Chapter 78 Reappearance of Civilization
The players didn't give the researchers much time to figure out how to open the door.
"There's a key figure in this rescue operation, named Gu Letong. Is he there? We need to keep a close watch on his safety." One player couldn't help but reveal the name of the target.
The researchers looked at each other, and finally the man who was walking at the front stepped forward and said, "I am Gu Letong."
The player who had asked the question was overjoyed and quickly walked up to the refined-looking man. "Mr. Gu, the main reason we organized this trip is for you."
The man looked puzzled. He was just an ordinary employee at the research institute. How could he be so important?
"First of all, thank you. Secondly, you must take my colleague with you, otherwise I will not go with you." The man appeared determined to stand by his colleague through thick and thin.
Having identified the key figures, the other players were merely incidental and readily agreed, "Of course we'll take you along. You're all research talents, and we won't leave any of you out."
Hearing this promise, the man felt relieved.
The player who had asked who Gu Letong was clung tightly to the man's arm, as if afraid he would disappear at any moment.
The player's teammates surrounded the man, forming a protective circle. The other players didn't want to fall out at this point, so they discussed sending a few researchers from each team to accompany him.
These are highly educated individuals, and as long as they prove useful when brought back to the base, their contributions will be credited to them.
There were a total of six player teams and twenty-six researchers on site. Since Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing were only in a team of two, they were assigned two female researchers who looked rather frail. The rest were divided among the five player teams.
Since Wei Yanqing opened the door, the players let him choose someone to take care of first. He chose a female researcher with a low ponytail, black-rimmed glasses, and delicate features. Rong Yi followed suit and chose someone with a similar temperament.
The personnel have been assigned, and now we need to go back to base.
Upon reaching the gate, a researcher tried to step forward to enter the password to open it, but the iron gate clicked open.
They didn't see clearly who did it, but they knew there must be some hidden talents in the team, and perhaps the rescue was genuine.
A few zombies came in from outside, but the player quickly dispatched them.
As soon as Wei Yanqing fired his gun, the female researcher wearing black-rimmed glasses moved slightly behind Rong Yi.
Bang--
Gunshots suddenly rang out. Rong Yi was startled by the deafening noise and lowered his head slightly. When he looked back, he saw a player raising a gun and shooting someone next to him.
Seriously? They turned on each other as soon as we stepped out the door?
At least search near the base.
"Come here!" Wei Yanqing grabbed her arm and pulled her to the back of the car, and the two researchers followed very readily.
"What are you doing! Why are you killing your own teammate?!" shouted the player's teammate. He hadn't killed any other players, but the player he was paired with.
The player who fired the shot had a blank expression and lifeless eyes. When his teammate raised his gun to aim at him, he tried to kill someone again, but his teammate took care of him first.
Rong Yi was stunned. What the hell? His teammates turned against each other?
"Something nearby is using psychic abilities," Wei Yanqing said from the side.
Rong Yi's eyes widened. Another psychic zombie? That's too easy to deal with.
As the controlled player fell, a horde of zombies came running from not far away, each one like a mad dog.
“They’re all level three.” Wei Yanqing had dealt with level three zombies before and was very familiar with their mental abilities.
Rong Yi took out his rifle and calmly began firing small bursts.
"I'll break up the zombie horde later, you go find the one controlling them." Wei Yanqing also took out his gun, even though his marksmanship was terrible, he still had to contribute something this time.
Rong Yi fought the zombies like they were toys, "Okay."
Other players also deployed items to shield themselves, with wide black shields providing cover.
The players worked together to clear the zombie horde, which visibly decreased, while the researchers remained hidden in the back without saying a word.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, those players caused another problem, killing their teammates with guns.
Rong Yi wasn't paying attention to that side. Their car was about three meters away from the other players, and they were on the side of the car. Since the zombies didn't have guns, hiding next to the car was mainly to avoid players with guns.
“Okay, run over there and then to the other side.” Wei Yanqing pointed to the building on the left, where there was a path between the two buildings.
Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure? Their situation is constantly changing, what if it affects you?"
"Don't worry, we need to deal with the one behind it to completely resolve the situation. Otherwise, don't even think about returning to base safely."
With Wei Yanqing's confirmation, Rong Yi quickly put away his rifle and switched to a pistol.
The two researchers remained hidden the entire time, and they immediately followed the slightest movement Wei Yanqing made.
Just kidding, their lives now depend entirely on these two.
·
Rong Yi wasn't afraid of dealing with psychopathic zombies, but he was annoyed by the bodyguards around them.
There were other people present earlier. Wei Yanqing didn't say it explicitly, but someone transmitted a message to her that the psychic zombie was evenly matched with him.
Zombies of this caliber must have bodyguards of a high rank.
Following Wei Yanqing's instructions, she avoided the zombies along the path and quickly approached the location of the mental zombie.
"I pretended to set up a mental shield for you, so it didn't detect that you are immune to mental power," Wei Yanqing transmitted his voice.
Rong Yi leaped over the obstacle, saying, "Got it, just wait and see what it gets."
These kinds of zombies are intelligent and can definitely make a surprised expression.
The psychic zombies are in the building opposite the research institute, but it's a bit tall, a full twenty stories.
Rong Yi has no shortage of strength; running up stairs is no different from running on flat ground.
She had only reached the tenth floor when a level four zombie blocked her way, preventing her from going any further.
Rong Yi swallowed hard, then quickly grabbed the zombie's shoulder, delivered a powerful knee strike to its abdomen, and followed up with a straight kick. The zombie staggered backward, and before it could regain its footing, Rong Yi raised one of his long legs and swept a high whip kick across its temple. With a crack, the zombie's neck couldn't withstand the force of the whip kick and snapped.
On the tenth floor, Rong Yi encountered thirteen level-four zombies, all of which she dealt with in a few moves.
Then she realized that her strength seemed to have improved.
The twentieth floor was just in sight. Rong Yi had just opened the door to the stairwell when a fist came flying from the side. She instinctively ducked to avoid it.
The only difference between this zombie and a normal person is that its skin and eye color are abnormal; otherwise, it is intact and even looks quite normal.
“A level 5 zombie should be an earth-type zombie,” Wei Yanqing reminded him.
Rong Yi's first thought was, "It's not the metal element."
There were no roars or ferocity; the zombie in front of him looked very calm. You could tell that he was a handsome young man in his previous life, with a handsome face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, Rong Yi took the lead, throwing punches with both hands. The zombie quickly shook its head to dodge, and the fists grazed its cheeks.
After missing a combo, Rong Yi remained calm and raised his foot to kick, only to have his ankle grabbed by the zombie.
She used the leg she was standing on to propel her entire body into the air, then used her hooked leg to kick it across the neck, before using the hooked leg to bring it down to the ground with her.
