Chapter 1231: Western District Military Base

That eerie 'person' came sprinting toward them; Ning Chen frowned but made no move.

They saw the other party arrive before the car and directly extend a hand.

Ning Chen, with sharp eyes, saw that a strange black-purple light emanated from the other's fist.

Just as the other was about to bring the fist down, Ning Chen decisively reversed the car, putting a wide distance between them and the other.

They saw that, due to inertia, that 'person' smashed directly into the ground, instantly creating a large hole in the earth.

Gu Yanqi exclaimed in shock: "Is this a special ability? Do they have special abilities?!"

Ning Chen also felt somewhat surprised, but these abilities seemed to reveal a strange sensation.

They saw that when that 'person' saw the first attack fail, he ran toward them again; yes, he ran.

These 'people' were in no way like the infected; his running posture was the same as a normal person's, except his eyes were utterly hollow.

Ning Chen looked at the other, then extended his hand and instantly released his ability.

The power of light surrounded the other's body and began to attack desperately.

Suddenly, a piercing sound came to his ears; that 'person' was actually screaming there, and before long, that 'person' slowly fell down, and his entire body began to rot.

Ning Chen frowned; this was definitely not a real human, as real humans would not act this way, but what exactly were these things?

"Ning, Ning-ge, he isn't an infected one, is he?" Gu Yanqi was frightened by the scream just now.

The infected feel no pain; at the same time, they only roar and do not scream.

Ning Chen nodded: "Mm, but they are not humans either."

Having said that, Ning Chen started the car and continued forward.

The drive afterward was much easier; at least they did not encounter those strange 'people' again.

The car stopped before a building; this should be the Western District Military Base, much like their Eastern District.

On the outermost gate was a logo very similar to the Eastern District's, except the colors were black and white.

From here on, driving was no longer possible; they could only enter on foot.

Noah had said that the protection switch for the entire Eastern District Base was in the control room, and the control room was probably in this very area before them; they had to go in and explore.

The mission for this entry was not solely to save Mu Xinruan's older brother, but also to check whether there was any reaction from the fragments here.

And this place gave Ning Chen a very strange feeling; this strangeness was not a danger alarm, but more like an attraction.

Ning Chen used his ability to explore the surroundings, and after ensuring there was no danger nearby, he got out of the car.

Looking at the various buildings inside the military base before him, Ning Chen sighed; it seemed this would be a very vast search process.

Ning Chen checked the time; from entry until now, an hour had already passed, leaving them only two hours to explore.

"Ning-ge, should we go in?" Lin Yi, having just gotten out of the car, instantly understood Ning Chen's thoughts.

Ning Chen nodded; Lin Yi hesitated and said: "Ning-ge, why not leave the three girls behind? We don't know the situation inside; what if there is some danger?"

"No way, I'm going with you!" Upon hearing Lin Yi say they should leave the girls behind, Gu Yanqi immediately hugged Ning Chen's arm.

And Mu Xinruan and Lin Xiaoling, who had just gotten out of the car, also disagreed.

Ning Chen thought for a moment and said: "We all go together; the car isn't safe either, and together we can look out for one another."

Thinking of that thing that had suddenly appeared just now, Lin Yi nodded and agreed.

Indeed, if that thing came again in a while and they weren't there, aside from Sister Yanqi having combat ability, the other two would probably be killed instantly.

The entire military base was extremely quiet; Ning Chen led the three people quickly shuttling through each floor of each building.

Their time was limited; they tried to check every room on every floor of every building.

In the entire military base, the center was a very large open space; buildings stood on both sides of the open space, and at the far end of the open space was a very large building, which should be the main building of the entire military base.

Ning Chen led the group starting from the buildings on the right to explore inward; after about an hour, they arrived before the main building.

Except for Ning Chen, the others were almost all panting.

They had been running and climbing floors nonstop following Ning Chen, and by now they were utterly exhausted.

Actually, Gu Yanqi was a bit better off because whenever she was nearly exhausted, Ning Chen was pulling her, and even the stairs were climbed with Ning Chen carrying her; this once made the three suspect they were showing off their affection.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Xiaoling still said to Ning Chen, who was about to step into the main building: "Captain Ning, let us rest for a while; we are too tired, really need to stop moving."

At this moment, Lin Yi did not contradict Lin Xiaoling's words but nodded desperately.

That's right, that's right; it was really too tiring, almost feeling like dying.

Ning Chen looked at Lin Xiaoling and Mu Xinruan, then at Lin Yi, who was already sitting on the steps regardless of appearance; Ning Chen nodded and agreed to the proposal to rest.
