The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 164 Beijing Research Institute (6)

"How are they?" Yang Xiao asked as soon as he entered the inner room and locked the door.

However, even after Yang Xiao reached Lu Yuan's side, he still didn't hear a reply. He turned his head to look at Lu Yuan and saw that Lu Yuan's expression was very solemn. Following his gaze, he saw that in the dim light emanating from Lu Yuan's mecha, Lin Yun's entire body was covered with various torn wounds, with almost no intact skin.

"How did they end up here, and with such serious injuries?" Yang Xiao couldn't bear to look at Lin Yun's body covered in wounds, but he was worried that Ji Lang was in the same situation, so he quickly turned on the light source in his hand to check Ji Lang. Fortunately, Ji Lang didn't have any wounds, and the bloodstains on his outer clothes looked like they were from Lin Yun.

"I don't know. I remember that Brother Liu Jia and Brother Sanhai also joined Team Leader Ji's team. I'm afraid they..." Lu Yuan didn't dare to guess. Moreover, Lin Yun's injuries were very serious, and these injuries looked like they were caused by zombies.

"Is there any hope for Captain Lin?" Yang Xiao looked at Lin Yun, who was leaning against the other side of the sofa, now barely breathing.

"I don't know, we can only try first." After saying that, Lu Yuan pushed the desk in the middle of the office to a corner, clearing the middle of the office, and then took out the medical machine that he had previously given to Gu Nanfeng and Du Wenqing from his storage space.

"Holy crap, what is this thing?" Yang Xiao had never seen anything like it before and was immediately shocked by its enormous size.

“This is a medical machine. I found it in my space when we were in N City. Brother Gu had a fever and lay in it for several days. Captain Du…” Lu Yuan couldn’t continue when he mentioned Du Wenqing. At that time, Du Wenqing had overused his superpowers to save them, which led to his mutation. Even this medical machine couldn’t save him.

Currently, Lin Yun's condition is not much better than Du Wenqing's back then. If these injuries were caused by zombies, then Lin Yun should be a zombie friend by now, but he is not. So Lu Yuan still plans to give it a try.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Quickly help me get Captain Lin inside so I can add some nutrient solution." Having learned from Gu Nanfeng's experience, Lu Yuan dared not forget to add nutrient solution this time.

"What about Ji Lang?" After helping Lin Yun lie down on the medical machine, Yang Xiao looked at Ji Lang on the other sofa. He knew that Lu Yuan had more than one of many things in his space, and he was even thinking that if all else failed, he could simply move a piece of space out of the large office outside.

"There's only one medical machine here. Captain Ji doesn't have any obvious external injuries; he's probably just too tired. Let's give him some warm water and observe him first." Lu Yuan finished adding the nutrient solution, stopped Yang Xiao who was about to open the door, and handed him a thermos.

"There's only one of these?" Yang Xiao asked, puzzled.

“There’s only one…” Lu Yuan sighed, pressed the button on the medical machine, and then the hatch closed. The screen showed the familiar garbled characters again, and soon a 3-hour countdown appeared. This time was much shorter than when Gu Nanfeng and Du Wenqing were there.

"Okay, it's not that I don't want to save you." Yang Xiao patted Ji Lang's face, then held his chin with both hands, opened the thermos and brought it close to his face.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough!" Ji Lang choked awake as soon as he drank a mouthful of water.

"You want me dead, don't you?" Ji Lang pried Yang Xiao's hand off his chin, pushed him away, and took the thermos to drink.

"Hey, how can you be so rude?" Yang Xiao was relieved to see that Ji Lang was awake. He resumed his expression of contempt and disgust for Ji Lang, pulled over the leader's chair that Lu Yuan had pushed aside, and sat down opposite Ji Lang.

Seeing that Ji Lang had regained consciousness, Lu Yuan walked over to the sofa and sat down, turning to ask, "Would you like something to eat?"

"Just give me a compressed biscuit," Ji Lang said.

"You too..." Yang Xiao originally wanted to tell Ji Lang not to be polite and to eat something hot, but when he thought that if he wanted to make something hot, Lu Yuan would have to get a heater, and the smell of heated food would attract zombies, he obediently shut his mouth.

"Captain Ji, shouldn't you be carrying out search and rescue missions around the South China base? Why are you in Beijing, which is so far away? And where are Brother Liu Jia and Brother Sanhai?" Lu Yuan asked as he took out compressed biscuits and hot milk from his spatial storage.

"It's a long story. How is Captain Lin?" Ji Lang ate a small piece of compressed biscuit to replenish his strength before remembering that he had dragged Lin Yun in before he fainted.

“It’s over there,” Yang Xiao said, pointing to the oval sphere in the middle of the office.

"What is this?" Ji Lang saw Lin Yun lying inside through the observation window and realized it was a working machine. He then turned to Lu Yuan and asked, "Is it a medical pod?"

"Hmm, Captain Lin's injuries are too severe..." Lu Yuan looked at Lin Yun, who was pale inside the medical machine. The bloodstains on his face were illuminated by the medical machine's glowing green light, making him look even more miserable. "His injuries were inflicted by zombies, weren't they?"

"Yes, he did it to save me..." Ji Lang felt a lump in his throat as he recalled their experiences over the past two days. "Luckily, Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai didn't come in with us, otherwise..."

"What exactly happened between you two?" Yang Xiao asked, a little annoyed by Ji Lang's dragging things out.

Ji Lang finally calmed down and began to recount their experiences over the past few days.

Ji Lang and Lin Yun's current squad is a reorganized squad from Ji Lang's original South China Base Supply Third Squad. It consists of 20 people. Among them, Ji Lang, Lin Yun, and the newly recruited Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai are superhumans, while the other 16 are ordinary soldiers. These soldiers have been following Ji Lang since they arrived at the South China Base. So even though they could have stayed at the base to do ordinary tasks, they chose to follow Ji Lang.

In fact, although our team has the strongest ability users from the four bases, there are too many ordinary soldiers. In theory, they can only carry out some relatively dangerous but not very difficult missions around the bases. If it is a dangerous mission, a temporary team should be formed, and Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao should definitely be called in.

Three days ago, they had just finished searching a third-tier city and its surrounding area near X province in D province, which was their mission destination. Unfortunately, there were no survivors left. Ji Lang and his team had been out for two days because they encountered a level 5 zombie on the way, which delayed them. Just as they were packing up to return to the South China base, his communicator received an encrypted message.

The message was that they needed to go to the Beijing Research Institute to retrieve an important research document. He didn't know what the document was; his communicator only said that the mission objective would be communicated to him once he arrived at his destination.

With the apocalypse looming, this mission was practically suicidal, but as soldiers, they all possessed a strong sense of obedience. After discussing it with Lin Yun, Ji Lang decided to let the soldiers decide for themselves whether to join the mission. And just as he had initially expected, not a single soldier backed down.

Following the instructions on the communicator, Ji Lang returned to the temporary outpost of the South China Base in Port City, X Province, where he found a military helicopter and took a team of people to Beijing.
