Chapter 40 Recruiting Base Personnel
Hal felt an invisible gaze behind him.
He subconsciously looked in that direction and found Rayleigh huddled in the corner.
He seemed to be a little injured, and a trace of pain flashed between his brows, but when he noticed that Hal was looking at him, Rayleigh quickly lowered his trouser legs, looked at him fiercely, and gave him the middle finger.
He cursed silently: "Bastard!"
Hal turned his head away expressionlessly.
In this situation, he didn't want to bother with someone who only had brute force but no brains.
The helicopter landed on the rooftop, lowered the safety rope, and let them climb up one by one.
"Professor Li Sen, you go first."
Li Sen is the main target of their mission this time, and Edmund intends to give him the first chance.
The man nodded at him and climbed up the rope ladder.
Then, the woman who had been showing off just now squeezed in and said, "I want to go second."
The other experimenters dared not speak out and could only give in to the woman.
The woman became even more arrogant.
Seeing "Li Sen" enter the helicopter, she immediately followed.
However, the woman was weak and it took her a long time to climb into the cabin.
The rest of the people on the rooftop evacuated one after another.
However, at this moment, the baseball bat inserted into the iron gate was also knocked open by the zombies.
The team members could only retreat while shooting.
But there were too many zombies rushing to the rooftop, and they were extremely fast, and soon filled the entire rooftop like a tide.
The captain and Hal stayed behind to cover their retreat.
"Hal, take my hand."
At the critical moment, Edmund climbed up the rope ladder and, as the helicopter was shaking, grabbed Hal in time.
"good."
Hal kicked away the zombie that was grabbing his boots, used the momentum to jump, and grabbed the bottom level of the rope ladder.
The helicopter flew away from the rooftop with the two people on the rope ladder. A large number of zombies rushed up as if they were going to die due to inertia, and fell from a high altitude one by one.
Captain and Hal climbed into the helicopter exhausted before collapsing on the ground.
"You're so slow, delaying the helicopter's flight. Can't you speed up a bit?"
The woman from before started complaining again.
As the helicopter buzzed, everyone in the cabin felt extremely disgusted with the woman, but because of her identity, they couldn't say much.
At this moment, the team members noticed that their teammates seemed to be in a bad state: "Rayleigh, Rayleigh, what's wrong with you?"
Rayleigh tilted his head back, his whole body began to tremble and twitch, and blue-black spots appeared on his skin.
"He's infected, throw him out."
The woman from before started screaming again.
Edmund frowned. "Hold him down and tie him up."
After all, Rayleigh was their teammate, and Edmund was unwilling to throw him a hundred meters into the air.
He looked at Li Sen and said, "Professor Li Sen, can you give him an injection of serum?"
Li Sen turned around and said expressionlessly, "The serum is extremely valuable. It's impossible to use it on someone who has nothing to do with it."
"Yes, that's right. The serum needs to be used for experiments. Without the instrument data, it has little experimental value."
The woman hurriedly joined in.
At this moment, Rayleigh suddenly jumped up from his seat, rushed towards the woman, and bit her shoulder hard.
The woman screamed like a pig being slaughtered:
"Ahhhhhh, I've been bitten, what should I do?"
When Rayleigh pounced, everyone around the woman quickly dodged away, fearing that they would be bitten.
No one came to help her.
Edmund went over and tried to pull the two apart, but during the struggle, the helicopter began to shake violently.
The people on the helicopter were in chaos.
Rayleigh saw Hal and wanted to pounce on him and take a bite, but the fuselage happened to tilt and threw him and the woman out of the cabin door.
The two men fell from a height of a hundred meters, the helicopter regained stability, and the chaos disappeared.
The driver was terrified: "We just encountered some turbulence. Is everything okay?"
No one spoke in the cabin.
Only "Li Sen" said indifferently: "It's okay, just go. Let's go back to the camp quickly."
It seemed that the loss of an assistant had no effect on him at all.

Separated from the soldiers and free from any restrictions, Su You rested for a while after his meal and planned to continue the raid.
Although there were swarms of zombies outside, she was driving a motorcycle and was hardly surrounded by zombies thanks to her proficiency in spatial abilities.
After reaching a safe area, she put away her motorcycle and continued her daytime stockpiling spree.
She robbed almost all the supermarkets, fast food restaurants, fruit shops, dessert shops, hardware stores, gas stations, auto 4S shops, etc. along the street.
Some shops that looked relatively clean and were not open were directly cut and pasted into the trading area of the base by her using her spatial ability.
As for those shops with many zombies, Su You only looted the intactly packaged items and took them away, not the houses.
She is still a little bit of a germaphobe.
In one night, she single-handedly cleared out all the unmanned shops near the busy streets in the city center, filling up a lot of space in the base and making it feel extremely full of material things.
Thanks to the body enhancers that strengthened her body, otherwise she would not have been able to do so many things without sleeping and still have plenty of mental and physical strength.
It can be said that all the supplies in the base could not be used up by her alone in ten lifetimes.
As for the population that needed to be accommodated in the base, she didn't mind it much.
After all, humans are social animals. If she were the only one left in the apocalypse, even if she had food, drink, a safe house, and spiritual nourishment such as comics, TV, and music, she would go crazy from loneliness after a long time.
It's like in a classic zombie movie, where the protagonist lives alone with a dog for a long time in the apocalypse, only to find an antidote as a belief, but his mental state has completely changed.
Therefore, she is prepared to accept humans into the base, but those who enter the base also need to be screened by her.
Su You stood on the street in the cold night wind, looking at this bleak and desolate city.
No matter how dilapidated it is, it is still a symbol of human civilization, but after tomorrow, it will be reduced to ashes in a huge nuclear explosion.
There should still be survivors in this city. They are waiting for the dawn in fear, not knowing that what awaits them is final destruction.
Suddenly, Su You's ears moved, and he heard a faint and intermittent piano sound coming from the night wind.
She looked in the direction the music came from and her sight fell on a building not far away.
Looking at the map, it was a bakery with dark windows, and it looked like there were no survivors.
She was going to go over and take a look.
*
There were more than a dozen people hiding in the dim basement.
They were all customers of the bakery. When the owner noticed something was wrong outside, he quickly closed the door and asked them to hide in the basement.
Fortunately, there were no infected people among them, so they were able to survive when the tragedy happened outside.
Little Jenny was holding the music box. The carousel inside had just stopped. She looked at her father who had just come in from outside.
"Dad, are the monsters outside gone?"
Robert shook his head, picked up his little daughter, and said to his wife, "They are still wandering around and haven't moved on."
His wife, Alyssa, sighed. "What should we do then? The helicopter that flew over during the day announced that the city would be cleared after the third day to completely eliminate the source of the monster infection. They asked the surviving residents to leave the city."
"But there are zombies outside now, how can we get out?"
