Chapter 133 Disappeared
He remained in a coma for nearly two weeks before waking up.
This time the loss of control over my superpowers was quite severe, and my superpowers have been depleted, so I need to recuperate slowly.
The second major upheaval has passed, and the energy level in the air has returned to normal.
Sui Cheng slowly opened his eyes. The bright lights made his eyes uncomfortable, and he secreted physiological tears.
Before his thoughts could return to normal, he stared blankly at the ceiling after his eyes adjusted to the light, his memories of the time before he lost consciousness flooding back into his mind.
“Law Enforcer…” He quickly sat up, startling the people around him.
"Brother, you're finally awake! I'll go call the doctor!" Sui Ling pressed the call button with great joy, waiting for the doctor to come and examine him.
A few minutes later, not only the doctor arrived, but also Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie, and Tan Qingjia and the others stood outside the door looking inside.
"Captain Sui is fine now, he just needs a few days of rest." The doctor could tell they had something important to discuss, and he quickly left after the examination.
"Law enforcement..."
"Law enforcement..."
Sui Cheng and Dang Hongyuan spoke in unison, looking at each other, with Dang Hongyun's expression being particularly solemn.
"Where is he?" Sui Cheng still remembered how Lu Zhi had vomited blood and lost his life in his arms, and now he asked this question to confirm whether he was still alive.
"It's gone."
Dang Hongyuan's answer made the passenger's heart skip a beat for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and even breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of answer actually proves that the law enforcement officer should be fine.
"His identity as a Law Enforcer has been exposed. People in the base have some reservations about him... and you too. The Commander is waiting for you to wake up so he can explain things. The atmosphere might be a bit tense. If you don't want to..."
“I can go.” The attendant interrupted Dang Hongyuan. He lowered his eyes, his figure thinner and his face pale and broken, because he had been lying in the hospital for more than ten days. “Actually, I was prepared long ago, ever since you began to suspect him.”
Dang Hongyuan's expression was somewhat complicated. He exchanged a glance with Yang Xie beside him, sighed, and asked, "Do you know where Lu Zhi's true form is?"
These words struck a chord with the passenger. A flicker of wariness crossed his eyes as he asked, "Why do you ask that?"
“After you fell into a coma, the people in the lab tried to take Lu Zhi’s body away, but he simply disappeared, as if he had never existed. So Professor Zhang Jun suspects that this is not his original body, and the only one who knows the whereabouts of his original body is you.”
Sui Cheng fell silent. Under the watchful eyes of Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie, he rubbed his temples and said, "To be honest, I don't know either."
Dang Hongyuan was taken aback. He looked closely at his expression and realized that he didn't seem to be lying.
Sui Cheng knew what he was thinking and explained, "Lu Zhi did not tell me the exact location of his true form. If you want to find him from me, you will be disappointed."
"I understand. You get some rest. I'll talk to the lab about it."
"Um."
As they watched them leave, Tan Qingjia and the others hesitantly entered.
The group looked hesitant, and Sui Cheng, leaning against the headboard, knew what they wanted to ask and said calmly, "Ask whatever you want."
Lin Zhi shrank back and whispered, "Brother Lü, is it a mutant?"
“Yes, didn’t you see it?” the attendant said softly.
Lin Zhi swallowed hard and asked again, "Did the captain know all along?"
The passenger nodded: "Mm."
Lin Zhi asked again, "Knowing he was a mutant, you never even thought of killing him. Captain, you... really like him, don't you?"
This question left the passenger speechless.
Lin Zhi, fearing he might misunderstand, quickly waved her hand and explained, "That's not what I meant. I just... I was surprised."
“If I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t have kept him by my side,” the passenger replied.
Lin Zhi's face turned red, and she held back many words.
Zhang Meng interjected, "But he is, after all, a different species."
Sui Cheng lowered his eyes, his expression looking somewhat abnormal. Just as he was about to speak, Sui Ling interrupted, "But Brother Lu has never done anything to betray my brother or the base. He even protected us. If it weren't for him, would the base still be so safe now?"
That's right, it was the law enforcement that protected the base.
Sui Ling grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her face turned red as she was about to start cursing.
She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Zhang Meng, saying, "So what if he's a mutant? Even if Brother Lu is a mutant, he's a good one. It's one thing for those people outside to talk nonsense, but why are you all saying that about him too!"
Zhang Meng dared not speak again.
Tan Qingjia quickly calmed Sui Ling down and explained, "That's not what we meant, we just wanted to clarify."
Sui Ling took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and sat down next to Sui Cheng. Afraid that he would be sad, she comforted him, "Brother, you can't believe what people outside are saying. I believe in you and Brother Lu."
Sui Cheng was a little confused. He didn't know what people outside were saying, but judging from Sui Ling's reaction, it was probably not good stuff.
"What's the situation outside?" the passenger asked, changing the subject.
Lin Zhi and the others dared not mention the matter of the law enforcement anymore, and told him what had happened during the time he was unconscious.
The first thing is that the second major catastrophe has ended, and now 80% of the people in the base are superhumans, which provides greater security for human survival.
The second thing is that Base One has been taken over by Yangxie, but the main personnel of the base and the plunderers have all fled.
The third thing was that Zhong Ling was rescued. On the day Cecil attacked the base, the new generation took advantage of the chaos to rescue Zhong Ling and the others. Although they were discovered in time, Zhong Ling and her teammate Zhuang Zhong still managed to escape.
The attendant frowned and asked, "What about Xuan Linwen?"
“He didn’t leave,” Tan Qingjia said. “Actually, he didn’t want to leave. Judging from the surveillance footage, the new generation of people originally wanted to take him away, but he went to the laboratory on his own initiative, so they couldn’t find him and simply gave up.”
Sui Cheng's brows relaxed as he said, "Of course he won't leave. Most of the new generation aren't here to rescue him, but to kill him."
The rest were minor matters. After they finished speaking, Dang Hongyuan sent someone to find the attendant and asked him to go to the headquarters.
Sui Ling was a little worried about him, so she called out to him before he left, grabbed his hand, and used her special ability under Sui Cheng's questioning gaze.
“From today onwards, I will be his sole designated guardian…”
"Commander, the Law Enforcer is my alien species..."
Amidst the chaotic sounds, Sui Ling saw a scene: in the distant Xinghai City, the city ruins were covered by lush vines, and no one could get close to it. Sui Cheng stood in front of the vines, and anyone else who approached would be attacked, except for him.
"Let me in, or you'll face the consequences."
...
"Xiao Ling, what did you see?" Sui Cheng quickly realized that Sui Ling was using her skill.
"Phew." Sui Ling was covered in sweat. She sat on the hospital bed with a relaxed smile on her face. "I'll go see if my brother went to see Brother Lu."
The passenger paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you find it?"
"Found it."
