Chapter 134 Confession
Pu Zhi and Pei Qian just nodded. Both sides knew each other well and did not need any cumbersome introductions.
Qin Miao was the last one to sit down. This courtyard house had been converted into a neo-Chinese style, with plenty of white space and glass, plus elegant wooden-style decoration. It gave people a sense of tranquility and warmth in its simplicity.
There was tea and Chinese pastries on the table. Pei Yu drank without a second thought. Wen Qianxue slowly turned the cup and said straight to the point, "Miss Qin, just say what you want to say."
Qin Miao sighed softly: "There are bugs in both of your cars, so I asked you to come here. Although I have been exposed, I just checked here and it is relatively safe. Let's talk here if you have anything to say."
Seeing his younger brother's incredulous expression, Pei Qian shook his head helplessly: "It's because you're so unstable that Grandpa didn't tell you about it."
Pei Yu was even more confused now: "No? Brother, you knew it too, but you didn't tell me? What if I leaked some secret?"
Qin Miao patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Your brother is doing this for your own good. You act impulsively and accidentally do something irreparable. How many times has your brother followed you around and cleaned up for you?"
The words were rough but the truth was there, and Pei Yu blushed immediately, but he was more curious about who installed the eavesdropping device in his car.
"It's hard to say, but it's definitely related to the Qin and Zheng families. Of course, there are still things in your car that the old man pretended to be." Pei Qian said lightly.
Pei Yu's face was almost wrinkled into a ball, it felt like anyone could tamper with his car. "That's not right, old man, forget about pretending, brother, since you knew there were other people's eavesdropping devices, why didn't you tell me?"
Pei Qian smiled but said nothing. Instead, Qin Miao said cheerfully, "Because you're here, we can confuse everyone. That's why your brother usually keeps important things from you."
Pei Yu: Okay, okay, let’s play like this, right?
…
After hearing Pu Zhi's account of Base No. 3, Pei Qian and Qin Miao gained a deeper understanding of the base.
The two of them had noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but Qin Miao's father and the others kept it a secret too tightly, and they had to go through a lot of trouble and be very careful before they finally found out a little bit of the truth.
Now that we have the precedent of the incident at Base No. 3, things that I didn’t understand before have suddenly become much clearer.
Looking at the two people discussing back and forth, Pu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This matter has implicated the Qin family. The person in charge of the Qin family is Qin Miao's father. Is she willing to confront her own father for a stranger?
Feeling Pu Zhi's gaze, Qin Miao just smiled gently, turned around and said a guess: "I suspect Wu Dao is faking his death. He has always been proud and stubborn. He watched me grow up. Pei Qian and you should be familiar with his temper.
If his father and the others really wanted him to die, it would be impossible for him to do it quietly. Even if he died, it would make a noise.
Wu Jie and the Zheng family have been very close lately. I've checked and found a lot of things that are registered under Uncle Zheng's name, but they're actually still Wu's. They probably feel they can't keep it a secret for too long, to prevent public backlash if it's leaked."
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right. Miss Pu also said that an earthquake will occur in a few months. It's very likely that the base will need to be rebuilt, or even merged with several other bases. There's no way to hide the martial arts."
Pei Yu asked in confusion: "Why didn't they build a shelter in advance? Are Uncle Qin and the others willing to watch innocent people die like this? What good will this do them?"
Qin Miao touched his head. The carrot-head who used to follow her and call her sister had grown up a lot. "There are too few resources now, and a smaller population is actually better for them. Of course, there must be more other reasons, but we don't know them now."
"Is there anything we can do? There are so many people in the base. If an earthquake hits, the casualties will be at least a million." Wen Qianxue said with a heavy face.
Qin Miao and Pei Qian looked at each other. Both of them felt that they had the will but not the strength. Although the special ability team was now composed of their own people, they were still far from enough to fight against such a huge base.
In particular, the laser weapons in the base are already very advanced, and even if they have special powers, they cannot withstand the fire bombardment.
Pu Zhi listened quietly and didn't say much.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Miao walked out to open the door, only to see the base commander dressed in a new outfit, a long coat and a mask. He had just gotten out of the car for less than half a minute, and was already sweating profusely in the hot temperature.
"Father, why are you here..." Qin Miao was a little at a loss. Why would his father come to this place? Did his father also tamper with Pei Yu's car?
No, besides myself, there is only one subordinate in this place who has been responsible for cleaning. He grew up with me and is the person I trust the most.
Qin Miao turned around and looked angrily at the person standing not far away: "Zhang Qian!"
Zhang Qian shuddered and immediately knelt on one knee: "Miss, I am also concerned about your safety. I have absolutely no intention of betraying you. As long as you are fine, it is up to you to beat or kill me."
Qin Xiu walked in, turned around and closed the door, saying, "Miaomiao, don't blame him. I forced him to do it."
He looked at Zhang Qian on the ground and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, you get up first. Miaomiao, let's go inside and talk."
After saying that, he took Qin Miao's hand and walked straight to the room where Pei Qian and the others were.
Except for Pu Zhi, the expressions of the other three people were not good. They all thought that they were doing things very secretly, but who knew that there was an insider.
Qin Xiu came in and chose a seat in the middle to sit down. After looking at his daughter, he said earnestly, "I know you know some things and don't trust me very much, but I also have my own difficulties.
You should know that what they are researching can make humans mutate and gain powerful strength, but you don’t know that there will be a collective mutation of zombies in August.
Now the zombies have collectively upgraded twice. Except for Miss Pu, you all witnessed the horror of the last zombie attack on the city.
Even though we have so many superpowers and so many advanced weapons at Base One, the fighting was still brutal. You all know how many people died in that battle."
He sighed heavily and continued, "The next mutation will happen in a few months. By then, all of them will be level three or four zombies. Even if we use the most advanced weapons and sacrifice all of us, we still won't be able to resist.
So I had to keep him. The future of our species needs that kind of power. Otherwise, only death awaits us."
There was a long silence in the room. Everyone was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to start talking.
Qin Xiu lowered his head slightly and rubbed his forehead tiredly: "Your Uncle Zheng and I didn't think it through about the earthquake. It's my fault for not telling you.
This matter involves too many issues, and we have chosen not to talk about it for the time being due to various considerations.
First, if you just say there will be an earthquake in August, people will definitely not believe it. Instead, they will think the base is crazy.
Secondly, if earthquakes are a means of destruction in the future, then the research done by Wu Dao and others is certainly inevitable, and the base cannot withstand the rebellious emotions of more than 10 million people.
They won't let Wu Dao live. Without him, humanity's hope is gone. Perhaps this is too cruel for many people. But Miao Miao, as long as you and everyone else can live well, I am willing to bear this infamy alone."
