Chapter 61: Apocalypse Mission 10

Everyone was still terrified of the powerful mutated beasts they had encountered in the underground laboratory of the experimental building. The apocalypse had only just begun less than a year ago, and the strongest humans were only at the third rank. However, so many powerful mutated beasts appeared in the underground laboratory, which made them think of the researchers.

Was it really necessary to create so many monsters for personal gain, ultimately leading to the deaths of all the researchers in the institute?

"Let's leave this place first and meet up with Major General Wang," Lou Zhan said.

Lou Zhan and Yan Ge also looked terrible, and one look at them made people think that they had gone through a tough battle. Because Lou Zhan had saved them, everyone fell silent for a while and agreed. However, the Supernaturalists from the Research Institute hesitated to speak, wanting to ask what to do with the data on the second floor of the basement. But they were quickly stopped by their captain.

The complex terrain and powerful mutated beasts had already cost them more than half of their manpower. At this point, talking about the mission would only lead to death. It was better to go back and talk about it later.

Soon, Major General Wang also brought people to meet them. There were many zombies in the research institute base, but the zombies on the ground were still relatively normal and could be eliminated with some effort. So after two days, they had almost wiped out the zombies in the research institute.

Lou Zhan and the others walked up to Major General Wang and saluted.

Major General Wang looked at the sorry state of these people and said, "It's good that you're all right!" He glanced at Lou Zhan and saw him nod, understanding that he had obtained the data. His heart immediately relaxed. As long as it wasn't the Supernaturalists from the Research Institute who got the data, then their military would have more initiative and wouldn't have to blindly accommodate the Research Institute and the few big shots behind it.

Just then, three more disheveled figures appeared from the experimental building. Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Feng Shaohuang, Qin Peng, and the other Supernaturalists from the west district of the Research Institute.

Judging from the bloodstains on their bodies and the damage to their clothes, they must have also gone through a tough battle. However, compared to the others, these three came down from the top floor of the experimental building. The people who entered the experimental building were divided into two groups, some went into the basement, and some went upstairs. Feng Shaohuang and the others were the group that went upstairs. This was also arranged by Qin Peng, who privately did not want the Qin family to take risks.

Major General Wang also came over to express his concern and asked them what had happened upstairs.

Feng Shaohuang had many wounds on his body, and others were bandaging him. Liu Ji, who was carried out by two people, was seriously injured and had fallen into a coma. Only Qin Wei looked a little better. He said, "The zombies in this experimental building are very powerful. Besides the zombies, we also encountered a young man. He didn't look like a zombie, but he didn't look like someone from the research institute either. He attacked us as soon as he saw us. The strange thing is, those zombies didn't attack him."

Hearing this, Major General Wang's eyes flickered slightly, and the others also looked over, with only one thought in their minds: Could it be that… that person had a special method to conceal himself from the zombies' senses? Or was there something wrong with him?

"Where is that person?"

"He's gone."

After asking a few more questions and getting no useful information, Major General Wang didn't ask any more questions. He ordered someone to take them out of the research institute base. On an open space outside the base, the army was stationed there. The view was wide open, and if anything happened, they could find out immediately.

As they left the research institute base, everyone couldn't help but look back. The research institute was still standing there quietly.

Major General Wang asked his adjutant to check the number of people. After counting, he found that half of the people had not returned. The adjutant went to ask Major General Wang if he needed to send someone to rescue them.

Major General Wang frowned. The danger level of the experimental building of the research institute was beyond his expectation. After listening to the report of Lou Zhan and the others, he didn't intend to send anyone to rescue them again, lest they couldn't be rescued and more people would be lost there. After the apocalypse, everyone's life was very precious. He was not willing to sacrifice anyone's life easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Wait for another two days. If they don't come out, then let it go," Major General Wang said.

The adjutant responded and went to tell everyone about Major General Wang's decision. Before entering the base, Major General Wang had asked everyone to bring enough food and water for three days, with three days as the limit. If they couldn't come back after the agreed time of three days, then they probably wouldn't be coming back.

Feng Shaohuang and Qin Wei looked around, but they didn't see Qin Peng and the others until they were taken out of the research institute base and came to the gathering place. They immediately had a bad feeling.

"Young Master Feng, my brother and the others are not here!" Qin Wei said with a gloomy face, "I asked the others earlier, and they said that my brother and the others also went into the experimental building for rescue yesterday afternoon, but they haven't come out yet. And I heard that he went to the basement of the experimental building."

Feng Shaohuang frowned, feeling that something was wrong. If something happened to Qin Peng here, it would be a big blow to the Qin family. The Feng family and the Qin family had always been on good terms and were also collaborators. Without the Qin family, the Feng family would also be affected. So nothing could happen to Qin Peng.

"Maybe something came up. Have faith in Brother Qin," Feng Shaohuang comforted.

Qin Wei was still uneasy. His gaze shifted to the Lou family's tent and suddenly said, "Do you think it could be Lou Zhan…"

"Lou Zhan is a righteous gentleman. He wouldn't do such a thing," Feng Shaohuang interrupted his guess. "I heard that the first floor of the basement of the experimental building is full of dangerous mutated beasts, so Brother Qin didn't let us go to the basement." He wondered if the others had gotten the data. With that thought, Feng Shaohuang looked at the Supernaturalists from other districts and found that they were also seriously injured.

Just as the two of them were frowning in thought, someone informed them that Liu Ji was awake.

Hearing this news, both of them were relieved. At least there was some good news. They immediately got up and went to the tent to see Liu Ji. The tent was temporarily built and there was nothing special about it. Many injured soldiers or Supernaturalists were lying on the ground. Liu Ji was lying on the mat in the corner near the door.

Seeing that Liu Ji could sit up, both of them were relieved. Liu Ji was a fire-type Supernaturalist with good combat power. He was the third strongest person in the team besides Feng Shaohuang. And this kid, except for his bad temper, there was nothing wrong with him. He was also very loyal to Feng Shaohuang. They didn't want him to die.

"Is that man dead?" Liu Ji asked.

The two of them knew that he was asking about the strange man in the experimental building who attacked them. The reason why Liu Ji was so badly injured was because of that man. They always had a feeling that the man had attacked them on purpose. They didn't know what it was about them that attracted him.

"He escaped."

Liu Ji cursed again. His string of colorful curses made the others in the tent couldn't help but look at him.

After cursing, Liu Ji also asked about the situation. Knowing that Qin Peng and the others were nowhere to be found, Liu Ji also fell silent. Then he said coldly, "Since Brother Qin and the others went in with that Lou Zhan, why could Lou Zhan and the others come out, but Brother Qin and the others couldn't? Why don't you go and ask, Young Master Feng? Are you afraid of that Lou Zhan?"

Feng Shaohuang hesitated. He wasn't afraid of Lou Zhan, but he didn't know how to face him. All he could do was turn a blind eye. Now he was asked to face Lou Zhan, and then he would be attacked by him for no reason? How silly!

Qin Wei didn't care so much. He was anxious about Qin Peng's whereabouts and went straight away.


Lou Zhan and the others were also assigned a tent, and then Lou Dian openly set up a small tent next to the tent for the injured Lou Ling to rest.

Lou Zhan and the others heard about what had happened to the two of them on the second floor of the basement of the experimental building, and they felt guilty and sorry for them. As a result, Lou Ling rarely enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and cared for by so many men. She was like a touch of red in a sea of green! Of course, the result was that she was directly driven away by the black-faced Lou Dian.

When Qin Wei and Feng Shaohuang arrived, they didn't see Lou Dian. Feng Shaohuang was also relieved.

Seeing Qin Wei, Yan Ge immediately thought of Qin Peng and sneered in his heart. He knew why they were here. However, he still smiled very kindly and amiably. When Qin Wei asked about Qin Peng with a hint of doubt in his tone, Yan Ge's face turned cold.

"Why do you think we know about Qin Peng? After entering the first floor of the basement of the experimental building, we encountered a mutated spider, and then we were separated. We didn't tie Qin Peng up, and we're not his father. How would we know where he went? It's funny that you would ask such a question. Just because we came out and Qin Peng is nowhere to be found, you suspect us? Why don't you suspect that Qin Peng did something to his companions?"

Feng Shaohuang stopped Qin Wei, who was blushing and wanted to speak, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Yan Ge sneered, "Our boss's leg injury was thanks to him. He shot at his companion. If we weren't lucky enough to be saved by others, we would have died in the belly of the mutated spider."

"Do you have any evidence!" Qin Wei couldn't accept that his outstanding cousin was being slandered like this.

Yan Ge didn't bother with them and directly waved his hand to have them thrown out. Even if they wanted to make a scene, they should see whose territory this was. Major General Wang even sent people to guard them. How could they be allowed to make a scene here?

In the tent next door, Lou Ling was lying in her sleeping bag, not yet asleep. She also heard Qin Wei and the others' words. Yan Ge deliberately said those words and didn't control his volume. He just wanted everyone around to know that Qin Peng shot at his companion to create a chance to escape when facing a dangerous mutated beast. Even in the apocalypse, morality was corrupted, but this kind of thing would still be despised by people. If you shot at your companion in times of danger, who would dare to team up with you on missions in the future?

So Yan Ge was ruining the reputation of the Qin family.

Lou Ling pursed her lips into a smile, feeling that Yan Ge was as cunning as a fox, always remembering to strike at his enemies whenever and wherever possible.

"Alright, you should go to sleep!" Lou Dian lay down beside her and patted her back.

Lou Ling was still a little worried. "I don't know how Baby is doing. I'm a little worried."

Lou Dian's eyes flickered slightly and said, "What's there to worry about? She's fine. When night falls, she'll appear."

"Why?" Lou Ling was a little surprised.

Lou Dian didn't hide it from her and whispered in her ear, "I just found out. She's with someone, and that person can't appear in front of people. Lin Bao wants to protect him and plans to use the cover of night to send him away."

"Then she'll be fine?" She also leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, as if they were doing something bad.

"Of course she'll be fine." Lou Dian clicked his tongue. Good people don't live long, but disasters last a thousand years. Sometimes he would rather she be as ruthless as Lin Bao than so kind-hearted. But then again, she wouldn't be the person he liked anymore. Maybe if the stepsister his stepmother brought over was the type of girl Lin Bao was, he wouldn't even spare her a glance. He just liked her personality. Being with her was like smelling the scent of sunshine, warm and comfortable.

Knowing that Lin Bao was fine, Lou Ling was relieved. As for the rest, she would deal with it later.

Seeing her fall asleep peacefully, Lou Dian was a little annoyed. He leaned over and bit her face. When he found that he had really bitten out a tooth mark, he immediately felt sorry for her and carefully applied medicine to her.

As Lou Dian said, after night fell and the entire research institute base was dark, Lin Bao finally appeared.

The author has something to say:

Today's goal:

Lou Ling's goal: Work hard to destroy the Qin family's reputation!

Lou Dian's goal: Work hard to destroy Lin Bao's image in his sister's heart!
