Chapter 120: Unknown

"In the past few days since you disappeared, the Foundation has purged the town of all the infected, and when Lei Shui couldn't find you. He had to send someone to keep an eye on you every day."

Inside the lounge, Zhang Jue sat in a chair with his eyes closed as Yang Xue poured water into a cup while she talked about what had happened since he left.

"They found a little girl named Alice. She said she had seen you. I tested her blood. She was not infected. She was diagnosed with malnutrition, and I have arranged for her examination. She has natural antibodies to SCP-016-A in her body, which has very important research value, and the Foundation has added her to the protected list. So you don't have to worry about that."

Zhang Jue suddenly opened his eyes when Yang Xue said, "How did you know I would worry about her?"

Yang Xue looked at him, "You may seem to care about everything, but you never treat those who have helped you poorly."

Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows, "Was it that obvious?"

Yang Xue nodded. Thinking of Shirley and Kareena, Zhang Jue sighed. Nowadays, it is all the rage to kill people and families at every turn. He was afraid that his personality would not be popular. But it could not be helped. This is the third time he has encountered such a situation. He could only do what he should do.

Yang Xue handed the water cup to Zhang Jue, then set it aside, with the word 'mind' written all over his face. Not to mention that the two were now very familiar with each other. If Shirley been here, she could know that Yang Xue had something difficult to say.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jue asked.

Yang Xue looked at him and stammered, "There's something... I've kept away from you, and I can't tell you right now..."

Zhang Jue pointed to the hospital that was about to be built not far from the window, "It's this thing, right?"

Yang Xue didn't shake her head, nor did she nod. In fact, she had already violated the Foundation's regulations with her last sentence.

Zhang Jue laughed, "It doesn't matter for me anyway. It's a pleasure in itself. Besides, I already knew about it. You were just silent about it." Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Seeing SCP-682 was one of his must-do things. O5-10 was full of promises but did not give Zhang Jue a specific time. Zhang Jue knew that although the O5 Council belonged to the same top leadership of the Foundation. The 13 O5s each had their own small circle, and they needed time to decide something.

When Harvey, the Deputy Site Director of Site-17 in Europe, heard about the news. He told about it to the Head Supervisor of Experiment Clement.

"Look at this old buddy of mine. He did what I always wanted to do but was afraid to do. I'm feeling as good as if I ate Grandma's ice cream and two of them at once!"

Clement looked at the brief in his hand and frowned, "I heard that Lord Lei Shui is very good at strategizing. I hope that Advisor Zhang will not be retaliated by him."

"What are you talking about." Harvey slapped the table, "If anyone dares to harm my old friend. I will poke his ass with a pencil, I promise to God!"

Meanwhile, Lei Shui received a call from his older brother, Lei Shan.

"How's it going?"

Lei Shui held the phone between his shoulders as he sorted through the information in his hands.

"Everything is going according to plan. As you said, Advisor Zhang is indeed a very interesting person."

Lei Shan said, "I heard that you and he almost had a conflict."

"Ah." Lei Shui laughed, seemingly not taking this matter to heart, "Just doing it for some people."

Lei Shan hummed. His brother is a thoughtful person and has never made a mistake in his work. Never.

But he still instructed, "Be careful and take care of your health."

Lei Shui just wanted to speak but suddenly coughed. His face was red, and he coughed very violently, obviously with some hidden disease. It took a dozen seconds before it gradually subsided.

He took a sip of water, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said to his elder brother on the other side of the phone.

"Don't worry. I won't die until it's done."
