It was Zhou Zhuo. When Ji Yongxing was about to touch the corpse, it was Zhou Zhuo who grabbed his hand.

The boy quickly understood what the other party meant.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he almost destroyed the most important evidence at the scene.

Just now, he was so immersed in a detail that perhaps only he noticed that he almost made a big mistake.

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, but you have to know that this is not a trivial matter. Anyone who is involved in this matter will go through the inevitable investigation."

He spoke meaningfully, not caring whether anyone was listening.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhuo changed the subject and asked:

"What did you just find?"

Ji Yongxing's breathing stagnated, and he subconsciously looked around. Seeing that there was no one else within two meters around him, he whispered:

"Pinhole."

Zhou Zhuo, who was originally gentle, suddenly exuded a murderous aura. He lowered his head and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Can I see it?"

Ji Yongxing shook his head:

"It shouldn't be possible. This is something I could barely observe using my ability. The extremely fine needle is a controlled substance and requires extremely high craftsmanship. Not everyone can do it..."

"Stop talking."

Zhou Zhuo had turned around without knowing when. He slowly walked towards the door and said:

"There shouldn't be any other clues. Come back to the laboratory with me. There are still many experiments to be completed."

"What about here?"

"Leave this to Luo Ya and Qian Jingfeng. They are very experienced and will handle everything."

Zhou Zhuo walked out of the beautifully decorated lounge while speaking. Ji Yongxing followed behind him like a follower, his head looking at the ground.

Luo Ya and Qian Jingfeng, who were left at the scene, also saw this scene, and neither of them was surprised by it.

Zhou Zhuo is already old, and his friendship with Shengdun is well known to everyone. Such a change is a real blow to the old man. It is good enough that he can still walk normally.

All they have to do is submit a field investigation report signed by the institute to verify the reports of other institutions.

Apart from this, they bear no responsibility for the incident.

"How is it? Fortunately, I am your brother, otherwise you would have fallen off the wall and died."

In the northern part of the outer city, a very pleasing-looking fat young man was patting his chest and boasting to his teammates who looked a little thin.

The Sixth Super Power Team, led by Captain "Nian", has just completed the recapture and cleanup of the city wall.

Because they received the notice late, when they arrived in the North District, nearly a hundred strange beasts had already broken through the blockade of the city defense forces and rushed to the vicinity of several residential buildings closest to the city wall.

But such a thorny crisis can better demonstrate the value of the ranking of the Sixth Super Power Team.

Although the five people seemed very passive in the previous battle with Lin Qingliu in the basement in the state of paperhanger, this was also the opponent's first move.

It’s not shameful to open the door when you can’t win.

And when the battlefield returned to the scope that ordinary people could understand, their combat effectiveness was demonstrated.

Whether it's the "Nian" who can pull out hundreds of bullets close to the speed of sound at any time and anywhere in the ruins, or the "Bomber Man" who can barbecue in a small space, or the little fat man with strong protection ability within a certain range, they are all the best in this kind of battlefield.

At this moment, one of his fat hands was on the shoulder of "Gecko", trying to exchange his previous help for a dinner in an inner city restaurant.

At this moment, a man in a light blue coat suddenly ran towards them.

This is very unusual, because that kind of coat is exclusive to logistics personnel, and it is only worn by logistics personnel of the super-power team.

Why is he here?

Before they could wonder for long, the man had already run up to them, completely ignoring the captain's "mind". He handed a standard communicator to the fat boy:

"Mr. Lucas Jr., I have an urgent message for you."

"I've said it many times, just call me Luke."

The little fat boy obviously doesn't like being compared with his father, so he doesn't like that kind of address very much.

But he also knew what was important and quickly took the communicator and put it to his ear.

“Hello Mr. Luke Hartmann, I regret to inform you that your father, Mr. Lucas Hartmann, passed away two hours ago at the Institute.

"Please rush to Room A33 on the top floor of the institute as soon as possible. We will explain the situation to you there."

“W-what…”

“Beep, beep…”

The fat boy named Luke seemed to have his spine pulled out in an instant. He fell to the ground and his thoughts came to a standstill.

"Why? How is that possible?"

He half-knelt on the ground, staring blankly ahead, unable to comprehend what he heard.

His father was clearly not that weak. Two days ago, he personally captured a Level 3 beast that was trying to attack him. How could he be...

The volume of the communicator was not small, and the teammates around could also hear what was being said.

They all stood there in a daze for a moment, and after a few seconds they thought that they should help Luke up first.

Seeing the distraught look of the little fat boy, everyone was unable to say any words of comfort.

At this time, it was Captain "Nian" who stood up. He used his own ability to prop up Luke's legs to prevent him from falling at any time.

"Go check it out first, we'll be with you."

"Okay, okay."

After a long silence, Luke agreed like a zombie, and then everyone got into the car driven by the logistics staff in silence and rushed towards the main building of the institute.

This was the longest hour in Luke's life. He looked out the window at the street scenes passing by behind him. For the first time, he felt that no one could truly understand him.

His feelings towards his father, Lucas "The Shield", are very complicated.

On the one hand, his abilities are very similar to his father's, which makes him very proud as he grows up.

But on the other hand, compared to his father's protective shield that could cover the entire City of Hope, the soft light shield created by his ability was as ridiculous as a child's toy.

Although Luke appears to be gentle and cheerful on the surface, he is actually very strong-willed.

Ever since he awakened his abilities, he has been holding himself to the highest standards.

From childhood to adulthood, he never slacked off in any training session.

However, his abilities seemed to have certain limits. Even though he had now reached the threshold of the third order, it only made his abilities more diverse and detailed within a certain range, and the skill points did not seem to expand the range.
