QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch31

 

CHAPTER 31 - The Tower of Death

"Is there any need to discuss this? We must get it! After we get it back, let the three bosses work overtime to modify the crystal core guns assigned to us first."

Sun Wang, the silly boy, was the first to speak, and was given a wave of cold stares.

"Flying Eagle, you also have to be alive to get the things back! Didn't you hear the captain say that everyone who accepted this mission never returned?"

Earth Eagle said with a frown.

"Then, can you refuse this mission?"

Sun Wang tilted his head and asked.

"......"

Well, this silly kid is telling the truth.

"After the equipment is in place to upgrade the crystal core gun, it will increase our bargaining chips with the Capital base. Flying Eagle is right. Since we cannot refuse, we have to think about how to complete this mission."

Ying Yi finally spoke.

"Tomorrow we will collect information first, including the blueprints of the scientific research building, the specific locations of the required instruments, and whether anyone has returned alive from there. Let's collect as much useful information as possible, and then make a decision after summarizing it."

"Roger!"

After a brief meeting, everyone dispersed. Sun Yi was detained by the four captains and asked for her opinion.

"Eye Eagle, how do you feel about this mission?"

"It doesn't feel very good, but it's not too bad either. The risk of the mission is very high. It's best for everyone to be cautious."

Sun Yi thought about it and said truthfully.

"Can you sense a specific danger?"

Ying Ao asked directly.

"Not for now. Perhaps after we take on the mission and arrive at the place, I will be able to sense it more clearly."

Sun Yi's special ability has broken through to Level 2. Because she accurately sensed the plant mutations last time and helped the temporary base avoid a major crisis, she is regarded as a well-known ability-user in the military. This time, in order to smoothly escort the researchers to the Capital base, she was specially allowed to accompany the team.

"All right. Thank you for your hard work! Let us know if there's anything unusual."

In the next three days, basically all the team members went out to collect information, while the three scientific researchers stayed quietly in their residence and never went out again, being very self-conscious.

On the morning of the fourth day, the twelve-person escort team left the K City base and headed for the scientific research building in K City, known as the "Tower of Death."

"Did they really accept that SS-level mission?"

"Yes, they spent three days collecting mission information and set off early this morning."

"Hopefully, they will succeed."

The person in charge of K City said a few words to his subordinates and then put the matter aside. Everything would have to wait until they come back alive.

The location of the research institute was not in the downtown area. It took their group of three vehicles five days to avoid a large number of zombies and reach the research building.

The 25-story white scientific research building stood there, giving people a very bleak feeling. The exterior of the building is covered with green plants, turning the original white building into a green building. Only the occasional white spaces allowed them to determine the original color of the building.

Wu Lianyi looked at the building, felt a sense of familiarity, and then quickly searched through the original body's memories. This was the place where the original body had been after becoming a zombie. She lost many of her brothers here, wiped out a group of mutated spiders, and became a Level 3 zombie after swallowing the crystal core of the mutant spider leader.

"Captain, there are mutated animals in the research building, a group of mutated white spiders."

Sun Yi's face was crumpled. She regretted taking this mission. This thing was what she feared the most.

After hearing this, everyone's expressions looked very interesting, and they turned their gazes to Ying Yi.

"Eye Eagle, can you hold on?"

 "Just barely."

"Then, let's move right away. Now that we know what it is, it's better than going in without knowing anything. Be careful. According to the previous plan, one team will provide cover and the other team will retrieve the equipment as soon as possible. Let's go!"

At Ying Yi's command, the three vehicles slowed down and quietly approached the white research building. There were several other vehicles parked at the entrance of the building. They were obviously rented by the zombie hunting teams, but they never had the chance to return them. .

Several people quietly walked over and checked a vehicle, and found that the door was open. The people inside undoubtedly left in a hurry.

"The thing is on the 10th floor, let's hurry up."

Ying Ao made a gesture, and a group of twelve people entered the building.

After entering the lobby on the first floor, there is a security gate, and the inscription "Contribute to the scientific research of the motherland" was engraved on the wall facing the entrance. On the right side are three elevators, and opposite the elevators is the stairwell.

Everyone chose to file into the stairwell, and saw neither zombies nor mutated spiders.

As the group of people quietly climbed up to the fourth floor, the silence was depressing along the way. Finally, Ying Yi raised his hand and made everyone stop.

"Don't you find it strange?"

"Yes, it's too quiet and too clean! I don't believe there will be no one here when the apocalypse comes. As far as I know, these scientific researchers are very involved, and it is common for them to work day and night. Moreover, at least five teams came ahead of us, but we haven't seen any zombies nor the spiders Eye Eagle mentioned, let alone any corpses.”

Ying Ao analyzed in a low voice.

Wu Lianyi was also looking around at this time. She always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Aah!" Sun Yi cried out while holding her head and falling to the ground in great pain.

"Not good! Something is attacking my sister!"

Sun Wang said in a low voice as he immediately stepped forward and helped Sun Yi up.

"Now! Fire at will!"

Ying Yi's eyes flashed and he ordered immediately.

Then he raised his hand and released a wave of water needles as a test. Earth Eagle released earth spikes, Wu Lianyi released a lightning net, and Ying Ao fired directly.

Within a few seconds, the originally white stairwell around them flashed, as if a curtain was torn open, revealing the discolored walls hidden behind, as well as the white spiders that had already crawled to their feet and started spinning silk.

Each of these mutated spiders was as big as a football, and there were two or three white spiders the size of a washbasin in the middle, which made everyone's scalp numb.

The next second, a team member was pulled down by the spider silk wrapped around his ankles, and then dragged out of the stairwell.

Wu Lianyi decisively took out her Lei Yao sword, poured lightning energy into it, then with a wave of her hand, cut off the spider silk wrapped around her ankles and killed the spider under her feet. Then she jumped forward and cut off the spider silk dragging her teammate and rescued him before the door of the stairwell closed.

"Close your eyes!"

Ying Ao roared and threw a flash bomb. A burst of white light flashed, and the white spiders that were swarming along the stairs, walls, and ceiling seemed to be frightened. They retreated in panic and huddled together.

"Quick! Upstairs!"

Sun Wang supported his elder sister and rushed up first, communicating through the intercom as he moved.

"The white spiders above are getting bigger and bigger, and the spider silk is very dense. We need a fire ability user to clear the way."

"Fire Eagle!"

"Roger!"

The team member who was throwing fireballs at the rear immediately switched positions with the people around him, rushed to the front, and began to clear the way.

"Among these group of mutated spiders, there are actually mutant spiders that can weave illusions!"
