Chapter 696 The Apocalypse (18)
Chapter 696 The Apocalypse (18)
Yan Zhen immediately perked up his ears: "What method?"
Jing Chen beckoned to her with his finger, and Yan Zhen leaned closer.
"The military established a laboratory in the second year of the apocalypse to research biological agents to combat zombies. As far as I know, the research made significant progress at the beginning of this year and is now preparing to deploy it on a large scale to eliminate zombies. This agent is not cold-resistant and will become inactive in extreme weather, so they must deploy it before extreme weather arrives."
The military plans to use artificial rainmaking, which requires aircraft and catalysts. The warehouse storing a large amount of catalysts is located at the Xinghai City Meteorological Bureau. There is a popular tourist attraction near the Meteorological Bureau, which attracted tourists from all over the country before the apocalypse. As a result, after the outbreak of the apocalypse virus, 400,000 zombies roam around the Meteorological Bureau, and it has been difficult to conquer them to this day.
Lin Yu's injuries are healing quite well, right? He'll definitely return to the military base before the cold wave arrives. He won't stay here and wait to die with us. His return to the military base will pass through Xinghai City. As long as we insist on escorting Lin Yu back to the military base when he says he wants to leave, we can join the team that's going to retrieve the artificial rainmaking aircraft and catalyst when they run into them. We can also get a minor injury while retrieving the catalyst, and as compensation, the military will have to give us some benefits..."
Yan Zhen was completely confused. She raised her hand to interrupt Jing Chen: "Wait, how do you know that the military is researching drugs to fight zombies?"
Jing Chen: "Don't worry about these little details..."
"The pesticide will be deactivated in extreme weather. We recently planned to use artificial rainmaking to deliver it. The catalyst is at the Xinghai Meteorological Bureau. Who told you all this?"
Jing Chen: "..."
"Is the message true?"
“Your plan seems logical, but when Lin Yu leaves and which route he takes back to the military base are not things we can control. How can we guarantee that he will run into the team responsible for retrieving the catalyst and the plane?”
"Besides, that's a military team, and they're carrying out such a high-level mission. How could they possibly let people like us with unknown backgrounds join them just because we saved Lin Yu?"
"You yourself said that Xinghai City is besieged by zombies. Even if we are lucky enough to join the team, how can we guarantee that we can get the plane and the catalyst from the zombie horde and escape smoothly?"
"..." Jing Chen was silent for a moment, realizing that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation today, Yan Zhen wouldn't believe what he said.
But thinking about his so-called source of information, Jing Chen felt a headache coming on.
If I say it, Yan Zhen might beat me up again.
“Speak up, where did you hear this news from?” Yan Zhen asked.
Since arriving at the shelter, Jing Chen has never left alone except when on missions.
Even when on missions, they are under her watchful eye 24/7, with absolutely no chance to contact the outside world.
Jing Chen glanced at her and said, "I can tell you, but let me make this clear first: whether you believe it or not, you're not allowed to hit me after you've heard it."
Yan Zhen: "...Okay."
“As I mentioned before, you and I both come from a virtual organization called Quick Transmigration Division. Quick Transmigration Division was hacked and is currently under repair. Yesterday, half of the data was recovered, and I can now read the world timeline of this world. Lin Yu will meet up with the people from the military base in Xinghai City to retrieve the catalyst, as mentioned in the strategy guide.”
Yan Zhen asked, puzzled, "What is a strategy route?"
Jing Chen: "..."
He didn't really want to tell Yan Zhen that Lin Yu was not only her ex-boyfriend in this body, but also had many entanglements with her in the established timeline.
Suppressing his sense of crisis, Jing Chen carefully explained the meaning of "strategy route".
Yan Zhen listened with a mixture of belief and doubt: "Really?"
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Jingchen said, "Xu Songfeng is not your biological son. He is just the son of your blind date."
Yan Zhen: "..."
Aside from her and Xu Songfeng, the two people directly involved, only Lao Mao and one team member who had already sacrificed their life knew about this.
When that member was alive, he was a gossip and advised Yan Zhen to find a man and have a biological child so that she would have security in the future. Xu Songfeng was so scared when he found out that he cried bitterly.
Since then, Yan Zhen has never spoken to anyone about her past with Xu Songfeng, not even Xiao Long knew that they were not related by blood.
Yan Zhen asked, "Is this also mentioned in the 'strategy guide'?"
“Yes.” Jing Chen looked a little smug. “I thought you had a child with another man after you lost your memory, and I was sad for a long time.”
Yan Zhen recalled his reaction when he first arrived at the shelter and learned that Xu Songfeng was his son, as well as his obvious rejection and dislike of Xu Songfeng.
Now everything has a reasonable explanation.
Yan Zhen's feelings were briefly complicated, but she quickly composed herself. Thinking that it wouldn't hurt to gather more information, she asked, "What else does the online guide say?"
Jing Chen waved his hand: "It's not important anymore."
"why?"
"Your target in this world is dead. His name was Yu Jingchuan."
Yan Zhen searched his memory for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he had no recollection of this person: "I don't know this person."
Jing Chen was both amused and exasperated: "Of course you don't know him. He was shot in the head and killed before he could even introduce himself."
Yan Zhen was taken aback.
In the strategy guide, Yu Jingchuan is the boss of the original owner, Fang Ye, and Fang Ye is his secretary. When the apocalypse broke out, the two were on a business trip in another city. When the city was besieged by zombies, the two escaped together.
Yu Jingchuan is a retired soldier. He is tall and strong, has a long-term habit of exercising, and has excellent archery skills. However, a car accident before the apocalypse damaged his brain, causing abnormal function of his nervous system.
He suffers from severe face blindness and directional blindness; he cannot remember faces and cannot distinguish between east, west, south, and north.
The original owner of the body was a perfect complement to him; she had an exceptional memory and was extremely meticulous. Give her a city map, and she could memorize all the landmarks and routes within minutes.
Out of her professional habit as a secretary, Fang Ye always noticed many details that others would miss, thus avoiding many risks for Yu Jingchuan.
Yu Jingchuan protects Fang Ye's personal safety, and Fang Ye plans actions for Yu Jingchuan. The two complement and help each other on the mission line, level up all the way, gather all kinds of talented people to form a post-apocalyptic mercenary group, and develop feelings for each other.
The mercenary group possesses exceptional combat strength. By undertaking various challenging missions for different factions, they live a life free from want, and their reputation has spread so far that even the military has to come to them for help.
In the fifth year of the apocalypse, Yu Jingchuan met a woman completely different from the gentle Fang Ye. That woman single-handedly took on the responsibility of building a refuge base, displaying heroic spirit and decisive actions.
Yu Jingchuan was attracted to the woman and became deeply fascinated by her.
The woman also coveted the mercenary group's power under Yu Jingchuan's command, and the two hit it off immediately.
In order to be with a woman, Yu Jingchuan decided to kill Fang Ye.
However, Yu Jingchuan knew that half of the mercenary group he led had joined because of Fang Ye. If people found out that he had cheated on Fang Ye emotionally before killing him, the mercenary group might fall apart.
To this end, Yu Jingchuan orchestrated a scenario where he accidentally stumbled into a horde of zombies while on a mission, successfully pushing Fang Ye into the horde and causing his death.
When Yan Zhen came to this world and entered Fang Ye's body, he was supposed to first cooperate with Yu Jingchuan to establish a mercenary group, and then slowly take revenge on him, causing him to be betrayed by everyone and suffer endless torment until he died, thus eliminating the original owner's resentment.
However, the system crashed, and Yan Zhen not only lost her way at the point where she entered the world, but also lost her memory and couldn't even remember her boss.
Without Fang Ye's help, Yu Jingchuan fled in a very sorry state when the apocalypse broke out. He even bumped into Fang Ye while looking for supplies in a supermarket. Recognizing Fang Ye, he went up to talk to him, but Yan Zhen, who was on edge, mistook him for a survivor who was stealing supplies and shot him in the head.
