CH 82

Proofread by ParanoidKitten

One person and one cat returned to the base. Fang He yawned lazily, while Li Zhen kneaded him with gentle movements trying to make him sleep. And with Li Zhen’s gentle pace, Fang He really closed his eyes unconsciously, and he became drowsy after a while. 

Li Zhen looked at Fang He with his paws curled up in his arms, then lightly held his soft paws and touched the soft cat paw pads with his fingertips. When Li Zhen returned to the steel plate house, Li Zhen suddenly focused his senses, and Fang He in his arms abruptly kicked his hind legs. He raised his head and opened his eyes instantly, his green cat eyes were full of alertness, “There is someone inside!”

Li Zhen nodded. He held Fang He and slowly approached the steel plate house. After Li Zhen determined the fluctuation of consciousness inside, he smoothed Fang He’s fur, “Don’t worry, Xiao Baiqiu has already taken him down.”

Xiao Baiqiu took someone down?!

Is that person still alive? Thinking of that fat fish that was turned into mush by Xiao Baiqiu, Fang He’s cat eyes look at the steel plate house, if they open the door, they won’t be greeted by a pile of mush, right? 

When Li Zhen opened the door of the steel plated house, Xiao Baiqiu immediately pounced towards Fang He, making Li Zhen frowned slightly. He then raised his hand, swiping the air, and Xiao Baiqiu was flung back. Xiao Baiqiu rolled in the air and landed in Xiao Sang’s arms with ease. It glanced at Li Zhen a little timidly, ao-wu, it wants mama.

Fang He stretched out his cat paw and patted Xiao Baiqiu’s head, then turned to look at the person, who was pinned by Xiao Baiqiu on the sofa. When he saw the person’s face, Fang He was a little surprised, it was actually the person who was trying to find them before. The one who worked for the laboratory, Sun Peng. He thought that since this person had discovered that his metal ring was missing, he had already taken precautions and ran away, but he didn’t expect that when the two of them went to take a look around, the person actually found his way to their door.

Li Zhen raised his hand and closed the door of the steel plated house. He glanced at Xiao Baiqiu, and motioned for it to let go of the person. When Sun Peng was finally released from the suppression, his face was very pale. He did not know what was suppressing him, he couldn’t move one bit. Even at this moment, all he saw was Li Zhen and the kitten in his arms, so Sun Peng was once again shocked by Li Zhen’s power. All this time, this person had extremely profound abilities.

In fact, it was because of the words Fang He had said to Xiao Baiqiu before he left, they should not be seen by others, otherwise Xiao Sang would explode on the spot. Therefore, Xiao Baiqiu, who only had a simple mind, always remembered that they must not be seen by humans. So inside the domain space of Xiao Baiqiu, Sun Peng couldn’t see it and Xiao Sang at all.

Sun Peng steadied himself before standing up. He then bowed towards Li Zhen, after giving him a bitter smile and said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”

Li Zhen looked at him coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Sun Peng tugged on his collar. The air in this steel plated house is not good, and he was suppressed for so long, so it was a little difficult to breathe.

Li Zhen did not express his opinion, and just continued to look at him indifferently. On the other hand, Fang He was curious. Housing was really considered an expensive good, so for which reason would this person consider giving them such a generous gift?

Sun Peng gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly as he looked at Li Zhen and said, “You saved me, it would not be too much to give you the house for free. I really shouldn’t ask for anything, but if I don’t do this, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

No matter what this person had to say, it seemed that Fang He still had a favorable opinion towards this one. Fang He stepped on Li Zhen’s arm and motioned to Li Zhen to listen to the situation first.

Li Zhen touched Fang He’s head and looked at Sun Peng, “Tell me, what’s the matter.” 

Sun Peng wiped his face and looked around, “Is this place safe?”

After asking, he felt like he was asking something stupid. If it was not safe, he would not be restrained by some kind of force as soon as he approached, leaving him completely immobile, even though his ability was already level 2.

Sun Peng smiled bitterly and talked about what happened after he was rescued by Li Zhen. After he woke up, he followed the road all the way to A City. He belonged to the earlier group of people who came to A City. Moreover, his ability was a spatial system, which not only allowed him to store some supplies, he was also able to use the space blade to attack.

So after arriving in A City, he easily entered the second line of defense before being admitted to the laboratory under the solicitation of a certain organization in the base. After some tests, he became a guard in the mid-level position of the laboratory. 

At first he thought he was doing something very sacred, escorting the future of mankind, but after coming into contact with some things one after another, he found that this laboratory wasn’t as simple as he imagined.

“They are experimenting with people, including children!” Sun Peng said this sentence with clenched teeth. It just so happened that while he was on duty, his ability upgraded. When his ability was upgraded, he broke a bit of space limitation and accidentally saw and inadvertently saw the experiment being conducted inside. Three children under the age of two or three were locked in a room with at least ten zombies in it. The final scene was terrible. Only one child survived, and the experimenters recorded the data with unchanged faces.

At that time, Sun Peng almost wanted to rush in, but his upgraded ability only allowed him to see the situation inside and it was difficult for him to enter.

After that, he kept looking for opportunities, but he couldn’t do anything except record some scenes. 

After Sun Peng said this, he leaned on the sofa with tears on his face. Little by little, he told him what he had seen. In addition to the children, he also witnessed countless ordinary people and mutants who were constantly subjected to various inhuman experiments. Even when he closed his eyes, he could still hear all kinds of screams, but there was nothing he could do about it. He didn’t know who to disclose this information to.

Then, he remembered Li Zhen who once rescued him. This person, who carried a cat with him, was very strong and may have a way to stop the laboratory from doing what it was doing. Even if it couldn’t be stopped, it’s good to be able to rescue some people. This was why he would come to the second line of defense from time to time and befriend Wang Lei, so that he could ask him to help find someone.

But when he finally found the person, the metal ring that represented his identity in the laboratory disappeared. If that thing disappeared, it meant that he was about to die. He once met a person who lost his metal ring, and that person suddenly died of insanity in less than an hour’s time. Although he hadn’t died yet, it may be just a fluke, maybe in the next moment he will also die tragically.

If others heard Sun Peng say this, they might still have some doubts, but Fang He, who had experienced it himself, had fire in his eyes. 

Li Zhen’s mind was also equally turbulent. He gently smoothed Fang He’s back, comforting Fang He’s emotions, while easing his own emotions with this method as well. He is not yet in full control of himself, if he’s not careful, it will trigger a zombie siege outside.

Fang He tilted his head and looked at Li Zhen, silently communicating with him, “What should we do?”

Li Zhen sat down on the sofa across from Sun Peng and gestured for Sun Peng to sit on the opposite side, “How much do you know about the defense mechanism of the laboratory?”

Seeing Li Zhen asking about this, Sun Peng immediately sat up straight, “I know all the guards in the middle level, I can tell you all of them.” 

Li Zhen shook his head, he looked at Sun Peng and said, “I need to know how many psychic mutants there are and what their levels are. Other mutants are trivial matters.”

Those visible guards were naturally not what Li Zhen was concerned about, after he checked the metal ring, he became more concerned about the psychic mutants in the laboratory. Those talents were the real defense system.

Sun Peng frowned and thought for a while, then scratched his head, “I really don’t know about this, are there any psychic mutants?”

Li Zhen nodded, there were traces of at least three psychic mutants in the metal ring, but he didn’t need to explain this to Sun Peng, he just said, “I can go through your consciousness to understand some of the scenes you have seen, but it may affect you in some way.” 

Sun Peng clenched his fists. He was a passionate young man who thought he could make a little contribution to saving people, but in the end he became a guard of that kind of dark laboratory. Now he might die at any moment, so it didn’t matter if it affects him or not, “Come on! As soon as possible. Maybe I’ll go insane after a while and you won’t be able to see anything.”

Li Zhen nodded. He closed his eyes slightly and used his mind power to quickly invade Sun Peng’s consciousness.

To find out some information about the laboratory’s defense from Sun Peng’s consciousness still wasn’t easy. Li Zhen carefully checked all the things Sun Peng had come into contact with during this period of time, as well as what Sun Peng saw when he entered and left the laboratory. He repeatedly looked at those memories several times to determine at least the outermost defense system.

When Li Zhen’s mind power was withdrawn from Sun Peng’s consciousness, Sun Peng was sweating profusely, then he looked at Li Zhen with a little fear. Thankfully, he didn’t tell a single lie. 

Fang He couldn’t open his mouth to speak directly, which was suffocating him to death.  He knew that the defense of the laboratory was not so easy to break. Although it was possible to force an attack to enter, the consequences of doing so were unpredictable. So whether Li Zhen could obtain useful information from Sun Peng was very important.

After Li Zhen’s mind power was withdrawn, he suddenly disappeared in front of Sung Peng’s eyes while holding Fang He, then Fang He directly landed on the bed in the space. Li Zhen stared at Fang He with deep eyes, he once again saw the experiences of those experimental subjects from Sun Peng’s consciousness, and Li Zhen was now in a really bad mood.

Those tragic experiments were all Fang He’s past. It was a tragic life he had never participated in. Without any hope, so desperate that you couldn’t die even if you wanted to. Even if Fang He was now safe while being pressed beneath his body, those encounters couldn’t be erased. Li Zhen looked at Fang He’s worried eyes before taking a deep breath, “Transform, He-miao. Let me look at you.”

Fang He seemed to be stirred by those deep eyes filled with emotions, and unconsciously turned into a human figure with two soft black cat ears, then he reached out to hold Li Zhen’s face, “Li Zhen, don’t be like this, I’m fine now.” 

Li Zhen closed his eyes, and his trembling lips slowly covered Fang He’s soft lips, while his hot palms eagerly caressed Fang He’s flexible waist.

Sunnyshies: Zombie Emperor is now ushering its impending ending this March. Yeah, this March!
