Chapter 189 Why didn't they just rob it?
Liu Jia looked at Ji Lang, who was sitting on the ground opposite him, in disbelief, but because everyone was wearing protective masks, he couldn't see Ji Lang's expression at all.
"Yang Xiao and Lu Yuan, whom Lin and I met at the research institute, must have been sneaking out of the base. Their goal should be the same as ours." After all, they were members of the same team, and Ji Lang's team members had all been sacrificed, leaving only the four of them. Therefore, he did not want to hide anything from Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai.
"You mean, they're also here looking for that classified document?" Liu Jia found it unbelievable. They, Ji Lang, and Lin Yun didn't know what the classified document was, and the South China Base hadn't given them any clear information either. But Lu Yuan and his group were also here looking for this thing, which meant that Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao probably knew more about the contents of the classified document than the four of them.
“Yes, but Zhong Qiang came with Wen Zhou’s team.” Ji Lang nodded and continued, “According to Zhong Qiang, as soon as Wen Zhou and his team arrived at the building where we landed, which is the new building of the research institute, they abandoned Zhong Qiang and left.”
"Leaving someone in a place like Beijing, where you don't know anyone, is like not wanting them to live." Liu Jia's words were something Ji Lang had always been unwilling to face. Whether the decision was made solely by Wen Zhou or instructed by someone in the base, it was an enormous blow to him.
“If you think this place is alright…” Ji Lang knew that Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai would most likely not choose to stay at the Beijing base, since Wen Zhou had already decided to stay here. They were now enemies, but the two of them might not want to go back to the South China base now.
“Even if Lao Wang and I don’t go back to the South China base, we still have to go find Lao Er first.” After Liu Jia finished speaking, he didn’t continue the topic. The two remained silent until Lin Yun and Wang Sanhai got up to change shifts.
DAY134
When Lu Yuan woke up, Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai were cleaning up the coffee cans they had used while on night duty. Lin Yun and Ji Lang were no longer in the room; it seemed they had left early in the morning.
“That guy Zhao Qi called them both out early this morning,” Wang Sanhai explained, seeing Lu Yuan searching for them. “That bastard has amazing energy. Damn it, when I opened the door this morning, I saw that bastard doing that damn thing outside our room last night.”
Considering that Lu Yuan and the others are still students, Wang Sanhai has done his best to reduce the amount of profanity he uses, but this sentence still contains a lot of swear words from beginning to end.
"What? It was that Captain Zhao last night?" Zhong Qiang jumped out of bed the moment he heard "last night." "Holy crap, he's that strong?"
"Bullshit, there were several people yesterday, and he was just so-so." As soon as Yang Xiao said this, everyone in the room fell silent, staring at him in shock, including Ji Lang and Lin Yun who had just entered.
"You listened to the whole thing yesterday?" Ji Lang felt completely stunned. He never expected Yang Xiao to pull this stunt.
"Why wouldn't we listen to something that's free? It's just a shame there are no pictures." Yang Xiao said, taking the toiletries Lu Yuan had given him to the bathroom. Just before leaving, he turned back and added, "Don't you guys watch movies?"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to go and beat that Zhao guy up right now!" Ji Lang felt like he was about to explode, and turned around to find Zhao Qi who had just left.
"What? Looking for me?" As luck would have it, Zhao Qi walked back. "I was just about to tell you that a mission team is going out today. If you want to go, you can go with them."
"Are you going on a mission?" Upon hearing Zhao Qi's words, Yang Xiao, who had already entered the washroom, poked his head out again with a toothbrush in his mouth.
"Hi, good morning. I didn't see you last night." Zhao Qi winked at Yang Xiao, but Yang Xiao ignored him and went back into the bathroom.
"Heh." Zhao Qi didn't react excessively to Yang Xiao's attitude. He just smiled, patted Ji Lang's shoulder, and turned to leave.
"Can you please stop provoking Zhao Qi?" Ji Lang said angrily. As soon as Zhao Qi left, he rushed into the bathroom. "You know perfectly well what that guy meant."
"Heh." Yang Xiao glanced at Ji Lang, ignored him, and turned back to continue washing up.
"Captain Ji, are you guys going to do the bulletin board task?" Lu Yuan, who had finished washing up, remembered what Zhao Qi had mentioned earlier.
"This morning, Captain Ji and I went to ask. They said we can leave, but we have to pay 100 level 5 or higher crystals and 50 level 6-7 crystals." Ji Lang was getting a little annoyed by Yang Xiao's attitude, so Lin Yun answered the question first.
"Why don't they just rob it?" Zhong Qiang looked up in surprise, his toothpaste foam still in his mouth, almost blowing it onto Yang Xiao's face.
"Are there really that many level 6-7 zombies in Beijing?" Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai also felt that the number was a bit exaggerated. 100 level 5 zombies would be understandable, but where would they find so many level 6-7 zombies? Moreover, among them, only Ji Lang and Lin Yun were level 7, while he and Wang Sanhai had only just entered level 6 in terms of ability.
"It's obvious they're not letting us leave." After washing up, Yang Xiao handed his toiletries to Lu Yuan to put into his spatial storage. He then changed into clean clothes taken out of his spatial storage before feeling completely comfortable.
"If we really want to leave, it's none of their business whether they agree or not." Ji Lang was like a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to protect its own offspring and tear anyone it could get its hands on to pieces.
"Captain Ji, calm down." Lin Yun immediately felt overwhelmed.
“Captain Ji is right. We want to leave, and we don’t need their permission. But we do need to thank them for saving our lives.” Lu Yuan agreed with Ji Lang’s statement, but the reason Ji Lang and Lin Yun went to ask Zhao Qi in the morning was because they were indeed rescued by Zhao Qi’s team yesterday.
"How about we give them some supplies?" Zhong Qiang asked tentatively. "That's how it's written in novels. If we give them enough supplies, they should let us go, right?"
"What do you mean by letting us go?" Yang Xiao immediately slapped Zhong Qiang on the head.
“Now that Zhong Qiang has said that, I suspect they’re deliberately keeping us here, because Ji and I are level seven ability users, Lu Yuan is a space-type ability user, and Yang Xiao and Zhong Qiang are support-type ability users.” Lin Yun suddenly interrupted their argument, “They want to keep us here.”
“Space ability users are fine, they already have quite a few level seven ability users here, one more won’t make a difference. There aren’t many support-type ability users to begin with, and not many people know about them, so I don’t think they’re their target.” Liu Jia could understand Lu Yuan’s special situation. After all, among the four major bases, only Lu Yuan and the Central China base have registered space ability users. It’s unknown whether other personal bases have ever appeared. So, among them, Lu Yuan is probably the one they need the most. “Moreover, Lu Yuan knows that Jiang Yun.”
