Chapter 69 : C69
“I heard from Professor Yu that you are only staying here for two days. I brought a cabbage for you!”
“…Thank you.”
Chi Ying fell silent as she looked at the huge cabbage that couldn’t fit into her door.
How were they going to get in now?
Boom!
That was the sound of a door closing next door.
Chi Ying poked her head out and saw that it was Gu Chi who came out from the side, holding a large glass jar in his hand.
Seeing the astonishingly large cabbage, Gu Chi trembled and almost dropped the jar, “This is… cabbage?”
Yun Ling nodded.
Gu Chi fell into silence like Chi Ying.
…
In the end, because she couldn’t get it in, Gu Chi temporarily kept the vegetable in his greenhouse.
“Try it, it shouldn’t be sour now,” Gu Chi lifted the lid off the pickled lemon.
And Yun Ling, who was upset because the food she gave was kept in someone else’s field, frowned even more when she saw Gu Chi bring the jar of lemons into Chi Ying’s room in front of her.
She was so pissed!
“Want to try it?” Chi Ying held a piece in her mouth and pushed the jar toward Yun Ling.
Yun Ling raised her head, subconsciously feeling that the person who it belonged to would be reluctant. From the corner of her eye, she looked at Gu Chi’s expression, and as expected, she saw his tense jaw.
“Yes!” She suddenly felt much better.
Gu Chi: …
He ignored the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, and said seriously, “We won’t be staying at the headquarters for long this time.”
Chi Ying nodded.
Gu Chi continued to say, “Professor Yu’s zombie leader detector is ready, and they will carry out some tests and adjustments on Bai Qing today and tomorrow. Now we are waiting for the adjustments to be completed, and we will leave if there is no problem.”
Chi Ying asked him, “Did he tell you what happened?”
“The headquarters didn’t investigate clearly either,” Gu Chi shook his head. Thinking of the news he heard when he came back, he slightly frowned, “In the middle of No. 23 to No. 24 A-level zones in the North District, there is a place called Yuhu City. Some abnormal phenomena appeared more than a month ago there. At that time, no one paid attention.”
“What phenomenon?”
“Passing by ability holders encountered some accidents. After entering there, they were never seen again.”
“Not only the ability holders of the alliance, but also some who have not joined the human alliance, but are very famous because of their outstanding strength, disappeared strangely.”
Gu Chi continued, “Currently, I lost contact with 23 fifth-level ability holders and two ability holders who have just broken through sixth-level in the alliance during the investigation of Yuhu City.”
“There are more third-level and fourth-level ability holders who we have lost news of.”
Chi Ying stretched her lower lip and guessed, “Is it because there is a zombie leader there?”
Gu Chi nodded, “This is the only explanation I can think of. However, there are too many people who disappeared there. It may be difficult for even the zombie leader to do this. I have to go there to investigate the specific situation before coming to a conclusion.”
Chi Ying was silent for a moment, then said, “Then what about our task of finding zombie leaders? Are we going to put it on hold?”
“Since the zombie leader detector has been made, the task of finding them can be handed over to other exploration teams from all security zones. The headquarters will distribute more accurate detectors in the future.”
“By then, it may be possible to accurately locate a zombie leader from hundreds of miles away.”
Chi Ying opened her lips in surprise.
So smart?
Seeing that, Gu Chi pursed his lips into a smile, “It’s just a hypothesis. The research institute has just started research. It will take a long time until the results come out.”
“Everything I just said was just my imagination before, but since we brought back those crystal cores and Bai Qing yesterday, it may turn true.”
Chi Ying was still a little confused, “Does that mean that we are about to win?”
“At present, it seems that it is only a matter of time before we win.” Gu Chi said with some unconcealed lightness, “It will take a long time for human beings to fight this battle, but victory is ours.”
Seeing him excited, Chi Ying was also driven to be happy.
Yun Ling interjected, “Well, can you take me with you when you go out this time?”
She looked at the two with sparkling eyes.
“…No,” Gu Chi refused coldly.
“Why? I can help you increase the level of your ability! Isn’t it very helpful?”
Gu Chi stretched out two fingers and said slowly, “First, your ability is really useful, but you don’t have an attack ability. Moreover, this mission is unusual, and there are too many unknown dangers.”
“But isn’t there a healing-type ability holder in your team? She also doesn’t have an attack ability,” Yun Ling said unconvincingly.
“Song Shi’s healing ability is necessary for us.”
Yun Ling held her breath, and her cheeks swelled up.
“Secondly, you are a member of the Human Ability Research Institute, and Ye Wuhan’s team in the headquarters system, right?”
Yun Ling muttered something in a low voice.
“Even if I agree with you to join the team, I’m not qualified to snatch people from Ye Wuhan.”
Yun Ling stopped talking.
Gu Chi stood up in satisfaction, looked at Chi Ying and said, “It’s a rare vacation, you should relax. I’ll go back first, good night.”
“Good night.”
After seeing off Gu Chi, Chi Ying looked at the listless Yun Ling, with a little helplessness.
How to coax her?
“Well, there are other paths, don’t give up.”
If she couldn’t leave with them, she could find things to do in the headquarters.
Yun Ling lay on the table in a daze for a while, after listening to Chi Ying’s words, she straightened up suddenly, “You’re right! I can’t give up!”
Chi Ying didn’t understand the situation yet, but seeing her cheer up, she was relieved.
Although she didn’t know what Yun Ling had realized.
