Chapter 57
When they heard Elena's words, their first reaction was disbelief. However, the fact that it was Elena who spoke made their disbelief even more hesitant.
They couldn't help but wonder if Elena was trying to incite them to rebel.
"Why do you say that?" Lou Tiannan looked at Elena with a deep and scrutinizing gaze.
Elena met Lou Tiannan's gaze calmly, speaking gently as if they were chatting: "First, Qiu Tu escaped from under the noses of the Security Bureau yesterday. This is not the first day for either of us to be in the Security Bureau. If you were leading the team to arrest someone yesterday, under the circumstances at that time, would you have let Qiu Tu escape?"
"Secondly, when I left Border Prison, I heard the guards chattering about the people without Blood and Bones being held there. I heard them say they were handing the Blood and Bones over to Aurora for indoctrination. Who are those people in Blood and Bones? Does Aurora have the ability to indoctrinate them? Or has the Security Bureau reached some kind of agreement with Aurora to trust them? Someone like Jed is already at the top of the Security Bureau."
After hearing Jed, everyone fell silent. And on their way out of the Border Prison, they did not see anyone with Blood and Bones, not even a single one.
Lou Tiannan said: "I will personally confirm the relationship between Xue Gu and the Security Bureau. Before that, I will not agree with what you say."
Elena wasn't surprised by Lou Tiannan's answer. She said slowly, "I'm just reminding you. After all... with my current identity, the development of the Security Bureau has nothing to do with me."
This topic was quite sensitive, so no one delved into it further.
Elena was found, and Lin Bai was resurrected. After a brief silence, everyone realized that they were exhausted. They hadn't had a good rest for two days.
Xiya had already fallen asleep holding Lin Bai.
The basement was quite large, so everyone found a place to rest and wait for the next daybreak to go to East District 1 to carry out their mission.
Among these people, there were a few who had no desire to sleep at all. They kept glancing at Lin Bai in the corner, and it seemed that they had something to say to Lin Bai.
Bai Chuan looked around and stood up first, saying to Lin Bai, "Ah Bai, please accompany me to the bathroom."
Before Lin Bai could say anything, Tang Mary sneered, "Humph, you're an Omega, what's your intention in asking Lin Bai, a Beta, to go to the bathroom with you? Is it to the bathroom or something else?"
Bai Chuan didn't get angry when he heard this. He gave Tang Mali an ambiguous smile and said with a hint of ambiguity, "Mr. Tang, we are all adults. We can see through it but don't say it out loud. Now that you've exposed it so obviously, if Ah Bai doesn't come with me later, I'm going to make trouble for you."
Lin Bai also had something to ask Bai Chuan. She put the sleeping Xiya on the wooden mat. Xiya woke up as soon as she let go of her hands and called out in a daze, "Mom?"
"You go to sleep, I'll go out for a while." She patted Xiya's head perfunctorily. Seeing that Xiya fell asleep, she stood up and went out with Baichuan.
Seeing Lin Bai and Bai Chuan go out, Lou Tiannan's eyes suddenly sank, and Tang Mali frowned.
Elena quietly watched Lin Bai's back as he left, her eyes full of deep thought.
The moment Lin Bai lost her breath, she carefully examined her body to make sure that her vital signs were gone. She even gave Lin Bai first aid for an hour.
For seven whole hours, Lin Bai showed no response from any living being.
After more than seven hours, he came back to life. What kind of side effect of supernatural power is this?
Now when I think back to her reaction at that time, there are doubts everywhere. There was no change in her supernatural energy at that time. She suddenly lost her vital signs while I was talking to her, and she didn't even finish a sentence.
Could it be that she has some other secret? Then I thought about her saying that her partner was from the 621 Biomedical Research Institute...
621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute...
Elena silently repeated the name in her mind. Her intuition told her that Lin Bai's abnormality was closely related to the 621 Biomedical Research Institute. She recalled the scientific research experiments that would be carried out in 621, including plant medicine research, animal medicine research, mineral medicine research, a series of human organ bionic research and further bionic human experiments...
Before Elena could figure out what was going on, there was a sudden movement beside her. It was Tang Mary who stood up and walked out with a mace in her hand.
"Where are you going?" Lou Tiannan asked her.
"What if something happens to them after they've been out for so long?!" Tang Mary had never been seen caring about the lives of Baichuan and Lin Bai, so her concern at this moment was completely unreasonable.
Lou Tiannan and Elena both knew Tang Mali's intentions, but they just didn't understand when Tang Mali became so concerned about other things?
Tang Mary didn't care about that. She stroked her red hair and walked out of the basement. She was a straightforward person. If she didn't ask Lin Bai about the questions in her heart, not only would she not be able to sleep tonight, she would never be able to sleep in the future.
Baichuan and Lin Bai didn't go very far. There were zombies roaming nearby, and it was late at night, so no one wanted to make any noise.
Baichuan opened a wind shield around the two of them to ensure that no one could hear their conversation, and if anyone approached, he would be able to detect them immediately.
He checked Lin Bai up and down in the wind shield, his mouth muttering like a small steel cannon: "What's wrong with you today? Did you run out of power? Or was my boss recalled? Did my boss say anything to you? Did you mention me to her? Is she okay?"
"She was recalled. I don't know where she is." Lin Bai casually answered Baichuan's question, and then said to Baichuan: "The master wants you to prepare something, phototransistor, lithium alloy, silver quartz film, alexandrite crystal..." Since there is a helper who is eager to help, Lin Bai will not hesitate to order her around.
"Slow down, slow down..." Bai Chuan memorized everything Lin Bai had reported bit by bit. He also had a background in scientific research and could tell that these items seemed to be used to make oscillators, but there were still a few items whose uses were unknown. He said with difficulty, "The first few are no problem. I'll have my men find them. But I remember that Tang Mary has a monopoly on these alexandrite crystals. She's the only one who has them. But since the end of the world, she's treated these stones like treasures, saying they were for her daughter Vera. It won't be easy to take them from her..."
"What does your master want these for?" Baichuan asked. He wanted to know what his boss wanted these for, maybe he could find a replacement for him.
Lin Bai replied indifferently: "Don't meddle in the master's affairs."
"..." Baichuan choked, "Okay, okay, I'll find a way for you - someone is coming." Baichuan sensed the change in wind speed and stopped talking to Lin Bai. After removing the wind shield, he placed one hand on Lin Bai's ear and leaned towards Lin Bai's face with his head slightly lowered.
Tang Mali, who came over, saw this "indecent" scene at a glance. She rushed forward and grabbed Bai Chuan by the back of the collar and dragged him away. She turned her head and angrily said to Lin Bai, "Can you have better eyesight?"
Lin Bai blinked her eyes. She never expected that Tang Mary was actually talking to her.
Bai Chuan also looked puzzled. He felt insulted. "Mr. Tang, aren't you going too far? Who are you saying has poor taste?!"
"Shut up when you're done with the toilet. Go back. I want Lin Bai to accompany me to the toilet, too." Tang Mali poked Baichuan with the mace, pushing him away.
It was obvious that Tang Mali was looking for Lin Bai. Bai Chuan looked at Tang Mali and was a little worried about Lin Bai being alone with her. He asked suspiciously, "Mr. Tang, you're almost forty years old. You're not looking for young girls, are you?"
Tang Mali was obviously in a bad mood: "If you say another word, I'll make you sleep with a mace tonight, so get out of here."
Lin Bai gave Bai Chuan a look that told him to leave. Bai Chuan had no choice but to leave, looking back every few steps.
As soon as Bai Chuan left, Tang Mali grabbed Lin Bai's wrist and asked anxiously, "Where is Vera? What is your relationship with Vera?"
Lin Bai was surprised, but his face was full of confusion as he asked, "What is Ms. Tang talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I contacted Peter and he said you opened his diamond crystal box. Only Vera and I know the password of this box. You must know where Vera is!" Tang Mary said with certainty.
Lin Bai didn't expect that Tang Mary could contact Peter so quickly. She must have contacted him through the border prison, which was a bit troublesome.
Lin Bai was thinking about how to deal with Tang Mali. Seeing that Lin Bai hadn't replied yet, Tang Mali stepped forward, grabbed Lin Bai's neck with her hand, and said angrily, "What did you do to her?!"
Vera would not have told such a thing to a stranger for no reason. If Lin Bai did not know Vera, then Lin Bai must have used some means to learn the Down syndrome code from Vera, so Vera must have been in danger!
"Keep your voice down." Lin Bai signaled Tang Mary to be more careful with her voice. "She's fine..."
"You are lying to me!" Tang Mary said quickly. After she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed for some reason. In the dark night, she looked at Lin Bai with hesitation.
"No, I met her in Mall Survivor. We became... good friends. I helped her, and in return, she told me about the password. She also told me that if I have any problems, I can find someone named Tang Mary, and she will help me..." Lin Bai made up stories while thinking. This kind of nonsense can come out easily.
The night was dark and she did not notice the change in Tang Mary's expression.
Tang Marika's grip on Lin Bai's neck loosened a lot. She seemed to believe what Lin Bai said. She stared at Lin Bai and asked, "Is she safe? Where is she now?"
When Lin Bai heard the question, he was stunned for a moment before slowly replying, "She... is very safe."
Tang Mary asked again: "She asked you to come to me, why didn't you come to me before?"
"Because...Ms. Tang seems difficult to approach, and I don't have anything I need your help with." Lin Bai said politely.
Tang Mary took her hand off Lin Bai's neck and asked her slowly: "Is this why you didn't come to see me... Vera."
Lin Bai was stunned, and looked at Tang Mali with a wary look in his eyes. What did she mean by this? Did she reveal any flaws?
Tang Mary ignored Lin Bai's vigilance and even put away her mace. She whispered, "You are not my daughter, but I have always treated you like one. When my family framed me, you helped me out. It was you who took me to the wilderness to mine ore. It was you who led me to find the Heart of Light. Because of you, I, Tang Mary, have the Tang Group and the Light Building. It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me. Just believe that I, Tang Mary, have never been ungrateful. No matter what you want to do, I will help you and do my best to help you."
In the darkness, Tang Mary's words were clear and sincere. After she finished speaking, she took out a crystal from her collar. It was emitting a warm moonlight-like luster at night. It was an alexandrite crystal. "This is what I didn't have time to give you back then."
She put the crystal in Lin Bai's hand. After getting the stone, Lin Bai knew why Tang Mary recognized him.
There were also alexandrite crystals in the ore she took out from Guangming Building, but none of them were of a higher grade than this one. Alexandrite crystals have magnetic field energy, and when they are close enough, there will be a magnetic field reaction between the crystals.
"You knew it was me who entered Guangming Building?" Lin Bai no longer concealed it.
"I knew it was Vera, but I didn't know you were Vera. Only Vera knew the passwords to the rooms and safes in Guangming Building. No matter how much Vera trusts you, she wouldn't tell you this," Tang Mali said. She stepped aside and saw that Lin Bai was willing to admit his identity. She looked at Lin Bai intently and asked hesitantly, "Vera, what happened? Why is there so much...metal in your body?"
