Chapter 173 Undercover
“Yes.” Sui Cheng nodded, then went to examine the other corpses, while Lu Zhi decisively used his mental power to extract the memories from the leader.
They tortured someone to death.
A hint of surprise flashed in Feng Bai's eyes, but then he thought that anyone who could be noticed by the charioteer must not be an ordinary person.
Lu Zhi wiped his hands with disdain and said, "This group of people and Yu Shuang have the same goal. There's nothing special about them."
He then reached out and asked his attendant for his backpack. When he opened it, he found an egg inside.
"I have to return this to them. Honey, you go back and wait for my good news." Lu Zhi kissed his cheek, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked towards the group of spiders.
Feng Bai watched his retreating figure, puzzled, and asked, "What is he going to do?"
"He still has things to take care of, we don't need to wait for him, let's go back first." Sui Cheng put the corpses together, and a powerful bolt of lightning struck down, turning them into charred remains.
“Aren’t you worried about him?” Feng Bai asked.
“He doesn’t need me to worry about him.” Sui Cheng’s eyes softened, and even his tone was different from usual. “He is very strong.”
Feng Bai felt that Sui Cheng was already strong enough. If Lu Zhi was stronger than him, that would be ridiculous!
...
"Captain, you're finally back!" Lin Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Feng Bai return unharmed, and then quickly asked, "What's the situation outside?"
Feng Bai replied, "It's been resolved. We'll rest here for the night and leave early tomorrow morning."
Sui Cheng then realized he didn't know why Feng Bai and his group were here, so he asked directly, "Brother Bai, what mission do you have here?"
Feng Bai said, "Yes, we received a mission saying there were people from the Federation base here. We came to investigate, but we didn't expect to actually encounter them. Moreover, those people just now were not the same group that chased me before."
The servant frowned; it seemed there was another force hiding in the city.
He touched the vines on his wrist and sent a message to Lu Zhi, telling him to be more careful.
The vine moved slightly and wrote a few words on his hand.
"Found it."
Lu Zhi hadn't expected such a coincidence. He had just delivered the eggs to the group of spiders when he turned around and ran into another group of superhumans.
He and the five men looked at each other and fell silent.
Those people didn't expect to run into other people. They thought it was the same person as before, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a completely unfamiliar face.
More importantly, there was the group of aliens behind them.
"Who are you?" they immediately became wary.
The law enforcement officer stood there, yet he wasn't attacked by the alien species, which seemed very strange.
"Tsk, so annoying." Lu Zhi sized them up, noticing their familiar equipment, and sneered, "Plunderers?"
"Attack!" The group didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately attacked Lu Zhi.
The lawyer cracked his knuckles and sneered, "You all came to me willingly."
Vines flew everywhere, blood splattered, and there were mangled limbs.
Without his companion by his side, the executioner was like a completely different creature, acting decisively and cruelly. After he was done, there wasn't even a single intact corpse on the ground, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
“Here you go.” Lu Zhi disgustedly flicked the blood off the branches and leaves, then gave the corpses to the aliens behind him. As they ate, he said, “I need you to go somewhere and find some people for me.”
The place that Lü Zhi mentioned is Fengcheng, where Xie Cheng and his group are located.
Giant Spider: "Okay, anything else?"
"And then there are those people you just ate. They all had the same equipment, so they're easy to spot. I'd like to see how many more looters are around here."
After the giant spiders finished their dinner, they went to find the person according to the directions given by the Law Enforcer.
When he returned to the abandoned building, Sui Cheng was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs, holding Wenwen in his arms.
"Waiting for me?" Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow, clearly asking a question he already knew the answer to.
"How is it?" Sui Cheng tucked Wenwen into his arms and asked about the situation of the superhumans.
"Kill them all." Lu Zhi held Wenwen in one arm and Suicheng in the other, looking every bit like a winner in life with his wife, children, and a warm bed.
"Then we'll set off for Fengcheng first thing tomorrow morning," the passenger said.
"Ah Cheng, are you also going to Fengcheng?" Feng Bai vaguely heard Sui Cheng's words and quickly turned around to ask him.
The passenger was also somewhat surprised. He thought that Feng Bai and his group had reached their destination here, but he didn't expect that they were also going to Fengcheng.
Now he was a little curious about who had sent Feng Bai and the others on this mission.
He asked, "Brother Bai, who sent you on this mission?"
"yes……"
"It's Brother Guan." Fang Tongshu came over and overheard their conversation. She couldn't help but interject, "It's Guan Qi."
After the construction of District 7, Guan Qi made amends by managing Districts 6 and 7, while Bai Xuefeng managed Districts 5 and 4, and Dang Hongyuan was in charge of Districts 1, 2 and 3.
Sui Cheng's first thought was that Guan Qi had specifically sent Feng Bai and the others to find Xie Cheng.
He carefully observed Feng Bai's expression and could tell that Feng Bai had not told him all the information.
Since they share the same goal, it's inevitable that they'll work together.
They took turns keeping watch at night. When it was the attendant's turn, Feng Bai came out of his own tent, glanced at the tent where Lu Zhi was, and made sure he hadn't woken up before sitting down next to the attendant.
"It's been so long since we last met, we haven't had a proper chance to catch up yet," Feng Bai said with a smile. "I've heard your name often, and at first I thought it was just someone with the same name, but it turns out it really is you."
The passenger asked him, "Then why didn't you come to find me?"
After the apocalypse, Suicheng met many comrades-in-arms, and through his introduction, they all joined the special forces.
Feng Bai smiled bitterly: "It was too late at the time. I met Guan Qi back then. Base One hadn't been established yet, and he was ambitious. All my friends followed him. I thought about leaving, but I thought that if I moved to another place, I would have to start all over again, which seemed like too much trouble, so I gave up."
Sui Cheng lowered his eyes and casually asked, "Do you know Xie Cheng?"
Feng Bai paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know him."
Xie Fei just stared at him.
Feng Bai couldn't stand his gaze any longer, so he lowered his head, sighed, and said, "As expected, we were discovered. We really did come for Xie Cheng."
The attendant asked, "Does it mean Guan Qi?"
Feng Bai nodded: "Yes, he told us to bring Xie Cheng back before the base found him, but we didn't expect you to find us so quickly."
The passenger said, "It was an accident that we found him; the base didn't know anything about him."
Hearing his explanation, Feng Bai breathed a sigh of relief, but only for a few seconds before he heard the attendant say, "But I do intend to take him back. We need to know what happened to him over there in the plundering."
"Xie Cheng didn't really defect to the Federation; he went there voluntarily..."
"I've figured out the undercover agent."
Sui Cheng wasn't stupid. When he heard Yu Shuang mention this person and his and Wei Lesheng's concealment of the plundering, he had this suspicion.
