Chapter 206: I Want the Data
Likely having received the signal, Ji Yanmo’s people quickly arrived at the laboratory.
When Ling Hanmu investigated Ji Yanmo, he also sent information about the friends around him to Xia Chenge.
Therefore, Xia Chenge recognized the identities of the three people who entered.
As the boy named Yu Sen entered, he widened his eyes: “Holy crap, did I transmigrate into a sci-fi movie?”
“Human experiments… this Imperial Palace is hiding such a huge secret!” Wen Ruihang, the other one, gasped, and couldn’t bear to look away, unwilling to see the people being used for experiments anymore.
“Are these even humans?” Yu Sen cursed angrily, “Holy crap, it can’t get worse than this human purgatory, right? These people…”
“Zheng Changdong’s underground laboratory has been around for over twenty years. What experiments he has successfully conducted is temporarily unknown,” Ji Yanmo calmly explained the situation. “However, I can confirm that he has mastered how to hypnotize people.”
Wen Ruihang and Yu Sen exchanged a look and asked in unison: “How do you know?”
“Lu Lian and Uncle,” Ji Yanmo said indifferently.
As soon as he said this, not only Wen Ruihang and the other two were stunned, but Ji Wenbo was also shocked.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chenge was also a little surprised. It turned out that Ji Yanmo had obtained more information than she thought he knew.
Twenty years… so Zheng Changdong’s laboratory has existed for longer than Ling Zhongwen’s laboratory?
However, the virus Zheng Changdong used on these people was not the zombie virus. This meant that the early appearance of the zombie virus was indeed due to Ling Hanmu’s rebirth, and that Ling Hanmu had brought back the zombie virus from the apocalypse.
Xia Chenge’s heart settled a lot. As long as the zombie virus wasn’t being manufactured on a large scale, it wasn’t a problem.
After all, the situation was still within controllable limits.
“What did you say?” Ji Wenbo’s eyes darkened.
“Uncle was never that extreme. Didn’t Father notice that Uncle became completely different after that woman died?” Ji Yanmo retorted. “And Lu Lian has been hypnotized since he entered the Lu Family, and it has only gotten worse over the years. Zheng Changdong is very smart; after Lu Lian got older, he had Uncle hypnotize Lu Lian again.”
“Is Zheng Changdong trying to reach for the sky or live forever like Qin Shi Huang and become an emperor?” Yu Sen murmured, “Is this world too mad? Or did I wake up in the wrong way this morning?”
Wen Ruihang slapped Yu Sen hard. “Can’t you be serious at a time like this?”
“I’m already creeped out. These things are exciting in movies, but aren’t they terrifying when they happen in reality?” Yu Sen retorted. “Listening to A’Mo say this, I don’t even know if the people around me have been experimented on!”
“No, Zheng Changdong wouldn’t dare to act against so many prominent families!” Ji Yanmo said. “As far as we know, Zheng Changdong has only acted against the Ji Family and the Lu Family. The Ji Family was deliberate, while for the Lu Family, Zheng Changdong probably saw their potential.”
“Damn this son of a bitch! If this bastard gets elected again in this election, I’ll take his surname!” Yu Sen said angrily.
Well said! Xia Chenge gave Yu Sen a thumbs-up. He should be this passionate and tough. If such a President were to be re-elected, it would be like using the citizens of Country H as sacrifices for his ambition.
Wen Ruihang gave a cold smile: “He won’t have the chance, and he’s as good as dead.”
Li Meng, who had been silent all along, walked around the laboratory, observed all the experimental subjects, and then said with a grave expression: “I’m afraid many people here won’t survive.”
“Is it serious?” Ji Wenbo looked at Li Meng.
Li Meng nodded: “They are all kept alive in liquid like plants. If they leave, they won’t be able to survive.”
Yu Sen frowned: “Then what should we do?”
“Is there no other way?” Wen Ruihang also asked.
Li Meng sighed: “We can only do our best, but I can’t guarantee it.”
Hearing Li Meng say this, Xia Chenge, who had been watching from a corner for a long time, felt it was time for her to appear.
Ji Yanmo and the others already had sufficient countermeasures. She believed they could handle the Zheng Changdong laboratory incident well. If they couldn’t save the remaining people, she would save them.
Anyway, as long as it wasn’t an infection with the zombie virus, it wasn’t a problem for her!
With that thought, Xia Chenge leaped out, landing on an instrument behind them, casually swinging her slender legs. “I have a way to keep them alive, but the prerequisite is that you give me a copy of the data you have.”
Everyone in the laboratory turned their heads at the sound. Ji Yanmo’s expression sharpened, and he looked at her vigilantly.
Xia Chenge was unfazed. At this moment, her figure and appearance had changed, making her look like a pure and harmless thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. They wouldn’t do anything to her.
Moreover, she was confident enough to make them trust her.
“Holy crap, what a cute little loli!” Yu Sen exclaimed after snapping back to reality.
However, the suspicion on Ji Yanmo’s face clearly indicated that he thought she was also one of Zheng Changdong’s experimental subjects.
Caution is a good thing! Xia Chenge wasn’t angry because of Ji Yanmo’s suspicion.
“Hey, I’m already seventeen, okay? Not a loli!” Xia Chenge covered her face, then leaped down from the tall instrument in front of everyone.
Yu Sen and Wen Ruihang couldn’t help but exclaim and rushed forward to catch her.
Xia Chenge stood steadily in front of them.
“I want to speak with you alone,” Xia Chenge said to Ji Yanmo, her gaze sharp.
“Just say what you need to say,” Li Meng said.
Ji Yanmo’s scrutinizing gaze pressed down on Xia Chenge. Xia Chenge met his gaze, showing no intention of backing down.
“You all go out first,” Ji Yanmo finally said, gesturing for everyone to leave.
The four looked at each other, then one by one, they left.
“You can just go out. The door isn’t locked, and no one will come in,” Xia Chenge reminded them.
After everyone had left, Xia Chenge looked at Ji Yanmo again and said, “I know you’re very confused about why I’m here. You don’t need to worry, I won’t do anything against you. On the contrary, I’m also here for this laboratory. I can let everyone here leave alive, provided I get the data you have.”
“Are you sure I’ll give it to you?” Ji Yanmo asked indifferently. “I don’t even know who you are.”
“My name is Xia Chenge, from Haicheng, Country A,” Xia Chenge truthfully revealed her identity. Since they were all here to destroy the laboratory, they were on the same side, and there was no need to hide it. She said seriously, “And you are Ji Yanmo, the sole heir of the renowned Ji Group in Country H.”
After a pause, Xia Chenge suddenly leaned closer to Ji Yanmo. Ji Yanmo instinctively wanted to step back and maintain distance.
However, Xia Chenge unexpectedly grabbed his collar, and before Ji Yanmo could react, Xia Chenge whispered a few words rapidly in his ear.
