Xiong Yan took into consideration the safety of Dr. Chen and the other members of the team, and the fact that it was getting dark early, so if they stayed any longer they might have to spend the night here. So he did not rest there for too long. After everyone had recovered from the shock, they packed up their things and prepared to get in the car and leave.
They were lucky this time. During the rest period, the zombie hordes did not catch up with them again. Only occasionally a few lone zombies wandered here from the street, but they were quickly dealt with by their people.
Before leaving, Xiong Yan said to the members of the Dawn Team in a serious tone: "If anyone in your team needs me, you can come to Base No. 3 to find me at any time. Just tell the base guard my name."
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Xiong Yan's power is limited. He is in the end times and cannot help everyone. But for those who have helped him, he will repay them as much as he can as long as he can.
This time, the Dawn Team not only helped them get rid of the zombies, but also got them two cars to return to the base. He will always remember this favor.
After the rescue team's car left, Gu Yicheng took their team's three cars out of the space.
He was in a hurry to save people just now, and there were still a lot of supplies in the car. It was not safe to leave them there. So Gu Yicheng simply put them all into the space.
Now that the rescue team had left, there was no need for them to stay any longer and waste time.
"Chaozi, can't we detect the location of your family here?" Lin Yang asked.
Jiang Jingchao glanced at the screen and shook his head, "No. Let's wait until we get to school and see."
So many days have passed since the apocalypse, and the reason why Jiang Jingchao is so sure that his family is still alive and somewhere in City B is because during the summer vacation, his mother bought a watch with a special chip for each member of the family, which can measure heart rate and vital signs. And she sternly stated that they must wear it every day and no one can take it off, otherwise she will get angry with anyone.
At that time, none of the three men in the family could understand why their mother suddenly wanted to buy such a useless thing. Now that I think about it, maybe this is a woman's sixth sense.
Fortunately, we have this watch, so that everyone in the family can know the situation of others even if they are separated at the end of the world.
The terminal of the watch is connected to the computer, and so far, the heartbeats of the other three people are still there.
So no matter what the situation is, at least the family is still alive. This is also the reason why Jiang Jingchao has been able to remain calm so far.
In fact, each watch can locate each other, but he could only accurately monitor the location of the three people on the first day of the apocalypse. His younger brother Jiang Jingyang was in school, and his parents were at home. Later, he was disturbed by unknown interference and could not detect them again.
Unlike Lin Yang, who was used to being raised alone and was indifferent to his family, Jiang Jingchao had a good relationship with his family. Lin Yang could not empathize with him in this regard and did not know what to say to comfort him. He could only pat him on the shoulder and said, "Chaozi, it's okay. As long as the people are still alive and safe, we will definitely find them. We will all help you together."
Although Gu Yicheng on the side did not say anything, he gave Jiang Jingchao a soothing look.
When the apocalypse broke out in his previous life, he and Lin Yang were in the imperial capital. Jiang Jingchao had joined a competition organized by a university temporarily, and happened to go to S city to participate in the competition the day before. The three of them separated from each other in the apocalypse and never met again. Later, Gu Yicheng found out that although Jiang Jingchao did not die in S city and found his family, he died in the hands of a fourth-level mutant zombie during a rescue operation. This was also one of the most regrettable things in his previous life.
Although he was reborn in this life, he only had time to take a plane with Lin Yang from the imperial capital to S City and intercepted him at the place where he was training before the exam.
He did not have time to help his family settle him down. Otherwise, this situation would not have happened.
Even if there is no way to get Chaozi back to City B before the end of the world, at least the other three people in their family can stay together, instead of two at home and one at school. I don't even know where to find them first.
**
On the way to the new campus in City B.
The car had been moving forward for a short while when Gu Yichen suddenly frowned, tilted his head to glance out the window, a hint of doubt flashing across his dark pupils.
At this time, Ruan Ning had just finished looking at the map of the new campus in City B and noted down several key places, including the locations of the three school gates, the boys' dormitory of the Philosophy Department, four canteens, and two on-campus supermarkets.
Everyone in their team must remember this map clearly in their minds. The campus of B University is very large, covering an area of more than 2,000 acres. There are also many dangers inside. Even a rescue team of several hundred people dare not step in casually.
In case everyone in the university is accidentally dispersed by unexpected circumstances, if everyone knows the approximate distribution of University B, then one person will not be lost like a headless fly in there.
Ruan Ning noticed Gu Yicheng looking out the window, and followed his gaze, but didn't see anything special. The streets outside were still as desolate as before, with a few scattered zombies occasionally seen. The surrounding trees, which used to be leafless, had now abnormally shed their leaves. The entire street looked lifeless, revealing a sense of desolation.
"Brother, what's wrong? Did you discover something?" Ruan Ning asked this because she always felt that the behavior of the group of zombies following the rescue team was a little abnormal, as if someone was controlling them from behind.
...For example, psychic zombies.
It is easy to deal with psychic zombies if you don't let them grow. However, once you allow them to grow, the more low-level zombies they can control, the more powerful and destructive they will be.
However, this was just her guess for now. Ruan Ning had never fought against a mental zombie before, and she didn't know how such an intelligent zombie would act.
"It's okay for now. I just feel that something is a bit strange around me." Gu Yichen narrowed his eyes and looked at the places on the street where people could hide, but did not find anything unusual.
Jiang Jingchao heard the conversation between Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng from the front seat and echoed, "Brother Gu, I still haven't found any other abnormal mental fluctuations."
When Gu Yicheng rescued Dr. Chen and others, he had already discovered the suspicious situation of the rescue team being besieged by zombies. When most of the troops were resting on the spot, he asked Jiang Jingchao to use his supernatural powers to explore the surrounding situation, but at that time, he did not find anything abnormal.
There are only two possibilities that could lead to this situation. One is that they are overthinking and the zombies do not exist. The other is that the zombie that controls the zombie group does exist, and its psychic ability is higher than Jiang Jingchao's ability level.
Although Jiang Jingchao's psychic ability was more difficult to upgrade than other common abilities, he had successfully upgraded it to level 2 a few days ago. In other words, if the psychic zombie existed, it would be at least level 3, and it was more likely to have already reached level 3.
Without any stimulating factors, zombies rarely gather together to hunt humans. So the first possibility is very small, and the second possibility is very high.
But subjectively, Gu Yicheng still hoped that this time the situation belonged to the first one. Whether it was a third-level psycho zombie or a second-level psycho zombie, he didn't want to encounter any of them.
Especially since there are so many zombies on the B University campus, this operation is unpredictable. If this psychic zombie follows them all the way to B University, no one can guarantee that this psychic zombie will not make their trip to B University even more difficult.
A first-level psychic zombie may only be able to control a few low-level zombies, a second-level zombie can control dozens, and a third-level zombie can control hundreds. By the fourth and fifth levels, it can control thousands of zombies. By the sixth level, it is not impossible to control tens of thousands of zombies.
In the previous life, the psychic zombie that lurked in the center of S City was a fifth-level zombie. As long as it was in a place with many zombies, one of it could fight against thousands of zombies. It was notoriously difficult to deal with. The No. 3 Base in B City had sent many high-level psychics there, but they didn't even get to see it and returned in disappointment.
In his previous life, when Gu Yicheng was plotted against and left alone, planning to self-destruct and die with the Zombie King, the fifth-level spiritual zombie was still alive and well in City S, hiding behind a large group of zombies and having no rivals. It was unknown whether its strength would grow further.
If Gu Yicheng had not appeared in advance in this life and nipped the danger in the bud, City S would probably have once again fallen under its control and become a dead city.
The more psychic zombies evolve, the more cunning they become. Fighting against such zombies is more troublesome than dealing with zombies of a higher level.
…
From the place where they rescued the rescue team to the new campus of B University, it would take no more than half an hour to walk on the viaduct when the road was clear. However, after the apocalypse, even if they were rushing, it took several more hours.
By the time they arrived at the west gate of B, it was already late at night.
The car did not stop directly at the gate, but near a building under construction.
It was quiet all around.
Unlike the North Gate and South Gate, which are close to the neighborhood, the West Gate is just a side gate with no shops nearby and surrounded by some undeveloped buildings. Even the bus does not go here. Therefore, few students usually pass through here.
Simon is too quiet, and in this silence, one feels very uneasy.
Looking from here, the B University not far away is pitch black. There is not a trace of light in the entire campus, as if it is a black hole that will swallow everything, with countless unknown dangers hidden in it.
