Chapter 360: Three Hundred and Sixty Chapters: Light Blue
As Su Jin and the others rented a three-bedroom suite, Cen Chu began to see them in a new light. He knew that the price of such a suite wasn’t cheap, and the minimum rental period here was three months.
However, considering their abilities demonstrated that afternoon, he didn’t say anything about it.
Although there were dormitories within the E City Base, Su Jin felt that they lacked privacy and preferred renting a suite, even though they wouldn’t stay for three months.
Cen Chu also introduced the base’s cafeteria and other places to them, and Lu Hao took the opportunity to ask about how to find people within the base.
“There is a bulletin board in the base dedicated to finding people; you can check there. But the information is all over the place; it’s better to go directly to the base’s administrative building for help in searching,”
Cen Chu patiently explained to them.
“Can one actually find people in the administrative building?” Su Jin asked in surprise.
“Well, yes, but most of those records are from the past. If someone has arrived recently, they might not be found,” said Cen Chu.
This news delighted Su Jin and the others. If they could find Dr. Pei successfully, wouldn’t that mean they could return soon?
But now that it was late, they decided to start looking for people the next day.
After saying goodbye to Cen Chu, they took a simplified map of the base and headed to their rented house.
The E City Base was also built in the suburbs of E City, surrounding an old district. The house assigned to them was located in the middle of that district.
Considering the absence of elevators and the small number of tenants in the district, the rental office allowed them to choose whichever floor they wanted. After discussing it, Su Jin and the others directly chose a second-floor suite.
Su Jin chose a furnished room, although it cost several more Crystal Cores.
The dust inside the room was thick, showing that not many people lived in the houses of E City Base.
Once Mao Qiqi entered the base, she had the entire layout within the coverage of her map.
In her small map, there were humans, zombies, zombie animals, and mutant animals, but the zombies and animals were all concentrated in one area.
“That must be the research institute. Maybe Dr. Pei and the others are inside,” Su Jin speculated.
“We’ll start by gathering information tomorrow. If we confirm they are indeed inside the research institute, then we’ll make additional plans,”
Lu Hao discussed with the others.
At that moment, Su Jin noticed Qiqi, who seemed to have been contemplating something ever since they entered the base.
“Qiqi, what’s wrong?” Su Jin asked.
Mao Qiqi had indeed been focusing on her small map. Zombies were one thing, but why was there a pale blue dot inside the base?
If red and orange represented zombies and animals, what then was that sole pale blue dot?
Furthermore, it was moving, not stationary, and even crossed streets before finally stopping at one place.
A blue dot?
After hearing Mao Qiqi’s doubts, Su Jin admitted she didn’t know either, and after all this time since the Apocalypse, Qiqi’s map had never shown a blue dot before.
“Ah-ha! I’ve got it!” Lin Xiuyuan suddenly realized.
“Got what?”
“If you don’t want to get beaten up, you’d better roll out of here right now,”
After Lian Jiyue spoke, he couldn’t help but frown again. He felt that his temper seemed more and more volatile lately. Upon seeing Lian Ze, he couldn’t wait to… to beat him up right then and there.
“I’m just here because I need your help. Father told me before he left, if there were any issues, to come to you,”
Lian Ze said earnestly to Lian Jiyue.
Suppressing the irritation in his heart, Lian Jiyue drank a bottle of water from the table and sat down before asking Lian Ze, “What help?”
He knew Lian Ze never lied and always took other people’s words seriously. If he said he came for something, he definitely needed that something.
Lian Ze took out a black mobile phone and handed it to him, saying, “Help me find the woman in the video at the S City base. Her name is Su Jin.”
The video was shot from a distance, and Lian Jiyue couldn’t see the face of the woman in the video clearly, but he did recognize the Fire Element man beside her. Recalling the two he had seen back in H City, he immediately realized who the two people in the video were.
“What do you want with her?” Lian Jiyue asked.
“I’m curious about her Special Ability, how she controls those Mutated Plants. I want to research her,”
Lian Ze replied without any hint of concealment.
“Like you treat those who participate in your experiments?”
Remembering the horrific corpses he saw when he visited the research institute, Lian Jiyue’s anger rose a notch.
“Brother, I think you’re mistaken. Those people all volunteered. Some were sent by their family members; others were criminals condemned to death in the base. Even Feifei agreed to it. I’ve asked them or their family members properly. I didn’t force anyone,”
Lian Ze’s response was emotionless, and although Lian Jiyue knew what he said was true, he still couldn’t help but throw a punch at that face!
