QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch26

 

CHAPTER 26 - S-Class Mission

After communicating by satellite phone, the two sides decided to exchange research results. The W City base decided to send people to escort a group of scientific researchers to the Capital base to learn new technologies and to cry about poverty to see if they could get some support.

The Black Eagle Squad members were well-informed and immediately encouraged their captain to take on the mission because they heard that Level 3 zombies had appeared around the Capital base. This time, in addition to escorting scientific researchers, they were going for the Level 3 crystal cores.

Ying Yi and Ying Ao were equally tempted when they found out, and quickly went to grab the mission.

"Sister Lianyi, it's great that we have the opportunity to go to the Capital base this time!"

Sun Wang was very happy.

"What's wrong? Did your uncle's family come to you and your sister's place to ask for money again?"

Wu Lianyi was drinking coffee and asked about Sun Wang's personal affairs, which was rare.

"Yeah! They kicked us out before, but now that they know that us siblings are capable, have joined the military's special operations team, and are both ability-users, they immediately came to find us.

My sister didn't bother to pay attention to them. Last time she came directly to the airport base with the team, they didn't dare to follow us. They waited until the base here had a protective wall, and then they couldn't wait to chase after us. "

Sun Wang said it lightly.

"These blood-sucking leeches are really annoying. This is where the special forces are stationed, and they can't come in. Don't go out and wander around, lest they stick to you."

"Don't worry, Sister Lianyi! My elder sister and I are not afraid of them, we are just too lazy to care about them."

"Sometimes public opinion can push people into the abyss. You should be careful."

Wu Lianyi reminded.

"Understood! So for this mission, my elder sister and I will participate no matter what. Let's see how they can follow."

Sun Wang wrinkled his nose and said, obviously very annoyed with his uncle's family.

While the two were talking, Sun Yi came over with a smile on her face:

"Lianyi, Xiao Wang, gather in the war room now!"

"Sister, what happened?"

Sun Wang immediately stood up and asked.

"The captain taken over this escort mission. Because it's an S-level mission, a deployment meeting must be held."

After hearing this, Sun Wang showed a happy face and ran out first, followed by Lianyi and Sun Yi.

After ten days of preparation, the escort team chose to set off that day.

In addition to the three scientific researchers, the escort team includes the military's Black Eagle Special Operations Squad and the Special Ability Combat team, as well as two relatively well-known zombie-hunting teams, namely: the Black Panther Zombie Hunting Team, and the Chaoyang Zombie Hunting Team.

There are more than a hundred people in the entire escort team. Except for the three scientific researchers, it can be said that all members are soldiers, which gives the three researchers a sense of security.

On the first day of departure, except for a break in the middle of the journey, the spectacular convoy was on the road at full speed for the rest of the time. The area around W City had basically been cleared, but they don't know what the situation would be like across the province on the road to the Capital base, so they naturally try to cover as much distance as they can.

Five consecutive days were spent like this. The high degree of cooperation of the three scientific researchers save them a lot of worries. On the sixth day, Sun Yi stopped the entire team.

"Eye Eagle, what did you find?"

Ying Ao's voice came over the two-way radio.

"In another day's journey, we will enter the territory of a group of doomsday lunatics, and they are waiting to devour our entire team."

Sun Yi did not hide anything and reported the situation she sensed to the team.

The words "doomsday lunatics" are specially given to those who unscrupulously unleashed their evil side because of the coming of the apocalypse. They enjoy the collapse of order very much and think that this is their opportunity. As long as they are strong enough, everything will be possible and they can enjoy all the resources.

The special operations squad has also fought against such people, but most of these people are hiding in remote places. This is the first time they encountered such group who planned to swallow them up, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that they are not an ordinary team.

"I will arrange for people to investigate the situation first. Everyone should go to a nearby resort to rest."

Ying Yi issued orders to the captains directly through the radio.

More than 50 vehicles immediately turned around and went to a nearby resort. It was said to be a resort, but it was actually a B&B. Fortunately, the houses were all in good condition.

Everyone was indeed a little tired after traveling continuously. The three scientific researchers also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. It was not that they were being pretentious, but the journey was really bumpy and their bodies couldn't bear it anymore.

The three scientific researchers consists of two men and one woman. The direction of their evolution was the development of the brain area, so they could achieve such gains in less than two years. This is also related to Wu Lianyi's early disclosure of the role of the crystal core.

At this time, Wu Lianyi was looking at the vicinity map. If she remembered correctly, this "Doomsday Lunatics" group was the organization that later colluded with Yun Rou.

At this time, they have not developed yet, but in the previous life they have become a force that can compete with major bases. Their predecessor accumulated resources through plundering, and their development was not that glorious.

However, because there were high-level ability-users among them, they could not be eradicated. Later, they colluded with Yun Rou and contributed to the destruction of the small world. This time Wu Lianyi decided to nip this force in the bud.

"Sister Lianyi, Ying Yan and I are going to investigate the situation."

Sun Wang said goodbye to his two sisters and set off to find out the news.

In the evening, the original inhabitants of the resort, a group of mutated chickens and ducks, returned from foraging for food and found that their territory had been occupied. They immediately got mad and started attacking them, but eventually became their meal.

Mutated animals are edible, which is also one of the information announced by the base's scientific researchers. Moreover, due to the mutation of the animals, their size has also increased and there is ample energy contained in them, which is a good thing for people with special abilities.

After everyone had a meal, they went to rest save for a few people on patrol in the resort. At around four o'clock in the morning, Sun Wang and Ying Yan returned to the resort, but their expressions were not good.

"There are about 150 of them, 10% of them are people with special abilities, and they have set up traps on the only road leading to L City to intercept passing convoys and zombie-hunting teams.

They also captured many women and children. The women were used for their entertainment and the children became their reserve rations.”

Sun Wang couldn't say the rest of the words, and his face became paler. What he saw at that time really destroyed his worldview, and he felt that these people could no longer be called human beings, but a group of heinous beasts!

Ying Yan was much calmer and continued:

"Their people were divided into two groups. One group set up an ambush at the entrance of L City, and the other group was stationed at the base camp. The two places are very close to each other so if there is a problem on one side, the other side can provide timely support.

The rest are easy to deal with, but one of their ability-users has a special ability similar to mine, and he should be the one who discovered our convoy. Flying Eagle and I were afraid of alerting the enemy so we didn't dare to go deeper. We only roughly checked the number of people, and then hurried back. "

------

T/N: It was actually more like 'Doomsday Maniacs' or 'Doomsday Fanatics' but with the given description and their operations, which will be revealed more in the next chapters, I feel like 'Doomsday Lunatics' fits them more. 😊

Ying Yan's ability based on his code name (Eagle Eye) should be that he is able to see long distances. I did not use the English translation because it will be confusing with Eye Eagle or Tong Ying which is literally Pupil Eagle. Is there any other word for 'pupil' that would work for someone who can foresee danger in the near future, or should I just change it to Pupil Eagle instead? 🤔
