As soon as Ji Mengyao opened the door, she found it was Shen Yiyue and knew that she came to return the key.

Shen Yiyue handed her the key and thanked her:

"Thank you. I'll treat you guys to dinner next time!"

Ji Mengyao smiled and responded:

"You're welcome. Wu Di's injury has healed. Let's act together next time!"

Shen Yiyue made an OK gesture, indicating that it was okay, and suddenly a gossipy expression appeared on her face:

"Now that his injury has healed, does that mean your sweet cohabitation is over?"

Seeing Shen Yiyue's cramped look, Ji Mengyao couldn't help but blush, and began to mutter and argue: "I asked that idiot to stay for a few more days, but he refused, as if I wanted him to stay here! And he eats my food and uses my things, humph."

"My birthday is in a few days, can't I go back after that?"

When she said this, she suddenly remembered something and invited Shen Yiyue again:

"Yes, it's my birthday in a few days, you guys can come to my house for a drink and a meal~!"

"Oh~~ So that's how it is."

When Shen Yiyue heard this, she looked thoughtful. She thought that Wu Di was probably secretly preparing a birthday present for her as a surprise.

"Why, are you busy?"

When Ji Mengyao saw that Shen Yiyue did not agree immediately, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"No, no, no, if you're free, see you then!"

Shen Yiyue finally reacted and agreed with a smile.

Ji Mengyao stared at her suspiciously: "I always feel like you are hiding something from me."

"No, how is that possible!"

Shen Yiyue immediately shook her head to deny it. This kind of thing cannot be exposed, otherwise there will be no surprise at all.

On her birthday, I can eat their candies, it will be so wonderful!

Ji Mengyao frowned, looking at Shen Yiyue's silly smile, the suspicion on her face became more serious:

"Stare——This is really suspicious."

Seeing Ji Mengyao's suspicion, Shen Yiyue immediately ran away: "I have something else to do. I'm leaving first!!"

"Hello!"

Before Ji Mengyao could stop her, Shen Yiyue had already run away.

“What the hell.”

She looked at Shen Yiyue walking away in confusion, and closed the door in depression.

This time, Ning Yu and Lin Hao met in an empty apartment. Every time they would leave a secret code to randomly decide the meeting place.

After Lin Hao confirmed that there was no one around, he used a special key to open the door of the apartment. Ning Yu was already waiting for him inside.

"How's it going? Any progress over there?"

As Ning Yu asked, he took out the serum he got from killing two gluttons during today's mission from his pocket.

Lin Hao walked over, took the two bottles of serum handed to him by Ning Yu, and sat down on the seat next to him.

"I found a way to recover those records, but unfortunately the content of the mission has been completely lost. I only recovered part of the information."

Ning Yu turned around and asked:

"What's the message?"

"I checked the restored mission record of Wan Heng and found that the last modification timestamp was deleted that night."

Lin Hao said, and collected the two bottles of serum that needed to be purified.

"That is to say, someone already knew that he was dead that night, so they erased the record."

Ning Yu made a reasonable inference.

"That's right."

Lin Hao nodded.

"It seems that things are indeed more complicated than I thought."

Ning Yu put her hand on her lips and fell into thought.

"And in addition to his records, I also restored quite a few records that were deleted."

Lin Hao threw out another shocking news.

Ning Yu narrowed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath:

"Every record means that one or more awakened people have died."

Lin Hao nodded again in silence, and then analyzed:

"These records are not very frequent. I looked at the distribution pattern of their timestamps and found that there is one every one to two weeks on average."

Ning Yu picked up the phone. Although there was no signal, it was still no problem to check the time:

It has been more than a week since Wan Heng died.

Someone is sending the awakened ones out to do certain tasks that will definitely lead to their death according to a certain time pattern. Why is this? This sounds like something that is completely detrimental to others and not beneficial to oneself.

Why do such a thing?

Lin Hao's face was also solemn. Like Ning Yu, he couldn't understand this kind of thing.

"That means there will be another victim soon."

According to the time calculation, someone will suffer soon. Ning Yu suddenly remembered the two gluttons he encountered today.

It was not particularly strong, but it accurately found himself and Shen Yiyue. If other people encountered this kind of monster, it would be hard to say who would win.

Other people in the base didn't seem to notice this anomaly. It might have become a daily routine for the exploration team to encounter mutated zombies and die while out on missions.

It's a matter of risk and benefit.

"I have written a small background program to continuously monitor the file write records in that place."

Lin Hao had already realized this matter and had taken action first:

"As soon as any more records are deleted, my monitoring program will send a message to my computer through the base's intranet."

"You can program? Aren't you a bioscience major?"

Ning Yu looked at Lin Hao curiously, feeling that this guy had too many skills, except that he was a weakling in fighting.

Lin Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly when he heard this: "When I first started studying computer science, I thought I would find a job that could earn money after graduation, buy a house and marry Xiaolu as soon as possible."

"It's just that my dad forced me to change my major and put me in his lab. Sigh. Anyway, it's the same old saying that a son follows in his father's footsteps."

He just looks like a smart guy, no wonder he looks so smart even after changing his major.

"So if anything happens to anyone else, we can know ahead of time."

Ning Yu understood, but felt that this was not enough to solve the problem, so she said:

"Is there any way to find out who is deleting these records?"

It would be best if he could find this person directly, but when Lin Hao heard Ning Yu's words, he just shook his head helplessly.

"Although many people in the research group have accounts, they don't know each other. I have always wanted to improve this aspect, but..."

He hesitated.

"But what?"

Ning Yu asked.

"This matter was not pushed forward and ended up in nothing."

Ning Yu just felt that there seemed to be more and more strange things here.

"Oh, there's one more thing."
