Chapter 402 Another wave of uninvited guests
There was a deafening sound and everyone looked up in shock.
The upper floor of the skyscraper suddenly burst into a dazzling flame, as if it was being torn apart by an angry beast.
The flames carried a deadly breath of destruction, and then a deafening explosion roared over, shaking every inch of the air and making people's hearts stop.
With the aftermath of the explosion, countless sharp stones and sharp glass fragments poured down from the dome of the building, cutting the surrounding space into pieces.
Witnessing this sudden change, everyone's faces turned pale as paper in an instant, and fear was intertwined in everyone's eyes.
At the moment of the explosion, Xiao Jin and Cen Nian both showed extraordinary reaction speeds.
The two men, one in front and one behind, didn't even blink, they turned around and ran to find cover.
The rest of the people also came to their senses after a brief moment of shock, and their instinct for survival drove them to take quick action.
Some people crawled under the cars parked on the roadside without hesitation and used the iron sheets as a line of defense, while others relied on the strength of their legs and ran as fast as they could into the distance.
In the midst of this chaos, Wansha seemed unusually calm.
She raised her hand slightly, and a bridge made of stone and soil quickly wrapped her whole body tightly underneath.
Then, there were continuous "crackling" sounds, which were the sounds of remaining stones and glass fragments falling to the ground.
"What happened? Why was there an explosion?" Liu Chong was so excited that he even spoke in dialect.
Xiao Guo, who was lying under the car, covered his mouth and nose and said in a buzzing voice: "I don't know either, but the higher-ups said they would send someone to pick us up, but the time is not now!"
Xiao Jin's eyes were sharp. Seeing that the danger was temporarily lifted, he walked out of the house with Cen Nian.
She raised her head and squinted her eyes slightly, and vaguely seemed to see several blurry figures on the edge of the rooftop.
Seeing this, without any hesitation, Xiao Jin quickly took out a telescope from the space, put the tube close to his eye socket, and looked up at the top of the building.
"How is it?" Cen Nian asked.
His words attracted everyone's attention, and their eyes were focused on Xiao Jin, anxiously waiting for her answer.
After a moment, Xiao Jin slowly put down the telescope. The light flashing in his eyes was complex and difficult to discern, and seemed a little strange.
"Are the higher-ups... planning to evacuate the researchers by helicopter?" Her voice was soft but clear enough for everyone to hear.
When Xiao Guo heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
He remembered that he had never mentioned this matter. Why did Xiao Jin know the details of the evacuation? "How do you know?" He asked this question subconsciously.
Xiao Guo's reaction already proved that Xiao Jin guessed correctly.
Xiao Jin raised his chin and said, "I saw it through the telescope.
There is a helicopter on the rooftop of the building. Although we don’t know what happened, the rescue personnel should have arrived ahead of time.”
Arrived early?
After everyone realized what was happening, their first thought was "Great!" Especially Xiao Guo, who thought he would have to spend the night in the building.
I was about to say, "Then hurry up!"
Xiao Jin added: "But the support personnel were fighting with another group of people, and they were also responsible for the explosion."
Xiao Guo was suddenly confused. Another group of people, what another group of people?
But what Xiao Jin said next almost made Xiao Guo faint from suffocation.
"Those guys are here to steal the helicopter!"
"What?" Liu Chong shouted, his mouth twitching.
He finally understood why Xiao Jin had that expression.
Professor Chen and his team, who had just walked over, were anxious: "How could this happen? How did they know there was a helicopter here?"
After saying this, he looked at Xiao Jin and others suspiciously.
After all, for such a dangerous mission, only the people who 'issue' and 'accept' it know the details best.
Seeing Professor Chen's suspicious look, everyone became furious.
Old man, we risked our lives to save you many times, and you still dare to doubt us.
"Teacher, the helicopter cannot be stolen." Shi Lei also cried on the side: "If the helicopter is really stolen, how are we going to get to the official safe zone!"
The space froze in an instant.
Everyone looked heavy.
"No, we have to go up and help!" a person with special abilities shouted.
Although I have doubts, now is not the time to worry about it. The helicopter must not be taken away.
They have already rescued the people and all that’s left is the handover. A large amount of contribution points are right before their eyes, so how can they give up all their efforts at this moment?
The rest of the people had the same idea.
Xiao Jin and Cen Nian looked at each other, revealing expressions that only they could understand.
Because just when they got off the car, they both received a side quest at the same time.
[Ding——It is detected that the player has arrived at the key location, and the side quest will be automatically triggered: seize the helicopter (success reward points 3000, strengthening stone x1).
Mission Description: The capital's security zone was captured by level 6 zombies, and those in power fled urgently for refuge. The Ark Project was officially launched.
At the same time, a helicopter carrying bacterial and virus research experts will fly directly from Linhai City to the Ark at Sea, and players need to carry important targets to the Ark base.
(Note: If there is no research expert in the helicopter, the Ark Armed Forces will destroy all uninvited persons who approach)]
As soon as the mission appeared, everything became clear: the capital's safe zone had been penetrated by zombies, and all those in power had fled.
The so-called Ark Base should be a cruise ship at sea. The space on the cruise ship is limited, and those who can go on board are all national elites, senior government officials and important talents.
A big shot in the research institute like Professor Chen must of course be picked up as soon as possible.
Xiao Jin and Cen Nian need to seize the helicopter and take Professor Chen with them. To put it bluntly, Professor Chen is a human pass. Without him, the two of them cannot board the Ark.
In this case, the people fighting with the handover personnel above must be players without a doubt.
As the "traitors" in the team, Xiao Jin and his companion did not act rashly, but followed the team in a low-key manner.
The group ran into the building and found the ground full of shattered zombie corpses.
All the zombies in this building have been cleared out!
The further they walked, the more frightened they became, and even their breathing became heavier and heavier.
Soon, they saw different corpses in front of them. They were obviously not zombies, but normal humans.
These dead people were wearing the same combat uniforms and were obviously official personnel. At this moment, they were silent and lying on the ground with twisted limbs.
