Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 356 The team is missing!
Winter world,

Chen Wang returned here and saw the dark sky filled with yellow sand.

Looking around, the surrounding steel buildings and the modern facilities in the room made me feel dazed.

"I have been concentrating on training during this period. I don't know how Winter is doing."

He stretched himself, changed into winter clothes, and then lay down on the soft leather sofa and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Old Wang is extremely disdainful of practicing evil methods, and he also mentioned that people will do some stupid things when their lifespan is almost over."

"Could it be that he knows something and is pointing it at me?"

This thought emerged in Chen Wang's mind.
But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and put the idea aside for the time being.

He drank the liquor in the glass, then stood up and went to the office building.

Many people saw him and saluted him, and Chen Wang nodded in response.

As soon as he sat down in the spacious and bright office, someone came to see him.

This is a young clerk wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He works for Mr. Wang.

After seeing Chen Wang, he said, "Chief Chen, you are finally here. I have been unable to contact you during this period."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"The team under your command has lost contact since entering Dongdao Lake. It has been three days."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows.

"Why did you go to Dongdao Lake?"

Dongdao Lake is extremely dangerous. There are many zombies there, including many high-level zombies.

Moreover, the three major powers and the church seemed to have sent a lot of people there, trying to learn the secrets.

Chen Wang had never been there before because he thought the place was too dangerous.

The young man said, "The headquarters has called on all the major shelters to send out personnel, and Deputy Captain Yanzhi has accepted the mission and is heading there."

Chen Wang asked, "Where is Mr. Wang?"

This young man was a clerk under Mr. Wang, not his personal secretary. It was Mr. Wang who notified him to come and see Chen Wang.

Chen Wang came to a meeting room. There was only an old man in the empty meeting room.

Mr. Wang said, "You are here."

His back is somewhat desolate.

Chen Wang frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, why did you mobilize my team for the mission at Dongdao Lake when I was away?"

Old Wang sighed and said, "I was the one being targeted in this matter, and you are just an innocent innocent."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

Wang Lao said: "My power is too great. I was able to suppress a special agent sent by the headquarters. However, some people could not hold back. They wanted me to be transferred to another position to weaken my power."

"Your team has completed several major missions in succession and is very famous. It was also affected because of me."

The mission to Dongdao Lake is extremely dangerous. Even if a third-level warrior goes there, the mortality rate is very high.

Chen Wang understood what Mr. Wang meant.
Power struggles have been going on since ancient times, weakening the opponent's power and strengthening one's own strength.

But when Chen Wang looked at Mr. Wang's back, he didn't quite believe what he said.

Although they both have the surname Wang, Mr. Wang and Old Wang give him completely different feelings.

Chen Wang fished out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a deep puff.
"Mr. Wang, as long as the price is right, I can do a lot of things, but I can't accept others playing tricks on me."

Chen Wang took a puff of cigarette and said lightly.

Mr. Wang turned around and said, "You don't believe what I said?"

Chen Wang shrugged.

He held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Mr. Wang calmly.

Mr. Wang said, "Do you think I sent them there on purpose?"

Chen Wang said, "Isn't it? There are so many assignments from the headquarters. Do you have to obey them every time? Won't you fight back?"

Wang Lao smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to, but this time the people who targeted me were several high-ranking officials at the headquarters. I am the person in charge of a regional shelter, so I am very passive in the face of them."

Wang Laodao: "I hope you understand my situation. I have sent someone to contact you as soon as possible, but I couldn't find you."

Chen Wang took a deep puff of cigarette: "Okay, I'm going to go to Dongdao Lake, at least to take a look."

Elder Wang said, "We have already discussed the matter of Dongdao Lake. This place is very dangerous. Your team is very powerful, but now their whereabouts are unknown. You should be mentally prepared for this."

Chen Wang nodded: "As the captain, I have always been a hands-off boss. If something happens, I have to go and take a look."

Mr. Wang asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Chen Wang glanced at Mr. Wang and said, "Go to the armory and get me some equipment, and then we'll set off directly."

Mr. Wang nodded and felt relieved.

Chen Wang was in a hurry to go there and did not investigate the matter first, which proved that Chen Wang still believed in himself.

Elder Wang said, "You can take whatever equipment you want from the armory."

Chen Wang nodded.

Then he turned and left the meeting room.

Mr. Wang sat alone in the conference room and didn't speak for a long time.

This old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life and is extremely good at power struggles appears to be rough and abusive on the surface, but in fact he is very delicate in mind.

If anyone saw this calm state at this moment, they would be surprised.

After Chen Wang left, he went to the armory to collect a lot of equipment.

He was indeed not polite.

High-explosive grenades, howitzers, flash bombs, these are all modified special bullets.
Especially the high-explosive grenades, Chen Wang used them very skillfully.

A lot of supplies were collected this time, including dozens of guns of all sizes, and high-explosive grenades directly into the air.

Such a generous gesture moved the warehouse management staff.

I repeatedly checked Mr. Wang’s authorization letter, fearing that the other party was an imposter.

Mr. Wang was quite generous in this regard. He agreed to whatever equipment Chen Wang wanted to use and how much he wanted.

Chen Wang was sitting in a big car with a lot of equipment around him placed in the car.

The driver was a middle-aged man with a lot of driving experience.

In addition, there were several soldiers, all well-trained elites, traveling with Chen Wang.

Chen Wang sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and a cigarette in his mouth.

He looked lazy and didn't have the aura of a wolf or a tiger.

Several soldiers were watching him, fearing that this guy might accidentally detonate the bombs on the truck.
But at the same time, they were also looking at Chen Wang curiously.

This is the most famous young man in recent times, like a god of death.

Chen Wang finished smoking a cigarette, and the young soldier quickly handed him an ashtray and put out the cigarette in it.

Chen Wang smiled at him.

The young soldier was more than flattered to see his idol smiling at him so warmly.

What Mr. Wang said needs to be verified.

He had taken the initiative to express his doubts earlier, and it was also to give Mr. Wang a chance to explain.

In this way, there will be less grudges between the two of them, and he will be able to do things more smoothly.

However, Chen Wang had his own opinion about what Mr. Wang said, that it was the headquarters who summoned him in order to undermine his power.

"Is it a last resort, or is it to go with the flow and try to complete the matter of Dongdao Lake and increase their bargaining chips?"

"They even sent my team there first, using it as an inducement to persuade me."

Many thoughts emerged in Chen Wang's mind.

If he were Mr. Wang, in his position, he would probably do the same.

Whether you want to go further or want to take advantage of the opportunity to turn the situation around after being under external pressure, doing so is the best arrangement.

.........

Chen Wang came to Dongdao Lake and met a person in charge of Qiongqi Mining. He was a professional soldier in his thirties, with a strong build. Although he was wearing ordinary soldier's clothes, he was the highest-ranking officer here.

After receiving Chen Wang, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Wang: "Hello, my name is Du Zhong."

Chen Wang also stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Hello, my name is Chen Wang."

They exchanged names.

This young man named Du Zhong did not have any official airs.

Chen Wang was a professional specially sent to handle the Dongdao Lake incident.
He then told Chen Wang the details of Dongdao Lake in great detail.

"This used to be a large industrial park with hospitals around it and hundreds of thousands of people living here, but it later fell and the situation became very complicated."

"There are many air-raid shelters underground. There are many zombies in them. They appear and disappear mysteriously. Be careful when you go in."

He described the situation of Dongdao Lake in great detail.

Chen Wang looked at the coordinates and found that the last place where he lost contact with Yanzhi's team was near a building.

"Are there people from other forces here now?"

Chen Wang asked.

Du Zhong said: "At present, only people from Tianqi are here, and people from other forces have not been seen."

"Last time, the church sent a fourth-level soldier named Gao Donglou to purge all the people sent here by the three forces. Maybe there will be more people coming later, but they will go underground."

Chen Wang nodded.

"You may also run into people from the church in there. In short, be careful!"

Du Zhong said.

Chen Wang asked, “What exactly does the government want to gain from this?”

Du Zhong shrugged: "Research materials, specimens... many things. Sometimes I don't quite understand what those officials think."

"Has there been any large-scale human research conducted here before?" Chen Wang said.

Du Zhong smiled and said, "This question is actually quite taboo, especially among officials like us."

Chen Wang raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Du Zhong smiled and said, "Because no one wants to associate genetic research with a zombie outbreak."

“No one wants to take the blame.”

His words were extremely bold, which changed Chen Wang's opinion of this young officer.
"You said it was more taboo, but your words were also very sharp."

Chen Wang looked at him and said.

Du Zhong took out a cigar from his arms and handed one to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang took it and the two of them started smoking cigars here.

There were only a few staff members around, operating some sophisticated instruments.

Du Zhong said as if no one was around: "What exactly is the cause of the winter outbreak? This is the most acute question."

"Where is the source? Have human genetic abilities been developed before the winter?"

Chen Wang smoked a cigar and listened to him quietly.

Du Zhong smiled and looked at the Dongdao Lake outside: "Why are the three major powers and the church staring at this place? Maybe there are shocking secrets here."

He winked at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang shrugged and said, "They chose you to manage the affairs here, not because you have a strong curiosity, right?"

Du Zhong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, now that you put it that way, I am also very skeptical now!"

When Chen Wang was leaving, Du Zhong suddenly stopped him and said, "What would you do if you encountered a level 5 zombie in there?"

He did not ask Chen Wang what happened when he encountered the fourth-level zombie, but he obviously knew some of Chen Wang's battle records.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "Poke his asshole with a steel pipe!"

Du Zhong was stunned, and said mysteriously: "That makes sense."

"The anus is the most vulnerable part of the human body, and perhaps also the most vulnerable part of a level 5 zombie."

Seeing Du Zhong discussing with him seriously, Chen Wang's mouth twitched.
Then leave here.

Chen Wang didn't want to risk the lives of ordinary people, so he chose to drive himself.
The driver in charge of logistics was moved.

"Looking at your age, you have elderly parents and young children to take care of. I met a driver who had the same problem before. I can just go in by myself, otherwise you might not be able to get out."

These words immediately brought tears to the eyes of this forty-something man.

According to the original procedure, he should drive in with Chen Wang, and then evacuate by himself when they reach the destination, but no one can guarantee their safety on the road.

Afterwards, Chen Wang drove a truck loaded with weapons, equipment and ammunition into the Dongdao Lake area alone.

"It's a truck full of weapons and equipment. If Mr. Wang is a bastard with ulterior motives, I'll just take all his supplies for free!"

"No, he's a bastard, I'm going to get him for free this time!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He turned on the navigation and drove all the way in.

Although zombies are not ghosts but living corpses, the places where zombies gather sometimes affect radio waves.

It will make the magnetic field very chaotic.

Chen Wang not only used the navigation system, but also held a paper map in his hand.

You can't go wrong with this thing.

The place we passed through was a ruin, dead silent, and looked frightening.

The sky was gray and gloomy, and driving around these abandoned steel buildings was quite depressing.

He didn't find anything when he first entered, but after Chen Wang drove in for more than ten minutes, he encountered seven or eight zombies.

But he was killed before the zombies got close to him.

"Will there be level 5 zombies in here?"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He realized that Mr. Wang might have different intentions and didn't care that much about the life and death of Yanzhi and others.

But now he is a master in the foundation building stage, and his confidence is much stronger.
Besides, he can travel between the two worlds, so he is not without a way out if he encounters danger.

He had long wanted to come and see Dongdao Lake.

…………

A large vehicle shuttled between the dim and depressing steel buildings.

But at this moment, the truck suddenly stopped, and Chen Wang left the driver's seat. He did not look nervous.

He looked relaxed, with a cigarette between his lips, and he unbuckled his belt and urinated in one place.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely feel their scalp tingling.

It was too leisurely. It didn't look like they were here to do a mission, nor did it look like they were in the Dongdao Lake area where the mortality rate was extremely high.
It's like traveling alone!

After finishing the work, Chen Wang opened the carriage and put the supplies in the car into the storage bag.

"This truckload of equipment will definitely not be used. We have to leave it in here."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

Put it in the storage bag so it won't go to waste.

So his car became empty.

Chen Wang only had an imitation AA12 shotgun left.

The modified gun is extremely powerful and is known as the king of close combat. He uses it very smoothly.

In addition, there is a backpack of high-explosive grenades, which are powerful and easy to operate.
You can also throw it out while driving.

Then Chen Wangcai drove the empty truck deeper into the area.

"Dongdao Lake, here I come!"

Chen Wang smiled.
