Zombie?
Hearing these two words, Ye Qiu also realised that this trip to the Northwest, I’m afraid it wasn’t simple.
“We also looked for Taoist priests who were proficient in talismans, but strangely enough, their talismans didn’t work on those necrophiliacs.”
“Moreover, those dead guys don’t fear sunlight after their necrophilia, they come out and move around during the day.”
“The most terrifying thing is that their flesh becomes extremely hard and bullets can’t even penetrate it.”
“Hence, it was called the living dead.”
Ye Qiu asked, “”Then what is our specific task?””
“Three things in total.”Tang Fei said, “First, investigate the original cause of the matter.”
“Second, solve those living dead and eliminate them completely.”
“Third, find Professor Cao.”
“Professor Cao?”Ye Qiu looked puzzled.
Tang Fei explained, “In order to thoroughly investigate those living dead, the Underworld Palace sent a biologist to investigate, and the one who led the team was Professor Cao from Shui Mu University.”
“Professor Cao brought two students with him and disappeared while searching for water on the Gobi Beach.”
“The Military God ordered that we must find Professor Cao.”
Ye Qiu immediately asked, “How old is Professor Cao? How long has he been missing?”
“Professor Cao is seventy-one years old and has been missing for three days.”
Hearing Tang Fei’s words, Ye Qiu’s heart sank.
At such an old age, having been missing for three days, it seemed that the odds were stacked against him.
Tang Fei seemed to have sensed Ye Qiu’s thoughts and said, “I also suspect that the possibility of Professor Cao surviving is very low, but the God of Military commanded that no matter what, Professor Cao must be found, and that he must be seen alive and dead.”
“Understood.”Ye Qiu followed and asked, “Are we the only two on this mission?”
“Of course it’s more than that.”
Tang Fei said, “Gu Feng and Yang Qi, who are stationed in Jiangzhou from the Underworld Palace, will join us on the mission.”
“In addition, the Military God has already called the side of Longhu Mountain, hoping that the Longbrow Realist will assist us, but the feedback from the side of Longhu Mountain said that the Longbrow Realist is in seclusion, and it’s unclear when he’ll be out of seclusion.”
“On top of that, the Northwest Military Region has sent a company of troops at our disposal.”
Ye Qiu only felt a burst of headache.
Speaking of which, the only ones who could really carry out the mission were him, Tang Fei, Gu Feng, and Yang Qi.
The people from the Northwest Military Region, on the other hand, could only assist.
As for the Long Brow Realist, that old thing was unreliable, so it seemed that he couldn’t count on them.
“Before we left, the Military God commanded that if necessary, we can do whatever it takes.”Tang Fei said, “If manpower can’t eliminate those living dead, then we’ll just use nuclear bombs.”
“Even so, we still need to be more careful.”
“I always feel that the appearance of the living dead is not a normal phenomenon.”
Nonsense!
People are still running around and biting people when they’re dead, can this be a normal phenomenon?
“Regarding the living dead, have the intelligence officers of the Underworld Palace done any analyses?”
Ye Qiu knew that the Underworld Palace had a powerful intelligence system, which gathered top intelligence personnel, and for every mission, they would make the appropriate analyses and risk assessments beforehand.
Tang Fei shook his head and said, “This kind of situation has never been encountered before, there are no examples to be found, so it’s impossible to analyse it at all.”
“This is also why, the Military God would order me to personally lead a team to the Northwest.”
“Investigating the cause, eliminating the living dead, and finding Professor Cao, this is something that we must accomplish.”
Ye Qiu asked again, “Can Sable Cicada support us?”
Tang Fei smiled bitterly, “The place where the living dead appeared is in a small village in the northwestern borderland, where one side is by the primitive forest, and the other side is by the Gobi Desert, there’s either no signal, or the satellite can’t be detected, so this time, Sable Cicada can’t help us.”
“Understood.”
After Ye Qiu said this, he took out his mobile phone and gave Qian Jinglan a message, saying that he was going out for a few days.
Then, he gave another message to Han Long, instructing Han Long to transfer Xixi to another school.
Afterwards, another message was sent to Old Xiang, saying that he couldn’t return to the hospital to sit in the clinic for the last few days.
Following that, he informed Lin Exquisite that he had to go out for something.
After Ye Qiu finished these messages, he flipped out Bai Bing’s phone number from inside his address book and pressed the dialling button.
After a while, a voice came from the phone, “Sorry, the number you have dialled is switched off”
Snap!
Ye Qiu put away the phone.
In the past few days, Ye Qiu would call Bai Bing every day no matter how busy he was, but the result was the same, Bai Bing’s phone was switched off.
“What happened after Sister Bing returned to Beijing?”
“How come the mobile phone is switched off?”
“And not contacting me?”
Ye Qiu had a bad feeling in his heart.
He understood Bai Bing’s character, if a change hadn’t occurred, then Bai Bing definitely wouldn’t have cut off contact with him.
However, what exactly had happened to Sister Bing?
“By the way Tang Fei, do you know old General Bai Jing Yao?”Ye Qiu asked.
“Of course I know him.”Tang Fei said, “Every New Year’s holiday, my grandfather would take me to visit Old General Bai, and two days ago, I even went to the hospital to visit him.”
Ye Qiu added, “I heard that Old General Bai is very sick and dying, is that true?”
“Who did you hear that from?”Tang Fei asked back.
“Don’t you care who I heard it from, just tell me, is it true?”Ye Qiu pursued.
“It’s true that Old General Bai is very sick, but I heard from the experts at the hospital that he should still be able to last some days, as long as three to five years, or as little as a year and a half.”
“In other words, Old General Bai won’t die for the time being?”
“He shouldn’t die for the time being.”
“Shit!”Ye Qiu couldn’t help but curse.
Tang Fei twisted his head to look at Ye Qiu with a strange expression on his face and asked, “What, do you have a grudge against the Bai Family and hope that Elder General Bai dies quickly?”
“I don’t have a grudge against Elder General Bai, I’m just in love with his granddaughter.”
Ye Qiu could now basically conclude that Bai Bing had been tricked into going back to the capital the last time.
As for who tricked Bai Bing, Bai Yujing, or Elder General Bai, it was unknown.
“Old General Bai’s granddaughter?”Tang Fei frowned and asked, “You mean Bai Bing?”
“Hmm.”Ye Qiu hmmmed.
Tang Fei’s face became complicated as he looked at Ye Qiu, wanting to speak.
“Do you know something?”Ye Qiu asked.
“I do know something, but it’s not good for you.”Tang Fei said, “As far as I know, the Bai Family and the Pei Family have joined forces, and, Pei Jie and Bai Bing should be holding a wedding in the near future.”
What?
Ye Qiu froze, then asked, “Their wedding date is set?”
“I don’t know if the exact wedding date is set, our family hasn’t received the invitation yet, but I heard my grandfather mention that Bai Bing and Pei Jie are about to get married.”
Instantly, Ye Qiu’s face was very ugly.
“Tang Fei, can I not go on this mission? I want to go to the capital.”
