Chapter 575: Mist. Life imprisonment
There are only two people detained in Isolation Room No. 1 now, Zou Xin and Yao Mengna. One is at the head and the other at the tail. They are so far apart that one cannot hear their conversation at all.
Chu An came to Zou Xin's cell and dismissed the only guard. Since there were fewer and smaller Ulandu captured later, only 20 tubes of antidote were allocated to temporarily wake up the more important middle-level cadres and maintain the basic operation of the base.
Zou Xin sat on the ground at the innermost part, his head leaning against the wall, his eyes half closed, a smile on his lips, no one knew what he was thinking.
“You’re here.”
"Just say whatever you want to say. My time is precious." He wanted to sleep a little longer, so he went into the space to pack up his supplies.
"You must be very curious about me?" Zou Xin said self-righteously in a nonchalant tone.
"I'm not curious. If you don't have anything to say, I'll go back."
After saying that, he pretended to leave. This time, Zou Xin got anxious and quickly stood up and walked to the iron railings. "Wait, don't you want to know how I impersonated Zhe Xiguang?"
"You look a lot like him. You killed him and impersonated him." Chu An said this deliberately. She was not going to reveal any information about herself.
Zou Xin was a little bit unconvinced. He narrowed his eyes and began to look Chu An up and down. His face was fair, his forehead was full, his eyes were clear, and his whole face looked very gentle. It was completely different from the aura he had when he was underground before. Could it be that he was overthinking it?
"Have you ever heard of time travel, rebirth, or soul travel?"
"I've read about it in novels, but they're all fake. How is that possible?" Chu An looked at him as if he were a madman.
Zou Xin held the railing tightly, thinking that he was too nervous before. In addition, the little girl in front of him was quite skilled, so he mistakenly thought that she also had some chance. Now that he thought about it carefully, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and her good skills might be the result of training in the last two years of the apocalypse.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt relieved. It would be hard to find another person in the world who has been reborn and traveled through time like him.
However, it is better to be cautious. How could the person in front of him recognize him without any chance? It is too unscientific. "How did you know I am Zou Xin?"
Chu An knew he would ask this, "Because you are a little stupid and you revealed too many flaws."
"My flaw?" Zou Xin couldn't believe it.
Chu An was helpless. It seemed that he would not give up unless he dug deeper. "You relied on your resemblance to Zou Xin to gain Dr. Zhao's trust, and then instigated him to avenge Zou Xin. Maybe you had taken some actions before, but they all failed until this spider wave.
What you said about being beaten by Situ Yi and then stealing the lock is probably the opposite. You beat Situ Yi and ended up with a fake electronic lock. You were unwilling to accept it, but you couldn't find out who had the second electronic lock, so you killed him and went downstairs to perform a self-torture trick. "
"Well said, well said." Zou Xin let go of the railing and clapped his hands a few times. "Then where did you start to doubt me?"
Chu An sneered, seeing your spirit reflected in her heart, but she couldn't say that.
"While Dr. Zhao was broadcasting."
"Why?" Zou Xin was puzzled.
"When we suspected you had a problem, Dr. Zhao suddenly jumped out to play the biggest villain." Chu An took a deep breath, "Don't you think it's too fake? In the final analysis, you are too impatient. If according to what you said before, Dr. Zhao killed Situ Yi, he should have an electronic lock, and he should have asked you to cooperate to open the lock or threaten you to hand over another electronic lock, instead of forcing you to find a way to get the suitcase. No matter who it is, as long as they think about it carefully, they can figure out that you two are acting for the person who took Situ Yi's electronic lock."
"Interesting, then why didn't you expose me immediately?" Zou Xin sneered, "If you had exposed me earlier, Cui Yingjie and the others wouldn't have to die."
Chu An looked at Zou Xin coldly. This man wanted to play psychological warfare and put the blame on her, but unfortunately her heart was not warm enough to that extent.
She withdrew her gaze and turned her head, just in time to see Yao Mengna on the opposite side. She was also leaning on the railing and looking over here, and there was no arrogance in her eyes.
"I thought you would act until the end." Chu An looked at Yao Mengna and said to Zou Xin.
The situation was very chaotic at the time. Song Yunfei and Cui Yingjie did not trust her. Even if they told her, it was hard for them to believe her. Zou Xin's mind was double vision, conscience and evil reappeared repeatedly. Before she confirmed what this phenomenon was, she could not make a hasty conclusion. Moreover, Gu Ye's breath was unstable and Wang Guan was injured. She could only get out faster if she didn't say anything.
In the same dangerous situation, she would prioritize saving her own people.
Of course, it is also a gamble that Zou Xin will keep acting until the end. He can't manage the base alone. Song Yunfei and Cui Yingjie are his best right-hand men. Moreover, Li Jian exposed his identity to prove that he trusts him. He really doesn't need to kill them.
If her plan goes according to the plan, no one will be able to testify against him in the end, and Chu An may not be able to convince Shangguan Hongxin to believe in him.
Ultimately, it was Zou Xin who brought his own death upon himself, choosing to kill when he shouldn't have.
"The saints must die first in the end times. Don't be soft-hearted." Zou Xin said coldly, "I will kill anyone who poses a threat to me, even if there is only a hint of it."
Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. In this world, not only are there "saints" who harm people, but there is also the causal cycle caused by the butterfly effect; the magnification of small things caused by the spotlight effect; and the overconfidence caused by the Barnum effect. I believe that a person as stubborn as him, once he determines something, will collect all kinds of evidence to support himself, thus becoming even more blind.
Alas, sometimes killing is not the best way to solve a problem.
"I suggest you see a psychiatrist first. I think your..." Chu An drew a circle on his temples with his index finger, turned around and ignored Yao Mengna's anxious eyes.
"Don't worry about that. You will never understand what I've been through." Zou Xin confirmed that she was nothing special, and immediately lost interest. He slowly walked to the wall and sat down. "Go away. I don't have anything to tell you."
"Didn't you say you would tell me everything when you see me?" Chu An pretended to question, "What is your relationship with Zhe Xiguang? Why do you look so similar? Did you have plastic surgery?"
"That's my life-saving trump card. Do you think I will tell you easily?"
Bang--
Before Chu An could say anything, the newly installed door of the isolation room was slammed open with great force, becoming precarious again. Shangguan Hongxin walked in angrily, "How dare you go back on your word?"
Zou Xin was startled, then sneered, "So what?"
Zhou Bai stopped the furious Shangguan Hongxin and said, "Don't be impulsive, Captain Shangguan. Why don't you let me send him to cZR? There will be someone there to make him talk."
Shangguan Hongxin's eyes narrowed, "No, as long as he doesn't tell me, I can't let him go."
Zhou Bai, "You still want to fight against cZR, cZR can't just sit there and watch something like this happen."
"Then let the cZR people come here. You are from cZR, so you can study him here."
Shangguan Hongxin and Zhou Bai had just been eavesdropping on him through the intercom. He glanced at Chu An after he finished speaking. This was the first thing he promised Chu An, to keep Zou Xin in the base forever and to ensure his safety. Of course, he would not stop others from doing research. If they could uncover the secret of his reincarnation or soul-transmigrating, it would be best to save Zhe Xiguang. If not, they would stop him from soul-transmigrating again, otherwise, who knows who would be harmed.
Chu An showed no expression and quietly turned off the walkie-talkie in his pocket.
Zhou Bai was speechless, his ability was limited. But now this was Shangguan Hongxin's territory, so it was not easy to use force.
"Let's go, let's talk outside." Zhou Bai pushed Shangguan Hongxin out, and Chu An followed them out, taking one last look at Zou Xin before closing the door. His spirit had completely turned black, and his conscience was covered in black, looming.
This is why she has no intention of exchanging secrets with Zou Xin, and cannot even reveal any clues. This stupid man is definitely a variable.
Fortunately, Shangguan Hongxin can be trusted. Maybe it is because he has not experienced the end of the world, but his spirit is full of green hope in addition to conscience. Green is the rarest color she has seen in the end of the world.
