Chapter 410 Energy Fluctuations in the Granary
But both Xiao Jin and Lu Jing were worried.
Lu Jing was worried about Cen Nian because he was afraid that something might go wrong and get him killed, while Xiao Jin simply didn't trust Professor Chen.
She was worried that Cen Nian was inexperienced and would suffer at the hands of Professor Chen.
So instead of letting the two of them rest together, they chose a smart player to watch over Professor Chen in the middle of the night.
Professor Chen felt quite aggrieved after discovering this. Even if he had any ideas, he didn't dare to act on them now!
They are weak and powerless, and can be bullied by others. Xiao Jin and the other two are really overthinking.
After a whole day of hard work, everyone was a little tired.
Xiao Jin and Cen Nian were the researchers who set out in the morning. After picking up the people, they rushed to the Universal Building without even taking a breath.
But Lu Jing and his team are not much behind.
These people have been wandering around Linhai City since the beginning of the apocalypse, and they have personally experienced the changes after the two black rains.
Lu Jing set his sights on the Universal Building and wanted to clear out the zombies inside.
Who would have thought that while they were fighting, a helicopter flew overhead and landed on the top floor of the building.
Then we have to go and take a look.
The people in the official security zone had a mission to accomplish, so when they saw Lu Jing and the others, they naturally scolded them to leave. This really stirred up a hornet's nest.
The player was not a good person. He killed the man immediately and even took away the helicopter.
But when Lu Jing wanted to leave, they received a side mission to escort Professor Chen to the Ark Base, and later met Xiao Jin.
Tired? Not bad, the players have long been accustomed to this kind of non-stop life, so they have also trained themselves to fall asleep with their eyes closed.
As soon as everyone got into the tent, within less than a minute, snoring sounds could be heard one after another.
………………
Xiao Jin chose a good location. Until 9 o'clock in the morning, nothing appeared around to disturb them.
But it was already this late and no one could sleep anymore.
In the weather in July and August, lying in a tent is like lying in a big furnace, it is almost suffocating.
"Gudong, gudong!" Xiao Jin got up early, washed up, packed up the tent, and found a shady place to eat breakfast.
Because it was too hot, she had no appetite.
So Xiao Jin symbolically took out a cup of iced mung bean soup and ate it half full with two ham sandwiches.
After she finished eating, Cen Nian beside her also got up.
Xiao Jin threw him a breakfast and said, "Please tidy up first, and come with me over there after you finish eating."
Cen Nian looked in the direction Xiao Jin was looking and saw a building there. It looked like... a warehouse?
"Okay." Cen Nian agreed readily.
After a while, the two arrived at the building.
Cen Nian was right in his guess. This was indeed a warehouse, but it was a semi-abandoned granary.
Why is it called semi-abandoned?
This granary is not small. Except for one side close to the gate where there are signs of life, the other half in the distance is completely abandoned.
The ground was bare gravel, overgrown with weeds, and there were almost no traces of wheels.
"What did you notice?" Cen Nian stood in front of the door and couldn't help but look inside.
Xiao Jin: "A strange smell."
Xiao Jin gently stroked the hilt of Shattered Shadow's sword, and recalled that inexplicable feeling. He always felt that something was wrong.
After getting off the plane last night, Xiao Jin didn't feel anything unusual.
But when she woke up this morning, she suddenly sensed a strange energy fluctuation, and the source of the fluctuation was the location of the granary.
Since she couldn't see anything for the time being, Xiao Jin didn't worry. She didn't come over with Cen Nian until everyone got up.
Hearing Xiao Jin's low voice, Cen Nian's heart suddenly tightened, as if it was gently grabbed by an invisible hand.
He was too familiar with Xiao Jin and rarely saw her so serious.
Then, the two of them quietly passed through the mottled iron gate and stepped into the granary.
As soon as you come in, you can see warehouses of various sizes in front of you. Some doors are open, while others are closed.
Continuing to walk inside following the perception, Xiao Jin soon brought Cen Nian to the innermost warehouse.
The dust danced in the dim light, and there was complete silence all around.
However, this silence did not last long. When they just stepped into the depths, Xiao Jin's face suddenly changed.
Her steps came to an abrupt halt, her eyes flashing with alertness: "No, get out first."
Cen Nian's heart rose to his throat, and he could almost feel his accelerated heartbeat and rapid breathing.
Faced with Xiao Jin's sudden order, he did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately followed.
The two figures began to retreat slowly, taking every step carefully, as if they were afraid of disturbing the things in the warehouse.
When they retreated back to the gate of the granary, Xiao Jin's expression gradually returned to its usual calmness, but there was still a lingering haze in the depths of his eyes.
Seeing this, Cen Nian, who was standing by, finally dared to ask, "Brother, what happened?"
Xiao Jin was silent for a moment, then she slowly spoke with a thoughtful look on her face: "In the innermost warehouse... there seem to be a large number of zombies hidden.
There are a lot of them, and their levels are not low either."
Having said that, Xiao Jin's eyes unconsciously looked into the granary, as if he could penetrate the thick iron plates and see the heart-pounding scene inside.
When Cen Nian heard this, his heart suddenly shook, and a chill rushed up his spine to the top of his head.
Brother Xiao Jin said that there are a lot of zombies in there, how many are there?
"But why are they hiding there? Are they controlled by some advanced zombies?" Cen Nian asked seriously.
“I’m not sure, but the unknown energy I felt was indeed in that warehouse. Perhaps the gathering of zombies is related to it.”
Although there were some minor accidents, they were not serious.
Although Xiao Jin was curious, she didn't like to join in all the fun. So the two returned to the campsite and were greeted by Lu Jing.
"What? I almost thought you left me and ran away."
Xiao Jin sat on an outdoor chair without even raising his eyelids: "Don't look like a complaining woman. After all, you are still a well-known boss."
"Huh? A shrew? Me?" Lu Jing pointed at his nose.
Xiao Jin: "What else?"
However, she still told Lu Jing what had just happened. After hearing it, Lu Jing looked eager to try.
"That's interesting." He touched his chin and glanced at Professor Chen.
Professor Chen's body stiffened and a bad premonition flashed through his mind.
"My intuition tells me that place is not simple. If you want to go there, you may have to give up the other mission." At this time, Xiao Jin said lightly.
"Indeed, it seems that the branch line on the Ark side is more secure."
After thinking about it, Lu Jing gave up the idea. After all, they didn't have much time left.
When he returns after completing the mission tomorrow at noon, if the side quest at the granary is not completed and he loses the Ark line, he will be at a great loss.
