Chapter 23 New Mission
Waking up again in the comfortable and safe room, Tang Yichao stretched his back and felt that the laziness of the past two days was not desirable!
He quickly washed up and walked downstairs.
"Ah, you finally woke up, I'm starving." Long Yilan was lying on the sofa in a daze without image.
Tang Yichao paused, his energetic smile froze, and his steps turned in another direction.
Laziness is human nature, and he is not suitable to suppress nature.
Good! I can sleep in again today!
"Don't tease him." Chu Wanyue came out of the kitchen with a few packs of instant noodles in her hand, "Eat something casually, he has been in the kitchen for two days."
Long Yilan laughed.
"Is it funny?" Tang Yichao stared at Long Yilan with a wooden face, "Tsk! Fork it out!"
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Long Yilan tried to restrain her smile, her face was a little distorted.
While the two of them were making a fuss, Jiang Yunqi had already eaten instant noodles.
Hot noodles can relax people.
It was at this time that Gu Bingchen proposed the mission.
"Ah, the good days are waving to me again." Tang Yichao slurped a mouthful of noodles and solemnly drank a mouthful of boiling hot soup, "hiss, it's scalding me."
Chu Wanyue: "What mission?"
"Another research institute." Gu Bingchen took out a list, "This time their target is the instruments of the research center."
"Instruments?" Chu Wanyue took a look and frowned, "So many?"
"Well, it is said that most of the instruments in the research institute were smashed by that thief." Gu Bingchen thought of the arrogant short-haired woman two days ago, "Is there any news about her movements?"
Tang Yichao drank two mouthfuls of water to suppress the stinging sensation on his tongue. He quickly raised his hand: "I think she is angry and has a mission."
Gu Bingchen: "...Straighten your tongue and talk."
"Hmph." Tang Yichao pouted and drank two more sips of water. "I mean, I know she went on a mission."
"She went with the Sunshine Team." He put down his chopsticks and said, "I heard she went to Ningcheng as well."
"What a coincidence?" Chu Wanyue was surprised. Recently, the mission hall's missions are almost all in Ningcheng.
No one would believe that there is nothing there.
Tang Yichao suddenly remembered something and said in a puzzled tone: "Do you feel that something is wrong with the base recently?"
"You just noticed?" Gu Bingchen glanced at him. "
The base commander hasn't appeared for a long time. Logically, the deputy base commander should be the one to preside over the relevant meetings." After coming out of the conference building yesterday, Chu Wanyue figured out something strange.
A large meeting is held every month in the base. The main members are the heads of administrative districts and the task forces at the top of the major rankings, as well as a few researchers from the research institutes.
The person who presides over the meeting and summarizes the work is the base director. If the base director is absent for some reason, the deputy base director will take over, assisted by the secretary.
However, at yesterday's meeting, the person standing on the rostrum was the director of the research institute, Gu Mingyuan.
He explained it this way: "The base director is on sick leave, and someone in the deputy base director's family has passed away, so I was asked to preside over this meeting. Do you have any objections?"
Even if there were opinions, no one pointed them out on the spot. No one present was a fool.
Smart people are used to dealing with things according to circumstances.
It's just that after returning home, everyone has some ulterior motives, so I don't know.
"I remember that the base commander seemed to be in good health." Tang Yichao washed a few cucumbers and chewed them for a while. "I saw him last month and he was still energetic and walking briskly."
"What is this?" Long Yilan didn't know what they were talking about, so she didn't interrupt, but the sweet fragrance of the cucumber was really tempting. "Is it delicious?"
She looked at the plate of green and juicy cucumbers eagerly.
Tang Yichao handed one over: "I bought it at the redemption store yesterday. It was so expensive."
But he was greedy, so he bought a few.
Gu Bingchen didn't like the taste of cucumbers, but Jiang Yunqi liked it very much, so he gave him his own.
"No matter what, don't cause trouble to me."
He didn't want to cause trouble, and it was better not to find him if there was trouble, otherwise, he didn't mind solving these troubles.
His intuition was always accurate, and he always had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
I'm afraid that this seemingly safe Meicheng base has already been undercurrents.
Not far from the base, a team rescued a beautiful boy who had fainted.
"You said, your name is Gu Hua?" The beautiful boy opened his eyes and looked at the short-haired woman in front of him. A bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Thank you for saving me."
Everyone will take a second look at beautiful things.
Gu Hua's cheeks flushed and she said shyly, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."
Then she raised her head and asked, "Do you want to eat something? I'll get it for you."
Without waiting for the boy to answer, she walked to the center of the campfire and asked for food.
The young man stared at the slender figure, his lips moved, and he murmured something that was blown away by the breeze: "You are Gu Hua, then who is she? It's getting more and more interesting."
In the shadow, a layer of gloom appeared in the young man's eyes.
Gu Hua, who was squatting by the campfire and looking for food, rubbed her arms and felt a bit of chill.
But she didn't take it seriously, just thinking it was the temperature drop at night.
"I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?" Gu Huan quickly got what she wanted from the Sunshine Team, and then under the unhappy gazes of the others, she turned and walked to the boy, "You must be hungry, eat quickly."
"My name is Li Hui." The handsome boy seemed to be really hungry. He tore open the package with his teeth, wolfed down the food to fill his stomach, and said vaguely, "Just call me Xiaohui."
Gu Huan didn't care about the boy's rough movements at all, and had a satisfied smile on her face: "Good name, then I will call you Xiaohui."
"Yeah! Sister, you are so nice!" Li Hui nodded heavily, his eyes clear and bright, as if he liked Gu Huan very much.
"Be good, sister will treat you well in the future." Gu Hua touched Li Hui's hair, with a hint of infatuation in her eyes.
She also did not notice the boy's sudden murderous intent.
The two had different thoughts, but to outsiders, they were as warm and intimate as siblings.
"Is this person sick? The things are not hers, but she took them just because she wanted to. I am speechless." The girl crossed her arms, her face wrinkled, and she was very unhappy. "I don't know what the captain was thinking. He insisted that we take her with us."
"Okay, Feifei, don't be angry. The captain has his own considerations. We just need to complete the task." Another taller girl patted her shoulder and comforted her softly.
Ke Fei drooped his brows: "Only Sister Aya has a good temper. If it were me, I would have just scolded her."
"Ke Fei, you look like a poor puppy now." A mean boy pointed and laughed.
"You are the dog, your whole family is dogs!" Ke Fei rolled his eyes at him unhappily, then held his chin and muttered, "How long will it take us to get to Huayuan Community?"
"We should be there tomorrow afternoon." Fang Xiaoya looked at the boundless night. She was the leader of this mission and had to be in high spirits. Failure of the mission was one thing, but not a single member could be lost.
"It's getting late. The six of us will take turns on duty. Fei Fei, Xiao Jie and I will be on duty in the first half of the night, and the other three will be on duty in the second half of the night. Do you understand?" She said in a serious and earnest tone.
Team members: "Understood!"
Ke Fei raised his hand: "What about those two people?"
Fang Xiaoya raised her eyes and looked directly at Gu Huan and Li Hui, and said in a deep voice: "They don't have to keep watch, but they must be watched closely."
Don't cause trouble for them.
She didn't say the latter sentence, but the people around her were all team members who had been together for a long time and had a tacit understanding. Often, they understood each other's meaning with just one look.
Their eyes quickly swept across the corner, and then immediately retracted their gaze. Therefore,
they did not notice the boy's eyes looking at them, which were dark and unfathomable.
Time passed quickly, and it was the next day in the blink of an eye.
This was the first time that Tang Yichao and the other two came to the scientific research center.
Jiang Yunqi and Gu Bingchen also only came once and left in a hurry.
So they didn't know much about the layout of this place.
Chu Wanyue was indeed good at collecting information, and she found some clues in a mess at a glance.
"This should be the map." She picked up a piece of paper, which was covered with bloody footprints, and it was actually difficult to see.
"It's okay, just wipe it clean."
The paper was sealed in plastic, and after being washed clean by water, a map appeared in front of everyone.
They were in the lobby of the scientific research center, which was also the reception area.
The instruments in the task list would definitely not appear here. Gu Bingchen took the map, took a look, pointed to the rooms marked with something and said: "Let's search in order."
No one had any other suggestions, but Jiang Yunqi suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Gu Bingchen followed his gaze and looked over there. There was nothing except white tiles.
Jiang Yunqi shook his head: "I feel someone is watching us."
Tang Yichao got goosebumps all over his body: "Oh my god, don't scare me."
Gu Bingchen was puzzled, why Jiang Yunqi could always sense someone peeking at them from behind, so he asked.
"I told you, mental power is very useful." Jiang Yunqi withdrew his gaze lightly, "No harm, maybe a survivor hiding here."
It was also strange, the last time he came here, he was still surrounded by countless zombies, but today he didn't see a single one.
"That's good, I thought there was something scary here." Tang Yichao breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Wanyue tapped his forehead: "Don't let your guard down."
"I know~"
The figures of several people slowly disappeared in the hall. The woman hiding in the dark relaxed her tense nerves, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She didn't expect that the man was so sensitive. He
was caught just by a glance through the surveillance.
Just like last time, he was just following from a distance, without revealing a trace of flaws, but was still detected.
These people can only be made friends!
Moreover, no one knows where Xu Huili has gone, don't let him die outside.
The woman's heart was filled with anxiety and worry. She turned around and took a look at the zombie dancing ballet in the iron cage, and her mind was working fast.
We must not let those people find this place.
