Anseong Base.
By the time Lin Qingqing killed the last zombie and returned to the base, the battle at Haixia Base was over.
And except for her, all other members of the Qingmang team have already returned to the base.
"Captain, you are finally back!"
Seeing Lin Qingqing's safe return, everyone's hearts finally dropped.
"I heard that zombies have besieged Haixia Base? What is the specific situation?" Lin Qingqing threw the bag containing the crystal core to Yin Yaxiu, and then asked while disassembling the equipment.
"Haixia Base suffered the largest siege of zombies since the end of the world. It is speculated that the reasons for the base's fall are as follows..."
Cheng Xiaohe pushed up his glasses and described the entire incident in detail in a few words.
"This zombie wave did not come suddenly. Haixia Base had noticed it four hours in advance. However, the zombies gathered too fast and in extremely large numbers."
"how many?"
"More than 100 million."
"So many..." Lin Qingqing paused. The emergence of new zombies such as level 7 spiritual zombies, dual-type zombies, and suture zombies was within her expectation. However, she did not expect that the number of zombies could exceed One hundred million.
"This is definitely not something that a seventh-level spiritual zombie can organize," Lin Qingqing said with certainty.
"Yeah, so some people speculate that there might be a higher-level, lower-level zombie behind it."
——Not maybe, but definitely. Lin Qingqing said silently in her heart.
The Qingmang team has been dealing with zombies for so long. Although they cannot be said to have a 100% understanding of them, they all have a very clear understanding of the habits of zombies, especially the range of abilities of advanced zombies.
"Isn't level seven and up to level eight? Is there really a zombie king?" Qu Xingchi swallowed. He had just been promoted to level five, and the highest level zombie was already three times higher than him. It’s a big level, how can anyone survive like this?
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Whether they are level seven or eight, they are definitely a very small number now," Lin Qingqing said softly, looking at everyone's solemn expressions.
"Well, yes, judging from the current situation, humans must still be able to scare them, otherwise these high-level zombies would have killed them directly, and it would be impossible to summon so many low-level zombies to attack the city," Cheng Xiaohe He nodded.
What both of them said made sense, and everyone suddenly felt less nervous.
"Okay, let's not talk about zombies for now. How about everyone? How have you been training during this time?"
When it came to business, the solemn atmosphere relaxed instantly, and then everyone began to show off their achievements.
"Let me start by saying that I have been with Xiao Lingdang. We have done eleven tasks in total, and she is now at the peak of the fourth level!" Qu Xingchi was still the first to raise his hand.
"You... let go. If you want to raise your hand, raise your own hand. Why raise my hand? I will speak for myself about my situation." Seeing everyone looking at them, Wen Ling suddenly blushed. She He quickly took his wrist out of Qu Xingchi's hand, then straightened his hair and sat upright.
"He, he's right!" After Wen Ling said this, she stopped saying anything.
"Ah? I'm sorry, I forgot when I got excited," Qu Xingchi scratched his head in confusion.
When everyone saw this, they all laughed kindly. Wen Ling's face turned redder when she heard the laughter.
"Okay, next one," Lin Qingqing said with a smile and clapped her hands.
"Yaxiu and I have done nine tasks in total. Like Lingdang, she has also reached the peak of the fourth level," Cheng Xiaohe said with a slight smile: "And during the task, our Master Yin also took thirty-seven pictures. Order."
"I have completed one-third of those orders, and I expect to be promoted to level five after finishing this batch of things." Yin Yaxiu glanced at Cheng Xiaohe and then continued: "It's not just me, our Doctor Xiao is on a mission During this period, we also sold a lot of medicine, at least a thousand copies of poison and antidote, am I right?"
"...That's right," Cheng Xiaohe twitched
From the corner of his mouth, he said speechlessly: "Did you install a monitor around me? How do you know so clearly?"
"Do I need to wear that thing? I can tell how many extra crystal nuclei you have on your body without looking at it," Yin Yaxiu shrugged and said disapprovingly.
Cheng Xiaohe was surprised when his private money was revealed and he was not angry. He just pinched his fingers secretly and then gritted his teeth silently.
Lin Qingqing looked at the two people in surprise. She originally thought that the two of them always bickered because they disliked each other, but now it seems that things are not that simple.
"We've finished talking, it's your turn." Looking at Lin Qingqing's probing eyes, Cheng Xiaohe immediately rearranged his expression.
"Song Qiao and I were in a team. We completed fifteen missions in total. She is now at the late fourth level, close to the peak."
Lin Fei's words were still so concise and to the point, while Song Qiao's words were even fewer. After Lin Fei finished speaking, she added the word "um".
In the end, Lei Min and Liu Dan were left. Needless to say, Lei Min and Lin Qingqing could also see that she had reached the peak of the fifth level and was only one chance away from successfully breaking through to the sixth level.
"I think I may be about to break through recently, and maybe I can enter the sixth level in the next mission," Lei Min said with certainty, clenching his fists.
Lin Qingqing nodded when she heard this, and Minmin finally exerted her strength this time.
"What about you? Did you gain anything?" Finally, she turned to look at the last girl who had just joined the team.
"I have also reached the peak of the fourth level, and I have already thought about what skills to develop for the fifth level. If the experiment is successful, I can enter the fifth level."
Seeing everyone looking at her, the girl suddenly became a little nervous. The people in their team were so strong. They had made such great progress in just over a month.
Thinking of the more than a month she spent in the army, rescuing the wounded day and night, Liu Dan felt that she had already worked hard for her life. She had never made progress so fast before. She thought she could catch up with everyone now, but who knew that everyone was the same.
Liu Dan's words surprised everyone for a moment. Do you know who the teammates in your team are? This girl had just joined in, but she was able to keep up with everyone's rhythm.
With his talent and hard work, he was really destined to be a member of their Qingmang team!
"What about you, captain?" Liu Dan asked subconsciously after finishing speaking.
"Hiss——" As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of inhalation all around.
"Little sister, you are really brave. Can you ask this question?" Yin Yaxiu couldn't help but shook her head.
"That's right, I never dare to ask this question," Qu Xingchi quickly covered his face and said.
"Awesome!" Lei Min gave a thumbs up.
"He who doesn't know is fearless," Cheng Xiaohe looked at her with admiration.
Wen Ling and Song Qiao didn't say anything. One just covered his face with a cup, and the other hid himself behind the gun. Even Lin Fei couldn't help but turn sideways when he heard this.
"What, what's wrong?" Did she say the wrong thing? Is this a taboo question that cannot be asked? But she, she really doesn’t know! Liu Dan looked at Lin Qingqing with an anxious look.
"Me? I'm already in the middle of the sixth level," Lin Qingqing said with a chuckle.
"..."
Look, look, everyone was happy originally, so why bother? Everyone lamented.
"Captain, haven't you just been promoted to the sixth level?" Liu Dan opened his mouth in surprise.
As we all know, the higher the level, the slower the upgrade, so in the later stages, many teams will have the same level as the captain and deputy captain. But why does this rule no longer apply to Lin Qingqing?
"Well, I found some insights when I went out this time," Lin Qingqing said casually.
"Enlightenment? What time?" Liu Dan was even more surprised when she heard this. She only found a little insight and was about to advance to the fifth level. The captain found several points. Wouldn't that be enough for her to advance to the next level?
"Well, well, I think we should have hot pot today, just to celebrate everyone's progress.
How about it? "Qu Xingchi quickly interrupted Liu Dan.
"Okay, okay, we haven't eaten in a long time!"
"I think this is a great idea!"
"I'm going to prepare now, who can help?"
"Me!" New
"I am coming too!"
"And I!"
Everyone dispersed in a tacit understanding, and in an instant, only Liu Dan and Lin Qingqing were left in the living room.
"Haha, you go too, I'll go upstairs and change some clothes."
Lin Qingqing didn't want to expose their little thoughts. She patted Liu Dan on the shoulder and turned around to go upstairs.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't been back for a long time, and the air in the room that had been closed for a long time was very dull. Fortunately, Yin Yaxiu's improved doors and windows were very closed, and there was no dust in the room.
Lin Qingqing walked into the room, opened the doors and windows for some air, then turned around to find some clean clothes to change into, when she suddenly found a note on the mirror next to the wardrobe.
The moment she saw the note, Lin Qingqing felt a chill in her heart. She did not read the contents of the note immediately, but stood there and looked around carefully.
——When I just opened the door and came in, the doors and windows in the room were indeed locked. It couldn't have been done by anyone else in the family. No one has the habit of entering other people's rooms privately, and the dull air in the room before is not deceiving. Indeed, no one has entered his room for a long time.
Seeing that nothing unusual was found, Lin Qingqing walked carefully to the mirror.
At this time, she could see the handwriting on the note clearly. There were three lines written on it:
"Xiao Xuehua, why aren't you waiting for me at the base? I couldn't find you even when I came here. I heard that you took on a few bounty missions, so why don't I go find you."
"I've been looking for you for half a month, but I can't find you anywhere. You must have run too fast. Every time I go, I find you are gone."
"Alas, there was a slight mistake in the mission above. I may have been a little busy recently, but it should be finished soon. When you come back, just wait for me at the base. I will come find you as soon as I finish the work! - Take "Fengliu"
Lin Qingqing silently read the words on the note, and her heart beat faster every time she read a line.
It can be seen from the contents of the note that these three sentences were not written at the same time, and the ink marks are obviously different.
Ride the wind! This man came to his room at least three times!
Lin Qingqing's breathing was a little rapid. She carefully checked the entire room again and found that the doors and windows were all intact. Apart from this note, there was nothing else in the room. Everything was still in its original appearance.
After the inspection, Lin Qingqing's heart sank even more. She didn't even bother to change her clothes. She pulled off the note and turned around and went downstairs.
