The villainess is always pretending to be the Virgin Mary - Chapter 56

“Did you find the leader?” Gu Chi leaned in the corner and asked.

Using such a large amount of ability at one go, even if he was already a seventh-level ability user, he couldn’t bear it. He had to find a place to rest first.

“No. Not to mention the zombies that could move freely, I haven’t even found a zombie that has the characteristics of a zombie leader.” 

“Although they were covered with ice, the skin characteristics of the zombies are still obvious. I didn’t find any zombie without corpse features.”

“Well, what about the others?”

“I’ve asked, but there are none, and there are too many zombies, so we can’t find him at all.” Lu Yunfei continued, “However, I just got in touch with Xu Nian, the commander-in-chief of the safety zone, and she said that she would send someone to help.” 

“Send someone to help?” Gu Chi frowned, “What reason?”

The headquarters had no information about the zombie leader. Telling too many people was risky. They hoped that few people knew. He was afraid that the commander there would reveal the secrets of the headquarters because she trusted her subordinates.

“Don’t worry about this, the commander-in-chief said that she will tell them to collect the crystal cores to recover her energy.”

That was indeed a good way. The zombie leader’s crystal core was different from other ordinary zombies. If the leader was really dead, they could also use the crystal core to confirm his identity.

“Well, please let me know if you find anything.”

After getting the answer, Gu Chi put down the communicator.

“Didn’t you find the leader?” Chi Ying held a big sword exchanged from the mall, looked at the rows of frozen zombies waiting for her to chop, very eager to try.

The last time she cut off the head of one of those zombies, she felt a strange sense of relief, which was very relaxing.

“No.”

Gu Chi sat on the ground, leaning against an old tree behind him, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

It was okay if they found the leader, but if they couldn’t find him, things would become troublesome.

They still had a long time to search, so Gu Chi called the other team members over first, and advanced into the safety zone.

“Commander Gu,” Xu Nian greeted them inside the gate with a gun on her back. After seeing Gu Chi, she bowed slightly to show her gratitude.

As the commander-in-chief, Xu Nian had a completely different image from the inherent impression. Most of the time, she was dressed in a capable black suit, with a unique ruffian in her eyes.

She was not young, which added a bit of mature charm to her whole person.

“I’ve already sent someone to collect the crystal cores. You should rest in the safe zone first.” 

“Thank you.”

“Didn’t you come over by car?” She asked suspiciously.

“The car is outside, some team members went to bring it.”

“The search results should come out, and we will know the answer soon.”

She didn’t say the rest of the sentence, but both of them knew what she meant.

An answer about the zombie leader…

Xu Nian brought Gu Chi and the other team members to the emergency meeting room.

“All the zombies have been checked.” She said in a serious tone, “No abnormal crystal core was found.” 

“That is to say…” Song Shi frowned, “The leader is not among them?”

“Looking at the current situation, it is indeed the case. “Xu Nian said with a headache, “This is the situation I was most afraid of. The area outside the safe zone is too big, who could search every inch of the land? From this point of view, it is simply impossible to find the leader.”

“If this is the case, if he gathers zombies again in the future, without the support of the headquarters, we will be powerless to resist.”

Gu Chi was silent for a moment, then said, “I have a question, why did he choose No. 9 safe area?”

Xu Nian replied, “It’s not difficult to imagine. No. 9 safe area is just in the center surrounded by many urban areas, and it is easy to become the leader’s target “

“This leads to another problem…” Gu Chi looked up at her, “The range of signals sent by the zombie leader is limited, and the zombies besieging you came from all directions. Which direction do you think the signals are coming from?”

Xu Nian’s face changed suddenly, “You mean, inside the safe zone?”

“The leader may be nearby. But I think he’s most likely inside the safe zone.”

Whether it was Zhang Bin or Bai Qing, they all had a common characteristic, that was, extreme arrogance. They both liked to mingle with humans as if to prove that they were smarter than humans.

It was quite possible that the new leader had such characteristics.

“Have you registered the information of those who have entered the safe zone recently?” 

“Yes, but there are a lot of people who have entered the safe zone. I’m afraid…” 

“In any case, first delineate the scope of the leader.”

“Understood, I’ll do the statistics right away.”

Gu Chi lowered his eyes, and suddenly felt a nausea of ​​helplessness in his heart.

They didn’t have any means of identifying the leader at all…

The statisticians of the Department of Information listed all the personnel coming and going in the previous two weeks.

After Xu Nian asked people to go, she frowned as she stared at the data, “In the past two weeks, a total of 278 survivors have entered, and only three of them can be ruled out as suspects.” 

“If I get all these 278 people, how will you find the leader?” She asked.

Gu Chi seemed to know the result.

If there was a way to identify the leader, the headquarters should have informed them long ago.

She sat on the chair but didn’t say a word for a long time.

“I can’t drive all these people out, right?” 

It was useless to drive them out. At most it would move the leader from under their noses to a place where they couldn’t see. If the leader wanted to do something, their behavior might cause something tragic.
