Chapter 212 Changing Direction
The truck slowly came to a stop in the open area.
Lu Wei untied Yue Mingyuan.
Yue Mingyuan tried to stretch his muscles and bones. Although his body had not fully recovered, he was at least able to move.
"It seems the antidote really is real," he thought to himself.
He really didn't know what to say to Lu Wei, and all he wanted to do was get out of there as soon as possible.
Just as the car door opened and he put one foot on the ground, the sound of the trigger being pulled rang out.
He was a little impatient, but he suppressed his impatience and regained his usual serious expression as he turned around, only to see Lin Xi holding a pocket gun and pointing it at him.
Yue Mingyuan looked at Lu Wei: "Is Major General Lu going to break the contract twice in a row? The relevant departments can't do this."
He invoked the relevant departments and Lu Wei's title, reminding Lu Wei not to do anything that would damage his status.
Lu Wei remained unmoved, while Lin Xi's grip on the gun remained firm.
Yue Mingyuan took a deep breath: "I promised to release them, and Major General Lu should also fulfill the terms of the agreement and release them."
Lin Xi replied coldly, "Lu Wei didn't agree to it, it wasn't me who did."
"..."
She added, "What does it have to do with him if I want to kill you?"
Yue Mingyuan turned the research institute into a bioweapon incubation site, turning the hardworking researchers into his knives. Then, apart from Peng Xinghong who was exposed to radiation, all the people who participated in the secret experiments were killed by Lin Xi with poison.
Why is Yue Mingyuan, the instigator, still alive?
Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will lead to endless troubles.
Yue Mingyuan realized that Lin Xi's words didn't sound like a joke. Unfortunately, he was all alone and helpless, without any weapons. He could only look to Lu Wei, hoping to awaken his conscience and get him to help him.
Lu Wei said, seemingly helplessly, "I have a low status in my family and no say in anything."
It doesn't sound like a joke.
"..."
"Pfft..." Liang Hui and Xiang Xin burst out laughing in the back.
Yue Mingyuan gave a wry smile: "The pretense of a relationship has already been exposed, what's the point of pretending anymore..."
"Bang!"
Lin Xili landed and made his move.
The reason he waited until Yue Mingyuan got out of the car before taking action was that he didn't want to get his own car dirty.
-
After the truck caught up with the main force, Lin Xi couldn't wait to go to the medical rescue vehicle and get the refrigerated box containing the vaccines.
Just to be on the safe side, she secretly entered the password to check and make sure the box was intact.
Zhao Jing witnessed this scene and gave a sarcastic, ambiguous laugh.
Lin Xi didn't care at all.
Song Heng looked very unwell and was in a coma; sores had already appeared on his face.
Lin Xi asked the military doctor about his condition, and the doctor silently shook his head: "There are no professional drugs or instruments for treating radiation sequelae on the vehicle."
Lin Xi was dejected.
Based on Lu Wei's description, Song Heng was likely in grave danger after being fully exposed to radiation. However, his exposure time was shorter, so it's unknown whether his symptoms will be better than Lu Wei's.
The instructions from the relevant departments were to protect the research team as they moved to the next well-equipped "watch" base to continue vaccine research, while the military prepared for war.
After Lin Xi shared Song Heng's situation with Lu Wei, Lu Wei contacted a specialist. They planned to go to the "Tomorrow" base, where Liang Hui had originally stayed, to allow those in the vehicle who might have been exposed to radiation to receive professional treatment.
Anyway, vaccines and antibodies are stored in professional refrigerated boxes, and as long as they can be charged, the refrigeration system can be kept running.
Everyone took turns driving and rested in the car.
Everyone snapped to attention the moment the alarm suddenly sounded.
Xiang Xin, holding the equipment, said, "A large horde of corpses has appeared ahead."
Looking at the massive blue herd ahead, she said with a serious expression, "Conservatively speaking, there are probably more than 500 of them."
After zooming in to get a clear look at the road conditions, she said, "500 heads are enough to block the road. We probably won't be able to get through them all."
The vehicles will be blocked by the horde of zombies, and a large number of zombies will overturn the vehicles, rendering the convoy unable to move.
Lu Wei said, "Find a nearby road where we can change our route."
After a few simple steps, Xiang Xin replied, "We can change our route to G886, but the navigation shows that there is a section of road in poor condition, and the convoy may not be able to pass through. We will need to get out of the vehicle to clear it."
Lu Wei: "Change course, and then clear obstacles along the way."
They had encountered similar situations when carrying out missions in the past. With enough manpower, as long as they didn't encounter heavy trucks, clearing the road wouldn't take too much time.
It's better than fighting the horde of zombies head-on.
After receiving the message, all vehicles in the convoy were rerouted to G886.
Xiang Xin stopped joking around and became very professional and meticulous when she got to work.
Suddenly, Xiang Xin reported seriously, "The zombie horde has changed its course...it seems to be heading towards us."
The blue horde of zombies on the screen was breaking up, apparently because something on the road was blocking their path. The horde scattered into small blue dots, but they were still heading in the same direction as the convoy.
"My God, are they coming this way in an organized manner?"
The expressions of the people in the car all froze.
Could it be a large number of sentient zombies? That would be troublesome.
Lin Xi immediately thought of the design concept of a special kind of zombie that she had just seen.
The convoy sped forward, but the distance between them and the zombies continued to shrink, with the leading horde of zombies now less than 6 kilometers away.
The convoy was about to enter a complex road condition.
Lu Wei quickly assigned tasks to each vehicle, dispatched armed forces to get out of the vehicles and clear the road, and he and Liang Hui went down personally.
Lin Xi also wanted to join the fight, but Lu Wei glanced at the refrigerated box and said, "You and the vaccine samples are both very important, don't get out of the car."
As the car door closed, Lu Wei said again, "Clear the road conditions, we'll be back soon."
Lin Xi touched the refrigerator and sat down again. Xiang Xin turned to look at her and said, "It's okay. We often encounter this situation when we go out. Brother Lu will be back soon."
In addition to the imaging device, Xiang Xin also used drones to patrol and broadcast live updates to them.
About 10 minutes later, a lot of debris on the road was cleared, but an overturned truck was still blocking the way.
Xiang Xin urged anxiously, "The first group of zombies is still 500 meters away from you!"
Lin Xi watched as the drone projected footage of approaching zombies and grew anxious.
People outside gradually withdrew into the vehicle, while Lu Weilianghui and several core combatants were still working hard to finish up.
"Brother Lu! Hurry, less than 50 meters left."
Lin Xi could already see the zombies from the window.
The last truck was towed away with difficulty, but the first batch of more than 20 zombies had already blocked their way back to the truck.
Gunshots and fighting broke out outside, and several vehicles started up, moving forward while trying to help those who hadn't yet gotten back into their cars.
Although it was only 20 meters, the journey back to the car felt exceptionally long due to the zombies' relentless attacks.
As they approached, Lin Xi opened the car door and waited at the entrance with his weapon.
Liang Hui was almost caught by the zombie, but Lu Wei stepped in to stop it. Just as the two of them got into the car, they suddenly heard a "hiss".
The scene before Lin Xi's eyes seemed to freeze in time—
Lu Wei held onto the car door, and the zombie's waving arm froze in mid-air.
Then, with the sound of clothes tearing, the zombie's arm seemed to draw an arc.
