Zhang Zhiyin bought ten invisibility talismans from the item store and stuck them on. She planned to go to the secret laboratory of the E Experiment City at night.
This was the good thing about the item store. Most of the things inside were rare or not found in this world. Their application rules were also beyond the scope of this world. Thus, they were very effective and there were basically no hidden dangers.
Zhang Zhiyin went there for two days straight and used up all the invisibility charms. She found that the underground laboratory was very well sealed. There weren't many of them, only 13 of them had been here before. Normally, there would only be 7 or 8 people staying here. The overall level was much higher than the ability users of the Seven and Three Silver Stations. Most of them were level 5 or 6. The person who seemed to be the person in charge had even reached level 7. However, the Third and Seventh Stations had more people. There were almost a hundred of them in total.
The way they used their abilities was very strange, and they had the home advantage in their own laboratory. Zhang Zhiyin sneaked in once, but she stopped in front of a black metal door. The door had an extremely sensitive detection system that could detect the body temperature and mental fluctuations of living people. Even the invisibility talisman was useless.
The little angel's clairvoyance could sense that there was an underground space and the general structure of the space, but she couldn't accurately detect what was inside.
However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
Before Zhang Zhiyin could come up with a perfect plan to deal with them, the Seventh Station received news that there were strange disappearances at the Third Station.
When the members of the Third Station went out for a mission, four members of a small team suddenly disappeared. The Third Station sent a large team to search for the four, but they didn't find any clues. On the contrary, the number of people who returned was reduced by three. After that, the Third Station would form a large team of at least ten people every time. Even so, there were still people who went missing inexplicably. The other team members could see this person following them, but in the next second, they were gone. So far, the number of missing people at the Third Station had reached eleven.
The people from the Third Station couldn't sit still. They remembered the high-level mutant attack that the Seventh Station had mentioned and decided to report it to the Seventh Station and ask for help.
"We can preliminarily determine that the culprit of the disappearances is hiding in this area." The man from Station Three took out a marker and marked a red circle on the map of Mudao City. The 14th Street, the 15th Street, and the 16th Street were all circled in the circle. "And we think that they should be underground, and they should have a good device to shield their spirit power."
Both were right. Zhang Zhiyin had a bad premonition when she saw the three people analyzing the map bit by bit. It was too accurate. It was as if … the other party had deliberately lured them to this step.
He thought of the black door again. Although he did not know what was behind it, he thought that if they went underground, it would be a lot more difficult to move. The other party was fighting on their home ground, full of uncertain factors. If possible, he should try to avoid fighting them underground.
The Big Boss, who was still wearing a merchant's vest, stood behind the crowd and raised his eyebrows.
Although Zhiyin looked very cute when he begged him … he had to admit that after an objective analysis, those guys from the E Research Institute weren't people that the current Zhiyin could deal with. Even if Zhiyin used his gift shop, the chances of her winning weren't high. Her strength was her weakness … Moreover, his Zhiyin's IQ wasn't high either. In his eyes, it was simply too low. Although Zhiyin was stupid, he was still so cute that it would make people want to hold him in their hands and not let him go, afraid that he would die from his stupidity …
Although he was created by humans, he felt that humans were really weak. Even if Zhiyin became stronger one day, she wouldn't be that strong. There might be a difference in quality between 60 and 100, but it was nothing in front of a few hundred million.
Boss Yin's idea of keeping Bosom Friend in captivity was that his soft and super invincible little Bosom Friend would mischievously run out to deal with strange people every day, and then run back with tears in her eyes to hug him and complain, "Boohoo, XXX bullied me." Or she would excitedly say, "Today, I have XXX again." She would be happy about some simple things. He would be responsible for comforting and encouraging Zhiyin and hugging him to sleep. He would make Zhiyin happy every day and satisfy all of his wishes.
Of course, most of the above was still in the stage of imagination.
He would definitely help Zhiyin. But this didn't stop him from letting Shang Si take this chance to die normally.
In the future, he would be able to hug Zhiyin without any grudges …
Liu Zhu nudged him. "Deputy, what are you thinking about?"
Yin Nian said with a serious expression, "I'm thinking about how to save our comrades from Station Three."
The person in charge gave him a look of approval.
Liu Zhu: "…" As if! He must be thinking about Captain Zhang. Only when he was thinking about Captain Zhang would Deputy Shang, who had always been calm and cold to the point of being a bit gloomy, look like a blooming flower!
That was why one's face was actually very important. If Yin Nian wore his Dr. Y face, no matter what he was thinking or doing, he wouldn't look wretched or strange. That face had a naturally cold and aloof appearance that made people stay away from it. Ever since the card game, the reason why Shang Si was able to maintain a good image in the eyes of the bystanders and not be called a fool was all because of Yin Nian's temperament and aura.
The other party's actions were faster than they had imagined. The two people sent by Station Three to explain the situation hadn't left yet, and new information had already been sent over. The ability users from Station Three who went on a mission today discovered a strange entrance under the 14th Street Industrial Building. It seemed like there were people coming and going frequently.
They could already confirm that it was a trap.
Not only Zhiyin, but even the person in charge who didn't know the inside story frowned.
The person in charge reminded, "Something's not right."
The person from Station Three didn't say anything. He was looking at the message that Station Three had sent over. The two messages were sent less than three hours apart.
The person in charge also went over to take a look, and his face gradually turned pale.
"It's useless." The young man from Station Three muttered with a bitter expression on his face. "They captured our teammates and want to turn them into new mutants. We have to save them … Even if we don't care about them, unless we retreat, once the new mutants are successfully developed, we will all die here."
After discovering the abnormality of 14th Street, Sanzheng quickly formed a suicide squad to investigate the situation. None of them were able to leave the place, but they returned with information about their missing teammates and the inhumane underground mutant experiment. It seemed that the other party had deliberately sent them back.
The atmosphere in Station Three's conference room became heavy.
Zhang Zhiyin lowered his head. He had foreseen a bad ending from the game, but he had found out too late and didn't know enough. As a result, when the other party reached this step, they had no other choice but to retreat. However, there was still one suspicious point. Although communication was severely damaged in the apocalypse, the various bases, the neighboring frontline stations, as well as the communication between the frontline stations and the Alliance, had all been prioritized. However, in the game, the Alliance did not receive any news until the destruction of Station Seven and Station Three. They were completely unaware of what had happened here.
"Send a message to the Alliance, we are retreating." After weighing the situation, the person in charge decisively gave the order. According to the information they received, the new mutants were not something they could deal with. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. The other party's strength was mysterious and unknown. Even if they managed to win, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and they would definitely suffer heavy casualties. In the apocalypse, the ability users who were willing to join the Alliance and work together for the revival of humanity were the most precious resources. The best solution was to temporarily retreat to Station Five or Station Six and wait for further orders and support from the Alliance.
The other deputy person in charge, Vice Seat Qin, quickly tried to contact the Alliance.
"No, we can't contact them … Our communication has been cut off … We can't contact anyone beyond a certain range. Right now, we can only contact the nearest three stations!"
Communication. He had actually forgotten about this point. The inertia of living in the modern world made him forget how important and fragile communication was in the apocalypse. Zhang Zhiyin clenched his fist in hatred.
However, the current situation was different from the game. They had enough time to prepare and retreat to other stations. At this time, whether they could contact the Alliance's headquarters immediately was not that important.
Due to the interference of the Bathing Flame Base and the fact that Zhang Zhiyin and Shang Si had accidentally discovered and eliminated many of E's laboratory mutants, E's actions were much more rash and impatient than in the game. They were no longer completely traceless, so it was naturally difficult for them to catch the people of the two stations by surprise like in the game.
As long as they retreated, although they could not eliminate the other party and could not save the people of the three stations, at least they would not be completely wiped out.
The three stations quickly sent back news that they were in the same situation.
"Forget it, let's prepare to retreat to Station Six first before making any plans!" The person in charge quickly ordered.
The characteristic of the frontline stations was their high mobility. They could set off within half an hour.
The people of Station Seven could follow the orders of the person in charge and retreat, but the two people from Station Three looked at each other and stopped the people who were preparing to leave the conference room to pack up.
"I'm sorry, I know it's presumptuous to say this, and I shouldn't have made such a request … but we have to go back and take a look. Station Three has lost more than half of its strength. Are there any friends from Station Seven who are willing to go back with us and help us?" They looked at the people from Station Seven, their eyes filled with anxiety.
The person in charge frowned, "Your person in charge should understand that retreating at this time is the best choice."
The people from Station Three didn't say anything and just shook their heads. They suddenly knelt on the ground and choked with sobs, "Please help us brothers. If we are still alive, our lives will be yours in the future."
The situation of Station Three was rather special. For example, Station Seven was formed randomly by the teams sent by the bases, and they had no contact with each other. However, two-thirds of the people from Station Three came from the same big village near Mu Bai City. That village had a relatively high proportion of paranormals. Even at the end of the world, they still had a strong sense of nostalgia and clan ties. After joining the Alliance, they volunteered to help clean up the area around Mu Bai City.
However, as the two people from Station Three understood, there was a high chance that they would not be able to return. Normal people would not help them, and they would not complain. They should not have dragged other people into this mess, but at this time, they had no choice but to think of another chance.
The conference room fell into silence.
Someone suddenly said, "I will go with you."
It was Shang Si.
The people around shouted, "Vice-seat Shang!"
The person in charge said sternly, "Shang Si, you stay. Take your men with you."
However, the capricious Vice-seat Shang ignored him.
At this time, everyone looked at Zhang Zhiyin.
From their point of view, if there was one person who could persuade Vice-seat Shang not to go, it would be Captain Zhang.
Zhang Zhiyin was immersed in the frustration of not being able to save the people from Station Three and Station Seven even though he had the legendary cheat. Suddenly, he realized that everyone was looking at him.
Just now … it seemed like the people from Station Three asked for reinforcements, and Shang Si agreed to go with them? Why is everyone looking at me?
Under the pressure of the gazes, Zhang Zhiyin, who had not thought clearly about the situation, quickly said, "I will go with him."
His face was calm and his expression was serious.
He had teleportation talismans and flying flags, so his chances of escaping were the highest. Moreover, even if he died, he would not really die. Zhang Zhiyin also felt that he was the most suitable person to go with them.
The people who were hoping that Captain Zhang would stay with Vice-seat Shang were speechless.
