These small courtyards are benefits provided by the guild to the supernatural team. Although they are not completely free, the price is so low that they can be ignored.
Of course, not all teams are willing to live in collective communities, especially those who are not short of money. Therefore, if conditions permit, many people are willing to go out and live on their own.
"Oh? Where is it? Is it for sale or rented? How is the security?"
Looking at the desolate and dilapidated small yard in front of me, I don't know how many days it will take to sort it out. Her family was not short of money, so Lin Qingqing decisively chose to live in a more comfortable place.
"They are all rented. There are three other places available now. The prices are different, but the safety is definitely higher than here. How about I take you to have a look?"
Seeing Lin Qingqing's move, the young man immediately said with a smile.
"Let's go, take us to see it first."
Hearing that the security was even higher than here, Lin Qingqing turned around and left without saying a word.
The young man introduced three places in total, all of which were single-family houses.
Two of them are Chinese-style courtyards and one is a Western-style villa. All three locations have a small courtyard. Apart from the difference in size, the environment and security are indeed pretty good.
After comparison, Lin Qingqing finally chose a smaller Chinese-style courtyard and rented it for 350 crystal cores a month.
"It's quite expensive here, but it's really worth it." After entering the small courtyard, Yin Yaxiu immediately changed the door lock, and then took Wen Ling and turned around every corner again.
This small courtyard comes with a parking garage that can park two cars. In addition, there is a small spare garden behind the house and a cellar with a capacity of 60 cubic meters.
"This cellar is good. If it is reinforced, it can fit two carts of supplies."
There are shared bedrooms upstairs, two of which are twice the size of the other rooms. If they are isolated, it will not be a problem for each person to have one room.
After the seven people divided the rooms, they each took a rest.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingqing discussed with everyone about going to the laboratory.
"This time I'm just going to hand over the task. There won't be any danger. I'd better go by myself and you guys can have a good rest at home."
The third laboratory is sixty or seventy kilometers away from the Anseong base. It is located far away from Anseong and there are no densely populated towns around it.
"I'm an investigator. I'm going with the captain." Wen Ling stood up and stood next to Lin Qingqing.
"Then I'll go too. I'll drive for the captain, and I can also protect the little bell." Seeing Wen Ling step forward, Qu Xingchi also raised his hand.
"How about I go too? If I encounter that kind of unreasonable researcher again, it only takes three seconds, no! In less than three seconds, I can paralyze the entire laboratory." At this time, Lei Min also stood up.
"What happens after you become paralyzed?"
"Then...ask Yaxiu to open the door?" Lei Min grabbed his hair and pulled Yin Yaxiu over again.
"Then let Cheng Xiaohe go in and threaten them with poison? Or let Song Qiao directly kill the two leaders?" Lin Qingqing looked at Lei Min, and her forehead started to beat.
"...There's no need for this." Lei Min rubbed his ears nonchalantly.
Lin Qingqing looked at Qu Xingchi and Lei Min speechlessly: "I'm just going to hand in a task, and Xiao Lingdang can follow me. Why are you two joining in the fun?"
"And we have just arrived at the Anseong base, and there are still many things to do. Since the previous batch of goods has been seen by others, we should contact people as soon as possible to take action. Captain Huang was right about one thing yesterday. It is true that those things have been left for a long time. It’s a problem.”
After a pause, Lin Qingqing continued: "You are responsible for this Yaxiu."
"As for Minmin and Xingchi, if you two have nothing to do, you can check out the situation at Ancheng Base. If nothing happens, we will live here permanently."
In fact, Lin Qingqing doesn't want to run around all day long. She also hopes to have everyone stationed in one base. Unfortunately, she has never found a suitable place before.
Unlike Yeongseong and Xiangseong, the Anseong base is a brand new one for them.
It's a good place, and there's a high probability that no one will know them here, and there are no relationships or interests involved, so it's a good place to start over.
After assigning their respective tasks, Lin Qingqing drove Wen Ling to the third laboratory together.
"Captain, do you think there are too few zombies along the way?" Wen Ling's voice was filled with doubts.
When they came out of the Ancheng base, they could still encounter a few zombies from time to time, but as they walked forward, there were fewer and fewer zombies. Now, there are almost no zombies within the range of Wen Ling's powers, let alone high-level zombies, not even first- and second-level zombies.
"Perhaps for the safety of the laboratory, someone specially cleaned up the zombies around." Lin Qingqing thought for a while and said.
Such a large-scale "vacuum" zone was obviously not formed naturally, but could only be man-made. As for whether they killed all the zombies or drove them to other places, they don't know.
Hearing what she said, Wen Ling felt relieved.
The more than 60 kilometers of road can be reached in the blink of an eye.
But when looking at the ruins in front of her that looked like they had been bombarded by artillery shells, Lin Qingqing seriously doubted whether she had gone the wrong way.
"Captain, there are no zombies here."
Wen Ling couldn't see what was going on outside. When she saw Lin Qingqing standing still, she thought she was waiting for her reconnaissance results.
"Well, let's go, let's go in and take a look first." Lin Qingqing said, slowly driving the car in.
There were no people or zombies in this area. Lin Qingqing drove the car and carefully searched for traces of the laboratory, but after searching around, she found nothing.
——Did you really go the wrong way?
Lin Qingqing looked around. There were only ruins and ruins around. Not to mention signs, there was not even a rut mark on the road.
"Who are these two people? Why are they here?"
The moment Lin Qingqing entered the ruins, their figures had been photographed by the hidden electronic eye and transmitted to the laboratory's monitoring room.
At this time, all that was playing on the screen on half the wall of the monitoring room was the black off-road vehicle.
"They seem to be looking for something."
"Are you looking for the entrance to the laboratory? That's impossible. We haven't received any notification from above that anyone has come recently."
"Don't move yet, wait for me to search the records." At this time, a middle-aged man with gray hair started rummaging through a stack of information.
"Yes, here, about half a month ago, the Xiangcheng base said they would send someone to escort an experimental sample."
"Half a month? It's been so long, could it be them?"
"We'll find out if we verify it later. The team's code name is YR-109, and the captain's surname is Lin."
"female?"
"I don't know, it's not mentioned in the information."
"But there are only two people on the other side..."
"Then let them go to the C-3 entrance first. Remember, they must check their identities carefully. I will inform Assistant Liu now." The gray-haired middle-aged man directed his men to lead the way to the black off-road vehicle outside, while using the communication Contact the superior.
Lin Qingqing and Wen Ling were driving around in the ruins when a man's voice suddenly came from a tree on the roadside: "Visitor, please state your name."
The sound appeared very suddenly. Lin Qingqing stopped the car, stuck her head out of the car window, and followed the sound to find a glowing red dot on the treetop.
"YR-109, I received a request from the Xiangcheng base and sent me a piece of information." As she said that, she took out her team's badge and pointed it at the red dot and shook it.
It's really them!
After carefully checking the authenticity of the badge, the people in the monitoring room led the person to a building.
"Come in through the side door and follow the elevator on the left to the first floor below."
Lin Qingqing followed the voice and parked the car at the door. Then she led Wen Ling and the silver suitcase into the building. Following the instructions, she pressed the button for the first floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, eight heavily armed security guards came forward. In addition, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a young woman wearing white overalls.
"Please show me your ID." The middle-aged man's voice was low. He held a gun in his hand and looked very cautious.
Lin Qingqing didn't say much when she saw this. She handed the suitcase to Wen Ling, and then took out the team's badge and a letter of introduction from Ancheng Base.
After the middle-aged man took it, he read it carefully, then nodded and handed the letter of introduction to the young woman next to him.
After reading the letter, the young woman glanced at the box in Wen Ling's arms, and then invited them to the reception room.
"Captain Lin, right? Please come with me."
Lin Qingqing held Wen Ling's hand. The security guards behind her, except for the middle-aged man and two of his subordinates, also followed, and everyone else dispersed.
A group of six people arrived at a small reception room. Two security guards guarded the door. The middle-aged man walked in with them, and then stood behind the young woman.
"My surname is Liu, you can call me Assistant Liu."
"Hello Assistant Liu, I'm Lin Qingqing."
After shaking hands, the two took their seats one after another. Lin Qingqing placed the silver-white suitcase on the table and pushed it to the opposite side: "All the information is here."
The young woman took the box, entered the password, and the password lock opened. In addition to a letter, some paper information, and two microhard drives, there were three test tubes inside.
Assistant Liu first opened the letter and scanned it carefully, and then carefully checked the contents of the box.
Unexpectedly, people still used letter paper to write letters these days, so Lin Qingqing glanced at it curiously. Then she accidentally saw the three words "Tang Mingnian" written in handwriting through the transparent back of the paper where the signature was written.
——The letter was actually written by Tang Mingnian?
Lin Qingqing hid her surprise and calmly turned her eyes aside. But I was secretly wondering, "Is this mission really coming from the Tang family?"
——What ability does the Tang family have that they can actually interfere in laboratory matters? Or do they have anything to do with the Third Laboratory?
This third laboratory is not an ordinary place. Although it only uses a number as its name, everyone who needs to know knows that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is behind the laboratory.
——As a businessman, does the Tang family have some unknown means and background? But it doesn't look like it. At least when they were at the Xiangcheng base, they didn't show any fearful strength.
——And from the current point of view, it is 100% sure that the Qingmang team received this mission is not a coincidence. What is this Tang Mingnian planning?
