Chapter 108 A Frenzied Test

Therefore, whether the human came out or not, Wu Yatu would find a way to kill him.

Inside his shelter, Song Xizheng suddenly shivered.

He immediately realized that the zombie king must have returned!

Song Xizheng rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and obediently stayed inside his shelter.

Two days later, he would quietly open the door and stall the zombie king.

Sister Lin, you absolutely have to find a way to kill that zombie king!

There were still two weeks left before his survival time ended.

Although it would be easier to complete the mission by staying inside the shelter, he still wanted to go outside and take a look around.

The next morning, before Wu Yatu could appear, Lin Yun rushed to the zombie pit she had discovered near the base and collected a large portion of the corpses.

She hurried back to the shelter as night fell.

After cleaning herself and Sang Biao, Lin Yun took out a boxed meal and started eating.

While eating, she checked her mission points.

After clearing out those zombies, her score had reached 349.4 points.

"Okay, okay. Mission points really are too difficult to earn this time!"

[Don’t you have crystal cores? Submit some. It’ll be much faster.]

The system lazily reminded her.

Lin Yun suddenly realized that her crystal cores were still sitting in the storage box and hadn’t been touched.

For some reason, she didn’t want to submit the crystal cores directly.

She had a feeling they might be useful later.

Let’s wait and see. There’s still plenty of time before she reaches the point limit for the later missions.

When Lin Yun went to collect zombie corpses near the base that day, she noticed that the base seemed to have strengthened its defenses around the surrounding area.

She just didn’t know whether those defenses would be effective against Wu Yatu.

Lin Yun shook her head and continued eating.

Meanwhile, at the base...

Xu Chi didn’t go on a mission that day.

They needed to patrol the area around the base to prevent the zombie king from appearing nearby.

Just then, a voice came through Xu Chi’s walkie-talkie.

Ji Mingfeng: "...Boss, do you want to come over here? I’m at the zombie pit."

"What’s wrong?"

"You’ll see when you get here."

Ji Mingfeng couldn’t explain what had happened either, so he thought it would be better to have Xu Chi come over himself.

Xu Chi frowned.

What on earth had Ji Mingfeng discovered?

He immediately led his men toward the zombie pit.

A few minutes later, Xu Chi and his teammates arrived.

"Ji Mingfeng, what happened—"

Before he could finish, Xu Chi realized that something was wrong.

He followed the beam of Ji Mingfeng’s flashlight.

The zombie corpses that had been piled inside the pit were gone.

What was going on?

Ji Mingfeng looked at Xu Chi with a complicated expression.

"Boss, I don’t know either. It was already like this when we came here to patrol."

Xu Chi’s expression turned grim.

The disappearance of all the zombie corpses from the pit was not a good sign, especially now that a zombie on the verge of becoming a zombie king had appeared in their city.

If the zombie king had done this, then perhaps it had discovered that their base was nearby.

But it shouldn’t have been possible for a single zombie to remove all those corpses.

So what exactly had happened?

Xu Chi couldn’t figure it out.

He was also extremely annoyed with Yu Qian.

They had originally wanted to burn the zombie corpses in the pit, but Yu Qian had refused.

She claimed that the corpses contained the zombie virus and that if the virus didn’t die during the burning process, it might spread through the smoke.

Xu Chi had no idea how Yu Qian had come up with such ridiculous reasoning.

She was just like those so-called experts who made one brainless decision after another.

Yu Qian had insisted that the corpses could not be burned.

And since the rain had continued for so long, they had eventually put the matter aside.

If they hadn’t prepared for the rising water level in advance, however, the corpses would have been scattered everywhere by the current.

Now that the corpses had completely disappeared, Xu Chi was no longer willing to let the matter go.

"Let’s go back and have a good talk with Yu Qian about this."

Xu Chi gritted his teeth.

Although he couldn’t remove her from her position, he could at least use this incident to make things difficult for her.

Ji Mingfeng’s eyes immediately lit up.

Getting on Yu Qian’s nerves?

Excellent.

He loved doing that kind of thing.

Ji Mingfeng quickly stepped closer and whispered something into Xu Chi’s ear.

...

When the day of Xu Chi’s team’s appointment with Lin Yun finally arrived, everyone was in high spirits.

Yu Qian had been severely criticized and suspended from work.

The higher-ups hadn’t specified how long her suspension would last, but Xu Chi believed it would probably continue until they dealt with the zombie king.

After all, Yu Qian had caused quite a few problems in the past, and the higher-ups were afraid that she would cause trouble again.

As for why she hadn’t been removed from her position entirely...

Well, she had a powerful father.

Early that morning, Song Xizheng looked through the peephole in his shelter door.

It was quiet outside.

He couldn’t see Wu Yatu anywhere.

Song Xizheng grabbed a useless piece of plastic and threw it out the window onto the street.

Wu Yatu opened her eyes.

The sound had come from outside.

Ha.

Such a clumsy trick.

Was he trying to lure her away so he could sneak outside to search for food?

Good idea.

But she wasn’t stupid.

It seemed they had run out of food.

They had gone out looking for food yesterday but hadn’t found anything, so now they were trying again today.

Wu Yatu kept her eyes closed and remained motionless on the floor.

She wanted to see whether the human would come out.

Song Xizheng waited for a while, but no zombie appeared downstairs.

After thinking for a moment, he simply opened the shelter door and leaned most of his body outside.

Then he immediately pulled back and closed the door.

Wu Yatu suddenly opened her eyes.

So he dared to stick his tail out?

Was he testing whether she was still there?

In that case, she might as well pretend she wasn’t there.

Perhaps after a few more attempts, the little mouse would eventually come out on its own.

But Song Xizheng had no intention of leaving.

He valued his life very much.

Throughout the morning, Song Xizheng tried several different methods to test Wu Yatu.

But she refused to show herself.

This nearly drove him crazy.

However, Song Xizheng wasn’t stupid.

Lin Yun had already warned him that Wu Yatu was extremely intelligent.

She had most likely taken that protective suit from one of the survivors.

A zombie capable of doing something like that was clearly no ordinary zombie.

I’ve been testing her all morning, and she still hasn’t shown herself.

Either she’s not here...

Or she’s deliberately pretending not to be here, hoping I’ll eventually lose patience and come outside so she can catch me.

Song Xizheng snorted coldly.

"Don’t worry. I’d rather die than leave!"

Wu Yatu was extremely patient.

But as time slowly passed, afternoon finally arrived, and Song Xizheng was still cautiously probing from inside his shelter.

At this point, Wu Yatu was already becoming extremely annoyed.

This damned human!

...

Lin Yun ran into Xu Chi and the others again.

They told her about the base’s plan, although they weren’t certain whether their method would actually be enough to kill Wu Yatu.

After discussing the details, they prepared to leave.

However, before they parted ways, Xu Chi looked at Lin Yun hesitantly.
