Chapter 114 Forerunner
The scene was eerily quiet.
Only faint breathing sounds could be heard.
What was that just now? A figure leaped out of the smoke, then moved with incredible speed past the zombies and stopped on an inconspicuous car.
Su Mai was so shocked by the sight that he could barely hold the walkie-talkie in his hand.
The underling next to him couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's that? Is it some kind of 'lightness skill'? Does 'lightness skill' actually exist?"
Everyone saw it.
That graceful figure.
He walked cleanly and efficiently through the horde of zombies.
It landed quietly on the car.
Su Mai's gaze remained heavy as he stared intently at the figure. "A special person."
It was only then that he suddenly realized what was happening.
Why is Ningmeng so arrogant and reckless?
Is it simply because they are geniuses?
Su Mai hadn't really grasped the concept until he witnessed what happened today, and then he suddenly realized what was going on.
The reason why the Ning Alliance is so domineering is because they are powerful.
Therefore, they can ignore the laboratory, ignore the rules, and even ignore man-made monsters like zombies.
What Su Mai can figure out, the people in the lab can naturally figure out too.
"So, are you going to come out here, or should I just punch your car to pieces?"
The van finally slowly rolled down its window.
The two locked eyes.
The person in the laboratory was a middle-aged man with a full beard and a heavy look in his eyes.
The moment Ji Zai saw him, he said, "It's not you."
The middle-aged man pushed up his glasses. "What do you mean it wasn't me?"
The middle-aged man was surprised, not because of Ji Zai's strength.
They were surprised by the age recorded in the records.
Perhaps no one could have imagined this.
The leader of the Ning Alliance is actually a beautiful young woman.
This is absolutely astonishing.
Not only him, but everyone around who heard this looked on in shock, not for any other reason than the sound itself.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Who would have thought that the leader of the Ning Alliance was actually a woman?
But Ji Zai didn't care what they were thinking at the moment. She stared at the middle-aged man in front of her and seemed to smile. "Where is the head of the laboratory?"
"Or perhaps I should be more specific."
"Where is that old geezer, Ling Zhe?!"
A look of horror flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but before he could say anything, a throwing knife stopped him.
The knife came from the shadows.
Ji Zai dodged to the side.
"Run!"
It was a deep, resonant sound coming from the shadows.
Ji Zai looked at the group of people, but was stopped by the zombies. She nonchalantly took out a bomb, and with a bang, everything returned to calm. "Sigh, I never thought that one day, the inspectors would collude with the pioneers. Clearly, the inspectors exist to stop the pioneers from going crazy."
The bomb exploded.
The van was speeding away.
Ji Zai said no more and chased after the car, "Ouyang, it's yours now."
Ouyang Yi stepped out from the shadows. "Okay."
The man then emerged from the shadows.
The two locked eyes.
Sitting next to the man was an unexpected figure.
Ouyang Yi laughed emotionlessly. "Qin Guanlan? I never expected to meet you like this. The collusion between capital and the laboratory is an age-old truth."
When Qin Guanlan saw Ouyang Yi, his heart skipped a beat, but seeing her cold eyes, his heart sank further.
He asked, "Ouyang Yi."
Before Ouyang Yi could answer, Nan Yao walked over and said, "How interesting. You have to use the temptation of meeting before fighting. Can't you be serious? We're rivals!"
Qin Guanlan narrowed his eyes when he saw Nan Yao. "Nan Yao."
Nan's family is quite well-off.
Therefore, Qin Guanlan also recognized her.
However, he did not expect that Nan Yao was also a member of the Ning Alliance.
Nan Yao greeted him with a smile, "Don't look down on me. I'm also a capitalist's child, but I've entered a different power structure. Well, for families like ours, we're easily swayed by the winds."
"I'll deal with Qin Guanlan."
Ouyang Yi nodded and ran quickly toward the man. The man raised his eyes and fired a shot.
Ouyang Yi easily dodged it.
Everything happened too fast.
Before anyone could react, they saw the two people entangled in mid-air.
The man quickly stopped in his tracks. "You're also an inspector. That girl was someone you have to obey."
Ouyang Yi did not deny it, "Yes."
"Then you know, those people are crazy. They'll give up anything for their ambitions."
“I know.” Ouyang Yi’s tone was calm. “There is always a special group of people in the world. They have brilliant minds and are far ahead in the field of exploring the world. Therefore, this group is also called pioneers! Pioneers are all geniuses, and geniuses often bear too many secrets. They know too many secrets, and they often do things that ordinary people cannot understand. Because these things are too shocking, people also call pioneers madmen. When this group of madmen appears and gathers together, all countries realize that this group of madmen will get out of control. In order to restrain them, they set up the position of inspector.”
"And the inspectors' responsibility is to stop them from going crazy."
As she spoke, she also noticed the curiosity of the ordinary people around her. Their eyes held fear, apprehension, and disbelief—all expressions she had expected.
Ouyang Yi neither looked at them nor thought about what they knew.
Because ordinary people simply cannot understand what she is saying.
She lowered her eyes. "But now, what do you think you've done? You've been aiding and abetting evil, helping your pioneers to devastate an entire city."
The man didn't feel upset when he heard this. "I always thought that the pioneers were all crazy, until the crazy person I was protecting dragged me into the world of madness. I found that I was going crazy too."
Ouyang Yi frowned as she saw the man's pitying gaze.
He said, "Young inspector, did your predecessors tell you the truth about this world?"
Before she could answer, the man continued, "I swear, your predecessors will go mad too."
Hearing this, Ouyang Yi shook her head, "Ji Zai may really be a madwoman, but she will never become one of you."
Why are you so sure?
"Because she is Ji Zai."
Ouyang Yi said, "When I passed the exam to become an inspector, I knew that I would be protecting the Pioneers. Before that, I had heard about the Pioneers' madness, so I was very nervous and flustered. But when I saw the information about the Pioneer I was going to protect, I felt that my anxiety was unnecessary."
"Because I have never seen fear in her eyes."
"But you see it."
Ouyang Yi entangled the man.
Ji Zai was chasing after the car, yelling, "Ling Zhe, get out here! Didn't you say you wanted a one-on-one fight? Get out here!"
"Pah! If I had known that you were the leader of the Ning Alliance, I wouldn't have even shown my face."
