Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 404 Interrogation
Ouyang could no longer contain himself. He quietly left his hiding place, like a ghost wandering in the darkness, and stealthily approached the nearest enemy from behind, striking with lightning speed.

The left arm was strangling his neck, while the right hand covered his mouth.

The target struggled desperately, but was no match for Ou Yang's strength, and quickly fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen.

Ouyang immediately dragged the enemy into the shadows, tore off his clothes, tied his hands and feet, and gagged him to prevent him from making any unnecessary noise.

Slap your cheeks hard until the enemy wakes up.

The other person was terrified, struggling violently, and making incoherent, incoherent noises.

Since Ouyang couldn't understand Spanish and had no translation equipment, he could only punch the enemy in the stomach, making him groan softly.

He grabbed the prisoner by the neck and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I'll ask you a question, you answer it, or you'll die!"

The other person didn't react at all, as if they had lost their soul, still muttering to themselves, but no longer making a sound.

Ouyang didn't care about anything else and pressed, "Tell me, what happened here? Why are you kneeling there?"

The prisoner remained as still as a block of wood, repeating the same thing over and over again.

Even after tearing off the strip of cloth, I still couldn't understand.

Ou Yang frowned and threw another punch: "Pretending, huh? I'll teach you to pretend, go ahead and pretend!"

He punched the enemy several times in a row, leaving him with a bruised and swollen face.

I don't know if it was because of the beating or what words had an effect, but the man actually changed his language: "I am guilty!"

What the hell?
Ouyang never expected that a beating would only yield such a result.

After another punch, the prisoner finally managed to utter a few more words, roughly meaning that he was deeply sinful and begged God for forgiveness, sounding very devout.

Ou Yang felt a lump in his throat, unable to release it, unable to spit it out or swallow it down.

By this time he had calmed down a bit and realized that it wasn't a matter of methods at all, but rather that the other party had fallen into a hallucination after inhaling the hallucinogen. Who knows what that brutal beating he had just received was actually in that hallucination?

Realizing he had made a fool of himself, Ou Yang angrily scratched his head.

The prisoner continued to ramble on and on, repeating the same old things over and over.

Ouyang suddenly had a thought. He carefully organized his thoughts, cleared his throat, and lowered his voice even further, trying to make it as authoritative as possible: "Sinner, I allow you to repent for your sins!"

He almost blurted out "wicked creature," but the word was impossible to translate. After racking his brains, he finally came up with the term "sinner."

Ouyang had no idea that the other party's religious sect had the concept of sinners, so he could only give it a try.

The prisoner finally reacted differently, pitifully talking incessantly, switching between Spanish and English. It took Ouyang a great deal of effort to barely make out that his words were all a plea for divine forgiveness for his actions.

Seeing that there was a chance, Ou Yang immediately changed his tune: "Sinner, confess your sins truthfully!"

After finishing speaking, I felt something was missing, and for some reason, I remembered the saying "confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely": "Honest people can be forgiven."

Even he himself found it awkward to say those words; he could only manage to convey the meaning.

The prisoner was confused, so Ouyang had to be more direct. This time, the prisoner finally understood and began to ramble on.

At least half of the content was completely incomprehensible, making Ouyang extremely regretful: how could he have captured such a bizarre prisoner?
Unable to contain himself any longer, Ouyang offered a hint: "What exactly is burning over there?"

To my surprise, just that one sentence caused the other person to show a look of horror: "People, a lot of people!"

Ouyang's heart tightened: "Who is it?" Just as he was about to get an answer, the guy switched back to Spanish and rambled on and on about a bunch of things he couldn't understand.

Ouyang was on the verge of a breakdown when he suddenly threw a punch: "Speak like a human!"

He had to be aware of his surroundings while conducting the interrogation to avoid being discovered by the enemy, and the psychological pressure he was under was immense.

The man stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a single word: "Living dead!"

Ouyang was immediately stunned. A living dead? A zombie? An infected person?
He couldn't help but look over, then suddenly turned back: "How many people were burned?"

"a lot of!"

“How much is a lot?”

"a lot of!"

Ou Yang was furious, but no matter how he tried to get the specific numbers out of them, he couldn't get any. So he changed his approach: "Where did these living dead come from?"

Before I could even utter a word, my heart was already racing.

He was very worried about hearing about a spore leak from the research institute, or other similar answers.

Ouyang's concerns were not unfounded.

Since waking up, one question has been troubling him: why did the research institute have to be withdrawn?

Just because of the sneak attack from the neighboring residence?
Forget it. Although the emergency response team only has seven people, the research institute is definitely not lacking in protective forces. In addition, there are warships stationed there. The strength of the neighboring prefecture is simply not enough.

The warship left port as the typhoon passed, and the incident occurred when our forces were at their weakest.
It sounds reasonable, but what about afterwards? When the warships return, will they turn a blind eye to the reckless actions of the neighboring government?
According to Wan Lin, the incident happened not just a day or two ago, but a full ten days or so. Even if a fleet was temporarily requisitioned from the secondary transport line, it should have arrived by now, right?

It's rather strange that Kebeiling Island has always been under the control of the neighboring government.

Ou Yang kept guessing whether the problem was with the new city or the research institute. Regardless of what happened, there should be a reasonable explanation for abandoning the research institute, right?
If a large-scale spore leak occurs and everyone gets infected... that doesn't make sense either. Inhalation can be prevented in the early stages, so the chance of infection is very small. There's absolutely no reason to give up!

In a flash, Ouyang finally heard the prisoner's reply: "The ship!"

Ou Yang was taken aback: "What ship?"

The prisoner's answer remained the same: "The ship!"

Ou Yang's face darkened: "Where's the ship?"

This time there was a response; the prisoner raised his hand and pointed to the east side of the dock.

Ou Yang knocked the prisoner unconscious with a punch and crept towards the direction the prisoner pointed.

Not feeling safe after taking a few steps, he secretly grabbed a second tongue and, with some superstitious trickery, not only confirmed that the person being burned was indeed a living dead, but also obtained information about the ship.

It just refers to a different direction.

Unable to bear the inner torment any longer, and eager to know the truth, Ouyang immediately moved towards the nearest location.

After walking a few hundred meters along the coast, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Tonight, the night sky is moonless, the Milky Way stretches across the heavens, and the stars are dazzling.

Apart from the land and sea, there should be nothing else obscuring the starry sky, but there is a gap in the left front!
Surprised, I stopped and strained my eyes to make out the outline of a large ship, which looked somewhat familiar!
Ou Yang subconsciously stopped in his tracks, and two words suddenly popped into his mind: cruise ship?
