Chapter 111 Qin Zhuo is besieged

Qin Zhuo sat upright on the sofa and asked, "Lord, may I ask what brings you to see me today?"

Ye Tian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a seemingly gentle smile, and he said slowly, "Don't rush, have a cup of tea first, and we'll talk slowly."

After saying that, he gently raised his hand.

Ye Tian's assistant understood immediately and quickly brought over some tea, placing a steaming cup of tea steadily on the coffee table in front of Qin Zhuo.

The aroma of tea wafted gently through the air.

Qin Zhuo nodded slightly, his fingers touching the warm cup. Just as he was about to bring it to his lips for a light sip, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Lord, we've arrived."

Li Hai led the rescue team members in.

Li Hai spotted Qin Zhuo immediately, his eyes lighting up with surprise. "Qin Zhuo, you're here too!"

Qin Zhuo was slightly taken aback, then put down the cup in her hand, stood up, and looked puzzled. "Why are you all here too?"

Ye Tian glanced at the untouched cup of tea in front of Qin Zhuo, a hint of barely perceptible annoyance flashing in his eyes, and sighed silently.

I had tried to use some methods, but it seems that won't work.

He didn't want to resort to violence, after all, Qin Zhuo's strength in the base was not to be underestimated, and if things really escalated, it would not benefit anyone.

Li Hai quickly explained, "The lord sent us."

Qin Zhuo turned his gaze to Ye Tian, ​​his brows furrowing slightly, and asked again, "Lord, is there something important that you've summoned so many people here?"

Ye Tian's smile remained unchanged. He raised his hand to gesture for everyone to sit down and said in a relaxed tone, "Please sit down, everyone. There's nothing important. It's just that you all completed this mission exceptionally well, and I'd like to treat you all to a meal as a small token of my appreciation."

Li Hai quickly waved his hand, his face showing sincerity, "Lord, this is what we should do, and the lord has already given us the reward for the mission, so there is no need for the lord to spend any more money."

The others nodded in agreement and echoed the sentiment.

As Qin Zhuo listened to everyone's words, a strange unease suddenly welled up in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

He just wanted to get back to the villa as soon as possible to see if Youxiang and the others were alright.

So he bowed slightly to Ye Tian and said, "Lord, since that's the case, then we'll skip the meal. I appreciate your kindness, but I have other matters to attend to, so I'll head back now."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and strode towards the door.

"Qin Zhuo, you can't leave." Ye Tian's voice suddenly turned stern.

At the same time, Ye Tian's assistant flashed forward, crossed his arms, and quickly blocked the doorway.

Qin Zhuo paused, slowly turned around, and asked with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "What does the lord mean by this?"

The others looked at each other, their faces full of doubt and confusion.

What's wrong?

Ye Tian's smile vanished completely, replaced by a cold expression. "You can't leave here until you catch Youxiang."

Qin Zhuo's heart tightened, and he immediately guessed that Youxiang's true identity must have been discovered.

He turned around abruptly, and with a sudden swing of his hands, a thick bolt of lightning, like a roaring dragon, struck Ye Tian's assistant at the main entrance.

Ye Tian's assistant reacted quickly, dodging to the side with ease.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hands and quickly threw several sharp wind blades at Qin Zhuo.

The two instantly became entangled in a fierce battle, locked in a close and evenly matched fight.

Qin Zhuo was extremely anxious and only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible to go back and protect Youxiang and the others. He didn't want to waste any more time here.

However, Ye Tian's assistant always managed to block his path just as he was about to break through, preventing him from leaving smoothly.

Ye Tian looked at Li Hai and the others, and sternly ordered them: "You all go and stop Qin Zhuo, don't let him get away!"

Li Hai's face was full of hesitation and confusion. He took a step forward, trying to persuade him: "Lord, isn't there some misunderstanding? Qin Zhuo has done a lot of tasks for the base..."

He really didn't want to lay a hand on Qin Zhuo, after all, Qin Zhuo was his benefactor.

He didn't understand why the lord was so forcefully blocking Qin Zhuo from leaving, nor did he understand why he wanted to capture Youxiang.

Ye Tian's face was gloomy as he said, word by word, "Qin Zhuo colluded with the zombies and hid the zombie Yuxiang in the base."

"Zombies? Yuzuka."

Li Hai murmured and repeated those two words, deeply shocked.

Everyone present heard Ye Tian's words, and many people showed disbelief on their faces, whispering among themselves.

Seeing this, Ye Tian brought up Dr. S again.

"Dr. S personally examined it and confirmed that Yuxiang is a zombie. Everyone knows Dr. S's reputation, and his judgment is unlikely to be wrong."

Upon hearing Dr. S's name, Li Hai and the others had doubts, but they had no choice but to accept the fact that Youxiang was a zombie.

After all, the authority of a PhD is beyond question.

At this moment, Ye Tian's assistant kicked Qin Zhuo in the back.

Qin Zhuo couldn't dodge in time and was kicked flying.

He slammed hard against the cabinet next to him, and the items on the cabinet fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

Looking at the disheveled Qin Zhuo, Ye Tian slowly said, "Qin Zhuo, Youxiang is just a zombie. You don't need to fight so hard. As long as you listen to me and stop interfering, I can pretend none of this happened. Why risk your life for an alien?"

He still values ​​talent.

Qin Zhuo struggled to his feet, his body swaying slightly, but his eyes remained firm and unwavering.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Yuxiang is my companion, the one I love. I will never compromise. Even if it means going against the whole world, I will protect her."

A flash of annoyance crossed Ye Tian's face, and he let out a cold snort.

"If only you had drunk that cup of tea earlier, everything would have been settled by the time you woke up, saving you from all this trouble now."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhuo glanced at the tea that he had almost drunk and secretly rejoiced that he hadn't.

"My lord, I never expected that someone as upright as you could be so despicable."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes turned fierce. "Since you refuse to cooperate, I have no choice but to kill you. All of you, attack! Show no mercy!"

The rescue team members hesitated for a moment upon hearing the order.

They had spent some time with Qin Zhuo and had developed a certain relationship with him, so they really couldn't bear to harm him.

But this is the lord's order. If they disobey, they may be driven out of the base and lose their chance to survive.

After weighing the pros and cons, they gritted their teeth and slowly moved forward to surround Qin Zhuo.

As Qin Zhuo watched the people gradually approaching, there was no sign of retreat in his eyes; instead, a stronger fighting spirit ignited within him.

He clenched his fists, ready to face the battle to come.
