Chapter 55: The Fading City (20)
“Sister, go rest first; we’ll discuss the matter of leaving tomorrow,” Qin Mubai said, his gaze drifting away from the screen, his smile still evident.
The reason there are no rescue forces coming into Searle City is that the ravens have spread the virus throughout Attica and beyond.
This was expected. Compared to the initial outbreak in Searle City, other areas are in better condition and haven’t completely fallen.
There are only a few survivors left in Searle City. Instead of risking many elite personnel to save a few people in a city that's already lost, it’s better to control the virus’s spread and save more people elsewhere.
Searle City has long been abandoned.
The Council has decided to use a weapon to eliminate 300,000 zombies. Though he hadn’t considered this before, it wasn’t surprising.
Hundreds of thousands of zombies escaping from Searle City would undoubtedly cause a new disaster.
Game Sixteen Days.
The night had just faded. A light breeze rustled the corner of the blackout curtains, letting a sliver of golden sunlight fall onto the carpet.
The person on the sofa had their eyes closed, thick eyelashes resting on a delicate face, sleeping peacefully.
The door closed gently, and the soft sound made her suddenly open her eyes, revealing a calm and clear gaze.
It was obvious she had woken up early to wait here.
Qin Mubai, deliberately softening his footsteps, paused and smiled coldly. He thought he wouldn’t be noticed.
Qin Mubai approached the sofa and sat down, his voice low, “Sister.”
“Hmm.” Ye Nianchu propped up her forehead and smiled lazily. “What are you planning to do?”
What is he planning to do?
Of course, he plans to let the zombies in at the right moment and then take her out of here.
Qin Mubai lowered his gaze slightly. “I won’t hurt you, Sister.”
“I know.” Ye Nianchu set down her hand and said seriously, “Not only will you have to guard against zombies, but also against the people down there. Next time, I’ll go with you.”
Since we’re teammates, we should support each other.
Qin Mubai looked at her and finally said softly, “Alright.”
“How long before that guy from yesterday starts turning into a zombie?”
“Within today.” Qin Mubai smiled. “I saw the antidote with them.”
Ye Nianchu picked up the white paper and pen beside her and said thoughtfully, “Chu Yao will persuade Cheng Tianju to hand over the antidote, but what exactly is this so-called antidote to the zombie virus?”
She’s not naive. Being in the high ranks of the Shadow Alliance, where people are loyal to her, she knows how to play the game.
If she doesn’t help with the antidote now, she won’t earn people’s trust again.
“It’s more of a semi-finished product. It can temporarily slow down the virus in the body but cannot eliminate it. In fact, after several hours, it will speed up the virus’s outbreak and even its evolution.”
Qin Mubai paused here. What he didn’t say was that he was curious about what the virus would become under the semi-finished antidote's reverse enhancement.
“If there really was a complete antidote, the people in the lab wouldn’t be struggling with their infections. When I was there, some had already been quarantined due to infections, so I managed to get a sample of the antidote.”
Figure it out.
Is it really okay to make it sound so simple?
Ye Nianchu stopped writing and looked up, first at him, then following his gaze to her unfinished sketch.
She suddenly remembered his drawing from the last game.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have started it.
After a moment of silence, she cleared her throat. “The style of the painting doesn’t matter.”
Hotels have both guest and staff areas; a hotel of this size will certainly have staff access.
