Chapter 1087: The Infected Corpses Are All Gone?!

The discussion ultimately did not proceed, after all, not only had Facing Huo Jinglin fallen into a deep sleep, but Ning Chen and Xiao Han also displayed extremely exhausted expressions.

As someone who had not participated in the war, Lin Yi could not bring himself to do such inhuman things as dragging three exhausted people around to ask endless questions.

Ning Chen and Facing Huo Jinglin slept for a long time; at least in this recent environment where sleep was impossible, they had slept quite a lot.

Waking up, Ning Chen felt his brain was significantly duller; looking outside the vehicle, light penetrated through the cracks of the factory, slightly hazy.

This tiny bit of light made Ning Chen realize it was no longer that day, yet how long had they slept? One night? One day or two days?

He moved his body, and a crisp cracking sound came from his joints.

Getting up and walking to the door, there was no one on the sofa; Lin Yi had returned to the room to sleep in the bed he had longed for.

Opening the car door, Ning Chen stepped down; the factory, which yesterday had been strewn with corpses, was now completely empty, everything vanished, clean as if someone had swept it.

Footsteps came from behind, light yet powerful; even without speaking, Ning Chen knew the person approaching was Xiao Han.

"They're all gone?"

Looking at the clean scene before them, if not for the numbness caused by long sleep due to exhaustion, Xiao Han might have truly thought everything they experienced yesterday was a hallucination.

Ning Chen and Xiao Han checked the entire factory, leaving not even a corner unsearched.

Yet there was not a single corpse of an infected person in the whole factory, only traces of their existence.

Such as the seat on the high platform built from stacked tables, such as the claw marks on the boxes and walls.

However, hundreds of infected suddenly disappearing collectively was enough to leave one utterly baffled.

Not to mention they were all motionless corpses.

The inspection was complete; Ning Chen decided to return to the car and discuss the situation with everyone, for such terrifying and baffling matters could not be analyzed with conventional thinking.

Back in the car, Gu Yanqi was already busy in the kitchen making breakfast; Facing Huo Jinglin, fully dressed, sat on the sofa looking very energetic, indicating he had rested well; as for Lin Yi, he was biting his toothbrush, half-closing his eyes while leaning against the room doorframe, unsure if he had fallen asleep.

Seeing the two return, Facing Huo Jinglin showed a puzzled expression, obviously wanting to know what they were going to do.

For Ning Chen, who had spent a long time getting along with Facing Huo Jinglin and Lin Yi, he could roughly understand what the other was thinking just from their eyes and expressions.

Ning Chen was just about to speak and tell Facing Huo Jinglin the results of the recent investigation when Xiao Han spoke first.

"The infected outside are gone."

Ning Chen glanced at Xiao Han and swallowed his intended words; since someone was willing to explain, he did not need to waste more effort, otherwise it would be troublesome.

"Gone?! All three hundred-plus infected we killed are gone?!" Facing Huo Jinglin was so shocked he almost spat out the tea in his mouth; even so, forcing himself to swallow made him cough after finishing his sentence.

"Cough, cough, cough, I, cough, cough."

Hearing Facing Huo Jinglin cough as if he had tuberculosis, appearing to cough up his internal organs, Lin Yi, who had been dozing while leaning against the doorframe, instantly woke up.

Ignoring the toothbrush still in his mouth, he rushed to Facing Huo Jinglin's front and patted his back.

"Are you okay? Is it serious?"
