The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 75 Reunion with Qin Yuan and Lin Yun

“Let’s take a gamble…” Gu Nanfeng took out an identity card from his backpack. It was the card that Qin Yuan had taken them to get when they arrived at the base. If it weren’t for the unexpected events that followed, the points on this card would have been enough for him to live a carefree life at the base for at least a year.

"You're not betting that guy surnamed Li hasn't deleted our information yet, are you?" Pei Sihao guessed as soon as he saw Gu Nanfeng take out the ID card.

“People like them will never do something they don’t have to do. I bet they didn’t delete it.” Gu Nanfeng’s ID card has access to the research institute. If their information hasn’t been deleted, then this card and Gu Nanfeng’s iris and fingerprints can open this door.

"Just to be on the safe side, continue down the stairs for three more floors to reach the freezer. The ceiling of the freezer has the ventilation duct I just drew. If they're really that diligent and delete our information, we'll run downstairs!" Gu Nanfeng finished speaking and walked towards the door alone.

No alarms were triggered along the way, so it seems he made the right bet.

Sure enough, nothing happened until he successfully opened the door to the isolation room. Seeing that Gu Nanfeng had successfully opened the door, the group didn't hesitate and quickly ran into the isolation room.

The isolation room wasn't as big as they had imagined. Upon entering, there were two rows of prison-like rooms, each with one person inside. The first few rooms were filled with roaring soldiers, who looked familiar to Lu Yuan. They must be the soldiers from 0922 and 0419 who were on a mission to T City.

"Holy crap, this is..." Looking at the soldiers locked in the isolation room, even though the temperature inside had risen, Yang Xiao still felt himself trembling. Although they hadn't turned into zombies, it was clear that everyone had gone mad.

"So you can't just eat mushrooms from Y Province." After entering, Zhang Hao walked in front and saw Du Wenqing, whom he had met before.

Unlike the other soldiers, Du Wenqing wasn't screaming wildly or scratching around in the small room. He was just sitting on his cot, staring blankly at the ground.

Judging from the overall situation in the isolation room, he must have been in a frenzied state before. After all, Du Wenqing's hands were covered in blood, as were the walls. His fingers were visibly worn raw, and some of his fingernails were even curled up.

"I didn't eat mushrooms." Zhang Hao thought that although Du Wenqing hadn't gone mad, he was probably in a state of mental confusion. He didn't expect him to actually respond to him.

"I didn't expect you guys to actually come." Du Wenqing looked up and saw Lu Yuan and Gu Nanfeng. Although he had only met them formally once, he was very impressed by these students who had generously donated money.

"Captain Du, where are Captain Qin and Captain Lin?" While Zhang Hao and Du Wenqing were talking, Lu Yuan and the others checked all the small isolation rooms along the way, but they couldn't find Qin Yuan and Lin Yun.

"The innermost part." Du Wenqing tilted his head and looked at the door at the end of the road.

"I'll let you out first." Of the six of them, only Gu Nanfeng knew about these electronic devices. He squatted down and tried to open the door that was locking Du Wenqing.

"Don't open it," Du Wenqing lowered his head again, "I can't guarantee I won't go crazy again."

After hearing what Du Wenqing said in the isolation room, Gu Nanfeng also stopped what he was doing.

Indeed, the soldiers in the other rooms were all insane. Du Wenqing's combat strength was no less than that of those soldiers. He was sober now, but there was no guarantee that he wouldn't go crazy again later.

"Okay, let's go find Captain Qin and the others first." After saying that, Gu Nanfeng and the other four walked towards the inner door.

Zhang Hao didn't follow. He sat down on the floor outside Du Wenqing's isolation room. "I won't go in with them. Let's talk about what happened between you two..."

Gu Nanfeng successfully opened the inner door again, leading to another isolation room. This isolation room was different from the cage-like isolation room outside. Each door was completely enclosed, like the one they had on the 22nd floor before, with only a small observation window on each door, allowing a view of the room's interior.

Lu Yuan thought there were only Qin Yuan and Lin Yun inside, but to his surprise, there were several other people in the isolation rooms. The only difference was that Qin Yuan and Lin Yun were both healthy and had all their limbs intact. They were sitting in their own rooms in a daze, and they were quite surprised to see Lu Yuan and the others.

The people in the other rooms were all lying in hospital beds, all with some physical defects, and their faces were very pale, with a faint chill emanating from them.

"Who are these people?" Pei Sihao looked around. They were all receiving blood transfusions with blood packs attached. He remembered what Fei Wen had said before: 0922 and 0419 were full-strength when they returned. After that, more than a dozen of them went berserk, and more than twenty were bitten to death. In other words, the people lying here were not soldiers who had returned from the expedition.

"It might be one of the people who were previously announced to be frozen," Lu Yuan guessed. "Could it be that some people whose conditions weren't too serious weren't frozen and were transferred here instead?"

"Keeping them like this is much more expensive than freezing them directly," Yang Xiao said, offering his own speculation.

“When we were locked up here, some of them were already here.” Lin Yun’s room was the first to be cracked by the decoder, and he came out of the room. “However, some of them were only transferred here two days ago. When they first arrived, they seemed terribly cold.”

"So that means they were just thawed?" Zhong Qiang remembered that the city's central hospital's cold storage was just three floors downstairs, and for some reason, a chill instinctively rose up in his heart.

"They secretly thawed frozen people for experiments?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled. He seemed to have guessed something but wasn't sure. He turned to look at Lin Yun, just as Qin Yuan emerged from the room where he had been locked up. "You..."

Lin Yun nodded, but didn't say anything. Although there were only seven of them in the room, they saw Zhang Hao sitting on the floor outside the door.

"Captain Du has regained consciousness, but the other soldiers are still in a frenzied state. We can only take Captain Du with us at most." After the group came out of the isolation room, Gu Nanfeng glanced at the small cubicle outside, but did not see Captain Li Jie of 0922.

"I will not abandon my soldiers." Du Wenqing said quietly after hearing Gu Nanfeng's words.

“Captain Du, you can’t stay here. You have a more important mission.” Gu Nanfeng began to unlock Du Wenqing’s door. “You are the only one among these people who has regained consciousness. You have to come with us to the South China Base.”

“Yes, you have to go to the South China Base.” When Gu Nanfeng mentioned the South China Base, Zhang Hao realized what he meant. He was sent by the West China Base, so he naturally had some understanding of the missions of the country’s four major bases.

"South China Base?" Qin Yuan was a little confused. To avoid panic during the rescue, he and Lin Yun had been hiding their identities and were in Du Wenqing and Li Jie's team, so they had not met Zhang Hao directly. Later, after returning to the base, they were detained due to an accident, and they did not have time to learn about the national base from Du Wenqing.

"There's no time to explain now, we need to go to another place." Gu Nanfeng unlocked Du Wenqing's door; it was just past 1 a.m.
