Hong Haoyue: ...
Seeing that Hong Haoyue remained silent, and because of the fierce look on his face after that kick, he noticed that Hong Haoyue was still silent.
Wen Mofei raised his voice and shouted angrily, "Speak!"
Hong Haoyue was unwilling. He was a dual-elemental ability user, one with lightning and the other with puppet control. His ability was one level higher than Wen Mofei and Chen Xing. However, the two of them had triple candy, worked together perfectly, and had attack fruits as an aid, which is why they forced him to run to this wretched place.
Now that there were three more people, he was even less likely to get anywhere, and he stammered, "I'll talk."
Hong Haoyue spoke slowly, mentally estimating the time it would take before Hong Fuqiu and his men arrived.
"I just want people to study it and then create an antidote..."
"Pah! That's not what you meant when you were in your office with that guy in the white coat." Chen Xing interrupted him, making a spitting gesture like a thug.
“If they’re not behaving properly, just take them back,” Wen Mofei said, glancing at Duan Linzhou, waiting for the other to agree with his idea.
Without hesitation, Duan Linzhou said, "Let's go."
"Sigh, you guys..."
Before Hong Haoyue could finish speaking, she felt a wave of dizziness in the back of her head and fainted.
Wen Mofei threw the stick aside, quickly tied the person up like a dumpling, carried him on his shoulder, and left.
Back at the beach, looking at Qinglong Island not far away, they put on their oxygen beads, and also gave Hong Haoyue one in case he drowned.
"stop!"
A voice rang out.
The group turned around and saw Hong Fuqiu leading his men rushing towards them from a distance.
"Let's go first."
Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou said in unison, and the others did not linger. They told them to be careful and then jumped into the sea.
Lin Hu flew off the ground and dropped several orange smoke bombs high in the air to obscure the view. Duan Linzhou took the opportunity to draw a wall of fire.
After finishing quickly, I plunged into the sea.
Perhaps because the two islands are too close together, the protective barriers on both sides are almost touching, and there are no marine mutant beasts around.
Someone was waiting for them at the place on Qinglong Island where they had left during the day. They handed over the still unconscious Hong Haoyue to the person who was waiting for them, and then went back to rest.
Just as the sun rose above the horizon, someone came to summon Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou to discuss something.
Several people were already seated in a conference room with a long table set up for meetings, including Dr. Qian and Dr. Wang.
Duan Bohai gestured for the two to find seats before speaking: "After interrogating Hong Haoyue, the island lord of Bright Island, last night, I learned that they are secretly researching the zombie virus, attempting to use it to reinfect superhumans and obtain the advanced crystal cores produced by them to expand their strength."
At the same time, they want to release large amounts of virus onto our island to raise corpses.
Duan Bohai's voice became somewhat angry by the end, as did those listening around him.
They've finally managed to stabilize things; how can they allow outsiders to disrupt it?
"This Bright Island is really going too far!" Chen Qingxiang clenched his fist on the table and angrily punched it, wishing he could go to the dungeon right now and beat up Hong Haoyue.
The crowd was also affected by the noise and condemned Hong Haoyue's actions.
Seeing that the situation was gradually deviating from the purpose of today's meeting, Duan Bohai immediately spoke up to stop it, "Alright, let's be quiet for a bit."
Once things calmed down, Duan Bohai looked at Lin Hu and said, "Lin Hu, we found snow lotus on Hong Haoyue during the interrogation. I plan to give it to Dr. Qian and Dr. Wang for research. What do you think?"
To avoid gossip, Duan Bohai always called people by their full names when there were many people at meetings.
Lin Hu then understood why he had been asked to come along today. Usually, because Lin Hu couldn't get up in the morning, Duan Bohai wouldn't call him for any meetings in the morning.
It's no wonder that the former doctor, who was always racing against time to stay at the clinic, and Dr. Wang, who was slacking off at the clinic, came together.
"Of course," Lin Hu nodded and readily agreed.
How could he not be happy? The snow lotus had already been auctioned off for a high price, and he had received a generous sum. It didn't matter to him who ended up with the snow lotus afterward.
Duan Bohai still chose to say it in front of so many people, probably to introduce his status to others.
After all, out of the 30-plus people at this rectangular desk, he only knows about a third of them.
Those were recruited to the island later, and their strength and abilities have been recognized.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a sudden knock on the door. After a moment of silence inside, Duan Bohai asked to let people in, looking displeased.
He had previously instructed everyone not to disturb him during the meeting unless it was something important, but now someone was knocking on the door, which was definitely not a good thing, so Duan Bohai was naturally not in a good mood.
"What's wrong?" Duan Bohai asked in a deep voice as Chen Xing entered through the door.
When Lin Hu turned around and saw that it was Chen Xing, he was slightly surprised. Although Chen Xing was a spirited young man and usually looked a bit roguish, he never caused trouble when it came to important matters. Now it seemed that something big was going to happen.
"Something's wrong with Chen Mingyao. He seems to have turned into a zombie!" Chen Xing's voice trembled, and his lips turned white.
"What!"
Many people stood up, and Duan Bohai was no exception. He walked over, pressed the man's shoulder, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
“I don’t know either. When I woke up this morning, I went to wake him up as usual, but I found that he had a fever. A little while later, he suddenly started attacking me, and his movements and voice were like a zombie.” Chen Xing quickly explained what he had seen.
Duan Bohai hesitated for a moment, then said to the others in the conference room, "Today's meeting will be postponed. I'll go check on the situation."
