Guan Zining, who was sitting in the back row, said, "She's definitely gifted in perception. Not only that, but she's also very perceptive of danger. Last time the 'Bone Wings' appeared, if she hadn't dodged a bit slower, she would have been pierced. But, Major General, what the hell did you kill again? The side effects this time are quite unpleasant."
She paused and described the feeling: "It's like a dead ghost crawling over you."
The hot weather made Cen Tianjiao and the others shiver.
Cen Tianjiao rubbed his arms and said, "Sister Ning, your description is quite accurate. We did encounter a difficult 'dead ghost' this time. We almost couldn't come back."
Shi Zijin was also helpless: "Let's go see the old leader first."
Xing Hongwen frowned when he saw Shi Zijin's unusual aura:
"The side effects are a bit severe this time. This thing is difficult to handle, isn't it?"
Shi Zijin said, "That person's ability is 'ghostly spirit.' He disappears at night. I spent some effort to find a sunny day, and only when he reappeared did I have the chance to kill him. I don't know if it was because he possessed too many people while in his vengeful spirit state, but after licking his blood, I received fragments of several people's memories. It was too confusing to digest, so I had the illusion of being possessed for a while. After a few days, I digested his memories and abilities, and everything was fine."
Xing Hongwen breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as there's no substantial harm to you, that's fine. I've already asked Pei Dong to receive the batch of building materials you brought. After all the arrangements are made, construction can begin this week."
The old man sighed again, "But building the city wall will take some time. During this time, there's a high chance of an ambush by evolved zombies. Yesterday, Pei Dong came to report that an evolved zombie had appeared in the East District. They killed two refugees and then went into hiding. It looked like a test or provocation."
"A zombie siege is probably inevitable, so after a while, you'll have to rest up and then go and find some building materials."
"In addition, we also need medicine and medical equipment. As the number of evolved zombies increases, our casualties will also increase. Healing ability users are too rare, so we still have to rely on medical treatment."
Shi Zijin only felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
Xing Hongwen also felt the pressure. "There's also the mutant zombie 'Bone Wing'. Although we've captured it, our current level of research doesn't allow us to fully understand its mutation patterns. We have to secretly transport it to the Changjing base and have a professional team with sophisticated equipment take over."
Shi Zijin nodded: "Can you let me see it?"
Xing Hongwen then found a Class A researcher from Dongyang and brought Shi Zijin and others into the first-level confidential research area.
The electronic gates opened one after another, and Shi Zijin finally saw the boy with "bone wings" floating in the nutrient solution with his eyes closed.
Its face is delicate and beautiful, without any sign of a zombie.
Behind it is a pair of huge folded wings, with blood-red feathers connected to the joints, which is weird and shocking.
The researcher said: "We put it into a deep sleep, stopping all growth and activity. Otherwise, with its destructive power, it could have destroyed my laboratory."
Shi Zijin asked, "He won't wake up during transportation, right?"
It will be troublesome when you wake up.
The researcher assured him, "As long as this protective chamber isn't damaged, he won't wake up. Furthermore, this chamber is made of special materials, so it's generally not easily damaged. Just be sure to avoid a powerful punch from a powerhouse like Second Lieutenant Dang."
As the tank and close combat expert in the team, Dang Xingyan smiled.
On the way back, Shi Zijin's mind was full of the hardships of the next mission.
Not only do they have to find building materials, medicines, and medical equipment, but they also have to send the hot potato of "bone wings" to Changjing.
Cen Tianjiao and his companions were also exhausted.
Being the heart of the base is not easy.
On their backs is the entire base, the lives of nearly 50,000 people.
The weight was enough to make it difficult for them to breathe.
Cen Tianjiao lay sprawled in the back seat: "I don't care anymore. I want to go back to Taoyang and spend a few days enjoying the good life with my mother. We'll talk about it later."
Shi Zijin patted the driver Dang Xingyan and said, "Drive faster. I'm tired."
Dang Xingyan stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
It was already past ten o'clock when we returned to Taoyang.
The Central Park is particularly beautiful at night, and the ground lights under the fountain make the water surface sparkle.
Reflected by the waves and facing the moonlight, Shi Zijin saw Su Tao lying on a lounge chair by the fountain.
Su Tao just stood up and looked back, and saw Shi Zijin in the night. The sense of strangeness almost reached its peak, making the words she wanted to ask stuck in her throat.
He stood up and stood there, unwilling to take a step forward.
Shi Zijin couldn't help but laugh: "It really is me."
Su Tao said honestly: "But I think you are a little different, so weird."
"What do you think is different?"
"It's your temperament and state. There were a few moments when I felt like you were a ghost, so eerie."
Shi Zijin really didn't expect her to be so sensitive. He guessed almost half of it right and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Su Tao tilted her head and asked, "Can I touch you?"
Her earnest, inquiring eyes made Shi Zijin feel that she was like a little rabbit observing secretly, alert but unable to protect herself.
He couldn't help but scare her: "When you touch me, you'll find that you can pass through my body."
Su Tao's scalp tingled: "Stretch out your hand."
Shi Zijin stretched out his hand. Under the moonlight, his fingers were slender, with distinct joints, and very beautiful. Faint calluses could be seen on the base of his thumb and fingertips, which were the result of holding a gun for a long time.
Su Tao pursed her lips, stretched out a white and tender little finger, and poked his palm.
Hey, solid and warm.
She immediately smiled, revealing a row of small white teeth:
"The appraisal has been completed and it's basically passed. So maybe something happened to you. Can I know what happened?"
Shi Zijin withdrew his hand and clenched his palm, where an itch still lingered.
"It has something to do with my special ability."
Su Tao remembered that he said this was confidential last time, and couldn't help but be alert:
"I don't dare to listen to you anymore. If someone arrests me and interrogates me, I don't have that kind of integrity. I will definitely confess under torture."
When Shi Zijin heard her funny words, he couldn't help laughing. The heavy burden that had been suffocating him during the day was suddenly relieved.
"It's okay. I allow you to sell my information to save your life if you are caught."
Su Tao immediately pretended to listen attentively.
She also asked him to lie down with her on the recliner next to her and talk in detail.
Shi Zijin did as he was told. The moment he lay down, the relaxation of his body made the last bit of stress disappear.
Even his voice seemed a lot more relaxed:
"My ability is called 'Inheritance'. When I kill someone and lick their blood, I gain their memories and abilities, as if I inherited them from them."
Su Tao was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair.
Doesn't that mean you can have multiple superpowers?
Oh my god.
No wonder it's kept secret.
