Chapter 35 Arrival in the Capital

"Liàn Yī stood on the branch of a hundred-year-old sycamore tree, calmly replied."Do not underestimate the acuity of cultivators, especially those who have survived to this day. Those who are consider...Three research experts, upon seeing the equipment placed in an empty room, immediately had their eyes light up and rushed over. They circled the equipment several times, nodding in approval.

"We've only seen this set of instruments in computer images before, but it's so much prettier in real life."

"Well, I didn't know they had this equipment in K City before. They must be afraid we'll borrow it, so they haven't released any information to the public."

"Hehe! In the end, it still ended up in our hands!"

Looking at the somewhat lecherous smile on the face of the research bigwig, Eaglewing couldn't help but laugh and cry. However, he still said:

"Three, how long will it take to upgrade our core guns We can't stay at the K City base for too long."

"With this equipment, it'll be quick. Give us five days, and you guys can have a well-deserved rest."

The sole female research expert was in charge of negotiating with both the Noodles and the Eagle Wings. After swiftly sending off the Eagle Wing Captain, she began to retreat to upgrade her crystal nucleus gun. Sun Yi was responsible for delivering her three meals a day.

At the same time, Wu Lianyi's mind echoed with the voice of the communicator:

"The mission progress is three-fifths complete, Tasker. Your time to leave this place has been shortened. Keep up the good work!"

"What's the reason for the mission's progress Couldn't it be the nuclear gun That was researched a long time ago!"

Wu Lianyi directly asked the communicator.

“Because of the equipment you retrieved, the upgrade time for the nuclear core gun was significantly shortened, accelerating the development of weapons to eliminate zombies in the small world. Even more powerful nuclear core weapons will appear afterward, all based on the template of this upgraded nuclear core gun.”

The communicator answers truthfully.

Wu Lianyi nodded, this time it was a lucky shot. Her original goal was that Tier 3 crystal nucleus.

Five days later, everyone received the upgraded crystal nucleus guns and couldn't put them down.

"Captain, with ample energy cores available, can we use the energy core guns"

"OK."

Before, we didn't use them because the core supply was insufficient. They are all superhuman, and they kept the cores to enhance their abilities, which wasn't enough. With the presence of conventional weapons, core guns weren't a necessary choice. Now it's different, a level-zero core can support them in completing a small battle.

During this period, Wu Lianyi absorbed the level-3 crystal core, raising her own ability level to level 3. The Sun siblings' abilities also improved, needing only a level-3 crystal core to directly upgrade.

The overall strength of the escort team has improved, and everyone is more confident.

The Black Panther squad and the Sunrise squad's captains went directly to Captain Eaglewing to discuss whether they could be equipped with some nuclear-powered guns. After reaching an agreement, the two civilian necromancer squads were subsequently equipped with nuclear-powered guns.

The escort team braved countless obstacles along the way, taking three months to finally reach the outskirts of the capital base as autumn drew to a close.

The closer the escort team got to the capital base, the more intense the battles became, and the zombies grew increasingly formidable. Fortunately, everyone on the team was skilled and had the advantage of nuclear weapons, allowing them to escape safely each time.

Over the course of these three months, both the Black Panther and Dawnbreak corpse-collecting squads suffered casualties. To fill the gaps, they had to recruit capable individuals along the way, which resulted in a somewhat chaotic team dynamic.

...and the two military squads, Hawk Wing and their group, suffered significantly fewer casualties. They also recruited some capable new team members, including two former special forces operatives who had a connection with Hawk Wing, allowing them to integrate into the team very quickly.

During this time, there was a little incident with the escort convoy.

There was a gang-like organization that coveted their squad's nuclear core guns. They first proposed a trade, but after being rejected, the organization's boss arranged for his men to join the Black Panther and Dawn Hunters squads, intending to work from within and seize the research results of the nuclear core guns for themselves.

As a result, none of these escaped Sun Yi's perception. They came up with a plan, taking advantage of the situation to cripple the organization and empty their warehouses, rescuing some ordinary people and ability users who were under control.

The team was forced to expand again, but luckily when they met a survivor base halfway through, some survivors chose to stay. In the end, only over 100 people reached the capital base, along with the entire escort squad, forming a team of 200. Ordinary squads wouldn't dare provoke them.

"Captain, the entrance to the capital base is just ahead. There are quite a few survivors lined up."

Sun Wang had already scouted the area and returned to report to the team leader.

"I have contacted the capital base, they will send someone to pick us up."

With steady wings, he spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

"When you talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives!"

The warhound sniffed the air, and all eyes turned to the military jeep armored with protective steel plates as it drove up.

A Jeep screeched to a halt in front of them. A man and a woman, both dressed in black combat uniforms and wearing sunglasses, emerged from the vehicle and approached Eagle Wing one after the other.

"Quite pretentious."

Sun Wang muttered under his breath, then was hit on the head by his own elder sister.

What are you talking about Do you think people can't hear you

Wu Lianyi smiled sweetly and said.

Sun Wangtao smiled politely at his older sister, then scratched the back of his head and moved to sit beside Wu Lianyi.

"You're making me hungry!"

""

"But you're right, if we weren't being chased by zombies all the way here, we could have made a grand entrance."

Everyone: So you were the one who said the other side could hear!

Though the two people stood before the Eagle Wing, their gazes through their sunglasses swept towards Wu Lianyi and Sun Wang.

"My subordinates were just joking, please don't mind!"

Eagle Wing said faintly.

After the other party had taken the initiative to salute, one of the women spoke up:

"Welcome to the Capital Base! You've worked hard on your journey. Please come with us first. Your accommodations are already arranged. Have a rest, and we'll have a small gathering for dinner tonight to reward you."

"Okay, thank you."

The eagle wings did not refuse, this journey has indeed been tiring.

Because they had soldiers leading the way, the group took a special passage. The queuing survivors looked on with envy, wondering who these mysterious figures were.

The capital's detection system was very advanced. Passing through an instrument similar to a security gate could determine whether someone was infected with the zombie virus. An hour later, they successfully moved into a six-story apartment building, with two people per room, each with a bathroom and toilet. It was considered a pretty good living environment.

Everybody took a hot and relaxing bath, then slept soundly before heading out to attend the evening party.

I wonder what delicious food they've prepared.

Sun Wang was a little excited, rubbing his hands together and leaning close to his two elder sisters, whispering softly.

"It definitely won't be too bad. You just take it easy, don't let down the people from our W City base."

Sun Yi said with a headache.

"Got it!"

After the three of them entered the hall, twenty tables had already been set up around the large round table, enough to seat the entire escort. After everyone took their seats, the kitchen staff began serving the dishes.y began vomiting. Madam Lin's face lit up with joy and she immediately called a doctor to take Ripple's pulse. As expected, it was a pulse of pregnancy.Mrs. Lin was so delighted that she couldn't cont...
