Chapter 294 Safety First
Qiu Liren frowned, and after a while he said, "Let's retreat first. The army should be here soon."
As long as the army intervenes, it will only be a matter of time before the monsters are destroyed.
Several people went towards Jin Mohan together, with Qiu Liren walking at the end to guard against those motionless high-level zombies.
The zombies didn't react at all, as if they were just a ball of air and completely not worth fighting.
In normal times, this would have been one of the top ten miracles in human history.
Jiang Zixuan and others quickly ran towards Jin Mohan, and Qiu Liren suddenly felt a sharp gaze from behind.
He immediately turned around and saw a dark shadow on the rocks deep in the jungle.
The shadow was very blurry, and roughly speaking, it looked like a tall person sitting there, looking into the distance in their direction.
Qiu Liren was shocked and was about to go forward to find out what was going on, but the high-level zombies started moving.
As if they had received some instructions, they dragged Shan Da Gong, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, into the jungle.
Shan Da Gong thought he could escape, but unexpectedly, the guillotine of fate still fell on him.
He screamed and cried miserably, kicking his legs wildly, and calling for help in pain to Qiu Liren.
But his mouth was soon torn apart by a zombie, preventing him from making any more sound.
At the same time, all the zombies surrounding the area slowly turned around and walked towards the sitting figure.
The figure cast a blank but sharp gaze, which seemed to fall on Qiu Liren, but also seemed to have nothing to rely on, which was just Qiu Liren's illusion.
After a moment, the figure slowly stood up and led the zombies into the depths of the jungle.
In front, Jiang Zixuan turned around and shouted, "Brother, let's go, what are you still looking at?"
Qiu Liren looked back suddenly, as if he had had an unreal dream, and his heart was filled with endless heaviness and emptiness.
He opened his mouth and looked in the direction the zombies left, then caught up with Jiang Zixuan and the others.
After the restless zombie beasts suddenly calmed down, the military quickly broke into the jungle, rescued the trapped people from all over, and worked together to eliminate the monsters in the swamp.
Even with Jin Mohan around, and the armed forces' massive combat power, it still took a day and a night for the forest to return to peace.
During this period, only the monsters in the swamp would attack humans. The rest of the zombies and zombie beasts were like silenced, huddled obediently in their respective habitats.
As long as the armed forces do not provoke them, they will not cause trouble.
This is simply another unexplainable miracle. Everyone wants to know what happened, but there is no clue.
The man in the tuxedo was also found on the west side of the forest. At that time, he had been blocked by the zombie beasts and had no way to retreat. He was torn to pieces.
As the first zombie king, he cannot die as long as his core zombie crystal is not destroyed.
The armed forces collected his fragments, imprisoned them in a special cage, and transported them back to the unified base.
Qian Bao and those who betrayed the base were arrested and thrown into the interrogation room for interrogation.
There are many clues to be learned from him, and we cannot let them go easily.
After the matter was resolved, Jiang Zixuan found Jin Mohan and treated his injuries as soon as possible.
He had no major wounds on his body, only a lot of abrasions. Jiang Zixuan was worried that he would get infected, so she washed him over and over again with stream water.
"What happened yesterday? Why did those zombies suddenly attack Tuxedo?" Jiang Zixuan asked puzzledly while treating Jin Mohan's wound.
Jin Mohan said leisurely, "Zombie kings also have their own territories. If he invades someone else's sphere of influence, he will of course be cleared out in return."
Jiang Zixuan frowned, "You mean, it was the Zombie King here who ordered those zombie beasts to attack Tuxedo?"
Jin Mohan smiled mysteriously, "Who knows."
He is not the Zombie King.
After returning to the unified base, the man in the tuxedo was immediately thrown into the interrogation room for questioning.
The Unified Base is people-oriented and its methods are relatively gentle, but after asking many questions, we didn't get any useful information.
If it was Mei Yu who went there, she would be able to take revenge and skin the tuxedo guy clean.
So, Jin Mohan asked Jingchen and Lengmo to take the stage and make sure to squeeze all the information out of the tuxedo man.
The rest of the group was in Tyumen's office, listening to him talk about the results of the operation.
"More than 30 monsters have been eliminated, and the swamp pool used as a petri dish has been filled. We will increase patrols to prevent tragedies from happening again."
Qiu Ming's tone was solemn, tired and sad.
This time, Tiger King's gang joined forces with other organizations to plunder a lot of people from the base, but in the end they rescued less than one-tenth of them.
Although they were all old, weak, sick and disabled people with no fighting ability, everyone still felt uncomfortable.
In addition, the existence of the "Zombie King" in the forest has not been confirmed.
Gao Jianyi said, "According to investigations, since the end of the world, only five or six zombies have evolved into zombie kings. Aside from Li Yangjun from Jiangcheng who has already died, and the man from the Viper Base, the rest are basically under control."
But the one in the forest may be the newly born zombie king.
The Zombie King is a time mine. Although they do not hold unreasonable hatred towards humans themselves, if they are enraged, the disaster they bring to humans is immeasurable.
Now, the Unified Base must find out whether the creature hovering in the forest and able to command high-level zombies is the Zombie King.
Qiu Ming was planning to dispatch some people to investigate the forest. Qiu Liren, who had been silent for a long time, stepped forward on his own initiative.
"Commander-in-chief, please let me go."
Qiu Ming frowned, "Give me a reason?"
“I…” Qiu Liren was not good at lying, and hesitantly said, “I, I am more familiar with that forest, and I have come into contact with a creature that looks like the Zombie King, so it would be more appropriate for me to go.”
Whenever he lied, his eyes would dart around uncomfortably, causing Qiu Ming and Gao Jianyi to sigh slightly.
Qiu Liren is a good boy, but he is too frank and upright. If he is allowed to lead the Unified Base, there will be many difficulties for him to overcome in the future.
"Then you go. Remember, safety comes first." Qiu Ming said seriously.
Qiu Liren saluted and then lowered his eyes slightly.
After watching for a long time, even Jiang Zixuan noticed that something was wrong with Qiu Liren, let alone others.
No one could see through Qiu Liren's little thoughts. For many things, he had to find the answers by himself in order to get out of an unattainable relationship.
The matter in the forest has come to an end for the time being. We will have to wait for Leng Mo and Jing Chen to get information from the man in the tuxedo before making a decision.
In the afternoon, Jin Mohan accompanied Jiang Zixuan to the water tower to release water.
Bases from all over the world come here in search of water, and they will rely on this little bit of fresh water to survive in the next few months.
Jiang Zixuan jumped off the water tower and was caught in Jin Mohan's arms.
"There have been so many things going on these past two days that I haven't had time to ask you what's bothering you." Hooking her arm around Jin Mohan's neck, Jiang Zixuan tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better now? Can you tell me now?"
Jin Mohan bent down and kissed her, then said with a smile, "I'll take you to see someone."
"Who?" Jiang Zixuan thought for a moment, "In this base, the only people we know are Aunt Shan's family. Who else do you want to see?"
Professor Song Yan?
Jin Mohan pulled her out and said, "Keep it a secret for now."
As soon as the two walked out of the reservoir, they saw someone walking towards them.
