Excessive ferocity due to caution

After successfully getting the infected to leave, Zhao Yi followed the remaining surviving super soldiers back to the eastern test site.

Inside the vehicle, many people, unable to bear the heat, took off their protective clothing and helmets, enjoying the normal temperature inside the vehicle.

"Hey? 1234, why are you still wearing your battle suit? Aren't you hot?"

A soldier watched as Zhao Yi sat upright in the car, gun in hand, and couldn't help but pat Zhao Yi's leg.

The other soldiers who had narrowly escaped death couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhao Yi's appearance:

"You're always the most unruly kid, touching this thigh one minute and patting that butt the next..."

"What's wrong? Are you pretending to be serious in front of everyone now?"

Zhao Yi remained unmoved.

The soldier next to him frowned and was about to reach out to pull off Zhao Yi's clothes when the car door was suddenly opened.

The soldiers suddenly froze.

The squad leader who came in looked at everyone in the carriage and couldn't help but shout angrily:

"Look at you all!"

"What do you mean by 'like'?"

"Get the hell out of here and put your clothes on!"

"If those infected outside come after you, you're all doomed!"

"Learn from 1234, see how others do it!"

Zhao Yi immediately stood up and bowed slightly to the squad leader.

The crowd looked embarrassed and frightened, and began to frantically put on their clothes.

The squad leader looked Zhao Yi over carefully, then suddenly said:

"1, 2, 3, 4, come with me."

Zhao Yi didn't say anything more after hearing this, and followed the squad leader away from the armored vehicle.

We got to the very first car.

Once inside the vehicle, the squad leader locked the doors.

The space inside felt much more spacious.

Because besides the driver, only a few squad leaders were sitting there.

"Your squad leader has been killed by an infected person, and someone needs to temporarily take his place... I noticed you were quite alert earlier. Would you be willing to take over as squad leader of Group A?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"Of course I'm willing."

The group nodded.

"Then we'll submit the documents to our superiors."

Zhao Yi touched the scalpel in his pocket and asked calmly:

"Do you need to retrieve my information?"

The squad leader of Team D, who was responsible for liaising with superiors, paused for a moment, then said:

"Of course...no need."

"1234, have you lost your mind?"

"From the moment we joined the Black Disaster Squad, all our data was linked to our identification numbers."

Zhao Yi nodded slightly;

"Feel sorry."

"The battle just now was extremely dangerous; my brain is still a bit short of blood flow..."

The squad leader of Team D waved his hand and explained the situation to his superiors.

Not long after, Zhao Yi (ID 1234) was promoted to squad leader of Team A.

...

Leave the city.

In a makeshift medical tent, the injured infected people were carried back.

Their injuries healed relatively quickly.

Between the flesh and blood, a faint, eerie green flame burned.

As these flames burn, they rapidly heal their injuries.

The injured infected person was pale and did not feel relaxed despite the healing of his injuries.

They knew it very well.

This power to heal injuries comes at the cost of overdrawing one's own lifespan!

One of the infected individuals was placed on a clean white mattress.

His chest had many scars.

Each wound was covered with fine tentacles!

The infected people around felt a fear ingrained in their DNA when they saw these tentacles, and couldn't help but stay away.

Soon after…

The dragon walked in.

He looked at the tentacles on the infected person's chest, his expression a mixture of excitement and solemnity...

"What happened?"

He asked Sudi.

Sudi recounted the events that had transpired to Long in detail.

The latter frowned and pondered.

"He gestured for you to leave...which means he knew you were going to rescue him."

"To deduce that we were going to rescue him based solely on one sentence from you, this guy is frighteningly intelligent..."

"But...why did he infiltrate those Black Disaster squads?"

Sudi replied:

"Is he seeking revenge?"

The dragon squinted:

"He has no memory."

"How can you talk about revenge when you don't even know who harmed him?"

After a pause, the dragon asked again:

"Oh, right..."

"Did you see Wang Chui and his group on your way there?"

Sudi shook his head.

"I didn't see it."

"The other two test subjects are also missing."

"If they've already been sent to the Eastern Test Site... well, they're just unlucky."

She wanted to kill the transported test subjects en route, on Dragon's orders.

Although the dragon didn't explain the reason, they all knew it in their hearts.

The dragon softened its heart.

He did not want the people in his city to suffer unnecessary torment.

Being sent to such a testing ground... it would be better to die!

Looking at the weak, infected patient in the hospital bed, Long suddenly said:

"Not that fast."

"Unless those people at the Eastern Test Site send a convoy to pick them up... but they won't do that."

"There are eight cities near Pulse City that are similar to Li City, and they are responsible for providing experimental subjects to Pulse City."

"The Black Disaster Squad will do everything in their power to protect the testing ground."

"The fact that these people went to find the experimental subject Zhao Yi means that they already know that Zhao Yi has obtained the power of the Forgotten Walker."

"Otherwise, they would never have left the Eastern Test Site."

The dragon turned around, its gaze distant.

"Judging by the time, you should be able to run into Wang Chui and his group on the road..."

"But you didn't run into them."

"So... their trip was delayed because of something."

"And it's not on the right path."

Having followed Long for so long, Sudi immediately understood what Long meant:

"General, are you saying... the remaining two test subjects also escaped?"

The dragon nodded.

"This is the most likely possibility..."

"However, this actually put our special plan on hold."

"After all, that letter is currently with Wang Chui. If he doesn't deliver it to Pulse City, all our preparations over the years will have been in vain..."

PS: This chapter has 2000 characters excluding PS.

Here's a brief update on the current situation:

I had a gastroscopy this Tuesday. After the procedure, I rested for two days, but my esophagus started to become inflamed due to damage from the endoscopy.

Last night I accidentally turned on the air conditioner too much, and this morning it sprayed out three or four times. I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to the clinic and got some medicine.

I've stopped spraying now, but my stomach and intestines are starting to feel uncomfortable again, and my esophagus stings when I swallow saliva.

I've started having headaches because of the medication I took from the clinic.

The pain of a high fever.

I took my temperature, and I didn't have a fever, so it must be a problem with the medication.

The buff is fully stacked.

The situation report is complete.

There's one more chapter today.

Take care of yourselves, everyone.
