Chapter 77 Purpose
Following the lawyer, they arrived at the apartment building and accurately located the apartment where the person and cat were.
The tightly closed door was kicked open by the lawyer.
"Cough cough cough!"
After hearing him cough a few times, the servant said helplessly, "There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Those inside the house also heard the noise outside, but because they were bound by vines, they could only watch helplessly as Sui Cheng and Lu Zhi entered.
They were all unfamiliar faces, but Cui Xiuyuan felt that the tallest man's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
"Is it them?" The attendant glanced at Cui Xiuyuan, then looked at the oversized black cat next to him, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
Cui Xiuyuan asked warily, "Who are you? Are you people with superpowers?"
"Why did you make him so angry?" Sui Cheng didn't answer his question, but walked directly up to them, bent down and reached out to touch the vines on their bodies.
Cui Xiuyuan was completely bewildered, not understanding what he meant, but the next second he saw the vines binding them, affectionately rubbed against Suicheng's wrist, and said incredulously, "Are you the owner of this alien species?"
“No.” Sui Cheng glanced back at Lu Zhi, raised his chin, and gestured for him to retract the vines.
The lawyer pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "You're not going to help me get revenge, do you not love me anymore?"
The passenger watched him perform with a blank expression.
"Alright, alright." Lü Zhi shrugged helplessly, beckoned with his finger, and the vines binding Cui Xiuyuan loosened automatically, but the one binding the black cat was still not loosened.
Cui Xiuyuan looked at Lu Zhi in shock, and realized in his heart that he was the master of the vines. No wonder his voice sounded so familiar when he spoke.
"I am Sui Cheng, the captain of the Sunrise Squad of the Huaxia Base," Sui Cheng introduced himself in a lukewarm tone.
Cui Xiuyuan was so intimidated by his aura that he took two steps back, his face turning pale.
He had heard this name before, from the other ability users who had come to Tianchi Town in the past. It was the name of Sui Cheng, the captain of the Sunrise Squad, an ability user with both ice and lightning powers, and one of the strongest in the base.
Thinking of this, Cui Xiuyuan's gaze towards his attendant turned sharper.
"Captain Sui, I've heard of you. You're a very powerful superhuman."
The attendant noticed all the changes in Cui Xiuyuan's expression and nodded in a lukewarm manner.
The lawyer standing next to him became somewhat displeased. Cui Xiuyuan's gaze made him feel that his man was being targeted, which made him very unhappy.
"What are you looking at!" Lu Zhi strode forward, blocking Cui Xiuyuan's view, and looked at him with great hostility.
Sui Cheng felt somewhat helpless; this person really didn't know how to hide his possessiveness at all.
"I heard you wanted to see me, and now that you have, say what you want to say." Sui Cheng didn't want to waste any more time. They had indeed been out for quite a while, and if they didn't go back soon, Yang Xie might become suspicious, so he directly asked Cui Xiuyuan about his purpose.
“I want to enter the base.” Cui Xiuyuan stated his purpose, then glanced cautiously at the black cat beside him, his hand trembling slightly as he stroked its head, and added, “I want to bring Xiao Hei with me.”
The attendant revealed the harsh truth: "If it goes to the base, it will only be sent to a laboratory. If it doesn't actively harm humans, the people in the laboratory won't take its life, but it will lose its freedom. Is that what you want to see?"
Cui Xiuyuan was stunned, then pointed at Lu Zhi and asked, "What about him? How did he stay at the base? Isn't he a mutant?"
The attendant scoffed, "What makes him seem like a monster to you?"
She neither admitted nor refuted it, but simply asked him if it looked similar.
Cui Xiuyuan was stunned, staring intently at Lu Zhi, deeply shocked.
Yes, the one who claimed to be a different species was that vine, not the man in front of me.
Moreover, this person looks like a human, with no relation to the alien species, so how can he control the alien species at will?
"Yeah, do you think I look like a mutant?" Lu Zhi grinned and put his arm around Sui Cheng's shoulder, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Even if I told you I'm a mutant, would anyone believe me?"
Cui Xiuyuan was completely stunned. Let alone whether others believed it or not, even he himself couldn't believe that this man was a mutant.
The attendant continued, "You can enter the base, but you only have two options: either come with us alone, or hand the black cat over to the laboratory. I will guarantee its safety, and you can see it every few days."
Cui Xiuyuan hesitated. It had taken him a long time to tame the black cat, and now someone was asking him to hand it over. How could he possibly be willing to do so?
“Controlling alien species.” Cui Xiuyuan suddenly said this, looking at his companion with a deep gaze, and repeated, “Three days ago, a team passed through Tianchi Town with the alien species they controlled. I know where they went, and I guess you also want to know where they went.”
After a moment of silence, the passenger said, "Is this your source of confidence?"
"Yes." Cui Xiuyuan nodded without hesitation.
"Alright." The attendant said in a deep voice, "You and your black cat come with me."
He decided to take Cui Xiuyuan and the black cat directly to see Yang Xie.
Lu Zhi reluctantly untied the vines from the black cat, and also threatened them, saying that if they dared to lay a hand on him again, he would tie them up again and pack them up and take them back.
After leaving the apartment, Lu Zhi glanced at the person and cat walking ahead and asked Sui Cheng in a resentful tone, "You could have just ignored him. I could have helped you find someone."
Sui Cheng said calmly, "It's different. Don't you think there are many suspicious things about this Cui Xiuyuan?"
"Just a human trying to tame a different species." Lu Zhi sneered disdainfully.
"Can't alien species be domesticated?" the rider asked him.
Lu Zhi snorted and said, "They're not that easy to tame."
"Is that so?" Sui Cheng murmured, then beckoned to him with his finger. When he lowered his head, he gently touched his cheek with his lips. Under Lu Zhi's incredulous gaze, he asked again, "Is it really impossible to tame them?"
Lu Zhi covered the spot where his attendant had kissed him, his heart pounding with joy. He probably even forgot who he was, and said with a silly grin, "Except for you."
This was the first time that someone had kissed him without being threatened by him; it was like the sun rising in the west.
Lu Zhi belatedly realized that from the moment Sui Cheng beckoned to him and he lowered his head, he had become no different from a tamed alien.
But he's happy to do it!
Chen Jiang and the others saw the crew returning from afar, but when they saw that there was an extra person and a cat with them, their faces showed disbelief. They quickly stepped forward and asked, "Captain, what's going on?"
The passenger casually said, "We ran into them by chance. I'll take them to see the deputy captain. You can return to your unit immediately after you've finished searching."
Chen Jiang and the others exchanged a glance and quickly followed, saying as they walked, "The search is over, let's go back together."
Their gazes always seemed to linger on the black cat.
Everyone could see that this was a mutant, and they were all surprised at why this mutant was so "docile".
