Buzz!
Above the night sky of Hengshan Pass, the Silver Hawk D-type flying device swiftly darted across the city skyline.
"Does Hu Lushou really know the location of that research institute, or were you just guessing?" On the road, KIKI was very curious.
Lin Xian took a deep breath: "Didnât you notice that the main vehicles in his convoy were all standard SU65 wheeled armored vehicles? Although they were repainted, at first, I thought they were assets from the Federationâs transport ships. But later, I realized they werenât. In fact, the model of the armored vehicle Hu Lushou was using was the same as the one Hua Xiaoling from the SIID Foundation Research Institute was in. I noticed this during the day and thought it was a coincidence. Now there are at least four or five similar vehicles in his camp, so itâs not a coincidence. Therefore, Hu Lushou definitely has some connection with that SIID Foundation Research Institute!"
Upon hearing this, KIKI frowned a bit: "This research institute is so mysterious. Wonât we get into trouble if we approach it?"
Lin Xian shook his head: "Hu Lushou didnât deny the crash of the Yunxiang Transport Ship. Heâs from the Original Federation, and even Federation transport ships arenât aware of such a place, indicating that this foundation has nothing to do with the Federation, nor with the organization that attacked us today. Now, Brother Huo and Shu Qin are seriously injured, and thereâs no other way but to take a gamble and seek their help."
From an emotional standpoint, he could only choose to trust what Hua Xiaoling said at this moment. They were neutral parties, and, regardless of the circumstances, for survivalâs sake, it was the only option.

The speed of the flying device was much faster than that of the cars and motorcycles. In no time, it had flown out of Hengshan Pass City. Under the faint moonlight of the night, the vast expanse of Shijiu Lake was still visible. Lin Xian, with a serious look, said nothing. Soon, they arrived above Qingshui Town again, and Lin Xian directly instructed KIKI to head towards the southern track.
Crack Crack~
On a railway track in the distance from Qingshui Town, the Infinity, having broken through the zombie horde, lay quietly docked. The communication range during the night diminished greatly, and it wasnât until Lin Xian got within a few kilometers that communication was restored.
"Dalou, Shu Qin, take Brother Huo and Sha Sha with us, and the others stay with the car!"
"Alright!"
Dalou directly picked up Lu Xingchen. Shu Qinâs injuries werenât too severe, so she also carried Sha Sha into the car.
Soon, KIKI and Lin Xian parked the flying device next to the Infinity and switched to motorcycles. As the terrain was unknown, he didnât want to end up like the Yunxiang, inexplicably crashing.
This Silver Hawk D-type flying device was an excellent flying vehicle. It wasnât large, and its retractable wings allowed it to be stowed. Lin Xian considered modifying the roof of carriage 12, making it convenient to park the flying device inside. After all, the space occupied by room 1130 wasnât much, leaving plenty of room available.
On the Infinity, Dalou also drove off and, following the motorcycles, headed nonstop towards the southeast of Qingshui Town.
After traveling two kilometers southeast from Qingshui Town, a dense forest appeared, looking grim and terrifying in the night, with branches stretching out menacingly.
"Iâll go in front. Keep a distance from us, and prioritize your safety if anything happens!"
Lin Xian said over the communicator to Dalou and Shu Qin.
In the rear vehicles, only those two were still combat-capable.
"Understood, Captain Lin." Shu Qin watched as Lin Xianâs motorcycle entered the dark woods, her expression becoming serious. She completely ignored her abdominal wound and picked up a gun, disengaging the safety.
Buzz!
As the off-road vehicle charged into the woods, numerous branches instantly battered the windshield, making a clattering noise. The road was uneven, impairing vision entirely. The headlights swayed through the deep forest, and amid their cautious dash through the dense foliage, the road ahead suddenly smoothed out as if entering a standard highway.
Lin Xian was the first to rush out on his motorcycle. As he looked up, he immediately hit the brakes.
Screech~
The motorcycle skidded to a halt. Lin Xian, with a look of surprise, gazed ahead, seeing the silhouette of a small town emerging in the night.
And that small town seemed very familiar to Lin Xian.
"Qingshui Town?"
"Hey, it really is!" KIKI also realized at this moment.
Lin Xianâs expression turned serious: "No, this isnât Qingshui Town."
The biggest difference here compared to Qingshui Town was that the wrecked transport ship was nowhere to be seen.
Besides that, all the streets, houses, and the townâs style were exactly the same.
"Whatâs going on? How can there be two identical towns?"
KIKI was dumbfounded, watching this scene.
Earlier, Lin Xian thought he might have gone the wrong way. How did they end up in another town after coming out of the black forest?
Upon closer inspection, he finally noticed something.
The strangest thing was that, upon scanning the area, there were no zombies in sight. The entire Qingshui Town was enveloped in an eerie silence under the night sky.
"Could it be fake?" Lin Xian said: "Letâs check it out first. It might be some kind of deception."
Buzz~
Just then, Dalouâs vehicle roared as it burst out of the dense forest. Lin Xian turned back, pressing the communicator: "How are Brother Huo and Sha Sha?"
"Not good." Shu Qin glanced back, her expression serious: "There are no signs of Brother Huoâs wounds healing, and Sha Sha definitely has internal bleeding, and her breathing is very weak at the moment."
