Chapter 173 Crazy
Chapter 173 Crazy
The restricted supernatural weapons, the inability to improve strength, and the power gathered here as the giant deer with human speech spoke of—all these things seem unrelated, yet they all seem to point to the same goal.
Lu Yize remained silent, pondering the anomalies of the later stages of the apocalypse in his previous life, where top humans in various bases died one after another, and exotic beasts and plants were not as active as in the early stages of the apocalypse.
Humans and zombies fought each other for a tiny living space, and Lu Yize recalled the forces that had previously dominated the entire continent.
Those who conducted the experiments were discovered in the early stages of the apocalypse, but they still remained there in the later stages. It is conceivable that Mu Fei and his team's operation failed in their previous life.
He had never heard of these people's names in the later stages of the apocalypse, and he guessed they were already dead before he came out of the laboratory.
Mu Fei and the fifth squad leader were planning the operation. Lu Yize listened without saying a word, but he still felt that one part of the plan was unclear.
This operation cannot be accomplished in a short time. The Fifth Squad Leader said, "Entering the deep sea requires sufficient preparation. We need another half month. During this half month, everyone needs to improve their abilities to prepare for future infiltration."
"Especially in the deep sea, we may encounter high-level sea beasts and threatening zombie kings. We still need to improve our abilities as soon as possible."
Chen Mingzhang had already covered almost everything known at today's meeting before announcing its adjournment. They would then hold separate meetings to discuss the matter further.
Xian Wenrui and the others did not go back. Chen Mingzhang arranged for them to stay temporarily at the base. They followed Lu Yize into the house.
Zhang Wenjing spoke first, "I will participate in this infiltration no matter what."
There was no need for Lu Yize and the others to take risks with her, and Zhang Wenjing didn't want to put them in a difficult position. She spoke first, saying that she needed to figure things out as soon as possible and avenge her sister.
Lu Yize originally had no interest in joining in this kind of excitement. To him, what did it matter whether humans lived or died? Even if he created the whole world to death, it wouldn't matter, since that was how it was anyway.
However, thinking about those things from his past life, Lu Yize couldn't calm down. Cui Yingying and Dong Hong, who had tormented him for four years, were not the culprits, yet he had still reduced them to ashes.
How could he possibly let go of those who truly tormented him? Of course, Lu Yize also wanted to find another person. He looked at the spot between Jiang Yue's eyebrows. He had not forgotten the water-type ability user who had driven him and Jiang Yue to the brink of despair.
No matter what, I must kill him to vent my anger.
"Brother Lu, should we get involved in this?" Fan Jian frowned, his eyes filled with doubt. These things didn't really concern them much, but his instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made him ask this question.
Sheng Xue glanced at Fan Jian, hesitated, and finally looked down at her palm without saying anything.
Lu Yize stared at Fan Jian, thought for a moment, and finally spoke, "Well, we have to kill the people who deserve to be killed."
Fan Jian was taken aback when he heard this, but then he gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and said, "Okay, Brother Lu, I'll do whatever you say! I'll follow you no matter what!"
Upon hearing this, Xian Wenrui immediately nodded, "Since you all say so, of course you can't leave me out. I'll come along too. It's just a small lab, it's not that scary. We'll take it down."
"Besides, I also want to see what kind of shady experiments they've done, and whether their experiments are of any use to us."
Xian Wenrui wasn't interested in human experimentation, but he was more interested in weapons manufacturing, so that laboratory must have plenty of them.
They had already made their decision, so Sheng Xue naturally wouldn't say anything more. All she could do was be the last line of defense in dangerous situations.
With no ability to protect themselves, healing-type characters can only stay in the rear even if they want to help.
The group rested in several separate rooms. Sheng Xue and Zhang Wenjing were in one room, lying on their beds, each lost in thought.
"Are you asleep?" Zhang Wenjing asked when she heard the sound of someone turning over.
Sheng Xue paused in her turning over, then said, "Not yet."
"Have you been having something on your mind lately?" Zhang Wenjing asked.
Sheng Xue didn't speak. After a long silence, she sighed softly, "It's nothing. I just haven't been sleeping well these past few days. I often have nightmares and overthink things. There's nothing else. Don't worry."
Zhang Wenjing hesitated, sensing that she was hiding something, but didn't press her for details. "Okay, you can tell me when you want to."
"Thank you..." Before Sheng Xue could finish speaking, their room was suddenly knocked on—no, not knocked on, but rather struck by an unusual object.
Zhang Wenjing stood up instantly. Strange sounds came from outside, like crying or even roaring. Sheng Xue also propped herself up, gripping her weapon tightly. Zhang Wenjing shielded her behind her, and the two exchanged a glance.
However, it was clear that this was not their imagination. A sharper sound followed immediately from outside, and the glass in the window was smashed and cracked. The creatures outside did not stop.
Just before he was about to break through the window, Zhang Wenjing launched an attack on him, a mental attack invading his mind, but Zhang Wenjing's mind was ejected the next moment.
Zhang Wenjing, who was usually calm and composed, was now so angry that her eyes were red, and she seemed to be filled with disbelief and hatred. "This is impossible!"
