Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse-Chapter 158: Rescue Mission 3

At dawn the next day, the door opened and Tang Cheng walked out.

Following behind him were Li San and several other researchers.

"Academician Tang." Mo Chenxuan greeted when he saw the old man.

"You are..." Tang Cheng asked with an embarrassed look.

"I am Mo Chenxuan. Team Legend’s captain.

"So it’s Captain Mo." Tang Cheng said and introduced the people behind him.

"This is Li San, my assistant. He is an expert in the field of avionics and is especially skilled in developing navigation and communication systems."

"Next to Li San is Luo Zhan, the youngest academician in our country. Academician Luo is a double expert in aerospace engineering and materials engineering."

In this way, Tang Cheng introduced several others, and Mo Chenxuan could barely suppress his excitement.

Although this research team had nothing to do with apocalypse technology, their expertise areas were a good foundation for the shift.

After suppressing his excitement, Mo Chenxuan introduced the main members of Team Legends.

"Academician Tang, has your team decided?" Qin Wu asked after the introductions were over.

"We have decided." Tang Cheng nodded and revealed the research team’s decision.

"I have to caution that the likelihood of finding relatives is extremely small." Qin Wu said and quickly continued.

"Also..." She started and sighed with a complicated expression.

"The apocalypse is too brutal, and many people don’t recognise their relatives. I am afraid that even if your researchers find their relatives, the result may not be what they hope for."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng and the others exchanged doubtful expressions.

Although the last year was difficult, they stuck together and did their best to survive.

Considering this, they felt that the world couldn’t be as dark as Team Legends described it.

"There is one more thing." Mo Chenxuan started, and everyone turned to him.

"Winter is about to end, and roads will become passable again. However, travelling from base B to other places will almost be an impossible task." He said.

"Why is that?" Li San asked.

"One, you have to find reliable escorts who are willing to go to other cities. Otherwise, going alone is asking for death." Mo Chenxuan said and continued.

"Two, the zombies are about to evolve for the second time. Even if you can find reliable escorts, the probability of making it to other cities is slim to none."

"Finally, resources. Travelling requires a lot of resources. Not only will you need food, fuel, and the fee for escorts, you will also have to prepare the supplies needed to enter the city bases"

Hearing this, Tang Cheng frowned but soon sighed before nodding.

"The priority is to go to the city B base. Everything else can wait until after we are safely there." He said.

After that, Tang Cheng led Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu inside the laboratory.

"Everyone has already packed." He said.

True to word, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu saw dozens of people waiting with their suitcases.

The people were heavily dressed and looked ready to go.

However, Qin Wu sighed before speaking.

"The roads are filled with snow and are impossible for vehicles to drive through." She started and quickly continued.

"Each of you needs to carry your essentials in a backpack. Everything else will be put in space." She said.

The researchers were surprised when they heard this.

A moment later, a brave woman looked at Qin Wu and spoke in an uncertain voice.

"Deputy Qin, how are we going to the base?" She asked, and Qin Wu smiled before answering.

"We are walking there." She said.

"Walking? Isn’t the base more than twenty kilometres away?" Someone asked in an incredulous voice.

"Didn’t you say that winter is about to end? Let’s wait until the snow thaws." Another suggested, but Qin Wu shook her head.

"We probably can’t return if we wait for the snow to thaw." She said.

"What do you mean?"

"Chenxuan and I are the most powerful ability users in the city B base, possibly the entire country. However, not even we can escape unscathed from the millions of zombies within the area between here and the base." Qin Wu explained.

"We need to take advantage of this time when the zombies are frozen to rush back to the base." Mo Chenxuan added.

Hearing this, the researchers finally understood the urgency of the situation and immediately got to work.

In no time, each prepared a small bag, and the rest of the luggage was kept with one of the researchers who had a space ability.

After the researchers left the lab, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu collected everything, including wind tunnels, vibration tables, x-ray machines, ultrasound machines, computers, and tools. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Thirty minutes later, they left the laboratory and rejoined the army.

"We will travel in a square formation." Qin Wu said and quickly continued.

"Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong will lead the front wing. Lu Hao and Lu Yanyan will be on the right, while Xiao Junxie and his deputy will be on the left. Team Eve will lead the back wing, and the researchers will be protected in the middle. Does everyone understand? " She asked.

"We got it, boss." A loud shout echoed, and Qin Wu nodded before continuing.

"Chenxuan and I will bring up the rear. We will support whichever wing needs help, so try to maintain formation at all times." She said.

Since it was already eight in the morning, the group didn’t waste time and began organising the formation.

Adding to the team members, each wing had five hundred soldiers.

In this way, the researchers were tightly protected, and all they had to do was walk without worry of being attacked.

’I hope the journey will be smooth.’ Qin Wu thought.

Unfortunately, her hope was shattered on the sixth day after leaving the research laboratory.

On this day, the army was getting ready to take a break when Mo Chenxuan suddenly frowned.

A moment later, the man flew up and rushed towards the right wing.

Simultaneously, he condensed a lightning ball and threw it barely a metre from where one of his people was standing.

"Get back." He shouted.
