"Ahem, well, why don't you guys continue?"
Seeing that the two had stopped fighting and were just staring at him without saying a word, Zhao Minghao felt extremely awkward.
Jiang Xue remained silent with a cold expression, creating a rather oppressive atmosphere.
At this moment, Yu Ling spoke first:
"Jiang Xue, why did you come here so urgently? Is something wrong with Zhou Yuan and the others?"
Tsk, this guy is quite alert.
Jiang Xue nodded slightly before giving the two a brief explanation of the troops' experience.
"Captain, you mean Brother Wang, he..."
Zhao Minghao was suddenly struck by this devastating news, and his emotions turned bitter. He couldn't help but blame Yu Ling for abducting him. But he also knew his place; an A-level rank wouldn't change anything if she stayed, and might even become one of the casualties.
That makes sense, as a power-type superhuman at the forefront, Wang Guoqiang is the one most likely to be sacrificed.
He just can't accept this fact right now.
"This is the damn apocalypse; even simply surviving is difficult..."
Jiang Xue said this to Yu Ling.
The meaning is self-evident.
This time, Yu Ling didn't explain anything, but instead took the blame for the original owner.
She is currently possessing Chen Xiaoqing's body, and according to the rules, her every word and action must conform to the original owner as much as possible, so that others cannot notice anything unusual.
Furthermore, Yu Ling herself didn't think highly of the original owner's behavior.
"We will live well."
Yu Ling said softly.
Then he looked at Zhao Minghao, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Vice Captain, you go back to the base with Captain Jiang Xue. I won't go back yet. The research is more important right now."
What a convenient excuse! With the zombie threat so great, what's wrong with her focusing on her research? Anyway, she doesn't want to go back to the base.
"How about I go with you... um... Captain?"
Just as Zhao Minghao was about to suggest going with Yu Ling, Jiang Xue grabbed him by the collar and dragged him aside with a sour face.
"You don't need him, I'll stay with you."
What a useless idiot! He's been brainwashed by this woman so quickly.
Jiang Xue felt a sense of frustration, like a subordinate she paid to support was now running off to do charity work for her rival for no reason.
"It would be great if you were willing to come, but shouldn't you go back and say hello to your teammates or something?"
It doesn't matter how many people follow me, and research isn't the most important thing. The main thing is that I still have to do the zombie-fighting mission when I get back to the base.
Zombies are so ugly and disgusting that Yu Ling really doesn't want to waste her energy looking at those eyesores.
Zhao Minghao clearly didn't want to go back to the base either. Seeing that Jiang Xue and Yu Ling were going back to the lab, he volunteered to go along and offered to help out.
The group turned back towards the laboratory.
Along the way, they only encountered a few scattered zombies wandering around, indicating that the area had already been cleared out by the hot-tempered Jiang Xue.
On the way, Yu Ling suddenly remembered that there were still some good things in the other damaged laboratories in the original owner's memory, so she suggested that she go to the nearby area to find some mechanical equipment.
Not far away, there is a small mountain of garbage. Climbing up from there, you can reach an illegally constructed building not far away, inside which is an abandoned laboratory. That place is the target that Yu Ling is looking for.
The path leading to the target building was through a dense jungle with only a few low-damage mutated plants and few zombies. Jiang Xue led the way alone, directing Zhao Minghao to clear away the obstructing weeds and trees as she went.
Judging from the looks of it, they clearly intend to visit many times in the future.
Shh... Shh...
At this moment, Jiang Xue, who had heard the commotion, suddenly stopped. She looked behind her, her brows furrowing. "What's going on?"
The two people beside them also stopped, noticing the unusual surroundings, and warily looked around.
Just then, a hoarse voice suddenly shouted: "Ah—! There's a living person?!"
The zombie was actually frightened by humans.
Jiang Xue immediately focused her lightning, aiming it at the suddenly appearing intelligent zombie, and warned, "It's a zombie! Everyone, be on guard!"
The unfortunate zombie looked at Jiang Xue with terror on his face, raising his hands and begging for mercy: "I'm a good zombie, I've never eaten anyone, please, please don't kill me..."
Jiang Xue showed no sign of stopping, demanding, "Where did you come from! What are you doing here?"
After saying that, he approached the location of the zombie.
The intelligent zombie was clearly not high-level; it didn't even have the courage to fight and was terrified. As soon as Jiang Xue approached, it turned tail and ran.
At that moment, a man dressed in white overalls, looking like an intellectual, appeared nearby, and the zombie scurried away, hiding behind him.
Jiang Xue recognized him at a glance: "Zhang Hewen?!"
Isn't this her junior high classmate and class monitor?! A familiar face! This is the first time they've met since she started high school.
"Jiang Xue!" The man was equally surprised to see Jiang Xue. He rushed towards her, asking, "What are you doing here?"
“Dr. Chen and I are planning to go to Lab 033 to get something. What about you? This place is so remote, what are you doing here?” Jiang Xue asked.
"You mean... Dr. Chen—Dr. Chen Xiaoqing??!"
Zhang Hewen looked at Yu Ling, who was standing not far away and trying to make herself inconspicuous, with a look of horror in his eyes.
Damn it, not again?
This time, the original owner's memories finally contained information about Zhang Hewen. In the early days of the apocalypse, when the original owner was raiding nearby laboratories, he seized the one where Zhang Hewen was located.
He's clearly a weak clerk who doesn't seem like much of a fighter, so how is he still alive?! The original owner even threw a virus into this lab when he left.
