No one looked away.
Jack tried to see hatred, regret, or hostility in Chu Xinxin's eyes, but he found none. Chu Xinxin stood on high, her gaze indifferent, calmly watching him.
It's like looking at a lifeless object.
She was as cold as the goddess of creation behind her.
From the end of the street came the sound of orderly footsteps, the roar of armored vehicle engines, and the scraping sound of something heavy rolling over the ground.
Chu Xinxin and Squad 01 were instantly targeted by cannons and countless black gun barrels.
"Without absolute military force, everything is just empty talk."
Jack waved his hand and ordered, "Take them all away. If they resist, execute them on the spot..."
Chu Xinxin refused to believe it, and before Jack could finish speaking, she fired a shot at him.
Jack reacted quickly, dodging the attack and then firing a shot back at Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xin's heart pounded as she climbed onto the statue of the Goddess of Creation. The next second, a cannon roared down.
"Can't!"
Devout believers rushed over like madmen to protect the statue, but they were no match for the cannons at close range.
The statue of the Goddess of Creation was shattered into countless pieces, which scattered in all directions.
Amidst the rising dust, Jack seemed to hear the girl's silvery laughter.
"Hello?"
All the broadcasts, AI systems, radios... all the devices at Base S that could produce sound started playing simultaneously at that moment.
The chaotic crowd paused for two seconds.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, then all looked up at the source of the sound—
The giant screen in the central square displayed two large words: Truth.
"What is that?! Turn it off right now!"
Jack sensed something was wrong and shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one paid any attention to him; everyone's attention was completely drawn to the screen.
"Hello everyone, I am Chu Xinxin, a researcher at the Rescue Institute."
"I'd like to tell you two things..."
"The first thing concerns General Si Beiting..."
Jack pushed through the crowd and walked forward, but when the smoke cleared and the fragments of the statues scattered on the ground were gone, Chu Xinxin was nowhere to be seen.
But her voice continued.
She used the radio to describe in detail everything that happened in the city of death that day.
"The general, entrusted by the city lord, went to District 11 to hunt down the zombie king. Just when he was about to succeed, he was blown up into a poisonous cave by Lieutenant General Jack and his 'own men'..."
"...Gentlemen, the general has risked his life for the base and made countless contributions. Are you all more capable than him?"
"Who knows if the way he was treated will one day be the same as yours?"
"She's lying!" Jack's anger surged to its peak. "Si Beiting was arrogant and greedy for credit; he was already dead when I arrived!"
"To find out the truth, everyone should watch this video..."
Immediately afterwards, a clear video was uploaded.
The video was taken by the electronic surveillance system of Team 01.
At the time, the electronic eye was located high in the sky and recorded everything that happened completely and clearly.
Jack had no way to defend himself.
The city lord's mansion was also in complete chaos.
"Cut off all signals immediately!"
"Sir, the signal has been cut off long ago, but the communication is still going on!"
"Pass down the order to arrest Chu Xinxin and Squad 01!"
The city lord's guards came out in full force.
Chu Xinxin's call continued: "The second thing is, I will choose to join Base C. Anyone who wants to get vaccinated is welcome to join Base C. Goodbye..."
With communications interrupted, the city lord's mansion finally regained control of the signal.
The city lord's voice was weary: "Seal off the base and bring the people back."
"Lord, so what if she escaped to Base C? With a strong military, I don't believe Base C won't hand her over."
vaccine?
Would C base dare to take it all for itself?
"Take a look." The city lord tossed a report in front of him. "There are still many unsolved mysteries surrounding Professor Chu..."
Jack picked it up, and his report was concise and to the point, stating three main points:
First, Chu Xinxin has an extremely strong recovery ability. After being bitten by a zombie, her wound was smooth again in less than a week.
Secondly, Chu Xinxin was able to escape unscathed from the massive horde of zombies.
Third, Chu Xinxin is suspected of being able to command a large number of zombies.
Jack's heart skipped a beat: "Where did this report come from?"
"Wei Yan and Allen reported it." The city lord didn't want to say too much, he just waved his hand, telling Jack to make sure to bring the people back.
"Jack, I know you hate her, but with zombies lurking and humanity in crisis, you must put aside your personal grudges..."
Jack lowered his head to hide his anger: "Yes."
......
Chu Xinxin was unable to leave Base S.
Jack sealed the door shut.
He even arrested Jiang Mo and Wei Yan to threaten her.
The city lord said that Chu Xinxin should not be harmed, but he did not say that her friends and assistants should not be harmed.
"Professor Chu, don't go," David advised.
They didn't go anywhere; they hid in the research institute.
Director Wu was tied up in a corner by Chu Xinxin. The search team had already been to the research institute, so it was safe here for the time being.
Chu Xinxin shook her head: "I have something to ask the city lord."
Alice stood in front of the door: "Professor Chu, we'll help you rescue your friend. You and David should try to get out of the city first."
“I will not leave; I just want to clear his name.”
The city lord and Jack are still alive and well, so why would she leave?
Chu Xinxin said calmly, "After I appear, the city's security will be relaxed. Take advantage of that time to go back to Base C."
"Professor Chu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Lyle leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Always perceptive, he felt that Chu Xinxin had other plans.
He said, "Just say the word, and we will definitely support you."
"Then please take a few more photos of the beach for me."
After Chu Xinxin finished speaking, she walked past Alice and left.
Lyle watched her retreating figure for a moment, then picked up his weapon and patted Ryan on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go rescue them."
David was still struggling with the decision: "The boss is gone. If we don't protect Professor Chu well, I'm afraid the boss will come looking for me tonight."
“He’s coming to you, tell him to get lost!” Lyle jumped up and slapped David on the head. “And tell him you’ll take good care of his wife, so he can go without worry.”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really too scared to sleep tonight."
Lyle muttered to himself, "He has the desire but not the courage."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Alice looking at him with a meaningful gaze.
Grass!
Lyle muttered to himself, "How can Alice read minds like that..."
......
Chu Xinxin entered the city lord's mansion alone.
"Professor Chu, I am deeply sorry for the mistake Jack made."
The city lord bowed to Chu Xinxin.
Chu Xinxin did not avoid it, but accepted it calmly.
"So, why is it that Si Beiting absolutely has to die?"
Chu Xinxin didn't even glance at Jack; her eyes were fixed solely on the city lord.
Jack was annoyed by the dismissive attitude, but he could only suppress it in front of the city lord.
"Professor Chu, do you know why the Zombie King didn't choose anyone else, but instead tricked the general into joining?"
Chu Xinxin raised her eyes.
The city lord smiled: "Because they are of the same kind..."
