Mission in Progress 03
The blood left a very obvious mark on the ground. Jiang Lin followed the mark and successfully found Sheng Wei in a cave.
"Sheng Wei!" There was a slight tremor in her voice that she didn't even notice.
Jiang Lin reached out his hand to check her breath and found she was still breathing.
Wen Yan had a lot of equipment on him. He fumbled out anti-inflammatory drugs and physical strength drugs from his backpack and poured them into Sheng Wei's mouth. By the way, he handed the gauze and wound medicine to Jiang Lin and asked her to treat Sheng Wei's wound.
Sheng Wei must have grabbed a protruding rock while falling to cushion the impact, which is why he survived.
Jiang Lin carefully sprinkled medicine on her bloody palm and wrapped it with white gauze.
Not sure if she had any broken bones, Jiang Lin didn't dare to move her rashly.
Fortunately, under the stimulation of pain, Sheng Wei slowly opened his eyes: "Zhang Tian, Zhang Tian was sent by him to kill us."
Sheng Wei said this intermittently.
"I know if you have any broken bones." Jiang Lin had already bandaged the obvious external injuries on Sheng Wei's body.
Sheng Wei tried to move his limbs: "Probably not, I grabbed the rock and didn't fall too badly." After saying that, Sheng Wei smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he was still careless.
"Come up." Jiang Lin squatted down and motioned Sheng Wei to lie on her back.
After making sure Sheng Wei was lying down, Jiang Lin slowly stood up and carried Sheng Wei on his back.
"Now, no matter how many eggs I have, I won't be able to pay it back." Sheng Wei was still in the mood to joke, but was glared at by Jiang Lin.
"How about I carry it?" Wen Yan took off his backpack and wanted to exchange it with Jiang Lin.
"No, I'll do it myself. She doesn't trust strangers now." Jiang Lin's eyes were vigilant.
Wen Yan understood her caution, so he didn't force her and just lent a hand.
When we found the rest of the people, it was already getting dark, and we were forced to rest for the night at the foot of a barren mountain.
The atmosphere in the entire team was very strange. When Zhang Tian saw Jiang Lin carrying Sheng Wei back, he knew that he was finished.
"I can tell you who is behind this and instructing me not to kill me, not to kill me."
Jiang Lin put Sheng Wei in a sheltered place and did not directly answer Zhang Tian's question.
"Please, don't kill me." Zhang Tian was now completely humiliated, with tears and snot all over his face.
"I can tell you that the person behind us is Chen Guanghai." Chen Siwei, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Lin looked at him in surprise.
"Chen Guanghai wanted me to kill you and Sheng Wei. No, everyone. It was only because Wen Yan suddenly showed up that we changed our plan. We were originally going to blow up the entire car."
"It's a pity that he didn't trust me and even sent someone to monitor me."
"That person is Zhang Tian."
In the darkness, Chen Siwei's teeth were chattering. He was gambling that Jiang Lin would give him a chance to live because he had confessed voluntarily.
What Zhang Tian said to him in private made Chen Siwei realize that Chen Guanghai might not have wanted him to go back alive from the beginning.
After all, only the dead can keep secrets.
"Chen Siwei, you are crazy. What good will this do you?" Zhang Tian looked at him in disbelief.
Chen Siwei ignored him and stared at Jiang Lin from under his helmet.
Wen Yan took a few steps forward and stood between Jiang Lin and Chen Siwei. "How do you want to handle this?"
"Look at you. Don't you want to catch the person stirring up trouble behind the scenes?"
"Now is a good opportunity."
Wen Yan looked at her helplessly: "I'm not stupid, Jiang Lin. The person who harmed you behind the scenes is the one I'm looking for. In this case, they are no longer of any use to me."
"It's up to you."
Hearing Wen Yan's words, Zhang Tian still knelt on the ground, moving his knees towards Jiang Lin: "I know something else, don't kill me."
"Then can you be my knife and help me kill Chen Guanghai?" Jiang Lin's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.
"What's the difference between this and letting me die directly!" Zhang Tian was a little angry.
"Jiang Lin, so what if you are very powerful? From the moment you left the base, this has been a dead end. Just wait, hahahahaha." Zhang Tian laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, and he looked a little crazy.
"I'm sorry." The ice spike emitting a cold light appeared silently behind Zhang Tian and pierced his skin in an instant.
Zhang Tian opened his eyes wide in disbelief and collapsed after a while.
The surroundings were silent for a few seconds, and Jiang Lin could only hear the sound of the evening breeze.
"Let me come next time. I'm willing to be your knife." Wen Yan's voice rang out in the silent night.
The rest of the people looked even more terrified. What was going on?
Jiang Lin frowned and did not answer. What kind of person is this Wen Yan? Why is he so weird?
Chen Siwei swallowed his saliva and his voice trembled: "I, I didn't mean to do it. Chen Guanghai kidnapped my parents. I couldn't do anything about it."
"I am willing to be your undercover agent and infiltrate Chen Guanghai's area after returning."
"How confident are you that you can succeed?" Jiang Lin was a little surprised to hear this.
"I'll do my best."
"If you betray me, I will kill you immediately."
After hearing this, Chen Siwei knew that he had survived for the time being. He felt a little weak and fell directly to the ground.
The remaining team members who were watching were already numb. They were just on a mission and were almost killed inexplicably.
What should I do? I’m so angry, but I can’t beat Chen Guanghai.
Because Chen Siwei exposed the original plan, the team members who had originally had some complaints about Jiang Lin and the others now hated Chen Guanghai the most.
The farce was over. Wen Yan dragged Zhang Tian's body to a secluded place and buried it. He was afraid that the smell of blood would attract zombies. When going out, the most important thing is to be cautious.
When Wen Yan came back, everyone was almost resting and there was a faint snoring sound.
Jiang Lin hadn't slept yet. Zhang Tian's words made her a little confused, as if she was walking on a road leading to the abyss. She wondered how much Chen Guanghai had concealed about this mission.
"Still asleep?"
"What I said is true. I am willing to be your knife." Wen Yan's voice was soft but firm.
Jiang Lin forgot, but he still remembered.
That day, the sky was full of yellow sand and he and his teammates were trapped in a pile of zombies. Jiang Lin fell from the sky and saved them all.
The ice spikes all over the sky and the fabric fluttering in the wind made her look like the savior of this world.
It was a pity that he had to search for a long time before he found her, and it was a pity that she didn't remember that she had saved him.
After a night's rest, the team members recovered most of their energy and spirit, and after Chen Siwei finished speaking, they felt a little more relaxed.
Wen Yan still led the team silently as usual.
Sheng Wei was able to walk on her own, but walking would easily cause her wound to get injured. So Jiang Lin carried her for a while while she walked the rest of the way.
In fact, Jiang Lin could have carried her the whole time, but Sheng Wei still didn't quite trust her physique.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong. I don't feel safe on your back because I'm afraid of falling down." Sheng Wei glanced at Jiang Lin's small body.
Jiang Lin had grown taller and stronger since entering the base, but he was still a little thin compared to Sheng Wei and the others.
I must take good care of myself when I get back, maybe I can grow taller, Jiang Lin thought secretly.
Although Zhang Tian had delayed them yesterday, they still managed to reach the vicinity of the Leap Biology Experiment Base today. However, the team's pace had slowed down, and some members began to show signs of unease.
Wen Yan was fine, but some team members were not in a good condition to continue walking, and there was also an injured person, Sheng Wei, so they found a decent building nearby to rest.
As soon as they confirmed that the resting place was safe, many people fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Lin was relatively sober. She observed the reactions of several people and felt that something was not right. These were people who had carried out many missions.
And this symptom did not appear in the past few days.
"Do you think their symptoms are a bit similar to what you had in that house?" Wen Yan took the temperature of the sleeping team member and found that it was slightly elevated but not to the level of fever.
After hearing what Wen Yan said, Jiang Lin finally remembered that it was indeed a very unpleasant feeling.
But they had already left the house, and why were the others' reactions so much slower than hers?
"Could there be something wrong with the experimental base? Chen Guanghai is a lunatic. Could this mission be a complete scam?" Chen Siwei spoke weakly.
"Just like Zhang Tian said, this was a dead end from the very beginning."
After Chen Siwei finished speaking, everyone's faces looked unhappy.
"It's also possible that he is lying. Neither he nor I are Chen Guanghai's confidants. Maybe he just wants to scare us." Chen Siwei touched his nose and tried to think positively.
"There may be something strange about this experimental base." Jiang Lin said calmly.
[Mission Trigger: You have been sent to the Leap Biological Experiment Base to complete a resource exchange mission. The journey is filled with dangers. You have resolved one danger, but you have not yet solved the most critical factor leading to a dead end. Please go to the Leap Biological Experiment Base to explore its hidden secrets.
Mission successful reward: mysterious gift pack. 】
"110, I haven't received the reward from last time yet." The system suddenly spoke, reminding her that she seemed to have a gift package that she hadn't received yet.
[Task 2 Success Reward: Ultra-precision Isolation Mask. Can block out any harmful substances. Mall Price: 500 Batteries]
Is this thing so expensive?
【Guaranteed value for money. 】
Chatting with the system distracted Jiang Lin for a while.
"Then should we still enter the experimental base?" Wen Yan was also a little unsure.
"Go in, why not? If there really is a dead end in there, and there is something that can kill us, once it develops, the living environment for humans will only become worse." Jiang Lin said this lightly.
The light of the setting sun shone on her face, which actually gave her a divine look.
"Then get some rest. We'll go into the base tomorrow." Wen Yan spoke. What Jiang Lin said made sense. Even if it was a dead end, they had to go in and take a look.
That night, Jiang Lin dreamed of the tree again. This time, no voice whispered in her ear, but she felt watched. Who was watching them again?
