Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

The more Ming Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and she could hardly contain her excitement.

She immediately found several close and trustworthy colleagues and told them about her experience and this bold speculation.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Zhang Wei might be a key figure in the virus research.

After a brief discussion, everyone agreed that they must find Zhang Wei in this dangerous environment no matter what, as he might be the hope for saving this zombie-infested world.

Therefore, the team adjusted their course of action again, heading to the building where Shen Ying had previously been to find Zhang Wei, with a new mission.

Shen Ying and Ming Xiaoxiao hurried to the building, carefully exploring the route Shen Ying had taken before, until they arrived at the office door where Shen Ying had met Zhang Wei.

However, all that met the eye was an empty corridor and a silent room; Zhang Wei was nowhere to be found.

Shen Ying's brows furrowed tightly into a "川" shape, her heart filled with doubt and worry: Where could he possibly run off to?

After discussion, the group decided to conduct a full search of the surrounding area.

They divided into several groups, keeping a short distance between each other, and slowly advanced while looking out for one another.

Just then, a chilling growl shattered the silence, and then a horde of zombies swarmed out from every dark corner.

Shen Ying quickly picked up a baseball bat that had been left behind from the corner, gripped it tightly in both hands, and although her palms were already soaked with sweat, she still tried to muster her courage.

A security guard next to them shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Form a circle and protect each other!" The crowd moved at his call and quickly moved together.

"I've never encountered this situation before," a researcher wearing glasses said nervously. "What should we do?"

Another, older researcher calmly replied, "As we just discussed, we cooperate to attack the zombies' heads, which are their weak points."

The battle broke out instantly. Shen Ying swung her baseball bat, forcefully striking at the oncoming zombies, each blow filled with trembling determination.

"Bang!" The baseball bat slammed heavily into a zombie's arm, temporarily halting its attack.

"Two zombies are approaching from the left!" someone shouted a warning.

The two security personnel used their professional skills to move nimbly along the edge of the group, accurately kicking down any approaching zombies and relieving pressure on everyone.

As the battle progressed, the group gradually developed a tacit understanding. Some were responsible for observing the surrounding movements and reporting the location of the zombies in a timely manner; some were specifically tasked with attacking the zombies that broke through the defenses; and others provided support from the rear, replacing injured or exhausted comrades.

Despite the harrowing ordeal and the increasingly fierce attacks from the zombies, they persevered through sheer willpower and teamwork.

After a long and fierce battle, they finally discovered a weakness in the zombie horde and worked together to break through in that direction.

Everyone gave it their all, their clothes soaked with sweat, and their faces splattered with the filth and blood of zombies.

Finally, they managed to break through the zombie encirclement, collapsing to the ground, exhausted and panting heavily, with the building shrouded in the aura of death behind them.

After finding nothing in the building, Shen Ying, Ming Xiaoxiao, and the others were filled with disappointment and had no choice but to return to the temporary safe zone.

Throughout the journey, everyone remained silent, the atmosphere as oppressive as the calm before a storm.

After a brief rest in the safe zone, they were unwilling to give up and organized another search operation, heading back to the building of the research center.

But fate always seems to play tricks on people. Even after they searched every corner, Zhang Wei was nowhere to be found, as if he had completely evaporated from this apocalypse.

Exhaustion and frustration were written on everyone's faces, and they could only drag their heavy steps back empty-handed once again.

Shen Ying thought to herself, if she had known that Zhang Wei was the person she was looking for, she would have brought him to the female lead no matter what.

Two days later, the temporary safe zone was shrouded in a deathly silence, with people silently holding on amidst exhaustion and unease.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of car engines, approaching from afar, shattered the tranquility like a surging wave.

Everyone was taken aback at first, then their eyes flashed with surprise and anticipation, and they poured out from their temporary residences or defensive posts, craning their necks to wait.

A well-equipped, large army slowly approached along a dilapidated and desolate road. The metal shells of the vehicles gleamed with a cold, hard luster in the dim sunlight, and dust kicked up by the wheels filled the air.

The leading officer sat in an open-top jeep, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his military uniform impeccably clean and dignified, without a single wrinkle or stain.

His face was like the most perfect work of art by a sculptor, with strong lines and distinct features.

His deep eyes held a firm and sharp gaze, as if they could pierce through the thick fog of this apocalyptic world and discern all the hidden dangers and secrets.

As the jeep pulled up in front of the group, the officer nimbly jumped out, his feet landing with a steady thud.

He first greeted everyone with a standard military salute, and then said in a loud and clear voice: "Hello everyone, I am Colonel Lin Yu, and I have come here on orders from my superiors."

Please do not worry, we will do everything we can to ensure your safety and guide you safely to the survivor base.

His voice echoed in the temporary safe zone, carrying an unquestionable firmness and determination, which eased the tension in people's hearts and made them feel as if they had seen a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

Colonel Lin Yu's words ignited a flame of hope in everyone's hearts, and the originally dull and oppressive atmosphere in the safe zone instantly became more lively.

People gathered around, their eyes filled with gratitude and anticipation for the arrival of the army.

Colonel Lin Yu quickly summoned the security zone leaders and relevant personnel to a makeshift meeting room.

The indoor lighting was dim and flickering, and the people sat around a mottled long table with solemn expressions.

Colonel Lin Yu, his eyes sharp, began, "First, tell us in detail about the current distribution of zombies and the status of our safe zone's defenses. This is crucial for planning subsequent operations."

The group immediately began to discuss, with someone pointing to a simple map and reporting with a furrowed brow the density and activity patterns of the zombies in various areas: "There are a large number of zombies near the abandoned factory in the East District, and they are spreading to the surrounding areas, while the zombies in the old city of the South District are more scattered but hidden in the ruins and are not easy to detect."

Some expressed concern about the weaknesses in the defensive fortifications: "The protective fence in the southwest corner has been damaged in several places due to the previous zombie attacks and urgently needs to be repaired. Although the watchtower in the north has a wide field of vision, it lacks sufficient firepower."

As everyone reported, Colonel Lin Yu took careful notes and pondered the situation.

At this moment, Ming Xiaoxiao slowly stood up, her body trembling slightly, her eyes filled with an indescribable complex emotion.

"Colonel, I have something extremely important to report."

Her voice was hoarse and dry, as if every word carried immense pain.

"When the zombie crisis broke out, I couldn't escape my fate. I was bitten by a zombie and then I became a zombie."

In my zombified state, I bit Zhang Wei, but strangely enough, I regained my normal consciousness and my body returned to normal.

But Zhang Wei turned into a zombie as a result and is now missing.

We cannot ignore this phenomenon. I strongly suspect that even if Zhang Wei were to become a zombie, he would still hold the key to developing a vaccine.

Perhaps it was his unique constitution that caused a peculiar interaction with the virus in my body, leading to the changes in us.

If he cannot be found soon, with the continuous spread and mutation of zombies, the future of the entire world will be unimaginable. Countless innocent lives will perish in this catastrophe, and civilization will be destroyed.

Colonel Lin Yu listened quietly, his deep gaze like a deep, dark pool. The information Ming Xiaoxiao revealed caused a momentary sense of gravity to flash across the bottom of that pool.

He knew that this mission was more complicated than before, as it not only required the safe evacuation of survivors, but Zhang Wei's situation also concerned the future of the entire zombie crisis.

He placed his hands on the table, his fingers unconsciously tightening slightly, as he began to formulate a new plan in his mind.

On the one hand, it is necessary to formulate the safest and most efficient evacuation routes and plans based on the distribution of zombies and the defense situation of the safe zone, and to rationally allocate military forces to protect survivors;

On the other hand, while the evacuation operation is underway, a full-scale search for Zhang Wei must be conducted based on the clues provided by Ming Xiaoxiao.

We must not let go of any opportunity that might lead to the development of a vaccine and the saving of the world, just as people groping in the dark must grasp at the only lifeline in time.

“Zhang Wei’s situation is extremely special. He is likely the key to vaccine research, and we must find him as soon as possible.”

Colonel Lin Yu tilted his head slightly, his gaze sweeping firmly over the surrounding crowd. His voice was deep and powerful, like a resounding bell, echoing through the crowd and striking the hearts of everyone, making them deeply aware of the urgency of this mission.

Colonel Lin Yu then quickly made arrangements.

His resolute face and composed demeanor instilled great confidence and strength in the soldiers around him.

The soldiers stood tall and moved in perfect unison, like a group of well-trained cheetahs, agile and efficient.

The photocopier hummed as it quickly copied Zhang Wei's photos, which were then distributed to each team involved in the search.

"Everyone, examine the photos carefully. Once you spot the target, report immediately. There must be no mistakes!" Colonel Lin Yu stepped forward, his posture ramrod straight, and issued the order.

His eyes were like a sharp steel knife, revealing an unquestionable determination. His gaze seemed to penetrate the soul of every soldier, deeply imprinting the order in their hearts.

Each team accepted their orders and set off, their steps firm and powerful, their eyes rekindling with the flame of hope.

They embarked once again on the arduous journey to find Zhang Wei.

This time, with the strong support of the military, the hope that was originally as faint as a candle flickering in the wind seemed to have gained a bit more brightness and determination, like the dawn breaking.
