Bad, biological warfare
“Ha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha – you didn’t expect that! Crunchy Shark, you’ll end up in this day too?!”
Tong Zhenzhen laughed heartily, and pulled the victims of the system around him to fill in the grievances they had suffered in the past few days:
"Only one system can communicate, and the others are all dumb. Don't be so perfunctory! If we weren't kind-hearted, we would have called the time traveler hotline to complain about you!"
"He disappeared halfway and left his post, causing the host to almost lose his head!"
“And there are more bugs than my hair. Did you build a school on the bugs?!”
Crunchy Shark's escape obviously angered the public. All the crimes were listed on the questionnaire. After Tong Zhenzhen confirmed it again and again, she fiercely pressed the submit button:
"Now let's see if Crispy Shark behaves. If it weren't for this guy, Shao Hui would have been torn to pieces in a minute. Why would he have to endure this torture? I've become skinny after being locked up for so many days!"
While cursing angrily, she snatched the chicken leg from Ma Chengyun's hand, which he had not yet had time to enjoy, and took a big bite. He could only lower his head in grievance and dared not say a word.
Suddenly, there were several knocks on the cell door. The jailer who had just left carefully leaned in halfway and asked:
"I heard the goddess' exclamation, do you have any instructions?"
Tong Zhenzhen fell silent in embarrassment. Chen Miao had an unfathomable smile on her face and said "hush" to the jailer:
"Hey, the secret cannot be revealed, don't ask too many questions!"
"Ah, ah?" The jailer was a little stunned, but then he thought that maybe they were performing some kind of ritual, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. "In that case, ahem, then I will... ahem, leave first."
He suddenly felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help coughing. His colleague outside the door patted him on the back to help him breathe.
"What's wrong with you? I told you to take care of yourself. Xiaoliu was moved to the military medical camp yesterday because of a cold, and he didn't come to work today."
"That's right. Ahem, it's really strange that I can catch a cold as the weather gets hotter..."
The two of them walked away talking about Xiantian. Xue Yide, who had been observing secretly, withdrew his gaze and interrupted the laughter with a slightly serious expression:
"Although I don't want to disturb you, but I suddenly remembered something very important."
Xue Yide was a very serious person. If he said it was a life-threatening matter, it was definitely not an exaggeration. Everyone stopped what they were doing. Luo Xiaoli even stopped playing the Go game he had drawn up on the spur of the moment. He held his breath and listened attentively to his important speech.
"Sir, please speak." Tong Zhenzhen swallowed her saliva and made a "please" gesture to Xue Yide.
Xue Yide also folded his arms and cleared his throat:
"I was so flustered when I was captured that I overlooked some details. I suddenly remembered them after settling down these few days. Do you remember when I first crossed over, I almost wiped out all the indigenous people because of the modern virus I brought with me?"
Tong Zhenzhen: ...some not-so-good memories come to mind
"Ah, that's true," Qu Fei remembered something after he reminded her, "When Xiaoli and I first arrived in Changhao, the original medical student system couldn't be used. I heard from you that it was probably because Crispy Shark opened the permissions at that time, so they used the system's vaccine to prevent the outbreak of plague among the indigenous people."
Xue Yide nodded:
"Yes, in order to avoid becoming a biological weapon, we medical students have been insisting on cyber drug delivery. However, the distance is limited. Whenever we arrive at a place, we will release it to the surrounding area. That's why it has taken us so long to avoid the tragic situation we just experienced when we crossed over. But now..."
"Your medical system is useless now, and you can't provide vaccines to people like Gulou!" Tong Zhenzhen immediately grasped the point he wanted to make and jumped up.
Luo Xiaoli, who was beside her, calmed down the excited Tong Zhenzhen and frowned in thought:
"In other words, the Gulou military camp will soon become a biochemical crisis scene?"
"That's right," Xue Yide pointed to the jailer who was resting in a small room not far away, "According to my observation, the jailer who looked after us at the beginning has already developed symptoms and he didn't come today, and the one just now also had a slight cough."
"Oh, oh, oh, don't do that kind of thing!" Ma Chengyun bit the handkerchief sadly. He still remembered how hard it was when he was taking care of the patients.
Xue Yide couldn't bear to see his delicate and artificial appearance, so he pulled out his handkerchief and threw it aside:
“No, it’s a good thing for us.”
"Then take advantage of the chaos to escape!" Chen Miao snapped his fingers and narrowed his eyes cunningly, as if he was already looking forward to the upcoming chaos.
"This is a happy event! What is there to worry about? Come and eat and drink!" Tong Zhenzhen waved her hand and continued to slump down and play Gobang with her roommates on paper.
Finally, there was a chance to escape. Everyone looked happy and began to wait for that moment to come.
Half a day later
Chengping Bridge
"How is it, have you found anything?"
Xie Ci paced back and forth beside the woods, and finally couldn't help himself and stepped forward to ask the third time.
"Xiao Xie, you can't be like those annoying mentors who always ask about where the program is, whether it can be run or not. You won't be able to find your target if you do that, you know?" Li Ruotong from the School of Computer Science squatted on the ground and kept picking at the grass, trying to find clues that her companions might have left behind. However, someone was too anxious and came over to ask after a while.
Xie Ci felt a little depressed by what she said, and thought to himself that she was indeed Tong Zhenzhen's friend, with the same tone.
Li Yan was also searching in the bushes ahead. Since her companions' safety was at stake, she naturally did not slack off. However, the vegetation was too dense, and even stones were hard to find, not to mention... Hmm? Was there something under this stone?
She was just fiddling with the stones on the ground when she caught a glimpse of a piece of white cloth sticking out from under the stone.
Li Yan's heart moved, and she quickly raised her hand to lift the stone, and then she could see the full picture of the white cloth - a medical glove!
It must have been left by Xue Yide! Who else but him would be so perverted as to carry this with him?!
She grabbed the glove, but saw a note falling out of it. After she quickly read the contents of the note, she was sure that this was the clue they left behind, and hurriedly called out to her companions:
"Sister Tong, General Xie, we found it!"
"Really?!" Xie Ci rushed forward and almost tripped over a rock, but he didn't bother to do anything else and went forward to check.
"Hey, move aside. We need professionals to look at this." Li Ruotong stood up a little too quickly. After the stars in front of her eyes passed, she took the note and checked it:
Miss, are you sure you want to go forward? (Here is east)
Li Ruotong:?
"6, this must have been left behind by them. We can definitely find it by following this direction." Li Ruotong made the same judgment as Li Yan.
"That's great, Zhenzhen and the others can be saved!" Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they found their location, she believed that Xie Ci would definitely find a way to rescue them.
Lin Shizhu heard the noise and hurried over:
"But what did you find?"
Xie Ci suppressed the restless emotions in his heart. He now wished he could rush to Tong Zhenzhen's side immediately to protect her from all harm. However, the more times like this, the more he had to search calmly and not miss any clues.
He told Lin Shizhu in a deep voice:
"Brothers, continue searching eastward along this road, especially under the rocks. If you find this kind of white gloves, report it immediately!"
Xue Yide, the bespectacled boy, was quite clever. He knew to leave behind such a symbolic thing and even put the note inside to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. It's just that the indicator words he used were a bit disgusting.
"Yes!" Lin Shizhu did not waste any time and ordered the soldiers to disperse and search in the front. With a clear direction, the search efficiency was much higher. Soon good news came, and another white glove was handed over.
"Let me see what's written this time?" Li Ruotong couldn't wait to lean over and opened the note:
Miss, you can't stop me. If you walk any further, we'll start dancing, okay? (Here to the northeast)
Li Ruotong felt that her eyes were hurt, and she muttered in her heart that Xue Yide looked quite serious, but was actually a repressed and shy person.
"Next is the northeast."
Everyone worked non-stop as they searched in the designated direction. It must be said that the direction in which Xue Yide threw the stone was very tricky. It would either get stuck in the gap between tree roots or fall between two stones, ensuring that the clue would not be shifted.
"Ah, I found another one!" Li Yan exclaimed in surprise, spreading out the note:
Ah ah ah, the young lady who can't be stopped~ Ah ah ah, the young lady who can't be stopped~ (Here to the west)
"Makamasi, the young lady who can't be stopped, ah ah ah..." Li Ruotong couldn't control herself and was brainwashed by the note with a built-in bum. She sang along, but immediately realized her embarrassing behavior and stopped in time.
After she reported the clues to Xie Ci, she walked side by side with Li Yan again, following the main group. Li Ruotong also chatted with her casually:
"Hey, do you think Xiao Xie is a little abnormal? I feel like he's about to explode..."
Li Yan sighed and expressed her understanding:
"After all, the person I like has been arrested, so of course I'm anxious."
"Hmm? Ah? No, wait a minute... who likes who?!" Li Ruotong seemed to have heard some explosive news, her brain didn't react for a moment, and her eyes were a little dull.
Li Yan was also dumbfounded:
"What? You didn't know that General Xie has a crush on our Zhenzhen?!"
"What?!" Li Ruotong rarely lost control of her expression, and her calm dead fish eyes at the beginning turned into wide-open eyes like KISS ME now.
As she opened the newly discovered note and informed the soldiers of the next direction, she suddenly grabbed Li Yan and shook her:
"What did I miss?! How did they become a couple?!"
Li Yan was stunned:
"Didn't it happen a long time ago? Everyone is secretly supporting them, and there are already several CP groups. But then again, General Xie's crush was so obvious, how could you not notice it?!"
The two of them thought that their conversation was very quiet, but in fact it had already fallen into Xie Ci's ears. It must be said that this did ease his impatience to some extent, but it also added several times the embarrassment.
Lin Shizhu saw that he seemed calm while arranging the next itinerary, but his ears were actually red. She took a break from her busy schedule and teased him:
"It's obvious that you have a crush on me, huh? General Xie?"
Xie Ci glanced at him, and the other party immediately shut up and ran to work. He took a deep breath and said when Lin Shizhu turned to leave:
"Soon it won't be a secret crush anymore, it will be an open crush."
Lin Shizhu staggered and looked at him in disbelief. This boy is really good. He is now so proactive in admitting his feelings in front of others. It’s not in vain that he has been a matchmaker!
Xie Ci didn't say anything more and continued on his journey in silence. Although riding a horse was fast, it was easy for the other party to notice them. If they changed their location, it would be counterproductive, so they all explored on foot and walked for nearly a whole day.
With the guidance of the note, the search process can be said to be very smooth, but the time in a day is really limited. As the sun gradually sets, the originally bright vision becomes extremely dim, completely interrupting the smooth search process.
"Do you want to light a torch?" Lin Shizhu walked up to Xie Ci and asked for his opinion as the commander-in-chief.
Xie Ci hesitated for a moment and rejected the suggestion:
"No, if we do that, the secret rescue will be meaningless, and it will be equivalent to directly telling Gulou that we are here."
But if we don't light a torch, in such a dark night, once we miss the clues that lead the way...
Xie Cifeng was caught in a dilemma. His brows were furrowed. His impatience, which had been slightly relieved by finding clues, surged up again. However, he did not show it. After pondering for a while, he finally spoke:
"Since Gulou was able to send out troops to capture people so quickly, it means their camp can't be too far away. According to the pace we are walking today, we should be there soon. The most important thing now is to hurry up. Pass the order to speed up the pace and also pay attention to the stones on the ground."
