Chapter 1381 I Didn’t Want to Hide It

You know, although this zombie virus reagent cannot immediately solve the zombie crisis, it is currently the only hope to solve the mystery of the doomsday zombie virus.

When the zombie crisis swept in like a tsunami, the social structure of Country Z and even the world was ruthlessly shaken and fell into a shaky situation.

However, thanks to the fact that Country Z had prepared for the crisis and built a series of defense systems in advance, when the zombie craze ravaged other countries and put them into despair, the impact on Country Z was relatively mild, making it the country least affected by the global zombie crisis.

The Youzhou base, located in the capital city B, has unique resource advantages and possesses the most advanced research conditions and talent pool in the country and even the world.

As the heart of the country, City B has always been a gathering place for various resources. Against the backdrop of the end of the world, the scientific research facilities here still retain the high-tech standards of the heyday.

In terms of talent, there are world-renowned veterans in virology, senior experts in their prime, and young talents selected from top universities and research institutions. All of them are outstanding people with profound attainments in their respective fields.

From the moment the end of the world came, they locked themselves in the underground laboratory of Youzhou base and launched an arduous battle with the zombie virus.

They repeatedly studied the infection mechanism of the zombie virus, trying to find the virus's fatal weakness from countless experimental samples, and explored ways to inhibit the spread of the virus from every possible angle.

However, this zombie virus is like a demon from the dark abyss, cunning and elusive.

Although they tried their best, they were always stuck in the bottleneck of research and failed to make any substantial breakthrough.

Therefore, when it was learned that the Jinling base was very likely to bring back the original reagent of the zombie virus, the national level quickly made a comprehensive strategic deployment and attached great importance to it.

After extremely careful consideration and weighing, given that there is a long distance of more than 900 kilometers between City B and City N, if an elite force is sent from City B to City N to perform an escort mission, it will not only be difficult and extremely impractical in actual operation, but will also consume a lot of time and cost, causing the entire escort process to be delayed.

Moreover, during the long journey, with a large number of people and a large-scale operation, it is extremely difficult to ensure that information is not leaked. This is tantamount to raising a conspicuous flag in this crisis-ridden doomsday, openly exposing the target and attracting countless unknown dangers and troubles.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the senior leaders decided to entrust this extremely difficult and responsible escort task to the Fire Team which was already at the Jinling Base.

The Fire Team, led by Lu Jingcheng, has been active in City N for a long time. They have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the local environment, zombie distribution, and various potential dangers, and can respond to various emergencies more flexibly and efficiently.

What's more, from the perspective of division of responsibilities and mission responsibility, this is the responsibility of the Fire Team.

They have proven their strength and reliability with their outstanding performance and tenacious perseverance in countless difficult missions in the past, and are the most suitable choice to carry out this escort mission.

However, when Li Luo heard the news, his body suddenly stiffened and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

The expression was fleeting, but it did not escape Lu Jingcheng's eyes.

She subconsciously looked at Lu Jingcheng, her beautiful eyes full of doubts, as if silently asking:

Why didn't you say a word about such an important thing before?

Lu Jingcheng felt uneasy when he was looked at by her, and his eyes dodged for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and looked back at her straightly.

How could he not know Li Luo’s doubts?

In fact, he didn't hide it from her on purpose, he just wanted to wait for her to come back safely before telling her in person.

After all, Li Luo faced so many dangers this time, and he didn't want these extra things to disturb her and distract her from dealing with those crises.

At this time, Lu Jingcheng gave Li Luo a look that said "wait for my explanation", then cleared his throat and said:

"This escort mission is of great importance. The Blazing Team will do their best and will never let you down."

As he spoke, his eyes were always gently focused on Li Luo. His eyes were filled with endless apology and affection, as if silently telling the thousands of words in his heart, as if every eye contact could convey the deepest emotions in his heart.

Li Luoduo was a smart man, so he naturally guessed what Lu Jingcheng was thinking.

She didn't blame him, but just raised her chin slightly and said seriously:

"The Blazing Team is experienced and capable, and is indeed the best choice for escort. However, we still need to plan ahead to ensure that the journey is smooth and the reagents can be safely delivered to the Youzhou base."

Seeing that Li Luo did not blame him for hiding the truth, Lu Jingcheng heaved a sigh of relief, a smile broke out on his face, and joy was evident in his eyes.

He smiled and said to Li Luo, "Don't worry. Since we accepted this escort mission, all preparations have been underway. We will not embark on the journey until we are sure that everything is foolproof. There will definitely not be any mistakes."

Afterwards, everyone had an in-depth and detailed discussion on the escort issue.

Time passed quietly amidst the intense discussions and collision of ideas, with everyone concentrating and expressing their own opinions.

From the personnel deployment of the escort team, to the countermeasures against possible zombie attacks, to the maintenance and emergency repair plans for transport vehicles, all have been thoroughly analyzed and planned.

I don’t know how long it took, but the air in the conference room seemed to become heavy and depressing.

Under the light, everyone in the room looked exhausted.

The long period of mental exertion and mental tension made their eyes look a bit tired.

However, even so, one can still clearly sense the determination and persistence in their expressions.

Finally, after reaching a series of careful escort plans and emergency preparedness, the meeting slowly came to a close.

Time flows silently and quietly slides to the morning hour.

Outside the conference room window, the sky seemed to be covered tightly by a huge black curtain.

The darkness of the eternal night is like the devil's giant claw, ruthlessly grasping the world in its hand and refusing to let go in the slightest, making the sky still a bottomless blackness, with not a ray of dawn able to penetrate the thick haze.

But inside the Jinling base, the scene was quite different.

In the streets and alleys, street lights light up one after another, and the soft lights interweave together, like golden streams winding through the roads.
