Chapter 26: S-Rank Mission

    

tition for the position of crown princess. This was also a way to make her intentions clear to the officials, after all, she was neither the eldest daughter nor a legitimate daughter, and she had no c...After communicating via satellite phone, the two parties decided to exchange research findings. The W City base decided to send personnel to escort a group of researchers to the capital base to learn new technologies and also to "cry poverty" and see if they could get some support.

The Black Hawk team was well-informed and immediately urged their captain to take the mission, because they had heard that level 3 zombies had already appeared around the capital base. This time, besides escorting researchers, they were going for the level 3 nuclei.

Hawk Wing and Hawk Hound, upon hearing this, were also moved. The two acted swiftly to grab the mission.

"Ripple Sister, this time we have the opportunity to go to the Capital Base, it's great!"

Sun Wang is very happy.

"What's wrong Is your uncle's family here again, asking for money from you and your sister"

Wu Lianyi, sipping her coffee,難得 asked about Sun Wang's private life.

"Well! They kicked us out before, but now that they know our siblings have abilities and joined the military's special forces as superhumans, they immediately want to get close to us."

My sister didn't bother with them. Last time, she just came to the airbase with her squad directly, and they didn't dare follow. They just waited until this base had a fence, then they rushed over again impatiently.

Son Wang said it lightly.

"These bloodsucking leeches are really annoying, this is the special forces base and they can't come in either. Don't go wandering around for nothing, just so they don't latch onto you."

"Don't worry, Lianyi! My sister and I aren't afraid of them. We just don't want to bother with them."

"Sometimes public opinion can push people into an abyss. Be careful."

Wu Lianyi reminded.

"Understood! So for this mission, I told my older sister that I'm going to participate in everything. Let's see how they try to stop me now."

Sun Wang frowned, saying that he was apparently quite displeased with his uncle's family.

As the two were talking, Sun Yi walked over with a smile.

"Ripple, Xiaowang, now go to the war room!"

"Sis, what's going on"

Sun Wang immediately stood up and asked.

The captain took on this escort mission because it was an S-rank task, so a deployment meeting had to be held.

Sun Wang's face lit up with joy after hearing this, and he ran out first. Lian Yi and Sun Yi followed behind.

After ten days of preparation, the escort team set off today.

The escort team consisted of three researchers, a Black Hawk special forces unit and an extraordinary combat unit from the military, as well as two well-known corpse retrieval teams: the Black Panther Corpse Retrieval Team and the Sunrise Corpse Retrieval Team.

The entire escort team consisted of over a hundred people, besides the three researchers, it could be said that all were soldiers, giving the three researchers a sense of security.

On the first day of their departure, the imposing convoy, aside from a brief stop for rest, spent the remaining time driving at full speed. The surrounding area of W city had been mostly cleared, but the situation on the road to the capital base across provinces was unknown. Naturally, they would drive as much as possible to make up for lost time.

For five consecutive days, things went smoothly thanks to the excellent teamwork of the three researchers, which eased their workload considerably. On the sixth day, Sun Yi called a halt to the entire team.

"Eagle-eye, what discoveries have you made"

The voice of the Eagle Mastiff came through the walkie-talkie.

One more day's travel, and we will enter the territory of a band of apocalyptic fanatics. They are waiting to devour our entire squad.

Sun Yi didn't conceal anything and reported her sensed situation to the squad.

“The Madman of the Apocalypse” are four words specifically given to those who, with the arrival of the apocalypse, recklessly unleash their evil side. They derive great pleasure from the collapse of order, believing it to be their opportunity. As long as they are powerful enough, they believe all resources will be theirs for the taking.

The special forces unit has encountered such individuals before, though most of them hid in remote locations. This group planning to devour them is the first they've met, and it's obvious to anyone with eyes that they are not an ordinary squad.

"I'll have someone go scout the situation first. Everyone else should head to the nearby resort for a break."

Eaglewing issued orders directly through the radio to each captain.

Over fifty cars immediately turned around and went to a nearby resort. It was called a resort, but it was actually just a guesthouse. Luckily, all the houses were intact.

After traveling for so long, everyone was indeed quite tired. When the three researchers heard this news, they also let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that they were being overly sentimental; the journey had been bumpy and tough, and their bodies had taken a toll.

Three researchers, two men and one woman, focused on developing brain regions. That's why they achieved such results in less than two years. This is also related to Wu Lianyi's earlier revelation about the function of the crystal core.

At this time, Wu Lianyi was looking over the map of the nearby area. If her memory served her correctly, this "Madman at the End of Days" squad was the organization that later teamed up with Yunrou to cause havoc.

They haven't developed yet, but in their past life, they became a force capable of rivaling major bases. They originated by plundering and accumulating resources, so their rise to prominence wasn't particularly glorious.

But because there were high-level superhuman beings among them, they were not wiped out. Instead, they teamed up with Yun Rou in the later stages, contributing to the destruction of the small world. This time, Wu Lian Yi decided to crush this force in its cradle.

"Ripple Sister, Hawk-Eye and I will go scout the situation."

Sun Wang greeted his two elder sisters and then set off to gather information.

In the evening, the resort's indigenous people, a flock of mutated chickens and ducks, returned from foraging to find their territory occupied. They immediately bristled and attacked, but ultimately ended up as someone's dinner.

Mutated animals are edible, and this is one of the pieces of information released by the base researchers. Because of the animal mutations, their size has also increased, and the energy contained within them is very abundant. For those with abilities, it's a good thing.

Everyone had gritted their teeth and finally went to rest. Only patrolling personnel remained at the resort. At a little past four in the morning, Sun Wang and Hawk-Eye returned to the resort, but both of them looked unwell.

They probably numbered around one hundred and fifty, with about ten percent being possessors of abilities. Furthermore, they had set up traps along the path into L City to ambush passing convoys and scavenging teams.

They also captured many women and children. The women were kept for their pleasure, while the children were considered a reserve food supply.

The rest of what he had to say Sun Wang simply couldn't bring himself to utter, his face growing paler and paler. What he saw at that moment truly shattered his worldview; it made him feel that these people could no longer be called human, but rather a pack of utterly ruthless beasts!

Hawkeye, meanwhile, remained calm and collected. He continued,

Their people were divided into two groups. One group set an ambush at the entrance of L city, while the other group was stationed at the main base camp. The two locations were very close, so if one side encountered a problem, the other side could provide timely support.

Everything else is fine, but there's someone with abilities similar to mine among their mutants. He must be the one who discovered our caravan. Eagle and I were afraid of causing a stir, so we didn't dare go any deeper. We just roughly checked the number of people and hurried back.n the phone was very polite and immediately began to look into it. Within three minutes, they gave me the answer."Master Wu, the two of you received missions that aren't the same. They just happen to...
