Chapter 79 Boyfriend
"Captain Yangxie, Special Operations Team Five reporting for duty."
They were met by the Fifth Special Operations Team stationed in Haicheng.
They were taken to the camp established by the Huaxia base in Haicheng, which was also the location of Haicheng's naval forces.
The captain of the fifth team arranged suitable accommodations for them and asked if they wanted to rest.
Yang Xie shook his head and refused, but told the others to settle the supplies, and then called his companions and Xu Fei to go directly to the factory that Cui Xiuyuan had mentioned.
He didn't bring his own teammates, but instead had them keep an eye on Cui Xiuyuan and Black Cat.
This time, the law enforcement officer couldn't go along because he only invited one person to accompany him.
He watched with a bitter expression as Sui Cheng followed Yang Xie and the others away. Only when he sensed the vines on Sui Cheng's body did he feel a little relieved. As long as the vines were still there, there wouldn't be any major problems.
"Captain Sui, how did you meet that guy named Lu Zhi? And why did you let him join your team?"
Sui Cheng was already mentally prepared for Yang Xie's sudden question and calmly replied, "I saved his life. His superpower has a healing effect, so it's suitable for our team."
Yang Xie then asked, "But I heard he's in poor health. Will it be convenient for you to move around with him?"
The attendant said without changing his expression, "He can take care of himself and can ensure that he doesn't cause any trouble, so there's nothing inconvenient about it."
"I've also heard that your relationship with him is unusual?" Yang Xie pressed on, scrutinizing Sui Cheng's expression with each question, but found nothing amiss.
“Vice Captain, shouldn’t this be my private matter?” the attendant replied. “Even if he were me…”
Under the watchful eyes of Yang Xie and Xu Fei, Sui Cheng feigned composure and said, "So what if he's my boyfriend?"
Although the two had anticipated his answer about traveling with them, they were still somewhat surprised to hear him admit it himself.
“It really has nothing to do with me,” Yang Xie said. “I overstepped my bounds, but I was just worried about his unknown identity and background.”
"I understand," the passenger nodded magnanimously.
...
The factory area was a ruin, with overgrown weeds obscuring the path. Xu Fei found tire tracks on the main road, and the tracks looked very fresh, so they must have been left in the last few days.
Following the direction of the tire tracks, you can roughly find the location of the factory that the new generation of people went to.
They cautiously explored the path, following the trail until they found the most remote factory. It was more like a warehouse where the factory stored its goods than a factory.
Two small trucks were parked outside, and the warehouse door was wide open, but there was no sign of anyone moving inside.
Yang Xie made a gesture, and Xu Fei and his attendant nodded. The two of them separated and approached the warehouse from the left and right sides.
I used my special ability to sense things a little, but I didn't find any alien species or anything like that inside.
After approaching the truck, they first checked the cargo box and the driver's seat, but found nothing unusual.
Xu Fei wondered if all these people had already left.
They continued approaching the warehouse door, but their detectors detected no signs of any alien species. They hid under a window and peered inside. It looked like someone had lived there; there were piles of miscellaneous items and scattered trash on the floor, but they didn't see anyone.
After thoroughly inspecting the surrounding area, they returned to Yangxie to report the situation.
"There's no one inside, no aliens, the vehicle is normal and doesn't look abandoned, and there are no signs of a struggle inside, so perhaps those people have already left."
After Xu Fei finished her report, Yang Xie went to check on the passengers.
The passenger nodded in agreement, saying, "There's nothing unusual at all. If those people haven't left, then this is a trap."
Xu Fei guessed, "Is it possible that Cui Xiuyuan is lying?"
Yang Xie shook his head and said, "I had Ai Ling verify it last night, and he wasn't lying."
"So, vice captain, what should we do next?" Xu Fei asked.
Yang Xie thought for a moment, and was just about to give the order to go in and inspect when...
An explosion was heard from the warehouse.
With a loud "bang," though not particularly loud, black smoke could be clearly seen rising from behind the warehouse.
Yang Xie said in a low voice, "You came at a pretty good time. We found it right away."
They circled around through the nearby woods to the back of the warehouse and discovered that the explosion was caused by an iron cage containing a bloody, inhuman, and beast-like monster.
It lay prone on the ground, its head covered by black fur, its limbs covered in strange scales, and its fingers webbed with a thin layer of webbing, like a hybrid of human and animal.
The attendant frowned and asked, "Should the vice-captain take care of it?"
If conditions allowed, Yang Xie would actually prefer to bring this thing back to the lab for research, but it's simply not possible right now.
"Do you have any syringes with you?"
"No."
Seeing Sui Cheng and Xu Fei shake their heads, Yang Xie rubbed his temples and said, "Then take this thing to the camp and have them extract some blood and genes to send back to the lab for investigation."
The things the new generation researches are all very strange. It would be better if we could get some of their stuff for the lab to study.
"good."
Unsure of the attack power of what was inside, they didn't open the cage, but instead took the entire cage, along with its contents, with them.
But the passengers still felt something was strange. The people had already left and taken their things with them, so why leave this strange creature here? The explosion just now seemed to be telling them that there was something here.
While carrying the cage, he condensed several inconspicuous small lightning balls and placed them on the alien creature's body, so that he could quickly stop it if it made any unusual movements.
...
Lu Zhi was dozing in the car when he vaguely sensed that his companion was approaching, so he opened his eyes.
A pleasant smile always lingered on his lips, and even Chen Jiang and the others could sense his happiness.
They also found it a bit strange. Not long after the captain left, Lu Zhi suddenly became cheerful, and he couldn't stop smiling, which was quite inexplicable.
Little did they know, Lü Zhi was happy because he heard what the attendant said.
The woman in the carriage acknowledged her boyfriend's identity in front of the leader.
Although he was somewhat disappointed that he didn't hear the accompanying passenger say it in person, he was still very satisfied.
Upon seeing his companion return, he rushed towards him excitedly, like a dog wagging its tail. Before he could even hug him, his nose twitched, and he caught a strange smell.
"An alien species?" he asked his companion in a low voice.
Sui Cheng touched the vines on his wrist and asked, "Didn't you hear me?"
Lu Zhi looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't listen to much of the later part, only the first part."
He looked at the passenger with excitement in his eyes, as if expecting his answer.
A blush crept onto Sui Cheng's ears, and he awkwardly looked away, saying, "If you know, then don't ask."
Lu Zhi pouted, looking aggrieved, and reached out to hug him, whispering in his ear, "I'll make you say it yourself."
What did you bring back?
Just as Sui Cheng was about to speak, Lu Zhi released him and changed the subject.
"A strange alien species."
