Seeing the man's expression, Lin Cheng understood the other's concerns in a flash of his mind. He couldn't help but chuckle. Then he gently passed the long sword forward in his hand and cut the man's neck with a shallow blood mark!
"I should have said it just now, right? As long as you cooperate with me, I will not hurt you easily, but you don't seem to take my words seriously?"
Seeing the panic on the young man's face, Lin Cheng stopped his gesture in time before the long sword was about to cut a bigger wound on his neck, and then said coldly.
"Please... please don't hurt me! I promise to tell you everything you want to ask!"
Feeling the slightest bit of pain coming from his neck, the young man didn't dare to touch it with his hands, let alone scream. Although he couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, he was not a fool. He could easily tell from the other person's expression.
It can be seen from his actions and remarks that this young man who has been extremely casual from the beginning is definitely a tough guy!
"snort!"
Seeing that this guy still knew the current affairs, Lin Cheng snorted coldly, and then put the long sword back, "From now on, I ask, you answer, if you don't want to die, don't say any unnecessary nonsense, do you understand?!"
"I understand, I understand! You asked!"
Hearing Lin Cheng's threat, the young man nodded like he was pounding garlic, "I understand, I understand! You ask!"
"First tell me how many people there are in your research institute and how many armed forces you have."
After thinking for a while, Lin Cheng decided to find out the defense situation of this base first. After all, he had already come here. If he wanted to find enough evidence, he would have to deal with these guards and the like.
"It...it's actually not much, really! In the final analysis, our place is just an underground research institute. Apart from the necessary researchers, I remember that there are only two teams of guards, with a total of about twenty people..."
Seeing Lin Cheng coming up and asking about the institute's guards, the young man was shocked. He felt that the guy in front of him seemed to have a big agenda, but he could only answer honestly.
"About twenty people..."
After hearing the man's answer, Lin Cheng held his chin in thought and then asked: "What about the ability users? How many ability users are there in your research institute, and what are their ranks?"
"Those who can……"
Hearing this, the man looked a little hesitant. After all, if he told the other party all this information, he would have no trump cards at all.
Seeing the man's expression, Lin Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he immediately grabbed his neck with his right hand, pinching him until his face turned red!
"I don't have time to hang around with you here. If you don't want to die, just tell me quickly!"
Holding the man's neck tightly, Lin Cheng listened to the movement outside the door. After seeing that there was no change, he shouted to him in a low voice!
"Two...twenty people! There are twenty people with abilities! Most of them are in the third level. The guard captain is a fourth-level sonic ability user!"
Feeling that he could hardly breathe at all, the man no longer dared to play any tricks and quickly revealed all the information at once.
"snort!"
Seeing that this guy finally confessed, Lin Cheng snorted coldly before letting go of his neck, "Next question, in addition to these ability user guards, how many researchers are there in this institute?"
"Sixty-seven..."
After being severely punished by Lin Cheng, the young man no longer dared to take any chances and answered honestly.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "So, the total number of people in your research institute totals eighty-seven, right?"
"That's right..."
Nodding slightly, the young man smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what you are going to do here, but this is just an underground research institute, and the supplies are barely enough for us people to starve to death. If you want to come here,
If you are looking for supplies, I can only say that you have come to the wrong place..."
"Who told you that I came here to look for supplies?"
Hearing the man's words, Lin Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "Let me ask you, is there a researcher named Chen Jiajie in your research institute?"
"Chen Jiajie?"
Hearing this, the man looked confused, "No, right? At least I haven't heard of a colleague named Chen Jiajie since I came to work in this institute. You...you're not looking in the wrong place, are you?"
While the man was answering, Lin Cheng stared closely at the other man's expression. After the other man finished speaking, he suddenly started to murmur in his heart, because in his observation just now, he found that the other man did not seem to be lying, which made him feel a little bit.
Confused, what went wrong?
After thinking about it, Lin Cheng suddenly asked: "About when did you go to work in this research institute?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, the man frowned and thought for a moment, and then replied: "I remember it was half a month before the end of the world, right? Oh, by the way, in fact, almost all the researchers in this base reported here at that time. Our supervisor told
We said that before we came here, there was an accident at this institute, and many old researchers were sent to work elsewhere..."
"Is this happening?"
After hearing the man's explanation, Lin Cheng's eyebrows immediately furrowed, because according to the information he got from Lin Youwei, half a month before the end of the world was the time when Chen Jiajie went to Yannan University to 'tip off the news'!
Combined with the information the man told him, Lin Cheng instantly understood that after Chen Jiajie exposed the secret information, all the staff of the research institute where he worked were secretly dismissed immediately!
"Oh shit!"
Realizing that he had missed the point, Lin Cheng couldn't help but cursed inwardly. These senior officials were too cautious. Even if Chen Jiajie didn't reveal too much shocking information, they still attached great importance to this matter and even did not hesitate to put the entire research institute at risk.
The senior researchers were dismissed. You can imagine how important the secrets they held at that time were!
After slandering those senior executives in his mind for a long time, Lin Cheng sighed softly, and then asked the man: "Then what are you researching now? Even if the previous group of researchers are no longer here, since this research institute can
Moving above ground to underground, the research must be quite complicated, right?"
"Well……"
Hearing this, the man was slightly startled, and then replied: "I don't know what you mean by not being simple, but since we came to this research institute, we have been studying the physiological structure of zombies and gnawers. This is also
The fundamental reason why we, the powerless researchers in the apocalypse, can survive till now..."
Hearing the man's words, Lin Cheng nodded slightly, "Since you have been studying for so long, have you made any extraordinary discoveries?" (To be continued)
