Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 294 - 294 293 Questions

?Chapter 294: Chapter 293 Questions Chapter 294: Chapter 293 Questions The base was anxious, so Liao You asked Luo Ning and her group to gather at the helicopter landing site in half an hour.

Now, the number of zombies on the city streets was increasing, making driving both slow and dangerous.

Luo Ning and her group packed up some things, took some food and weapons, and set out.

Half an hour later, at the airfield, they saw Dr. Luo and several of his assistants.

To the surprise of Luo Ning and the others, there was someone among them whom they recognized.

Su Wei blinked in astonishment when he saw Luo Ning and her group.

“Luo Ning, it’s you guys?”

Luo Ning showed a surprised expression, “We didn’t expect to run into you here either.”

She asked, “Are you an assistant to Dr. Luo?”

Su Wei smiled and nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”

His face full of curiosity, he asked, “Are you also going to the laboratory?”

Luo Ning replied, “Yes, we’ve taken on a mission to go to the laboratory together.”

Liao You was also somewhat surprised that Luo Ning and her group knew Su Wei. “You know each other?”

Luo Ning didn’t hide anything. “We’ve met once before; the off-road vehicle we drive was a gift from Su Wei.”

Su Wei said with a laugh, “Luo Ning is my lifesaver.”

Then he briefly explained how he had been rescued that day.

Dr. Luo, who had been standing by like a prop, turned his gaze to Luo Ning when he heard Su Wei’s words.

He showed a grateful smile, “So it was you who saved my brother, I can’t thank you enough.”

Luo Ning’s face showed surprise again, “You’re brothers?”

She was genuinely astonished this time; the two did not share the same surname, and upon appearance, they didn’t seem to have a blood relation.

Su Wei explained, “We are a reconstituted family.”

He added, “Although we’re not brothers from the same father and mother, our feelings for each other have always been very good.”

Only then did Luo Ning’s expression of surprise fade, “I see.”

Time was tight, so Su Wei didn’t have time to catch up with Luo Ning and followed Dr. Luo onto the helicopter first.

Dr. Luo, with Su Wei and two other assistants, boarded one helicopter. Along with them were more than a dozen special forces protecting the base.

The helicopters here were all large, so each could seat thirty people; there was plenty of room.

Liao You led the others onto the helicopter that Luo Ning and her group were in.

This time, Luo Ning did not pilot the helicopter but left it to Bo Xuan, who had already learned.

Although Fan Ye and the others were eager to try, Luo Ning evidently trusted Bo Xuan more.

She sat next to Liao You, making idle conversation.

After some trivial chatter, Luo Ning asked Liao You, “Is Su Wei also a scientific research specialist in the laboratory?”

Liao You replied with a smile, “Before the apocalypse, he owned a biopharmaceutical company and is also a major shareholder of Dr. Luo’s laboratory. The assistant title is just a nominal one for now.”

Luo Ning paused, “Does that mean he’s not skilled in biopharmaceuticals?”

Liao You said, “As far as I know, his major in college was indeed biopharmaceuticals, but after graduating, he took over his family’s bio company and didn’t follow the scientific research path.”

“No wonder I thought he seemed more like a businessman,” Luo Ning laughed.

Then she exchanged glances with Bo Xuan and the others.

From this point, they could rule out some suspicions about Su Wei, but they still needed to continue observing.

Yes, when Su Wei appeared as Dr. Luo’s assistant and brother, Luo Ning and her companions immediately thought of the person they were tasked to find in their second clue mission.

It wasn’t that they had fixed on Su Wei, but they harbored some doubts about him.

After Luo Ning finished asking, Liao You also looked at her and asked, “Can you change the authorization for the smart lock at Dr. Luo’s laboratory?”

“Can be changed,” Luo Ning nodded.

Liao You said, “Then we’ll trouble you to help change it after you go there, reset the permissions for Dr. Luo and the others, so they can freely enter the laboratory.”

Luo Ning looked puzzled and asked, “Isn’t the laboratory going to be moved to the base? Will this laboratory still be used?”

“Dr. Luo said that he built the laboratory from scratch, so he can’t bear to abandon it. If the apocalypse were to end, he would still go back to it,” Liao You replied.

Luo Ning nodded, “I see. I’ll reset their permissions once I get there.”

She then said, “However, I have a question.”

“What question?” Liao You looked at her.

“Since Su Wei is a major shareholder of the laboratory and Dr. Luo is also an owner, why didn’t they have the authority to unlock the intelligent lock before?” Luo Ning asked truthfully.

Liao You laughed, “We also asked Dr. Luo the same question.”

“He said that the person who turned into a zombie had independently modified and reset the permissions of the intelligent lock, which is why they couldn’t get out or in.”

“Although we’re skeptical of his explanation, now is not the time to delve into these matters, after all, the laboratory belongs to Dr. Luo, and however he arranges things is normal.”

The base values Dr. Luo and his team’s capabilities and does not plan to investigate other issues deeply.

However, Luo Ning, Bo Xuan, and the others retained their skepticism.

While they were casually talking, Luo Ning suddenly looked towards the distant sky.

Then before anyone could react, she quickly picked up the sniper rifle on the plane.

Immediately after, everyone saw a viciously aggressive mutant bird with a murderous glint in its eye, swooping towards the plane.

Before it could grab the helicopter, Luo Ning, who had opened a corner of the window, shot it in the head.

Because of her shot, the bird died instantly and plummeted down.

Everyone was shocked and broke out in cold sweat.

Liao You looked quite grim, “There are now aerial mutants attacking us.”

If it weren’t for Luo Ning’s quick response, that bird would have grabbed their helicopter.

If that ferocious and enormous bird had gotten hold of it, the helicopter would have crashed, and they might all have been killed.

Fan Ye and the others were also startled, “That was close!”

“Brother Ning is reliable,” they all expressed their relief.

Liao You also noticed that Luo Ning’s senses were extremely sharp; she had picked up the gun even before the bird appeared.

“We owe you one this time.”

Luo Ning smiled, “It’s nothing.”

Her senses were naturally much stronger than anyone else present.

She reminded, “Tell the snipers on the other helicopters to keep an eye on the surroundings and open fire if any mutant birds approach.”

Liao You nodded gravely, afflicted with lingering fears, “Alright.”

He then used the walkie-talkie to contact people on the other helicopters.

Thankfully they heeded her warning, and along the way, they encountered several bird attacks. Being prepared beforehand, they managed to reach the laboratory without mishap.

Beneath them, some zombies were wandering, but it looked like they had been cleared out by someone.

Luo Ning and the others guessed that it probably was the work of other national teams.

The helicopter landed on the roof of the laboratory building, and the group descended from the top floor without encountering any zombies.

When they reached the laboratory door on the basement level, they saw dozens of people squatting at the entrance.

Teams from other countries had cleared out the zombies outside and after rushing in, they closed the main door of the building.

This kept the remaining wandering zombies temporarily unable to enter.

They had tried every possible way, but could not open the intelligent lock on the laboratory door, which caused them considerable headache and frustration.

Now, seeing the Huaxia Team appear with the military base personnel, they were all stunned.
