Chapter 80 He Won't Hurt Me

Accompanied by the law enforcement officer, they saw the alien species, where several people were extracting blood and conducting gene extraction.

“I advise you to stay away.” Lu Zhi grabbed the shoulder of the attendant and pulled him back.

Those closest to the alien species looked puzzled.

The attendant shouted sternly, "Step back!"

Upon hearing his words, those people quickly retreated a few meters.

Xu Fei quickly asked, "Is there a problem?"

“Three, two…” Lu Zhi held up three fingers and counted down lazily.

"one."

"Bang!"

The moment he finished speaking, the alien creature in the cage exploded, filling the air with a foul, bloody stench, and shredded flesh burst open.

“There are viruses in this place, and if anyone gets infected, they will suffer the consequences.”

Yang Xie followed the sound and happened to overhear Lu Zhi's words. He asked in a deep voice, "How can you be so sure?"

Lu Zhi leaned against his companion, tilting his body to the side, and scoffed, "I'm a healer, so of course I can sense it."

This explanation is reasonable, but not entirely convincing.

The lawyer knew they didn't believe, but whether they believed or not was none of his business.

He glanced sideways at his entourage and asked, "Does our captain believe us?"

The attendant did not answer him, but instead said to Yang Xie, "He won't harm me."

"Oh."

As soon as he said that, he heard Lu Zhi laugh. He felt the man's head get closer, but he didn't even look at him. He pushed him away and continued, "When I saw this mutant in the factory, I wondered why those people left this thing there when they took everything else. It's like they were deliberately trying to lure us in."

Yang Xie nodded. That was actually what he was thinking too. He ordered the thing to be brought back not only to extract blood and genes for research, but also to see what those people were planning to do.

"Although you superhumans don't need to fear infection, you should still be careful." Lu Zhi's tone sounded slightly sarcastic, causing everyone to look at him, but no one dared to express their dissatisfaction, because Lu Zhi was right.

"I was careless this time, thank you," the passenger chimed in.

After they cleaned up the infected area, Suicheng took Lu Zhi back to the car.

"Try to talk less next time," the attendant sighed helplessly.

Lu Zhi shrugged and said, "They didn't say anything wrong, so now they're blaming me."

He leaned closer to the passenger and stole a kiss on the cheek, then laughed and said, "I know you're worried that I'll make too many enemies, but I'm not afraid."

Sui Cheng covered his lips, which were drawing ever closer, and said coldly under his accusing gaze, "It's good that you know."

...

During the afternoon meeting, the captain of Special Operations Team 5 gave a detailed account of the current situation in Haicheng.

“The area within 1 kilometer of the coastline is now completely fenced off, and all personnel are prohibited from approaching. The safest place to stay in Haicheng right now is the Binhai Grand Square because of its open terrain. All the teams that have come to Haicheng are stationed here. We are stationed here because we have received orders from our superiors to wait for you here.”

"How many troops are there in Haicheng now?" Yang Xie asked.

“A total of 72 teams.” The captain of the fifth team took out a roster, which recorded the information of all the teams that had entered and left Haicheng during this period.

Since three months ago, more and more teams have been coming here.

There are five special operations teams at the Huaxia base, and the other teams are superpowered teams from the three bases.

Yang Xie asked, "Why are there so many teams of superpowered individuals here?"

"What else could it be but crystal cores?" The fifth team leader said helplessly. "Compared to the alien species inland, the alien species in the ocean have stronger abilities, and their crystal cores are naturally stronger than those of other alien species. These teams of ability users are here to hunt."

Xu Fei remarked, "They really don't care about their lives."

"But there's nothing we can do about it." The fifth team leader continued, "After the great mutation, the strength of the mutants has evolved in all aspects. If we, the superhumans, don't strengthen ourselves, we're afraid we won't be able to defeat them. And since the crystal core can enhance superhuman abilities, of course they have to fight desperately for it."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became more serious.

"Have all these teams ever been to sea?" Yang Xie steered the conversation back on track.

The fifth team leader said, "The teams that have been to sea have separate records, which are here."

Yang Xie quickly flipped through the notebook and, sure enough, found Xu Feng's special operations team and even Leng Tianrui's team from Base One.

After taking a closer look, it was found that there were a total of ten teams that set sail around the same time on the same day. Six of them were traveling with Xu Feng and his group, and the other four were superpowered teams from the Qinglong Base.

"Have these teams returned?" Yang Xie asked the captain of Team Five, pointing to the names of the four teams from the Azure Dragon Base in the logbook.

"They're back. Of the four teams that went out, only one returned, and they were all basically injured. Given their condition, I thought they would stay in Haicheng to recuperate for a while before returning to the base, but I didn't expect them to leave Haicheng early the next morning." The captain of the fifth team said with a solemn expression, "I felt at the time that they must have learned some important news and were rushing back to report."

The accompanying passengers listened in silence. It seemed that it was because of this team that Shan Qiu and his group knew about Leng Tianrui's accident earlier than people from other bases.

"What are your thoughts on the next steps?"

After the fifth team leader finished reporting everything, Yang Xie began to ask for their thoughts.

"The sea is dangerous now, is it really feasible for us to go out to sea directly?" someone asked.

Another person said, "But if we don't go to sea, we'll never be able to know what's going on outside."

Someone else said, "There are countless creatures in the sea, and we don't know the strength of most of them. If we go out to sea unprepared, isn't that just suicide?"

"Who says we weren't prepared?"

As soon as he said this, everyone thought of the things in the armored vehicle that Yang Xie had brought. If they had those things to help them, this sea area wouldn't be impossible to go to.

“We are going to the sea, but not now. We need to prepare the fleet. What do you think?” the attendant asked.

"Yes, Captain Sui is right. We're not in a hurry to go to the sea right now. We need to wait for some news. In the meantime, I'd like you all to go to the coast more often. You can go out to sea, but don't go too far. At least you need to understand the strength of those alien creatures in the ocean." Yang Xie rested his chin on his hands and said sternly, "Dong Hongsen, how many ships do we have right now?"

Team leader Dong Hongsen patted his chest and said, "We have enough boats."

"Alright, then please make your own preparations, team leaders."
