Chapter 55: Research Institute
When she was talking to Qin Zhiheng last night, she also learned from the other party that there was a small research institute on the nearby mountain.
As the apocalyptic time progresses, the strength of the institute will also grow rapidly.
So without further ado, after careful discussion with Fu Disheng, the two decided that in the afternoon, Fu Siting and Jiang Ningqin would lead thirty people with abilities to take the lead in attacking the ability station.
This time the attack was carried out by the 30 strongest members of the church.
In addition, the area of the institute is small, so it was not a difficult task.
But because of the lesson of underestimating the enemy last time, Fu Siting took a few people with special abilities to take the lead in exploring the way to explore the truth and reality.
In the thick of the night, the forest is silent.
Suddenly, Chu Lian contacted Jiang Ningqin through the chain of hearts: "Sister Yu'er, I feel that something seems to be wrong around me. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ningqin immediately mentioned that he had to be careful, looked around vigilantly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Lian said: "I have liked to go into this forest to catch insects since I was a child, but today there is no insect sound, the terrain here is very high, and it will not be flooded at all, even after the cold winter, it will not be quiet to this extent." ”
As he spoke, a gust of wind blew.
The leaves of the forest rub against each other, making a gurgling sound, which only accentuates the silence of the neighborhood.
Jiang Ningqin thought of Fu Siting who was exploring the path ahead, his heart immediately lifted, and he hurriedly asked through the soul chain: "Siting, are you okay?" Come back soon. ”
On the other side, he immediately replied: "I'm fine, I'll be back in a minute." ”
After receiving the reply, Jiang Ningqin's heart relaxed a little.
It was only a few seconds before she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and the familiar tinnitus in her ears.
It's the sound waves emitted by the institute's machines again!
There was no doubt about it, Jiang Ningqin immediately shouted through the chain of his heart: "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" ”
Chu Lian's reaction was the fastest, and he immediately covered Jiang Ningqin to withdraw.
However, it was too late, and the vicinity suddenly brightened as day, and then several large nets with strange lights instantly struck from a distance, so fast that the naked eye did not have time to catch them.
Several people who were already dizzy were suddenly enveloped in it, and at this time, in the direction that Fu Siting left in the distance, strong thunder and lightning erupted.
"There's already a war over there, Sister Yu'er, I'll help!" After that, Chu Lian was about to rush over.
However, a large number of research institutes wearing mechanical armor suddenly appeared in the surrounding woods, and they held weapons in their hands and faced Jiang Ningqin and the others.
Jiang Ningqin reacted instantly, and hurriedly used mental power to control, but found that the figure of the enemy could not be found at all in the mental power scan, and Chu Lian's spirit was also affected by the sound waves, and gradually withered, and the other slightly weaker abilities had already collapsed on the ground.
"Si Ting, come back quickly, there is a weapon on the opposite side that can temporarily eliminate the ability!" Jiang Ningqin's ability to chain his mind was also weakening, and his voice began to become intermittent.
Seeing that more and more researchers were surrounded, they fearlessly put the unconscious paranormal people into bags like picking up garbage.
Just when it was about to be Jiang Ningqin's turn, he finally broke through the researcher's blockade, like a gust of thunder and lightning wind, rolled up the rest of his teammates, and quickly withdrew in the direction of the city.
I don't know how long it took for Jiang Ningqin to open his eyes.
On the side were Fu Siting, who was still asleep, and several other abilities.
Fu Disheng's anxious voice immediately came: "What's the matter with you?" What about the rest! ”
At this time, Jiang Ningqin had a splitting headache, and even her memory became a little blurry, she knocked her head hard, carefully sorted out what happened just now, and said: "Fu Siting went to explore the way, we were ambushed when we waited any longer, the other party's equipment is complete, and there are also equipment that can temporarily weaken our ability, we are definitely prepared." ”
Hearing this, Fu Zihui on the side sneered: "You just shirked the responsibility so easily, didn't you?" Jiang Ningqin, open your eyes and see, the thirty abilities we provided to you are back five now! That's twenty-five lives, can you afford it! ”
Jiang Ningqin, who had a splitting headache, listened to Fu Zihui's harsh accusation, and became even more irritable, and she glared at the latter.
"You don't need to say it, I'll be responsible!"
So saying, he got up from the bed.
She's back at the base by now, and it stands to reason that it's supposed to be safe.
But just lost so many people, Fu Siting is still in a coma, she does have an unshirkable responsibility, she can't rest assured.
If nothing else, they did underestimate the enemy.
Jiang Ningqin ignored Fu Zihui's noise, her face was pale, but her eyes were extremely firm.
She took a deep breath and looked at the other Adepts huddled in the room.
"We can't ignore our companions, they were not killed on the spot by the people of the Institute, but were captured alive, what the Institute does, I'm sure you all know."
"They caught the Stranger, just to do experiments, not to kill people immediately, so we still have a chance. But I lost people, and I will go and get them back, but I need help, and which of you wants to go with me? ”
As soon as the words fell, a weak figure squeezed out of the crowd, Chu Lian's face was a little pale, but his eyes were very firm when he looked at Jiang Ningqin.
"Sister Qin'er, I'll go with you!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ningqin frowned: "Chu Lian, you are injured, or you are still ......."
"Come on! Jiang Ningqin, don't you think there are enough people to die? Don't forget that you brought the strongest thirty abilities, only five people came back, Brother Si Ting is still unconscious, he is the strongest of our group of abilities, you all go to this result, the rest of the abilities follow you to death? ”
Fu Zihui stood in front of Jiang Ningqin, cutting off her from Chu Lian's sight, and her words were mean.
But there is no way for anyone present to deny that her words are wrong, the strong ones can't come back, and the weak ones are sent to death.
Jiang Ningqin looked at Fu Zihui indifferently: "What do you mean by this?" Do we just watch our companions being studied as experiments by the people of the institute? I don't force everyone, I just want everyone to help each other. ”
"Today they were arrested, and tomorrow it may be our turn, is it possible that someone is arrested, and we just watch from the sidelines? So what is the meaning of the existence of our base? ”
As Jiang Ningqin spoke, his eyes kept scanning the surrounding abilities, his eyes looking forward to it.
Being stared at by this kind of gaze, many of the strangers took two steps back, their expressions were a little uncomfortable, dodging Jiang Ningqin's gaze, and they were all shaken by Fu Zihui's words.
Fu Zihui hugged her hands and sneered proudly, looked at Jiang Ningqin mockingly, and said: "Jiang Ningqin, it's useless to say good words, it's not easy to awaken the ability, not to mention how much effort everyone has put in when they reach the current level, you just want them to follow you to death with just two words?" You really think of this place as your word house! ”
"That's it! Zihui, say a few words. ”
Fu Disheng, who had not spoken, finally spoke.
The losses were heavy, and his face was ugly, but Fu Zihui's words were still a little excessive.
Fu Zihui finally caught Jiang Ningqin's mistake, where is she willing to stop there?
"Where did I say something wrong, Dad, why are you helping her? She did all this, she didn't have that ability, but she just wanted to lead the team, why wasn't she who was arrested? Brother Si Ting was knocked unconscious by her, why can't I say a few words? I'm going to say! ”
"Brother Fu is awake!"
A surprised voice sounded in the crowd, and everyone's eyes converged on the unconscious Fu Siting almost instantly.
Jiang Ningqin was no exception, and subconsciously pounced on Fu Siting's bedside.
Fu Siting's long eyelashes trembled, the muscles on his haggard but handsome face trembled, his eyelids raised slightly, and he woke up.
"Si Ting! Are you okay? ”
Jiang Ningqin was surprised and delighted, grabbed Fu Siting's well-defined hand, and said with a long sigh of relief: "It's okay, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Everyone else gathered around.
Fu Zihui squeezed to the other side of the bed, grabbed Fu Siting's other hand, looked at Jiang Ningqin with some jealousy, and spoke first.
"Brother Si Ting! You can be regarded as awake, scared me to death, only five of the thirty people came back from this mission, it is Jiang Ningqin's fault, Brother Si Ting, you rest first, and we will solve the rest of the things, and someone must be responsible for this matter. ”
As soon as Fu Zihui's words fell, she suddenly felt that her hand was empty, and Fu Siting, who had come to her senses, pulled her hand back with a displeased expression.
Then sat up with the help of Jiang Ningqin, he pinched his eyebrows, completely ignored Fu Zihui's embarrassed face, and looked at the surrounding strangers and said.
"I am indeed unconscious, but I can hear it, this matter is my responsibility, it has nothing to do with Jiang Ningqin, I took the thirty supernatural people away, then I will be responsible for bringing them back!"
As he spoke, Fu Siting got off the bed and stood up, as if a green pine standing in the frost could not overcome him.
But looking at his bloodless lips, Jiang Ningqin said distressed and worried.
"You better rest, I'll take people with me, I will definitely rescue them, even if I can't bring people back, I will determine their situation."
Fu Siting glanced down at Jiang Ningqin, and his dark eyes made Jiang Ningqin look extremely relieved.
"I'm fine."
"Brother Si Ting! Don't be reckless, and don't excuse some people, this matter is obviously Jiang Ningqin's ......"
"Enough!"
Fu Zihui, who had been ignored, was a little unwilling, and jumped out to convict Jiang Ningqin, but before she finished speaking, she was scolded by the impatient Fu Siting and forced to shut up.
Fu Siting looked at Fu Zihui coldly, his expression was undeniably serious: "Fu Zihui, Jiang Ningqin has already made it clear, we underestimated that research institute, and they may have been ambushed a long time ago." ”
After a pause, he glanced around.
"Even if you want to be held responsible, it should not be blamed on Qin'er alone, the decision-makers of this operation are responsible! Qin'er and I can't escape the blame, but you, Fu Lao, and other decision-makers also have to be responsible! ”
Fu Siting said loudly, Fu Zihui's face was slightly pale, but she couldn't say anything to refute, so she could only bite her lip and stare at Jiang Ningqin hatefully.
Fu Disheng was suddenly named, and finally stood up, looked at Fu Siting apologetically and said, "I'm sorry Si Ting, I was too anxious just now, so I ......."
"Don't say it's useless."
Fu Siting didn't want to listen to Fu Disheng's explanation, no matter whether Fu Disheng deliberately asked Fu Zihui to convict Jiang Ningqin in a hurry just now to shirk his responsibility, or he was really too anxious and wanted to save people, so he ignored it for a while.
Fu Siting doesn't care about these, now is not the time to pursue these.
Fu Siting looked at the strangers present and said, "If you are willing to follow me to save people, please stand up, if you don't want to, I won't force it." ”
