At this time, in the Panjiang team encampment, Li Yue held Xiao Liang Si in one arm, while she quickly turned a knife on the other. And after a while, she inserted the knife on the table, and turned to look at Boss Panjiang, who was leisurely blowing smoke rings, “You say, why is there no news yet?” 

It’s been a long time, and there was still no news about her brother. Li Zhen was carrying a cat, such an obvious symbol, yet no one saw him?

Wei Panjiang rescued a strand of his straight hair that was caught by Xiao Liang Si, not to mention that this was the hairstyle he liked. He then opened his eyes and looked at Li Yue, who was a little anxious, “Is the reward not high enough?”

Li Yue reached out and pulled the knife off the table, “One hundred crystal nuclei, do you think it’s not high enough?”

A hundred?! Wei Panjiang almost choked on a puff of cigarette, then he looked at Li Yue, “It’s just looking for someone, but you are so generous.” 

Li Yue gave him a cold look, “It didn’t cost you a crystal nucleus, what are you so excited about?”

Every time Li Yue went out, she killed most of the zombies. With the crystal nuclei she obtained from killing zombies, and the bounty shared by their team, Li Yue was definitely the richest person in the entire Panjiang Team.

Wei Panjiang shook his head, then changed his posture from leaning on the back of the chair to Ge You lying, “People are now taking advantage of the the calmness of the zombies outside to go out to find supplies. Where does anyone have the time to spare to find someone? But in case they really do find him, will you really give them the crystal nuclei?”

Li Yue narrowed her eyes, and the spinning knife flew up, “Do you have any news?”

Wei Panjiang waved his hand and a few vines rose rapidly, quickly wrapping around Li Yue’s blade, “Don’t always use the knife. You’re a woman with a family, be careful that no one will want you.”

Li Yue rolled her eyes, she already has a child, so who cares if someone wants her or not.

Li Yue rotated the knife like a rapidly spinning gyroscope, and quickly churned those vines into crumbs, “Speak quickly, my patience is limited.”

Wei Panjiang slowly sat up straight, “Did your brother do biological research before?”

Li Yue didn’t answer, and just looked at Wei Panjiang intently. 

Wei Panjiang sighed. With Li Yue’s expression, it seems that he guessed right. Wei Panjiang lifted his hand and breathed in the cigarette in his hand to the extent that he could no longer smoke, then he just reluctantly threw away the cigarette butt. Now this stuff was getting less and less, smoking one meant less one, so he can only spare so much cigarette a day.

After throwing away the cigarette butt, Wei Panjiang looked at Li Yue, “I never told you this information, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I didn’t think that person to be your brother.”

“What information?” Li Yue’s heart and mind was tense, realizing that something was a little off.

Wei Panjiang flicked the ash from his body, “There is an organization in the third line of defense that has been looking for a Biologist named Li Zhen.” 

Li Yue frowned. Her younger brother was indeed a relatively well-known Biologist before, but after he returned to China, he went and became a Forensic Doctor in T City and has not been in contact with that field again.

Wei Panjiang pointed to his head and said angrily, “Aren’t you curious why Old Song would give me acupuncture every day? Let me tell you that organization is not so easy to deal with. I just gave them a favor, and after gathered some supplies for them, his grandmother gave me a hint that if Old Song hadn’t rescued me, I would become a f*cking shredded experiment lying on the operating table!”

Wei Panjiang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his mood was a little more stable, and he continued, “If it weren’t for my supernatural ability that would allow me to change my appearance and hide the fluctuations of my consciousness when I transformed into a tree, I wouldn’t even know how many times I would have died.”

Li Yue frowned, “What do you mean by experiment?” 

Wei Panjiang sneered, “Do you know the laboratory of the third line of defense? Just those experiments there.”

Li Yue had heard of the laboratory in the third line of defense. It was a laboratory aimed at researching the antidote to zombie virus, and it could be said to be the most sacred place in the eyes of every survivor.

Wei Panjiang continued, “Don’t think that it’s such a good place. It’s just a f*cking evil institution that claims to study the vaccine on the surface. They’re fooling people. In fact they are researching the way abilities are stimulated and how to upgrade the level of abilities. It doesn’t look like a bad thing on the surface, but if you look at how many zombies are out there, and see which abilities are so easy to stimulate. Sacrificing one or two out of a few hundreds weren’t bad, but how many experimental subjects do you think must die in that laboratory for that research to succeed? What do you think, which kind of ‘little mice’ are being used as experimental subjects? They’re using people!”

“Do the military people care?” Li Yue frowned tightly. The basic security and order maintenance of the base still relied to a large extent on the military, and the mutants were required to cooperate with the military when the base was threatened. 

Wei Panjiang pointed to his head, “There are some psychic mutants in the laboratory who can do brainwashing. My head has been tampered with, but it was not finished. Not everyone can be successfully brainwashed. I’m one of the exceptions, so they’re just trying to drive me out of my mind.”

Wei Panjiang looked at Li Yue’s shocked expression and closed his eyes slightly, “I’m saying this for no other purpose, I just want to tell you that if you find your brother, let him go somewhere else. If he really joins that ghost laboratory, maybe one day, I will be against him!”

Li Yue looked at Wei Panjiang’s dark face he never had shown before and walked over, “After talking for a long time, you actually know where my brother is. I’ll give you the crystal nuclei, and give me the information!”

Li Yue took out a box from Xiao Liang Si’s baby basket, and nearly 500 crystal nuclei fell on the table. 

Wei Panjiang glanced at the crystal nuclei that had fallen on the table, and put them away unceremoniously, “Go find someone named Wang Lei from Shen Feng Squad, he knows.”

At this time, Fang He and Li Zhen were wandering around the most lively part of the street. The entire street was filled with various small stalls with a variety of small goods.

Fang He wandered from booth to booth, and when he saw a booth selling all kinds of seeds, Fang He took Li Zhen and walked over.

There was an old man in the booth, but when Fang He got close, he found that although this man looked quite old, his whole body was full of vitality, very fresh and smelled like a forest. 

The old man was leaning on a tattered bamboo woven basket, snoring with his eyes closed, and left many bottles scattered on the ground. A few words were randomly written on the stone, “Ten crystal nuclei per bottle” and a worn cardboard box was placed next to it, but there was nothing inside.

Fang He squatted on the ground and picked up the bottle to look. It was a kind of fingertip-size calcium supplements bottle that children usually drank. He picked up two bottles, and the slips inside were written respectively; ‘Cannibal Flower Seeds’ and ‘Poison Ivy Seeds’.

Fang He was stunned for a moment, and looked at the small bottle, which contained only a tiny seed that was almost invisible. Fang He curiously turned over the other bottles on the ground, and there were actually man-eating willows, venom peas, and all kinds of seeds that he had never heard of before.

It’s a pity that Fang He and Li Zhen didn’t have many crystal nuclei now, so they could only buy two bottles at most. So Fang He glanced around, took out a piece of bread from the space, and covered it with clothes, “Grandpa, do you think you can trade with this?” 

The old man didn’t respond, so Fang He made his voice louder. The old man opened his squinted eyes, and when he saw Fang He’s bread, he shook his head, “Ten crystal nuclei.” After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

The owner of a stall next to him saw the bread in Fang He’s hand and swallowed, “Little brother, that old man is a liar. At first, he sold one seed for 100 crystal nuclei, but no one bought it at all. Now, no one wants a seed for ten nuclei. I have all kinds of blade armor here, do you want to trade with me, how about an axe?”

Fang He shook his head and stretched out his hand to stuff the bread to the old man. When he got closer, he smelled a faint smell of wine on the old man’s body. Fang He was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the bottle of seeds on the ground. Only then did he vaguely remember that this was not a bottle containing any calcium supplements, but a bottle of Hou Xiang Zheng Qi water, or the kind with a relatively high alcohol content. 

Fang He laughed suddenly, turned his head to look at Li Zhen, he blinked and said, “We won’t buy it since we don’t have crystal nuclei. Let’s go back and painfully drink that bottle of wine.”

His voice was not loud, but it was just enough for the old man to hear it. The old man’s eyes opened immediately, and he looked at Fang He with bright eyes, “Don’t lie to this old man, kid. Do you really have wine?”

Fang He stretched out his hand and pretended to take out a bottle of wine from the mountaineering bag that Li Zhen stuffed him as a camouflage before. He then gave the old man a look and stuffed it back. He stood up and pulled Li Zhen to leave.

The old man hurriedly pocketed the various small bottles on the ground, and actually chased after him in three or two steps. “I’ll give all of this to you, are you willing to trade it for the wine?” 

Fang He squinted his eyes and continued to walk forward without stopping.

When Li Yue came over, she saw this scene. A handsome young man pulled his cold-faced brother’s hand and walked in front, while a little old man at the back quickly chased after them with a bamboo basket on his back, chasing and shouting at them, “I have plenty more, or I could trade them all with you.”

When Li Yue saw the appearance of the little old man, she felt strange. Why does this person seem so familiar?

If Wei Panjiang was here, he would definitely recognize this old man at a glance, this was clearly the old man of his family who didn’t want to go home! After helping hide the traces of the meteorite in the valley, this person just disappeared. 

Fang He’s eyes lit up when he saw Li Yue head-on, he completely ignored the little old man behind him, pulling Li Zhen and quickly running in the direction of Li Yue.

When they arrived at Li Yue, Fang He shook Li Zhen’s hand off and looked at the baby basket that Li Yue was carrying. Inside, the chubby Xiao Liang Si was sleeping with his little butt pouted.
