Chapter 389 Going to Investigate
Everything was normal a few days ago.
Just today, a reconnaissance team led by Hui Yiqin suddenly sent a distress signal.
Before we could even reach the base on the island in the middle of the lake, we made contact with them via radio to inquire about the specific situation.
They completely lost contact!
“I originally wanted to take people to rescue them, but I was worried about what trouble might come of it, so I was just about to contact you, Boss Su.”
Shi Menglei recounted the whole story.
After hearing this, Su Chen fell into deep thought.
Logically speaking.
Reconnaissance soldiers like Tan Chen and Hui Yiqin are undoubtedly highly capable.
They could easily kill even hundreds of ordinary zombies.
Unless they encounter a powerful mutated zombie, they can escape even if they can't win!
But they only had time to send a distress signal before contact was lost.
This only proves one thing: the one who attacked them was definitely a formidable enemy!
After thinking it through, Su Chen shook his head.
"Let everyone disperse!"
"It's over?"
Shi Menglei was stunned.
"It's getting dark soon. If we go out to rescue them now, do you want to lose even more lives?"
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Shi Menglei glanced at the setting sun before realizing what he meant.
It's the apocalypse now, and once it gets dark, you can't see your hand in front of your face outside the base.
Moreover, the outside world is fraught with danger, so going out at night would be suicidal!
"All right!"
Shi Menglei nodded somewhat helplessly.
Although he was worried about Hui Yiqin and the others, he also knew that going out after dark would be tantamount to suicide!
"Have the brothers get ready; we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."
Su Chen thought for a moment, then added,
"Let Lao Xu and the others go with us."
"what?"
Shi Menglei was taken aback.
"Should we invite Lao Xu and the others too?"
Unlike the guards.
Evolvers like Lao Xu are not usually assigned tasks; they are generally free to move around as they please.
They would occasionally go out to hunt zombies and obtain energy crystals.
Unless something important happens.
"If I'm not mistaken, there must be some big trouble. Let's call them in, just in case."
Su Chen said seriously.
Shi Menglei nodded and turned to leave.
Su Chen also returned to Normadison.
Just now, Wang Bingyan finished her work and returned to her car.
She was leaning against the sofa, her face pale.
Zhou Rong, who was standing nearby, handed her some water and said with concern,
"Bingyan, why are you working so hard?"
"Mom, I'm just doing my normal job."
Wang Bingyan forced a smile.
"Even with normal work, you shouldn't overwork your body."
Su Chen spoke softly.
He could tell at a glance that Wang Bingyan was in this state because she had overused her supernatural abilities and exhausted her mental energy.
"I remember."
Wang Bingyan nodded obediently.
"That's pretty much it."
Su Chen smiled with satisfaction, then addressed the women.
"You guys stay at the base tomorrow, I'm going out for a bit."
He told the women about the danger that Hui Yiqin and the others had encountered.
Upon hearing this, the women felt a chill run down their spines.
"Master, please be careful and protect yourself."
"Don't worry, if anything happens to anyone, nothing will happen to me."
Su Chen comforted them.
……
Early the next morning.
Shi Menglei has already assembled a convoy.
While the rescue and reconnaissance team is extremely important, the safety of the island in the middle of the lake is of paramount importance.
Today, the guard team on the island in the middle of the lake has a total of about 500 people.
There are also 500 survivors who are in reserve.
Shi Menglei selected a total of one hundred guards, and Xu Wenyue's sixteen-person evolutionary team also accompanied them.
"Brother Su, we can go, you stay at the base?"
Looking at Su Chen getting into the jeep, Xu Wenyue said with a smile.
"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll go with you guys."
Su Chen shook his head.
If he's not at the base, then forget it.
Since we're already at the base and this incident has occurred, it's natural that we should go with them.
"That's okay too!"
Xu Wenyue rubbed his hands together excitedly and laughed.
"I can fight alongside Brother Su again!"
"Alright, we all need to be careful!"
Su Chen glanced at the convoy and said via walkie-talkie,
"Captain Shi, we can set off now!"
"Yes, Boss Su!"
With Su Chen's order, a convoy of more than a dozen jeeps and several military trucks roared away from the lake island base.
Before losing contact, Hui Yiqin and others reported their last location to about 20 kilometers to the south.
Recently, the climate has gradually returned to normal.
The original snow has also melted over a large area.
Everywhere except the highways became muddy and difficult to traverse.
It took the entire Tiger Gang a morning to travel those twenty kilometers before they finally arrived.
"Boss Su, we've arrived at our destination. What's next?"
Shi Menglei approached the jeep where Su Chen was and asked for instructions.
"You're the commander-in-chief this time, so just listen to you."
Su Chen waved his hand.
Although he is the true leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, he generally does not interfere in all matters.
For example, in this rescue operation, he appointed Shi Menglei as the commander-in-chief.
After all, professional matters should be left to professionals.
"Ok!"
Shi Menglei nodded, then called over all the high-ranking members of the guard team.
"See that little hill? Let's use it as our campsite for now."
"Send out small teams to search the surrounding areas, using it as the center."
"Report immediately if you discover any clues!"
"Yes!"
The officers of the guard all responded and came down.
Under his direction, the group arrived at the nearby hillside.
They used vehicles to fence off the hillside, creating a makeshift campsite.
After a quick lunch, the more than one hundred people split into teams of ten and began searching the surrounding area.
Su Chen was also busy.
He led Mengqi, Xu Wenyue, and others, searching in one of the directions.
Unlike Su Chen and the others, who were on guard, Meng Qi, who had returned to nature, was extremely free.
It darted left and right, occasionally running to the front of the line and turning its head to look at Su Chen.
That meant they were urging Su Chen to hurry up!
"Brother Su, is it possible that Hui Yiqin and the others will encounter a horde of zombies or mutated zombies?"
Xu Wenyue asked as he walked.
"I hope so."
Su Chen sighed.
"Are you worried about... the monster in the pit?"
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded.
His expression was somewhat solemn.
If it were zombies, even high-level zombies, Su Chen could organize a team and have a chance to kill them.
But if it's a monster from the deep pit, then that would be troublesome.
The strength of the monsters in the deep pit can be seen from the Ghost-Faced Spider.
It's so close to the island in the middle of the lake; if it were to sneak over there, it would be a real problem.
Just then, Mengqi in front of them suddenly started meowing.
