As one of the largest cities in the country, Beijing has countless zombies. Even Wang Tao, who has seen all kinds of big scenes, felt a little scalp-tingling when he saw the densely packed zombies below from the air.

The number of these zombies is definitely more than the zombies in the previous zombie tide!

And most importantly, these zombies are not only numerous, but also very powerful - the third-level zombies, which were relatively rare before, can't be seen everywhere here, but in any small zombie group, there are always a few third-level zombies.

Wang Tao even saw a fourth-level zombie!

Although there were not many level 4 zombies and he had not seen the Overlord yet, this was the first time he had seen a level 4 zombie since he came all the way from the Shuize Base.

The corrosive acid rain hasn’t stopped yet. If we wait until the rain stops, a large number of level 4 zombies will definitely appear here!

Of course, Wang Tao was not afraid. For other survivors, this place must be hell; but for him, these fourth-level zombies were resources that he could continue to improve!

However, Wang Tao did not come here to hunt zombies this time, but to save Qu Shilin, so he did not go out of his way to look for fourth-level zombies. He just killed the fourth-level zombies he saw.

The fourth-level common and elite zombies were no different from the third-level zombies in front of Wang Tao, and they were basically killed instantly. I haven't seen the fourth-level lord zombies yet, and I don't know if their strength will be improved compared to the previous life.

Soon, Wang Tao arrived near Jingcheng University, hoping that the research institute would be next to the university. However, Qu Shilin might not be here.

When the virus broke out, the country's top leaders understood the importance of the Hope Institute, so they sent soldiers to help Hope researchers transfer.

Because there were too many zombies here and the situation was very serious, it was a bit troublesome to move all the personnel away at once. After all, in addition to the personnel, there were also many equipments that had to be moved. So the transfer was divided into several batches, and each batch of personnel was moved to several places.

It was very chaotic at the time, and Qu Shilin couldn't remember which batch she was transferred from. She only remembered that she was forced to hide in many places. It was not until a month and a half after the end of the world that she was taken to the Changhe Base and lived a relatively stable life.

So Wang Tao didn't know whether Qu Shilin was in the institute now. However, Qu Shilin had marked many places for Wang Tao in her previous life. These were all places where Qu Shilin had been before. As long as Wang Tao looked for them, he would most likely find her.

Wang Tao first searched the campus roughly, but found it was full of zombies and not a single living person.

This made Wang Tao feel a little regretful. These students could be said to be the future of the country. If someone was still alive, Wang Tao would definitely rescue them. Unfortunately, he didn't.

Then Wang Tao flew to the Hope Institute.

I hope the inside of the institute is also in a mess. There are nothing but zombies everywhere, and it doesn't look like there are any living people.

But Wang Tao was not in a hurry because he had already sensed the survivors underground.

Qu Shilin had told Wang Tao before that they had all been hiding in the basement of the institute at first. Apart from the shortage of food, it was generally safe underground.

Wang Tao quickly cleared out the zombies inside, then came to the entrance of the underground floor and shouted at the gate:

"Is there anyone alive inside? I'm Wang Tao, and I'm here to rescue you on behalf of the military."

The institute has its own power supply system. The electricity can last for a long time. The cameras and other things can be used. They should be able to see Wang Tao.

A moment after Wang Tao finished his words, the steel door of the underground floor slowly opened, and two young men in white coats walked out, looking haggard but excited.

"Come in quickly! Are you a mutant?"

They had obviously seen from the surveillance footage Wang Tao killing zombies indiscriminately in the research institute.

Although it was difficult to trust others in the apocalypse, Wang Tao was alone and had not produced any proof of his connection with the military, but with the strength he had shown before, their gate was obviously not able to stop him. In addition, they were more inclined to believe that Wang Tao really came to save them. After all, apart from the military, no one should know that they were hiding underground, so after hesitating for a while, they still opened the door.

"Yes." Wang Tao nodded with a smile, and then asked directly, "How many people do you have? How are the conditions?"

While talking, Wang Tao had already gone in with them. The situation inside was much better than Wang Tao had imagined. Nothing dark happened. They were doing research while waiting for rescue.

Seeing Wang Tao coming in, all the white coats looked at him with hope. There were men and women, the youngest were probably in their twenties, and the oldest were in their sixties or seventies. They all looked haggard, and it was obvious that they were not living well.

"We are all here. The situation is good and no one has died yet. But there is not enough food. Even if we ration it every day, we may not be able to hold on for too long..."

One of the men in white coats spoke weakly.

"As long as he's alright."

As Wang Tao spoke, he looked at everyone and did not see Qu Shilin, which made him a little disappointed.

However, Wang Tao still took out a lot of food and placed it in front of them.

"You guys should eat something first."

"..."

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Wang Tao suddenly take out so much food out of thin air like a magic trick. Could this also be the method of a superpower?

Several young people were about to ask questions subconsciously, but were stopped by several older researchers. After all, it was their first meeting, and they were here to save them, so they couldn't be too abrupt.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

The older researchers first thanked Wang Tao, and then asked others to line up to get food.

Wang Tao nodded secretly, and then asked:

"Do you know where Qu Shilin is?"

"Qu Shilin? She was transferred half a month ago. They said she was transferred to the northeast..."

They were a little curious that Wang Tao actually knew Qu Shilin, but they didn't ask much. Someone gave them an address.

"Half a month ago..."

Wang Tao frowned a little. The transfer time was a bit early. Many accidents might occur in such a long time.

However, this person also said that Qu Shilin moved to the northeast. Wang Tao carefully recalled the places where Qu Shilin had stayed in his previous life. There were three places that fit the northeast direction. If nothing unexpected happened, Qu Shilin should be in one of these three places.

"Okay, I see."

Wang Tao nodded, and then said to these people:

"I have something else to do. I need to go find Qu Shilin. You guys wait here for me. Whether I find Qu Shilin or not, I will come back tomorrow night at the latest and take you away from here."

When they heard that Wang Tao was going to take them away, these people were very happy at first, but then they seemed hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? If you have any questions, just ask."

Wang Tao asked with some confusion.

“Ahem, our previous mission was to study the zombie virus here, and strive to thoroughly study the zombie virus in a short period of time. We have achieved some phased results, such as inhibitors. You should have seen this thing. But if we leave here, this mission…” Someone scratched his head and explained.

Hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly remembered.

In her previous life, Qu Shilin and Wang Tao said that she sought protection immediately after the apocalypse, so she was safer. But she also lost many opportunities to study the ancestor virus.

There was a group of researchers who were at the forefront of studying the Progenitor virus. They were more thorough in their research on the zombie virus and had more research results. But they all died in the end, and even their research results were not preserved...

Wang Tao looked at the group of white coats. Could they be the ones who were researching the zombie virus on the front line?

So Wang Tao asked:

"Did you take the initiative to stay and study the zombie virus? Some researchers were transferred away, but you stayed?"

"...Yes, we stayed here on our own initiative."

Someone scratched his head and then a bitter smile appeared on his face again.

"We really didn't care about life and death at the time, but we also had our own confidence. We felt that we could develop an antidote in a short period of time, and we also had confidence in our country. But we didn't expect this disaster to be so terrible, and the country fell so quickly... We are now cut off from the outside world, and we don't know what the situation is outside, and we don't know what to do. If I hadn't seen you today, we would even doubt whether we are the only living people in the world..."

They did choose to stay before with a fearless spirit, but the premise was that they could see hope. But now there is no hope at all, and they don't know whether they should stay or not. If they stay, they will most likely die. They may not be afraid of death, but they have to die meaningfully. If they die meaninglessly, it is obviously better to stay alive.

After hearing what this person said, Wang Tao secretly thought that this group of people were the ones that Qu Shilin mentioned who stayed on the front line to study the zombie virus.

If Wang Tao hadn't come here today, they would have surely died.

So Wang Tao smiled and said:
"You don't have to worry about it, just follow me. I can also take away your research equipment and materials. The capital is too dangerous now. You will die if you stay here. Even if you can finally research something, it will be useless. There are 100,000 survivors in our base. Your research results may not be much, but at least they can benefit these 100,000 survivors..."

"One hundred thousand survivors!"

When they heard that there were so many survivors where Wang Tao was, all the researchers' eyes lit up.

"Okay! Then we'll wait for you here!"

"Ah."

Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction, then left the Hope Institute and flew towards the northeast.

Combining the three places mentioned by Qu Shilin before, start searching in the order in which they are mentioned.

There was no one at the first location, but there were some signs of life, so they must have lived there for a day or two and then moved away.

There was no one at the second location either, but there were obvious signs of life there, and it was estimated that they had lived there for about four or five days.

As for the third location...

Wang Tao was hovering over a villa area in the suburbs and could sense that there were more than 50 survivors below. And Wang Tao saw a familiar face at a glance, which made him smile.

"Finally found you."

Wang Tao landed silently on the terrace of a villa.

Qu Shilin, who was using a glass container to collect rainwater, was startled when she saw a tall figure appear in front of her. She subconsciously wanted to scream, but she suddenly found that she couldn't speak, and even couldn't move her body!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Wang Tao spoke in a gentle voice, controlling Qu Shilin to walk in with him.

With the help of the lights in the house, Qu Shilin, who was filled with fear, finally saw Wang Tao's appearance. Although he was handsome, his ability to control people was too terrifying!

"My name is Wang Tao. I just came from the Hope Institute. I'm here on behalf of the military to take you researchers and those who are still at the Hope Institute to a safe place to do research..."

Wang Tao gave Qu Shilin a brief explanation and then released his control over Qu Shilin.

Hearing this, the fear in Qu Shilin's eyes suddenly faded a lot. After finding that she had regained control of her body, she subconsciously took a step back, looking at Wang Tao with caution and curiosity:

"Is this a superpower? Can superpowers be so strong?"

She has been studying crystal cores and corrosive acid rain recently. They also have people with special abilities here, but those people do not have as terrifying strength as Wang Tao.

"This is not a superpower, it's considered an 'awakening', a new ability that superpowers acquire after they are promoted to the fourth level."

Wang Tao explained with a smile.

"Awaken! Oh my god, you're already at level 4!"

Qu Shilin was shocked by Wang Tao again. Several of the superpowers in their team were still at level one, and it was very difficult to advance to level two, but Wang Tao was already at level four! Is this still the same apocalypse? If only he could be studied...

Qu Shilin took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello, my name is Qu Shilin! When are we leaving?"

Wang Tao and Qu Shilin shook hands. Looking at Qu Shilin's shining eyes, Wang Tao knew what she was thinking, so he said:

"Don't even think about it. I won't let you do any research. But I can find you some people with special abilities, or even mutant beasts, to study."

"Uh……"

Qu Shilin felt a little embarrassed that her little thoughts were exposed. However, she felt that Wang Tao seemed to be very familiar with her and could even guess what she was thinking, but she had never seen him before...

"Notify the others to get ready. I'll take you away now."

Qu Shilin and the others were in the suburbs, where there were not many zombies, so they could be driven directly to the airport.

"it is good!"

After Qu Shilin nodded, Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly took out a stack of paper documents and handed them to Qu Shilin.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you."

"This is... the formula for making the zombie virus serum!"

Qu Shilin's eyes were full of disbelief. Someone has already developed this thing?
As she excitedly flipped through the contents quickly, she suddenly paused at a certain place and looked at Wang Tao with a look of surprise on her face.

"T-time goes back?!"

"Huh?" (End of chapter)
