Chapter 152 Gene Experiments
In fact, Lu Zhi didn't really leave. He secretly left a vine behind and only left quietly after overhearing Cecil's plan.
After meeting up with his companions, he told them everything he had overheard.
"Why not trap them like turtles in a jar?" Yang Xie said. "Since they want to break us up, let's just go along with their plan."
Sui Cheng frowned and said, "But Cecil wants to use space to scatter us."
This is hardly an advantage for them.
“Take care of him first, and his spatial ability will become ineffective.” Lu Zhi looked up at the sky and said, “We can’t act at night yet. Duan Zi’an’s darkness control will weaken our abilities in the dark and we will also be controlled by him.”
“But they’ll definitely act at night; they’re not stupid,” Lawyer said lazily.
“They don’t know our exact location yet, do they?” Sui Cheng pondered. “But since Lu Zhi has been exposed, they’ll think we’re lurking near their base. Someone should show up soon. We need to leave here now.”
“I have an idea,” Xuan Linwen snapped his fingers and said with a smirk, “As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.”
"So?" Sui Ling looked at him curiously, waiting for a specific answer.
Xuan Linwen pointed in the direction of the lighthouse and said, "Isn't the safest place inside?"
"You mean those houses in the small fishing village where experimental subjects are kept?" Ming Tongguang was taken aback; this seemed to make some sense.
There were only three patrol teams in that small fishing village. The houses there were densely packed, and the experimental subjects could cover their presence. As long as they didn't directly confront the new generation, the chances of being discovered were very small.
Xuan Linwen nodded and said, "Moreover, we have three different species here, and the aura they emit is enough to conceal your presence."
Cui Xiuyuan had been quiet all along, but after hearing this, he silently raised his eyes and said, "This method is not very feasible."
Xuan Linwen frowned, looking at this teammate with whom he had basically no communication.
Actually, Cui Xiuyuan wasn't a good fit for the team, but Black Cat couldn't leave him. So, in order for Black Cat to be useful to the base, Cui Xiuyuan was brought along as well.
Xuan Linwen always felt that this person looked refined and gentle, but was actually very cunning.
Cui Xiuyuan didn't notice his gaze and instead voiced his thoughts: "Why not use a diversionary tactic? First, have someone lure Cecil and the others away, then have a group of people enter the base, find something important, and then blow up the entire base after they come out. Those newcomers will be furious, won't they?"
Xuan Linwen said, "If we want to blow up the entire base, we don't need to wait for the right opportunity; we can just do it directly."
After all, he came from Zhang Jun's laboratory, and he knew all too well how many weapons had been invented there.
The most powerful weapon could indeed destroy the base, but the end result would definitely be that no one would survive, let alone the experimental data that Zhang Jun wanted.
Sui Cheng rubbed his temples and said, "We can't blow it up; there are many important things inside."
“It’s possible to lure the tiger away from the mountain,” Yang Xie suddenly said. “Whether you’re willing to ride along or not is up to you.”
"What?" Sui Cheng was a little confused. What did Yang Xie want him to do?
A glint of light flashed in Yang Xie's eyes as he said, "Didn't they want to capture you to blackmail Lu Zhi? Why don't we just let them succeed for now?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhi was furious when he heard that Yang Xie planned to send Sui Cheng on an adventure. He stared at Yang Xie with a cold expression, and the vines in his hand were already poised to strike.
“They’ve captured the passenger, but they won’t harm him. They’ll take him to the base and keep him under close watch. They’re also confident that you’ll go back to rescue him.”
"What kind of ridiculous idea is this!" Lu Zhi was really angry, and said angrily, "It's just a base, I can handle it by myself, there's no need to send my attendants!"
"Lu Zhi, calm down." Sui Cheng grabbed his hand to prevent Lu Zhi from suddenly attacking. He looked at Yang Xie: "Yang Xie means I should infiltrate the base as a prisoner, but what am I supposed to do once I'm inside?"
“No need to do anything,” Yang Xie said. “Once you enter the base, Lu Zhi can take action.”
The lawyer said coldly, "Why would I use my hands?"
If he wanted to save someone, he wouldn't need to wait for his entourage to enter the base; he could simply take action immediately.
"With your strength, breaking free from the control of those alien species shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Of course it's not a problem, but the law enforcement officer doesn't understand why Yang Xie did this.
“Creating chaos will provide a good opportunity for the passengers. According to what the law enforcement officer just said, Bai Xuefeng and his ex-boyfriend Xie Xinghe are both in the base. The passengers can go directly to them.”
Sui Cheng slightly raised his eyes and suddenly understood Yang Xie's meaning: "Yang Xie wants me to save people?"
Lu Zhi retorted, "Bai Xuefeng doesn't look like he needs saving, so why should we save him!"
“Xie Xinghe is one of the most important researchers in the new generation,” Yang Xie said.
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes, his tone full of suspicion, and asked, "How did you know?"
Ming Tongguang interjected, "Before setting off, the Party had already investigated Xie Xinghe. The last time he appeared at Base One was five months after the apocalypse. At that time, Cecil and Wei Lesheng had just reached a cooperation agreement, and another person left with Cecil. He was Xie Xinghe's teacher, and it was he who recommended Xie Xinghe to Cecil. Then Xie Xinghe completely disappeared from Base One."
Yang Xie nodded and continued, "It was from there that the experiments of the new generation made a completely new breakthrough."
"So Xie Xinghe was the key to their successful experiment?"
"Um."
Lu Zhi stroked his chin and said, "No wonder Xie Xinghe dared to keep Bai Xuefeng in front of Cecil and Duan Zian. Was he certain that the New Generation Laboratory couldn't do without him?"
“That’s not all.” Xuan Linwen’s solemn voice rang out. “I have a rough idea of Xie Xinghe’s identity. In the new generation, he doesn’t use his real name, but rather his name from when he was studying abroad, Leslie. He is the most special experimenter in the laboratory.”
"Experimenter?"
“Yes, that’s right. The first experiment Leslie did in the New Generation’s lab was on himself,” Xuan Linwen said. “He was infected a long time ago, so after coming to the New Generation, he kept experimenting on himself in order to control the infection and then completely eliminate it. But after a long period of experimentation, the infection was not eliminated, but instead fused with his own genes.”
Sui Cheng said in a deep voice, "So that's why there were experiments on the fusion of human and alien genes?"
“Yes.” Xuan Linwen nodded. “The experiment on Leslie was a secret within the New Generation. If I hadn’t been a test subject myself, I wouldn’t have been able to overhear it.”
"So this is the real reason why Xie Xinghe left Bai Xuefeng!" Lu Zhi's focus was not the same as what they were talking about.
