Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter Three Hundred and Seventy-Six: Being Searched

There is no longer a Base Leader in E-city base, and since the Base Leader’s father is also not in E-city at the moment, only Han Wan remained to preside over the situation.

Han Wan hadn’t expected Lian Jiyue to be able to escape, but according to the reports from her subordinates, Lian Jiyue seemed to have mutated. Maybe he had a moment of clarity when he fled, but Han Wan felt certain that he couldn’t escape the fate of becoming a zombie, especially since he had left alone. Everyone knew how dangerous it was outside the base.

Although she did not know why he took a little girl with him during his escape, maybe the little girl had already been eaten by him…

This incident had just brought her a short-lived joy when a shaking like an earthquake passed through the base, and it wasn’t long before Han Yizhou furiously found her.

“What? Our research institute was blown up by someone?!”

The pleasant surprise Han Wan had just received was instantly dissipated by anger.

That was the research institute of her son!

Who could have been so bold?!

“Search, we must search, find whoever did it and feed them to the zombies!”

Han Wan angrily slammed the table, and her jade bracelet shattered in response.

“Mom, did you do what happened to my brother?”

Lian Ze walked in and asked Han Wan expressionlessly.

That pharmaceutical product couldn’t have been taken out by anyone other than an insider.

“Lian Ze, how could your mother have done it? I have already dispatched someone to investigate, and it turned out to be that resentful nanny who sneaked the drug into his cup,” Han Yizhou said.

“Uncle, are you lying to me? How could a nanny get her hands on the pharmaceutical products?”

For the first time, Lian Ze began to doubt the words of others.

“Because… that nanny’s son is the current captain of the security team. For a captain, it should be quite easy to acquire, right?” Han Wan added.

Lian Ze was silent for a while, then said to Han Wan, “That captain… can I handle him?”

“Of course, you can,”

Han Wan said with a smile. After all, a person who had outlived their usefulness was no longer important, whether they existed or not.

…

In a courtyard of E-city base, Cen Chu looked anxiously at the security team members who had suddenly burst in.

“By the orders of higher-ups, someone carrying the Zombie Virus might have infiltrated the base, and we need your cooperation for the investigation,”

the man leading the team said.

Cen Chu remembered this person was a squad leader in the security team named Feng Xingzhou.

“Carrying the Zombie Virus?!”

Cen Chu feigned a shocked expression, then quickly asked several team members to clear a path, expressing his willingness to fully cooperate with the investigation.

Feng Xingzhou was quite satisfied with the cooperation from Cen Chu and his people, turning to those behind him, he commanded, “Search! Check under the beds and in the cabinets, don’t miss a single corner!”

“Yes!”

One after the other, the team members entered to search Cen Chu’s courtyard, leaving no stone unturned, including the vehicles parked in the yard and the space beneath them.

Zhuozhuo, Hao Anping, and a few others knew that Cen Chu had taken on a deal, and they also knew that there were people hidden upstairs. The group tried to maintain their composure, but Zhuozhuo still crouched down anxiously.

Feng Xingzhou frowned at the woman crouching on the ground. Did she know something?

Cen Chu looked at Zhuozhuo with mixed emotions. She seemed to have changed quite a bit lately. Was it because she was worried he would kick her out now that she was pregnant? _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

Tan Yiran was also clutching the blanket tightly, trying to divert his attention. The blankets must be made of cotton; they feel quite warm. Back when he was little, at his hometown, he also used to be covered with cotton blankets…

Footsteps sounded, and two public security officers made their way to the rooftop.

The desolate rooftop was swept by the cold wind, with a few pots of withered green plants and a stainless-steel clothes rack beside it, a few articles of clothing still hanging from it. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

To the two security officers, this scene seemed all too common.

“The wind is too strong up here; no one could hide,” said one of them.

“Yeah, let’s go!”

After the other one spoke, the sound of departing footsteps arose.

Fang Zhengyang struggled to cover his mouth. When a gust of wind blew by just then, he nearly sneezed. Thankfully, he managed to hold it in.

Pei Yuan felt like he was about to have a heart attack from fright. When the two men had glanced in their direction, he almost thought they would be discovered.

But although those people had left, they still had to keep waiting there.

Waiting for those young people to come and lead them out.

Waiting to return to their hometown.

Waiting to slowly repay this favor…

Seeing the public security officers leave, Cen Chu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Zhuozhuo, still sitting on the stone steps, and said, “Come inside; it’s cold out here…”

When Feng Xingzhou left, he handed Cen Chu a signed proof.

Now, even if a team were to leave the base for a mission, they would need this document; it served as proof that their team had been searched and was cleared for passage.
