Mist

Chapter 20

Ji Yushi had read a brief introduction to the base in the book and he also saw a plan for the next stage of Golden Crow No. 2.

“The network here is closed, making it difficult to locate the base directly but we can still find it.” Ji Yushi said, “The base was built to be very large. It is of a hemispherical shape and the two bases are mirror images of each other.”

Song Qinglan thought for a while, “Does it look like an inverted bowl?”

Ji Yushi said yes.

Song Qinglan, “When you were checking the books at the bookstore, Duan Wen from Team 3 and I saw a place like that through the drone but I’m just not sure if it’s Golden Crow No.1 or Golden Crow No.2.”

As he said that, Song Qinglan made Duan Wen fly the drone out again to confirm.

The spacecar started moving.

From the back of the bookstore, they left the small hillside that they had been using as a temporary base.

From the distance, there were many buildings and lush greenery. Even the zombies wandering around aimlessly looked like ordinary humans, giving them a sense of what this world probably looked like if the mutations never occurred.

At this moment, the Team 2 from the second cycle was still searching for information in the bookstore and forming a plan.

They were completely unaware that in a little more than two hours, they would be chased by the black wall’s sudden appearance, fail to escape using an old off-road car, and be completely annihilated by the black wall that obscured a large part of the sky.

As for the memory of escaping from the bookstore during the second cycle, all the teammates had no memory of it with the exception of Zhou Mingxuan who was still alive at the time.

Giving Tang Qi control of the spacecar, Zhou Mingxuan who possessed some vague memories felt very complicated inside.

“Advisor Ji, is it quite uncomfortable remembering all the bad memories?”

Zhou Mingxuan also sat on the floor and leaned against the car wall.

Like Song Qinglan, many people have heard about Ji Yushi’s hyperthymesia, but they had never taken it seriously until now.

Zhou Mingxuan moved his hand to rub the short hairs on the back of his head, “In fact, I haven’t been able to adjust too well. It feels like a nightmare and different point-of-views would appear from time to time. It’s a little hard telling what’s real.”

When the car hit the wire fence, Zhou Mingxuan who was in the driver’s seat had directly died from a broken cervical spine.

What do people think of the moment before their death?

Zhou Mingxuan unfortunately could answer this question.

Ji Yushi quietly looked at him.

The white T-shirt in combination with his small face made him look frail.

Zhou Mingxuan looked in Song Qinglan’s direction and said with embarrassment, “I’m definitely not as good as Cap Song but since Advisor Ji you can also do it, I want to ask you how I can adjust to this.”

This time Zhou Mingxuan was ready to risk it all.

When Ji Yushi first joined the squad, he had looked down on him. Right now, he had slapped his own face several times.

Fortunately, Ji Yushi didn’t put on airs and answered, “Distract yourself.”

Zhou Mingxuan was puzzled.

Ji Yushi said to him, “Find something that makes you concentrate and soon you won’t have the extra energy to think about the things you don’t want to think about.”

Zhou Mingxuan, “For example?”@@@@

Ji Yushi answered seriously, “For example, joining a new team and going to another world to fight against monsters together.”

Duan Wen found the drone and set its position over that giant dome shaped building.

Song Qinglan said, “We have a spacecar. We should arrive before the people of Team B.”

At that time it was the other Duan Wen who had discovered the base with him and now, that Duan Wen had joined Team B so Team B would most definitely go there too.

The spacecar rolled over a few zombies, spattering blood across the ground.

This road was outside of the main city so there weren’t many zombies, but the road conditions were very bad.

About the time the catastrophe happened, many people probably thought of leaving the city. With many damaged and abandoned cars on the road, the spacecar couldn’t move too quickly.

“If it is determined that it is not Golden Crow No.2, we will need to move to the next base.” Song Qinglan planned, “They have fewer people and lack equipment so we should leave some behind for them.”

Tang Le was happy to have someone who understood him, “Advisor Ji, you also have an older brother?!”

Ji Yushi said lightly, “Yes, but I’m the one beating him.”

Tang Le: “......”

The drone hovered around until the three of them entered the security room before leaving. It is presumed that the distance between Team B and them wasn’t too far. They were at most half an hour away.

But soon, everyone saw the three of them come back out. They didn’t place the equipment down and just stood there saying something with a strange expression.

Even Song Qinglan’s expression wasn’t very good.

When everyone in the car saw this, they all got out the back door to check on the situation.

On the wasteland not far away, more than a dozen zombies were running towards the entrance of the base.

Gunfire sounded.

Brains exploded, and the zombies fell to the ground.

Ji Yushi had also used Diamond Bird to kill a few, causing the wound on his abdomen to be reopened. When he reached the security room, his forehead was sweaty, “What’s the matter?”

They originally planned to leave the equipment and go.

Ji Yushi had a bad feeling. He had always been very keen in this sense.

Ji Yushi stood in place while Tang Le and the others had already hurried into the room. When they came out again, their faces were all pale.

Song Qinglan had already pulled himself back together in a very short period of time.

Under this heavy atmosphere, he even spoke with a relaxed tone, “Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news?”

“Bad news.” Ji Yushi almost didn’t hesitate.

Under the scorching sun, his brows were wet from sweat, making him look fierce.

“The bad news is that for some reason we once again died.” Song Qinglan looked at them and spoke, “The good news is that the future us seems to be a little smarter and have left a message.”

It turned out that clues had been left in the security room of Golden Crow No.1.

A knife was used to engrave the following words onto the ground, “Turn off energy supply of the two bases.”

Signed below was: Team 5.

From the writing, it was left by Song Qinglan himself.

Team 5 had experienced everything they had and once the cycle restarted at the park, they didn’t waste time and rushed straight to their destination.

Then, as Song Qinglan said before, they continued advancing. Even if they failed, they left clues behind for next time.

But no one could be happy hearing this.

Because every time the cycle restarted, it was due to the entire squad in the cycle before that being annihilated.

The so-called death elimination was indeed just as Ji Yushi had said. It was to ensure that the mission could be completed even if there was only one person left.

The emergence of Team 5 meant that whether it was the current Team 3 or the Team 4 from a parallel timeline, they would all die in this cycle, and thus Team 5 was born.

They had clearly just regrouped and pumped themselves up to do everything they could to clear the mission, but this clue was equivalent to leaving them with a death sentence, reminding them they were going to die soon.

In this foreign world established by the time anchor, they felt like fish caught in a net, unable to escape their predetermined fate.

Ji Yushi was shocked. His pupils gradually constricted.

Team 5.

Turn off energy supply of the two bases.

That black wall.....

Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on Ji Yushi’s pale face. When he raised his head again, his eyes were bright, “I know how to clear it!”

Everyone: “???”

Although Song Qinglan didn’t know what Ji Yushi thought of, a smile also appeared on his face.

He looked at Ji Yushi and asked, “Advisor Ji, is there a prize for guessing right?”
