Ch. 81

"Lou Ai, do you know Wei Jun?"

"Yeah, I saved him once." Lou Ai did not hide it, "He had a good impression of me. We talked when we met, and it felt like meeting an old classmate."

"Hmm? Different, isn't it?"

Yan Lengyu raised his hand lazily on the passenger seat.

"Even the captain has noticed that I'm not as enthusiastic as Commander Wei when I meet my old classmates." Zheng Chun shook his head and added, "Looking at Commander Wei, it doesn't seem like he's attracted to you or wants to pursue you! It seems like he's just flattering you!"

Lou Ai frowned and said nothing.

"But there is one thing I can be sure of." Zheng Chun raised his eyebrows at Lou Ai.

"What?" Lou Ai asked.

"In the past, when we went on a mission, people would say after we returned: See, I knew something was going to happen to their Team 2. It would be a miracle if nothing happened. Even if we let the regular team members do the mission, they might not be able to come back intact. But if we come back intact this time, they will say that it was fortunate that we had Lou Ai." Zheng Chun imitated the scene vividly. "If something goes wrong, people won't speculate that someone in the team is trying to trip us up, because you have strong connections, and the team won't dare to do it. They can only say that we are unlucky, and Chen Zouying and the others can wash their hands clean!"

"Why does it sound like it's not a good thing?!" Chen Youbo couldn't help but say.

"It's definitely not a good thing!" Zheng Chun shrugged, "Please pray that Chen Zouying has no bad intentions!"

Lou Ai was stunned for a moment. She was used to the compliments around her and did not realize for a moment that this was abnormal. In Qiang'an Base, she was often praised and discussed because she saved the entire base. In Fengcheng Base, her quarrel with her father became a hot topic. But it was different in the Capital Base. She had only been in the Superpower Team for two days. Even if there was that incident in the cafeteria, it would take time for rumors to spread. It was absolutely impossible for everyone in the Superpower Team to see her face and know her so quickly.

"My mom always says that once you take a step forward, you can never take it back. It's already happened, so there's no point worrying about it."

Chen Youbo shook his head and said.

"Your mother is such an outstanding person. She expressed the truth of life in just a few words!" Zheng Chun gave a thumbs up leisurely.

Lou Ai nodded in agreement, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Well, actually, I think he's the one with the biggest problem right now, right?" Xia Lu and Zheng Chun squeezed in the middle of the back seat and raised their hands and said, "Is he okay?"

Lou Ai looked over and saw that due to the special nature of this mission, no one was driving a military truck but only a family car. The reserve team members were all crowded into Bai Yangche's white sedan. The back seat and the trunk were connected together. The driver and the co-pilot were Bai Yangche and Yan Lengyu, Lou Ai and Zheng Chun were squeezed in the back seat, and An Xu was put in the trunk, squeezed into a ball with the luggage.

Zheng Chun couldn't help but say, "Don't worry about An Xu. He has been staying like this before. He said that this would make him feel safer."

"Wouldn't the feeling of being cramped be even stronger?" Lou Ai glanced at the small space in the trunk.

"No!" In the trunk, An Xu's voice became louder and reached the ears of several people through his special powers.

Lou Ai was startled and covered her ears with her hands. The sound of An Xu's laughter spread to everyone's ears through the stickers on their ears. He whispered, "I'm going to sleep now. When you go to have lunch, bring me a lunch box. I'll eat it after I wake up."

"I know, I know!" Zheng Chun shouted, "Earplugs are still the most useful!"

At noon, a small convoy of four cars stopped on the highway, with tall and straight trees on both sides of the road.

Chen Zouying's orderly got off the car, picked up the small stove, found a shady place in the woods, and started cooking today's lunch.

After more than ten minutes, the aroma of the food spread everywhere along with the sunlight, and the sound of eating also came.

Lou Ai opened the door and got out of the car. She subconsciously looked around. There were only two dead zombies not far away. Apart from that, the entire highway was quiet, with not even much wind noise. "Get out of the car."

Zheng Chun stretched herself and said, "I feel so suffocated in the car."

"I'm the most tired. You drive in the afternoon!" Bai Yangche shook his hands and said.

When leaving, Xia Lu looked at the trunk, then looked again, then ran to the trunk, opened it and gently closed it, leaving a small gap, then ran to Lou Ai with a smile: "This way Brother An Xu will be more comfortable."

"Yeah." Lou Ai nodded, expressing her approval with her actions.

Lunch consisted of vacuum-packed potatoes, beef brisket and rice, all heated up in a pot, packed into a lunch box for each person and placed at the table.

Lou Ai pushed the beef in the bowl to Xia Lu: "I don't like it, you eat more."

Seeing that Xia Lu accepted Lou Ai's gift without any hesitation, Zheng Chun's eyes lit up and she moved closer to Lou Ai: "Lou Ai, I want one too. Can I be lucky enough to get a big piece of fat and lean, tender and tender beef with tendons?"

Lou Ai took the opportunity to transfer all the beef in the bowl to Zheng Chun.

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Chun chuckled and happily took out two pieces of chocolate with cocoa butter substitute from her right pocket. "This is for you. Keep it to satisfy your hunger."

Lou Ai took it and finished the food in the lunch box in a few bites, then took a sip of chocolate.

"Ziziziz..." Suddenly, there was a small buzzing sound in the stickers that An Xu gave them. Lou Ai put her hand into her pocket and pressed the small package of stickers in her pocket. A small zizizizin sound also came from the stickers next to her ear. It was An Xu who made the sound.

Zheng Chun, Bai Yangche and a few others stopped eating at the same time.

Lou Ai signaled with her eyes what this meant.

Zheng Chun sat down next to Lou Ai, Chen Youbo and the others and explained in a low voice: "This is the code we agreed with An Xu that must be said before a major event. An Xu may have heard something."

"I heard the conversation between Chen Zouying and Chen Chen. When you were not around, they started arguing not far from me. But I don't dare to go directly to your side now, for fear that Chen Zouying and the other man would find out that I overheard their conversation."

"Let me tell you what they were arguing about." An Xu's voice was a little cold.

"Chen Zouchun, what should we do now? How did we recruit Wei Jun? They told us that the fewer people the better, but now there are nearly ten more people, including Wei Jun. How can we trade with him through him? What if he finds out something is wrong? If he finds out about our deal, neither of us will end up well." After An Xu gained superpowers, his memory was greatly improved. He narrated word by word, "This is what Chen Chen said."

"If Wei Jun finds out, we will kill him. We are in the wild, and this chaotic world is the best excuse. Wei Jun's position will be vacant, and the personnel in the circle will have to change again. We will take the opportunity to push our own people up, as long as we can make the Meng family and the Academy of Sciences believe that Wei Jun was bitten to death by the zombies in Xiawu Town. We can put the blame on Changchun Research Institute. Changchun doesn't care about these things anyway. The plan we have been planning for two months must not fail. This is what Chen Zouying said."

"Indeed, it took a lot of effort to gather the members of the second reserve team, and they all have the superpowers that Changchun needs." An Xu's voice trembled slightly, "Especially An Xu's superpowers. Changchun said that after upgrading, it can complete two-way transmission. At that time, our cooperation with Changchun Research Institute will no longer need to be transmitted through spies, which is much more convenient... That, I didn't hear clearly in the middle. Later, Chen Chen asked again, why did Changchun target Lou Ai?"

"Lou Ai has a secret, otherwise she wouldn't be able to upgrade so quickly. She's already level three, on par with the monster psychic that Chang Chun researched. This time I asked Chang Chun to use Yan Lengyu's crystal core to help me upgrade, and I can only barely reach the threshold of level three. Maybe I'm still at level two... Then they went to the place to eat, and I heard footsteps. I'm still in the trunk of the car." An Xu swallowed, "The second reserve team is the psychics that Chen Zouying specially picked out to get Chang Chun to help them upgrade."

After An Xu delivered the message, he stopped talking.

Lou Ai peeled off another piece of chocolate in her hand, put it in her mouth, and felt the strong bitter taste of the chocolate slowly melting in her mouth. She said first: "At noon, don't bring the lunch box to An Xu. Find a place to pour the food. An Xu usually doesn't attract attention. If you are lucky, they won't even notice that he didn't come as needed. I have a small bread in the car. Let him eat the bread first, although he may not be able to eat it now."

Zheng Chun was the first to come to his senses: "What are you pouring? I just haven't eaten enough. I will help you eat it."

Bai Yangche also nodded, took a bite of rice, silently concealed the discomfort on his face, and said, "He can finish it."

Chen Youbo finished the last bite of rice, put down his chopsticks, and said quietly after a while: "Damn it, I worked hard in the training camp for more than ten minutes, and finally got a spot in the reserve team, but I ended up selling myself among the commodities. It's really f#cked up." The more Chen Youbo thought about it, the more he laughed out of anger.

After Chen Youbo finished speaking, Zheng Chun stopped eating silently and couldn't help laughing for a long time: "Hahaha! You are even more awesome!" Bai Yangche and Yan Lengyu also laughed, and the atmosphere in the team was finally not so depressing.

After lunch, the orderly came to put away the lunch boxes and asked An Xu.

"I'm so full," Zheng Chun rubbed her stomach and said, "You know An Xu. He went to hide somewhere after dinner."

After seeing off the orderly, Lou Ai looked at a few people and raised her eyebrows.

After returning to the car and starting it, Lou Ai took out a few small breads and date cakes from her backpack and handed them to An Xu from the back seat. An Xu took them silently and started eating them with the mineral water in the car.

Lou Ai turned around and asked An Xu for other details: "What time did you hear them coming over?"

"When you were having dinner, Xia Lu opened the trunk for me and I woke up. It was through this gap that I saw Chen Chen and Chen Zouying talking. Their relationship was not like that of superiors and subordinates, but more like that of partners." An Xu whispered, "Oh, there was another part that I couldn't hear clearly. It seemed to be Chen Chen who said that people from Changchun would wait for them at the highway toll station at the entrance of Xiawu Town. I didn't hear clearly how many people and who were coming."

"Okay, take your time. We can't let Chen Chen and Chen Zou Ying find out something is wrong when we get off the car to rest." Lou Ai said, "We are all here. Even if they want to arrest us, they should arrest us first."

An Xu nodded, pursed his lips and said, "Shall we run away?"

"Why do you want to escape?" Lou Ai asked back, "An Xu, you have to understand now, we are not the ones who did anything wrong. If we escape now, then Chen Zouying and the others will say whatever they want in the base, and we may never be able to return to the base. We might as well tie up Chen Zouying and the others on the way! Or we should act according to the circumstances. Even if we are caught by them before the experiment, there will be various tests, and we will definitely not die for a while. What's more, Changchun has a spy in the base. Isn't there any traitor in the Changchun laboratory in the base?"

An Xu: "... also?"

Lou Ai nodded: "Yes, I know him, don't worry."

Chen Youbo and Xia Lu were used to Lou Ai knowing some powerful people for no apparent reason, so they just looked at each other and nodded. Zheng Chun couldn't help but say, "Lou Ai, with your network of connections, you can actually help a group of us take off, right? This is what the golden thighs in online literature are like, right?"

Lou Ai smiled and said, "That's not the case. I just can't stand the fact that trash like Chen Zouying wants to trade us. He's dreaming!" A vicious and sharp look flashed across Lou Ai's eyes.

On the way, Chen Zuoying and Chen Chen stayed with the four orderlies they brought with them.

Among the four service soldiers, one has the ability of reconnaissance, two have the ability of steel, and one has the ability of speed. It is not easy to take Chen Zouying away from these four people quietly.

Zheng Chun drove behind Chen Zouying's car, annoyance written all over her face: "Damn, look at them, they are running so fast, are they trying to turn us into goods and trade them out as soon as possible? Damn, if I had known it would be like this, I would have participated in the military selection."

It was not until the fourth day after they got out that they traveled day and night and arrived not far from the toll station in Xiawu Town. They ate on the road. Chen Zouying and Chen Chen became visibly more and more impatient, and there were more and more zombies on the road, with endless roars.

"This is the last break. We have to take action this time even if we don't want to." After clearing the surrounding zombies and zombie dogs, Chen Zouying once again announced a temporary adjustment.

Yan Lengyu and the others nodded, ate bread and walked to a seat near Chen Zouying and the other person and sat down, not far from the car. Chen Zouying had been staying with Wei Jun during their rest. On the way there, she didn't even have time to mention this matter to Wei Jun. When she took action later, it would depend on how much trust Wei Jun had in her.

But Lou Ai inexplicably felt that this trust would not be too low.

When they were halfway through the meal, two of Chen Zouying's four orderlies went to the toilet in a group, and one squatted beside a big tree over there to use the toilet. Lou Ai narrowed her eyes and winked at Chen Youbo and the others.

Chen Youbo nodded, and several people stood up together and slowly surrounded Chen Zouying and Chen Chen.

Just as Chen Youbo was moving, Lou Ai suddenly noticed something and her heart skipped a beat.

She turned her head to look at the road, and the next second she quickly rushed behind Chen Youbo to stop Chen Youbo's actions. When she was about to stop Zheng Chun, An Xu promptly notified the other people in the team.

Lou Ai and a few others quickly retreated to their original place. Lou Ai turned around and saw Wei Jun looking at their actions in confusion. Then, when Chen Zouying asked about it, she silently smoothed things over for them.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Chun asked.

"Something is wrong. Something is coming. There is a lot of stuff." Lou Ai said seriously, "At this time, you should not worry about Chen Zou Ying or not. Your life is more important. Save your strength to deal with the things behind."

"What is it?" An Xu asked.

"They look like zombies. There are so many of them." Lou Ai felt the various figures in her mind. She did feel that she could control them, but these things were not quite the same as zombies. They were more mechanical and had less of the breath of living people.

It took a while before Chen Youbo saw the horde of zombies rushing towards him. There were as many as four or five hundred zombies, and there were more than a dozen humans in front of the zombies.

Lou Ai tilted her head. It seemed like he was still a familiar human. When she was on a mission with Lin Ze that time, the three men who came to stay overnight all followed the team that went out to capture Xiao Zuo. The leader was the one with the ability to make it rain. He was thin and had a pointy face. When he was giving orders, you could see the rough calluses on his fingertips.

The thin man saw Chen Zouying's motorcade from a distance and shouted, "Chen Zouying, have you brought all the superpowers that I asked you to bring?"

Lou Ai: “…” So direct?
