Chapter 72 Chapter 72 [Exploration Completed! Earn 300 Points...
Yanshi Medical University is located in the East District, which is why Ye Mian came to find Pei Ming and the others first.
When Pei Ming heard her destination, he didn't ask for the reason. He just reminded her, "We've cleaned it up there. Because of the mutation, all the drugs, reagents, and equipment inside were damaged. There's nothing valuable left."
"It doesn't matter. I was asked to find some personnel information. There's nothing I can do if I can't find it."
Ye Mian only mentioned one of the reasons and did not mention the more important reason.
But obviously, Pei Ming didn't need to know so much.
"Then follow me."
The university town is very large. Even the eastern district alone is much larger than some small rural towns, so public transportation such as buses and minibuses can be seen everywhere.
Although Ye Mian had carrot juice and could find it on his own, it would definitely be faster and easier with someone leading the way, and he could also use this opportunity to deliberately owe Pei Ming a favor.
Whenever they need help in the future, they will turn to her first.
After all, the battle of Yanshi should not be far away.
I just don’t know how many advanced mutants there are in Yan City and whether they are easy to deal with.
Ye Mian withdrew her gaze towards the urban area of Yanshi City, and saw Pei Ming, who was leading the way in front, stopped and turned back to signal to her that they had arrived at their destination.
"In front is the affiliated hospital, and the research institute is inside."
Seeing Pei Ming controlling himself to jump over the dilapidated but still intact hospital gate, while still having enough time to turn around and explain the situation to her, Ye Mian raised her eyebrows slightly.
His skill is quite good. It can be used in combat and has multiple auxiliary effects, such as teleportation, jumping, sprinting, etc., which are not particularly powerful. He can also save teammates through control at critical moments.
This is just the strength after one upgrade. If it is upgraded once more and transformed into a complete form like her [Eye of Truth], it will be enough for him to dominate in this doomsday.
The same goes for Wen Yuan.
It is estimated that there are many other evolvers who also possess such powerful skills.
The only problem is that mutants improve much faster than evolvers. When high-level mutants begin to devour the larger number of intermediate mutants, no one knows what the world will become.
By then, can her farm really continue to exist as a place of refuge?
Although it may sound a bit unfounded, we should indeed be mentally prepared in advance.
After all, the farm's defenses are graded and not absolutely safe.
“It’s right here.”
Pei Ming's voice brought Ye Mian back to her senses. She looked at the buildings in the institute, which were damaged beyond imagination, and was a little surprised: "Is there a high-level mutant?"
"I don't know." Pei Ming's expression was a little complicated when he talked about this. "When we came to clean up, there were only low-level ones. We didn't even see a single intermediate mutant. And because we came early and there weren't many people left in the university town, there weren't many intermediate ones in the entire East District."
It seems that he also suspected that there might be a more powerful mutant that left first.
As to whether he went to the west district or entered the urban area of Yanshi, it is unknown.
And after such a long time, even if I see it again, I can't tell where it came from.
Ye Mian nodded: "Go in."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked into the research institute step by step.
Pei Ming thought that she would directly thank him for leading the way and then hint that he should leave first, so he paused when he saw this and then followed her.
——Although he didn't ask much, he was actually quite curious. Did she have any other purpose for coming here?
Just as Pei Ming said before he came, every part of the research institute had been completely destroyed. The paper materials were either torn to pieces or stained with some liquid, and the words on them had all melted away.
However, some identity-related information can still be found in some independent offices.
Some even have complete photos preserved.
Ye Mian checked them one by one, wrote down their names and appearances, and finally came to a special experimental center.
There was a big hole on the outside of the building, and it looked shaky, but the space inside was surprisingly well preserved, with just some mess and signs of fighting.
Pei Ming said: "This place was like this when we came here before. There weren't even any mutants inside. We can only guess that there might have been researchers staying here before the mutation, and then a battle was triggered."
Judging from the situation, the mutants are clearly in the upper hand.
After saying that, he stared at Ye Mian calmly. She didn't look like a medical student. When she checked those offices just now, she was indeed looking for someone. She was not interested in the remaining research materials at all.
But why would we make a special trip to the experimental center when we know there will be no gain?
But Ye Mian just looked at the entire central area thoughtfully, without showing any strange expression, and then began to check each laboratory one by one.
She stopped only after she reached the innermost laboratory on the second floor, where one wall was missing due to a hole.
[You have arrived at the designated exploration location "Yanshi Medical University Affiliated Research Institute Experimental Center", please start exploring! ]
Looking at the text box that finally popped up, Ye Mian felt a little helpless. After completing the last batch of side quests, another batch of side quests popped up. However, what he didn't expect was that the new exploration tasks were no longer marking coordinates, but giving the exact location.
What was even more unexpected was that the research institute was a campus, not concentrated in one building.
Fortunately, she asked Pei Ming to help lead the way, otherwise it would have taken her a long time to find the place by herself.
After walking in, Ye Mian finally remembered to ask, "Have you searched inside?"
It seems her real destination is this laboratory.
Pei Ming suppressed his thoughts, nodded and shook his head: "I just took a rough look, because our main goal is still supplies."
"Hmm."
Ye Mian had a rough idea in his mind, and then concentrated on searching in places like secret drawers, the backs of cabinets, and dark crevices.
Just when Pei Ming was about to turn the laboratory upside down with her, he saw her suddenly touch something. Her expression paused slightly, and then she pulled the thing she found out from the deep of the drawer with force.
It was a well-preserved file bag, tightly wrapped with several layers of tape.
[Exploration completed! Obtained 300 points, rhenium crystal x3! ]
Ye Mian paused. The side quest was actually given directly to Ruo Jing?
Pei Ming on the side did not think much about it, he just thought it was some experimental data that needed to be kept confidential, which was one of the information that Ye Mian was asked to find.
So when Ye Mian opened the file bag on the spot and handed him a portion of the handwritten document that he had read, he was stunned for a moment: "What is this?"
The handwriting on the paper was clear and delicate. At a glance, Pei Ming had almost understood the lines of diary-like experimental records, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
This is a record of mutants, and it started in mid-February and lasted until the end of the month when the mutations officially broke out.
During this time, Ye Mian had already read the last record at a glance: "The people on March 9th are still here, and there is also a mutant who is conscious."
“……” Pei Ming opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
How can she be so calm?
The mutant had self-awareness nearly two months ago, how far has it grown now?
Is that researcher still alive?
If still alive, is the experiment still going on?
After a long while, he finally found his voice: "Are you here to look for this person?"
Of course not.
If it wasn't for the side exploration mission released by the system, she would never have thought of raiding a research institute with no people and no mutants.
Ye Mian put the records down and continued to search elsewhere: "No, it's just that my skills are related to my eyes, and I can see things that others can't see."
And not surprisingly, she didn't find anything else.
Clapping his hands, Ye Mian looked at Pei Ming, who had already read all the records: "I want to take this away, do you need a copy?"
"...No need, Xiu has a photographic memory."
"Um."
After finishing the matter here, the two of them returned along the same way they came.
Ning Zixiu had also counted all the materials she had exchanged for again and arranged the daily quantities. When she saw Pei Ming coming back, she was about to talk to him about continuing to collect rhenium stones and rhenium crystals, but was stuffed with a stack of paper documents first.
After she quickly read it, she showed the same reaction as Pei Ming just now, surprise and disbelief.
But his mind worked faster: "If this person and this mutant are still alive, are they still in the university town or Yan City!?"
Ye Mian took back the file bag she handed over and hummed, "The probability is very high. Even if the person is not here, the mutant must be here."
Hearing this, Ning Zixiu and Pei Ming couldn't help but look at each other, and saw the difficulty in each other's eyes.
The reason why they have been able to hold on to the university town is, on the one hand, because of the special terrain and design, and on the other hand is also due to the contribution of Ruan Wenli from the West District.
Whenever a mutant appears that looks difficult to deal with, Ruan Wenli will find a way to transfer it to a trap dug in advance to avoid a head-on confrontation.
But that skill has limited uses and is not a long-term solution.
Now tell them that there is a mutant in Yan City that mutated half a month in advance and retained clear consciousness?
Ye Mian was also thinking about this problem, but he was thinking about how to find the mutant.
Before the search, she said goodbye to Pei Ming and the others and went to the west area of the university town, using the same method to attract the attention of everyone there.
But she did not meet Captain Ruan Wenli directly, but was taken to the top floor of an office building.
In stark contrast to the simplicity of Pei Ming's office, this office was extremely luxurious, with dark solid wood tables and chairs, reddish-brown leather sofas, coffee table glass that had been polished to a reflective finish, and someone even brought her a cup of hot tea made with a tea bag.
Ye Mian looked at the hot tea on the coffee table, then looked at the entire wall made of mirrors, and vaguely sensed something.
Just when she was about to get up and check the mirror wall, the office door was pushed open again, and a man who was wrapped tightly, wearing a baseball cap and hood on his head, with only a pair of dark eyes showing, walked in.
