Chapter 68 Base Laboratory

Wen Yuan brought Shen Qianxun to a gate, where guards were stationed. This was the residence of Luo Wenjian, deputy base commander, in the villa area in the central area of ​​the base.

"What do you want?" One of the young guards reached out to stop the two men and spoke in a gentle tone.

"I'm Wen Yuan, captain of the Space Ability Team. I'm here to see Captain Luo Ji. I have something to tell you. Please pass it on."

The young guard heard Wen Yuan's name and checked the nameplate. "Okay, wait a moment."

Five minutes later, the guard trotted over to the two men, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a secretary. The man stepped forward, extended his hand, and said kindly, "Hello, Wen Yuan. I'm Director Luo Ji's secretary. You can call me Secretary Zhang."

Wen Yuan returned the handshake, "Hello Secretary Zhang, this is my friend Shen Qianxun, we have something to inform the base commander."

Seeing Secretary Zhang's hesitation, thinking that the other party was concerned about safety, Wen Yuan quickly handed his long sword and Shen Qianxun's Tang sword to the guard. Shen Qianxun had already taken off his mask and stood quietly aside.

Secretary Zhang looked at Shen Qianxun and felt that he looked familiar. After looking at him for several times, he said, “Come with me.”

Soon after, the two were taken to a room. In front of the desk, a middle-aged man in his early 40s put down the documents in his hand, adjusted his glasses, stood up and walked forward with a gentle smile, "Wen Yuan, right? Come, sit here." Secretary Zhang handed the tea to the two and then left.

Luo Wenjian has the typical appearance of a civil servant, with a friendly smile and looks very decent. He awakened the earth-related supernatural power after the end of the world and is currently in the middle stage of level two.

Looking at Wen Yuan with concern, he said, "I heard from Li Wenwen and the others that you were injured. How are you now?"

"I'm fine now, thank you for your concern, Base Commander."

Wen Yuan finished speaking and got straight to the point, "I came to see you, base commander, mainly to tell you something about Xu Zheng."

Then she told them that Xu Zheng had the ability to plunder and had taken the abilities from the two sisters one after another.

Luo Wenjian frowned after hearing this, extremely angry. "I didn't expect Xu Zheng to be such a person. I was heartbroken by his departure yesterday, but now it seems that a person like him would be a disaster if he stayed."

Turning to look at Wen Yuan, he asked, "So what's your situation now?"

Wen Yuan's face was filled with a hint of sadness. "I lost my gold-type ability, and now I'm just an ordinary person."

"Ah." Luo Wenjian sighed, his eyes full of heartache. "Don't be sad, you are quite skilled. I will arrange a suitable job for you."

Then he said earnestly, "The base will ultimately be responsible for your affairs. Please rest assured that your food and accommodation will be guaranteed."

Wen Yuan nodded without refusing.

"Base Commander, can you tell me how Xu Zheng died? He killed my sister and took away my superpowers. I need to know how he died so that I can feel at ease."

Luo Wenjian handed Wen Yuan a tissue and sighed helplessly, "According to reports from our subordinates, when they were isolated, both of them were fine at first, but that didn't last long. They both started to show signs of zombie transformation. It was already nightfall, and to avoid causing panic among others, the guards used silenced pistols to eliminate them."

He glanced at Wen Yuan and continued, "That night I ordered someone to take him to the crematorium for cremation."

After saying that, he stood up and returned to his desk, opened the drawer, returned to the sofa, and handed the two crystal cores to Wen Yuan.

"These are the crystal cores of Xu Zheng and Liu Tiantian. They both have no relatives at the base, so I kept them for now. Now that you're here, I'll give them to you."

Just then, the phone rang, "Excuse me, I have to go answer the phone first."

Wen Yuan and Shen Qianxun quickly stood up. Wen Yuan said, "Base Commander, please go ahead and do your work. We won't disturb you."

Since they couldn't get any information by staying any longer, they decided to go out and talk.

Luo Wenjian nodded and said to the door, "Secretary Zhang, please see you two off." He turned around and answered the phone.

Wen Yuan picked up the crystal core on the table and left with Secretary Zhang.

The door closed, and the smile on Luo Wenjian's face disappeared. His expression turned cold, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "The base commander is in trouble. Liu Tiantian has passed away."

Luo Wenjian took off his glasses, rubbed his sunglasses, leaned back in his chair, and said impatiently, "Hurry up and get rid of the body. Don't let Song Ping's people find it."

After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door, "Come in."

Secretary Zhang walked in and asked, "Base Commander, what happened?"

Luo Wenjian's face was gloomy. "Liu Tiantian is dead. What a useless thing."

Secretary Zhang bent down and said, "Why don't I go take a look."

Luo Wenjian exhaled, "Go ahead, but be careful not to get followed."

"Okay." Secretary Zhang turned and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, that girl next to me looks very familiar. I think I've seen her somewhere."

Luo Wenjian glanced at Secretary Zhang and sternly warned him, "Put away your cunning thoughts for now. Don't cause me any trouble at this critical moment."

The two have worked together for many years, and Luo Wenjian knows Secretary Zhang's private hobbies very well. Secretary Zhang, who looks gentle, actually likes to play with women in private, and many women have died at his hands.

Secretary Zhang felt wronged in his heart. Although he was really amazed when he saw Shen Qianxun, and he did have a lot of ideas, he was helpless now. He had a big fight two days ago, and taking medicine now was of no use.

Moreover, he really felt that the other person looked familiar, and if he had known it earlier, he would not have said it.

"Got it, Base Commander. I will definitely not cause any trouble for you during this period. I'll be leaving first."

After Secretary Zhang left, Luo Wenjian slammed the table hard, then closed his eyes and thought back to last night.

When Xu Zheng and his group told him about their experience, he became very interested in the zombie they mentioned and thought about how to capture it alive and study it carefully.

He didn't care much about what happened to Xu Zheng and the others, or what happened to Wen Yuan, until Xu Zheng told him privately that he had awakened the gold-type supernatural power. Listening to the other party's lame reason for awakening, Luo Wenjian was overjoyed in his heart.

Xu Zheng awakened the wood-type ability not long ago, which was much later than the awakening time of other ability users. Then it inexplicably turned into the gold-type ability. These two abilities are possessed by the two sisters Wen Yuan, and Xu Zheng was present. In addition, Wen Yuan is now in trouble, so he quickly connected the dots.

So, he had someone inject Xu Zheng with a special hallucinogen, and in a short while, Xu Zheng revealed his true supernatural powers.

This aroused the great interest of Luo Wenjian, who always liked to study special events in private. He could use this as an excuse to send Xu Zheng to his underground laboratory, along with Liu Tiantian who lived next door.

The reason why he indulged Liu Tiantian many times was because he was interested in her special space.

The two crystal cores given to Wen Yuan were also prepared by him in advance.

"It's useless. It's useless."

I was filled with disgust towards Liu Tiantian. I couldn't stand it after just one day in the laboratory.

Luo Wenjian pounded the table with a frantic smile, "Xu Zheng, you have to show some strength and hold on for a few more days."
