Grass grows and orioles fly

Chapter 260 Heading to the City

The two of them sneaked in quietly. Inside, there were still no living creatures. They checked the ceiling, walls, and floor, finding only some disgusting, moldy stains.

What a pity... Oh no, what good luck, they didn't encounter any danger at all.

The two of them exited their combat state and began to search the entire room.

On the operating table were rows of containers and scattered experiment reports.

Following the principle of prioritizing paper materials and electronic materials, they did not touch the bottles and jars.

"I'm here."

Even after descending to the deepest level, Lin Yuan and the others encountered no danger. Besides the extreme darkness, there was nothing else to be afraid of.

"Mission report: At the deepest part underground, a corpse was found immersed in formalin, sealed in a glass-like container, with no signs of life."

This was said to Tianyan.

"Call Xu Qing and the others to come down and take all these things away."

Jiang Ziqi nodded and immediately called Xu Qing and Wu Ping, who were on the ground performing guard duty.

"It has been determined that there is no danger below. Send one person down to help carry supplies, and the other to continue guarding the entrance."

"Understood!"

After collecting all the paper materials from here and looking at the corpse and the large vat of formalin.

The body was standing upright, sealed in a rectangular glass container. Its head was slightly damaged and had grown mold.

The two looked at each other, and finally, Lin Yuan said helplessly, "I'll carry the head. Be careful, this glass feels unreliable."

As it turned out, the glass was very reliable. What it was like underground was the same when it was moved to the ground.

There were still a lot of things underground, and they couldn't stop. Wu Ping came down to assist them in carrying supplies. It took the combined effort of the three of them nearly an hour to move everything.

After checking and confirming that nothing was missing, they asked Xu Qing to signal the midway supply station to prepare for reception.

"Captain, it's connected. They said they can't spare anyone right now and asked us to carry it ourselves, or wait until the clearing operation is over."

"Don't worry, don't worry. They didn't expect our operation to be this smooth. The originally planned mission duration was 3-5 days."

Lin Yuan also nodded, saying nothing. It was as expected. If they could spare anyone, they wouldn't only have four people here to sort through supplies.

"Let's rest for a while. We've moved so much stuff, we're tired. Xu Qing, help me connect with Tian Long, and encrypt the communication."

Xu Qing did not ask why it needed to be encrypted; she just did her job.

"Understood."

A few minutes later, Ying Tianlong's call was connected.

"Lin Yuan?! You finished the mission so quickly?" Ying Tianlong's tone was devoid of fatigue, clearly shocked by the efficiency of Lin Yuan and his team.

"Yes, there's no one, no living thing here anymore. We didn't even see a single mouse, so we played the role of movers, hahaha."

"Good, it's good that you didn't encounter any danger. Come back after you've delivered all the supplies to the midway supply station. Hahaha, finally some good news." Ying Tianlong also laughed. A smooth mission was indeed good news.

Lin Yuan gave Jiang Ziqi a look and went to the rooftop with the communication device. "Team leader Ying, I have something to apply to you for."

"Tell me."

"I need to go to Yu City to investigate. There's a high probability of finding clues about the Eternal Life Cult there."

"What kind of clue is worth you using encrypted communication and applying to me personally?" Ying Tianlong found it strange from the start. Why did he need to encrypt a mission progress report? It turned out this was what he was waiting for.

"Regarding the high-ranking officials of the Eternal Life Cult and the movements of their other strongholds."

Upon hearing this, Ying Tianlong couldn't stay calm and quickly ran to the safe house in his home to receive the information. "Are you serious? How did you get this news?"

"I can't explain it clearly through the communicator. I need to tell you in person, and this is just a possibility. Until I get something tangible, I can't draw a conclusion."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator. "I believe you. This matter will be treated as your personal mission for now. You cannot bring anyone else."

"I need to bring Jiang Ziqi."

"Give me a reason."

"She can tell if I've been infected by the Eternal Life Cult's bugs."

"Alright, you'd better find something, otherwise I can't bear this responsibility. You know how important Jiang Ziqi is. If anything happens, I won't be able to protect you."

Lin Yuan knew that Ying Tianlong had agreed as soon as he heard this and vowed, "Don't worry, even if I die and turn into a zombie, I will ensure Jiang Ziqi returns safely."

"Go ahead."

Having received approval from his superior, Lin Yuan immediately went downstairs and dug out the box labeled "whitechocolate."

The Tianyan system had already been removed. He was about to undertake a secret operation.

Currently, the only person he could trust was Ying Tianlong.

He opened the box and indeed found a folded letter written in English.

"dear..."

"Dear ____, I know you will come. I deliberately let these people go and you don't need to worry about my safety. By the time you see this letter, I should have arrived at the White Eagle Federation.

And you will go here too. Don't worry, everything is within my calculations (Praise me quickly e٩(๑>₃<)۶з)

Okay, this is actually a problem of probability.

The rest I left at my home. If you are him, go and see for yourself."

The letter had no signature and did not state who it was written for, but Lin Yuan knew it was from Andrea.

Are all probability students this confident?

Damn it!

He remembered the days when he was dominated by advanced mathematics, modern physics, and probability theory.

It had to be said that Andrea's foresight was quite good. Moreover, even if Lin Yuan hadn't come here, he would definitely have investigated Wang Xiaoxiao's home later.

He tucked the paper into his combat suit and returned to Jiang Ziqi and the others.

"I just received orders from higher-ups. I and Jiang Ziqi are required to go to Yu City to carry out a mission. The secrecy level is high, and it's quite urgent. I'll leave this place to you. Take turns transporting the data and experimental samples to the midway supply station. Don't rush it, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Alright, Ziqi, let's go."

Although Jiang Ziqi was still a bit dizzy, she obeyed the order and followed Lin Yuan. She hadn't eavesdropped on Lin Yuan's conversation just now.

"Brother Lin Yuan, is it that urgent?"

"It's not urgent, but it's an opportunity to go there legitimately."

"Remember to bring your single-soldier radio. We're going to the city this time. If we find anything else, we can contact headquarters in time."

"Yes, understood."

After giving the remaining instructions, Lin Yuan and Jiang Ziqi rode their motorcycles towards Yu City.

Of course, they didn't ride for long. Before sunset, they found a hidden spot outside the city to rest.

They couldn't confront the zombie hordes at night; they had to wait until tomorrow morning.
