Chapter 95: Search

Xiao Junxie didn’t hesitate.

He took the mask, looked at it, smiled and hung it around his neck with a string.

Seeing this, Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan looked at each other and smiled.

“Welcome to the team.” Qin Wu said, extending her hand for Xiao Junxie to shake.

“Thank you.” The man said.

“Sit down.” Mo Chenxuan invited and quickly continued when Xiao Junxie sat down.

“I want you to build an army for us.” He said.

“Build an army?” Xiao Junxie was shocked.

He didn’t know what he was expecting to hear but this was not it.

After all, they were in an apocalypse and resources were scarce.

Even if he managed to recruit enough people to build an army, where would he get the resources to train and feed them?

“Can you do it?” Mo Chenxuan asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.

“Young master Mo…” Xiao Junxie started in a hesitant voice.

A moment later, he looked at Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu with a solemn expression.

“Recruiting people is not difficult. However, training, housing and feeding them will require a lot of supplies.”

“Can you do it if you have enough supplies?” Qin Wu asked and Xiao Junxie immediately nodded.

“I used to be a special force solider but I transitioned into an army instructor several months before the apocalypse. I am confident I can build a powerful army given enough resources.”

Mo Chenxuan nodded when he heard this.

“I want you to write a proposal based on the assumption that there is no shortage of supplies. We can begin the project as soon as you have a feasible plan.” The man said and Qin Wu nodded before speaking.

“Keep a low profile while doing things.” She warned and Xiao Junxie nodded.

Building an army was not a simple matter.

If the leadership discovered that a team was building an army, things would get very hairy.

For that reason, everything had to be kept quiet until team Legends could stand on its own and protect its interests.

“I understand.” Xiao Junxie said.

After discussing a few things, Xiao Junxie left and the couple couldn’t help but smile at each other.

“As expected, he is the right person to build an army for us.” Qin Wu said, looking at Mo Chenxuan with shiny eyes.

“Mmh.” Mo Chenxuan nodded and soon continued.

“It won’t be easy though.”

“It would be a lot easier if we had our own land. I hope the leadership will begin selling land soon.”

Qin Wu sighed when she heard that.

“We can only wait.” She finally said but soon peppered up.

“Brother Chenxuan, let’s find the children.”

“Wu’er…” Mo Chenxuan started with a conflicted expression.

However, Qin Wu didn’t let him finish.

“I know what you want to say.” She said and quickly continued.

“It’s unlikely that the missing children are alive or unharmed. However, I would like to try and find out what happened to them.”

“Alright.” Mo Chenxuan said and reached to take his wife’s hand.

“Let’s do our best.”

Soon after, the two said ’hello’ to uncle and aunt Zhang before leaving villa number eight.

“I will search the villa area again.”

“Okay.” Qin Wu nodded.

Unfortunately, the second and third searches didn’t yield different results.

“They are not in the villa area.” Mo Chenxuan said and Qin Wu nodded.

“Where should we go next?” She asked.

“Research centre.”

“Research centre…” Qin Wu muttered and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

On one hand, the research centre was a mainstay for survival in the apocalypse.

However, it was also one of the biggest sources of evil.

Thinking of several incidents in her previous life, Qin Wu couldn’t help but shudder.

’I hope the children are not in the research centre.’ She thought.

“Let’s go.” Mo Chenxuan said and led the way out of the villa area.

Like Qin Wu, Mo Chenxuan was imagining what he would discover in the research centre.

For this reason, the two didn’t talk along the way.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived fifty metres from the gate of the research centre.

“This is as far as we can go.” Qin Wu said, looking at Mo Chenxuan with raised eyebrows.

“Don’t worry.” Mo Chenxuan said, rubbing Qin Wu’s hair.

“The centre is still within my spiritual sense range.”

While he was speaking, he extended his spiritual sense and began searching the research centre.

The research centre was divided into five main blocks – the technology building, the agriculture building, the biology building, the special research building, and the restricted research building.

“They are not in the technology building.” Mo Chenxuan said after thoroughly searching the building.

“I would be surprised if they were.” Qin Wu chuckled.

Following that, Mo Chenxuan checked the agriculture building but found nothing.

“They are still trying to grow plants on apocalypse soil.” Mo Chenxuan said and sighed in resignation.

Before the apocalypse, humanity believed that effort was enough to understand and conquer most problems.

However, the apocalypse proved them wrong.

By the time of Mo Chenxuan’s rebirth, humanity had yet to develop a cure for the zombie virus or engineer seeds that could grow on apocalypse soil.

Fortunately, the heavens were merciful and didn’t completely abandon earth.

“Who knows?! Maybe things will be different in this life.” Qin Wu shrugged but she wasn’t optimistic.

“It would be good if they were but I am not hopeful.” Mo Chenxuan said and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Although he was reborn, Mo Chenxuan always felt that this life would be the real test.

In that case, things could only be harder and never easier.

’I hope I am overthinking.’ He thought and continued to search the research centre.

Biology building, special research building, restricted research building…

Mo Chenxuan suddenly froze while searching the restricted research building.

Seeing this, Qin Wu immediately became excited.

“Did you find them?” She asked but Mo Chenxuan shook his head.

“I didn’t find them but I found her.” The man said, his eyes filled with unconcealable murderous intent.

When Mo Chenxuan was in his third year of college, the university invited a guest lecturer for a biology seminar.

Although Mo Chenxuan was a finance student, he liked studying so he attended the seminar because he had time.

Unexpectedly, this decision became one of the greatest regrets of his life!

“Her?” Qin Wu asked, worriedly squeezing Mo Chenxuan’s hand.

Feeling the squeeze, the man sighed and forcibly suppressed his irritation.

“Fang Shuangshuang.”

“Bitch!” Qin Wu reflexively cursed but her heart was in pain.

Back in university, Fang Shuangshuang approached Mo Chenxuan to have a baby together.

However, this was not because she liked Mo Chenxuan but because the man was a rare genius.

According to her, only Mo Chenxuan’s genes were worthy of combining with her own.

Luckily, she was a guest lecturer and Mo Chenxuan was an underage student.

In the end, Fang Shuangshuang went overseas and Mo Chenxuan forgot about her.

As a result, she returned several weeks before the apocalypse and had surprisingly not forgotten about him.

That said, in the previous life, she didn’t approach him or alert him to her return.

Because of this, Mo Chenxuan remained ignorant until he was captured and imprisoned in her research laboratory.

Recalling the unbearable days in Fang Shuangshuang’s research laboratory, Mo Chenxuan clenched his hands and gritted his teeth.

“Brother Chenxuan, can I help you kill her?” Qin Wu offered.

Although she didn’t know everything that happened in the five years Mo Chenxuan was imprisoned in Fang Shuangshuang’s research laboratory, she knew enough.

However, even if she didn’t, she would still not let the woman go.

“Thank you, Wu’er.” Mo Chenxuan smiled, rubbing Qin Wu’s hair.

“Brother…”

“Wu’er, I want to explain something.” The man said and Qin Wu raised an eyebrow in question.

“I know you wouldn’t blame me if something happened between me and her. However, I want to explain that nothing did.” He said.

“Really?” Qin Wu asked in an incredulous voice.

After all, Mo Chenxuan was more beautiful than anything she had ever seen.

If it was her, she would never ignore such a specimen for five years.

’Is something wrong with Fang Shuangshuang?’ She wondered.

“Do you think everyone is a pervert?” Mo Chenxuan chuckled and quickly continued.

“She imprisoned me but didn’t seem interested in my body. Maybe she is asexual.”

“That’s the only explanation.” Qin Wu agreed and Mo Chenxuan burst into laughter.

When he calmed down, he looked at Qin Wu with a serious expression.

“Fang Shuangshuang must die. However, now is not the right time.” He said.

“Why?”

“She is still useful to the human cause.”

“But…”

“We also have some important things and can’t spare the time to deal with her for the time being.”

“Alright.” Qin Wu chose not to argue.

However, she planned to keep a very focused eye on Fang Shuangshuang.

“The children are not in the villa area or the research centre. Where else could they be?” Qin Wu couldn’t help but frown.

“Let’s go to zone D.”

“Zone D? Why?”

“Zone E survivors live in tents. It’s highly unlikely that someone is imprisoning more than twenty children there.” Mo Chenxuan started and quickly continued.

“Zone B is full of superpowers and Zone C is the military area. I think it would be too risky to hide people there.”

“You are right.” Qin Wu nodded in agreement.

“Our best bet is zone D or one of the non-residential areas.”

“My thoughts exactly.” Mo Chenxuan said.

Soon after, the two left the vicinity of the research centre and walked towards zone D.

Because zone D was in the outer ring of the base, it took more than twenty minutes for the two to walk from the research centre.

After arriving, Mo Chenxuan didn’t waste time and began searching.

Unexpectedly, thirty seconds into the search, the man clenched his hands and his brows furrowed.

“I have found them.” He said.
