When the scene cut back, Qiao Shu was already sitting upright in the chair, swinging her legs, watching Lu Tingnian drawing a map.
[Oh my god, Qiao Shu's lips are red. Something must have happened to them!]
"Why aren't we allowed to watch? I'd love to be a VIP! Show crew, please be human! Even if you just give me a VIP membership, I'd be happy with it!"
[You're not just rocking a couple in a survival variety show. Why don't you bring out the NPC and film a dating show with Qiao Shu? I can raise donations for the startup funds!]
The barrage keeps refreshing.
"Giving you the map isn't actually very useful."
Lu Tingnian handed her the map he had drawn, a faint smile on his lips. "I told the next few waves of people how to get there, but it was useless. That place was already a cemetery."
"So what should we do? We have to go. I heard there's an antidote for the zombie poison inside. Otherwise, why wouldn't Chief Zhao at the base give up? But I'm also curious why Chief Zhao wants the antidote so badly. Could it be... for City Z?"
The smile on Lu Tingnian's lips gradually faded. He said indifferently, "Even if there is an antidote, what does it matter? You will only die if you go. It will be difficult for you to get what Zhao Wei couldn't get for so long."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"It's almost dawn, you can go back and rest."
Lu Tingnian pretended not to hear and began to order them to leave.
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Dr. Lu."
Qiao Shu waved at him and left the laboratory without looking back.
Looking at her free and easy figure, Lu Tingnian curled his lips and shook his head helplessly.
After returning to the dormitory and falling asleep, not long after, Hong Dazhu sent someone to take him to the first district.
"Oh, Miss Qiao, you are so capable. You can come out of Dr. Lu safely. That's amazing."
The man from District 6 also gave her a flattering smile and a thumbs-up.
"What are you talking about? We're about to go on a mission, and you're still laughing and joking."
Hong Dazhu glared at them, then turned to look at Qiao Shu and the others, and said bluntly, "Newbies, this is your first mission since joining our base. Be careful. We won't care about your lives. If you die outside, no one will collect your bodies."
"Also, this mission involves not only our District 6, but also people from other districts. You guys better give your all and don't embarrass us, District 6."
"knew."
Qiao Shu responded lazily.
When I looked up, I saw several district captains politely complimenting a middle-aged man.
Qiao Shu asked, "Captain Hong, is that Chief Zhao?"
Hong Dazhu glanced at her and sneered at her, "Yes, Chief Zhao used to be a big shot in Z City. You can tell he's a powerful person since he was able to build the current base. However, you probably won't have much chance to meet him."
"Okay, these are your weapons. Take them. We'll be leaving soon."
Captain Han from District 8 distributed weapons to them, gave them some pistols and sent them off.
"Why do they have submachine guns and assault rifles, but we only have ordinary pistols?"
Lin Yanze looked at the gun in his hand, feeling depressed.
“It seems there is competition among the districts.”
Seeing that Hong Dazhu didn't say anything, Qiao Shu took two pistols and put them on her waist.
Ye Shaojun secretly brought them a lot of bullets and magazines. "You must be careful. Today's mission is near the Empire State Building. There are many zombies over there, and even mutated beasts."
“How terrifying.”
Shen Yan hung her head, feeling a little scared.
Qiao Shu patted her shoulder and said, "Hide behind me and follow me closely. It's okay."
"Okay, Sister Qiao!"
Chen Yan nodded hurriedly and was determined to hug Qiao Shu's thighs tightly.
But Jiang Yiyao is in the eighth team, so it’s a bit difficult to protect her.
"Let's go, get in the car!"
Hong Dazhu shouted, and a large group of people followed and got into the car. The tightly closed door opened, and one off-road vehicle after another raised dust and drove towards the city center fortress.
"Today's mission is to collect crystal cores. Everyone, attack the zombies' heads and take out the crystal cores from them. These are very useful and can provide energy to the base."
Hong Dazhu led them to wander on the deserted street, with murderous intent, shooting each zombie with a gun. Immediately after, someone came with a knife to pry open the zombies and take out the bloody crystal core.
Qiao Shu killed dozens of zombies by herself, took out the crystal cores without blinking, and asked Chen Yan to put them all in the bag.
"This task doesn't seem that difficult anymore."
Shen Yan could no longer vomit, but now that she saw the zombies and blood, she calmed down a lot.
Jiang Yunhao held the pistol in his hand, approached Qiao Shu, and asked quietly, "Qiao Shu, you went to Dr. Lu's laboratory yesterday. Did you see Mingyue?"
"I don't know, don't ask me!"
Qiao Shu was cold and indifferent and didn't want to talk to him.
"That's your sister!"
"That's your fiancée. Why don't you go and save her instead of asking me?"
Qiao Shu rolled her eyes at him, raised her gun and shot him.
Bang!
The zombie behind him fell down and landed at Jiang Yunhao's feet. He broke out in a cold sweat and his legs were shaking. He couldn't believe that Qiao Shu could be so calm while shooting at him, even though the zombie she shot down was the zombie behind him.
This woman is even calmer and more terrifying than I imagined, and also...very charming!
I originally thought that today's mission was very simple and I would be finishing work and returning to the base soon, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw Captain Han and a group of people sneaking into a small alley.
"What's going on?"
Hong Dazhu had obviously noticed it too, and he called out to Qiao Shu and the others, "You guys, come with me to take a look."
Passing through the alley, they saw Captain Han and his men sneaking into a building.
The building was dim and shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. The surrounding streets were empty, and there was not even a zombie wandering outside, as if they also knew that this place was dangerous.
"Gosh, why did this idiot sneak up to the Empire State Building with his own men? Is he trying to kill himself?"
Hong Dazhu frowned, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"The Empire State Building?"
Qiao Shu and Xu Tingzhou looked at each other. They didn't expect to arrive at the Empire State Building map so soon, and they still had the map that Lu Tingnian drew for them in their pockets.
"Captain, what should we do now? Should I send someone to the base immediately to convey the news? Should I say that Captain Han acted independently?"
A younger brother asked him.
Hong Dazhu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just saw him talking to Chief Zhao. Could it be that the chief assigned him this mission privately? No, I can't let District 8 stealthily claim credit. Let's go see what's going on!"
