, and she wants to take these survivors with her and move towards a more distant future with hope.
After saying some words to comfort and encourage everyone, Ji Wanwan divided the personnel into two groups, one group returned to the base, and the other group followed her to clean up several branches of the Bai Ze Union.
The people returning to the base were led by Ji Dad and Xu Siming, assisted by Ji Xing, Ming Jing, and Wen Yuheng.
Father Ji is mainly responsible for the resettlement of seriously injured personnel, while Xu Siming is mainly responsible for post-war construction work and is responsible for guarding against counterattacks by escaped members of the Bai Ze Union.
Most of the people following Ji Wanwan are those whose combat capabilities are relatively intact, and the core members include Zhou Kai and Wu Xun.
The reason why she brought Wu Xun along was because Wu Xun and his brothers were more familiar with the Bai Ze Union. With their guidance, she could quickly find several branches of the Bai Ze Union.
The Bai Ze Union has a total of four branches. The previous Bath City branch had already been raided by Ji Wanwan and others, so there was no point in raiding it again.
The group went directly to the branch in charge of guns and ammunition and took away all the supplies inside. Then they went to the branch in charge of money and supplies, and the group also took away all the supplies.
Finally, Ji Wanwan and his group arrived at the underground casino branch.
Unlike the last time when she entered blindfolded, this time Ji Wanwan faced the underground casino firsthand and realized how huge this casino was.
It not only has five underground floors, but also six above-ground floors. Almost all the core information of the entire Bai Ze Union is here.
Ji Wanwan asked Zhou Kai to take people to search for supplies, while she stayed in the information room to look through the information.
Seeing these lab notebooks filled with human experiment data, as well as photos and CDs containing audio and video materials, Ji Wanwan felt a churning in her stomach, a chill down her spine, and she felt extremely nauseous.
According to the dates recorded in the experimental data, these human experiments began on the first day of the apocalypse report.
Starting on the first day...
Ji Wanwan's fingertips gently tapped the experimental record: [System, could Bai Ze also be a reborn person? ]
System: [Host, why do you ask this?]
Ji Wanwan: [If not, then how do we explain these long-established laboratories and these overly precise human experiment data?]
The system is silent.
Ji Wanwan asked again: [Also, if Bai Ze hadn't planned this for a long time, how could he have started capturing zombies and ordinary people for experiments on the first day of the apocalypse?]
Thinking about Bai Ze's abilities, which were identical to hers, Ji Wanwan's doubts deepened: "System, you know, sometimes when I see Bai Ze using his abilities, I get so lost in thought, I feel like he's just another me in this world."
System: [The host is the host, Bai Ze is Bai Ze. The host is kind-hearted, while Bai Ze is sinister and vicious. You two are completely different. How could he be another you in this world?
Don't overthink it. Bai Ze might just be a loophole in the Heavenly Dao. When the Heavenly Dao remembers it one day, it will naturally erase him.
Ji Wanwan curved her lower lip with a half-smile: [System, why do you think that this loophole is his and not mine?]
The system was silent for a moment: [You are my host, so I naturally don't want you to be this vulnerability.]
Ji Wanwan chuckled and said nothing more.
The system seemed to know something, but she had asked it questions about Bai Ze no less than ten times, and it would not give a direct answer every time.
So what is the system hiding?
Ji Wanwan didn’t know the answer. She only knew that perhaps the system she had always trusted and relied on was not that reliable.
"Boss Ji! Can you hear me?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the walkie-talkie on her waist, interrupting Ji Wanwan's thoughts.
She picked up the intercom: "What's wrong, Brother Kai?"
Zhou Kai's voice was somewhat bewildered: "There's something found on the 4th floor, why don't you come up and take a look?"
Ji Wanwan frowned and immediately moved her feet: "What's going on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was teleported to the 4th floor.
Seeing the huge group of people in front of her, Ji Wanwan was stunned for a moment and turned to look for Zhou Kai.
Zhou Kai put down the intercom and gave Ji Wanwan a helpless look: "They are all ordinary people who were captured. I guess they are going to use them for experiments."
Ji Wanwan choked up: "So many?"
A quick glance showed that there were about thirty or forty people here. Most of them were skinny, dirty and smelly. It was obvious that they had been locked up for a long time and had not had enough food or warm clothes for a long time.
Too many people means chaos. If all these people are brought back to the base, it will undoubtedly take a lot of energy to manage them. However, the base has just experienced a battle and now is the time to rebuild. Ji Wanwan does not want to waste too much energy on irrelevant people.
But these people are so innocent...
Especially, there are several young children here.
Looking at their frightened eyes, Ji Wanwan felt very uncomfortable.
Although the zombies in Liancheng have almost been wiped out, who can say for sure whether there will be some that slip through the net?
If we just leave them alone, I'm afraid most of them will die if they go out.
Ji Wanwan had a headache and looked at Zhou Kai dimly: "What do you think?"
Zhou Kai pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm... let's save them. There's a lot that needs to be done at the base right now, and they might be able to help. Even if they can't help, we still have something to eat. Even if we take a step back, we're all survivors, so we can't just stand by and watch them die. After all, the base still needs to develop in the future, and we have to leave a good reputation, right?"
It was rare for Zhou Kai to speak so long in one breath. Ji Wanwan pursed her lips and digested his words carefully before nodding: "That makes sense. Then let's do as you say and take them back to the base!"
This being agreed upon, the group took away all that could be looted and then set off back to base.
When passing by the ruins of the battle and the remains of the zombies, the rescued survivors were all scared to death. Zhou Kai and his men took a long time to comfort them before they calmed down.
When Ji Wanwan entered the base with information, supplies, and survivors, everything in front of her stopped, and the system's voice rang in her ears -
