Jing Shan was in a very good mood at this time. He felt that he had finally begun to experience the interesting and intricate design of this variety show. Ever since he stopped focusing all his attention on Zheng You, his mind had become much clearer.
He found that Zhou Guang’s a.n.a.lysis and reasoning were very accurate and he was a very reliable teammate in this kind of game. Even a playboy like Li Xuan was not particularly annoying. On the contrary, he was a very loyal friend.
Cheng Nan and the others quickly found Zheng You and the others following the sound of their conversation. When Zheng You saw them coming over, she was shocked. She did not know if they had successfully killed Bai Lin, but she did not see Yan Ruo. She did not dare to ask directly and alert the others, so she could only suppress her doubts and ask some normal questions.
When she heard Cheng Nan say “Bai Lin went upstairs alone with Yan Ruo and locked us on the first floor”, Zhou Guang looked over.
He had changed his usual gentle and kind image, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
He knew his sister and his good friend of many years very well. Bai Lin and Yan Ruo were not people who did not know their limits and liked to mess around. They must have their own considerations for leaving them behind.
Zhou Guang pulled Li Xuan over and vigilantly glanced at Cheng Nan and the others who were talking to Zheng You. Li Xuan understood what he meant and kept his guard up.
Zhou Guang was originally skeptical about the ident.i.ty of these people as researchers. He did not think that the production team would put the NPCs waiting to be rescued at the entrance where they could run out at any time. Even if it was a hidden mission, the researchers waiting for rescue should be hiding deep inside the laboratory.
This illogical abnormality and Bai Lin’s att.i.tude toward these people forced him to be on guard.
However, Zheng You did not discuss with the others and directly agreed to add the four researchers into the team.
“But isn’t it too dangerous that we don’t know where Bai Lin and Best Actor Yan are?” Ye Xing said carefully.
She had seen Bai Lin and Yan Ruo’s skills and bravery with her own eyes. She was also very clear that the rest of them would probably have to run away if they saw a zombie with their skills.
Zheng You glared at her. She did not want Bai Lin to return to this group, but she was also worried about Yan Ruo.
Even though she wanted Bai Lin to die, she did not want Yan Ruo to get hurt or meet with an accident.
“How about this? We’ll go find them first and then come back to investigate together. Miss Cheng Nan,” Zheng You said with a smile, “Can you point us to the place where you were separated from them just now?
“They locked the door. If you don’t have the key, it might be hard to find them.” Cheng Nan was telling the truth. It was not difficult to unlock the door, but they did not dare to reveal their ident.i.ties.
“Who are you looking for? Me?” Bai Lin suddenly appeared outside the door and asked loudly.
“Xiao Lin! You guys are back.” Zhou Guang could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them return safely.
“Did you encounter any zombies, San-ge?” Bai Lin glanced at the researchers and asked Zhou Guang directly.
“We saw one from afar. Fortunately, Ye Xing was smart and we noticed it in advance, so we managed to avoid it.” Zhou Guang looked at the laboratory next to him. “There seems to be some research on zombies in this laboratory. We’re going in to see if there are any useful clues.”
“I’m looking for some suitable weapons. Let’s search together.” Bai Lin was the first to enter the lab. It seemed like they had studied zombies here before. They had subdued a zombie here and a.n.a.lyzed its characteristics.
According to the experiment report, the back of the head was the zombie’s weakness. They communicated with each other by emitting a scent that contained pheromones. At the same time, they could also find humans or animals by sniffing.
Therefore, most of the mutated animals here were actually eaten by the zombies, but they were afraid of the smell of plants. This meant that they, the humans, could collect some mutated plant juice and apply it on themselves to drive away the zombies.
“We didn’t find any mutated animals on the way. Is it because they’ve been eaten by the zombies like a buffet?” Li Xuan asked.
“It’s not only the animals. The humans might’ve been eaten by the zombies as well. It’s written here that the zombie virus doesn’t spread through saliva, blood) or air,” Bai Lin explained to him, “Then it’s very likely that contacting the zombie virus is through manual injections. In other words, someone in this research inst.i.tute once produced a large number of zombies for research.”
Bai Lin picked up the report and looked at Cheng Nan.. “Am I right?”
