Su Mo's breathing was extremely weak, accompanied by a loud sound like a bellows, which was a sign that his lungs were severely damaged.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Heng immediately moved closer and asked worriedly, "Xiao Mo, how are you?"

"Brother, I'm not dead yet." Su Mo said softly, "Help me sit up. I'm not used to talking to everyone while lying down like this."

"Su Mo, just lie down." He Sizhao said, "If you can't bear it now, then don't talk for now."

"That's right. In your current condition, you still want to sit up? Do you want to live?" Wang Kangping said.

Su Mo shook his head slightly. "Uncle Wang, have you forgotten our previous conclusion? Modern medicine cannot explain the physical condition of the awakened. I don't think I'm going to die yet."

Jiang Chuyi carefully looked at his face. The paleness was caused by blood loss, but he was indeed in good spirits.

He Sizhao also looked at him steadily for a few seconds, then signaled Su Heng to lift him up.

It would be best to know the situation as soon as possible. Now they can wait, but the survivors outside cannot.

As Su Mo sat up, Jiang Chuyi appeared in his sight. His eyes, filled with pain, softened a little: "Xiaoyi, it's a good thing you were out with Brother Zhao at the time."

Jiang Chuyi walked up to him and looked down at the wound on his chest.

"I've seen that thing," she said. "It's incredible you survived it."

It's not that she looks down on Su Mo. Su Mo's energy is not used to strengthen the body. Even if he is stronger than non-awakened people, he can't withstand that level of attack.

Su Mo's face darkened. He was silent for a moment and said, "It was the donut that entangled it. Otherwise, I would be in great danger."

Jiang Chuyi had wanted to ask this question for a long time: "Where did the donuts go?"

"It was also seriously injured. I sent it back to the spiritual space to heal. It will appear again when it recovers." Su Mo said, "Xiaoxue too."

"Xiaoxue must have helped you find this place," Jiang Chuyi said affirmatively.

"Yes." Su Mo nodded gently, "Thank goodness Xiaoxue is here, otherwise Uncle Wang and I would not have survived."

Jiang Chuyi understood the situation and stopped asking questions, waiting for Su Mo to describe what had happened during the days they were away.

"I said you should ask me about this, because Uncle Wang probably doesn't know much about it." Su Mo said, "Actually, I only have a rough guess from my father."

"Your father?"

Those who knew Su Mo's situation frowned slightly.

Su Heng remained silent. He had already seen the old man's body during the floor inspection just now.

"Yes." A complex look flashed across Su Mo's eyes. "My father has been hospitalized here. Uncle Wang and the others always thought he had a sudden illness, but a few days ago I suddenly discovered that he had been drugged."

He Sizhao: "Did it happen during the last attack?"

"I'm not sure, but based on the extent to which the drug corrodes the brain, I suspect it is." Su Mo whispered, "It's a chronic neurotoxin that will slowly erode the brain. At first, it's just immobility, then gradually turns into brain death, and finally turns the person completely dead."

A cold flash passed through He Sizhao's eyes: "Someone doesn't want him to speak."

He looked at Su Mo, his eyes sharp and clear: "Since you know this, shouldn't you find a way to make him speak before the disaster happens?"

Su Mo pursed his lips and nodded slowly.

"I injected the snake fang toxin from the donut into his system," he said.

"I agreed to this." Perhaps worried about Su Mo being criticized, Wang Kangping immediately added, "Donut snake venom is also a neurotoxin. As long as the dosage is controlled, it is very likely to complement and counteract the original poison, producing a good therapeutic effect. Even if this is not done, Su Yuanchen's final result will not be better than before the use."

"Professor Wang, no one will blame Su Mo." Wuyi said impatiently, "We all just want to know what happened."

Su Mo didn't look at anyone else, but stared at Jiang Chuyi steadily. She was still very calm, without showing any emotion such as disgust or confusion. Instead, like everyone else, she tilted her head and waited for him to continue speaking, her expression slightly softened.

"The toxin shock took effect, and he was able to utter a few simple words," he said. "Just as he was beginning to speak, the hospital was attacked."

"What?"

The meaning of this statement couldn't be clearer.

The person who didn't want him to speak before started covering his mouth again.

He Sizhao narrowed his eyes and said, "There's a traitor here."

Those guards would not enter the hospital, and they were not qualified to hear many secrets, so Su Mo and the others' actions would not be very obvious. If there was no traitor, that person would not have known so quickly that Su Yuanchen could speak.

"I can't think of who it is," Wang Kangping said tiredly. "The main hospital was originally reorganized after the main base was established. Many of us are not originally from this hospital. Commander-in-Chief He went through untold hardships to rescue us from various disaster areas and finally brought us together."

Hearing a somewhat familiar name, Jiang Chuyi reacted and remembered that this should be He Shizhao's father.

She subconsciously looked up at He Sizhao and saw that his eyebrows did not fluctuate at all.

Noticing Jiang Chuyi's gaze, he touched her head.

"What did he say?" he asked.

"He wasn't fully conscious at the time, and most of his speech was incoherent. I could only make out that he was calling Wen Changchuan's name." Su Mo leaned his head against the wall, his slender, handsome brows furrowed as if lost in painful memories. "He was saying... 'Don't trust him, he's no longer trustworthy.'"

"Who is untrustworthy?" He Sizhao immediately asked, "Does this 'he' refer to Wen Changchuan, or an unknown person?"

"From the context, he should be talking to Wen Changchuan. I have no idea who this 'he' is referring to." Su Mo opened his eyes. "You know, I don't know anything about my father's social circle. I have no idea who he and Wen Changchuan know in common."

"This 'he' might be the key figure." Wen Xi's voice was filled with disbelief. "But if what he said is true... then there might be someone higher up above General Su and Wen Changchuan who's controlling them? That's impossible, right?"

This possibility was so terrifying that everyone fell silent for a moment.

I originally thought that Wen Changchuan was the last person to be dealt with, but now I know that there is someone above him who can control him, which makes people feel cold.

If he can manipulate people like Su Yuanchen and Wen Changchuan at will, then what does the whole world mean to him?

Jiang Chuyi glanced at Wen Xi in surprise.

In her memory, her impression of this female soldier has always been "a cook who doesn't cook very well", but she didn't expect that she had such a sharp political mind and immediately thought of the most likely key.

"Do you remember what Lu Qianzhi said?" Su Mo suddenly said, "Wen Changchuan was the one who raised him. He should be one of the people who knows Wen Changchuan best. But he himself said that the current Wen Changchuan is no longer the same as before. So, is Wen Changchuan's personality change related to the person behind him?"

This reminded Jiang Chuyi of something: "Where is Lu Qianzhi?"

Su Mo shook his head heavily: "With the current situation outside... no one can guarantee that he is still alive."

"No, he must be alive." Jiang Chuyi said.

Everyone looked at her.

She seems to be the person who cares the least about human life and death, but whenever everyone thinks someone has met with an accident, she is always the one who firmly believes that the other person is still alive.

This kindness and determination are unmatched by anyone.

Jiang Chuyi didn't understand why these people suddenly looked at her with such soft eyes, and some of them even had tears in their eyes. She fell silent.

The reason why I believe Lu Qianzhi is not dead is very simple, because the world has not collapsed yet.

If the protagonist Lu Qianzhi died, the world would have ended long ago.

Just as she was hesitating about how to tell them about this, He Shizhao's communicator suddenly vibrated, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

He Sizhao quickly picked up the phone: "I'm He Sizhao."

There was a sound of heavy breathing coming from the other side, and after a few seconds, a low voice was heard.

"Captain Congratulations, great! I dialed the right channel."

"Ji Xia." He Sizhao called out the name of the person on the other side. "Where are you now? Are there any other survivors around?"

"I'm in the North District of Midtown, with a little boy. When that thing attacked the residential area, it was this boy who dragged me into his basement. So far, we're the only two people I've seen alive." Ji Xia's voice was panting, as if he was constantly moving. "It seems that thing appeared just now. We had no choice but to go out and try to find a way to avoid it."

Hearing about the North District of Central City, Lian Riqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved. The next second, he appeared in front of the communicator and said in an anxious voice, "Excuse me, what is the name of the boy you are with?"

"Call me Xiao An." Ji Xia said.

Lian Riqing was shocked. She immediately looked up and looked at He Sizhao with longing eyes: "Captain, I want to ask for permission to pick them up. It's too dangerous for them to stay in the central city."

He Sizhao looked at her and already knew the boy's identity.

"Jixia, halt movement, find cover, and await rescue," he said to the communicator. "Send the coordinates to channels one and seven."

"Yes, Captain Congratulations!"

Ji Xia's voice sounded ecstatic.

Lian Riqing's tense shoulders relaxed slightly: "Thank you, Captain."

"Let Wuyi go with you, and come back quickly," He Sizhao said. "Report anything unusual immediately, don't fight it head-on."

Lian Riqing nodded, and her communicator rang, obviously the coordinates were sent.

She and Wuyi quickly set off and went out through the entrance they came in.

After the two of them left, Jiang Chuyi asked, "Is that Xiao An Lian Riqing's younger brother?"

"That should be the case." He Sizhao nodded. "It is said that after she rescued the boy, she changed his name and they lived like siblings."

Jiang Chuyi thought to himself that he could meet another character in the plot, although he was a character whose name was only seen but not seen in the original plot.

Sunny days on and good weather on.

The names of these two siblings are quite nice.

Su Mo said softly: "Brother Zhao, what are you going to do now?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on He Shizhao.

Jiang Chuyi suddenly felt an absolutely concentrated force. In this critical moment, this man was the backbone of everyone.

"We now know what happened, but there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved," He Sizhao said. "If you want to understand these questions, you have to go to a certain place."

"Are you going to Wen Changchuan?" Jiang Chuyi asked.

Before she knew it, she had become the person who, like Su Mo, could follow He Sizhao's ideas the fastest.

It's just that Su Mo and her have developed a tacit understanding after years of fighting side by side, so her understanding is particularly surprising.

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Jiang Chuyi curled the ends of her hair and said lazily, "In fact, if we find that thing just now, we might understand it faster."

Seeing her talk about finding the horrible monster that turned the main base into a graveyard so easily, everyone showed a bitter smile on their faces.

"We have to go and see if he's dead or alive." He Sizhao said, "After all, compared to that thing, it's more likely that Wen Changchuan can speak human language."

The author has something to say:
