7 Radio

Zhou Bai originally thought Dr. Zhuang would have some countermeasures. Unexpectedly, he said something like this.

"Pray that we have good luck and don't get discovered... We... are already the last hope of humanity." Dr. Zhuang patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder and then left.

Zhou Bai watched Dr. Zhuang's somewhat lonely figure, combined with the cat that appeared yesterday, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "A monster? If the white cat's true form is in the base, does Dr. Zhuang know... or not?"

With this thought in mind, Zhou Bai couldn't help but think, "Should I tell him about the cat?"

Whether it was the white cat or the auxiliary system it brought, they were both too suspicious and were closely related to Zhou Bai's current situation, making him unable to help but doubt the other's intentions. After all, he believed there were no free lunches in this world.

And Dr. Zhuang was even more suspicious. Whether it was the underground base, the rumors of apocalypse, or the strange demon class, they all exuded an evil aura.

"Tell Dr. Zhuang everything? Or should I find that cat which might be a monster by myself?"

Thinking it over and over, Zhou Bai made up his mind. "There are too few clues; I'd better look for it myself for now. At least if I can use this auxiliary system, it can provide more self-protection."

Just then, Zhou Bai felt his shoulder being heavily hit. A boy nearly six feet tall walked past him with an indifferent expression.

Elsa came over and called, "Hey! Ban Du, what are you doing! Don't you watch where you're walking?"

The boy called Ban Du turned his head, glaring coldly at Elsa and Zhou Bai. "If you don't want to get hit, then don't stand in my way."

Watching Ban Du's departing figure, Zhou Bai twitched the corners of his mouth. "Damn, this kid is really arrogant."

Elsa angrily stomped her feet, watching Ban Du leave and shouted, "If we're in your way, you could have said something!"

"The key issue isn't that," Zhou Bai said helplessly, patting Elsa on the shoulder. "Alright Elsa, let's go eat."

Mentioning eating made Elsa's eyes light up immediately. She quickly forgot about the unpleasantness and happily followed Zhou Bai to the canteen.

The two of them got their meals and sat down. Zhou Bai pondered the next plan.

"I've basically been through the living areas on the second and third underground floors. If that cat is indeed in the base, it should be on the fourth or fifth underground floor?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai asked, "Elsa, have you been to all the places inside the base? Have you been to the fourth and fifth underground floors?"

Elsa kept her head down, eating the synthesized nutrient paste in her bowl, seemingly not hearing what Zhou Bai said.

Zhou Bai asked several times again, seeing that Elsa still didn't seem to hear, he directly took her bowl away, only to see Elsa stretching her head, following the moving bowl with her mouth.

"This guy..." Zhou Bai had already figured out Elsa's quirks these days and simply waited until she finished eating before asking again.

Elsa replied, "When we helped the teacher move things before, we went to the fourth underground floor. We haven't been to the fifth floor, only the teacher can go there."

Next, Elsa slowly told Zhou Bai what she saw on the fourth floor.

Meanwhile, Alice sat silently on a chair behind Zhou Bai, listening to their conversation with a thoughtful look on her face.

A few days after the demon class ended, when Dr. Zhuang called out a few students to help him move things, Zhao Yao volunteered himself.

A dozen students followed Dr. Zhuang to the fourth underground floor. In front of Zhou Bai appeared a huge warehouse, with various materials neatly categorized that the base required.

With Dr. Zhuang assigning tasks one by one, the students each went to different places to carry items up repeatedly.

After Zhou Bai carried two boxes of items up, he returned to get more. Looking around to make sure no one noticed him, he headed towards the deeper part of the warehouse.

"First, check if the fourth floor has anything. If not, I can only find a way to the lab on the fifth underground floor."

Zhou Bai walked down the corridor lined with rows of supplies, seeing a large amount of nutrient paste, compressed biscuits, pure water, various medicines, medical devices, and common tools...

"Doesn't seem to have anything special..." Zhou Bai paused his steps, seeing a bunch of old devices on an empty spot.

"This is..." Zhou Bai picked up a cylindrical object, fiddling with it while guessing, "Is this a flashlight?"

The next moment, his eyes lit up, grabbing a small appliance nearby, "This looks a bit like a radio."

Zhou Bai tried pressing the switch, finding no response.

"Is it broken? Or out of battery?" Zhou Bai rummaged around and actually found two batteries from an appliance.

Putting the batteries into the radio, Zhou Bai turned it on again, immediately hearing static noise from the radio.

After tuning several frequencies without hearing any human voices, Zhou Bai suddenly realized, "This is underground, probably no signal..."

Just when Zhou Bai felt disappointed, the sound from the radio in his hand suddenly steadied.

"This is the Heaven Rescue Team, this is the Heaven Rescue Team."

"We are rescuing humans worldwide."

"Survivors who receive this message, please..."

Zhou Bai was shocked, staring at the radio in his hand, but the voice disappeared halfway, replaced by static noise again. No matter how Zhou Bai adjusted it, he couldn't get the previous voice back.

Just then, a soft clang sounded behind him. Zhou Bai turned nervously, seeing Alice standing not far behind him, having accidentally kicked an iron pipe.

Seeing Zhou Bai looking over, Alice put her finger to her lips. "Shh, don't be nervous, I won't tell the teacher."

"You just... heard?" Zhou Bai asked.

Alice nodded, "Actually, I've always doubted the so-called apocalypse. There are some things you might want to see."

Zhou Bai followed Alice to a corner of the warehouse, finding rows of bookshelves. His eyes lit up, quickly walking over. "Chinese... Math... Chemistry... Physics... Are they all knowledge-based books?"

Alice said from the side, "Take a look at this."

Alice opened a book and took out a sheet of paper from it, handing it to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai took the paper and saw it was filled with writing.

"Don't open the door, he just wants to eat us..."

"It hurts... My chest hurts more and more, something is going to come out..."

"Jack is missing too, he must have been eaten... What do we do?"
