Chapter 71 Please help!
There really are spy drones.
When the spy drone flew within 30 meters, Qin Tianshuo sensed the faint electromagnetic signal and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
Someone is spying!
Perhaps because he accurately looked in the direction of the drone and showed his face on the screen, people in the rice paddies that were swaying too much immediately stood up.
Seven or eight dark gun barrels were pointed at them.
Spy drones have appeared, and combat drones, which are in stealth mode at higher altitudes, have also flown into the visible range.
The night was filled with deadly intent; the two were completely surrounded by it, with no blind spots!
"This time, damn it..." Qin Tianshuo's face turned pale. He hurriedly pulled out his phone and dialed an emergency number for Qi An:
"Sister Qi, Sister Qi, please help me!"
The room was quiet, the air so tight it felt suffocating, making the vibration of Qi An's phone in his pocket all the more noticeable and abrupt.
Qi An took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then turned it off.
She put down her chopsticks and said coldly to Li Heng, "It's good that you knew beforehand. It will save us a lot of trouble by negotiating with you face to face."
Li Heng was still picking at his food when he said, "Oh?" "What conditions do you want to discuss?"
Qi An said, "Please release my friend who came from afar, as well as Chen Xi and Lin Jiaran, and stop the reproductive experiments."
We'll keep the secret about your identity to ourselves and never reveal it for the rest of our lives.
Li Heng's reaction was somewhat strange. He seemed to ponder the word "we" carefully, then smiled and asked, "Friends?"
Qi An frowned.
Li Heng asked, "Can you really control pollution? How? By polluting yourself?"
Qi An frowned even more, wondering if this information was also in that 10% of her inner thoughts? She seemed to have thought about this more than once these past few days...
She immediately interrupted her train of thought and said in a deep voice, "Don't go off-topic, Mr. Li, we're discussing terms right now. What do you think of the terms I've proposed?"
Li Heng smiled and said, "Deserters have always been beheaded. Those who trespass on other bases without orders can also be shot on sight."
You think you can save so many lives and an A-level research project with a single rumor?
His laughter had a clear mocking tone, which surprised Qi An.
"You are truly extraordinary. The pandemic has killed billions of people! As one of the perpetrators, you can speak of the past with such nonchalance."
Li Heng remained silent, still reaching out with his chopsticks to pick up food. Qi An made a lightning-fast move, trying to grab the hand that was reaching out to him.
But the hand reacted just as quickly as hers, its wrist sinking and the chopsticks snapping against Qi An's palm.
At the same time, a guard who had been standing far away by the drawn curtains suddenly appeared behind Qi An, pressing the barrel of his gun against the back of her neck.
Li Heng's chopsticks fell again, tapping the edge of the celadon plate.
Those were small silver chopsticks, and they made quite a noise, but it was quiet outside, and Ding Ze didn't ask any questions.
Qi An felt a chill on the back of her neck. She slowly leaned back in her chair and smiled.
"Looking at my memories only gives me a subjective understanding, but not looking at them won't change the objective fact of what you did."
Your attitude suggests that you believe we lack empirical evidence.
Indeed, you are a completely different person now than you were before.
When Chen Yuezhou was young, he regarded Li Heng as "the disease itself" and as a nightmare-like demon.
The Li Heng in his memory had already been filtered through a "demon" lens, yet he still appeared short and strange.
Although Li Heng was young at that time, his face was covered with wrinkles, his eyes were hidden in his black hair, and he was gloomy, cold, and lacked vitality.
Li Heng is now 20 years older, with graying temples and many wrinkles on his face, but his features are completely different.
Chen Yuezhou had already recalled that about a year after the apocalypse began, the new base was still incomplete and its outer defenses were quite rudimentary.
On one occasion, a worm broke into the central area of the base and injured Li Heng.
Chen Yuezhou was still young at the time. He was on the periphery of the crowd and only saw Li Heng being surrounded and carried to a temporary hospital.
After that, Li Heng's appearance changed.
Later, no one remembered that Li Heng's appearance had changed.
As the new student base grew stronger year by year, Li Heng, who never liked to show his face, retreated further and further into the background.
He almost never takes photos or records videos.
The new student base has a base director and a commander-in-chief, and these people naturally appear in speeches during holidays and festivals.
In this world, very few people know that "Li Bingzhu" exists, let alone know about his past.
With the gun pointed at him, Qi An slowly said, "You're quite cautious. Was the theft from the North 1 Base archives done by your spies?"
Although it was a question, her expression and tone were very confident:
"After the military took over the research on the Kuroshio virus, the researchers who were dismissed all signed confidentiality agreements."
You sent people to infiltrate the archives over several years, destroying both the original confidentiality agreements and the electronic records.
Because the confidentiality agreement has your handwritten signature and fingerprint.
You have cleaned up all the places you've been to since childhood—schools, workplaces, homes—wherever your notes and biometric information might remain.
There is nothing left in this world that can prove you are Li Heng.
Although Chen Yuezhou unexpectedly regained his memory, his accusations alone were far too weak.
Li Heng picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Qi An also picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks. "You are so cautious because you know that everyone born before the apocalypse, except for orphans or a very few lucky ones, has relatives or friends who were killed by the virus."
She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the male guard who was pointing a gun at her.
The man's face was dark, like a Rakshasa statue sculpted from black mud.
Because Qi An was moving around, Rakshasa pushed the gun barrel forward again, as if pressing down on Qi An's neck to force her to lower her head.
Qi An didn't lower her head; she stared at Li Heng and said, "You must have loyal subordinates."
But among these subordinates, there must be some who had lost loved ones to the virus and were filled with hatred.
Once your past identity and the things you've done are exposed, people will come looking for revenge in droves.
The most dangerous people are those around you.
Even if there's no hatred between you and those around you, like your commander-in-chief or your base commander, don't they harbor any ambitions for further advancement?
Qi An has purified countless people, and 90% of them have painful memories of the apocalypse and the sudden destruction of their families.
This is a collective shadow, and only a collective, carnival-like trial and slaughter can quell it!
Qi An ate the fish: "You can kill me, and you can kill my friends too."
But once we die, hundreds of scheduled emails will be sent to hundreds of important inboxes at midnight tonight.
The email contained very little information, just a detailed description of your background, your current status, and your past deeds.
Of course, there will also be a comparison of your old and current photos, and a DNA record.
Hearing this, Li Heng finally looked up: "Where did this DNA come from?"
“Your father really did take your blood sample to do a paternity test,” Qi An said.
Li Heng was taken aback.
Qi An said, "Your subordinates jokingly say that you treat Chen Yuezhou like a son."
Chen Yuezhou remembered that you said you didn't know how to be a father, and that your father had never wanted you.
We were just brainstorming based on this idea, trying anything as a last resort.
It was Tan Fu who came up with this idea.
Qi An's thoughts sometimes jump around, but Tan Fu's are even more so.
The best private hospital in the area has a record of the assessment results.
Li Heng is his father's biological son. It's hard to say whether this outcome will make his father happy or even more unhappy.
Li Heng put down his chopsticks and stared intently at Qi An.
Sending hundreds of emails at once essentially exposes the secret to the world.
They certainly don't have his current DNA, but someone will come to verify it, perhaps one after another.
His high-ranking subordinates were not all truly loyal.
Some of the veterans at the new student base, like Chen Yuezhou, knew that his face had changed. If they could find Qi An, would they also be able to regain their memories, just like Chen Yuezhou?
The North 1 base will inevitably seize this opportunity to annex the new base, and they are very likely to support a "usurper".
If the authorities intervene, he will have no chance of a peaceful end unless he is forced to destroy the new base and defect to the Fallen Insects.
Of course, forcing someone with this tactic will not end well either.
Li Heng squinted at the girl opposite him.
The girl was in a fighting stance, her expression one of wanting to protect something, and it was extremely sincere.
"Release my friend, stop the reproductive experiments, and let's keep this secret to ourselves."
Her voice was cold as she repeated her conditions.
Li Heng remained silent.
