    Chapter 84

    “Wuwuwu.” Chen Su, kicked to the ground by He Linglong, had been tied up securely. Clearly, in the game of wits in the corridor, Chen Su had ultimately lost to He Linglong, who had gained the upper hand.

    After subduing Chen Su, He Linglong dragged him to a laboratory in the middle, robbing him of all his useful equipment like a thief. She was now holding Chen Su’s rifle in one hand and studying the laboratory layout map with a frown in the other. She had also gleaned from Chen Su the purpose of their group’s presence here and understood why they were so determined to go deep into the fourth and fifth floors to place explosives—because only the research content on the fourth and fifth floors and all the research data within were the core secrets that Longtai Group did not want anyone to know, and the most effective evidence that could directly expose their crimes against humanity.

    But as an employee of this research institute, after seeing this rough layout map, she understood that she should not have come to meddle in this muddy water. Such heavyweight secrets were not something she could casually get involved in. For He Linglong, finding evidence and protecting existing documentary evidence was only to help Yao Jinglin file a case.

    But now, based on all the information she knew, she probably already knew what the research content on the fourth and fifth floors was. Let alone that she was severely under-equipped now, even if she was fully armed at this moment, after learning most of the truth, she would not choose to set foot in the research areas on the fourth and fifth floors.

    Some things do require some crusaders to do, but He Linglong did not consider herself the kind of loyal and righteous person who could accept the arrangement of sacrificing oneself for public service without batting an eye, not to mention that her current identity could only be considered an ordinary righteous citizen, so she decided that all interference should end here. Although she had snatched the identification cards that could be used to go deep into the fourth and fifth floors, she threw those cards at Chen Su’s feet, and then left without looking back.

    In fact, many times, although there is a distinction between right and wrong, black and white in the world, ordinary people must remember not to live too clearly if they want to live to be a hundred years old. Everyone knows that being too inflexible is easy to break, but they must not know that beauty and goodness that are too pure cannot last long in this turbid world.

    Therefore, He Linglong never flaunts herself as a good person, and when faced with truly evil people, she will not choose to forgive them unconditionally just because of their two disguised apologies. She has never placed herself on the moral high ground, so she will not demand that she must have the world in her heart. As for the great consequences of the life and death of mankind, it is not something she alone can control and decide.

    So, she simply didn’t care.

    Walking out of the first floor of the research institute, she pressed the detonator in her hand. In an instant, a deafening roar spread throughout half of Qingshui City like the footsteps of an ancient beast.

    Although she did not go deep into the fourth and fifth floors, she chose to place explosives in the research rooms on the first and second floors underground, completely destroying the entrance and exit of the research institute without damaging the fourth and fifth floors. As for the subsequent evidence excavation and possible crises, it was not a problem she needed to worry about. Anyway, the official archaeological team can carefully excavate even those vast and deep ancient tombs, so this should be even easier. So, He Linglong turned her back to the blown-up research institute, threw away the detonator in her hand with a flourish, and left.

    As for the mercenaries who were still underground, they were directly buried alive by He Linglong’s decision.

    Because He Linglong’s purpose was not to release anything more dangerous, and to try to preserve the evidence below as much as possible, the life and death of the mercenaries was directly selectively ignored by He Linglong.

    “I have to go find Lu Ziming. She saved my life. Even if she can’t control herself and wants to bite me to death, I won’t have a single complaint. I’ll just give this life back to her.” Zhou Yuanyuan, who was stopped by Jiang Juncheng, grabbed her backpack straps and clenched the weapon Lu Ziming had made earlier in her hand. After a sleepless night of thinking, Zhou Yuanyuan still decided to leave here to find Lu Ziming. Although Jiang Juncheng’s home was temporarily safe, for Zhou Yuanyuan, who was now alone, no place was as reassuring as being by Lu Ziming’s side. After all, Lu Ziming had saved Zhou Yuanyuan several times, and she had become accustomed to her presence.

    “I know, so this time I plan to go with you, just as if I’m deliberately escorting you to your destination for a breath of fresh air, how about it?” Jiang Juncheng walked back, put on her prepared backpack, and stuffed some ammunition in the two pockets of her clothes.

    In fact, she was just curious about that research institute, so she wanted to join in the fun.

    Previously, Lu Ziming and Zhou Yuanyuan had discussed that the research institute might still have inhibitors or serums to deal with the virus. If they found those, the two of them might be able to return to normal. Therefore, the conclusion Zhou Yuanyuan and Jiang Juncheng reached after discussion was that Lu Ziming should go to the research institute, so they only needed to go to the research institute, and maybe they could run into her on the way or at the research institute. After deciding on the destination, Jiang Juncheng took a lot of weapons and set off with Zhou Yuanyuan.

    Of course, the two were afraid of encountering danger on the way, so Jiang Juncheng had already taught Zhou Yuanyuan how to use the weapons. She would ride the bike, and Zhou Yuanyuan would be responsible for guarding the surroundings and covering her driving route.

    The two did encounter some scattered zombies along the way, but they did not encounter groups of zombies, because the bike was moving relatively fast, so usually after Zhou Yuanyuan shot and killed the zombies that approached, the two had already driven away from that area. By the time the zombies heard the sound and gathered towards that area, they usually could only find nothing.

    Just as the two were riding near the research institute, suddenly, a roar like thunder came from the direction of the research institute.

    Jiang Juncheng was startled and subconsciously braked urgently. Zhou Yuanyuan, who was sitting in the back, crashed into her back unprepared, and was immediately hit with stars in her eyes and a sore nose.

    “W-what’s wrong?” Zhou Yuanyuan covered her nose, tears were knocked out of her eyes, and she asked with a wronged face, confused.

    “That’s not good, the roar just now came from the research institute. Lu Ziming… she wouldn’t be in trouble, would she?” Jiang Juncheng tilted her head slightly, frowned, and said to Zhou Yuanyuan with a worried look.

    “Quick! Go quickly!! We have to go see what’s going on!!” Zhou Yuanyuan then realized what Jiang Juncheng was worried about, and hurriedly patted her shoulder.
