Chapter 96 Eavesdropping
"Why did it take you so long to get back?" Lu Zhi had been dozing off for a while and only woke up when he heard the door open.
Sui Cheng hesitated for a moment before telling Xuan Lin about the story of humans devouring alien species.
Lu Zhi paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" the attendant asked him.
Lu Zhi said in a deep voice, "I have seen humans devour alien species, but no one has ever succeeded."
In the vast city of Xinghai, with its numerous visitors, his roots spread throughout the entire city, and everyone's every move was under his surveillance.
He had seen people who, on their deathbeds, were unwilling to devour the alien species, but due to their weak will and lack of mental strength, they were all devoured by the alien species.
Seeing them struggle for their lives for a long time, Lu Zhi simply took care of them.
"Hearing you say all this, I'm becoming more and more interested in those people." Lu Zhi smiled somewhat maliciously and said, "I need to find an opportunity to meet Xuan Linwen."
The servant got excited when he heard him say that, and sat on the edge of the bed, turning to look at him and saying, "That's perfect, let's get more information out of him."
The lawyer asked curiously, "Didn't you get the answer?"
The attendant frowned and said unhappily, "He's afraid of being killed to cover it up, so he insists on hiding things and won't say anything, which has wasted a lot of my time."
“That guy is really wicked. He made our Captain Sui unhappy. I’ll get revenge for you.” Lu Zhi hooked his chin and laughed, “I can find out anything you want to know.”
Suicheng felt that he wasn't going there to question him, but to fight, but he didn't intend to stop the lawyer and thought it would be better to let him go.
Lu Zhi looked into his eyes, as if he understood something, and his smile deepened. He touched Sui Cheng's lips and said, "Baby has become naughty."
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Sui Cheng tilted his head and said, "Aren't you the worst person?"
“Yes, I’m the one who led you astray.” Lu Zhi cupped his face, forcefully pried open his lips, and kissed him tightly until he was dizzy, before loosening his grip slightly and smiling as he said, “This can be considered husband and wife in harmony.”
"The Party members will return to the base tomorrow." The attendant wiped the water from the corner of his lips, calmed his racing heart, and said calmly, "We will be going back a little later."
"Why?" Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi became unhappy.
“Haicheng is a chaotic place with a large and diverse population, and they are worried that something might happen.”
"What does that have to do with us?" Lu Zhi muttered to himself. He just wanted to go back and have a sweet romance with Sui Cheng, and even better, do some things they loved.
The passenger, unaware that his mind was filled with lewd thoughts, nudged his chest and said, "Isn't it all the same wherever you are?"
Lu Zhi pouted, his handsome face contorted with grievance, as he went to lecture Xuan Linwen, hoping to vent his anger at the same time.
This time, the vines sent out were not ordinary ones, but rather the clones of the Law Enforcer.
When he arrived at the interrogation room, he found that Dang Hongyuan was still there. Feeling a bit strange, he crouched down in the corner and eavesdropped.
Xuan Linwen: "So what if that's the case?"
Dang Hongyuan: "Where are the rest of the new generation?"
Xuan Linwen said, "They are often nowhere to be seen, how would I know?"
Dang Hongyuan: "You must have a way to contact them, right?"
Xuan Linwen: "Yes, but so what? Captain Dang, if you want to know these things, you have to offer something in exchange, right?"
Dang Hongyuan: "Do you know where you'll be sent after you enter the base?"
Xuan Linwen frowned slightly. He knew, of course, where he would be sent if he was taken to the Huaxia base. There was no other choice but to go to the laboratory.
Dang Hongyuan could tell from his expression that he had guessed it, so he said coldly, "Perhaps you don't know much about our laboratory. Its main person in charge is Zhang Jun. I think you should have heard of him."
Xuan Linwen's expression changed drastically. This was more than just something he had heard of; it was something he had heard of before.
He was also a student of biological experiments, and he had heard this name countless times before the apocalypse even arrived.
Zhang Jun rose to fame at a young age, becoming a celebrity in the biological field by the age of thirty-eight.
Every idea he proposed shocked the world, and every idea was successfully demonstrated through his experiments.
Not many people knew that Zhang Jun was in the laboratory at the Huaxia base; it can only be said that the base authorities had kept it extremely well hidden.
Xuan Lin thought to himself, no wonder the infection control at the base was so good. He had thought it was just luck before, but now he realized that Zhang Jun was behind it all.
Dang Hongyuan carefully observed his every move and felt that the time was right, so he said directly: "After the apocalypse, Professor Zhang's experimental methods have changed a lot, especially in the matter of alien species. He is ruthless. I think he will be very interested in you."
This is already a blatant threat.
Xuan Lin gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Dang Hongyuan, and said, "What else do you want to know besides those people's names?"
Dang Hongyuan was very curious as to why, even in such a critical situation, he was unwilling to reveal the names of those people.
Do you know what a mental imprint is?
Xuan Linwen only said this one sentence, and Dang Hongyuan understood his meaning.
It seems that he doesn't say it because of the mental imprint that's been placed in his mind. If he were to utter those names, he would be killed by a mental attack.
Lu Zhi, who overheard this, chuckled inwardly.
Xuan Linwen was lying. The mental imprint that he had placed in Xuan Linwen's mind did not show anything else, and even if it did, it had been washed away by his mental power.
Dang Hongyuan didn't bother to verify the truth of Xuan Linwen's words, probably because no one currently possessed stronger mental power than him, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to find out.
Lu Zhi also realized this point and suddenly realized that he had never heard Sui Cheng mention whether there were any people with strong mental abilities inside the Huaxia base.
But the next second, he thought of Dang Hongyuan and Dang Xiangyang, the son of Yang Xie, a child with very strange mental abilities.
"How many spies have you planted inside the Huaxia base?" Dang Hongyuan's voice came again.
Xuan Linwen paused for a moment before uttering three names: "Hong Zhen, Chen Guoxue, and Fang Lingling."
Dang Hongyuan didn't seem very surprised by the three names; in fact, his brows relaxed a bit.
Xuan Lin said, "It seems that the three of them were already on the party's list of suspects."
Dang Hongyuan nodded and said, "Hong Zhen is the one who issues orders to the various superpowered teams. All the information goes through him, so he is indeed suspicious. Chen Guoxue is an employee of the Procuratorate, so he has more access to Hong Zhen's information. But Fang Lingling... why did you choose her?"
Xuan Linwen waved his hand and said, "I didn't choose the person, how would I know? Maybe there are advantages to being a nobody?"
Dang Hongyuan tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "When our people arrived at the lab, your main force had already withdrawn. Why were you still there?"
His gaze was like a sharp knife, carrying an irresistible and oppressive aura.
However, Xuan Linwen's mental strength was very strong, and he quickly suppressed his aura, smiling as he said, "Of course I'm waiting for someone."
"Waiting for whom? The law enforcement?"
Dang Hongyuan's simple words made Xuan Linwen and the eavesdropping lawyer feel a little uncomfortable.
