Chapter 29 The Plan
Having overheard their conversation, Sui Cheng raised an eyebrow. He was the one who killed the man, so there would be some traces of his supernatural abilities on the corpse, but this man claimed there weren't any.
He glanced at Lu Zhi subconsciously.
The law enforcement officer understood what he meant, nodded at him, and directly admitted that he had done it.
"It seems that the matter in Yancheng has probably been exposed. We should contact our superiors immediately, pack our things, and prepare to retreat."
"What about these mutant species?"
"Aren't there many superhumans in Yancheng right now? Release them all."
"But there are at least a hundred different species here. If we release them all, wouldn't that be..."
“Yan Xiaolin, we shouldn’t be so soft-hearted. They’re just some alien species. At most, those superhumans can only kill a few people.”
Hearing their conversation, Sui Cheng's face showed disbelief. These people were actually going to release so many alien species. If they were caught off guard, it would surely cause a disaster.
His first thought was to spread the word immediately.
"When will we release it?" asked the man named Yan Xiaolin.
"Of course, it's at night, that's when it's more exciting."
The attendant gestured to the law enforcement officer, and as the three figures gradually disappeared, they continued forward.
The situation inside was similar to what they had described. The modified air-raid shelters were almost entirely filled with various kinds of alien species, but the strongest of them were below the advanced level. Presumably, the advanced species had been moved or killed.
Unfortunately, we didn't hear these people mention the name of their organization.
However, judging from the lavish interior, they must be quite wealthy.
Because of the inconvenience of the passage, they came down directly from the other exit.
Both of them were covered in dust. Lu Zhi casually reached out and wiped the dust off Sui Cheng's face, asking, "What do you plan to do?"
The passenger was still thinking.
If we announce it to everyone now, it will definitely attract attention and cause panic. But if we don't say anything, we can only take a passive approach at night.
"I've got an idea." Sui Cheng took out the crystal core. "We'll use it as bait."
Since everyone knows that someone is selecting buyers in Yancheng, he's going to make a big fuss about this selection process.
Around noon, a message came from the news agency that the buyer who sold the crystal cores was waiting for everyone in the air-raid shelter in the west of the city, and the first to arrive would have priority in negotiating the price.
Sui Cheng and Lu Zhi also went to meet up with Chen Jiang and the others, and then drove back to the air-raid shelter.
He didn't tell Chen Jiang and the others what he had just overheard, fearing that he would be exposed, so the fewer people who knew, the better.
There were already quite a few vehicles on the road, all heading to the west of the city. They were stopped on the road by someone named Chang Zijin.
"Captain Sui, can I come with you?" The boy walked to the car window, knocked, and asked directly after the driver opened the window.
“There will be danger,” the passenger said.
Chang Zijin nodded and said, "I know, but I still want to go. I won't hold you back."
Lu Zhi scoffed coldly in the car and then let Chang Zijin get in.
"Are you really going to bring him along?" Lu Zhi's tone sounded sour.
"Okay, move over a bit." The attendant opened the car door, moved closer to the lawyer, and sat in the middle, with Chang Zijin to his right.
"Thank you, Captain Sui." Chang Zijin said with a delighted expression.
"Captain, who is this guy?" Chen Jiang asked curiously from the front, his eyes gleaming with gossip.
Only Lu Zhi knew about his deal with Chang Zijin. Chen Jiang and the others hadn't had a chance to tell him yet. Just as they were about to explain, Chang Zijin spoke first, saying, "I admire Captain Sui very much and hope to join you one day."
"Good ambition." Zhang Meng turned around and gave him a thumbs up. "To join us, you need to pass the assessment in the Procuratorate. You'd better work hard."
"And what about him?" Chang Zijin asked, looking at the law enforcement officer.
This left Chen Jiang and his team bewildered. To put it bluntly, although the lawyers were acting alongside them, they weren't yet considered regular members of their team.
Lin Zhi explained, "Brother Lv is not a formal team member yet; he's just a temporary one."
"Oh." Chang Zijin raised an eyebrow at the lawyer, somewhat provocatively saying, "Then I must become a full-fledged employee before him."
Lin Zhi and Tan Qingjia exchanged a glance. A woman's intuition told them that there was something wrong with these two. Their auras were clashing. Could it be that they had some kind of conflict?
It has to be said that women have a very strong intuition in this regard.
The lawyer adopted a very magnanimous demeanor, casually draping his arm over the shoulder of the passenger, and said with a half-smile, "It's alright, if I can't be a formal team member, I can still be a family member."
In just one sentence, Chang Zijin suffered a crushing defeat.
Now it was Chen Jiang and his group's turn to be dumbfounded. It had only been a few days, how could they be considered family members? What had they missed?
More importantly, the captain didn't refute it, and although he didn't admit it either, it was tantamount to admitting it.
Chen Jiang and his companions cautiously observed the expression on the attendant's face, but the attendant seemed to be lost in thought.
With a pleased smile, Lu Zhi continued to push his luck, saying, "Anyway, I'll be your captain's man sooner or later; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call me family."
"Don't talk nonsense." Sui Cheng finally spoke, patting Lu Zhi's hand with an air of aloofness: "I never admitted it."
Lu Zhi's expression instantly turned aggrieved, and she whined, "This is the behavior of a scumbag, turning his back on me like that."
The passenger said, "...Stop fooling around."
Linzhi's eyes lit up, as if she had stumbled upon something amazing.
Although Ritsuji's personality isn't great, he looks so good with the captain, except he's too tall. If he were the dominant one...
She silently shook her head, not daring to imagine what it would be like for the captain to be the bottom, but she didn't like short tops or weak tops either!
Unaware that Lin Zhi's mind was filled with many strange thoughts, Sui Cheng had just used his supernatural abilities to scout the road and found that all the cars ahead had stopped, as if something had happened.
"Madrid, stop for a moment." Just after crossing the bridge, the passenger called for the car to stop. As soon as they stopped, an explosion rang out in front of them. A car in front of them was blown into the air with a "bang," and the people inside were killed before they could even react.
"Let's take another route."
With so many superhumans heading west of the city, the people at the air-raid shelter couldn't possibly be unaware of this. So all they could do was release the superhumans ahead of time, but it still happened much earlier than Sui Cheng had anticipated.
He suspected that some of these superhumans were among their own, and that they had tipped them off after receiving the false information initially spread by the charioteer.
"Captain, there are mutants ahead." Madrid suddenly slammed on the brakes. Blocking their way were several Thunder Leopards, baring their fangs and with purple lightning crackling around their tails, which slammed down directly at the car.
Madrid activated his superpower, accelerating past them. Sui Cheng and Chen Jiang had already opened the car doors and jumped out as Madrid swerved.
Sui Cheng imbued his superpower into his hand, caught the lightning ball that the Thunder Leopard had thrown at him with his bare hands, and then crushed it.
Chen Jiang quickly said, "Captain, something's not right. Aren't only high-level species allowed to use superpowers? These creatures don't seem to be high-level species!"
He glanced at the carriage and guessed that it was probably related to that experiment.
"We will do everything we can to resolve this."
