Chapter 78 Arrival in Haicheng
A group of people surrounded Cui Xiuyuan and the black cat.
Xu Fei asked his attendant with a shocked expression, "How did you run into him?"
The attendant replied dismissively, "We found it during the search."
Cui Xiuyuan also heard this and subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhi not far away, thinking that this person must have a problem, otherwise the captain would not have lied.
"What's going on here?" Yang Xie's cold voice rang out, directly asking Cui Xiuyuan.
Cui Xiuyuan recounted his story again, which was similar to what the law enforcement officer had told his attendants. It was unclear how much of it was a lie.
After a long while, Yang Xie said, "Captain Sui is right. If you want to bring this mutant into the base, you can only leave it in the laboratory."
This kind of thing has happened before; the old tree in Guquan Village is an example.
Cui Xiuyuan said unwillingly, "Xiao Hei is very obedient; it won't hurt anyone else."
“A species is a species, and whether it obeys or not, it is a threat to humanity.”
Upon hearing Yang Xie's words, which were filled with a chilling murderous aura, Sui Cheng's mind was shaken. He lowered his eyes, concealing the dark and ambiguous emotions within them.
Cui Xiuyuan glanced at his attendant with resentment. Yang Xie noticed this look and his eyes narrowed. "You said you saw people who control alien species pass by here and know where they went?"
“Yes, I can take you there.” Cui Xiuyuan used this opportunity to negotiate with Yang Xie.
But Yang Xie's attitude was very firm, and no matter how much he talked, he couldn't persuade him. In the end, he could only look to his attendant for help, thinking that his attendant would understand him. But to his surprise, his attendant said, "The vice captain makes all the decisions."
A cold glint flashed in Cui Xiuyuan's eyes, but he did not escape Yang Xie's gaze. In his mind, he labeled this person as an observer.
“We will leave Tianchi Town tomorrow morning. You have one night to think it over.” Yang Xie had Ming Tongguang take him away and called two other ability users to watch over the black cat.
After they had all left, he called out to his attendant and asked, "What else did this Cui Xiuyuan say to you?"
Sui Cheng shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything, he just wanted to bring the black cat into the base with him."
"Hmm." Yang Xie gave a curt "hmm," waved his hand, and signaled that he could leave.
After the car crew left, he asked Ai Ling beside him, "And did you find anything when you were investigating the law enforcement matters at the base?"
Ai Ling replied in a low voice: "His identity and information match perfectly, ruling out the possibility of someone impersonating him. His family and friends have disappeared without a trace since the start of the apocalypse, and we can't find anyone to confront. Vice Captain, do you really think there's something wrong with this person?"
According to her observation, Lawyer posed no threat to the base, so she couldn't understand why the vice-captain would go out of his way to investigate such an ordinary person.
Yang Xie shook his head and did not explain further to her.
Every time he saw Lu Zhi's vines, he had a strange feeling. The power contained in the vines seemed strong and weak, and even the supernatural aura emanating from Lu Zhi's body was very unstable.
He also investigated at the infirmary. The doctor who examined Lawyer said that most of his organs were damaged. If it weren't for his superpower having healing effects, he would probably have already passed away.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhi's body remained in a weakened state, but the power he occasionally unleashed was extremely strong.
He and Dang Hongyuan had discussed this matter seriously, but their final conclusion was that they needed to observe more and not draw conclusions on their own.
Meanwhile, in the car accompanying them, Lu Zhi leaned lazily on the shoulder of his passenger and said in a low voice, "It seems I underestimated the people from your base."
"Hmm?" the passenger asked him why he said that.
Lu Zhi casually remarked, "I think I'm being suspected by your vice-captain."
Sui Cheng was stunned for a moment, his expression solemn. He had thought about this day, but he hadn't expected Yang Xie's suspicion to come so quickly.
"It was my carelessness." Sui Cheng rubbed his temples and said, "The reason why Deputy Captain Yang has such a high position in the base is not only related to his special ability, but more importantly, he has an extraordinary keen observation ability."
"It doesn't matter." Lu Zhi wasn't afraid at all. He didn't intend to do anything excessive to their base. As long as they didn't provoke him, he could turn a blind eye for the sake of Sui Cheng.
Seeing the worry on his face, Lu Zhi reached out and pinched his cheek, reassuring him, "If I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"
"I wasn't worried about you." Sui Cheng awkwardly avoided his gaze and explained in a low voice, "Would I be worried about myself?"
"Hmm? So what is our captain worried about?" Lu Zhi leaned close to his ear, his warm breath brushing against the slightly reddened earlobe. "Is it because you're afraid of becoming a widow?"
Sui Cheng glared angrily at Lu Zhi.
There was no one else in the car. Lu Zhi teased him without restraint, grabbing his hand and placing it on his lap. A wicked smile played on his lips as he said in a low voice, "Look, the moment you glare at me, my blood boils. Baby, wouldn't you say that's seducing me?"
"roll!"
Suicheng felt that he and this person could never have a proper conversation; every time they talked, the topic would veer off course.
Seeing that the worry on his face had disappeared, Lu Zhi covered his mouth and laughed, "When will our Captain be able to be more straightforward?"
Sui Cheng rolled her eyes at him, opened the car door, and got out.
The next morning, before they set off, Xu Fei came to inform them that Cui Xiuyuan had made up his mind and wanted to talk to Yang Xie alone.
Yang Xie nodded in agreement, and Xu Fei brought Cui Xiuyuan over.
About half an hour later, the two got out of the car. They seemed to have had a fairly amicable conversation, but what happened next was even more surprising.
Yang Xie agreed to let Cui Xiuyuan bring the black cat along with them, but only for this part of the journey, which was also a test.
Cui Xiuyuan also told them about the new faction in exchange for the information.
A few days ago, the group that passed through Tianchi Town stayed there for a day and left on the evening of the day before yesterday. Cui Xiuyuan was curious about what these people did, so he asked the black cat to follow them to their next destination.
They went directly into Haicheng and waited at the highway exit for nearly two hours before several enclosed trucks appeared. They followed one of these trucks and stopped in a factory area on the outskirts of Hainan, where they never left.
Yang Xie carefully considered the information in his words, and then decided that after arriving in Haicheng, he would first meet up with the Haicheng garrison team, and then go to the factory to investigate.
They finally arrived in Haicheng in the afternoon.
You can see the boundless deep blue ocean from afar, as calm as a painting. Even before you get close to the shore, you can smell the salty sea breeze in the air.
Chen Jiang rolled down the car window and exclaimed, "I never imagined that my first time seeing the sea would be under these circumstances."
"It smells awful." Lu Zhi covered his mouth and nose in annoyance. The smell in the air made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he could even faintly smell a unique seafood odor coming from the other side of the sea.
"Does it smell bad?" Lin Zhi sniffed the air with a puzzled look, but didn't smell anything unpleasant.
"Does Brother Lv not like the sea?" Chen Jiang asked curiously.
Lu Zhi frowned and snuggled closer to Sui Cheng, burying his face in his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Never seen it before, don't like it."
