Chapter 143 Kunwuye suffers severe injuries and falls into a coma
Upon seeing Shan Ran's little black snake, Gano's tiny black eyes immediately lit up with excitement and elation.
During the process, it stayed close to the other, and several times they even got tangled together, accidentally turning into a messy ball of yarn.
Gano was a little embarrassed.
He manually separated the two small black snakes. The small black snake with the mountain dye opened its mouth and bit his snake's waist tightly, looking very angry.
Unfortunately, in the following journey, Gano had to focus more of his attention on the little black snake, instead of letting it do as it pleased as before.
After allowing himself to control the snake extensively, Gano was able to sense the thoughts in its head, which was about the size of a walnut kernel.
[It smells so good! So good! So good! So good! So good! I want to stick it all over myself! I want to stick it all over myself!...]
Gano:.........
That's so embarrassing.
Although this was also what he was thinking, he felt a little embarrassed that his little snake had expressed it so bluntly.
The little black snake's entanglement didn't delay them much, and the two quickly arrived at their destination.
They eventually stopped together in front of a dark public restroom.
The door was ajar, and the bathroom was dark, but a strong smell of blood wafted out.
This is an ordinary office building, next to which are the temporary residences arranged for the heads of various bases.
This place is not far from Shan Ran's residence; it is the most bustling, populated, and solidly built area in the central urban district.
This was to show them the prosperity of the central area and to establish the central area as a model, so that they would believe that by following the central area, they could all build their bases like this and live a good life.
Therefore, the residence has a large number of guards and a high level of vigilance.
However, there are fewer staff members in the office building.
Especially at night, when everyone in the office has left, there are only a few guards on duty.
It's dark under the lamp.
Shan Ran immediately noticed something was wrong with the office building.
It's too quiet.
Even if it's late at night and everyone is asleep, this building shouldn't be completely empty.
We didn't see any guards along the way.
She was messaging Cheadle and the security chief with one hand, while making a careful gesture toward Gano with the other.
The two then slowly pushed open the slightly ajar door and went inside.
The lights inside the room couldn't be turned on, clearly indicating that someone had cut off the power beforehand.
After confirming that there were no flammable gases in the room, Shanran lit a few small flames and held them in the air.
The once clean and tidy bathroom is now littered with corpses, and blood has smeared the walls and floor.
Roughly counting, there were about four or five corpses.
On the ground lay Kunwu Yecheng.
Shan Ran rushed forward to check on him and found that Kunwu Yecheng was seriously injured and unconscious.
She and Gano recognized the corpses on the ground as belonging to one of the entourage members from the Evergreen Base who had come to the meeting a few days earlier.
Gano released the little black snake, which slithered past several corpses, sniffing carefully at something, before turning its head and disappearing through the bathroom vent without looking back.
The boy beside Shan Ran immediately became invisible and disappeared from the spot.
Almost simultaneously, the guards arrived with their men, and members of the Kunwu squad also received the news and rushed over.
The Kunwu team just returned from a mission today, arriving quite late, and hasn't had a chance to inform Shanran yet.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen?
Accompanying them were healing and light-type ability users who provided on-site treatment to Kunwu Yecheng.
He is definitely the person who knows the situation best. As long as he wakes up, he will know what just happened.
"Detain everyone at the Evergreen Base and interrogate them in isolation."
"Yes, District Chief!"
"Seal off the central area, block all entrances and exits, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. Review all surveillance footage, check the area around this building, and also check the residences of the heads of the major bases."
"Yes, District Chief!"
Chandler arrived a little later. After seeing the scene, he had several guesses in his mind and also discovered signs that the network had been hacked.
"The other party's digital information technology is very strong, no less than mine, and they had been lying dormant for a long time, only briefly infiltrating in the middle of the night, which is why no one noticed anything unusual."
All the guards patrolling the building have disappeared, and no one knows how they disposed of the body; not even a corpse has been found.
"Is it the person who infiltrated and assassinated us?"
Chandler's expression was grave. "It should be. One of them was a very powerful digital information ability user, and he was multi-elemental. He escaped on the spot. Besides the infiltrators, there were people outside to meet them. These people were all elite assassins, very orderly, ruthless, and experienced."
Shan Ran clenched her fists. "Now that you're here, none of you will leave."
Suddenly, a scene from elsewhere flashed before Shanran's eyes.
She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them, her pupils were vertical slits.
Synesthesia.
Gano was using synesthesia with her.
When using synesthesia, she can see what the other person sees, hear the sounds around him, feel his touch, and even communicate with him directly.
"Sister, the little black snake is lingering near the base leader's residence. Those people are inside this building and haven't left."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"elder sister......"
"What's wrong?" Shanran noticed a hint of hesitation in Ganuo's voice.
"I could feel my instructor's presence."
"Instructors? The people who trained you from a young age?"
"The person who trained us from childhood is dead. His daughter inherited everything from him, including the Gongyang family name, and became the new instructor. When she took office, my brother and I had already left the training camp. In addition to training new recruits, she was also in charge of all the Gongyang family's elite soldiers."
"The Gongyang family actually sent someone like this. It seems they were determined to get A Shang before. He's already wanted by the whole continent, yet he still dared to sneak into the central area."
"Sister, you must be careful of her. I still don't know how many abilities she has, or her level. And she rarely reveals her aura like this, so she must have already taken action!"
"Yes, I've arrived."
As they were talking, Shan Ran had already arrived beside Gano.
Gano remained invisible. Ever since he learned that Gongyang Qiyue had arrived, he had been on high alert, completely concealing his presence.
At this time, the area around the residence was under comprehensive and thorough surveillance to ensure that no one could escape.
Shan Ran carried the cloth in, and Gano followed behind invisibly.
The Evergreen Base members have been detained and each member is being interrogated individually.
The others were interrogated individually, by base.
Chandler had already cut off the network for the entire building before the guards entered.
Strangely, a post appeared online.
What is the central district doing? Wasn't the plan to hold a meeting for the heads of all the bases? Why have they all been arrested? And detained separately, no less. Is it because the meeting didn't reach an agreement, so they're using force to make them submit?
The accompanying picture shows people from the Evergreen Base protesting when they were taken away. Due to the urgency of the situation, the guards used force to subdue them and take them away.
These are images taken from a surveillance camera, clearly obtained after a digital information ability user infiltrated the system. The faces in the images are very clear, and you can see that they are indeed several high-ranking officials from the Evergreen Base, followed by their entourage, including security personnel.
Although the post was made late at night, many night owls were still up and replying.
Why would they do something like this in the middle of the night? Did someone from the Evergreen Base make a mistake? Or is it because they disagreed with Shan Ran, so they secretly arrested her in the middle of the night?
[I'm from the Evergreen Base. I don't have any special abilities; I'm just an ordinary person. Our base leader is wonderful; she's very approachable and friendly. She's accepted ordinary people since the beginning of the apocalypse and has always stood by Shanran's side. She was among the first to respond to this meeting, so it couldn't be a disagreement. She's such a good person; even if she made a small mistake, it wouldn't be to the point of being arrested in the middle of the night!]
What about the heads of the other bases? Are they alright?
[I don't know. I'm just a nobody. I don't know what happened to the higher-ups. Besides, it's the middle of the night, and many people are asleep. I guess we won't have any news until tomorrow morning.]
My uncle's neighbor's cousin's aunt is one of the high-ranking officials from the base attending the meeting. I went to wake my uncle up so he could find out what was going on over there.
[Call center, call center, what's going on? Why are you treating the people at the Evergreen base like this? What happened to the heads of the other bases?]
The drawbacks of selecting leaders based on merit have become apparent; such individuals are destined to become dictators.
[Without any evidence, just a few pictures, he's been labeled a dictator?]
[It's as if the world, once dominated by the seven great families, wasn't led by dictators, and in fact, by seven dictators, each wanting to bleed the common people dry.]
Stop speculating and wait for the central district's response. Also, when will the people from the participating bases respond?
【........】
Chandler immediately discovered the anonymous post online. Ignoring the comments below, he followed the poster's address and eventually tracked him down to a residential building in the city center.
The other party's level is indeed high, but it's impossible for them to break through the defenses, post an ad, and then erase their traces in such a short time.
Having confirmed that the person was hiding in the building, the next step was to apprehend them.
Those held in solitary confinement appeared confused.
Some of them were very cooperative and described their entire day's activities in detail.
Some people are very impatient, feeling that the central district is going back on its word. They only agreed on the details of governing the mainland two days ago, and now they want to cause trouble.
Some people are timid and afraid that Shan Ran might want to vent her anger. They worry that they might have said something wrong or that their previous behavior had displeased her, so she wanted to hurt them.
Since Kunwu Yecheng was still unconscious, it was unclear what exactly had happened at the office building. All that was known was that assassins from aristocratic families had infiltrated the building, and it was unknown whether they intended to assassinate him or frame him.
Or perhaps there's some bigger conspiracy at play.
