Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 55 (Part 1)
Before, he wanted to make a deal in a high-sounding manner, but now he only intends to grab it by relying on the number of people and rob the other party. The world now operates according to the law of the jungle where only the strongest will survive, so no one will speak up to seek justice for strangers.
The bosses were all clamoring for them to go out and fight.
There were also spectators shouting for them to fight.
Cheng Yu frowned slightly, his patience was exhausted, and he looked up coldly at the person coming towards him.
Lao Wu’s expression looked very arrogant, probably thinking that he can’t beat this person one-on-one, but won’t three people be able to beat him easily? He didn’t feel compelled to fight him one-on-one.
“I don’t know the rules very well since it’s the first time I came to the Wo-3 base.” Cheng Yu said lightly.
The corner of Lao Wu’s mouth curled up triumphantly, “Why, do you want to apologize to me now? But it’s too late! I will give you a beating and then take away the little zombie. Don’t worry, I can still let you spend the rest of your days in the base safely.”
Cheng Yu drew out his dagger and played with it casually, raising his eyebrows with contempt.
“What I want to ask is, if someone kills people, will they be kicked out from the base?”
Before everyone had time to digest this sentence, as soon as the words fell, a cold light flashed, and a dagger directly passed over the two people and scratched the arm of the accomplice standing at the back. With a bang, the man quietly fell down with the gun hidden behind his back.
Apparently this person wanted to use a gun to deter him just now, but was discovered by Cheng Yu first. Although the base only allowed people to shoot zombies and awakeners, people still carry guns with them in case of emergency. Some morally corrupt people will always use guns to threaten people.
“Damn it!” Lao Wu was furious, he waved the iron rod in his hand and wanted to hit Cheng Yu’s head.
However, halfway through the swing, he was stopped by something as hard as an iron rod. The shock of the impact spread directly along the iron rod, making Lao Wu’s entire arm numb.
Lao Wu looked down and saw a white kid wearing goggles.
The iron rod spun and finally twisted from his hand abruptly, being thrown aside.
“Fucking bastard, you still have accomplices. Brothers, let’s go together!” Lao Wu shouted.
But as soon as Lao Wu finished speaking, the bridge of his nose was broken by Cheng Yu’s punch, and several teeth flew out. His whole body rushed straight towards the pillar and fell down with a bang, just fainting like this.
Such a force value instantly made the two accomplices realize that this person is not easy to mess with, so they hurriedly ran away.
They ran fast, but they caught Cheng Yu and Shi Qin’s attention.
The two of them couldn’t stay any longer and planned to leave directly.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the door, they were stopped by people wearing the clothes of the Mission Corps. The two of them instantly became alert.
“Hey, brother, you have good skills, and you, you have great strength. It’s a pity to be a free hunter. Why don’t you sign up for the assessment and join the Corps. Now is the time to recruit people, and the benefits are very good. I can be a referrer, and if you pass the test, you can join our team.”
Seeing the other party’s enthusiasm, both Cheng Yu and Shi Qin relaxed, which at least proved that the other party did not suspect anything, but only liked their skills.
This actually coincided with Shi Qin and Cheng Yu’s initial plan. They also wanted to take advantage of this assessment process to visit the central area.
“Can I find out more about the situation first?”
“Of course!” Special talents are always given preferential treatment wherever they go.
The other party directly and enthusiastically invited them to the center of the base.
At the beginning, Shi Qin and Cheng Yu could only wander outside the central area, but because of this person’s introduction, they could directly enter the inner circle, not only the corps area, but also the research center and administrative center.
Through the goggles, there was no need for Shi Qin to conceal his gaze.
Cheng Yu and Shi Qin observed carefully all the way without saying much. Instead, the leader continued to introduce.
“You are so short of people?” Cheng Yu said: “I have been to many bases, and there are not many second-level bases like Wo-3 that are so short of people. Could it be that… something happened recently that caused the rapid decline in your personnel?”
The man chuckled and said without pretending to be confused: “I think you should have heard a lot since you arrived here. It is true that we are short of people because we have been catching the awakened people recently. Although not all awakeners can manipulate zombies and have any special abilities, they will be fully armed and are actually very difficult to fight. There are also some who sneaked into our base on their own initiative. Didn’t you all went through strict inspection when you came in?”
“No wonder they keep checking our eyeballs,” Cheng Yu said.
“No way!”
“There are still awakened who take the initiative to come to the door. They are really brave. But why is that?” Shi Qin echoed.
“It should be to save their own people. Anyway, they all fell into the trap and got caught by the research center.”
“Caught by the research center? This… isn’t it too dangerous? They are all Awakened…” Shi Qin showed some fear of the Awakened, as if there were really many awakeners here, then he won’t stay here anymore.
This is a normal reaction of the ordinary people, the man smiled and said: “At first we also thought it was dangerous, and the residents disagreed, and they all wanted to kill them directly, but it is said that the research center has… a special device that can restrict those awakeners, making them well-behaved like little lambs.”
“God’s punishment circle?” Cheng Yu said immediately.
Shi Qin added: “Previously, we encountered the Holy Army when they were capturing people, and we have seen something called the God’s Punishment Circle, which is worn around the neck of the awakened person, and it looks very powerful.”
“There’s a god’s punishment circle for the awakened people, but there are also some other things, but I don’t know much about it, I just heard it from others. People from the research center explained it and let us make sure we are safe.”
Cheng Yu and Shi Qin glanced at each other, and the first thing that came to their mind was the jammer that Fu Xuzhou had made.
Since Fu Xuzhou can make this kind of thing, it is normal for such the research center to have it, but the jammer they brought out from Fu Xuzhou has long been broken, and there are spiritual detectors everywhere in this kind of place. Therefore, from the very beginning, Cheng Yu didn’t use his mental power to deal with anything here.
The research center of this base is really very cautious, using a dual approach to restrain the awakeners. There must be a lot of people imprisoned here, and they are probably worried about unexpected situations.
When they arrived at the Mission Corps, Cheng Yu directly signed up with his own pseudonym. But Shi Qin didn’t apply because he didn’t register when he arrived at the base, and it would be exposed if checked.
The other party saw that it is already great to get one person, so he told Cheng Yu to come to the assessment and join their team.
Seeing the other person’s enthusiasm, it felt like being targeted by a passionate salesperson, and they felt embarrassed not to buy anything.
However, they won’t stay in this base for too long, so it doesn’t matter.
Because of the effective investigation during the day, they were able to sneak into the research center very smoothly at night.
This research center was built underground, which is more conducive to preventing people from climbing walls and windows, but it has another obvious disadvantage. Compared with buildings on the ground, underground buildings require thicker ventilation ducts. Although these ventilation ducts are very concealed, how can they stop Cheng Yu, who has been professionally trained since childhood.
In the dead of night, two people crawled forward in the pipeline.
At every fixed distance, there is a vent representing a room. You can take a look at the places where there is light, while zombie Shi Qin comes in handy when there is no light.
“Well, there is the smell of a living person down here, not an awakened person.”
“Under here are various chemicals.”
“There are zombies down here…”
The two of them climbed down smoothly all the way, and when they reached a relatively long distance, various small pipes were separated in front, which should be the few rooms on the last floor. But if you want to go to those rooms, you can only go down first and pass through the current large room.
Although the lights were turned off and it was very quiet, Shi Qin was able to confirm that there were at least a hundred zombies in the huge room below.
The two cooperated tacitly, Cheng Yu gently moved the mesh window of the vent, and Shi Qin went down first with a rope tied to his body.
As a result, as soon as he went down, he stepped on someone’s foot. Shi Qin could barely see that it was the foot of a female zombie and quickly moved away.
The zombie just glanced at him quietly and didn’t respond.
It’s really not his fault, the room here is so big, with so many zombies standing silently together. How much space can be left for others to sneak in, even walking through the middle is difficult.
Shi Qin didn’t understand, why did those people get so many zombies to stand guard here?
