Chapter 279 Dinosaur Rampage (8) - Search Base
Ji Shi invited Ning Shu to join him for two main reasons: first, she had saved his sister, and second, he had heard that she had some leads.
At the time, he didn't consider what the opponent's skills or items were, or whether they would become a burden to the team. Now it seems he made the right decision.
Some people in the team thought that Ji Shi was too kind, because she joined the team empty-handed, with only a map, and they were afraid that she would hold them back.
Seeing how strong she is now, I immediately felt relieved.
As usual, they drove around searching the basement first, but found nothing, and then prepared to go upstairs.
Ning Shu watched as Qiu Yong folded up the car, feeling it was incredibly convenient. He didn't even need to look for the car when he left; the car was right there with him.
Wen Fei first inspected the building and found that its electrical system had been damaged. It seemed that dinosaurs had visited the area, as some parts were severely damaged.
Ning Shu heard that Wen Fei majored in an electrical-related field in college and had also interned with experienced workers. He was an enthusiast in this area, so he could even repair some of the equipment.
The main reason Wen Fei could join this team even without skills or powerful items is precisely because of this.
Since not every instance requires this ability, Ji Shi assigned him an additional task: to collect information and analyze data.
Wen Fei reported to Ji Shi: "Brother Shi, the server room in this building has been destroyed by dinosaurs. It's estimated that someone is hiding inside. The server room is severely damaged and will be difficult to repair."
Ji Shi immediately responded: "Then there's no need to fix it. Everyone, take out your flashlights and go upstairs to search."
The group of seven formed a small team, with Ji Shi at the head, the burly Wang Bing at the rear, and the others in the middle.
Except for Ning Shu, everyone else was carrying a weapon.
Ji Shi was also holding a gun, while Zai Fumeng was only holding a pistol. She said that she didn't need her upgraded Gatling gun at this time.
Compared to the others who were on high alert, Ning Shu seemed to be patrolling as if he were surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
They searched from the first floor upwards, breaking down any closed doors they found to go inside; Ning Shu was the main force in this.
After all, her skill doesn't waste bullets, and the sound it makes isn't as loud as gunshots, so it's less likely to attract dinosaurs.
Along the way, they found bloodstains and corpses in several places in the building.
It must have been because people were attacked by dinosaurs before they could react.
The stench of a corpse filled the air, and Zaifu Meng wrinkled her little nose in disgust, saying, "It stinks so much."
Ning Shu and she were walking ahead and behind each other. After hearing this, she explained, "The office building doesn't have many windows that can be opened wide. It relies entirely on the ventilation system for air exchange. This is how it is when the power goes out. Just bear with it."
Wen Fei, who was walking ahead, agreed: "Miss Ning is right."
Ning Shu: "Just call me Ning Shu, or like Xiao Meng, you can call me 'older sister'."
Wen Fei joked, "Are you sure you're older than me?"
Ning Shu laughed: "I graduated from university more than a year ago, and you're still in school, right?"
Wen Fei said awkwardly, "Yes, I'm still a junior in college, but you look very young."
Ning Shu pointed out the truth: "It's probably because I'm not tall that I look small."
Ning Shu is 159.5 cm tall, which makes her the shortest among this group.
Wen Fei, fearing that Ning Shu would mind the topic, quickly stopped talking about it.
They searched the entire building and found a laboratory, but no trace of dinosaurs, so they had to leave and move on to the next location.
Zai Fumeng was unhappy: "Brother, how long will it take to find us at this rate?"
Why don't we just stop searching and plant explosives in every suspected location?
Ji Shi said helplessly, "First of all, we don't have that much explosives. Secondly, it takes a lot of explosives to blow up a building, not to mention there are so many points of attack."
Zai Fumeng gave a dejected "Oh".
Ning Shu felt that her method wasn't ineffective, but the conditions simply didn't allow it.
If allowed, they could just blow up the entire instance map; that would guarantee they'd complete the mission.
By the time they finished searching the third location, it was already past 10 p.m.
Everyone was exhausted, so they decided to find a hotel to rest.
They found a hotel nearby, which, presumably because of the large number of people, had been "raided" by dinosaurs, with bloodstains everywhere.
Ji Shi had four clean rooms prepared.
Zai Fumeng and Ning Shu shared a room, while he had his own room. The other two people were assigned to their own rooms, and all four rooms were next to each other.
Ning Shu and Zai Fumeng took turns washing up. When Ning Shu lay in bed, he still felt that this instance was a bit magical.
It's just dinosaurs appearing, why is it being made into an apocalypse? Did they just copy and paste zombie models?
She believed that with the government's armed forces, dealing with a few dinosaurs would be a piece of cake.
The next morning, Ji Shi came and knocked on the door. His knocking was urgent: "Xiao Meng, Ning Shu, get up quickly, we have to go."
After being startled awake, Ning Shu glanced at Xiao Meng and found that she was also sleeping soundly.
I glanced at the time; it was 6:30 in the morning. I was immediately struck by how incredibly disciplined I was.
She quickly got up, woke Xiaomeng, and went to answer the door: "Good morning."
Ji Shi's expression turned serious: "Something's not right. We need to leave here immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu quickly called Zai Fumeng, and the two of them, without even washing their faces, went to the hotel exit with Ji Shi and the others.
Before I could even step out, I immediately pulled back. There were many velociraptors outside, all very small, and they were all running wildly in one direction.
Ning Shu asked in surprise, "How can there be so many dinosaurs?"
Ji Shi frowned: "I don't know. Let's leave quickly after they've passed."
Zaifu Meng, who was originally sleepy, was scared away by this large group of velociraptors. She had suffered from velociraptors before and almost lost her life.
Whistle Qiu Yong returned: "Brother Shi, they've all left. It seems they're heading towards the residential area."
Ning Shu remained silent, probably because he was starving. There were so few people on the street; the living must all be staying at home. The residential area must have become a living hell.
Ji Shi didn't react much: "Let's go to the fourth point."
Qiu Yong immediately released the van, and as soon as the group got in, Zai Fumeng exclaimed that they were hungry and thirsty.
Ji Shi took out some food and drinks for her from his spatial storage, and also handed some to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu waved her hand: "I have some, you guys eat."
Zai Fumeng thought she was just being shy: "Sister, take it. We can go find more if we don't have enough to eat."
Ning Shu shook her head: "I have dry food and water in my bag."
Ji Shi didn't try to dissuade him; he simply handed the food to the other team members, while Ning Shu took out an ink bottle and started drinking water.
Seeing this, Zai Fumeng asked curiously, "Sister, you only have so little water, is it enough to drink?"
Ning Shu laughed: "This is a prop; it was originally filled with ink."
I emptied it, washed it clean, and used it to hold water. This small container holds about 1.2 liters of water.
