Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: 250,000 Transfer Fee

Gu Fangyi's interrogation room was a medical room, as his injuries were quite severe and required some basic treatment.

This incident was likely to cause a huge stir, so he wasn't particularly surprised by the arrival of an council official like Yan Danqin.

"This whole thing is very suspicious. Zhang Zhe definitely had issues. His expression was strange from the moment he joined. On the first deformed creature we killed, I saw some of Zhang Zhe's characteristics.

So, I concluded that Zhang Zhe must have become a part of that deformed creature, or he underwent a deformed mutation with other organisms."

"Then, do you think it's possible that Zhang Zhe did this?"

"Absolutely not, at least not by himself," Gu Fangyi said with certainty.

"Why are you so sure?"

"There wasn't just one Xenomorph that appeared; it was a large-scale, widespread outbreak. Zhang Zhe couldn't possibly have had the time and energy to interfere in so many places.

What's more, there was a very powerful hair-like Xenomorph on the first floor at the time. An Xenomorph of that strength couldn't be produced by a normal genetic mutation.

So, I believe the outbreak of the Xenomorph incident was man-made."

Yan Danqin remained noncommittal about Gu Fangyi's judgment.

"You know a lot about Xenomorph ?"

"Yes, I'm a biology student, and Xenomorph are my main research direction."

"Alright, get some good rest."

Compared to the other three, Gu Fangyi's testimony was more systematic and much more useful. Yan Danqin, having gained a lot, left Gu Fangyi's room and went to Lu Luo's interrogation room...

[I have to say, after the invasion of Dark Energy, there are more and more beautiful women in the Wasteland. However, this woman is outwardly strong but inwardly weak. She seems to have a strong aura, but in reality, she's all bluff and still a virgin at her age. How tragic!]

"Cough, cough!"

Lu Luo, who was idly fiddling with his nails, coughed twice, noticing the outwardly strong but inwardly weak woman.

"I am Yan Danqin, a security consultant for the Alliance Council. You're Lu Luo, right?"

"I am."

"The others all said that you weren't on the same floor as them, that you came up from the bottom. So, how did you survive?

The hunters found bloodstains and damage on your clothes, but you have no wounds on your body. Before this incident, you were just an ordinary person. Don't you want to explain?"

[This woman's exaggerated expression and clumsy performance make me feel like I'm watching a soap opera. I even want to grab a bag of potato chips.]

Yan Danqin's words were a bit sharp. It seemed she realized that in her previous conversations, she hadn't taken the initiative, so now she wanted to seize control of the conversation.

For this, Lu Luo had already prepared a relatively reasonable testimony.

"During my escape, I awakened Sequence-D14-Agility. In a desperate situation, a strong will to survive erupted, and when facing the Xenomorph , I performed a slide tackle..."

Lu Luo recounted the entire escape process vividly and coherently, captivating Yan Danqin.

When Lu Luo described strangling the Mechanical Xenomorph with a steel wire, Yan Danqin instinctively clenched her fists in tension, but she quickly realized her gaffe and released them.

[You think your story moved this older woman, but it's actually your looks. A beautiful face is one in a million; an interesting soul is nothing.]

Yan Danqin's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she was laughing at Lu Luo's story. After a moment of silence, she continued to ask:

"Do you have any other thoughts on this matter? Just speak freely, as if it's a private chat."

"I think this incident was man-made!"

"Oh? You think so too?"

Yan Danqin's voice was a bit loud, and Ludy outside the door covered his face.

"Who sent this girl? With her level, and being an ordinary person, she can be a security consultant?"

"She's Luo Xuemin's person."

"That guy who advocates for equality and mutual assistance between transcendents and ordinary people? No wonder!" Ludy curled his lips.

Inside the room, Lu Luo nodded affirmingly.

"This incident is not only man-made, but it's also a large-scale, planned, and premeditated scheme."

"Why do you say that?"

"The coverage of this incident was very high. People or animals that turned into Xenomorph almost all underwent mutation within 1 minute. This speed and synchronicity cannot be achieved by an individual.

To perfect such a plan, one must not only master the technology to make organisms mutate instantly but also have a very detailed plan, and even conduct several simulated drills.

Only large organizations, companies, or institutions possess these conditions."

Lu Luo spoke rhythmically, and Yan Danqin was naturally drawn into his speaking rhythm.

In fact, his testimony was similar to Gu Fangyi's, holding back a lot of information, mainly because the woman in front of him seemed unreliable no matter how he looked at her.

However, even so, Lu Luo was able to explain the matter seven or eight tenths clearly, giving Yan Danqin a general outline of the incident, without revealing any substantial clues. . .)

"I understand. Thank you for your cooperation. I have no other questions, but next, you may still need to cooperate with Captain Rosen's investigation."

"It's alright. This is all for the safety of the Alliance."

Lu Luo proactively shook hands with Yan Danqin. Yan Danqin was very interested in Lu Luo, a sunny, confident, and graceful young man. If it weren't during work hours, she would definitely have asked Lu Luo out.

"Alright, please wait here. I'll go out first."

[Women in the Wasteland are so shallow, as if they've never seen a man before. If you were to ask her out now, I bet she'd even be willing to take things further.]

Outside the interrogation room, Ludy was most aware of the information Lu Luo possessed.

It genuinely surprised him that Lu Luo could use verbal induce and some simple analysis to convey the general outline of the matter to Yan Danqin.

He was becoming more and more interested in Lu Luo as a person.

"This kid is interesting," Rosen suddenly said.

"Rosen, what are you trying to do?"

Ludy suddenly frowned. Rosen was much richer than him, and Team 33 had a large number of people. If he were to help Lu Luo out, Ludy would have no chance at all.

"Look at your lack of ambition. My thoughts are the same as yours, but this guy has a funding contract from Blue Sky Biotechnology for 250,000. That's not a small sum."

"Yes, a 250,000 transfer fee is indeed not a small sum!" Ludy nodded, but he had one more thing he hadn't said.

"But I think this kid is worth that price!"
