“You don’t need to tell me. I can ask.” Jiang Qingwan looked at Kang Xiyang, who was standing in the corner watching the show.
Kang Xiyang received a glance and tactfully moved closer.
Jiang Qingwan asked, "Has the mind-reading ability arrived?"
“Of course he’s here. I’ll go to the lounge next door and invite him over.” Kang Xiyang left the meeting room.
Only then did everyone realize that Kang Xiyang, Jiang Qingwan, and Ye Qi were actually in cahoots.
They know many things that others don't.
The same thought crossed everyone's minds: Kang Xiyang has managed to curry favor with a powerful figure.
Kang Xiyang reappeared in the conference room with a slender girl.
“I’ve brought the mind-reading ability user, but her time to use it is limited each time, so you need to finish asking her questions as soon as possible.”
"This is Colin, the mind reader."
He then patted Colin on the shoulder and entrusted her with an important task: "You must repeat Liang Zhixin's thoughts word for word."
Colin's confidence was undisguised. "Don't worry. I've been giving speeches since I was a kid. Memorizing long, tedious scripts is no problem for me, let alone this is just a retelling!"
Jiang Qingwan nodded to Colin and asked, "May I begin now?"
Colin replied, "Anytime is fine. It can only last for half an hour."
"That's enough," Jiang Qingwan said with a smile. "Now I'm going to start asking."
Liang Zhi still had his eyes closed, his face bruised and purple. If it weren't for his clenched fists, he would have looked like a corpse that had been beaten to death.
"First question: Who are the researchers involved in this experiment?"
"Second question: Who are the base members who are half-human, half-corpse like you?"
"Third question: Where are you hiding the finished product of the mutation potion you developed?"
"Fourth question: Who are the core members of the base faction you joined, the post-apocalyptic chaos faction?"
"Fifth question: Did you participate in the assassination attempt on Ye Qi? If so, who were the people involved?"
"Sixth question: Where are these so-called volunteers being held?"
"One last little bonus: How much longer will this silly goose who's always contradicting me live?"
Jiang Qingwan asked each question with a considerable amount of time between them.
Colin rattled off a long list of names, while Kang Xiyang busied himself recording.
Many of Kang Xiyang's acquaintances were among them, and the number of people in the meeting room was even greater.
Everyone paled slightly upon hearing the gentle female voice calling their name.
"What are you all standing there for? Run!" The quick-thinking members of the list, while Jiang Qingwan was still asking questions, prepared to run away, and reminded their accomplices around them.
This is clearly a major purge; if you don't run now, when will you?
The list member darted to the doorway in a flash, then "bang," bumped his head and got a big bump.
He then discovered that the door was open, but it was covered by a barrier.
They cannot escape.
Ye Qi stood at the door, witnessing all of this, and asked with amusement, "Was killing me fun?"
"No, no, no! This isn't fun! These are just orders from our superiors." The list members shook their heads frantically, waving their hands in the air as if this would absolve them of their guilt.
"But I think it's really fun," Ye Qi laughed to himself, as gentle as a spring breeze in March, but in the eyes of those people, it was as if it were soaked with endless rain.
"So, it's my turn to play."
"None of you will escape."
Ye Qi scanned them and spoke, word by word.
His words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were merely stating objective facts.
The members of the list were not exactly peaceful to begin with, and seeing that Ye Qi wouldn't listen to reason, they started fighting directly.
Various superpowers recklessly hurled themselves towards the doorway, but they all seemed to have eyes, dodging past Ye Qi.
It must be said that these people are very perceptive.
They knew that if they made a move against Ye Qi, Jiang Qingwan would definitely take action.
But if they simply escape, Jiang Qingwan might not have the time or inclination to chase after them.
It's probably that good-for-nothing Kang Xiyang, who's clinging to powerful figures and obsessed with women, who's coming to hunt them down. That'll be much slower.
They can go to other bases to lie low, and there will always be a time for them to make a comeback.
The superpowers were slammed into the doorway all at once, causing ripples in the air, but without the slightest crack.
"Ah!!!" The silly, silly scream echoed throughout the conference room.
When asked the last question, Liang Zhi, unusually, opened his eyes and even managed a smile, personally answering the question: "Two hours."
When the simpleton heard that Liang Zhi, whom he had been fervently supporting, had declared his death sentence, his face turned as white as a corpse that had been dead for three days.
He was furious. He rushed to Liang Zhi's side, and seeing Liang Zhi's weak appearance, he slapped him twice across the face.
"I fucking thought you were a good person, and this is how you treat me?"
With a swollen face, Liang Zhi forced a smile. "It's because your body is too weak to withstand the latest trace mutation antibodies from zombies that I extracted. You probably have kidney deficiency."
"You—", the simple-minded man was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he was about to continue fighting, using his fists to express everything.
Jiang Qingwan naturally wouldn't ignore it, saying, "Stop hitting me. I told you I'm useful."
"He's already confessed, what's the use now?" The simple-minded man pointed at Liang Zhi, suppressing the urge to continue hitting him.
"Of course, he should be paraded through the streets and executed in public. Letting him die so unjustly in the conference room would only invite more brainless fans like you who can't distinguish right from wrong," Jiang Qingwan rolled her eyes at the silly girl.
The simple-minded man suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Qingwan, crying and saying, "Sister Jiang, please, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please save me!"
"He can't be saved." Jiang Qingwan had already shrewdly avoided kneeling when the simpleton was about to kneel down, and gave him a pitying look before pronouncing his death sentence for the second time.
Silly and foolish, he covered his face and pounded the ground, his whole being in a very strange and frenzied state.
"No! I don't believe it!! You could tell I was going to die, how could you not save me! It must be because you're angry!!!"
Jiang Qingwan glanced at his body and noticed that his kidneys were the weakest area in terms of vital energy. It was rare for him to be on the same side as Liang Zhi.
"He's right, you do have kidney deficiency. This is the consequence of your frequent womanizing. If you could become half-human, half-corpse, there might still be hope once the new research results come out."
The silly boy looked up at Jiang Qingwan expectantly, hoping she would say what he wanted to hear.
Jiang Qingwan shook her head. "Unfortunately, in your case, the zombie virus will erode your kidneys, and then you will turn into a zombie."
The light in the silly boy's eyes gradually faded.
He suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he no longer even had the courage to fight.
A series of mournful laughs escaped his throat.
Jiang Qingwan never had any extra sympathy for people who brought trouble upon themselves.
Seeing that the silly boy was no longer bothering him, his gaze fell on a group of members on a list who were jumping around and trying to escape at the door.
