Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Jiang City
Thinking about the task Wu Xun had just entrusted to her, Ji Wanwan quickly headed to the dormitory building in the Outer City. She brought Xiao Lu and Yinyin back to her private space and left A002 to care for and accompany the two girls.
Looking at the childish faces of Xiao Lu and Yinyin, Ji Wanwan montarily felt that what she was doing was very aningful.
Recognizing her own sense of self, a strong feeling of satisfaction erged, and Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but smile lightly.
Her eyes, filled with compassion, swept over the two young girls before she turned around and briskly left the private space.
Xia Li was still waiting for her, and she still had an unfinished mission!
Arriving at the conference room, Xia Li still sat there, lost in thought.
“Ah Li!”
Hearing Ji Wanwan’s voice, Xia Li quickly stood up, “I’m here!”
Without waiting for Ji Wanwan to approach, Xia Li eagerly asked, “What’s my mission?”
This anxious deanor choked Ji Wanwan up, rendering her speechless with laughter.
She didn’t rush to discuss the mission, but instead asked Xia Li, “I heard that the Corpse Hunting Team has co back empty-handed these last two days, is that true?”
Xia Li’s expression darkened instantly upon ntioning this: “Yes, it’s really strange! We didn’t encounter a single zombie in the past two days, not even the low-level zombies!”
Combining the news brought back by Cheng Hao, Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but link the disappearance of the zombies to the Baize Union’s attack.
Twirling her fingertips, Ji Wanwan habitually asked, “Ah Li, what do you think?”
Xia Li stared seriously and thought for two seconds, “Maybe we were too fierce the other days, and we wiped out all the visible zombies!”
Ji Wanwan: “…” She shouldn’t have asked that question.
She laughed dryly, patted Xia Li on the shoulder: “An excellent analysis.”
Feeling validated, Xia Li visibly brightened: “Right! I just said, these zombies are really not durable. We hardly exerted force, and they all died out.”
Ji Wanwan covered her face with her hand, caught between laughter and tears: “Ah Li, let’s go check out Jiang City, shall we? Maybe there are still zombies there.”
Xia Li naturally had no objections to her suggestion, “Alright! Shall we set off now?”
Ji Wanwan nodded, “Yes, let’s leave now, we’ll try to co back before it gets dark.”
As a Zombie Hunter, Xia Li had an absolute sharpness for zombies, and due to her special constitution, she was almost unkillable. Bringing Xia Li to Jiang City would ensure that their fighting power wasn’t compromised and they could more quickly discover any traces of zombies, thus, Ji Wanwan didn’t assign any specific tasks to Xia Li.
To facilitate traveling, Ji Wanwan withdrew the indestructible motorcycle from System Space and used points to upgrade it, allowing the motorcycle to reach a speed comparable to a high-speed train.
“Boom!”
Once they were out of the base, Ji Wanwan stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle emitted a savage roar, instantly disappearing at the end of the street.
The sentry on patrol at the outpost: “?”
What just whizzed past?
The sped-up motorcycle soon arrived at the ruins of Liancheng Bridge.
Speeding all the way, despite how forcefully the motorcycle zood through the streets, not a single zombie appeared.
From the base to Liancheng Bridge, covering nearly 70 kiloters, if this was also the handiwork of the Baize Union, then Baize’s strength was terrifying indeed.
Since the previous battle had already destroyed the Liancheng Bridge, crossing the river by ordinary ans was impossible now.
After parking the motorcycle, Ji Wanwan, holding onto Xia Li, teleported onto a segnt of the bridge that still stood unyieldingly over the river’s surface. After a brief rest, she pulled Xia Li into another teleport.
Before they even landed firmly, a familiar stench assaulted their noses.
As a Zombie Hunter, Xia Li instinctively pulled out her large blade and executed a Cross Slash toward the front.
“Roar!!!”
Having just landed securely, zombies from all directions swiftly surrounded the two of them.
These zombies were more agile and destructive than ordinary zombies, most of them being Level 1 Evolved Zombies that had already developed a Crystal Core.
Xia Li’s Cross Slash, with extre explosive power, slew a Second Level canine zombie that had run up to him, and the remaining zombies hardly posed a threat.
In just a few monts, the two had cleared out most of the zombies by the riverside and collected about twenty Crystal Cores.
Looking at these Crystal Cores, Xia Li’s eyes lit up.
She hadn’t gotten her hands on these in several days of missions!
Coming to Jiang City was indeed the right choice!
However, as the base lord, Wanwan was too busy; it wasn’t good to always ask her to join missions. They needed to find a way to easily cross the river!
Then she had an idea, let Qi Hao build a couple of boats!
Unlike Xia Li’s excitent, Ji Wanwan looked gravely towards the river.
As she had guessed, only the zombies from Liancheng were missing.
Such a grand sche could only be the work of the Baize Union, she couldn’t think of anyone else.
Why had the Baize Union taken away Liancheng’s zombies?
Thinking of that laboratory in the underground casino, Ji Wanwan shuddered, a strong unease lingering in her mind.
“Wanwan! Let’s go check out the city center of Jiang City!” Thinking of the city center’s large crowd, possibly with higher-level zombies, Xia Li was already rubbing her hands together, unable to wait.
Ji Wanwan snapped back to reality.
Thinking that there was still ti early in the day, exploring Jiang City was worthwhile, so the two set off toward the city center.
Jiang City, unlike Liancheng, had a sizeable number of zombies on the streets, so riding motorcycles was obviously not practical.
Ji Wanwan got a still-operational car at Jiang City’s bridge toll station and drove towards the city center with Xia Li.
The closer they got to the downtown area, the more nurous the zombies beca. Before even reaching the central area, the car was no longer able to proceed.
The density of these zombies was similar to that of Liancheng when the zombie crisis first erupted, showing that Jiang City did not have many superpower awakeners, and these zombies had not yet been widely swept through by superpower users.
Why was there such a big difference between Liancheng and Jiang City?
A small place like Liancheng had sohow spawned two survivors organizations, and excluding the System, the scale of the Baize Union was also incredibly large beyond belief.
Observing the zombies around Jiang City, although their evolution speed was faster than in her previous life, it was generally in line with the developnt trend of the previous apocalypse.
In contrast, Liancheng seed as if the apocalypse had been going on for many years, even decades.
“Roar!”
A Bat Corpse landed heavily on the car roof, making a loud noise, and the car body shook twice.
Ji Wanwan stopped thinking and teleported out of the car with Xia Li: “Ah Li, it’s getting late. We’ll co back to Jiang City next ti.”
Although Xia Li, after mutating, was sowhat blunt with human emotions, she could see that Ji Wanwan was feeling down.
“Wanwan doesn’t like coming to Jiang City?” Xia Li executed a slash, cutting an approaching zombie in half.
Ji Wanwan: “…”
Looking at the still twitching zombie on the ground, she pursed her lips: “It’s not that I don’t like it, I’m just thinking about the Baize Union’s attack.”
After clearing the surrounding zombies and confirming there was no threat, Xia Li flicked her wrist, executing a stylish flourish of her blade: “Don’t be afraid, with here, no one can hurt you!”
Ji Wanwan’s eyelashes trembled, and she couldn’t help but reach out and hug Xia Li: “Ah Li, it’s really good to have you…”
