Chapter 263 I am just a researcher, what bad intentions could I have?

When Zhou Ping heard what Qiao Lan said, her distracted eyes froze for a moment.

Yin Wanying said: "She was very surprised and scared and wanted to run away immediately."

She was using her mental power to control the other person's mind and could clearly sense the other person's condition.

Qiao Lan stared at Zhou Ping and asked, "Are you a man or a woman?"

"She's even more shocked and frightened." Yin Wanying reported the other person's emotions in real time. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Or, I can perform a mind search on her. But it consumes too much energy. I need a quiet environment. Should we go back to the dormitory?"

"Okay." Qiao Lan agreed.

The other party's identity and gender were suspected in two consecutive questions. If a normal experimenter was asked this question, he would probably be angry, but the other party did not. He was just afraid and wanted to escape, which fully shows that the problem is very serious.

So the two of them each held Zhou Ping's hand and returned to the dormitory area downstairs.

When we met other people along the way, we thought the three of them had a good relationship and they were walking hand in hand.

It's actually hostage-taking.

Yin Wanying controlled Zhou Ping, preventing her from resisting. Qiao Lan even nodded and smiled when she met a staff member. After entering the dormitory area, the dormitory manager greeted the three of them warmly, "Did you find her?"

"Yes, yes, I found it. Thank you." Qiao Lan responded as usual.

The dormitory manager saw that the three of them seemed to have a good relationship and smiled at Zhou Ping.

Yin Wanying controlled Zhou Ping to give her a proper smile.

The dormitory manager didn't notice anything unusual.

The few of them returned to the dormitory without any trouble.

I have to say that it is very convenient to do bad things when there is a psychic awakener around.

Qiao Lan locked the door, tied up Zhou Ping and threw her on the bed, and gave Yin Wanying a crystal core so that she could replenish her energy at any time. The mental search began.

Yin Wanying originally couldn't perform a mind search, a special ability reserved for the little Holy Spirit girl. However, during the decisive battle at the Temple base, Xiao Tang had communicated with her. By then, Xiao Tang already had a strong connection with the Holy Spirit, which was why he had to be killed first to kill the Holy Spirit. After his death, aside from the memory he'd left for Qiao Lan, some residual consciousness remained with Yin Wanying. Thus, the Holy Spirit, with whom he was closely connected, also retained a bit of its consciousness.

Through the remnant of the Holy Spirit, Yin Wanying found a way to gain stronger mental control and memory search.

This is the first time I use it.

The severe injuries she suffered during the battle hadn't fully healed, and her level hadn't recovered yet, so she couldn't use this high-level ability with ease. Therefore, even with an absolutely quiet and safe environment and abundant crystal cores, she was exhausted after completing a round of searching.

After more than an hour, she weakly lay down on the bed and whispered, "The search is not complete, only some fragments. I am not capable enough."

But the information obtained is enough.

Apple certainly had problems this week.

"Sister, thank you for your hard work. I will feed you something delicious."

Qiao Lan quickly pulled out a brand new soft pillow from her space and placed it behind Yin Wanying, letting her lie half-lying. She fed her water spoonful by spoonful and brought out the delicious meals she had packed during the stockpile, feeding her carefully and caring for her meticulously. Qiao Lan felt bad that her sister had worked so hard just to help her investigate the suspicious individuals.

Yin Wanying's strength had recovered a little, and without delay, she immediately told the information she had searched.

"Zhou Ping worked at the C City Laboratory branch in Saint Yes, as a researcher under 'Aunt He'..."

Later, Aunt He's laboratory was destroyed by the Thug King's sonic attack, resulting in numerous casualties. This man, however, managed to escape and never return. He fled to the Saint Yesh Research Branch in the neighboring province, where he remained for over a month. However, both the branch and the local Temple were attacked by the authorities and disbanded. Luckily, he managed to survive again and even acquired a large Temple Bird, which he flew north until it was shot down by an official fighter jet near the capital.

Hey, luckily, he survived the fall and landed in a wild ravine, escaping capture by the government soldiers. He wandered to Beijing and encountered a call for scientific personnel. Leveraging his pre-apocalyptic research experience studying abroad, he infiltrated the official research team. He possesses exceptional technical skills, contributing numerous new ideas and making several contributions to pharmaceutical research. He was transferred to this underground core laboratory just last month.

As for gender...

Who would believe that his superpower is sex change?

Qiao Lan was amazed after hearing Yin Wanying's story. Sex change, a useless ability with no combat power, was actually quite useful for changing one's identity and infiltrating an organization.

"I said you looked familiar, and it turned out to be you!"

She slapped Zhou Ping hard.

When they were chasing the thug Wang's gang for the granary, she and Ye Qi had stumbled upon Aunt He's laboratory and a massive corpse pit. At the time, a skinny, unremarkable man had squatted by the pit, counting the mutated corpses in a daze. He was scared away by the group and never seen again. He was a minor figure, insignificant, and Qiao Lan hadn't paid much attention to him.

Unexpectedly, when he saw Zhou Ping, Qiao Lan felt as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

Then, it suddenly came to my mind.

Zhou Ping's facial structure and distribution of facial features are exactly the same as that of the thin man back then!

However, Qiao Lan vaguely remembered that the man looked young, in his twenties, with dark skin, high cheekbones, and small eyes. Crucially, he was male. Zhou Ping, on the other hand, although she had the same complexion and features as him, was clearly a woman and looked quite old, old enough to be the man's mother.

But Zhou Ping's aura and the feeling she gave off were very similar to that of the man from before. Qiao Lan was terrified and suspicious, not daring to simply assume that her memory was disordered. In the apocalypse, anything could happen, right? So she quickly went to find Zhou Ping to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the secret was discovered!

"Grandpa Wei, you haven't left the lab yet, right? Please wait a moment. I have something else to talk to you about."

Qiao Lan called Wei Jianshe on the spot.

Wei Jianshe agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll come find you when I'm done here. I also have something to see you about."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Lan kicked Zhou Ping and said, "Tell me, what are you planning to do by sneaking in here? If you dare to disrupt my brother's drug experiment, I will kill you."

I'm so angry.

Why are there always bad guys in this secret lab? What's the point of having strong security? There are so many internal loopholes. Qiao Lan has been here for two days and easily caught two Saint Yes spies. How can she let Xiao Tang conduct experiments in such an environment?

Yin Wanying lifted her mental control over Zhou Ping and let her speak.

After Zhou Ping's memory search was complete, she collapsed into a pile of mud, without any energy to resist. She trembled and said weakly, "I'm not planning anything. I just want to do scientific research. I'll go wherever there's work. I'm not a spy. Please don't hand me over to the higher-ups. I don't want to die..."

As he spoke, he started crying.

He looked at Qiao Lan with tearful eyes, "Can you spare me? I'll agree to anything you ask, just don't hand me over to the higher-ups, otherwise I'll be sentenced to death. But I'm just a researcher, how could I have any bad intentions? I came here on my own, not sent by Saint Yes. I changed my sex because I was afraid of being found by Saint Yes. There are official scientific research institutions, so I definitely won't go back to Saint Yes. I just had no other place to work at the time and had no choice!"

"Really, please, please spare my life. I still have many unfinished professional projects, and I want to continue my research. Woo woo woo..."

"That's right! Not only can I change my sex, I can also teleport. I have two superpowers, which is amazing. How about I become your subordinate? As long as I can survive and do research, I'm willing to endure any hardship."

If he wasn't so weak at the moment, it looked like he could kowtow to Qiao Lan and beg for his life on the spot.
