Chapter 45 Qi Huo is missing
In short, the rebels should still be active somewhere in Area C5. Since everything is fine here, Jian Yubai will not waste any more time here.
He said to these psychics, "Guard this place well," and then stepped into the blood ahead.
But after that, apart from ordinary zombies, he only saw one level four zombie and no trace of the rebels at all.
"Jian Yubai, how is it over there?"
Meng Wu and Wang Hong came over here, followed by six residents, all of whom were injured to varying degrees.
"The south is safe, the Corpse King is dead," Jian Yubai said, "You take these people to the south first."
"Corpse King?" Meng Wu and Wang Hong had indeed heard that there was a Corpse King here, but they didn't expect that he was already dead. "How did he die? Did you kill him?"
"Oh, by the way, have you seen Qi Huo?"
Jian Yubai asked, remembering that he was separated from his teammates at the beginning of the action.
He must not be nearby because the sound wave control ability did not detect it.
"I didn't see him." Wang Hong said. He was not surprised that Jian Yubai did not act with Qi Huo.
After all, both of them are S-level, so in this critical moment, it would be best to act separately.
"Okay, you guys go south first." After saying that, Jian Yubai and they went in different directions.
And three hours later, the dazzling light finally broke the darkness. At the moment the sun rose in the sky, the fear that had originally shrouded people was somehow alleviated a lot.
The surroundings seemed to become dull, losing the original noisy sounds.
Then Jian Yubai discovered that the C5 area, which had become messy due to the sudden attack of zombies, had become empty at some point.
Most of the zombies retreated to an unknown place, leaving only some level one and two zombies wandering around the city, making them easy to deal with.
No one knew why the rebels suddenly retreated, and Jian Yubai was in no mood to care about that. When all the zombies were dead and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Jian Yubai was still running on the streets of Area C5 as if he was not tired at all.
Then he caught someone and asked, "Have you seen Qi Huo?"
The wind carried the pungent smell of blood into their noses.
The bright red all over the ground constantly reminds people that several lives were lost in this nightmare-like night. Even though the enemy has retreated, everything that happened still hurts their nerves, and the feeling of depression is hard to dissipate.
Jian Yubai ran all over the district.
He explored every corner of the district and questioned everyone he met.
Qi Huo was not found either.
......
Although the battle in Zone C5 was considered a win, it was also the same as a loss. Many people died, including the commander of Zone C5.
The corpses, pools of blood, and the few remaining psychics are enough to show that Area C5 is no longer habitable.
In just one night, this bustling place was reduced to a deserted city.
Some of the surviving psychics suffered a great psychological trauma and withdrew from the psychic corps the next day.
Those who stayed behind were assigned to other safe areas along with the surviving residents.
The impact of this incident was not small, and everyone fell into panic because of it.
Because of the appearance of the Corpse King, because of the zombies attacking the city, because many people died, and because of Qi Huo’s disappearance.
Qi Huo, the strongest S-class psychic in the legion, even met with an accident that night. Who else could defeat the zombies and the rebels in the future?
"Are you... okay?"
Meng Wu glanced at Jian Yubai who was sitting next to him, with obvious worry in his eyes, and he was a little hesitant when he spoke.
"fine."
Although Jian Yubai said this, he had a dead air about him and his tone was dull, as if he had lost his soul. He clenched his hands tightly, afraid that if he used more force, his nails would dig into his flesh.
Meng Wu didn't know what to say, and Wang Hong patted Meng Wu on the shoulder.
They were also very worried about Qi Huo's disappearance, not to mention Jian Yubai.
All the commanders were in the hall. It was unknown who Old Qin was talking to, cursing. After hanging up the phone, he looked at the psychics in front of him.
There was a noisy sound in his ears, as if someone was talking, but Jian Yubai's mind was in a mess and he really didn't have the mood or energy to listen to what that person was saying.
It wasn't until Meng Wu touched him that he came back to his senses.
"Jian Yubai! What time is it now! Are you still in the mood to be in a daze?!" Old Qin's furious voice reached Jian Yubai's ears.
Jian Yubai looked at Old Qin with a lifeless look.
Seeing Jian Yubai's eyes, Old Qin seemed to be frightened for a moment, but quickly returned to his normal expression.
He said, "Qi Huo is dead now, but Area C6 did not suffer as many casualties as Area C5, and you are S-rank, so you will be the commander of Area C6 from now on. I cannot refuse this."
Jian Yubai was silent for two seconds, and then, as if his brain had realized something, he said something abruptly.
"Qi Huo is not dead."
Qi Huo was definitely not dead, because the system did not give him any notification of Qi Huo's death.
And if Qi Huo died and the mission failed, he would also be doomed, but he is still alive and well, which proves that Qi Huo is still alive.
But in the eyes of the top leaders and other commanders, Jian Yubai was sick.
A living person is missing. Even if he is not dead now, he must have been captured by the rebels. Since the other party has the ability to capture Qi Huo, how could they let Qi Huo escape easily?
So no matter what, this person is as good as dead.
"Qi Huo is not dead. Can you find him?" Old Qin was so angry that he felt dizzy after hearing this. "It's not a question of whether he is dead or not. He is no longer in Area C6. No one knows where he is. You are the only one who can take over!"
What Mr. Qin said is actually correct.
Qi Huo doesn’t know what the situation is now, and Area C6 is the border of the safe zone, so someone must step forward to act as the commander.
As an S-level person, Jian Yubai is the most suitable candidate.
"I can't be the commander. If Qi Huo dies, I won't live either."
Jian Yubai didn't want to say anything more. He left this sentence, stood up and walked out of the house.
This is true. If Qi Huo died, Jian Yubai would definitely be killed by the system. He is really not suitable to be the commander of Zone C6.
But at this moment he was so anxious, so uneasy, and so scared that he couldn't help but tremble all over. He hoped that Qi Huo would suddenly appear in front of him every moment, not because of the fear that he might be punished to death by the system.
But he was really afraid that something might happen to Qi Huo.
"Where are you going?" Old Qin also stood up from his chair and shouted at Jian Yubai's back, "Jian Yubai, stop right there!"
Meng Wu and Wang Hong looked at Jian Yubai, then at the senior management, then hesitantly took a step forward and left with Jian Yubai.
