Chapter 155 Lying from the Beginning
"Several survivors mentioned that before escaping the base, they had witnessed a humanoid monster several meters tall. It looked like a human, but not entirely human." Wu Yingzhou reported to Yan Chu.
How many meters high?
Yan Chu frowned. The monster she saw was at least several hundred meters long.
It seems that in the following period, the thing grew in size alarmingly by constantly devouring the zombies in the base.
"What about Yuan Lin's situation?" Yan Chu asked again.
Wu Yingzhou stroked his chin and replied, "According to them, Yuan Lin is the doctor at the Tomorrow Base. He's kind and helpful, and several people have received his help."
Base doctor?
Yan Chu's eyes suddenly darkened.
In the end times, medical resources can be said to be very important.
Professionals like doctors and nurses cannot be trained in a short period of time, and in this dangerous world, injuries are commonplace.
Take the Jiangcheng base as an example, the shortage of medical personnel is very serious.
But no matter which base it is, no matter how abundant the medical resources are, it is impossible to allow important base doctors to participate in human experiments, right?
What's more, it is an extremely dangerous experiment with no clear consequences.
What is even more suspicious is that when Ji Liang described it, Yuan Lin sounded like just an ordinary experimenter who volunteered to participate in the experiment, and his occupation and identity were completely glossed over.
There must be something else going on here.
When Yan Chu was thinking about writing the connection between them, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Sister!" Ling Ziyue poked her head out from behind the door, her gray eyes sparkling with excitement. "I'm here to see you!"
Yan Chu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly pointed at him: "You've come just in time, I've been waiting for you!"
Ling Ziyue: “?”

When Ji Liang stepped into the conference room, his eyes fell on the three people in the conference room. His footsteps suddenly stopped and his voice was a little hesitant.
"These people are..."
Yan Chu introduced him calmly: "This is Captain Wu Yingzhou, you should already know him, and this one..."
She looked at the black-haired boy beside her, "He's my friend, Ling Ziyue."
Ji Liang quickly glanced at the two of them, his hands clenched unconsciously at his sides, and he whispered, "Commander Yan, didn't you promise me last time that you wouldn't let anyone else know about the experiment?"
"I did promise you not to tell the Central Base," Yan Chu raised his eyebrows, "but they are not from the Central Base."
As for Ling Ziyue, that guy just wants to watch the show all day long, and he can't be considered a member of the central base.
Ling Ziyue glanced at Yan Chu silently.
Did she do it on purpose?
You knew he could hear it, so you emphasized it in your mind, right?
Seeing Ji Liang's tense expression, Yan Chu smiled and said, "We are all family, what are you afraid of? Sit down."
Ji Liang hesitantly pulled out a chair at the edge of the conference table and sat down, far away from them.
Yan Chu took out the report that Ji Liang had given her earlier and placed it on the table.
"I called you here today to confirm some information about the first experimental subject, Yuan Lin."
Ji Liang turned his face away: "I've already said everything I need to say. His experiment failed. What else is there to ask?"
Yan Chu's eyes narrowed slightly. "You're continuing this experiment in our base. In the final stage, you still need test subjects, right? If I don't ask clearly, how can I convince others to participate in the experiment?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Liang finally nodded: "Okay, ask."
"Is there any special reason why you chose him as the first experimental subject?" Yan Chu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is it because of his special ability? Or is it because of some physical indicator?"
"Neither," Ji Liang lowered his eyes, "He participated voluntarily."
Yan Chu was stunned: "Voluntary?"
"He wants to become stronger, and I need a test subject," Ji Liang said in a low voice, "We each get what we need."
Yan Chu couldn't help but frown: "Doesn't he know that the first experiment will most likely fail?"
Ji Liang curled his lips and said, "Of course he knows, but he just wants to bet on that one in ten thousand chance. If the bet succeeds, his strength will increase significantly, and he will jump from a D-level psychic to an A-level psychic."
Wu Yingzhou looked puzzled: "Then we can wait until the experiment is successful before participating, right?"
Ling Ziyue, standing by, suddenly scoffed and said indifferently, "Once the experiment is successful, everyone else will be rushing to sign up. There won't be a chance for a D-level esper like him to get a chance. By then, he'll probably just become a crystal core to feed the experimental subjects."
Ji Liang couldn't help but look at Ling Ziyue in surprise.
The boy's words were exactly the same as the reasons Yuan Lin had told him.
Wu Yingzhou scratched his head. "Even if he's not a powerful psychic, as a doctor, his status in the base wouldn't be low. Why is he so persistent in becoming stronger?"
As soon as the word "doctor" came out, Ji Liang's face suddenly changed and he stood up: "Have you investigated him a long time ago?"
Wu Yingzhou's heart tightened. Oh no, he accidentally let something slip.
Compared to the nervous Wu Yingzhou, Yan Chu's expression did not change at all. Instead, he looked at him casually with his chin supported.
"Of course I have to investigate. Why, do you think I should believe everything you say?"
As she spoke, she emphasized indifferently, "Don't forget, you're the one asking for my help now. Training powerful psychics is dispensable to me. Success is great, but failure shouldn't affect my base."
Ji Liang's momentum instantly weakened and he slowly sat back in his chair.
"……you're right."
Yan Chu arched his eyebrows and said, "However, I am actually very curious. What is the reason why Yuan Lin is so persistent in becoming stronger?"
Ji Liang opened his mouth, but finally shook his head: "This... I don't know either."
Yan Chu glanced at his bracelet, which was red.
She raised her eyes and gave Ling Ziyue a look.
Ling Ziyue got the hint and leaned lazily against the back of the chair, a hint of amusement flashing in his gray eyes: "It's because of a woman, right?"
Ji Liang's face stiffened slightly, his hands clenched and unclenched under the table, still gritting his teeth and shaking his head: "I really don't know."
Ling Ziyue laughed with interest: "You obviously know it very clearly."
Ji Liang's heart sank suddenly and he looked at the black-haired boy in astonishment.
Every time he met those unusual grey eyes, he felt as if all his disguises had been stripped away, leaving him exposed to the other person's gaze without any cover.
"What do you mean by 'each taking what he needs'? That's actually a lie."
Ling Ziyue stood up slowly, walked in front of Ji Liang, and looked down at his pupils which had shrunk due to nervousness.
"You've been lying since the beginning."
He leaned forward, casting a shadow in front of Ji Liang. "You and Yuan Lin are obviously very good friends, aren't you?"
