Chapter 115: CH 115

The zombie had just retreated and disappeared from Gu Ning’s sight. If it wasn’t for the smashed door, the floor full of wood splinters while covered in green slime that oozed out of the zombie’s wounds, and her right arm that was still faintly painful, Gu Ning would almost have thought that the appearance of the mutant zombie just now was a hallucination on her part.

Fang Fa stared at the empty corridor with disbelief and a little incomprehensible before asking: “It… it run away?”

Cheng Ming and Zhang Xiaobai were also speechless.

It was no wonder that they were surprised because nothing could stop the zombie’s instinct to feed on living things. They had experienced so many battles with them and each time they had to kill them to avoid being bitten. Never once did they encounter such situation where the zombie retreated.

“Is this …… It’s being scared off by us?” Zhang XiaoBai exclaimed with disbelief.

Gu Ning was also puzzled if that zombie had fled because of those wounds on its body and knew it was no match with them. Then did this prove that the zombie that had been regarded as having no autonomous consciousness and only preying on living things by instinct had evolved autonomous consciousness?! The zombies in the state of instinct were already so terrifying if they were to evolve autonomous consciousness…… Gu Ning shivered from the thoughts of the possibilities.

However, this wasn’t the time for them to worry about it. The alarm had been lifted for now but there was still an unsettled score to settle.

Gu Ning’s icy-cold gaze focused on the spiritual ability user, Lu Qi, who was standing behind Zhang Ji and beside Zhou Yan whose expression was a bit unsightly. Gu Ning had specifically requested the spiritual ability user to follow them so that they could prevent this unpredictable danger from happening. If she hadn’t discovered it quickly just now, Fang Fa would have been seriously injured or maybe even lost his life. Gu Ning knew very well that their target wasn’t him, as apart from Fang Fa, she was the closest to that zombie, and right behind her, were the members of the Third Company team. If there was any slight mistake, the Third Company team would be the first to suffer!

It’s just that now was really not the time to settle the scores.

Gu Ning looked over at Zhang Ji and stated in a cold voice, “Zhang Ji, mind your people.” After saying that, she continued to walk up the stairs. Zhang XiaoBai, Zhong Xu, and Fang Fa were not stupid, it’s just that they didn’t notice it immediately until they heard Gu Ning’s statement. Their expression was grim and solemn as they stared at Lu Qi and Zhou Yan. Although they couldn’t swallow the anger, they knew that now was not the time to settle it so they ignored them and followed Gu Ning for now.

The other teams glanced at Zhang Ji’s team with a subtle look. It was obvious that the spiritual ability user in Zhang Ji’s team had just conned the Third company team. Previously, there were rumours that Zhang Ji’s team had fought with the Third Company team when they first entered the base and it seem like someone was not happy with the results.

Zhang Ji’s expression was slightly darkened as his sharp gaze swept over Lu Qi and Zhou Yan with obvious anger on his face. Lu Qi opened her mouth and tried to explain but Zhang Ji ignored her and went straight up the stairs.

Lu Qi gave Zhou Yan a resentful look, if she hadn’t begged so badly, she wouldn’t have made Zhang Ji angry and couldn’t help but push all the blame on Zhou Yan for causing all these troubles before hurriedly following the rest.

After the incident, the journey to the roof was smooth, with only a few ordinary zombies stumbling by and all of which was cleanly taken care of by Gu Ning.

The closer they got, the more urgent Gu Ning’s felt so she increased her pace as she climbed the floors. Reaching closer to the rooftop, except for the Fang Fa who could keep up with her, the rest were all left behind by a large margin. However, the feeling of uneasiness was getting stronger in Gu Ning’s heart. All these while to the top, there was no trace of zombie attacks found on the path at all, and there were no corpses of zombies. It was way too clean as if no one had passed through here before, what did this even mean now? Gu Ning was getting a bit worried.

“This Gu Ning, she isn’t a space ability user but a damn speed ability user, right?!” Yuan Ge lamented as he held onto the railing panting.

“Is it possible that she is a space and speed ability user?” someone in his team chimed.

“A dual abilities user? Never heard of it before. Plus you can see that she’s not extremely fast, so maybe she’s just physically fit.” After saying this, Yuan Ge also felt a little bit doubtful. Even he who had won the marathon championship back then and was physically fit was still incomparable to this freaky Gu Ning ah!

Gu Ning was unable to hear those comments as they were still struggling to climb up the thirty-fifth floor while she and Fang Fa had already reached the top.

The door to the top floor was still locked.

Gu Ning straight away used her knife to violently force open the lock, then pushed open the heavy iron door and walked out. As soon as Gu Ning walked out, she saw the helicopter parked in the centre and got very agitated. She quickly ran over after checking that there was nothing suspicious around it.

As she got closer, she noticed the helicopter had probably been under attack while it was still in the air. The whole fuselage was slightly dented and deformed as if it had been squeezed by a huge hand while the tail was broken, and the pilot of this helicopter must have very good piloting skills to land safely under such circumstances.

Gu Ning couldn’t suppress the nervousness in her heart as she approached and stepped on the pedals of the helicopter. When she found out that the helicopter was empty, Gu Ning was almost instantly relieved. She was really afraid that she would see someone familiar inside the helicopter when she got over. Gu Ning got into the cabin and examined it carefully. She was unable to find any documents or anything that might be a vaccine sample, but a backpack filled with all sorts of supplies was left at the side. It seems that they must have been in a great hurry when they left.

Gu Ning checked the cabin carefully once more before retreating and shaking her head at Fang Fa who was waiting outside, “There’s nothing.” Yet her mood was much lighter now. Whether it was Ji JiuZe, Yi ShaoQing, or Zhuang Chen, Gu Ning had great confidence in them as long as the helicopter didn’t crash. She believed that either one of them in this helicopter would definitely be able to find a way to escape, otherwise, there would be no way they had become the first squad.

Fang Fa was sensitive to the sudden change in Gu Ning’s mood but he was puzzled as Gu Ning looked very relieved when no man nor any vaccine documents were found. He didn’t think too deeply about it and while Gu Ning was checking the compartment, he also checked the surrounding: “There are traces of psychic battles over there, it should be that those people had encountered the mutant zombies and even a piece of the rail had been stripped off.” Fang Fa pointed in another direction before continuing: “There’s another door down there with another flight of stairs and I saw some of the green slimes which oozed out of that mutant zombie that we saw earlier. Plus there were also some damage on the wall caused by wind blades and other psychic powers. They should have probably gone down the passage from there. ”

This would fully explain why they didn’t see any traces along the way when they came up.

While waiting for the rest of the team to reach the rooftop, Gu Ning took another look around the area, and just like what Fang Fa had stated, a very fierce battle seem to have broken out. Moreover, the rails had been completely destroyed and even a little further past that, a hole had been made through the wall. Gu Ning analysed those traces in the battle and they were made from wind, fire, and earth psychic powers. She remembered that Zhuang Chen was a wind ability user and wind psychic power belonged to the mutation lineage, which was slightly rare so it was likely that this wind ability user was indeed Zhuang Chen!

Gu Ning and Fang Fa waited for almost five to fifteen minutes before everyone arrived. Fang Fa then told the others what he had concluded with Gu Ning, and after hearing Fang Fa’s speculation, the others were deeply convinced.

Zhang Ji spoke up: “The mutant zombie we encountered earlier seemed to be badly injured so it’s most likely injured by those people on this helicopter. It seems that there was a very strong ability user on this helicopter who might have probably escaped with the documents already. ”

Someone sneered discontentedly: “Then we’ve made a trip for nothing?!”

Zhong Xu mocked in reply: “Don’t worry, whether the documents are found or not, the supplies won’t be lessened for you.”

The person was immediately silent.

Considering that the others were physically exhausted, they took a small break in the roof for ten minutes. The rest were all paralyzed on the ground, even Cheng Ming, Zhang XiaoBai, and Zhong Xu were visibly exhausted. Zhang Ji found a place to sit down, then glanced over at Gu Ning with a feeling of complexity as she was still pacing around the area without any semblance of looking strained.

After a short break, Fang Fa urged the team as they struggled to get up from the ground to follow Gu Ning down another passage.

Gu Ning was still leading the team and as Fang Fa had observed previously, there was plenty of green slime trailing down the stairs and some even smeared on the wall along the passage. There were also lots of cut marks made by the wind blades and corpses of zombies filled the stairs, stacked one on top of another. For the first time, Gu Ning examined the corpses very carefully while her eyes skimmed over the faces of all of them.

It took nearly an hour to get up to the roof but the descent was quicker. It was only when Gu Ning had returned to the ground floor after making sure that there were no familiar faces among those corpses that she finally put her mind at ease.
