Chapter 118 The Leader's True Intentions Become Clear

Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao walked into the spacious office together. This office belonged to the leader of this survivor settlement, Qin Feng.

Although Qin Feng is over 40 years old, he has been well maintained and is in good spirits, but there is always a subtle fatigue between his brows.

He was sitting behind his desk, flipping through a stack of documents. He looked up when he heard the noise and put on a perfunctory smile.

"Su Wanqing, Lu Zhao, what's the matter?" Qin Feng's voice was neither loud nor low, revealing a bureaucratic courtesy.

"Chief Qin, we want to know about the sample storage area." Su Wanqing said straight to the point, in a calm tone. She noticed that Qin Feng's smile froze for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Sample storage area?" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows in puzzlement.

"The situation there is very complicated and does not help your operation. I believe you have more important things to do, don't you?"

Su Wanqing's heart moved. The other party's avoidance was obvious. She responded lightly: "We just want to confirm the safety of the storage area. After all, the radiation level there is high, which poses a certain threat to the health of personnel. We hope to provide more comprehensive protection suggestions for the base."

Qin Feng's eyes flickered, he put down the document in his hand, and said slowly: "The storage area has been blocked, and there are special personnel responsible for monitoring. Don't worry, everything is under our control." He paused and changed the subject, "Your team is very capable and has made great contributions to the base. But before that, I hope you can focus on cleaning up the zombies instead of wasting your energy on useless things."

Su Wanqing did not give up. She continued, "We heard that there are some special equipment in the storage area that may be used to improve the power supply of the base. Lu Zhao is an expert in this area and may be able to provide some help."

Qin Feng's expression finally changed. He stood up suddenly, and his voice became stern: "I say again, the situation in the storage area has nothing to do with you! Your mission is to cooperate with us to clean up the zombies, not to interfere in the internal affairs of the base!"

Lu Zhao, who was standing by, noticed that the atmosphere was not right and interjected at the right time: "Chief Qin, we only made some suggestions out of our concern for the base. If it is inconvenient for you to disclose relevant information, we can understand." He tried to ease the awkwardness.

"Understand?" Qin Feng sneered. "I don't need others' understanding, I just need to follow orders!"

He sat back in his chair, staring at Su Wanqing sharply, "I warn you, don't ask about the storage area anymore, otherwise I will expel you from the base in the name of disturbing order!"

Su Wanqing thought to herself that the other party's reaction had exceeded her expectations.

It seems that there are unknown secrets hidden behind this storage area.

She decided to give up for the time being and look for another solution.

"In that case, we won't bother you anymore." Su Wanqing said, pulling Lu Zhao's sleeve and motioning him to leave together.

Walking out of the office, Lu Zhao asked, "Su Wanqing, what do you think Qin Feng is hiding?"

"He definitely knows something we don't know." Su Wanqing replied.

"Moreover, he was extremely sensitive about the sample area, even to the point of near panic."

"I just checked Qin Feng's computer and server in the office on the pretext of something."

Lu Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I found an unencrypted file that mentioned a special project in the sample storage area - 'Project Zero'."

"Plan Zero?" Su Wanqing was shocked.

"The content of the document is very brief. It only mentions that 'Plan Zero' aims to study the mutation patterns of virus samples and find a method to control the spread of the virus. But according to my analysis, the real purpose of this plan is probably far more than that." Lu Zhao analyzed.

Su Wanqing nodded. She vaguely felt that this "Plan Zero" had some connection with what Lao Ya said about "using viruses for control."

She suddenly remembered the new ability of her jade bracelet - replenishing supplies.

She could try to use this ability to slightly change the environment around the storage area and see how Qin Feng would react.

"I have an idea. Come with me." Su Wanqing led Lu Zhao back to the central area of ​​the base.

She secretly activated the ability of the jade bracelet and created a small greenhouse out of thin air on an open space near the storage area, where she planted some rare plants.

The appearance of this greenhouse immediately attracted Qin Feng's attention. He sent several soldiers to take Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao back to the office and asked sternly, "What did you do near the storage area?"

Su Wanqing replied calmly: "We just want to improve the environment of the base and grow some vegetables and fruits. This can provide more food sources for the base."

"Lies!" Qin Feng roared. "Your actions have violated the base's regulations! I order you to evacuate the base immediately and never set foot here again!"

Su Wanqing knew that she had completely angered Qin Feng. She did not argue anymore, but just said calmly: "Okay, let's go."

Before leaving the office, Su Wanqing felt a cold breath coming from behind.

She looked back and found Lin Che standing not far away, with a blank look in his eyes, as if he was being controlled by someone.

There is a faint fragrance in the air, which makes people feel dizzy.

At night, the second personality hidden in Lin Che's body was acting in secret.

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. She realized that Lin Che's presence was bringing a greater threat to the team.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She quietly pulled Lu Zhao's hand and signaled him to pay attention with her eyes.

“Lu Zhao, I suspect Lin Che has been controlled by Ye.” Su Wanqing said in a low voice.

"He might sabotage our plans."

Lu Zhao nodded. He had already noticed something was wrong with Lin Che. He frowned and said, "We must be careful and not let him get close to the sample storage area."

Su Wanqing felt a sense of uneasiness rising in her heart. She knew that a crisis was approaching.

She must find out the truth about the sample as soon as possible, otherwise the entire base will be in danger of destruction.

Qin Feng sternly warned everyone, and everyone was required not to approach the storage area and to keep a close watch on Su Wanqing's team.

Ye used the art of perfume making to add subtle psychological hints to Qin Feng's reaction to the information, subtly guiding him to reveal some details about the sample mechanism without knowing it.

He accurately grasped Qin Feng's psychology and used his inner fear and anxiety to obtain the information he needed.

Su Wanqing sensed Ye's intention and felt secretly worried.

She found Lu Zhao in private and reminded him: "Ye is very powerful and he is very good at disguise. We must be vigilant and be careful that he will secretly sabotage our plans."

Lu Zhao nodded. He knew that this battle was not only a battle with zombies, but also a battle with enemies hiding in the darkness.

He felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was even heavier. He had to work with Su Wanqing to protect everything in the base.

With Qin Feng's tough attitude and the interference in the dark night, the cracks in the team became more and more obvious.

Su Wanqing vaguely felt that her leadership was facing a threat.

A storm is coming, and she must be fully prepared.
