236 A Rescue Mission In H-City
Three days later.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
The excavation work was almost half-done.
On the human side of things, Wang Ran found another 30 excavators, bringing their total to more than 50 excavators.
Work was progressing well.
On the other side, Thirteen was leading a few hundred Mutated Zombies and using the most primitive of tools and shovels to dig.
Since these zombies were superhuman, they were not far behind the progress of the excavators.
The Tank Zombies were powerful and used massive wedges like doors as shovels.
Thirteen’s only regret was the inability of the regular zombies. They were too fragile, and their motor controls were hopeless. They would only end up falling into the holes they struggle to make.
He would have to delegate them to lighter chores.
While the excavation was going on, the first batch of baffle plates from the factory arrived at the construction site.
Wu Jianguo led thousands of survivors and got to work.
After the boards were assembled, they only needed to fill the middle with sand, and a section of the solid wall would stand ready.
Assembling the barriers required a bit of skill, and even more manpower to operate.
The simpler task of filling the soil was naturally left to the zombies.
Wang Ran would come to inspect the construction site twice a day.
Ada could help him break through, but Wang Ran still couldn’t bear to put her through it.
Previously, Ada’s body had suddenly shrunk because she had exerted herself too much.
‘Sigh, it’s so hard to be a man.’
As Wang Ran patrolled the construction site where the zombies were, Thirteen came over.
“Boss, I have something to ask.
“It concerns Butler, whom you handed over to me… What do you plan to do with him?” Thirteen asked, scratching his head.
Wang Ran had never brought him up again. It had left Thirteen a little unsure.
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that guy…
“What’s his condition now?” Wang Ran asked.
“Didn’t you ask me to turn him into a zombie?
“I’ve locked him in a cage and set 100 zombies each day to take turns…
“He doesn’t look pleased. He looks like he has nothing to live for,” Thirteen replied.
“What, wait a minute…
“I remember telling you to turn him into a zombie.
“But that part about the 100 zombies… did I say that?”
Wang Ran was a little confused.
This was tragic!
He was starting to feel a little sympathetic for Butler.
“Hey, I remember you saying that if any of your people got hurt, you would set 100 zombies upon him.
“You see, I broke a nail in the last battle.”
Thirteen extended his hand in front of Wang Ran.
Wang Ran’s face twitched.
‘I was referring to my girls!
‘What does it have to do with you?!
‘Sigh, forget it, forget it, it’s already been done…’
“Uh, call off the zombies?
“Give him something to eat and let him recover.
“We still need him to point us to their bases,” Wang Ran said, as he patted Thirteen’s shoulder.
“Alright, I got it!”
Thirteen nodded.
If this continued, not only Butler fall apart, but his 100 underlings would probably fall apart too.
At that moment, a phone call came in.
“Wang Ran! It’s me!
“Come back quickly!
“I can’t explain it over the phone.”
Liu Shiyao’s voice rang out.
“Jiaxin, return to the base,” Wang Ran quickly ordered.
Wu Jiaxin nodded and immediately got ready to pull up.
“Whoa, I thought it was the cyclic stick…”
Wang Ran’s face twitched.
“Ah, I’m sorry, it felt the same!”
Wu Jiaxin blushed and immediately adjusted the position of her hand.
Soon, the Black Hawl landed in Eastlake Island.
Liu Shiyao was already waiting on the tarmac.
“Why are you so frantic? Did the greenhouse collapse?” Wang Ran asked.
“It’s not about that!
“The government sent a team over to retrieve the vaccine and medicine I developed.
“They had some issues and stopped at the airport of H-City. Now, they’re surrounded by zombies.
“The government is very far from H-City. It’ll take a long time for them to send help…
“Wang Ran, why don’t we go and help them?
“After all, they came for me. I’ll feel bad if they’re sacrificed,” Liu Shiyao said, while begging him.
“How about this? Take your completed products and come with me to H-City.
“We can rescue them while getting the handover done with,” Wang Ran said, after thinking for a while.
“Okay, I’ll get packing!”
Liu Shiyao immediately ran to the laboratory.
Soon, Liu Shiyao ran over with a small box.
“Jiaxin, do you have enough fuel for a trip to H-City?” Wang Ran asked.
“We do.
“But we’ll have to refuel at the airport in H-City,” Wu Jiaxin replied.
“Hey, are you guys heading out?
“Bring me along!”
Lu Shuangshuang, who was passing by, rushed over.
When she found out that the newcomer Zhou Meng had already done it… Lu Shuangshuang felt a little uncomfortable.
Were her legs not long enough, or was her waist not thin enough?
She had been here for so long, but Wang Ran never touched her…
This was too much!
When she learned that Wang Ran was about to leave, Lu Shuangshuang took the initiative to join the group.
Wang Ran had no reason to refuse a volunteer.
The Black Hawk helicopter took Wang Ran and the other three to H-City.
During the flight, Liu Shiyao and Wang Ran began to have an in-depth discussion.
Lu Shuangshuang’s face and ears turned red as she listened from the front passenger seat.
She glanced at Wu Jiaxin, who was beside her.
She had to admit that this girl was truly exquisite. She would definitely be the campus Belle, if she were in college.
Her legs were not only long, but also fair and tender.
It was unlike the case for her…
Her legs were long, but her skin was tanned.
That Wang Ran…
‘He must love long, fair legs. Hmph!’
“Lu, I know what you are thinking.” Wu Jiaxin, who was flying the plane, suddenly spoke up.
“What? What do you…”
Lu Shuangshuang panicked.
Had she been seen through?
“Out of all the girls, you’re the only one who hasn’t…
“Even an idiot could guess what you’re thinking.”
Wu Jiaxin smiled.
“I…
“I can’t help it…”
Lu Shuangshuang’s face was red.
Were her thoughts so transparent now?
“Actually…
“After some digging around, I learned of a method with a high success rate.”
Wu Jiaxin smiled.
“What method???
“Jiaxin, quickly tell me!
“I’ll take over ten of your night watch shifts!”
Lu Shuangshuang quickly went up to her.
