Chapter 181 The Original Female Lead Who Was Used as Cannon Fodder 31
Hope Base's defenses were already in ruins, the metal walls were twisted and deformed, large sections of the defensive layers reinforced by the superhumans had peeled off, and purplish-black blood scabs were congealed on the battlements.
Beyond the city walls, scorched earth stretched to the horizon, and the deep craters left by the explosion resembled scars on the earth. The bottom of the craters was filled with murky pools of blood and severed limbs, emitting a nauseating stench.
The scene was too bloody and gruesome, and Ruan Yunzhen didn't want to stay any longer. At this time, Lin Wuque had also regained some of his mobility, so she simply pulled him away.
Zhao Chenxiao couldn't help but turn back to look at their departing figures, then forced himself to look away and continued clearing the remaining zombies.
With the zombie king dead, the remaining zombies posed no threat to Zhao Chenxiao, making the cleanup effortless.
He quickly killed all the zombies of level five and above, handed over the remaining cleanup work to the deputy base chief, and headed straight for the villa where Ruan Yunzhen and her companion lived.
The two had just finished washing up, and Lin Wuque was drying Ruan Yunzhen's hair.
Hearing the annoying doorbell ring, Lin Wuque's temples bulged with veins, and the hairdryer creaked as he squeezed it, its plastic casing cracking slightly.
Why do people always come to disturb him and his master?
Lin Wuque twitched the corners of his mouth, slowly curving into a chilling smile.
"Master, please wait a moment, I will be back soon."
Before Ruan Yunzhen could speak, Lin Wuque took the initiative to speak.
Seeing Lin Wuque's murderous strides, Ruan Yunzhen said, "Spare his life."
With a hint of indulgent helplessness in his tone, Lin Wuque paused, the murderous intent surging in his chest instantly subsided, and a sweet feeling crept into his heart.
Sure enough, the master still valued him; those ants couldn't compare to him at all!
Feeling the sudden surge of love, Ruan Yunzhen silently curled the corners of her lips.
Lin Wuque opened the door and saw Zhao Chenxiao standing outside, his eyes filled with a barely perceptible urgency.
Lin Wuque's face immediately darkened. "What are you doing here?"
A wisp of black mist quietly spread out and wrapped around Zhao Chenxiao's legs.
Zhao Chenxiao felt a chill run down his spine, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
Although they are at the same level, one has just broken through and is exhausted, while the other has rested for a while and has basically recovered, even his superpowers have been mostly restored. The difference is not small.
Zhao Chenxiao understood the source of Lin Wuque's hostility towards him. Not wanting to cause conflict, he quickly explained his purpose.
"The base plans to organize a team to go to the Savior Base now. I'd like to ask if you two would like to come with us? If you feel it's too rushed, we'll send you there at the agreed time."
Many people were scratched by zombies during this battle, and he must go to the Savior's base to bring back the antidote before they become completely zombified.
They didn't just sit idly by after receiving the antidote; they naturally launched a series of corresponding studies, though they haven't been able to fully understand it yet, but they have managed to develop a weaker version.
The weakened antidote cannot completely eliminate the zombie toxin, but it can delay the zombification of infected people.
What Zhao Chenxiao needs to do now is to seize this time difference and save all the injured people.
Lin Wuque paused, then reluctantly stepped aside. "Come in."
Zhao Chenxiao looked down at the bloodstains all over his body, then at the clean white space inside the room. He rubbed his hands nervously and cautiously stepped inside.
After entering the house, Zhao Chenxiao met Ruan Yunzhen and explained his purpose again.
Ruan Yunzhen tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, "Since we can go to the Savior's Base at any time, why did you set the time for a week later before?"
Zhao Chenxiao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this.
"This is stipulated by the Savior Base; the departure times for each base are arranged uniformly by them."
Taking advantage of its monopoly on antidotes, the Savior Base deliberately established a series of harsh rules, including strictly limiting the time for each base to visit. If a visit is not made during the designated time period, no matter how important the matter is, the base will not receive the visitor.
These restrictive rules are nothing more than a way to highlight their superior status.
In order to obtain the life-saving medicine, these bases had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
However, for the sake of those who were fighting so hard to protect the base, he had to break this rule.
It was his advancement to level eight that gave him confidence, since, as far as he knew, there was no one at level eight in the Savior Base.
Ruan Yunzhen smiled sarcastically. "She's really getting arrogant now that she's achieved her goal." She wondered if Zhou Shihan's actions had revealed the secret of the jade bracelet.
