Chapter 29 Officials, Military Personnel Arrive



After watching the show, Gu Lingxiao disappeared from the spot, found those zombies and dealt with them to eliminate future troubles. That kid was lucky.

Gu Lingxiao let the matter drop.

Those people stopped when they saw Liu Kui's miserable state.

After lunch, Gu Lingchuan took Lin Yu and the others out, including ten able-bodied young men who intended to stay with him.

Gu Lingxiao then went to find a few stronger zombies nearby to practice on, figuring out how to deal with them faster and more conveniently.

He also talked about how to maximize the use of his superpowers, and that's how he spent his free time.

When Gu Lingchuan and his men arrived at the factory, there were already many zombies wandering around, devouring the crystallization of their own kind.

The group of four, including Gu Lingchuan, quickly dealt with the twenty-odd zombies and handed over the task of collecting the zombie crystals.

The ten people stood there blankly for a while. These ten people had experience killing zombies, so they were not so scared by the zombies that they dared not move.

It was just because it was so terrible—they were talking about zombies, scattered everywhere—that they finally understood why their leader and the rest of them had been almost all injured last night.

It's unbelievable that this is just an injury.

Gu Lingchuan toured the entire factory. "There are basically no living zombies left, but we still need to be careful when extracting zombie crystals."

"Don't worry, leader, we've killed zombies before."

Gu Lingchuan nodded. "It's always better to be careful. Even though I checked everything, there's always a chance some might slip through."

Gu Lingchuan only allowed them to collect in areas with relatively few zombies, while Gu Lingchuan collected in areas with the most zombies. With his mental domain, all of them combined couldn't collect as quickly as he did.

By late afternoon, Gu Lingchuan and his group had collected nearly ten thousand zombie crystals.

Just then, Lin Yu looked up and saw an eagle swooping down at top speed and landing on his shoulder.

After pausing for a while, it flew into the sky again.

Lin Yu approached Gu Lingchuan and said, "Mr. Gu, there are seven people rapidly approaching from the south. Based on the information we have, they should all be evolved beings, and five of them are wearing special forces tactical gear."

"It's impossible to determine the specific stages at the moment."

"Is it someone from the government?" Gu Lingchuan whispered.

He then asked, "Have the animals we sent out to scout returned?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "Only the birds we sent back confirmed there are people there. We're still gathering information on the rest."

How far away are they from us?

“When Black Hawk saw them, they were still more than ten kilometers away. By the time Black Hawk returned, they had advanced three or four kilometers. They should only be seven or eight kilometers away now,” Lin Yu roughly calculated and gave an answer.

Gu Lingchuan nodded. "Lin Yu, arrange for a few flying animals to find Ling Xiao. Once they arrive, they should remain nearby. If no conflict occurs, there's no need to expose yourself."

"We'll continue collecting the zombie crystals, pretending we don't know anything. With so many zombie corpses, we can show them off now, which will be somewhat intimidating." Even if they don't come looking for us, it will still be useful.

Lin Yu folded the note and put it into the small bamboo tube on the swift's leg before releasing it.

The needletail swift is extremely fast and is best suited for carrying messages.

It's a pity that walkie-talkies can't transmit that far, otherwise it would have been a matter of moments.

As for the satellite phone, Gu Lingchuan just took it out, but Gu Lingxiao didn't bring it with him at all, or rather, he broke it during his rampage yesterday and didn't have time to get a replacement.

This was also Gu Lingchuan's oversight; he had originally planned to equip Gu Lingxiao with the third superpower when Gu Lingxiao went out to search for it.

But sometimes, things just happen by chance.

After Lin Yu finished doing everything, Gu Lingchuan continued, "Be careful to monitor their movements, and don't let them discover us."

Lin Yu nodded. "I know that."

Afterwards, everyone returned to their work of collecting zombie crystals, except for Gu Lingchuan and the other three.

Time passed by, minute by minute, until a little less than an hour had gone by.

Lin Yucai approached Gu Lingchuan and whispered, "We're here. The outpost will see us in ten minutes."

"They're finally here. I thought they weren't coming after all this time," Gu Lingchuan replied in a low voice.

"They took a detour; there's an area to the south with a large patch of wriggling roots."

......

"Boss, there are people ahead!"

The voice coming through the headset made the other six people who were moving forward stop.

"What are you doing?"

"Boss, you should come and see for yourselves." The voice in the headset trembled slightly.

Soon the group arrived at the front and met up with the outpost. They walked several hundred meters further before they saw Gu Lingchuan and the others.

The heads of those zombie corpses looked even more terrifying because they had been damaged during the extraction of the crystal cores.

"Phew~ Clairvoyance, let's check again for any traces of firearms."

The sentry, regaining his senses, his whites turned yellow and his pupils shrank slightly as he carefully observed the scene before him.

There were shell casings, but they were all from low-powered firearms; there weren't even Barrett shell casings, let alone bomb casings.

What's even more astonishing is the presence of fist marks on the broken walls. These minute traces lead to a startling conclusion: these zombies, and even the collapsed factory, were deliberately beaten to death and destroyed.

The all-seeing eye shared its findings with everyone.

"What kind of monster is this? Giant Spirit God, can you do this?"

The man next to him, fully dressed in combat gear and easily over 2.1 meters tall, shook his head. "Becoming stronger again is still possible."

"According to Liu Kui from the Blue Fish Survivor Base, there is no news about this person. It's probably one of the other three: Lin Yu, Lin An, or Bai Ling."

Are any of these people the person we're looking for?

"According to the oral accounts, Bai Ling, Lin An, and Lin Yu are all among the remaining individuals, it's uncertain whether it's Gu Lingchuan or Gu Lingxiao. The oral accounts state that the two look quite similar."

"I remember Gu Lingchuan is an entrepreneur. Haven't you ever met him in person?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Since you've already met them, go say hello. Remember to be polite," said the man in charge, who wasn't worried about his team members.

The other two were not his teammates. Both of them were of the same rank as him. They were evolved humans who had been recruited in large numbers by the authorities. Due to the lack of various positions, they were promoted based on their superpowers without any regard for their character.

“We represent the government, what can he do?” said a middle-aged man with glasses and a slightly overweight build.

“Exactly, it’s already pretty good to give them a chance to join us,” another thin man with a mustache chimed in.

The two originally belonged to the official government of the Great Xia Dynasty, while they themselves belonged to the Great Xia military. The two were originally separate within the Great Xia system, but were merged together after the outbreak of the apocalypse.

However, each position has its own set of rules, making it impossible to fully integrate. The main issue is that there were already minor conflicts.

This mission originally belonged to the military, but more than ten days ago they contacted three first-level professors from Lijiang University, as well as several of their students.

One of them is a leading figure in the field of biological evolution; they are irreplaceable talents, and losing even one of them would be a great loss.
