Along the way, Daiqin was on guard against Chao Haisheng's sudden attack.

After Chao Haisheng had taken the person he was carrying to the clinic and to the so-called 'dinner' destination, Daiqin stopped in his tracks, his face grim. "Is this the place you were talking about?"

Chao Haisheng said confidently: "Of course."

Seeing his embarrassment, Chao Haisheng patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, don't dwell on these trivial matters. Think positively. Three meals a day here are free."

"You don't have any money on you right now."

Daiqin, who was murdered and heartbroken: "..."

If he had, he wouldn't have done it!

Daiqin regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. If he could do it again, he would never do it even if he starved to death!

Now that I am seriously injured, it is absolutely impossible for me to escape.

Xing Maozhi must have received the news a long time ago and was waiting outside with his men.

Seeing the two of them from a distance, and seeing that they had no intention of going forward, Xing Maozhi led his men over.

After ordering Daiqin to be captured, Xing Maozhi looked at Chao Haisheng and said, "You must be Lord Chao, right? I've long admired you. Seeing you today, I'm convinced you are truly extraordinary and mighty..."

He spoke eloquently and boasted a lot, glancing at Chao Haisheng sideways as he did so.

Why doesn't this person even bother to agree? Doesn't that give him a reason to stop?

Seeing Chao Haisheng's eyes, Xing Maozhi immediately understood that he did it on purpose!

Xing Maozhi didn't indulge him. He took a deep breath, ended the topic on his own, and then seamlessly changed the subject, "What exactly happened at that time? Lord Chao, please tell us in detail."

…

The Imperial Hospital in the Palace.

Du Chen's injuries were serious, his internal organs were slightly ruptured, and he kept vomiting blood. He lay on Xiao Mingye's legs. Xiao Mingye patted his back gently with a tense expression.

After bandaging the wound and giving him medicine, the bleeding finally stopped and Du Chen fell asleep.

Xiao Mingye sat beside the bed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Being used to his usual carefree and cheerful appearance, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he even looked a bit like an emperor with a majestic air.

The imperial doctors couldn't help but be more respectful: "Your Highness, the master needs to rest. Why don't you come with us outside so that we can see you..."

"No need," Xiao Mingye interrupted him, "I'm not injured. You all can go down. I'll stay here."

After he said this, the imperial doctors naturally left one after another.

There was no one around, and Xiao Mingye was angry at the sleeping body. The violent aura on his body could no longer be concealed, but his wiping movements were still extremely gentle, as if he was treating a treasure.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a brief knock on the door. Xiao Mingye frowned slightly and reluctantly got up and went out.

"Master, we've checked. Daiqin was indeed the only one outside the city at the time. According to others, he didn't know your identity at first. Daiqin was penniless and had been hungry for several days. He just wanted to kill someone and steal some money. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

"Originally, the adults didn't recognize his identity and wanted to let him go. I don't know why they suddenly remembered him as they were leaving, and that's how it happened now."

Xiao Mingye gritted his teeth and said, "You've been hungry for several days, and you still have this much fighting power?"

"Du Chen has practiced martial arts with me since childhood. I know his fighting ability very well. He was no match for Dai Qin, but that was when he was alone. The ones around him were the elite soldiers I brought from Youzhou. They fought against one another with many, and ended up like this. I'd never believe there's something fishy going on, even if I kill you."

The guard who reported the incident stared at him blankly. Xiao Mingye said coldly, "Go investigate again and find out what happened to them. Also, tell Xing Maozhi that no matter what means he uses, even if he skins them alive, he must find out the truth!"

"yes."

…

Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting held Professor Jing's hand and walked at a safe distance from the wheelchair in front. They were confident in their own abilities but not arrogant.

The First Base definitely has more means than these. We must remain absolutely vigilant at all times until they reveal their cards.

Professor Jing still couldn't move. He was being pulled by them and could only move horizontally.

At the end, there is an elevator.

The gentleman maneuvered his wheelchair inside, pressed the door button, and waited for them. He only let go after everyone entered. "Excuse me, fourth floor."

Jiang Zhiyu pressed four and the elevator moved downward.

"The top is the highest, so we can only build up to three stories, so we dug down," the man explained. "But there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that the ground is upside down, and everything else is the same."

No one said anything, and the gentleman didn't care. He looked Jiang Zhiyu up and down. When he met Jiang Zhiyu's cold gaze and He Yanting's unfriendly eyes, he smiled apologetically and said, "Is this co...cosplay?"

He found this word from his distant memory: "If you dress like this, zombies won't bite you?"

His tone was filled with curiosity.

Jiang Zhiyu: "...Don't be like this, my words are a bit harsh, I'm leaving first."

She pulled Professor Jing out of the elevator.

He Yanting thought about it, walked behind the gentleman and pushed the wheelchair.

"Oh," the gentleman said, looking flattered. "You don't have to push this, it's electric."

"I know," He Yanting continued pushing. "If you make any small movements while pushing me like this, I can take advantage of you before you react."

Mr.: “I see.”

He didn't look angry at all, instead he said, "That's troublesome."

It seemed like he was asking him to push the wheelchair, but it also seemed not to be. He Yanting's eyes were deep, and the gentleman pointed his finger forward: "Go through this corridor, turn right, and when you reach the first corner, turn left."

He said and closed his eyes.

Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting looked at each other and followed his route.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't know when he put Professor Jing in front, and changed from pulling to pushing.

Professor Jing: “…”

bad language!

Don't think he can't see it, you are using him as a shield!

I walked all the way to the door, but nothing happened and I didn't see anyone.

Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but ask, "There are so many people outside, why are there so few inside?"

After hearing her speak, the gentleman opened his eyes. "Let's put it this way. The outside is like a street. Anyone can walk on it. But the inside is a special passage. Only a few people use it. Most of those who use it are machines. The few people who are here are only able to stay because the machines need human control."

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, the gentleman chuckled, but didn't explain much. He just said, "For me, machines won't have any ill intentions."

He patted the handrail, signaling He Yanting to push him over. When he reached the door, he stretched out his hand, placed his palm on the machine beside the door, and the door opened.

Several people walked in together.

…

"Tell me, aren't you starving and exhausted? How could you still injure so many people?"
