Chapter 29 Final Mission
After Yingyi said this, Lianyi understood. They were worried that there might be lunatics sneaking in. Sun Yi's perception ability could identify them, so she left the task of cleaning up the stronghold to Tuying, and she went to the cellar to look for Tongying.
It is called a cellar, but in fact it is just a hole dug in the ground, and the location is quite hidden, with one hole inside another, and many people are locked up inside.
When Lianyi passed by, he saw his teammates retreating from the innermost part. They looked obviously not well, especially Sun Yi, who was helped out by his teammates.
"Sun Yi, what's wrong?"
"They are not human beings, they are beasts!"
Sun Yi just said this with a pale face.
The teammate who was supporting her gritted his teeth and said:
"The innermost cave is a slaughterhouse"
"I understand. Help Tongying go out and have a rest."
Lianyi waved her hands and sighed secretly. This was why they chose to silence all the witnesses in this operation.
Afterwards, the prisoners crawled out of the cave one after another. They were not even used to the light of the flashlight. Their bodies shrank, their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear. The women were in even worse condition. Not a single part of their bodies was intact.
There was also a gentle and handsome man among these people. The first thing he asked when he crawled out was:
"Have you met my wife and daughter?"
When he asked, he clenched his fists, obviously very forbearing.
Lianyi also noticed this man. He was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white shirt and black pants. His gentle and handsome face was adorned with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, giving him the impression of a senior white-collar worker.
"All the people we rescued are here. See if your wife and daughter are among them."
A special forces soldier said calmly, but the gun hanging on his chest seemed to be pointing at the other party.
The man said nothing more. His eyes were fixed on the people climbing out of the hole one by one. The light in his eyes gradually faded.
"No! Is there anyone else?"
The man asked unwillingly.
"We also killed a group of zombies they kept in captivity. You can go and identify them."
This time it was Lianyi who spoke.
“No, they won’t, they promised me.”
The man said subconsciously.
"Promise you what?"
"They promised me that as long as I followed their instructions, they would not harm my wife and daughter."
The man seemed to be shocked, and his words were almost inaudible.
"When was the last time you saw them?"
Ripple continued to ask.
"Ten days ago! I calculated the days. These two days are when I will meet my wife and daughter. But they said there is a big mission and I must participate. They promised that after I complete the mission, they will let me reunite with my wife and daughter for three days."
The man immediately spoke loudly.
"They are using your wife and daughter as hostages to control you. You must have something special. Would you like to tell me about it?"
Ripple asked in a nice voice.
"I can control zombies."
The man hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"I see!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on. After all, among all the prisoners, this man was the only one who had no injuries on his body except that he was in a bad condition.
"Please be prepared, your wife and daughter may have been killed!"
Lianyi said regretfully, and then took the man to the place where the battlefield was cleaned up.
As soon as he arrived at the place, the man rushed towards a naked female zombie, held her wrist, and began to cry silently.
"Are you sure this is your wife?"
"She has a heart-shaped birthmark on her wrist. I won't mistake it."
The man's eyes were red and he spoke in a choked voice.
“Please accept my condolences!”
Then, Lianyi gave the space to the man who exuded a sad aura.
"Many skeletons were found in the innermost cave, mostly those of children and women. I'm afraid this person's child is in great danger."
Earth Eagle came over and stood next to Ripple and Hawkwing and whispered.
He was responsible for burying the skeletons in the cave. The things found in the warehouse were collected partly by the space ability user and partly by Lianli.
Lian Yi looked at the heartbroken man, her eyes flickered, and she whispered:
"It's a pity that he did something that helped the tyrant for the sake of his wife and daughter. Otherwise, it would be good for him to stay in our team."
Several people noticed that the man who was crying sadly not far away paused with his shaking shoulders, and then continued to cry silently.
Eagle Wing turned his head to look at Lianyi, who shrugged at him, then made a gesture of wiping his neck while turning around.
After clearing the base, the fifty or so rescued survivors were wolfing down the compressed dry food in their hands. After choking, they took a sip of water in the cup.
Sun Yi also recovered and walked to the front, saying loudly:
"We are a corpse-hunting team from W City who are on a mission. Our next stop is L City. We can send you to the survivor base there. You can go there to register and collect some personal supplies."
The numb survivors were stunned for a moment before they reacted:
"Thank you!"
"Thank you, lady!"
“We finally have a way to survive.”
Only the man lowered his head, holding the biscuits and paper cup in his hands, and did not respond immediately.
When the survivors were settled in the house to rest, the man walked over to Yingyi and Lianyi, bowed respectfully to them, and then said with red eyes:
"Thank you for killing these beasts, avenging my wife and daughter, and giving them a decent burial."
"You're welcome. I just did it for the sake of convenience. Who allowed these scum to set their sights on us? They want to swallow us up, and they are not afraid of breaking their teeth!"
Ripple said casually.
"Your smooth action is a life-saving grace for us survivors."
The man paused for a moment, as if he had mustered up his courage, and then continued:
"Can I join you? My special abilities are very useful and can definitely help you!
It is because of this ability that I am still alive today, but for the sake of my wife and daughter, I was controlled by these lunatics and did many things against my will, so I want to atone for my sins."
Eagle Wing and Ripple looked at each other, and then Eagle Wing said:
"How many zombies can you control at once?"
"There are one thousand of level zero and one hundred of level one."
The man said without hesitation.
"Your special ability is indeed rare and will be very helpful to us in completing the corpse hunting mission. Are you sure you want to join us? If you return to the surviving base in L City, there should be many teams willing to accept you."
"But you are my savior, and you are the one who avenged my wife and daughter. I only obey you."
The man was firm in his attitude.
"Okay, come with us tomorrow."
Eagle Wing nodded with great satisfaction.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
The man raised his hand to adjust his glasses, and his expression became much more relaxed.
The next second, his face changed, and a bullet was blocked in front of him by his supernatural power, while Eagle Wing's water arrows, Ripple's thunder balls and Earth Eagle's earth thorns also greeted him at the same time.
