Chapter 1080: Learning the Woman's Purpose

After finishing the dishes, Lin Yi used the excuse of selecting ingredients to enter the warehouse with the woman.

Seeing the two enter the warehouse, Ning Chen and Xiao Han instantly rose, exchanged a glance, and separately entered Gu Yanqi's and Facing Huo Jinglin's rooms.

Gu Yanqi, who had been reading and basking in the sun in her room, was momentarily surprised to see Ning Chen enter, then quickly rose, closed the door, and locked it tight.

She had not missed Ning Chen's slightly gloomy expression; Ning Chen would not usually burst in without saying a word, so something must have happened.

"Brother Ning, what happened?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman is likely about to make a move; remember to be careful."

Hearing this news, Gu Yanqi sat up, her expression turning serious: "Ah? Then maybe I should find an excuse to stay in my room."

Gu Yanqi had a very accurate sense of her own position; she understood that even if she were outside, she couldn't help at all and might only cause trouble.

Ning Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Mm, that works too; when I return, I'll add a protective shield here for you."

"In a while, just say you're sick and rest in your room today; I'll bring you lunch and dinner when I return."

After giving instructions, Ning Chen walked out, and just then, Lin Yi and the woman walked out together.

Seeing Ning Chen emerge from Gu Yanqi's room, the woman made no special expression, after all, the rumored relationship between Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi was well known.

However, if they were to learn that Xiao Han and Facing Huo Jinglin were in the same room, there would certainly be a problem.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen deliberately spoke loudly: "Didn't you two go to get ingredients? Where are the ingredients?"

Inside the room, Xiao Han and Facing Huo Jinglin naturally heard this voice; Xiao Han hadn't expected Lin Yi's conversation with the woman to end so quickly.

If he went out like this now, the situation would be extremely unfavorable.

Xiao Han and Facing Huo Jinglin exchanged a glance and decisively reached an agreement.

"You rage monster, what do you mean?"

"What do you think I mean, you cleanliness freak? On what grounds did you throw away my clothes?"

"Your clothes? I thought they were rags. What, are you going to argue with me over mere clothes?"

"What, you don't want to argue but want to fight?"

The sound of the two arguing immediately erupted; Lin Yi thought of something, his face changed, and he hurriedly went to knock on the door.

"Hey, I said stop arguing!"

The door was猛地 opened, revealing Xiao Han and Facing Huo Jinglin with very bad expressions.

Xiao Han even snapped at Lin Yi: "What does it have to do with you? You fence-sitter!"

After speaking, Xiao Han passed by Lin Yi and left, heading to sit in the front passenger seat, while the door was slammed shut by Facing Huo Jinglin with a gloomy face, "Bang!"

Being spoken to this way, Lin Yi appropriately showed an expression of shame.

As for Ning Chen, he simply stood nearby watching, neither trying to mediate nor comfort Lin Yi, wearing an air of superiority.

At least, that was how it appeared in the woman's eyes.

With this commotion, the relationships between the several people appeared completely fractured in the woman's eyes.

While comforting Lin Yi, she was thinking about how to begin her breakthrough.

And Lin Yi was thinking about how to communicate with Brother Ning and the others.

Just now, the woman had told him a very important piece of news: there really is a high-level zombie in this city.

The woman's team had actually been attacked by this high-level zombie, but the high-level zombie did nothing to her; instead, he kept her, demanding she accompany him every day and listen to her flatter him.

The turning point came on the day they arrived; the high-level zombie hadn't expected so many ability users in that vehicle, so to eliminate them, the high-level zombie sent the woman out to lure them.

The goal was to lure the few people into the zombie's lair and annihilate the ability users in one stroke.

Of course, it wasn't just about fighting; at that time, the high-level zombie gave her a bottle of stupefying incense; if dropped into a drink, it would cause unconsciousness and immobility.

The woman could guarantee Lin Yi's survival, after all, Lin Yi was not an ability user, and with the high-level zombie's protection, other zombies wouldn't do anything to them.

And Lin Yi had to help her, putting the stupefying incense into the water, then driving into the zombie's lair.

Lin Yi showed no expression on his face, but internally he was utterly shocked, a hundred "what the f***s" couldn't describe it.

Now this zombie even plays at raising pets? Actually keeping a human for his own use.

It seems they had previously underestimated the capabilities of this high-level zombie.

This is a major matter; Lin Yi glanced at the woman, so, what excuse should he use to separate from her first?

Obviously, the size of the RV is only this big, and they are not familiar with each other; if he just went to find one of them, it would be too abrupt.

After much thought, Lin Yi decided to write it down.

Taking advantage of the woman going to the bathroom to bathe, he took out paper and pen and quickly wrote a passage.

【A high-level zombie has ordered it; the woman has poison on her, to be dropped into water; the zombie has a lair; the woman's task is to stupefy everyone and lead them into the zombie's lair for annihilation in one stroke.】

After finishing, Lin Yi quickly approached Ning Chen's side, handed the note to Ning Chen, then quickly left and sat back on the sofa.

This passage contained everything; Ning Chen glanced at it, crumpled the note into a ball, and tossed it to Xiao Han.

After reading the note, Xiao Han raised an eyebrow, nodded to indicate understanding, then returned the note to Ning Chen.

At this moment, the woman also walked out, wiping her hair.

Ning Chen glanced at her subtly and precisely spotted the small bag the woman never parted with.

Presumably, that poison should be inside it.

Ning Chen rose, then walked toward Gu Yanqi's room, but he did not enter Gu Yanqi's room first; instead, he first knocked on Facing Huo Jinglin's door.

Facing Huo Jinglin opened the door, saw it was Ning Chen, showed surprise in his eyes for a moment, then asked in a low voice: "Something wrong?"

Ning Chen leaned his body to block the woman's line of sight, extended his hand, and a note appeared.

"Ah, you and Xiao Han, stop being so confrontational; why do you both have such tempers?"

Facing Huo Jinglin took the note, still acting on his part: "Tsk, he started it first; fine, if there's nothing else, don't come looking for me, I don't want to hear it."

The door was closed; Ning Chen paused, then opened the door on the left and walked in.

"Brother Ning." Gu Yanqi had now grown accustomed to Ning Chen's sudden entrances.

"Mm, just now Lin Yi slipped me a note. That woman has been in contact with a high-level sentient zombie, and she's carrying a knockout drug the other party gave her—one meant to be slipped into our water to drug us so they could wipe us out in one strike."
