Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 703 The Apocalypse (25)

Lin Yu and the military personnel were in an abandoned building about 200 meters away from the meteorological bureau.

The zombie density outside was too high, and Yan Zhen led his team to hide and conceal themselves all the way. It took them two hours to cover a distance of less than 400 meters, until it was completely light before they were able to meet up with Lin Yu.

Upon seeing Lin Yu and noticing their current appearance, Yan Zhen frowned slightly.

The military dispatched a large number of people to carry out such an important mission, but at this moment, many were wounded or killed, and less than fifteen people were still alive. Among them, including Lin Yu, only four or five people could still walk on their own.

Yan Zhen immediately instructed his team to check their wounds, bandage them if necessary, and kill any that showed signs of infection.

While she was busy, she asked Lin Yu, "How did you get so badly injured?"

Lin Yu's right hand was covered in blood, the flesh at the base of his thumb was torn open, and he could no longer hold his gun: "...There was a traitor in the team, we were ambushed."

No wonder.

The average quality of the military special forces is much higher than that of these self-taught fighters; no one but a trusted teammate could have injured them like this.

After a flurry of activity, everyone's injuries were treated.

Lin Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, ignoring his injuries, and immediately took out a map from his bag, unfolded it, and began to plan his next move.

"Our mission objectives are divided into two parts. One part is to go deep into the meteorological bureau to retrieve the catalyst, move it out of the warehouse, transport it to the roof, and take it away by drone. The other part is to go to the flight base next to the meteorological bureau to repair the aircraft, and then drive it away directly after repair."

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked up and glanced at everyone present, then lowered his head and pondered for three seconds.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with a resolute determination to die for his cause. He said to Yan Zhen, "Fang Ye, I need everyone in your base except Xiao Feng to be mobilized. We must complete this mission at all costs. I will make arrangements with the military before we set off. Regardless of whether the mission succeeds or not, the military will send someone to pick up the children under the age of twelve from the Ark Shelter and bring them to the military region to raise them."

In addition, the military region developed a special temperature-regulating coating six months ago. Applying a thick layer of this coating to the walls can withstand temperatures as low as -103 degrees Celsius. However, the material for this coating is rare, the production cycle is long, and the military has a limited supply. If you can complete this mission, I will apply to the military region for a special allocation of a batch of this coating to the Ark Shelter to help you safely weather this cold wave.”

Yan Zhen's heart stirred.

The military region indeed has a secret to combating extreme cold.

However, they have to risk their lives to obtain such precious paint.

Yan Zhen was tempted, but didn't immediately agree: "I need to discuss it with my teammates."

"it is good."

Yan Zhen turned around and gave his teammates a wink.

The team members all followed her to a corner, where they formed a circle and squatted down.

But no one spoke; everyone looked at each other in silence.

Half of the team members who followed Yan Zhen were all alone.

Everyone followed Yan Zhen out to gather supplies and complete missions, risking their lives to make a living, all in order to obtain more supplies, live in spacious houses, and have better material conditions.

Right now, they need to risk their lives to get that batch of paint. To put it bluntly, they might die during the mission, while the survivors of the shelter, who are not related to them by blood, would benefit. It's normal for them to feel resentful.

After a long pause, Yan Zhen said, "Those who want to leave, stay where you are. If I don't come back, I'll leave the responsibility of supervising the military to keep their promise and taking the children to the military region to you."

As soon as he said that, Xiaolong moved closer to her: "Boss, you know, you gave me my life. Don't even mention dying with you, I'd do whatever you say, even if you made me eat shit."

Yan Zhen: "...There's no need for that."

Xiao Long chuckled, reached past Yan Zhen, poked Jing Chen who was squatting on the other side of Yan Zhen, and gestured with his lips to signal him to express his opinion.

Jing Chen was baffled by her question: "Is that even a question? If you can do this much for the boss, I can definitely do more and better than you."

As he spoke, Jing Chen winked at Yan Zhen: "The place you want to go is my direction~"

Xiao Long: "Then would you be willing to eat shit for the boss?"

Jing Chen rolled up his sleeves: "Get lost! I think you're asking for a beating!"

Yan Zhen blocked them with one hand each: "Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

The two then ceased fighting.

Old Chen was the third person to speak up. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Didn't you say I was needed to repair airplanes? Of course I can't refuse. Before the apocalypse, I was a car mechanic. I always smelled of engine oil and got a lot of dirty looks from my boss. I never thought I'd become successful in the apocalypse and be able to repair airplanes for the military. Even if I die here, I can still brag to my friends in the afterlife."

After Old Chen said that, the two team members who were learning car repair from him also said they wanted to go together.

The team members took turns expressing their opinions, and in the end, except for one member who was hesitant and unwilling to take the risk, the remaining ten were all willing to make the trip.

Yan Zhen did not blame the team member who was unwilling to go, but instead instructed him: "Keep an eye on Xiao Feng for me. If we don't come back, when the military comes to pick you up, ask them to help send that truckload of supplies outside the city back to the base as well."

The team member was both ashamed and upset: "Boss..."

"Alright." Yan Zhen patted his shoulder. "Don't make it sound like a life-or-death separation. We might come back."

After discussing it, Yan Zhen and Lin Yu decided that ten people would be sent from the Ark Shelter, and five people from the military who could still get up and walk would be included, including Lin Yu. The fifteen people would be divided into two teams, one going to the flight base and the other to the meteorological bureau.

The task is scheduled for the evening, so everyone should take the time to rest.

The day passed peacefully, but as night fell, two more of the seriously wounded military personnel died.

Lin Yu moved their bodies to the next room and placed them there. After returning, he silently wrapped his injured hand with several more layers of gauze.

Yan Zhen frowned as he watched the newly wrapped gauze on the back of Yan Zhen's hand quickly become soaked with blood: "Are you sure you can do this?"

This mission was extremely dangerous. Even able-bodied people might not return from such a densely packed area of ​​zombies, so sending someone who was already injured was simply suicide.

Yan Zhen was worried that he wouldn't be able to help and would only be a burden to her.

Lin Yu replied firmly, "Yes."

After saying that, Lin Yu took out his communicator and contacted the military to report the promised reward to Yan Zhen.

The military region agreed without hesitation.

Yan Zhen was relieved to receive a positive reply.

As soon as it got completely dark, she said goodbye to the sobbing Xu Songfeng and set off for the flight base with a small team consisting of Jing Chen, Lin Yu, Lao Chen, two other car repair team members, and the only remaining aircraft mechanic from the military.

The military's aircraft mechanic, surnamed Zhang, was injured in the attack. He lost too much blood and his injuries were so severe that he could not walk. Lin Yu and Lao Chen took turns carrying him.
