Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Second-rate Imitation ( 2 )

Before Feng Xiu could reply, Rong Qinyu said, “The one who assassinated Ah Xiu was sent by an Organization. He is an ability-user with a mutated ability, also known as the shape-shifter.”

“How did you know about him?” Xun Che asked.

“When I was investigating a missing person case a year ago, I was attacked and kidnapped by an organization named The Light of Dawn. I was locked up and witnessed an experiment in a secret laboratory. That man’s ability was the result of that experiment,” Rong Qinyu replied.

The moment he said this, not only Xun Che and Wen Hanli but even Feng Xiu was surprised. She turned to her boyfriend, worried clear in her eyes, and asked, “Qinyu, what did they do to you?”

Holding her hand, Rong Qinyu smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I escaped before they could use me as an experimental subject.”

Hearing this, Feng Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “As long as you are okay.”

While she was relieved, Xun Che understood the seriousness of this matter. He stared at Rong Qinyu and asked, “Why are you telling us about this organization?”

“Commander Xun, even though we don’t know each other well, I have long heard about you. Besides your good reputation, I chose to trust you because the Phantom Team trusts you.”

“That simple?” Xun Che didn’t believe his words at all.

Seeing his disbelief, Rong Qinyu smiled and added, “I already told you the truth. Whether you believe it or not is your business.”

After he said this, he took out a small box from his backpack and placed it on the table. “I got this item from the laboratory. I hope you can let us stay in this base for a while. My girlfriend still needs to recuperate.”

Wen Hanli took the box and opened it. The moment he saw the blue liquid inside the glass vial, he frowned and showed it to Xun Che.

“Comrade Rong, what is this?” he asked.

“I believe Vice Commander Wen has heard of the Elixir of Immortality.”

As soon as he said this, Xun Che narrowed his eyes. “You know about the Elixir of Immortality?”

Rong Qinyu nodded and replied, “Even if I don’t know much about it, I know that the elixir is one of the products made by the Organization. Due to the limited main ingredient, they can no longer produce it.”

“This vial contains a solution similar to the Elixir of Immortality. While it has similar functions, there are several side effects. So, you can say this is a second-rate imitation of the Elixir of Immortality.”

“What are the side effects?” Wen Hanli asked.

Before answering, Rong Qinyu glanced at his girlfriend for a moment before replying, “Besides losing part of one’s memories, the person injected with this solution will experience mood swings, an inability to control their ability as before, and increased bloodthirst during the first year.”

“Is there a way to fix the side effects?” Xun Che asked.

Shaking his head, Rong Qinyu said, “There is no way to fix the damage on the body after being injected with the solution. But as long as the person stops using their ability and avoids killing until the side effects fade, there should be no problem.”

Xun Che lowered his gaze and fell silent. Just now, he had noticed Rong Qinyu’s gaze toward Feng Xiu. Even if it was only for a moment, he caught the worry in his eyes.

He was sure Feng Xiu had died from her severe injuries. His spies wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake. But her sitting here and talking to him was also a fact.

By connecting the information and Rong Qinyu’s gaze, he was sure that Feng Xiu had been injected with the solution. If that was the case, then it wasn’t impossible for him to arrange for them to stay in his base.

Compared to her capabilities as a combatant, Feng Xiu was best at gathering information and training the soldiers. If she could work for his base, along with Rong Qinyu, it would be a good deal.

After considering the pros and cons, Xun Che finally said, “Comrade Rong, even if what you said is true, how can you prove you are not the shape-shifter?”

Rong Qinyu already knew it wouldn’t be easy for Xun Che to trust him. He smiled and replied, “Commander Xun, there is no way for me to prove that I’m not the shape-shifter.”

“After all, the Organization intentionally used him to impersonate me and infiltrate Yunshan Base. They already gathered all the information about me and even observed me for a long time to make sure that no one could differentiate us.”

“But if you are feeling uneasy, you can send your people to keep an eye on me. I won’t object, even if you follow me twenty-four hours every day,” he added meaningfully.

The moment he said this, Wen Hanli almost choked on his saliva. This man clearly knew that Xun Che still had lingering feelings for Feng Xiu.

Telling the ex-boyfriend to follow the current boyfriend every day. Was he trying to feed the Commander with dog food and anger him to death?

Xun Che’s face darkened at his words. He clenched his jaw and said through gritted teeth, “Until you are free of suspicion, you will be under the base’s surveillance.”

After saying this, he turned to Wen Hanli and said, “Old Wen, arrange a job and residence for them.”

“Understood.”

Taking the order, Wen Hanli stood up and gestured for them to follow him. After they left, Xun Che closed the box and went to the laboratory.

Without Mo Junjie’s help, the process of researching the ingredients of the Elixir of Immortality was slow. He hoped that with the addition of this blue liquid, he could obtain results faster.

At the same time, Da Xiong and Xiao Xiong were having a hearty meal in the cafeteria.

At first, they planned to hug Rong Qinyu’s golden thigh and follow him. But after they came to this base and read the rules and regulations, they no longer wanted to follow him.
