Chapter 264: The Man-Eating Plant in the Dream
The day after Jiang Ran and his four companions left the base, Beichen Base received a text message from Xiling Base.
Chen Yao disappeared on the way to Beichen Base. Now Xiling Base is arranging a special ability team to search for her. The expedition team may not be able to arrive at Beichen Base as agreed.
Shen Yao is missing... The letter did not specify the location and reason for the disappearance, but Huo Sichan knew very well that in this world, disappearance means death and oblivion, and the possibility of the Shen family finding Shen Yao is very slim.
…
The Yancheng base has closed its gates in recent days and stopped accepting outsiders. It is said that this is because people from other bases' special ability teams are secretly searching for something outside. The people in charge of the base are worried that those people have bad intentions, so they closed the base gates.
After a few days of rest, Chen Yao's eyes gradually recovered from the darkness when she was first injured, and she can now receive faint light and shadows.
Qin Huai discovered her eye problem the day after he rescued her. It was rare for a man to get angry in front of her.
It wasn't a furious curse, but his voice was a little colder than before. Deep down inside, there was a fire that was burning more and more fiercely, which he was trying hard to suppress.
She doesn't understand.
She is a member of the Shen family, the enemy in his eyes. Shouldn't he be happy that she is blind?
Why is he so angry? What is there for him to be angry about?
She thought so and asked so.
Then, the man got up and left the room. He did not show up for the whole day, but in the evening he had someone deliver White Rabbit milk candy.
The White Rabbit was also the one he placed on the table when he first rescued her.
That night, Shen Yao had a dream.
In the dream, she was still a little child, sneaking into the garden on a foggy morning. The flowers in the garden were different from usual ones - they had distorted faces, and huge scarlet mouths opened and closed, as if they could swallow everything around them.
She was very scared and turned around and ran out, alone. She ran for a long time but couldn't find a way out.
Just when she was about to give up, she met a child about her age. The child was covered in wounds. When he saw her, he showed a terrified expression and turned around and ran away.
You can't go there, there are carnivorous plants there.
She opened her mouth, wanting to warn him, but found that she couldn't make a sound.
Don't go there, if you go, you will be doomed...
Come back, come back!
She woke up from her dream with a start, her pajamas soaked with cold sweat, and she couldn't help shivering when the wind blew.
The inexplicable dream kept her awake all night. The next day, she had dark circles under her eyes. The girl who came to bring her food thought she was sick and called Qin Huai over directly.
Knowing that she had insomnia, the man continued to taunt her: "Are you so worried about being caught by me that you can't sleep at night?"
“…”
"Don't worry, since I rescued you, I won't kill you easily. You can rest in peace."
He certainly didn't kill him casually, and she didn't doubt what he said.
As far as she knew, those who had offended him did not die simply in the end - she would never forget the tragic plight of Min He and Team 4.
Thinking of this, Shen Yao sighed, groped her way to the window and sat down.
Unable to see, only the warmth of the sun falling on her body could give her a sense of security.
Proof that she is still alive in this world.
…
The underground laboratory that had been torn to pieces by Si Xu was renovated, and the arena for raising zombies was put into use again. However, this time, the zombies raised inside were not ordinary zombies, but a group of mutated zombies.
Qin Huai first went to the arena to check on his pet, and then went to the interrogation room in the underground base.
"Hey, boss, you're here." There were quite a few people gathered in the interrogation room. When they saw him coming, they all greeted him politely.
Before Qin Huai came to Yancheng Base, the person in charge of this base would be changed every once in a while.
——The base implements a selection system that prioritizes strength. Anyone who feels they have the ability to be in charge, whether they are a psychic or an ordinary person, can challenge the current person in charge.
Of course, regardless of winning or losing, life and death are determined by fate.
After Qin Huai came, no one in the entire Yancheng base could match him. The Ability Team, which advocated strength above all else, elected him as the leader, and he has been in this position until now.
There were people who challenged him along the way - the miserable end of those people was unbearable to watch, and it also sounded a wake-up call for others who were eager to try.
Seeing so many people, Qin Huai wondered: "Why are you all gathered here?"
The man who greeted him chuckled and replied, "Didn't you bring back a new prey? I heard you were going to release it today, so we came to take a look."
It turned out that they were there to watch the fun. Qin Huai smiled and said, "The prey is in the third torture chamber. Go and take him to the arena."
The interrogation room is mainly prepared for traitors and enemies. People who enter the interrogation room usually never leave.
Recently, Qinhuai reorganized its arena and began to be keen on releasing animals.
The so-called release is to throw the prisoners in the interrogation room into the arena. When their superpowers are suppressed, if the prisoners can kill the zombies and walk out of the arena alive, they will be free again.
The release of animals regulations has been in place for so long, but no prisoner has ever been released alive.
Soon, the prisoner who was to be released this time was dragged out.
The man seemed to be frightened and collapsed on the ground, muttering: "Please forgive me, forgive me..."
After just a glance, Qin Huai looked away in boredom: "Throw it into the arena."
"Got it, Boss."
The man dragged the man away, but saw Qin Huai walking in another direction. He called out, "Boss, aren't you going to go and see?"
"No." Qin Huai sneered, "I'm not interested in trash."
He wasn't interested, but these people were keen to watch the prey struggle desperately in the arena. The man chuckled and said, "Then let's go, boss."
Qin Huai waved his hand, indicating that they could do as they pleased.
Liu Yao...After he captured him, he did not torture him. He just put him aside to watch while he interrogated other prisoners.
In less than a week, the guy was completely scared and broke down.
How boring.
Such a irresponsible coward actually tried to snatch the Xiling base from Shen Yang? Haha.
Shen Yang.
That man is also a mystery.
She was clearly a member of the Shen family, yet she chose to cooperate with him, placing that Yu family informant in the lab to give him the opportunity to escape... Before she even received any reward from him, she unexpectedly turned against him...
If he didn't know that the man was so scheming, he would have thought that he was just like him, doing everything for fun.
Obviously, that man was not.
So what was the reason for his puzzling transformation?
After dealing with Liu Yao, Qin Huai left the underground base through the back door, crossed a street, and returned to his residence.
Before entering the room, the man habitually looked up at the window on the second floor and saw the familiar figure of the girl.
He raised the corner of his mouth silently and pushed the door open.
