After healing Lin Yi, Ning Chen looked at the person lying on the ground.

Several of that person's bones were broken, but fortunately there was no major injury; he had simply been buried on the ground for too long, and the thin air combined with a lack of water had led to oxygen deprivation and dehydration.

"Give him some water first," Ning Chen said, looking at the two standing by the car and giving orders.

Lin Xiaoling instinctively went to the car to get a bottle of water, came to the other person's side, and fed it to him little by little.

Afterwards, Ning Chen extended his hand, and golden light surrounded the man.

Ning Chen could do nothing about the broken ribs; that had to be left to Xiao Han, but he could repair some of his internal injuries, at least to make him feel a bit better.

Once things were mostly settled, Ning Chen withdrew his hand and had Lin Yi lift the man onto the car to lie down.

"Brother Ning, what do we do now?" Lin Yi felt a warm current surging through his whole body, and his spirit was in excellent shape.

"Wait for him to wake up, then ask him what's going on."

The few of them sat quietly in the car, waiting for the man to wake up.

About fifteen minutes passed, the man moved his eyes and woke up; seeing the unfamiliar living environment, he spoke out in confusion: "Where is this?"

Seeing the man awake, Lin Yi hurriedly looked over and said: "This is inside our car. What's the situation here? Why were you buried underneath?"

The man, just having woken up, still felt a bit dazed; he stared blankly at Lin Yi and said not a word.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled and said: "Brother Ning, what do you think? Could he be stupid?"

Ning Chen looked at the other person, saw that his eyes were clear, and it was obvious he was not stupid, so he shook his head: "He's not stupid."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Mu Xinruan quickly rushed to the man's face: "Where is my brother?"

The man clearly knew Mu Xinruan; he looked at the woman before him in astonishment: "Why has Young Lady Mu come? Captain Mu and the others should have gone deeper inside; I'm not clear on the situation either. When I was slapped underneath by the infected, the fighting above was in full chaos."

The man's disjointed words made Lin Yi's heart itch with curiosity.

"What exactly happened here?"

The man also understood that these few people before him had saved him, so he laid out the entire situation here.

They had come to investigate the anomalies at the West District Base, and when they entered, they found that aside from their eyes being a bit strange, the people there were otherwise normal, with nothing at all amiss.

After inspection, they discovered a problem with the signal transmitter in the West District; after they finished repairing the signal transmitter, they were originally going to leave, but Captain Mu noticed something was wrong.

He encountered an old friend, but the other person not only did not recognize him, but could only do one thing, like a program that had been activated.

And through inquiries, many people here had this symptom; they were all utterly dazed, as if they had no ability to think for themselves. Only a small portion of people possessed the ability to think.

They felt something was wrong, so they took this small group of people and planned to transfer, at least returning to the East District Base first.

But when they reached the main gate, everything changed; those seemingly normal humans suddenly went berserk, charging up one after another; moreover, many of them possessed abilities.

Those people were each incredibly strong, and their movements were very agile; fortunately, their speed was not very fast.

However, at this moment, Captain Mu realized that the West District's highest protection system had been activated, which meant they could not get out at all.

So Captain Mu led them, planning to find a way out from somewhere else.

It was during the process of finding the way that they were attacked; it could be called a surprise attack. He wasn't paying enough attention and was slapped underneath a building by those not-human-not-ghost things.

This also explained why there was such a great height at the ruins where the other party appeared.

After listening to the man's words, Ning Chen's face showed no expression; instead, he started the car and drove deeper inside.

Just as the man said, the main gate was sealed off; the only remaining possibility was that they would go deeper, at least they would go to find the switch to shut down this system.

The car moved silently along the street; the eerie silence made everyone fall quiet.

Ning Chen looked ahead and released his ability to explore the surroundings.

"Boom—" A sudden loud crash came from the car roof; Ning Chen clearly felt something land on their car roof.

As seen, a moment later, a strange human face appeared at the windshield in front of the car.

The human face revealed a gloomy smile.

"Brother, Brother Ning, what is this?!" Gu Yanqi, sitting in the passenger seat, widened her eyes.

The thing before them was clearly human, but humans would never use such an unimaginable action to crawl on their car and look at them.

Ning Chen slammed on the brakes; the 'person' in front immediately flew out, at least one or two hundred meters away.

As seen, the 'person' not far ahead first got up shakily, then walked toward them again.

Ning Chen looked at the other party; it seemed this must be those strange 'people' the injured person on the car had spoken of.
