Chapter 66 It's you again?
These speculations naturally reached Chu Bai's ears, so Chu Bai found the entrance to villa number 6606 based on the property registration information of the underground city of the base.
Lu An opened the door and, seeing Chu Bai, instinctively tried to close it.
She didn't know why she felt so resistant to Chu Bai. Maybe it was because he looked somewhat similar to her, or maybe it was because he was the "culprit" who caused Yu Miaomiao's mysterious death in her previous life.
Chu Bai reacted quickly and blocked the door. He was also surprised when he saw that it was Lu An.
"It's you again?"
He was somewhat impressed by how amazing this young girl was; not only did she safely drive a Unimog to the capital in the apocalypse, but she also moved into a villa.
He stared at Lu An's face, somewhat lost in thought. This appearance really felt like a more refined version of himself. He had some doubts after their last meeting, and this time he felt even more certain.
"Team Yitie, do you know? We're here on behalf of the base's underground city for a routine inquiry."
Chen Haohua couldn't see the struggle in their eyes and pushed the door open to go inside. Xu Nan saw Lu An standing at the door for a long time, as if talking to someone, so she skipped over to join in the fun. When she saw that it was two uncles in military uniforms, her face turned a little pale.
"Are you here to arrest me?"
Lu An was speechless. This was just too much to ask.
Helpless, she stepped aside to let Chu Bai and Chen Haohua in. Yu Miaomiao also came out of the bathroom at that moment. When she saw Chu Bai, she just wanted to turn around and run away.
"Are you all on the same team? Perfect, let's explain the situation together."
Chen Haohua stopped Yu Miaomiao from leaving.
So, the group sat facing each other at the broken marble dining table.
They looked at each other in silence.
Seeing that Chu Bai was still staring blankly at Lu An, Chen Haohua thought to himself: Is the captain interested in this type? But looking closely, the short-haired girl is also quite cute.
Seeing that Chu Bai still hadn't made a move, Chen Haohua quickly coughed and asked first, "You had a conflict with Yi Tie's team, right? Three days ago, someone saw Yi Tie's team follow you into the passage next to the Superpowered Person Mission Hall. What happened to you after that?"
The little girl hid in Yu Miaomiao's arms in fear. Her father had said before that bad children would be taken away. She had beaten those people to death. Would she be taken away too?
"Sister, are they coming to get me? I..." The little girl had been having nightmares these past few days. This was the first time she had experienced so much, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid.
Yu Miaomiao noticed that the little girl was a little scared, so she hugged her and gently comforted her: "Weiwei, we didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need to be afraid. If those people want to hurt us, we must protect ourselves, otherwise we will be the ones who die. These two uncles won't take you away, and your sister won't let them take you away either."
Chu Bai and Chen Haohua: You're the uncle, we're still young.
"Captain Chu, right? Let me explain." Lu An explained the whole story. "In short, they wanted to kill us, so we fought back. Captain Chu, we did this to protect ourselves."
"I think protecting myself doesn't violate any rules, right?"
Yu Miaomiao didn't expect this matter to come to her so quickly. The underground city base has rules against fighting within the base, but it doesn't say that self-defense is prohibited.
"There are no laws now, no one will hold you accountable." Chu Bai was direct. He wasn't there to ask if they had killed anyone, but rather about the strangeness surrounding Li Yi. "What I want to know is about that superhuman named Li Yi. You saw him three days ago, and he was still alive, right?"
"Of course, he also threatened to kill us."
Upon hearing that the matter wouldn't be pursued, Xu Nanwei instantly perked up and started answering questions again.
Yu Miaomiao nodded slightly, "Yes, not only have we seen him, but I think many people in the mission hall have seen him too. Every time he saw us, he would make things difficult for us. On that day in the mission hall, everyone saw him talking to us."
"By the way, I saw a creature outside the base before, a mutated vampire bat, which, like Li Yi, had this blackish-green blood. I wonder if they are related."
Yu Miaomiao conveyed her guesses to Chu Bai and the others, guiding their investigation in the hope of quickly clarifying the cause and effect of the matter and avoiding some unforeseen consequences as soon as possible.
They didn't know that there was still one member of the Yi Tie team alive. If they had known, there would have been no need to explain so much; Chu Bai could have just interrogated that member of the Yi Tie team himself.
After hearing some more information, Chu Bai and Chen Haohua took their leave. Chen Haohua instructed them not to spread the matter, and the three of them nodded in unison, not wanting to make a fool of themselves.
As Chu Bai was leaving, he asked Lu An out of the blue, "Which orphanage did you grow up in?"
Ningcheng Orphanage.
Lu An was puzzled as to why this person cared so much about him. Was it just an overflowing sense of sympathy?
At this moment, Yu Miaomiao had a guess in her heart. Looking at Lu An and Chu Bai's similar faces, she even wanted to exclaim that the two of them were siblings. However, since the two of them were too caught up in the situation, she couldn't say such an outrageous thing directly.
It's been so long since the apocalypse, who would believe that someone could meet their family thousands of miles away from Ningcheng?
Moreover, Lu An had grown up in an orphanage and had no memory of his own relatives. He had never mentioned having an older brother or anything like that, so Yu Miaomiao couldn't just blurt out her own guesses.
She could tell from Chu Bai's eyes that he had already made his judgment.
Let time tell; it will prove everything.
"Captain, if what they said is true, then this Li Yi is really suspicious. He died half a month ago, but he has been active all along. Other ability users have also confirmed this."
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
"yes."
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the base did not intend to pursue the matter at present. The base was investigating Li Yi's abnormality. Perhaps, Li Yi was not the only one with abnormality.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have investigated so secretly, or even pursued the issue of their murders.
Yu Miaomiao felt a chill when she thought of the thick, dark green blood flowing from Li Yi. If there were more mutants like Li Yi in the base, the base would soon be in chaos.
These mutants won't have the urge to drink blood in the short term, but the apocalypse has lasted so long, and mutants have existed for so long.
Over time, one or two abnormal individuals will inevitably emerge. Once there is one, more will follow. Imitation is a human instinct.
That would be a huge disaster for the completely enclosed underground city, which is unable to connect with the outside world.
She didn't know how this mutation occurred, but if there was another bloodthirsty mutant like this, it would endanger the lives of many people, and even put them in grave danger.
