Chapter 321 Suspected It Was Her
Upon hearing this, Professor Kang and Professor Shen did not ask Qiao Yu where he heard the news, but just sighed deeply.
Professor Kang looked melancholic. "Then the burden of human reproduction will fall solely on the shoulders of the ordinary survivors."
Professor Shen was silent for a while, then turned his gaze to Dr. Ruan, who was hiding in the corner. "If Dr. Ruan knew that the ordinary survivors he had previously killed would become the hope for the continuation of human reproduction, would he regret it?"
"Hmph! I don't think so." Professor Kang snorted, his face full of anger. "He talks about righteousness, but to put it bluntly, he's just trying to gain fame. He's beyond redemption."
It is very difficult for people who have become paranoid to turn back from their wrong path.

The rest of the journey went smoothly for the convoy.
Perhaps it was because Lu Zixian had witnessed their strength head-on, so they didn't dare to continue to confront them head-on.
Five days later, the convoy finally returned to the survivor base in City G.
Qiao Yu and his companions had just sent Professor Kang and Professor Shen back to the research institute when they were taken to Commander Xie's office.
Xie Pingan was a straightforward person who always spoke directly, so he got straight to the point and asked, "Captain Qiao, can you explain to me why none of my soldiers have returned?"
Qiao Yu's face remained calm. "Thank you, Commander. You don't need to ask about this matter. We are ready to tell you."
"What does Captain Joe mean by this?"
"Commander Xie's troops don't seem to be as loyal as you think."
Xie Pingan frowned, "You mean, all the mercenaries I sent out for this exchange, even including Chu Yi, have defected?!"
"Thank you, Commander, for your wisdom!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! With so many soldiers, how could they all be turned against us?"
Moreover, Chu Yi, the leader of the team, was the one he had personally rescued. Ever since they followed him, they had been loyal to him. How could they possibly betray him?!
——Qiao Yu looked at Xie Ping'an who reacted violently and sighed silently.
"Actually, what I mean by subversion is not subversion in the true sense. Because some people are 'subverted' because they are under the control of drugs and have no choice."
Xie Pingan was silent for a while after hearing this, and then asked in a low voice: "Captain Qiao, I want to know, was Chu Yi... drugged?"
Qiao Yu looked at Xie Ping'an, whose face suddenly looked haggard, and suddenly felt a little reluctant, but she couldn't lie about this matter.
"Unfortunately, among the mercenary team that went to City A, the only one who was not drugged and remained conscious the entire time was Chu Yi."
When Xie Pingan heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and just stood there in a daze.
very good.
Xie Ping'an had been blind for so long.
"If Commander Xie doesn't believe us, he can ask other teams or go directly to Professor Kang and Professor Shen for confirmation."
Xie Pingan was silent for a while before he gently shook his head. "Captain Qiao, don't overthink it. I'm not doubting you, I just can't accept it."
In fact, before asking Qiao Yu and the others to come over, Xie Ping'an had already imagined many situations.
But he never expected that the truth would be so cruel.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan exchanged a glance, then continued to speak to Xie Pingan, "Commander Xie, I'm so sorry. But whether you're angry or sad, now is not the time. Because it's not over yet."
Xie Pingan heard Qiao Yu's hidden meaning and frowned even more tightly. "Captain Qiao, please explain clearly."
"We suspect... that there is another traitor lurking in your regiment, just like Chu Yi."
"What did you say? There's more?!" Xie Ping'an clenched his fists and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Qiao Yu nodded, "Although we are only guessing now, but before Chu Yi died..."
"Knock, knock, knock."
Before Qiao Yu could finish his words, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
Xie Ping'an nodded to Qiao Yu, signaling her to wait a moment before continuing, then shouted towards the door, "Come in."
The person who came was Ling Shu.
She didn't wear a military uniform today, but a neat white T-shirt and jeans, but she still wore a pair of black military boots.
I just don’t know why... Qiao Yu felt that the pair of military boots looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
When Ling Shu entered the room, he seemed a little surprised to see Qiao Yu and the others there, but he soon smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Commander, Captain Qiao, I just came back from outside and didn't know you were talking about something. I'm sorry to bother you."
Qiao Yu smiled softly, "It's okay."
"How about I come back later?" Ling Shu said, and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait." Xie Pingan called out to Ling Shu, "Since you've already interrupted me, please finish what you're saying before you leave."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Ling Shu had no choice but to turn back, walked quickly to Xie Ping'an, and handed a document in his hand to Xie Ping'an.
"Commander, this mission has been completed. All the supplies have been brought back and sent to the research institute. However, that place is a bit dangerous, and more than half of the mercenaries who went out were killed."
"Also, I have already investigated the matter you gave me earlier. Here are the results of the investigation. Please review them."
"Okay." Xie Pingan took the document, but did not rush to open it. Instead, he raised his head, looking thoughtful, as if he wanted to ask something: "Xiaoshu, do you usually..."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Before Xie Pingan could finish his words, Qiao Yu interrupted him with a question.
Xie Pingan paused and looked at Qiao Yu with some confusion.
Qiao Yu still had a smile on his face, but his tone contained a hint of toughness that brooked no argument. "Thank you, Commander. What a coincidence! I just remembered that we have some urgent matters to deal with. Besides, it's not convenient for us to interfere in military affairs. Why don't you wait until we finish what we just said? After we leave, you can continue to discuss work matters with Miss Ling."
Xie Ping'an looked at the seriousness on Qiao Yu's face, and a hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes.
When Ling Shu came in just now, Qiao Yu didn't object. Why did her reaction become so intense after just listening to Ling Shu's two words?
Xie Pingan certainly couldn't have imagined that Qiao Yu was not attracted by the two sentences Ling Shu said, but by his address.
Just when Xie Ping'an called out "Xiaoshu", Qiao Yu's mind suddenly emerged with the scene before Chu Yi's death.
"Uncle", "little book".
It turned out that she had been wrong from the very beginning.
This "book" is not that "uncle".
The person Chu Yi called out when he was unconscious before his death might not be a relative at all, but Ling Shu in front of him!
