Chapter 77 : C77
[It was mentioned once in the middle of the book. There was only one sentence about it, which was what his teammates said when Ye Wuhan asked about Gu Chi’s whereabouts, “Gu Chi went to Yuhu City on a mission some time ago.”]
Chi Ying frowned, that sentence alone was really useless.
[The second time, it was mentioned at the end of the book. “The human alliance launched the zombie leader clearing operation. Professor Yu of the Zombie Research Institute made Yuhu City the first stop. Ye Wuhan was the commander in charge of this mission…” After that, they said a few concluding remarks about embarking on a new journey, and the full novel came to an end.]
Chi Ying: “End?”
[End.]
Chi Ying rubbed her head, and suddenly thought of something.
She asked, “Is there a second part to this novel?”
The final ending seemed a bit hasty…
[Uh, the author said at the end that there will be a second part. But in the end, she stood everybody up.]
Chi Ying: …
Lu Yunfei took a breath, “There are clues, Ye Wuhan, and… the zombie leader. However, we still don’t have a clue about the specific location.”
He frowned, thinking of Song Shi who had turned into a zombie, he couldn’t help but feel sad.
When exactly…
Lu Yunfei shook his head. It was not the time to let their emotions control themselves, they had to find a way, find a way to save him.
“Yes!” Chi Ying said suddenly, “I can hear it, and it is very clear this time.”
She heard the sound of some kind of machine twitching, coming from the communicator.
Only Chi Ying and Lu Yunfei went to Yuhu City. Lin Xun did not follow because he had to wait for the people from the headquarters.
Originally, Chi Ying wanted to go alone, but Lu Yunfei said that even if he followed her, it would be good to find out the exact location so that people from the headquarters could make a move, so she didn’t stop him.
Besides, in terms of experience in the team, Lu Yunfei’s experience was naturally richer than hers.
“However, the sound shouldn’t be too loud, right? Yuhu City is such a big place, it’s not easy to find the place just by sound.”
“The location is in the west of the central part. Although the exact location is uncertain, we will definitely find it today!”
Lu Yunfei said in surprise, “So sure?”
Chi Ying nodded.
Her hearing ability was very good.
She turned around and said to Lu Yunfei solemnly, “Remember to keep a distance from me.”
Lu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, “I know, three hundred meters away.”
He was a little helpless. He and Lin Xun were two men, but they could only stay in the safest place, and rely on a little girl who looked weak and delicate.
…
Arriving at the west side of Yuhu City, Chi Ying did not use her ability to search for it at a high place that time, but was on the ground like Lu Yunfei.
After walking for half a day, she finally got that faint voice from the air.
Chi Ying became excited.
It was around the corner.
She relied on the direction of the sound to find the general direction, and stopped when she reached the source.
Looking around, Chi Ying frowned.
It was clearly there, but it felt like the sound was coming from all directions. But there was no building around that could make such a sound.
She suddenly lowered her head, staring at the zombies on the ground thoughtfully.
Not around, so was the sound coming from the underground?
She simply jumped to a high place and raised her hand to activate the fire ability.
The raging fire fell on the piled corpses and burned quickly. Thick smoke rose, and Chi Ying quickly turned over and hid in a nearby building.
When the zombies below were reduced to ashes, Chi Ying leaned out from the building.
She finally caught a glimpse of the place which was covered by the pile of corpses.
——It was an underground parking lot, but the entrance was blocked, and all the signs were removed. The original entrance and exit of the vehicle was tightly blocked by a protective cover made of metal and an unknown material.
Chi Ying tilted her head.
The place felt very familiar to her…
[Yes, its construction style is the same as the No. 36 experimental base you saw before.]
Chi Ying’s pupils brightened slightly.
Right! The previous experimental base was also in the parking lot, and it was used as a cover.
In other words, there might be a laboratory like Base 36 hidden underneath.
[Experiment… But why did people in the laboratory want to catch Gu Chi?]
Chi Ying suddenly remembered something, and she said,”I remember what Gu Chi said on the way to Yuhu City. He said that Yuhu City used to have a sub-base of the Human Ability Research Institute. Half a year ago, due to the excessive number of zombies, they had been forced to abolish it.”
She said in doubt, “This is the sub-base he mentioned?”
[Probably yes.]
Chi Ying frowned, “But hasn’t it been abolished, why is it still running now?”
After the zombies covering the metal were burned to ashes, the sound of the machinery running inside became more obvious.
[It is not mentioned in the book, so I have no idea.]
Chi Ying sighed, “I really shouldn’t have counted on you.”
[…QAQ…] (sad face)
She was not in a hurry, and first took out the communicator to contact Lu Yunfei who was observing the situation nearby.
“We found the location.” She whispered, “From now on, don’t get near me.”
That was what they agreed on.
“Yes, be careful,” Lu Yunfei looked at her from a distance, pursed his lips and said.
He took a breath. The plan had been made, no matter what happened, he couldn’t act impulsively.
…
After hanging up, Chi Ying seriously considered how to open that broken “lid”.
She tried to step on it with her foot, only to find that it was hard and thick.
[Try to see if you can cut it with the wind blade.]
Chi Ying nodded.
Hundreds of wind blades fell on the metal cover, except for leaving a little shallow scratches, it had almost no effect.
Chi Ying: “…”
She simply manipulated the soil ability, moved a lot of thick clod weighing several tons from nearby, and landed them on the cover with a “thump”.
The sound was too loud, and she covered her ears with her hands, while hitting it.
But at that moment, the man underground who was suffering from the same noise as her covered his ears, and hurriedly ordered someone to turn on the display screen in front of him.
