When was the last time you saw Zhao Yang?

This is a cramped and rudimentary interrogation room partitioned off by partitions.

The two safety officers in front of me had very serious expressions.

Lin Xi said, "My friends and I saw him at lunchtime in the cafeteria."

Where were you between 1 and 2 p.m. today?

Lin Xi met the questioner's gaze directly, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and asked in return, "Did Zhao Yang die around this time?"

One security guard was writing rapidly with his pen, while another looked at Lin Xi and replied, "After the forensic examination of the body, it was determined that it occurred around this time period."

Lin Xi nodded.

Logically speaking, the time should be a little after 1 p.m.

She was on her way to report to the leader of the Wind Eagle Regiment at that moment.

"After I finished lunch, I went to the offices of several group leaders of the Wind Eagle Regiment."

Why do you want to join the Wind Eagle Legion?

"Go and let the team leader know you're safe."

The people in the safe zone had all heard about Celine being framed by Zhao Yang and subsequently captured by a high-level zombie.

The safety officer continued, "Can anyone prove that you went directly to the Wind Eagle Regiment and didn't stop at any other places along the way?"

Lin Xi said, "Chen Jin and I went together after lunch yesterday. He can testify for me."

The safety officer nodded and gestured to another person to take notes.

He continued, "Miss Celine, one last question. I heard that Zhao Yang almost cost you your life. Don't you hate him at all?"

The other person's gaze was intense, staring directly into her eyes.

Lin Xi lowered her eyes, concealing her emotions, and continued truthfully, "Hate."

The security guard was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to be so blunt. "So I can interpret your statement as you having a motive to kill him, right?"

Lin Xi let out a laugh. "I wonder, safety officer, if you've ever experienced the same thing as me, do you hate the person who hurt you?"

The security guard nodded. "I hate him, I wish I could kill him. That's why we suspected you."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"We will continue our investigation."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I can't find it."

After all the questioning was over, she was temporarily sent back to her dormitory.

An hour later, she received a call from Chen Jin.

The voice on the other end was anxious, "Celine, do you know Zhao Yang is dead? They're still suspecting you! I was with you the whole time, how could you have done it!"

Lin Xi curled her lips into a smile, "Did the security officer tell you they suspect I'm the murderer?"

"Yeah, it's absolutely outrageous."

"Yes, they have already contacted me."

Chen Jin said indignantly, "Huh? Why did they come after you? They still did those things to you. Even if you really killed him, he deserved it."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's alright."

Because she had already prepared someone to act as her alibi.

This person is Chen Jin, who is currently on the phone with her.

After finishing lunch, Lin Xi launched a soul search on Zhao Yang and extracted his memories before finally deciding that he could not leave such a menace alive.

Afterwards, she originally wanted to go straight back to the dormitory so that Xu Youjia and Yang Qiwen could prove that they had not gone anywhere else.

Therefore, there is no evidence pointing to her at all. In everyone's eyes, Celine's superpower is earth-based and enhanced.

In everyone's mind, if Celine wanted to eliminate someone, she would inevitably leave behind some evidence such as fingerprints or footprints.

They couldn't gather that kind of evidence, and they couldn't convict her based solely on the feud between Celine and Zhao Yang.

After all, there are plenty of people in this safe zone who have grudges against Zhao Yang.

Chen Jin suddenly said, "I just saw those three people who were in the same team as Zhao Yang in the last mission."

Lin Xi smiled, realizing that her guess was indeed correct.

Sure enough, without evidence, they could only guess.

Moreover, the range of suspects they've narrowed down is far too broad; ultimately, there will only be one possible conclusion.

That is—suicide.

The next day, Lin Xi dressed neatly and went to the assembly point with them.

They are used to waking up early, so there were already quite a few people talking on the training field at this time.

"What happened? I was suddenly taken away by the security guard."

Lin Feng sighed, "You saw it too? Zhao Yang died yesterday."

"ah?"

"Serves him right! He stole our car that day and didn't care whether we lived or died."

"Yeah, we've lived with him for so long, we thought he'd show some mercy, but who knew he'd be so ruthless as to want to kill us."

...

Jiang Chuan and Uncle Lin already knew about this yesterday.

They were unmoved by Zhao Yang's death, but Jiang Chuan glanced at Lin Xi indifferently.

He noticed Zhao Yang's unusual behavior yesterday at noon; he had seen him in this state twice before during missions.

One time it was from the mid-level zombie in Yongyi Tower, and another time it was from the high-level zombie that drove them all to the brink of despair.

However, this state of affairs did not last long.

Jiang Chuan also found this strange.

We will officially assemble at 9:00 AM.

Today, the speaker on stage is the group leader of Group Five.

After a string of official pronouncements, it all boils down to one key point.

They are too weak and need more intensive training.

For some reason, Lin Xi naturally thought of Lu Mingxing and the others, due to a bad premonition.

"Of course, we are also fortunate to have invited several outstanding members of the Blazing Fire Squad. Now, let's welcome them with warm applause!"

Lin Xi's brow twitched!

Two cool guys in leather jackets stood there, with a large vat next to them who had actually lost a lot of weight.

Yang Qiwen stood in the next group's line, looking at the people on stage with a smile, and said, "Oh, there are two handsome young men here too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hou's expression turned rather unpleasant.

Lin Xi secretly observed their expressions, then silently turned her gaze back to the three people on the stage.

The group leader, with his hands behind his back, continued the introduction, "This gentleman on the right is Tang He, a level four metal element control ability user."

Upon hearing "Level 4," everyone in the audience gasped in shock.

How come someone has reached level four so quickly?

It's only been two or three months since the zombie outbreak!

"The one in the middle has lightning-attribute superpowers, level four, Lu Mingxing."

Another gasp rippled through the room.

This is also level four, and it even has a mutated superpower!

"There is one more, a level three water-attribute control ability."

The audience was completely silent.

Well, that's alright, it seems pretty impressive.

However, there are four or five new ability users who joined the Wind Eagle Gang, and they don't seem to be as impressive as the previous two.

"For the next week, these three will serve as your sparring partners."

Lin Xi: ...

I really will thank you!
