Chapter 183 I Admire Strength

"If you know, just say it."

Seeing Qin Xiu's anxiety, she started to dawdle, even crossing her legs, looking relaxed and carefree, which made people grit their teeth in annoyance.

He stopped Qin Xiu from making a move and asked in a deep voice, "What will it take for you to tell me?"

"It's very simple! Just kiss me, say you like me and love me, and say that Ji Xiyun is a shameless slut. That's a very simple request!"

what! !

Ning Shuyu, who had been kicked to the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood. She looked up at Jiang Heyan, who had attacked her, with fear. His fierce appearance chilled her to the bone. For a moment, she really wanted to kill him.

"You dare mention Xiao Ji? I could kill you right now, but Xiao Ji doesn't want you to die yet. Do you think you can stay here peacefully?"

Anyway, her healing ability would heal her injuries, so Jiang Heyan didn't hold back at all when he kicked her. Why should he hold back against someone who had insulted Xiao Ji, especially since she was a traitor who had betrayed the country?

After beating each other for about ten minutes, the two sat down again. Ning Shuyu, who was lying on the ground, was slowly healing herself, and even the scars on her face showed signs of recovery.

Being among those people in GR, and being quite attractive herself, she naturally had to plan for her own safety, so she kept the scars unhealed, claiming that she didn't have the ability to recover them.

"Still not going to tell me now?" He flexed his wrists and casually glanced at Ning Shuyu, who had changed from lying down to sitting up.

Although she can heal on her own, the pain is real. She was wrong; why did she have to endure this beating?

“Tell me, I’ll tell you. But what exactly do you like about Ji Xiyun? If you answer this question, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Just then, Ji Xiyun, who had come to visit, was sitting outside, with her lackey Ouyang Lin, who was very attentive in peeling a pomegranate for her.

Hearing Ning Shuyu's question, she was somewhat surprised. After all, she had always regarded Jiang Heyan as her benefactor and brother and friend, and had never thought that she should repay his life-saving grace with her body.

"Sister Yun, are you particularly surprised? Among our group, you're the only one who didn't know this."

The saying goes, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see clearly." She hadn't realized this at all. Now, looking back, it's obvious everywhere, but she interpreted it in a completely different way.

"It was quite unexpected," she said without continuing, but if you looked closely at her eyes, you could see that her gaze had wandered off, and she seemed lost in thought.

Inside the interrogation room, when Ji Xiyun was mentioned, Jiang Heyan's expression softened visibly. Looking at this scene, she felt extremely unwilling, believing that she was no worse than Ji Xiyun.

"I admire strength!"

These three short words struck Ning Shuyu's heart with resounding force, followed by a head full of question marks. So, she was too weak, was that it?
Not only was Ning Shuyu stunned, but Ji Xiyun outside was also completely bewildered. How come she didn't know that Jiang Heyan was someone who admired strength?

On the other hand, Ouyang Lin was grinning like a rat that had just stolen some oil; he really hadn't expected Old Jiang to give this answer.

Having received the answer, Ning Shuyu kept her word and began to recount all the information she knew.

The things that can control zombies are special items released from the laboratory headquarters. She doesn't have the authority to know what they are, but she knows they were developed from the original infected host.

As for the Mother, she didn't know much. She only knew that she was a ruthless person who persisted in countless drug and virus experiments, and that even the zombie king who escaped from Cangmu Mountain was not even one percent as good as the Mother.

"We don't know what's happening up there, but the higher-ups at GR have issued a death order: capture Ji Xiyun at all costs." If it weren't for this order, she would probably still be in the lab doing research projects and might have lived a little longer.

After the interrogation ended, the two walked out of the interrogation room. Jiang Heyan, who stepped out first, immediately met Ji Xiyun's gaze, who had a half-smile on her face. Thinking of what she had just said, the tips of her ears turned red.

Like a shy young wife, he quietly walked up to her and asked in a soft, slightly embarrassed tone, "How long have you been here? Have you finished questioning the others?"

After knowing his thoughts, although he was a little unaccustomed to his wife's coy manner, he found it quite amusing.

"She only came when she asked you what you liked about me. The investigation is already over. Ning Shuyu, you two discuss how to handle this. I won't interfere."

Ning Shuyu didn't cause her any real harm, mainly because she was always out and about, so Ning Shuyu didn't have a chance to do anything. Even if they bumped into each other, Ning Shuyu could only glare at her a few times, and Jiang Heyan would shield her from any verbal abuse.

After sorting out today's findings, the group left the underwater interrogation area. Those imprisoned inside were doomed to die sooner or later.

At night, Ji Guozhou organized a number of trustworthy people to meet in his office area, while the Sky Dome Squad went home to prepare food or absorb crystal cores to enhance their abilities.

Only one vehicle drove out of the base in the dark and stopped only after entering the forest area.

"Li Xi, keep an eye on the time. We're not far away. Just call us if you need anything."

"Thank you, Sister Yun!"

Jiang Heyan, who came out afterward, unloaded a sack from the back of the car, threw it to Li Xi, and then followed Ji Xiyun, walking in the other direction.

Xing Xiao was also in the car, this was to prevent Ning Shuyu from having any other tricks up her sleeve. She didn't want to come out perfectly fine only to go back lying down.

Ning Shuyu, who had struggled out, looked no different from before, but when Li Xi learned that she was the executioner who had tortured her brother, she knew that she could not possibly die a complete death.

"Heh. So it was you who saw me off on my final journey!" She sat up calmly, looking at Li Xi, who was staring at her with hatred in her eyes, with a defiant gaze.

Seemingly feeling that this wasn't enough to provoke Li Xi, he continued, "Thinking about it, that makes sense. Your brother was killed by me, how could you not come looking for revenge!"

“I will never let you die easily. For someone like you, death is just a relief, which is too easy for you.”

Grabbing her arms, his bloodshot eyes stared intently into hers. "Don't you know? Your special ability was extracted by Sister Yun a long time ago. Now your crystal core is just an empty shell."

As he wished, Li Xi saw her pupils constrict. He then broke her arm and severed her Achilles tendon, leaving her lying on the ground like a dead rat, completely unable to struggle for survival.

"This is just an appetizer. I won't let you die so soon, so you'd better hold on until the end."

"No, just give me a quick death. Please."

On the other side, the two who had walked away stood under the tree. One silently faced the tree trunk, lost in his own thoughts, while the other's eyes remained fixed on the former.

Finally, Jiang Heyan broke the silence, "Xiao Ji, I like you. From the first time you saved me, to the times you helped me improve my strength."

She didn't hear a single word of what Jiang Heyan said after that; she only caught the first six words: "This kid really likes her."
