Chapter 303 - 303 302 Is it him
?Chapter 303: Chapter 302: Is it him? Chapter 303: Chapter 302: Is it him? Cooperation was refused, which took these teams by surprise and shattered their original plans.
The members looked towards the captain of the first team and asked, “What should we do now?”
The captain of the first team thought for a moment and replied, “Let’s stick to the plan. If we can’t steal covertly, let’s rob overtly then.”
“We should contact teams that won’t hold us back and form an alliance to push out the Huaxia Team. It would be best if we could eliminate them from the competition.”
He added, “That Luo Ning is no simple character, it’s better to kick her out first.”
“Without Luo Ning, relying solely on Bo Xuan to lead the three, the scales of victory will still tip in our favor.”
By saying such words, he not only placed Luo Ning in a position equal to his own but even esteemed her higher.
It was essential to handle it beforehand; he did not want any slip-ups at the end due to her unexpected involvement.
The next day, Luo Ning and her team gathered at the airport.
Liao You had already been waiting with a team of elites from the base, and this time even Colonel Pan was there.
Colonel Pan’s demeanor towards Luo Ning and her team was relatively friendly and polite, “Luo Ning, you guys have arrived.”
“This mission is quite important, the safety of Dr. Luo and his assistant is in your hands,” he said, focusing on Luo Ning.
Luo Ning smiled and nodded, “Rest assured, Colonel Pan, we will do our utmost to ensure the safety of Dr. Luo and his team.”
When other teams arrived, they saw Luo Ning chatting and laughing with the high-ranking officials from the base.
It was unclear how the Huaxia Team managed to establish connections with the high ranks as soon as they arrived at the base, no wonder they could mix so well there.
It was just unfortunate that Luo Ning was too astute, not cooperating with them, otherwise, they could have also taken advantage of the base’s power.
After a while, the vehicles intended for escorting Dr. Luo and his team arrived.
Luo Ning and her team boarded their helicopter, and Dr. Luo, Liao You, and others were also accommodated in the same aircraft.
From its performance and durability, the helicopter chosen by Luo Ning was even better than those from the base.
This time, the pilot was professionally arranged by the base, and Luo Ning sat close to Dr. Luo and his team.
Dr. Luo seemed to be in good spirits and took the initiative to greet Luo Ning with a smile.
Su Wei was also accompanying them this time, sitting next to Luo Ning.
Over the past month and a half, Luo Ning and her team had encountered Su Wei several times while on missions.
Additionally, since Luo Ning had saved Su Wei before, they maintained fairly regular contact and had a pretty good relationship.
Throughout the journey, Su Wei also started conversations with Luo Ning.
Looking at Su Wei, Luo Ning asked, “I see you have quite dark circles, and you don’t seem to be in good spirits. Have you been very busy lately?”
Su Wei yawned and replied, “I’ve started working in my college major again recently, and there’s a lot I need to relearn, so I often stay up late.”
Luo Ning asked with a light laugh, “Not doing business anymore, sure about switching to research?”
Su Wei replied with a resigned expression, “In this world now, doing research is more promising than business. To make a living, I had no choice but to give up what I love.”
Luo Ning said meaningfully, “Once the antidote for the Zombie Virus is developed and things go back to how they were, you’ll be able to do what you love again.”
Su Wei’s eyes flickered, showing a complex emotion that was hard to describe, “I hope so.”
They didn’t continue this topic and casually chatted about various other things.
[Suddenly a suspicion arises—could Su Wei be the one who released the Zombie Virus?]
[It’s not impossible; he is one of the most frequently appearing locals besides Liao You.]
[He majored in biopharmaceuticals and although he started a company after graduation, it was still within the same industry.]
“There’s also a brilliant doctor brother, isn’t Dr. Luo’s laboratory mainly funded by him? He had both the location and the opportunity to create the virus.”
“Yes, and Dr. Luo has already decoded the Zombie Virus. It’s only been over half a month, isn’t that too quick?”
“The speed of decoding the virus is indeed suspiciously fast, Dr. Luo might have been used by Su Wei as well.”
“And did you notice that Brother Ning tested Su Wei several times with his words?”
“I noticed, Brother Ning was still testing him just now.”
“The more we talk about it, the more he seems the most suspicious.”
“So, is it really him?”
“It’s very likely him. Yesterday, Brother Ning was guessing and speculating that among those on this mission, there was someone who spread the virus.”
Not only domestic viewers speculated that Su Wei was likely the one who released the Zombie Virus,
International viewers also guessed the same and were worried for their national teams.
Seeing that many teams also suspected Su Wei gave them some relief.
They faced several attacks by Zombie Birds along the way, but under Luo Ning’s lead, they quickly shot guns and threw talismans, avoiding damage to the plane and casualties.
Upon reaching the base of the Mountain, the plane stopped at the foot.
This area was far from urban areas, and there weren’t many villages nearby, so there were no zombies.
However, after disembarking, seeing the current state of the mountain made everyone gasp.
The whole Mountain was engulfed by huge green vegetation, dense and impenetrable.
At a glance, many Mutant Plants could be seen, and some had even become Zombie Plants.
Colonel Pan frowned and said, “These woods are dangerous.”
Dr. Luo sighed, “Dangerous as it may be, we have to proceed. I’ve researched, and only this Mountain has that kind of plant.”
He added, “And if it’s mutated, even better. The experimental results will be better too.”
Colonel Pan nodded, “Regardless, we must find the plant and bring it back.”
This was crucial for the future of humanity; no matter the cost, it had to be found.
Dr. Luo took out a stack of photos of the plants, already printed, and handed them to Liao You.
“Could you distribute these to them, Captain Liao, and have them look for the plants in the pictures?”
Liao You took them, handed one to Luo Ning, kept one for himself, and then ordered his subordinates to distribute copies to everyone on the mission.
Seeing that it was about time, Colonel Pan made a forward gesture, “Let’s go, up the mountain!”
He had his base personnel split into four groups, surrounding Dr. Luo and several of his research staff in the center.
Luo Ning’s team was also placed in the middle, in a protected position.
Liao You also issued each of them a submachine gun and a machine gun to carry up the mountain for protection.
Those tasked with the search followed behind.
Other teams saw that each member of the Huaxia Team not only had two of the most advanced weapons but also received an additional two each, and they were green with envy.
They had guns this time; the base had issued each of them a submachine gun, but they were of a lower grade than what the Huaxia Team held.
These were items they had coveted for a long time outside, yet they were still untouchable.
The group entered the woods and soon faced attacks by Mutant Plants.
