Chapter 31 Zombie World 10
Chapter Thirty-One
Xie Cheng was outside the door. Lin Xia opened the door, and Xie Cheng said quickly, "Another helicopter has arrived. It's from XX Group. They said they're inviting us to XX Group to rescue Dr. Ma."
"They said that a time limit had been set, only 24 hours. After 24 hours, regardless of whether it is found or not, a nuclear missile will be launched."
"Where Dr. Ma is, there is a passage leading to the outside world. The location and password of this passage are known only to Dr. Ma."
"Why launch a nuclear missile all of a sudden? Why exit through an underground passage?"
"During the rescue, a huge underground laboratory was discovered. The organisms inside are difficult for humans to destroy. According to the rescued researchers, one of the research objects inside may be impossible to destroy except with a nuclear bomb."
"The reason why we can't fly out is because many countries have targeted this place and are not allowing anyone to come out. 24 hours is their final ultimatum."
Lin Xia's mind raced, then she was startled, realizing she had overlooked something, and asked, "What about mosquitoes, rodents, and ants? Can those be prevented?"
Someone chimed in, "They knew that almost no insects, rodents, or ants could adapt to this virus, which is why they used nuclear weapons."
Looking at the person walking over, Lin Xia frowned: "Not airborne transmission?"
"Yes." The man stared at her intently.
Lin Xia frowned; she didn't like that look. "Is it because of...superpowers?"
The man's eyes shone even brighter and more audaciously as he nodded: "Yes, everyone wants to have superhumans under their control."
"Then why don't you just let us out?" Ji Wei's former teammate asked in confusion.
Ji Wei glanced at him: "Because of nationality."
Lin Xia lowered her eyes. She felt he was lying. She directly extended her mental energy and drilled into the researcher's head. A trace of blood still spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Xie Cheng's eyes sharpened, and he turned to face the researcher, using the opportunity to completely block Lin Xia from view.
Ji Wei glanced at the two of them, took a few steps closer, and asked, "Is what you're saying true? Is there really a passage down there leading to the outside?"
The researcher adjusted his glasses and nodded: "Yes."
【Of course there are passages, but they're monster passages to test your abilities, hahaha... I hope you're qualified works!】—The voice was excited and arrogant.
"Will they really launch a nuclear missile in 24 hours?" Ji Wei's voice trembled slightly, as if she were very scared.
"Yes."
[This must be true, but unfortunately, it only lasts for 24 hours.] —The tone conveys a sense of regret.
Lin Xia combined the thoughts he heard with other ideas that kept flashing through his mind and came to the following conclusion:
Sending them to XX Group was actually to assess their strength, analyze the power they wield, and also to observe the strength of those monsters, all within a 24-hour timeframe.
This is a trap in itself, but the problem is that the nuclear bomb thing is real. Because the underground laboratory is out of control, once the monsters inside emerge, they will be difficult to subdue in a short time, and they will spread the virus all over the world.
This idea comes from the person in front of him; he wants to study them and even calls them 'works of art'. Who would call them 'works of art'...?
Some guesses flashed through her mind, and she immediately sent Ji Wei a message: "Ask him who he is."
"Then who are you?" Ji Wei looked at him curiously.
The man paused, a thought flashing through his mind: "I am Dr. Ma."
He then said, "I'm just an ordinary researcher inside, and I happen to be quite familiar with the place, so I'm showing them the way."
In the eyes of these researchers, those with superpowers were successful samples of this research experiment, while the natives without superpowers and who had not turned into zombies were cases of failed awakening, and their antibodies and physical constitutions were also worth studying.
A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xia's eyes. Just for the sake of research, they could ignore so many lives and even wanted to divide up his research results—superhumans, how disgusting.
She swayed slightly, gripped the door tightly, closed it, spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly sat down on the ground.
Zhang Yayun's mind-reading skill seems to be protected by the system. She learned it on her own, and she always suffers backlash. I wonder if it's because her mental strength is insufficient. It seems she needs to continue to improve it!
Xie Cheng was a little worried. He exchanged a glance with Ji Wei, and the two of them continued to ask each other in a rambling manner: "What if Dr. Ma dies or mutates?"
The researcher shrugged: "That's fate, unless you have another way out."
......
It took Lin Xia a long time for the throbbing pain in her head to subside. She redeemed a [Group Chat] and activated it. A group chat function was added to the panel, and she added Xie Cheng and Ji Wei to it.
She sent the message directly and leaned against the door to rest. She didn't have many survival points left and couldn't use them casually, but she was in a bad state and had to recover first. Fortunately, survival points increased over time.
I exchanged for 5 cards that increased mental strength by 1. After using them, my mind felt much better.
Looking into the group chat, the two had already exchanged quite a bit of words.
The final conclusion was that, in any case, that was indeed a way out, and these people would eventually have to leave. The worst outcome would be being killed by monsters or captured for research. In any case, they should go first and see what happens.
Lin Xia looked at her backup of the [Invisibility Ring], paused for a moment, wondering to what extent it could make her invisible—whether it would make her completely disappear or just her body, and whether thermal imaging could detect it. What about breathing? What about when she encounters an obstacle?
He glanced at his "scapegoat" again, thankfully he still had a life left.
"Seventh Sister, I want to go pick up my comrade first."
"Go ahead, it won't make a difference if it takes a little longer."
I don't know what he said to that Dr. Ma, but he took off in the helicopter.
Wait a minute, Lin Xia thought for a moment. When she used the [Life and Death Compass] to calculate that day, it said that the mortality rate in the city was 100%. So what about today's events?
However, it's plausible to say that they used superhuman abilities to impress various countries, turning their direct killings into live captures for research.
Thinking about it, he took out the "Life and Death Plate" again.
[What are the chances of survival for someone who went to XX Group?]
[50%]
What are the chances of me giving birth if I leave the city now?
[50%]
Watching the life-and-death disc dissipate in his hand, Lin Xia was speechless. Did one person go through a lot of trouble to be captured alive, while the other was captured alive directly? And then they watched their fate on the experimental table?
No matter how you look at it, the situation is very bad. Is it true that the outside world has not been infected? Or is it because there are only people with superpowers here that we are in this situation today?
So, was this disaster a natural disaster or a man-made one? No, the virus itself was a man-made disaster.
Lin Xia looked out the window at the city that had become desolate and ruined in just a few days, at the lives that had been lost, at the fear, panic, screams, and worries, at the relatives and loved ones she would never see again, and at the children who would never grow up again.
A surge of anger welled up in her heart. Natural disasters were one thing, but man-made disasters were another. They controlled the life and death of others, so what about their own lives? They must have become indifferent to them by now.
Lin Xia smiled, looked at her hands, and said, "Then let's go to XX Group, as you wish."
A [Gold Element Card] appeared in her palm. As the golden light surged, it all adhered to her longsword, causing it to shimmer with golden light. Then, a bright light flashed, and the longsword returned to calm.
