Chapter 317: Chapter 317 The Mission of 80,000 Crystal Cores

"Dr. Pei and his team are locals from S City," Liang Jiuhui said, furrowing his brows. "Before the apocalypse, they went to E City for an academic conference, so they got trapped in E City. I only found out because I received a message someone relayed on his behalf. He mentioned he wants to return to S City but didn't specify why."

If possible, he would also want Dr. Pei and his team to return because Dr. Pei wasn't just a genius in chemical engineering but also a leading figure in biology.

If Dr. Pei and his team could return to the S City base, they wouldn't have to worry about running out of ammunition again. The recent zombie tide had nearly exhausted all the base's ammo reserves.

"Why don't they come back by themselves?" Lu Hao asked.

"They… don't have any special abilities, and it seems Dr. Pei has been put under house arrest," Liang Jiuhui said.
