stop fighting

Lu Ze arrived at the agreed meeting place first. Although it was still early, he was still a little uneasy and stared anxiously at the direction Ling Qian should come from.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a familiar figure finally appeared at the end of the alley on the other side.

Lu Ze stepped forward impatiently, and after confirming that the man was fine and uninjured, he breathed a sigh of relief: "How is it?"

Ling Qian's face was a little pale. He seemed to realize where he was after hearing Lu Ze's voice. He shook his head.

There was no unexpected expression on Lu Ze's face, he just sighed: "I knew it, but I was careless. You didn't meet anyone else, did you?"

Ling Qian looked at him for a while, then said after considering, "Actually... I didn't see the corpse with my own eyes."

Lu Ze raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to continue.

"I... met Blanche."

Lu Ze narrowed his eyes: "Blanche? A survivor from that research institute in the old city?"

Ling Qian nodded: "Now it is almost certain that the outbreak of the virus in the base has something to do with them."

"He came alone?"

"At least I only saw him just now."

Lu Ze frowned: "According to the current situation, they can enter the base ostentatiously, and just show up in front of you, which means that they must have cards in their hands that we don't know about. It's too dangerous for you to do this."

Ling Qian smiled reassuringly: "It's nothing, he and the people behind him dare not touch me yet."

Lu Ze looked at him carefully for a few seconds, then asked, "Did he say something else to you?"

Ling Qian was caught off guard by the question, and was silent for a second before slowly opening his mouth: "Indeed... there are some things."

Lu Ze looked at him for a while: "Is it convenient to say?"

Ling Qian sighed: "It's not inconvenient to say, but I haven't figured out how to tell you. What's the progress on your side?"

Lu Ze paused for a few seconds before opening his mouth: "It's nothing, the old man is old and cunning, it's rare for him to speak his mind this time, he told us to leave here."

Ling Qian was taken aback: "Leave?"

Lu Ze's expression was serious: "Yes, it's not just about leaving the residential area or the black market."

Ling Qian's eyes flashed: "If this is the case...it makes sense."

Lu Ze raised his eyes: "How to say?"

"Blanche said they had a 'gift' for us."

"It seems that not only the outbreak of the virus, but also the actions of the upper echelons of the base are under their control." Lu Ze's eyes were cold: "Staying here will not lead to any results, let's go back to the training base , I will report to General Shen to see what to do next."

Ling Qian let out a "hmm", followed him and walked a few steps forward, suddenly seemed to remember something, and called him, "Lu Ze."

Lu Ze turned his head and looked at him inquiringly.

The expression on Ling Qian's face was rarely hesitant and apologetic: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there are some things, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I might not believe it myself. I will tell you what you want to know , I will tell you the whole story of my experience in the old city, maybe not now, but I will tell you."

Lu Ze stared at him for two seconds, sighed, strode up to him, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "You, you just think too much. Don't worry."

After the two left the residential area, Ling Qian asked Lu Ze to take him to the research institute. Coincidentally, he just got off the back seat of Lu Ze's motorcycle and met Tang Qing who was coming back from dinner.

Because Lu Ze was in a hurry to go back to the training base, he hurriedly said hello to Tang Qing and left.

Tang Qing looked Ling Qian up and down, and the smile on her face became ambiguous: "Hey, it's going well?"

Ling Qian's ears were a little red, but he didn't answer.

Tang Qing patted him on the shoulder: "But why did you come here suddenly? I heard from General Shen that Lu Ze asked you to cooperate in a mission. Is it over?"

Ling Qian said vaguely: "That's right. Sister, I came here today to borrow a laboratory."

Tang Qing was a little surprised: "You are also a member of the research center now. If you want to use the laboratory to make a report directly, you don't need to tell me specifically?"

Ling Qian shook his head: "It's not an ordinary laboratory, I need your permission."

Tang Qing looked at his expression and slowly became serious: "Which laser laboratory do you want to use?"

Ling Qian nodded.

Tang Qing pondered for a second: "Okay, I'll give you permission when I get back."

Ling Qian was a little surprised: "Senior sister, why don't you ask me what I want to do?"

Tang Qing smiled and patted him on the head: "You and I don't understand yet, let's go."

After Lu Ze left the research institute, he went back to the training base directly. Shen Jianfeng had just returned to the office after eating, and bumped into Lu Ze coming head-on. The surprise on his face flashed, and he slowly walked over with his hands behind his back: "You're back?"

Lu Ze stood at attention and saluted.

General Shen turned his head towards the office: "Go in and talk."

Lu Ze briefly talked about what they had gained in the past two days. General Shen didn't speak immediately after listening. He leaned back in the chair, with no special expression on his face, and said after a long while: "You What do you think?"

"I think the black market may have fallen." Lu Ze's voice was very slow.

General Shen's face became serious: "Lu Ze, do you know what you are talking about?"

A wry smile appeared on Lu Ze's face: "This is the worst guess. First, the informants who still have contact with us are all missing or lost contact. I think they have been controlled by the other party with a high probability. Secondly, combined with Master Shu Regarding the 'leave' and what the surviving researcher of the original Old City Research Institute said to Ling Qian, I believe that the other party has a high probability of staying behind. I have a guess."

"Say."

"The previous attack in the hospital was probably not an accident. Judging from what we have been in contact with in the residential area in the past two days, they are actually quite capable of hiding the infected body. So many residents are mixed together. It is impossible for us to conduct door-to-door investigations within a short period of time. The infected body that was first discovered may have been deliberately released by them to test our emergency response speed, and also to test the current scientific research capabilities of the base research institute."

General Shen didn't speak.

Lu Ze paused, and continued: "Judging from the situation of the four infected bodies that attacked me and Ling Qian, they are all very low-level living corpses, no matter in terms of reaction speed or physical strength, they are just outside the base with us. The ones we encountered during the mission were no different, even the physique was not as good as those outside. If the other party wanted to kill us, they would have underestimated us too much. If it was just for the purpose of warning or testing, then to some extent they had already obtained the desired result.

"It's obvious that outsiders have been mixed into the base now, not only the source of the virus infection, but also people like Blanche...General, I don't know if you have suspected that there are traitors here?"

Lu Ze's voice became softer after speaking, but his eyes were fixed on the old general.

Shen Jianfeng's expression sharpened suddenly. He looked at Lu Ze and said meaningfully: "Do you know who you are suspecting?"

Lu Ze let out a sigh of relief: "I know, it is because I know that I dare to tell you that."

For a while, General Shen turned his eyes to the window on one side, with a somewhat indescribable sadness in his expression, and then he spoke with a little desolation in his voice: "This base is not only my painstaking effort alone. The outbreak of this virus can be said to be a fatal blow to the entire human race. No matter in terms of transmission speed or coverage, we were completely caught off guard.

"Now, here, it can be said that the largest number of elites on this continent have gathered, working hard to cut off the virus and continue the fire of mankind. You want me to believe that there are people with ulterior motives in the highest-level command center... Lu Ze Ah Lu Ze, you really dropped a bombshell on me." He sighed deeply.

Lu Ze was also silent.

Another long silence.

"Apart from these? Do you have any thoughts about the so-called 'Lord' that person said?" General Shen asked.

"According to Ling Qian's description, the survivor named Blanche doesn't seem to be able to talk to anyone. He said a word to Ling Qian, 'I also have my scientific research ideal'. This shows that The person he works for at least to some extent provides him with the attention he needs and some equipment necessary for research. From this point of view, the 'lord', I suspect, is an internal agent in the high-level .”

Shen Jianfeng pondered for a few seconds: "Okay, I understand, don't mention this matter to anyone else, I'll check it out myself. You can train here temporarily for a few days, and the new task may come down in two days Yes. You still lead the team, but there will be a newcomer who will join the team tomorrow, and you will be responsible for coordinating the basic training programs.”

Lu Ze was a little surprised: "Newcomer? Recruit?"

General Shen pinched his eyebrows: "It's not a recruit, strictly speaking, it's your guide for the next mission."

"Guide?" Lu Ze was completely confused.

General Shen waved his hand: "We are still discussing the specific content, and we will call you to a meeting after it is decided. That's it."

Lu Ze had already stood up and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around: "General, there is one more thing..."

Shen Jianfeng had already started approving documents, and raised his head upon hearing this: "What?"

Lu Ze hesitated: "The sign you gave me to contact the informant..."

Shen Jianfeng's eyes moved, and he put down the pen in his hand: "How to say?"

"Do you still remember the rose diagram I showed you before? At that time, Ling Qian told me where he should have seen that pattern. During this operation, he saw the mark you gave me. He felt... that A rose diagram should be part of the mark."

Shen Jianfeng didn't speak, but looked at him fixedly.

Lu Ze scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to express it: "Actually, he is not very sure, he only said that he might have seen it at Colonel Tang's father's house ten years ago. I think..." He hesitated for a second: " Colonel Tang’s father was one of the directors of the Old City Institute of Biology back then, would he have any connection with other people in the Institute of Biology at that time?”

Shen Jianfeng's gaze suddenly became a little deeper.He paused, looked away from Lu Ze, took off his glasses, played with them for a while, and said, "I see. I'll pay attention."

Lu Ze heard the meaning of "this is the end" in his voice, didn't say anything more, saluted and walked out.
