In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Wenren Lei shook her head with great sympathy; the heartbroken young man was truly pitiful.

The man who brought Kong Lu was a burly man in black on duty at the gate. Wenren Lei said, "Old Hei, you can follow my men for now, okay?"

Old Hei coughed and readily agreed, "No problem!"

"Alright," Wenren Lei called out loudly, "Old Han, you come in too, and close the door!"

"Alright!" Han Mingjie closed the heavy door of the banquet hall, hooked the doorknob with a baseball bat, and walked to Yi Yang's side to help maintain order.

Kong Lu was placed in the chair at the front. Wenren Lei stepped forward, grabbed a chair, and sat down facing her.

Kong Lu is very thin, wearing a simple black windbreaker, with long hair, and has a cool and androgynous appearance.

Wenren Lei glanced at her clothes and was about to speak when Kong Lu turned her head away and said, "I didn't spread rumors. It was Lu Shen who stole the crystal core generator technology."

Wenren Lei smiled meaningfully: "Since you know the inside story, why don't you report it directly to the base?"

Kong Lu turned her head back, looked at Wenren Lei, and blinked: "I...I have no evidence."

"You dare to spread rumors without evidence." Wenren Lei gestured with her chin behind her. "Look at the scope of the spread, more than five hundred people. If this were before the apocalypse, you would have been investigated."

The residents, who were sitting haphazardly in their seats, coughed incessantly. One of them, holding two eggs, stood up and said, "Sir, it's this woman. She gave us a very reasonable account, and she even said she saw it with her own eyes!"

Immediately, someone chimed in, "Yes! She said she saw it with her own eyes!"

Someone even boasted, "I provided another clue, can I get another egg?"

Seeing that the residents all wanted to stand up and chime in, Yi Yang sternly reprimanded them, "Alright, everyone sit down and stop making noise! ​​You over there, old man! I'm talking to you! Put your mask on properly!"

Wenren Lei felt that what he was about to say was not suitable for too many people to hear, so he said, "Squad leader, Lao Han, move these people further back and keep an eye on them."

"Take Liao Xingwei with you too," Wenren Lei added.

Liao Xingwei immediately panicked: "What do you mean?! Wenren Lei, I'm not a suspect!"

"Okay, boss!" Yi Yang and Han Mingjie each grabbed Liao Xingwei and carried him away.

Liao Xingwei struggled fiercely: "Hey! What are you two doing! Rude!"

"The class monitor should give him a shock," Han Mingjie said.

"I'm not moving." Liao Xingwei was very pragmatic.

Once all the residents in the hall had retreated and created distance, Wenren Lei looked at Kong Lu: "Did you really see Lu Shen steal the blueprints with your own eyes?"

Kong Lu glanced at Huang Yijie, who was squatting in the corner, and bit her lower lip: "I did see Lu Shen steal the manuscript of the crystal core generator. If you don't believe me, you can search his house."

She spoke with absolute certainty, showing no sign of guilt, which even made Wenrenlei waver slightly—could it really be Lu Shenggan's?

Wenren Lei slowly leaned back in her chair: "Tell me in detail how he stole the manuscript."

Kong Lu hesitated for a moment, then her gaze drifted to Huang Yijie once again.

Wenren Lei said impatiently, "Why are you staring at him?" He turned around and called out, "Huang Yijie, come here."

Huang Yijie coughed twice while squatting in the corner, then reluctantly stood up and walked to Wenren Lei's side: "You're here."

"Say something to her," Wenren Lei said.

"Kong Lu," Huang Yijie said in a muffled voice, "was it really you who betrayed the base?"

Wenren Lei slowly glanced at him sideways, thinking to herself—Jerusalem among straight men.

An intense dryness and itching rose from Wenren Lei's throat. He coughed a few times and added for Kong Lu, "Huang Yijie, look what you've done."

Huang Yijie looked bewildered: "What did I do?"

Kong Lu stared at him for a long time, then finally laughed in anger: "Huang Yijie, you were the one who said you didn't want to cooperate with the authorities and had already contacted the Cataclysmic Research Institute to develop crystal core power generation technology. Later, you were afraid of being investigated and held accountable by the Alliance, so you asked me to spread rumors and throw all the dirt on Lu Shen. Now that the authorities have arrived, you're just trying to pin the blame on me?!"

Upon hearing this, Wenren Lei and Huang Yijie both fell silent in astonishment.

Huang Yijie was utterly heartbroken and felt so wronged he wanted to die: "What are you even talking about?"

Kong Lu paused, seemingly speechless: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, daring to do something but not daring to admit it!"

Huang Yijie had never been wronged like this before, especially by the person he loved. He was so anxious that he trembled all over. He turned to Wenren Lei and said, "Brother Lei, I really didn't do it. Please believe me."

Seeing that the two were sincere and didn't seem to be lying, Wenren Lei patted Huang Yijie and said, "Don't get excited, stay calm."

He looked at Kong Lu and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Kong Lu lowered her head and whispered, "Yes. Huang Yijie gave me several handwritten manuscripts. Handwriting doesn't lie. You can search for them; they're under the mattress in Lu Shen's bedroom."

The hiding place has been identified.

As for the handwriting, Wenrenlei only made his own comparison and cannot draw a definitive conclusion.

He took out the manuscript he had found at Lu Shen's house directly from his spatial storage and handed it to Huang Yijie: "Is this your manuscript?"

Huang Yijie was shaken and breathing heavily. He hurriedly looked down to look at the words on the paper.

"This is..." Huang Yijie's eyes widened. "This is my manuscript, Brother Lei, where did you get it?"

Wenren Lei gestured with her chin towards Kong Lu: "Just as she said, it's in Lu Shen's bedroom, under the mattress, exactly as she described."

Kong Lu sneered: "Of course it's exactly the same, I released it myself."

"When did you put it in? Have you seen Lu Shen and Grandma Li?" Wenren Lei asked.

"I didn't see the grandfather and grandson this afternoon. I went in when they went out to collect their daily supplies," Kong Lu said.

"When will they be collecting supplies? Do you know when they'll be going out to collect supplies?"

Kong Lu looked at Huang Yijie again: "Yijie said that when Lu Shen goes to collect the supplies, he will have the person in charge of the supplies management office notify me. I can take advantage of this gap to go into the house and leave the manuscript at his house."

"Huang Yijie, did you tell her that?" Wenren Lei looked at Huang Yijie.

Huang Yijie was still lost in thought, clutching the manuscript, when Wenren Lei nudged him: "Hey!"

"Ah!" Huang Yijie snapped back to reality. "Yes!"

"What are you looking at?" Wenren Lei asked. "Why are you spacing out?"

Huang Yijie broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes filled with terror: "Brother Lei, I kept these manuscripts in a place only I know about. Even my brother doesn't know where they are. I even put them in a safe." His face was deathly pale. "There's only one possibility: I personally handed them to Kong Lu. But I have absolutely no recollection of it. Do I... have some kind of split personality disorder?"
