Chapter 246 The Vanished Wei Kingdom
Chapter 246 The Vanished Wei Kingdom
For no apparent reason, Weiguo had a strange feeling about this patrol mission, which was simply unbelievable for an AI. If it were a human, it could easily tell everyone that it lacked confidence in the mission and had a bad feeling, but how could an AI describe this problem?
AI is a black-and-white system; its world consists only of yes or no, do or don't, and there has never been any ambiguous answer.
"Boss Weiguo, we've been walking for so long and haven't seen any zombies yet." Zhang Qi couldn't help but ask. They had been in the community for more than ten minutes. He was very familiar with Yingcai Community, as he used to live there. Although it was not small, they should be able to walk from the entrance to the center of the community in ten minutes.
“Something feels strange.” Just as Wei Guo was about to speak, Jin Qiao’er spoke up for him.
“It doesn’t look like there are any zombies around here.” The female officer in Jin Qiao’er’s team spoke up. Her voice was cold and clear. Perhaps because she was about to become an eighth-level ability user, she was actually the strongest fighter in the team. As soon as she spoke, her aura overwhelmed everyone.
"Won't someone else have arrived ahead of time?" Zhang Qi was horrified when he heard the female officer's words. If this place was cleared out, then their trip would have been in vain. Next time, they would have to queue up in Wei Guo's line, and who knew when they would get to draw lots again.
“Most of the people in G City are already at our base, so it’s unlikely.” Zhang Yan shook his head and looked around again.
“But there is really no sign of zombies here.” The female officer frowned. She was usually very sensitive to zombies, especially high-level zombies. If they were in the same environment, she could almost immediately detect them and make a simple assessment of the difference in combat strength between the two sides.
"Sister Lin, can't you feel anything?" Jin Qiao'er looked at the female officer. They were in the same unit, so she knew very well the advantages of female officers.
"You can sense the presence of zombies?" Upon hearing their conversation, Brother Cai turned to look at the female officer. He had heard of this before; some psychic ability users possessed this ability.
"I'm not a psychic, it's probably because I'm close to level eight that my agility has improved," Sister Lin guessed Brother Cai's thoughts and shook her head in reply.
“If there are no zombies, it’s probably because a new superhuman has arrived in G City.” Wei Guo said as he recorded the situation and uploaded it to the base’s central control center.
"In a small city like ours, there aren't even enough zombies to feed us, so how come there are superhumans here?" Zhang Qi seemed to have now confirmed that there were no zombies here, and he relaxed completely, making a self-deprecating remark.
"Stay alert!" As soon as Brother Cai finished speaking, a withered hand sprang out from the snow beneath Zhang Qi's feet. The hand gripped Zhang Qi's ankle tightly, and then a small flame ignited from the sole of Zhang Qi's foot.
"Holy crap!" Zhang Qi screamed in fright. Although he was a fire-type ability user, it didn't mean he wasn't afraid of fire. The burning sensation under his feet made it clear that the fire was more powerful than his own. This was probably what Brother Cai and the others meant by the level suppression.
"Save him!" As soon as Wei Guo spoke, a water snake darted out from behind Jin Qiao'er and pounced on Zhang Qi, drenching him completely. However, the flames were not completely extinguished, and the withered hand retreated back into the snow.
"A little more, a little more!" Zhang Qi saw that most of the fire on his body had been extinguished, but he didn't care that he was soaked and the water was gradually freezing into ice. He kept asking the water-type girl to bring more water to completely extinguish the fire under his feet.
"These zombies are so close to us, how come we didn't even notice them?" Brother Cai looked at Sister Lin with some doubt.
"I really didn't have time to feel it." Sister Lin shook her head, then added, "This isn't a level seven zombie; it's a higher level than me."
"It's too dangerous here. Let's go back to the car and head back to base." Hearing Sister Lin's words, Wei Guo realized that the current situation was different from what they had predicted. There were zombies above level seven in this area. Level seven and above, whether they were zombies or superhumans, represented a qualitative difference. Although they had several level seven superhumans, they might not be a match for this level eight fire-type zombie.
Without time to say more, the seven people and the machine didn't linger and ran back the way they came. Although they all wanted to get the high-level crystals, none of them were afraid of death.
"What a pity." Although he was afraid of dying, Zhang Qi still felt very regretful. This was a level eight fire-type crystal. If he could have obtained it, he might have become a level eight ability user.
"Stop dreaming, save your life first." Cai Ge and Zhang Yan were both very calm. They protected Zhang Qi and ran towards the car. Although Zhang Qi was only level 4, he was still a "delicious meal" for zombies of the same level.
The group had just reached the car when they realized Wei Guo hadn't followed. Cai Ge glanced back, but there was no sign of Wei Guo. They didn't want to risk going back to look for him, even though Wei Guo was a very important intelligent AI robot in the base.
"What should we do?" Jin Qiao'er asked over the walkie-talkie after the seven people got into their respective cars.
"Let's go back first. Weiguo is an AI, he should be able to figure something out on his own." After saying that, Brother Cai stepped on the gas and drove their car towards the base.
"Let's go." Sister Lin agreed with Brother Cai's decision. After all, she was made of flesh and blood, while Wei Guo was just a robot. Even if Wei Guo was powerful in the G City base, there was no reason for them to exchange their lives for a robot.
"System connected..."
At the same time, as Lu Yuan entered the airspace near the G City base, a special window popped up on his mech interface. This was a prompt he had never seen before. It lasted for less than a minute before the interface changed again.
"Matched with the system, synchronizing... 0.1%"
Upon seeing this interface, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that they had found Weiguo. After all, the mecha could not have started synchronizing its system if it hadn't been close to Weiguo.
He finally believed that Wei Guo was the exclusive system for his mecha.
The synchronization was incredibly slow, slower than a tortoise crawling. If Lu Yuan weren't currently on a starship and not worried about being attacked by zombies, he would have already gone berserk.
After leaving Gu Nanfeng and his group, Lu Yuan remained on the starship. These things are fast, so he could have reached G City quickly, but he didn't come immediately. Instead, he spent a day circling the entire Earth. This trip led him to discover a peculiar region in the United States. After discovering it, he sent the videos to Gu Nanfeng. He doesn't know the current situation at the Chinese headquarters, but he imagines it's not peaceful.
