Lin Fen and Colonel Yu followed the sound and saw two small orange-red dots on the water.
"Wow wow... my Binunu..."
Colonel Yu's expression changed slightly: "It's Qin Shen and that little curly-haired boy."
"Qin Shen?" Lin Fen's face darkened. "Didn't I tell the medical station to keep a close eye on him? Why didn't you take him with you during such a big retreat?"
Colonel Yu also frowned. "I'm an A-level guide. When the flood came, I saw him being sent back by the quantum beast. I could also sense that his mental power was fluctuating violently. This is a sign of evolution, not that he's about to turn into a zombie. The medical station probably wasn't sure if he would mutate successfully, so they simply didn't bring him along, just in case."
Lin Fen walked towards the iron ladder: "Qin Shen is evolving. Whether he is a sentinel or a guide, he is extremely valuable to our army. We must not let him get into trouble. That would be a huge loss for us. Yu Yuan, you stay here and watch. I will go pick them up."
Yu Yuan immediately stopped him: "You have to stay and give the order. I'll go pick it up. It's not too far from here—"
He suddenly stopped talking, and a look of doubt and uncertainty appeared on his face.
Lin Fen: “What’s wrong?”
Yu Yuan slowly looked at him: "Just now, I felt that there was a sentinel deep in the passage using his mental power, at least a B-level sentinel."
"B-class sentinel? I'm the only A-class sentinel in the entire army. The other thirty-odd sentinels are all C-class and D-class. And among the more than 500 people in the resettlement site who entered the mutation period, none of them could evolve into a sentinel or a guide. Except for those who recovered and became ordinary people, the rest became zombies."
Yu Yuan said: "That's why I find it strange, but I did sense the mental power of a B-level or higher sentinel just now."
"Then you wait here, I'll go in and take a look."
Yu Yuan was the guide and was very sensitive to the sentinels' mental fluctuations. Lin Fen believed in his judgment and strode into the passage.
The safety passage was like a train tunnel. Although there was an emergency light every few dozen meters, the light was still not very bright. The people evacuated from the beehive walked in the tunnel like a long dragon with no end in sight.
No one was in the mood to talk. Everyone looked anxious. Only an occasional cough or a child's noise could be heard.
A tall man wearing a peaked cap was walking in the crowd. He was wearing a sports suit that didn't fit him well, and his hands were in his trouser pockets. A small part of his wrist was faintly visible from the right trouser pocket, and it turned out to be some kind of metal.
Standing side by side with him was a woman with a headscarf covering most of her face. She had her head slightly lowered, and even her eyes were blocked from view.
"Even if you were discovered, you could have solved the problem with just a knife, but you still used your mental power to kill someone. You knew that Lin Fen and Yu Yuan were both here, and Yu Yuan was an A-level guide, so he would have been able to sense you just by using your mental power, but you actually made such a low-level mistake."
The man in the baseball cap had a low, hoarse voice, but it was filled with cold anger. He was actually Ji Shi, who was in disguise and mixed in with the crowd.
"I'm sorry, Deacon, I forgot that Yu Yuan was also here. I made a big mistake. Please punish me." A'dai lowered his head and admitted his mistake in a low voice.
"You should have alerted Lin Fen. Now, find the kid from the Feng family and get the code box. We can talk about other things later."
