Chapter 54: Smart as a Boss



Lin Zizhen took Xu Zhi into the depths of the building, turned a few corners and passed through the body of the building, and then came to the back, a large open-air area.

There were a lot of equipment in the venue. Xu Zhi didn't quite understand what they were used for, so Lin Zizheng took her into another building behind the building.

"The main building is usually used by the logistics department, and other departments are located inside." Lin Zizhen explained.

Xu Zhi noticed that the buildings here were basically white and light gray, with only one building being different from the others. It was pure black and only about four stories high. Compared with the other buildings, not only the color but also the height was particularly noticeable.

"What is that place?" Xu Zhi asked, pointing at the building.

Lin Zizhen looked over and replied in a normal tone, "That's where the regulatory department is located. It's used to store some dangerous items. It was built with functionality in mind, so the structure is special."

"Dangerous items?" Xu Zhi asked.

Lin Zizhen's expression remained calm: "Well, for example, any alien species captured alive will be imprisoned in there."

Wow.

"Are there any alien species in there now?"

Lin Zizhen nodded: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

According to their assumptions, Yuncheng should be full of alien species. Why did Xu Zhi look particularly interested in such a common thing?

Do you want to know if there is any research progress on alien species in the outside world?

Lin Zizheng was thinking about reasonable ideas in his mind, and felt that it was very likely to be the case. After all, Yuncheng did not have such abundant experimental resources and manpower as the outside world. Even if the alien species could be captured, it was probably impossible to research anything, right?

In addition, the environment of Yuncheng is bound to produce a large number of alien species, so it is understandable that Xu Zhi is curious about alien species experiments.

No one in the outside world could have imagined that the alien species in Yuncheng had all gathered in the city center for some reason, and had not caused much trouble to humans living in Yuncheng outside the city center. Naturally, their thinking would not deviate to this.

Even in their imagination, there must not be many living people and extraordinary people in Yuncheng now, and it is not ruled out that they will be completely wiped out by alien species in the near future.

Before that, they had to get as much information about Yuncheng from Xu Zhi as possible.

After all, who knows if she will die in Yuncheng the next moment?

But this obviously cannot be said in front of Xu Zhi.

"If Miss Xu needs it, you can exchange some intelligence with us for experimental data on alien species."

Xu Zhi smiled when he heard this, but did not answer him immediately.

"This is where the operations department is located." Lin Zizhen took Xu Zhi into a gray building.

This place is much quieter than the main building. People who occasionally pass by the two of them are in a hurry and look tired. However, many people look at Lin Zizhen in surprise when they see him.

It seemed surprising that Lin Zizhen appeared here.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the door. Xu Zhi looked back and saw a male leader with a military temperament walking in with four people. However, judging from their appearance, each of them was more or less injured. They probably just came back from a mission.

The soldier frowned when he saw Lin Zizhen: "Lin Zizhen? What are you doing here?"

He didn't hide the rejection in his tone, but Lin Zizhen remained calm: "Captain Wan, why are you so angry?"

The two seemed to be about to quarrel. Xu Zhi stood aside and watched the show with pleasure. At the same time, she quietly opened her [Prying Eyes] and looked at the group of people.

So weak.

After seeing it clearly, Xu Zhi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Not to mention compared with Zhong Lingfan and Shen Jinwen, even compared with the "flames" in the bodies of those extraordinary people that she saw with the [Eye of Prying Eyes] in the garden, these extraordinary people in the outside world seemed dim.

Even the man called "Captain" is only barely on par with those extraordinary people, and is still a little behind Zhong Lingfan and Shen Jinwen.

The extraordinary people in the outside world are weaker than she thought.

No wonder they are so eager to enter Yuncheng. Maybe they have discovered the effect of the black fog?

However, someone in that team noticed something was wrong with Xu Zhi. A boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, looked at Xu Zhi and asked, "What are you looking at?"

This sentence attracted the attention of "Captain Wan" and Lin Zizhen who were in the confrontation. Xu Zhi had already closed his [Prying Eyes] and looked normal, but the boy asked, "Did you just use your supernatural powers on us?"

"Very sharp." Xu Zhi praised nonchalantly, "Yes, I used it a little."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Zizhen and said, "Let's go. I've finished looking. Take me to that building to take another look."

Lin Zizhen nodded slightly and was about to leave with Xu Zhi, but Captain Wan took a step forward and said, "Wait, who are you? Why are you using your supernatural powers on my team members?"

"You, what did you do?"

"Wan Luo, Miss Xu didn't do anything. She just looked at you. You must have something else to do, right? Why don't you go and do it first?"

Before Xu Zhi could speak, Lin Zizheng answered before her.

The man named Wan Luo looked at Lin Zizhen, and surprisingly, he did not persist as Xu Zhi had imagined. Instead, he took a step back and did not try to stop Xu Zhi anymore.

Xu Zhi, who always learned about interpersonal relationships through TV dramas, felt sorry about this. She thought there would be a quarrel.

After leaving the Operations Department building, Xu Zhi deliberately said to Lin Zizhen in an ignorant tone: "I saw their extraordinary level, and I am a little curious."

"Why are the extraordinary people out there so weak?"

After hearing this subtle question, and even after Xu Zhi directly stated that he could see other people's extraordinary levels, even though he had made sufficient mental preparations before setting off, Lin Zizhen was still surprised and a little shaken.

So he did not directly answer Xu Zhi's question, but while he was considering how to answer, Xu Zhi directly said the next sentence.

"Oh, so that's why you want to go in. After all, most of the black fog is inside Cloud City, and you can't find it. You have a treasure mountain but can't enter. You should be anxious."

Lin Zizhen paused, and Xu Zhi, who was walking in front of him, turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"Am I wrong?"

"How did Miss Xu know?" People in Yuncheng should not have noticed this at all, right?

Even if she had been out twice before, she shouldn't have noticed this so quickly. After all, how could a normal person react so quickly to something called a "disaster" being actually a huge treasure? Furthermore, in Cloud City's current situation, everyone inside should still be busy and exhausted. Even if most of the people they encountered were extraordinary, they would only think they were experiencing survivor bias, and most ordinary people would have died long ago.

"Is it strange?" Xu Zhi asked first.

"It's not surprising, right? Anything is possible in the city right now, and it's not something you outsiders can predict."

As the girl said this, she glanced slightly in the direction of the city. Lin Zizhen couldn't discern the emotion in her eyes, but the next second, she retracted her gaze and looked at him, saying, "I just want you to understand that the inside and outside of the city are now two different worlds. If you think something is important outside the city, no one will pick it up if you drop it on the ground inside the city."

"So, don't try to bargain with me. Just give me what I want."
