Li Ke followed Cheng Chenwei to the underground entrance, next to which was a changing area. Cheng Chenwei took Li Ke over and motioned for her to choose a thickened thermal protective suit to put on.

"There is an ultra-low temperature laboratory underground. We must keep warm. Otherwise, we will die of hypothermia within three minutes at most." Cheng Chenwei explained.

Li Ke has already demonstrated her strength in front of Cheng Chenwei, and she doesn't want to hide it anymore. Since her body can last for nearly half a month at the bottom of the high-temperature mine, then she won't have any major problems at low temperatures.

Cheng Chenwei looked at Li Ke silently and could only take a set of protective clothing himself and asked if he could wear it?

Li Ke felt the other person's quickened heartbeat and just urged him to hurry up. A slight vibration had appeared in her chest long before. The spatial consciousness said that there was a big thing underneath, a light energy mine with considerable energy, which might help it recover faster.

The two walked into the elevator, Cheng Chenwei in front and Li Ke behind. The elevator door closed, and Cheng Chenwei used his fingerprint to open the button to the basement.

In the quiet space, Li Ke suddenly put his hand on Cheng Chenwei's shoulder and said in a slightly cold voice: "What are you thinking about?"

Cheng Chenwei's heartbeat almost stopped for a moment. He calmed his voice, relaxed himself and asked back, "Why would Ms. Li ask that? I'm just waiting for the elevator to stop."

Li Ke put down his hand, listened to Cheng Chenwei's heartbeat, hummed slightly, and said nothing more.

The elevator opened and Cheng Chenwei walked out. Li Ke slowed down by half a step. At this moment, something unexpected happened. Just as Li Ke was about to step out of the elevator, she felt something strange at the tip of her toes. She retracted her foot and reached out to grab Cheng Chenwei, who had not yet completely walked out of the elevator.

But the opponent's protective suit had already swelled up like an inflated suit. Li Ke's fingers only grasped a little bit of the slippery surface. The next second, a huge attraction quickly dragged Cheng Chenwei out of the elevator.

Li Ke felt a tingling electric shock in her fingers, and she immediately withdrew her hand. The elevator door quickly closed in front of her eyes, and she only saw Cheng Chenwei, who was sucked to the opposite wall, struggling to take off his protective suit.

Li Ke was standing in the elevator, and part of the tip of her shoe was burnt, which showed how powerful the electric current was. However, Cheng Chenwei was wearing protective clothing and did not seem to be greatly affected.

Some machine sliding sounds began to be heard around the elevator, followed by a few clicking sounds, and four metal fences suddenly lowered from the surroundings, and a fence top also appeared above the head. Obviously, a cage was being generated.

The fence was very dense, with a gap only wide enough for Li Ke to stretch out her palm. The material was also thick and strong. Before Li Ke had finished studying it, she felt the space beginning to reverse. She turned over and jumped, and the next moment, she was standing on the top of the elevator, which is now the bottom.

Then there was another sound of hinges, and Li Ke felt that the elevator space was being dragged and moved horizontally. It seemed that she was being transferred.

Without much anxiety in his heart, Li Ke stood quietly in the cage, wanting to see what Cheng Chenwei was going to do next.

After all the machine sounds stopped, the elevator room outside was also moved away, and a heavy metal cage was lowered from overhead, completely covering Li Ke. The double metal cage showed that Cheng Chenwei treated Li Ke very carefully.

The cage was placed in a pure white room. Li Ke could hear occasional painful groans coming from the next room, but the temperature outside was not as low as Cheng Chenwei had said before.

Based on the feeling of being moved just now and the new environment she was in, she believed that she should be on the underground floor.

There were very light footsteps outside the door, and a person in protective clothing walked in. His entire body, including his face, was covered, but Li Ke could hear the other person's violent heartbeat.

Li Ke stared at the other person for two seconds before he said, "Chen Zhizhi, what are you doing here?"

Chen Zhizhi's heart was beating fast because she was very scared. She didn't know why Dr. Cheng asked her to see Li Ke. She had already told him everything she knew.

Her life is very stable now, and she doesn't want to change the status quo at all. Looking at Li Ke in the cage, she hates her in her heart, but at the same time she also feels a little bit reluctant. No matter what, she has fallen into Dr. Cheng's hands, and her fate will not be good.

Although Chen Zhizhi has seen too much bloodshed over the years, she has not become cold-blooded. The more she is in such an environment, the more she misses the people and things in the past, whether they are good or bad.

After all, compared with the current apocalyptic survival, the previous trivial, bloodless conflicts and injuries are really not worth mentioning.

If Li Ke had not caused all these troubles, she would really be willing to help her stay and live a good life.

A prompt sound came from the headset. Chen Zhizhi asked according to the other party's request: "What about you? What are you doing here? Why did you kidnap Dr. Cheng?"

Li Ke listened to Chen Zhizhi's forced calm voice and said lightly: "Just curious."

When Chen Zhizhi heard Li Ke's nonchalant and indifferent answer, her anger suddenly increased.

"Are you curious why you didn't come here yourself? What did you want me to take you to? Do you know that you killed me? I have a child and I still want to live. You are so selfish!" Chen Zhizhi's questioning voice came from the protective suit, slightly distorted.

This should be Chen Zhizhi's own voice. Li Ke did not hear any instructions or orders to stop in her headset.

Li Ke ignored Chen Zhizhi's excitement and said calmly, "I just happened to meet you, so I took advantage of it. It's quite useful."

Chen Zhizhi gritted her teeth and said, "You deserve to die! Do you know that my son is still waiting for Dr. Cheng to perform surgery on him? I really want to kill you!"

Li Ke said expressionlessly: "If you just come here to talk nonsense, then you can leave."

Seeing Li Ke's stubborn expression, Chen Zhizhi calmed down and spoke again, "What do you want? Isn't it good to live a good life? Dr. Cheng admires your skills and wants to recruit you into his team. If you have any requests, feel free to ask."

Li Ke: "Go back and let the person who can really make the decision speak out. My patience is limited."

After saying that, Li Ke bent a metal railing in front of her in front of Chen Zhizhi. Chen Zhizhi looked at her movements and was so scared that she immediately took two steps back.

The door was opened again, and this time another person walked in. Li Ke listened to the other person's heartbeat and determined that the other person was He Ru. She was a little confused about what Cheng Chenwei was trying to do.

He Ru was also wearing protective clothing and stood with Chen Zhizhi. She was ordered by the voice in the earphone to pull Chen Zhizhi closer to the cage where Li Ke was imprisoned.

Chen Zhizhi was reluctant at first, but soon she obediently raised her feet and followed the lame He Ru all the way to Li Ke's cage before stopping.

He Ru sighed and asked Li Ke: "Ke Ke, where have you been all these years? How did you get here?"

Li Ke did not reply and continued to pull hard at the metal rod in front of her. This thing was indeed very strong. She used four-tenths of her strength to loosen it.

He Ru's heart beat faster as she watched Li Ke's actions. Her niece really didn't act like a normal person now. It was so scary.

But the headset ordered her to continue talking about something that the other party was interested in. He Ru had no choice but to continue: "Do you know how Meng Meng died?"

Li Ke stopped and looked at He Ru, who was also relieved. She continued, "After she died, Meng Meng lived like a living dead. Later, Wang Zhuo tried every means to harass her. After she killed Wang Zhuo, she was also injured. Not long after, she died. When she died, she mentioned your name, saying that she missed the happy times you two had together when you were little, and she regretted not being a good sister."

Li Ke listened to He Ru's words and asked with great pain: "You chose Wang Zhuo as your son-in-law, right? Why did Li Meng want to kill him? Because he is a terrible person, right? In the final analysis, it was you who killed your daughter, and you are the one who deserves to die the most.

Don't think that because you are old, I will forget what you said and did in the past. You are mentioning Li Meng in front of me now, trying to impress me, and I just feel disgusted when I hear it."

Li Ke couldn't see what He Ru's expression was, but on the other end of the headset, four or five people gathered together, watching the changes in the lines on the monitor, all of them silent.

After a while, someone spoke in a dazed voice, "Is this woman a human or a monster? How come we can't detect any heartbeat fluctuations from her?"

The colleague next to him frowned and asked, "Could there be something wrong with the equipment in the protective suit?"

Someone soon refuted this possibility: "No, at the beginning, Chen Zhizhi was alone, and only her heartbeat fluctuated. Later, when He Ru came in, both of their heartbeats were fine, only Li Ke's was completely undetectable."
