Chen Ke said unhurriedly, "Now let's see what your brain is actually for."
Li Ruichun was about to stop breathing as her eyes rolled back.
Chen Ke took down a glass jar and put Li Ruichun's head inside.
Just as he had guessed, the liquid inside was unusual; once Li Ruichun's head was inside, it was no different from being attached to his body.
"Now I have a few questions for you. If you don't answer them properly, then I'll have to take out your brain and ask it separately."
Li Ruichun looked terrified, but his blinking indicated that he wanted to answer properly.
"The first question is, what is the ultimate goal of forming Team A?"
·······
Meanwhile, on the ground, Team A was searching for the Level 3 zombie with all their might. The worrying thing was that the Level 3 zombie seemed to have developed a rudimentary consciousness and knew how to hide its tracks.
“That’s the most terrifying thing. If he can create new zombies at any time, the city will soon descend into chaos,” a mid-level general said during an emergency military meeting.
“The residents of the inner city have been notified to stay at home and try not to go out. Moreover, there are many superhumans in the inner city, so Yi Dan can report it immediately if he finds anything. The situation should still be under control.”
"Where are the people in Squad A? Have they already taken action?" Commander Wang Weimin asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the commander, the operation has already begun."
"Also, send more people to protect Chen Jiabao's family." He can't die until he takes out all the weapons and equipment from his spatial storage.
"Yes, Commander!"
As soon as Team A came out, they received orders to escort important military family members to the shelter.
The five of them looked rather grim.
"What are these people thinking? Wouldn't it be better to protect them by finding the zombies quickly?" Qiao Heping asked, puzzled.
Wu Ran gave a mocking smile. "Don't you understand? It doesn't matter whether other people live or die. What matters is that their people don't die. The world is ending. Who do you expect to protect you unconditionally?"
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, let's get started on the mission."
"Hey, Captain, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'm going to the toilet and I'll be right back. You guys go ahead." Wu Ran said this, but he just swaggered away, completely ignoring Lei Boxiu.
“Ever since Wu Ran’s ability was upgraded to level eight, he has become increasingly arrogant.” Yang Daoquan, a fire-type ability user who rarely speaks, suddenly said.
Reber's expression was unreadable. "Let him be. Everyone, time is of the essence. Let's split up and proceed."
The group activated their supernatural abilities and disappeared into the street.
Wu Wei searched the place she left but couldn't find Chen Ke, so she had to go carry out her mission first.
Meanwhile, throughout the inner city, heavily armed soldiers were escorting special vehicles to secret shelters, while Rebersch and the other three patrolled the route to ensure the safe evacuation of these people.
Outside the villa where Chen Jiabao's family lived, Wu Ran stopped the soldiers who came to protect the Chen family, saying, "I'll take care of this place. You can go somewhere else."
The soldiers looked at each other, puzzled; they hadn't received any new instructions.
Wu Ran said impatiently, "Do you think I would lie to you? What are you hesitating for? Get lost!"
"Oh, okay, Earth God, we'll leave right away." After the apocalypse, the army's discipline was lax, and it was no longer the time when military orders were as strict as before. With a slight scare from Wu Ran, the soldiers turned around and left without any hesitation.
Wu Ran walked towards the villa.
Inside the villa, Chen Jiabao and two others stood nervously in the room, each holding a gun, with various weapons scattered on the floor.
He Meihong spat out a disgruntled "Pah!" "Bastards! They said they would give me the best treatment, but when there's danger, they don't care about us at all. I heard that the families of those in power have been sent to safe shelters, leaving us here to die!"
"Hey, keep your voice down. Level 3 zombies have much better hearing. Do you want to attract it?" Chen Shiren said in a low voice.
Chen Jiabao was terrified. The thought of the unknown Level 3 zombie filled her with fear and unease. The image of Chen Ke being surrounded and overwhelmed by the zombie seemed to be right before her eyes.
"Jiabao? Jiabao, are you there?" Suddenly, a voice called out to him from downstairs.
Chen Jiabao was stunned at first, then realized that it was the powerful Earth God from yesterday and exclaimed with joy, "Mom and Dad, it's the Earth God! He's looking for me! Let's go down quickly!"
"It sounds like it, yes, yes, that's his voice." Chen Shiren recognized it at this moment.
He Meihong threw down her gun. "What are you still sitting here for? Hurry up and get down. Maybe he was sent by the commander to protect us."
The three of them, looking delighted, hurriedly went downstairs.
Wu Ran, who was downstairs, immediately became anxious when he saw the three of them. "Are you three alright? I rushed over as soon as I got the news, I was just worried that something might have happened to you."
"Earth God, did you come here on your own initiative? Or was the commander sending you?" He Meihong asked in surprise.
"No, I came to check on you because I was worried about you. Didn't the commander send anyone to protect you?" Wu Ran looked even more surprised than He Meihong.
After hearing these words, the three of them looked rather grim.
They surrendered half of the weapons in the space in exchange for inner city residence and special treatment, thinking that they would live an enviable life of the elite from then on. However, in less than two days, their "special" status disappeared.
In such a dangerous situation, they didn't even send anyone to protect them!
This means they've already figured out that they can only rely on him, so they're providing them with weapons?
Wu Ran took in the changing expressions of the three people. He said with concern, "Your villa is close to the laboratory, and the zombies that escaped are level three. Even if you hide in the house, it won't help. Why don't I escort you to a safe place?"
"That's wonderful, but wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"It's no trouble at all. You're all Chen Ke's family. Now that he's gone, I'll do anything to help you if you're in danger."
"Oh my, Chen Ke must have done something incredibly lucky in his past life to have such a loyal and devoted friend like you."
"Hehe, Auntie is joking." Wu Ran replied with a forced smile. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Jiabao still had half of the weapons in her space, would he have condescended to come and pick them up?
Wu Ran led the three of them toward the laboratory.
Dr. L is right. The commander is too indecisive to wield absolute power. What secrets does Chen Jiabao's space hold? Torture won't reveal them, but dissection will surely uncover them.
No regime, no matter where it is, can ever be monolithic. Even if it appears unified on the surface, there will always be people in the interior who engage in underhanded tactics.
As soon as he joined Team A, Dr. L extended an olive branch to him, promising that he could not only help him improve his ability level as quickly as possible, but also that after seizing power, Wu Ran would definitely have a share of the power in the safe base.
