In Geng Yan's living room, the entire group had gathered together.
"According to our plan, Chen Xiaohui should have been arrested by now because of the conclusive evidence." Gao Xun scratched his head. "But the various things that happened today had all exceeded our control, whether it was the direction the rumors developed in or how everything finally played out."
"I knew that Chen Xiaohui had some grudges against you guys, so I was already very suspicious when he suddenly went to the warehouse for no reason. At that time, I already went to get the surveillance video and found that he had switched the serum."
Feng Yu’s brow was locked in a frown. "I originally hoped to play this out with you guys, use his own plan against him... I'm very positive that Chen Xiaohui wouldn't have had the chance to delete the monitoring video."
"Although Chen Xiaohui can’t be considered to be very clever, he wouldn’t take the risks while knowing there is monitoring, right? Did that surveillance really capture any evidence?" Ji Anran had some worries.
Geng Yan stretched over his hand, wrapping it around Ji Anran's little hand.
"It’s okay. Even if there’s no evidence, I can still find ways to deal with him in the future. This grievance, I'll settle it for you sooner or later."
Ji Anran laughed.
We’re still talking about serious business here, can you not flirt and tease right now?
Feng Yu felt as if his eyes were going to be blinded [by these two] and softly coughed, then said, "I've seen the surveillance. Chen Xiaohui should have observed the position of the camera ahead of time and so deliberately used his body to block his actions. However, he probably hadn’t expected that the person sending me the serum would put it into a safe. Although Chen Xiaohui's hand hadn’t been captured, one could see that the safe had been opened then closed again."
"He’s probably hating his old mother why she didn’t give birth to a more robust body for him, one enough to completely block the safe." Ji Anran couldn't help joking.
Feng Yu saw that Wei Yanhua’s cup was empty and picked up the teapot to refill it for the other.
"Actually, when I watched the monitoring that day, I had backed up a copy. I surmise that the one who deleted the video is the Vice Dean. It was only because I wanted to follow the vine to the melon and see if I could use this opportunity to pull him down that I didn’t mention it."
"These internal struggles in your research institute are quite fierce." The corner of Ji Anran’s mouth twitched.
Feng Yu faintly smiled. "Have you ever heard of human experiments?"
The law enforcement team continued to investigate but haven’t found any worthwhile clues.
They only had evidence of Chen Xiaohui spreading the rumors. As for evidence on either Chen Xiaohui or Feng Yu creating the zombie virus toxin, there was none at all... If Chen Xiaohui doesn't make any changes to his statement, at the end, he will be convicted and sentenced for disseminating rumors.
Inside the prison, Chen Xiaohui stared at the white walls as his eyes darkened at a loss.
The road ahead was in a haze, he didn't even know how to continue on anymore.
He had obviously already survived to this day using the advantages from having been reborn, his life shouldn’t end just like this, he will definitely be able to escape - recover - from this predicament...
"Chen Xiaohui, there’s someone here to see you."
A person from the law enforcement team said this and brought the vice dean in.
Chen Xiaohui was overjoyed. "You came!"
"Xiaohui, you’ve truly let me down. Feng Yu is a good person, how could you slander him? Forget it, sooner or later you’ll pay for your crime of slandering others. Fortunately, you just have a bad mouth and didn’t really do something like create the zombie virus toxin. Otherwise, your life would also be lost here."
The vice dean shook his head and left.
Having received the hint, Chen Xiaohui gritted his teeth with hatred.
You, terrible old thing, you won’t have an easy death!
Not long after, Feng Yu again visited their door.
"Because of insufficient evidence, Chen Xiaohui will only be sentenced to disseminating rumors and fined 200 crystal nuclei. However, this punishment is too light, so the base leadership also isn’t very satisfied. But if they killed him because of spreading rumors, it would also be a bit too heavy."
With his cheek propped up with one hand, Geng Yan pondered, "But it's also impractical to expel him from the base. After all, Chen Xiaohui was a member of the Research Institute. If he takes the results from our base and runs to seek asylum with the other bases, our loss would exceed the gains."
"Really such a headache. Still, those rumors that Chen Xiaohui created had sent a scare to everyone in the base, affecting both the security and social stability of the base. Obviously, the zombie tide is already almost at our door steps, doing such a thing now, isn’t he sending the troops’ morale into disorder..."
Ji Anran super light and nonchalantly assigned such a serious crime upon Chen Xiaohui’s head. "How about... a public flogging?"
Feng Yu: "...Good idea."
It's just too ruthless.
At this moment, Feng Yu found that he could no longer properly look this seemingly delicate and weak young man in the eye anymore.
Time quickly flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the zombie tide’s arrival.
Before Ji Anran had the chance to see if his suggestion had been adopted, the base was about to meet the frightening wave of zombies.
Although the base had previously already sent out several teams to carry out guerrilla warfare and annihilated thousands of zombies, it was still just an utterly inadequate measure when compared with the greatness of the zombie army.
"Everyone on immediate alert, head up to the city wall according to the instructions to fight against the zombie tide!"
What was fortunate was, the zombie army was mostly first-order zombies and zombies with abilities were still in the minority.
Most of the ability users inside the base would be attacking in fixed places from atop the city wall.
Meanwhile, relatively powerful teams of ability users like Geng Yan’s group would consistently float around as established by the base. Wherever there appears a zombie with a strong ability, they would run over and fight there.
Zombies didn’t know the meaning of exhaustion, so they wouldn’t leave themselves until their entire group got completely annihilated.
However, people were different, people required time to rest.
The base had finished organizing the schedule a long time ago, and everyone had been arranged opportunities to get rest.
Geng Yan's team fought all the way until sunset before it was their chance to rest.
Ji Anran had long been exhausted and was almost paralyzed from it. He followed Geng Yan back to the residence.
But as soon as he opened the door, Ji Anran was stunned in place.
A few seconds later, a roar of something [mindframe] collapsing inside came from Ji Anran's mouth. "Where's my bed?!"
