Chapter 51

Qi Heng's questions were not progressive, but rather jumpy. At first glance, the previous question and the next question seemed completely unrelated.

Lei seemed very honest and would answer any questions he had.

I just don't know if Lei really feels that he can't resist and can only accept it, or if he wants to numb himself by pretending to be obedient. Qi Heng thought about it and the record of Lei's strength that he had seen in the information before emerged in his mind.

Mental strength: C (10500).

Star Power: 750 (white).

With such strength...if I am not prepared, I might be successfully ambushed.

Will Lei take action?

Qi Heng thought with some interest that it would be nice if they could really take action. It would be a good opportunity for him to see the strength of someone who had received orthodox fourth-level civilization education in star power cultivation.

Lei, who was lying on the ground, felt his scalp tingling when he was looked at by him, and the urge in his heart froze for some reason.

The paralysis caused by the electric shock on his body was gradually fading away. Lei originally wanted to try to fight back, but now he suddenly felt that it was more important for him to stay alive.

It's better not to anger this man in front of you who looks like he's not someone you can mess with. With the meager salary you earn, there's no need for you to be at the forefront. If you really die, there won't even be anyone to collect your pension.

Lei felt heartbroken when he thought of this, and at the same time, he completely gave up the idea of ​​resistance and lay down completely.

Qi Heng witnessed the change in Lei's attitude, and when he realized that the other party was as calm as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, the corners of his mouth twitched. Was this a complete surrender?

Obviously, he guessed right.

Because in the subsequent questioning, Lei was more obedient and cooperative. While answering his questions, he did not forget to draw inferences about other situations. Without waiting for him to ask questions, he took the initiative to tell him all the information about other Ikals in the base.

...and seems to very much want others to be like him.

"Besides me, there are Imper and Niedo at the base. They came a few years before me and have always been following Professor Jeyoll's orders."

"Professor Jeyol holds the highest position in the base. We cannot disobey his orders. If we do, he will stamp our final internship report as failing, which will affect our internship grades and duration."

"Professor Jeyol has been on this planet for hundreds of years for his research. I'm not sure exactly how long."

"Experimental direction? Um, it seems to be in the field of genetic evolution research?"

"I majored in mechanical engineering and information science, so I don't know much about this." Lei said this, swallowed his saliva, and continued, "If you want to know, you can go to Imper and the others. They have been assisting Professor Jeyol all the time."

"The most I can do is help contact Hawke to send the experimental subjects over..."

Qi Heng's expression didn't change much, as if the experimental subjects Lei mentioned had nothing to do with him.

It was precisely because of this that Lei, who had been secretly observing his expression, felt a little relieved.

I really scared myself. It seems that the other party has nothing to do with the Tianjia Zerg. He must have other purposes for sneaking into Tianyun Star and the base.

...On Tianyun Star, apart from the Tianjia Zerg, which are still valuable, there are several blocked restricted areas such as brain blocking technology. I don’t know whether the other party wants the former or the latter.

Qi Heng looked at Lei, who was lost in thought, and said with a half-smile on his face, "You are so cooperative with me that I really have to wonder if you want to betray your native civilization, or if you are afraid of death?"

His tone and expression were completely different. Not only was there no smile on his face, but he also looked cold and chilly.

Qi Heng knew something about the experiment, but due to time constraints, he did not read all the information provided by A0.

But you don’t need to finish reading it.

There are several important contents on that document which are marked in red bold by A0. After reading it, I have a general idea of ​​it.

Not long after the Ikar civilization took over Tianyun Star, Professor Jeyol came to Tianyun Star and stayed there for hundreds of years.

Over the centuries, he had dissected and put countless Zergs on the test bench, and only the documents of failed experiments silently told of the numerous evil deeds they had committed.

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment.

After a while, Lei opened his mouth and tried to make his expression look more natural, but the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed helpless.

"You're right, I'm indeed afraid of death, so no matter what you do I won't resist."

Lei thought that if the black-haired man won, he could surrender early and get leniency. If he lost... he would then say that he was pretending to be friendly with the other party in order to confuse the enemy.

Qi Heng was silent for a while after hearing what Lei said. Were all the people he met spineless, or was it a common phenomenon to be spineless?

From 058 to Carlos, to Hawke and Lei in front of him, it seemed that none of them had any courage at all, and they all knelt down quickly and obediently in front of him.

If he asked this question to Lei, Lei would probably reply: Survival is an instinct. Who would want to be tough with an enemy who is obviously no match for him and will die if they fight?

[A0, I want to view the surveillance footage of the entire base, zooming in on where the other three Ikars are and the area where they're holding the Zerglings.]

[Use the equipment in the control room directly.]

As Qi Heng was speaking in his mind, scenes appeared on the screen in the main control room, including images of a laboratory, a lounge, and a bunch of locked-up insect cubs.

Lying on the ground, Lei was stunned by the changes in the control room.

What's going on? Has the Mastermind been hacked?

But when did this happen? Why didn't I notice it before?

Lei was bewildered.

Qi Heng's eyes swept across the screen in the laboratory, and his brows furrowed when he saw the experimental questions on the metal table in the laboratory.

Pictures are far more impactful than words.

Even though he was prepared, his chest was still filled with anger when he actually saw this scene. Looking at the unconscious cubs imprisoned in the cage, he realized that not having an outburst on the spot was a result of his extreme restraint and patience.

The appearance of the Zerg is no different from that of humans. Even though I don't put myself too much into the Zerg's shoes, I still can't help feeling sad for them.

Qi Heng's rationality always prevails over his emotions, and this is no exception now.

There is no point in getting angry now. The most important thing is how to rescue these cubs so that the Zerg will no longer become guinea pigs in the laboratory.

"You saw it." Qi Heng said to Lei Yi, "Falling Star Day, you should be familiar with it."

Ley: ...

Of course I am familiar with it. In the past three years since I came to Tianyun Star, I have been responsible for every falling star day.

Suddenly mentioning the Falling Star Day, what is he trying to do... Rhine had a bad feeling.

"I know that on Falling Star Day, the base you're at will be sending out the goods along with the other two bases..." Qi Heng said in a calm, relaxed tone, as if he were just discussing the weather. "My goal is simple. I want all the goods in this batch."

"Is there a problem?"

Ley: ——!! This is a big problem!

How come he said it as if it was as easy as eating a meal? ! ! Lei finally understood what the black-haired man was up to—he wanted to rob, and he wanted to make a huge profit!

You want them all!?! This is hilarious! Why don’t you just go and grab them?

"What do you think I'm doing right now?" Qi Heng smiled.

When Lei heard his words, he realized that he had spoken his true feelings without knowing when, and he choked up.
