Chapter 166 Setting Off to Find the Mythical Beast
Everyone agreed with the decision, and everyone began preparations in earnest.
" Yu Miaomiao, didn't you go to investigate the warehouse? Didn't you find anything?" He Lianghad been busy since returning and hadn't had a chance to ask until he finally pulled Yu Miaomiaoaside to ask during a break from packing.
"It's not like we came away empty-handed; we were just looking for some canned food, weren't we?"
Yu Miaomiao gestured with his chin, indicating the supplies on the ground.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about."
"Something strange has happened that we haven't figured out yet. We encountered a monster attack there, and that's when we lost contact with you."
"You have strange beasts where you live too?"He Liang gasped, somewhat incredulous.
"Yes, and these monsters aren't ordinary beasts. They're more like they were created by a virtual illusion. They don't have physical bodies, but they can attack us with precision. It took us a lot of effort to escape."
If Yu Miaomiao felt that escaping was extremely difficult, then this matter must be very troublesome.
He Liang didn't press the matter further. He put the cans of food on the ground into his backpack, and everyone got ready to go. Yu Miaomiao also put Xu Nanwei, along with the military cot, into his space.
Now only two more people can enter the space, and she can no longer guarantee everyone's safety.
"Do you think we should throw some of thoseMercenaries out... in case something happens…"Lu An whispered in Yu Miaomiao's ear, and Yu Miaomiao nodded.
"Keep it like this for now. If there's any danger, I'll throw those people out first."
The safety of our own team members is definitely the top priority.
K is still trying to contact Chu Bai. The signal is intermittent, but it's stronger than before, indicating that Yu Miaomiao and the others arecloser to Chu Bai.
"Continue to contact Chu Bai to ensure that once the connection is successful, subsequent tasks can be carried out quickly and safely."
Dr. Li did not question their conversation further, but silently followed everyone else out of the control tower.
Unable to contact Chu Bai at the moment, we can only follow the directions provided byUnderground City.
Finding that gathering place of strange beasts should bring us closer to finding Chu Bai.
"There's something I haven't been able to figure out." Ye Jian had been deep in thought the whole way. " He Liang, you said you saw military tents, and military vehicles coming and going at the entrance of The Nineteenth Institute, and soldiers on guard. Doesn't that mean that it's possible that's Chu Bai's base?"
"I'm completely baffled by this too." He Liangscratched his head. "But once we entered The Nineteenth Institute, we didn't see a single person except for a few military tents."
Moreover, they only brought back Dr. Li.Everyone at The Nineteenth Institute, except for Dr. Li, has mysteriously died or disappeared?
How did Dr. Li manage to survive until now? That's highly suspicious.
Yu Miaomiao remained silent, listening quietly toHe Liang recount the situation at The Nineteenth Institute, while also observing Dr. Li's expressions and actions.
Dr. Li turned his head to the other side, clearly not wanting to participate in the topic.
But Ye Jian steered the conversation directly toDr. Li, " Dr. Li, where are the others from The Nineteenth Institute? Where did they all go?"
"This…" Dr. Li's face showed obvious panic, then he seemed to have made up his mind and sighed, "You might not believe it, but after the Post-Apocalyptic World incident, we all hid onthe higher floors of The Nineteenth Institutebuilding…"
At first, everyone thought it was just a natural disaster, but unexpectedly, it was actually a man-made disaster, a premeditated act.
