Chapter 327 Passing Away Peacefully
Captain Zhang felt very wronged at this moment, as if he was mistaken for a villain by his own teammates, and he felt a little upset.
But when he thought about the situation at that time, he was afraid that the team members were more upset than him. Thinking of this, he felt much better.
But because of this accident, he actually learned something he didn't know before, that is Lan Jin's supernatural power. "Let me ask you, when did your supernatural power become so strong?"
Although he was very strong before, he is not on the same level as he is now.
Lan Jin explained, "Hasn't my ability suddenly gotten stronger since my last injection? Every time I use it, it gets a little stronger. It's gotten so strong now that I don't even realize it. But I feel like it's reached its limit. After all, it's already very powerful. Could it get even stronger?"
After saying that, Lan Jin continued, "Speaking of this, I still want to ask you, what exactly was that injection you gave me? Why did it enhance my superpowers? If you gave it to other superpower users, would it have the same effect?"
Captain Zhang laughed inwardly. How could she not see that Lan Jin was playing tricks on her? But if Lan Jin didn't want to tell her, then she didn't have to. Everyone has a secret. It was not easy to survive in the apocalypse, but with her special ability——
"Lan Jin, the situation just now was too sudden. Before I could say anything, you directly displayed such a powerful ability. But please remember, such a powerful ability must never be displayed in front of others again." Captain Zhang reminded with a very serious expression.
But Lan Jin didn't understand. "Isn't it good to be strong? And I just demonstrated it in front of many people."
"It doesn't matter. In this dense forest, it doesn't matter how many people know about it. The most important thing is to survive. But after surviving, the one who gets out is the most important. So, be careful and don't show off your powerful abilities if you can."
Lan Jin asked, "Captain Zhang, tell me the truth. How difficult is this mission? How many of us can return together? I already know what the mission is, but you can't even answer this?"
Captain Zhang chuckled and said, "I can't answer any of your questions, but what I can say is that those who separated at the fork in the road can't go back."
If it had happened at the fork in the road just now, he would have sent people to rescue no matter what. But this time, it was not that he didn't want to rescue, but that he was powerless to do anything.
Not to mention that dozens of people were taken away in all directions. Even if they were taken somewhere, it would not be possible for them to find it in a short time. If they encountered any difficulties along the way, the remaining people would not be able to go back, let alone complete the mission.
"So, what exactly is the mission?" Lan Jin asked irritably. "We followed you here completely out of trust. We didn't ask you for any information about the mission before or after we set off. We knew that if you couldn't tell me, it would be difficult for you to do it. But now, it seems like everyone knows the details of this mission, except for the four of us."
Captain Zhang explained, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the less you know, the better. Aside from you, everyone else is from the base, so it's normal for them to know something. But didn't you want to avoid getting involved last time? I thought you didn't want to know this."
"I still feel the same way. I really don't want to know what's going on behind the scenes, but this thing is so dangerous, we have to die clearly. Right now, I feel like the four of us are like little cuties (little fools), heading towards a dangerous place, completely unaware of the danger ahead. It's like we're going there to die. In short... It's not a good feeling."
At this point, Lan Jin himself began to struggle with whether he wanted to know the complicated story behind it. If he knew, would he still be able to withdraw? But if he couldn't go back, then his death would be too unfair.
Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's better to know less about these things. Besides, how could anyone treat you as little cuties? And I'm counting on you four to help me get the things we found back to base."
Lan Jin asked sincerely, "Can we still go back?"
Captain Zhang responded with the same sincerity, saying, "We'll definitely be able to return. All you need to know is that this mission is an effort for the survival of humanity."
Now that things have come to this, there is really no need to ask any further.
As soon as the words were spoken, screams were heard one after another in the cabin.
Apart from Pei Xin, no one else could scream so sharply and panickily.
The three people outside the house immediately returned to the house, only to see that the ground inside the house, or around them, was densely packed with insects. Not only that, the house was also filled with a familiar stench, very much like the smell released by bedbugs before the end of the world.
If you look closely, aren’t the bugs on the ground just enlarged versions of bedbugs?
It was just that the insect was magnified, but it didn't look that different. After observing it for a while, I recognized it.
Almost at this moment, Ling Jiang released his ice ability, bypassing the traces of their sleep and freezing all the insects on the ground stiff.
But the lingering smell made it impossible for everyone to continue sleeping. After picking up their luggage, almost everyone rushed out of the cabin.
But at this moment, there was one person who did not move at all. That person was Grandpa Pei, who had explained all the subsequent matters to Lan Jin before going to bed.
Seeing that no one moved, Pei Xin, who had already walked out the door, immediately returned to the house. She came to Grandpa Pei, stroked his already cold body, and said she couldn't believe that her grandfather had left her like this.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, wake up, Grandpa."
Pei Xin kept shaking Grandpa Pei's body, but at this time he could no longer give any response.
Seeing that things were not going well, Captain Zhang immediately returned to the house and examined Grandpa Pei. He had no wounds on his body, nor any signs of poisoning. Perhaps it was because he had been too tired recently, or perhaps it was because Grandpa Pei was already old.
In short, after just a nap, he left them forever.
Being able to die in your sleep is naturally more peaceful than dying after being harmed by mutant creatures.
However, without Grandpa Pei on this mission, many things cannot be completed smoothly -
