Chapter 14 Rescue
Bao Taozi knew that she couldn't directly cooperate with the higher-ups at the base, because whatever her hotel said was so mysterious, they wouldn't necessarily believe it. She had to build up her reputation first, so they would proactively investigate her and contact her.
The current publicity will expand around the surrounding area first, since there are not many rooms anyway.
Bao Taozi said something to Qi Heng and drove out in her RV.
I drove out of the villa. This was the first time I left in two months. The outside had changed a lot. The sky was full of yellow earth, and all the buildings were covered with yellow gray. There was no green plant at a glance, and it felt like a wasteland.
The temperature was terribly high, and the heat-insulating clothing I stockpiled before the apocalypse was actually of little use. It was still very uncomfortable to stay outdoors for any longer.
[Trigger three-star mission: rescue.]
Name: Yue Chongguang (61 years old) Yue Beishan (45 years old)
Mission completion rewards: Unlock 203 and 204; reward 2000 points; unlock 1 laboratory fragment (0/3), and extend the protective shield for six months.
Mission time: within 24 hours
The task location has been sent to the system panel, please check it in time. 】
Protective shield! I've been worried about it for several days, and the time for the protective shield is almost up!
Bao Taozi quickly opened the panel, located the laboratory of Haishi University, turned off the panel and immediately rushed to the university.
It took twenty minutes to reach Haishi University. I got out of the car with my weapons and looked for the laboratory building. Driving in would make too much noise and would attract too many zombies. Although I had a necklace and couldn't die, it would be tiring to clean up so many zombies.
After a few minutes, I successfully found the university's map sign, found the direction, and rushed over quickly.
Haishi University is really big. Bao Taozi walked for more than half an hour before reaching the laboratory building.
There are five floors in total. The system doesn’t tell you how many floors there are, so you can only search one floor at a time.
He picked up the bag, which contained the Peach Hotel flyers, printed on the printer he had bought from the system. He clenched the broadsword in his hand.
In the first room on the first floor, Bao Taozi cleared out the zombies wandering around the door.
"Excuse me, is anyone there? I've cleared out the zombies at the door, I'm here to look for someone!"
No one responded, so Bao Taozi opened the door and walked in. There were only experimental equipment and other things inside.
I went to the second room on the first floor, but there was no one there. After clearing it out, I went to the second floor.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
“Is anyone there?”
While shouting, he cleared out the zombies that came to the building following the sound.
"Yes! There are people, we are in Lab 201!"
Bao Taozi was delighted that there was finally a living person.
He quickly cleared out the zombies that were rushing over, stuffed dozens of crystal cores into the space, and hurried to 201.
He knocked on the door and said, "Hello, are there any gentlemen named Yue Chongguang and Yue Beishan here?"
There was a rustling sound from inside, and a moment later, a boy said through the door, "The two gentlemen you're talking about are our dean and professor. They're not here. When the apocalypse comes, they should still be doing experiments in the lab on the fifth floor!"
After saying this, the boy seemed to want to open the door, but the door handle turned and was closed again.
"Wang Xian, what are you doing?! Why are you opening the door?!"
A girl's sharp scream reached Bao Taozi's ears.
The boy shouted with anger in his voice.
"Open the door and let them in! When we heard someone was coming, we were about to open the door and go to help, but you stubbornly refused to let us open it, saying there were zombies outside! Now the zombies have been cleared out, and you still won't let us open the door! Just tell me what you want!"
"How can a girl like her do this? I think this is a trap!"
Bao Taozi didn't want to wait any longer. After all, he didn't know the situation of the person he was looking for. Just getting the information was enough.
"It's okay. I'm leaving."
After saying that, she ignored the boy's attempts to keep her and ran towards the laboratory on the fifth floor with a knife in her pocket.
He did not waste any more time clearing out the zombies on each floor. He only cleared out those that hindered his climbing up the stairs. When he reached the fifth floor, there were dozens of more crystal cores in the space, two of which were red and one yellow. He guessed that they should be level two crystal cores.
When we got to the fifth floor, there was only one laboratory. I knocked on the door and asked.
"Excuse me, are Mr. Yue Chongguang and Mr. Yue Beishan here?"
There was a cough from inside the door, and soon someone came to the door.
Gently opened the door a crack.
It was a middle-aged man in a white lab coat, his mouth dry and dirty. He looked at the girl in front of him with lifeless eyes and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm here to find you. Would you like to come with me? I've opened a hotel."
The man was extremely surprised. He had originally wanted to wait for official rescue, but instead, a young girl who claimed to run a hotel appeared. However, he did not dare to underestimate the other party. He knew how many zombies were out there. He knew that the girl could come in alone to rescue people. The roaring downstairs had also decreased a lot, so he knew she was reliable.
Quickly open the door and let Bao Taozi come in first.
"We can go anywhere, as long as we don't stay here. To be honest, little girl, my father and I have eaten up the food stored in the laboratory in the past few months, and my father has been lying unable to move because he hasn't eaten or drunk water for two days." As the man spoke, his eyes were misty and tears flowed over his cracked lips.
This was Bao Taozi's first time facing the end of the world. Before that, she had been staying in the hotel, which was like a paradise. Looking at the man in front of her and the old man lying on the ground, she felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
But! At least, at least I have a system. I can build a paradise for everyone in the end times!
"Let me see how Grandpa is doing first."
The man nodded frantically. No matter which side the little girl came from, as long as she could save his father, he would agree to any request!
Bao Taozi walked closer and took a look at the old man. He looked very weak and it was obvious that he was lacking nutrition. The dry bread was not suitable for him.
I took out glucose and preserved egg and lean meat porridge, helped the old man up, first fed him some water to moisten his throat, and then gave him glucose.
The old man did not faint, but he felt weak all over and opened his eyes.
Seeing a neatly dressed little girl with a healthy and rosy complexion feeding him, he quickly pushed her away with all his strength.
"Little girl, eat by yourself... In this doomsday... Food is important..."
Taozi felt warm in her heart and advised, "Grandpa, I came here specifically to save you. I have plenty to eat. Look at my meat, it's so much! Please eat it quickly!"
As he spoke, he cleared the table and took out some light and nutritious dishes from the space.
Yue Chongguang and Yue Beishan were stunned, and it was the aroma of food that brought them out of their stunned state.
"Let's eat first. When I have enough strength, I'll take you back to my hotel. You can eat fresh meals there every day."
Taozi said as she set the plates.
"I haven't eaten since I went out. I'm hungry from killing zombies just now. It's a good opportunity for us to have a meal together!"
Yue Beishan eats white rice, while the old man eats preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Yue Beishan helped Yue Chongguang stand up and sat down at the table.
The old man burst into tears.
My own death is not a big deal, as I am already old. It's just a pity that I haven't made a greater contribution to the Xia Kingdom yet. Now that the hope of life is right in front of me, I can't give up!
