CHAPTER 373: SHOCKING DISCOVERY

While not everyone knew what that crystal was, Zhang Yuan was sure that the crystal must be a zombie crystal.

But why did Wen Hao do this kind of human experiment? Did the zombie virus outbreak have something to do with him?

While he was lost in thought, the rest of the Phantom Team members were spreading news about the Lin’an City Base. Since the workers had to take turns running on the mill, they had to repeat the same words several times.

After several hours, they felt parched, and Feng Yun couldn’t help but take out a bottle of water from his space when the guards weren’t looking.

The moment he took out the water bottle, the workers around him were surprised and stared at him with their eyes wide. Feng Yun drank the water before he stored it back in his place.

When he was done, he smiled at them and asked, "Do you want some water, too?"

Hearing this, one of the workers asked, "Brother, where did you get the water?"

"Oh, I’m a space-type ability-user. I have water in my space," Feng Yun replied casually.

After a moment of silence, another worker asked, "Brother, can you give me some water?"

"Sure, but you have to make sure that the guards don’t notice, or we will get into trouble," Feng Yun agreed readily and took out another bottle of water from his space.

Seeing this, the workers’ eyes lit up. While the man drank the water, several workers used their bodies to block the guards’ gazes. When he was done, another worker finished the rest of the water.

Reaching out, Feng Yun took the empty bottle and took out another bottle of water. Just like this, the workers, who were resting, shared the water. After they were done, Feng Yun took out a piece of ready-to-eat sausage from his space and ate it.

This time, the workers were not as surprised as before, but they were still amazed at the amount of supplies he had. After a while, a young man asked, "Brother, do you have more food? My grandpa is old, and he is sick. Can you give me some food?"

When everyone heard this, they thought that Feng Yun would refuse. After all, food was different from water. They could get more water from water-type ability-users, but food was limited.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yun nodded and took out a pack of braised boiled eggs and handed it to the young man while saying, "You have to make sure to eat, too."

Afterward, he looked at everyone and said, "Actually, I’m a member of a mercenary team sent by the commander of the Lin’an City Base. My team came to this base to relocate everyone to the Lin’an City Base."

"Why?" one of the workers asked.

"The Lin’an City Base’s commander received news about the fall of the capital. The moment he received the news, he sent my team over. It took us several days before we arrived. Now, the capital is filled with zombies. This place is no longer suitable for living," Feng Yun replied without taking a pause.

When everyone heard this, they were excited at first. But when they remembered their current situation, the light in their eyes dimmed.

Noticing this, Feng Yun said, "Don’t worry about your family. My team has prepared a plan to rescue everyone from this base. When the preparation is done, we will relocate your family first."

"Since you are under strict guard, we can only relocate you all at the last moment. Before that, everyone has to recover their energy. Until we leave, I will be responsible for giving everyone water and food," he added.

Initially, the workers didn’t believe his words. But when they met his firm gaze, they finally showed some hesitation before one of them asked, "Brother, will the Lin’an City Base accept everyone?"

This time, Feng Yun nodded firmly. He showed them his ID card and said, "The situation in the Lin’an City Base is different from this place. As long as you work hard, not to mention food or water, you can even buy a house."

"If you have specific skills such as being a doctor, engineer, researcher, or other occupations, the base will hire you. If you are registered as a permanent resident and work for the base as staff, you will receive a salary and supplies every month."

The moment he said this, everyone was surprised. In this place, they worked like cows and horses, but the base only gave them half a bowl of thin porridge for every meal. Not to mention feeling full, the amount of porridge was not even enough to quench their thirst.

So, after hearing his words, the workers couldn’t hide their excitement. The young man held Feng Yun’s hand and asked, "Brother, will your team really take us away?"

Feng Yun nodded and replied, "My team will make sure to take everyone to the Lin’an City Base in a few days. For now, I need everyone’s help to spread the word and share the supplies. In order to leave, we need energy."

After hearing his words, the workers agreed readily. Now that he had finished the first step, the next step was to improve these survivors’ body condition.

They were exhausted and malnourished. Even if they were able to leave this base, in their current condition, it would be hard for them to reach Lin’an City.

At midnight, the Phantom team members gathered together and reported their progress to Zhang Yuan.

When they finished reporting, Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Feng Yun, you and Qianfeng will stay here to provide the survivors with food and water. The rest will follow me to investigate the base."

"Vice Captain, did you discover something unusual?" Qin Luzi asked.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "I heard from a worker that Wen Hao is doing human experiments. From the worker’s explanation, it seems that this base is trying to implant a zombie’s crystal core into a human’s brain."
