Chapter 625 The Strangely-Looking Big Guy

Now that we have a guess, the next step is to verify it.

But even though Liang He's face made it easier for her to move around, it still easily attracted attention and suspicion, so she could only continue to seek help from small animals.

However, considering that the place where Droville stores secret weapons probably doesn't have windows or other places where it could easily slip through, it's unlikely that the chameleon could be of much help.

"Zhizhi~zhizhi~"

Just as Liang He was hesitating about how to investigate the secret weapon storage location without anyone noticing, she heard a rustling and squeaking sound under her feet, which instantly attracted her attention.

Liang He lowered her head slightly, and what came into view was a little gerbil. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took out a small biscuit from her pocket and gave it to the little gerbil.

"Little gerbil, would you do me a favor?"

Gerbils are common small animals in the desert, so the rebels wouldn't suspect them.

Most importantly, gerbils love to dig holes. No matter where the secret weapon is hidden, or whether there is an entrance to accommodate the baby gerbil, it will find a way to dig a hole and crawl in.

Okay~ Okay~

The little gerbil ate all the biscuits Liang He gave it, then obediently squatted at her feet, its bright little eyes staring at Liang He as if expecting something.

Liang He, who understood instantly, took out another biscuit, tore open the packaging, and handed it to the little gerbil.

"I'd like to ask you to go to a place and help me see what's inside."

To prevent the little gerbil from misunderstanding her meaning, Liang He gently and carefully expressed her request to the little gerbil.

Fortunately, rodents are actually quite intelligent, and the little gerbil was no exception; it quickly understood Liang He's words.

"No problem! I've got the hamster covered!"

"That's great! When you come back, I'll prepare some more delicious food for you to take back and share with your family."

Liang He never takes anything for free from animals that are willing to help her; she will generally agree to anything she can do.

It seems the little gerbil is quite satisfied with the reward.

"Okay, okay~ I'll be back soon!"

Unlike chameleons, gerbils are naturally adapted to desert environments, so they don't need to search for new homes.

But Liang He thought more than they did. The gerbils were able to survive to some extent thanks to the rebels.

Once the rebels are successfully wiped out, this desolate planet will once again become an abandoned world, and the gerbils, unable to find food, will likely become extinct.

"Once this matter is resolved, we still need to find a way to properly settle these small animals."

Liang He is not a saint, but she cannot stand by and watch the little animals perish.

Moreover, these small animals were most likely stranded here by accident because of the rebels, which is truly pitiful.

While waiting for the little gerbil to send back a message, Liang He didn't sit idle; instead, she continued to refine her plan.

As the time to meet with Drovell drew closer, she felt a mix of calm and excitement.

"I'm back!"

Liang He, who thought she was being greeted by a gerbil, was surprised to find it was a little lizard. She quickly walked up to the little lizard and asked softly.

"Little lizard, do you have some important news to tell me?"

"Yes!"

Perhaps because the seal was only partially broken, the little lizard really liked Liang He's scent, affectionately rubbing against her fingers, and then telling Liang He all the latest information it had discovered.

"We've discovered that the person who covered their face has gone to find the person you're looking for!"

The little lizard's expressions were somewhat cumbersome, but Liang He still managed to quickly analyze the situation clearly from them.

The person covering their face is likely referring to Drowell.

The person she was looking for was, of course, Lan Zhuo, who had been taken as a 'hostage'.

Did you hear what they said?

"It seems to be something like...pretending? And the Dark Guard or something..." The little lizard couldn't fully understand human speech, so it could only say whatever it heard and whatever it thought.

The mention of the "dark side" made Liang He thoughtful.

The rebel army's secret service mainly consists of roles such as disguise and infiltration.

For example, Rick, who initially impersonated Liang He's fan, later tried to disguise his identity and get close to Liang He again when he was on Silver Star.

If the situation hadn't been urgent, and the rebels hadn't been unable to detect that Liang He and the others had discovered their plot beforehand, Rick would have been captured long ago.

"Could it be that they're planning to have someone impersonate Lan Zhuo?"

It must be admitted that Droville was indeed very cautious in his actions.

Having someone impersonate Lan Zhuo can both lure Liang He out and prevent Lan Zhuo from betraying them at a crucial moment.

Even if Liang He discovers that someone is impersonating Lan Zhuo, it doesn't matter. She can just invite the real Lan Zhuo over, and it will have the same effect.

As long as it's real, whether the fake one works or not, it won't cause DeRowell any loss.

"Little lizard, keep an eye on them for me, especially my friends."

"If he gets taken away, you must follow him."

"If you can't get away, have your companion come back and tell me."

In any case, Lan Zhuo's safety is always the top priority.

He was a member of Landon's family and a friend of Lianghe.

"it is good!"

After receiving its latest mission, the little lizard quietly left without attracting anyone's attention.

Not long after the little lizard left, the little gerbil returned.

"Squeak~ Human, I saw what you were talking about!"

"But I can't get in; I can only watch."

"Moreover, that thing looks like a person, but it looks very strange."

Like a human's secret weapon?
Liang He frowned slightly, and asked the little gerbil to describe what it had seen, little by little.

“I dug a hole in the place you told me to go, and when I went in, I found a glass room.”

"But I dared not go near it because there was that terrifying red light around me, which not only made me scream but also killed rats."

"My companion was once cut into many pieces by the red light, it scared the mice to death!"

"There was a big, human-like creature inside the glass enclosure, and he was sleeping with his eyes closed. It was very strange."

The red light the little gerbil mentioned is probably laser infrared light. Once it detects an intrusion by a living organism, it will not only sound an alarm in time, but also directly attack the living organism.

As for the big guy the little gerbil mentioned, if he is indeed the secret weapon Drewell spoke of...

Liang He's heart sank. She suddenly recalled the scene when Wu Shi created her. Could this be a 'new creation' by Wu Shi?
"Have you heard what other people are saying about that big guy?"

Liang He asked a question tentatively, and to her surprise, the little gerbil actually heard her.

"Yes! It looks like... one, two... three! It's number three!"

Number three?!
Sure enough!

Liang He frowned. She had always thought that Wu Shi had shifted his research focus to animals and created the so-called army of ferocious beasts. She never expected that he had not given up on studying humans at all.

That makes sense. Humans are obviously more mysterious to those animals, and they have greater potential, which is obviously more tempting to a research fanatic like Wu Shi.

This number three must be his latest research result.

"Could it be that Number Two's escape has reignited his fighting spirit to return to his old ways?"

Wishing all the babies a Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!
