Chapter 113 Go and deliver the message
In their past life, Chao Boyan and Ling's relationship was always just so-so.
Although Ling is aloof and not very social, she has saved people from danger countless times in the team, and most people have a decent relationship with her.
Only Chao Boyan kept his distance from her, remaining aloof and distant. When they occasionally explored whether there was a way to deal with the power outage, he pretended to be clueless and remained silent.
It turns out he already knew.
He was the one who presented the evidence, but the laboratory was not destroyed as expected. Instead, it was kept in silence.
Chao Boyan probably knew what X meant, so he secretly tried to find ways to prevent the team from entering the Dream City base several times.
The so-called free squad should not be restricted by a strictly managed place like the base.
Now it seems like he was just afraid of being silenced.
It seems that the team she casually assembled back then still holds quite a few secrets.
So how exactly did Chao Boyan, a lawless outlaw, get involved with the base?
"Why are you working for the government? Are you one of their people?" Miao Yin asked.
Chao Boyan's expression stiffened for a moment, though it was very subtle, Miao Yin still noticed it.
"What, are you a secret agent they trained?" she joked casually.
"No."
Chao Boyan was in a bad mood, but fearing that the other party would kill him, he still added a few more words.
"I spent some time in prison before. When the apocalypse started, I escaped with the other prisoners. There was a shortage of supplies in the area, so I went with them to the base."
The base happened to have files about my case... so they made a deal with me, letting me come here to collect information, and in exchange, they would provide me with crystal cores and some supplies.
"Pfft—" Miao Yin couldn't help but laugh.
"You're in jail? What did you get arrested for?"
This was the first time she had learned that the other person had such an embarrassing history. No wonder they never mentioned the time when the apocalypse had just begun, and only said that they had taken on a job and were making preparations.
It turned out to be Waterloo; he was arrested.
If Tu Hao found out, he'd laugh himself to death.
"...I did some dirty work, was betrayed by the people around me, and then I went to jail." Chao Boyan's tone unconsciously carried a hint of coldness.
"Ling, let him go," Miao Yin said.
Ling had no objection to Miao Yin's words and nodded. She also withdrew the thorns behind her. You Wenwen stood beside her, holding her sleeve.
Chao Boyan, however, did not let his guard down.
He didn't think the matter was over.
Sure enough, Miao Yin said to him, "In that case, take your evidence and go back to the base to inform them."
"...?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Chao Boyan's face: "Do you want to use this evidence to punish the people who control the laboratory?"
“Sanctions? No, no, if you’re talking about Li Kangping, he’s already dead.”
"what?"
Chao Boyan's pupils contracted, and even Ling and You Wenwen turned their gazes to Miao Yin.
“No wonder the lab’s supplies haven’t arrived lately, and they’ve even ordered us to organize the data, it looks like we’re about to leave.” Chao Boyan immediately thought of the unusual things that had happened in the lab recently.
But he thought they probably didn't know Li Kangping was dead; they had only received news that things were getting tense lately, so they started making preparations.
Otherwise, if the boss were gone, the people in the lab would have run away long ago. Why would they stay here waiting for supplies and orders?
"Won't the things the base promised me be null and void because of this?" He frowned.
Li Kangping is dead, the laboratory is destroyed, so his trip was all for nothing.
"Whether it's invalid or not is not important. What's important is that you have to give them the message. You have to let them know that the experiment failed, the laboratory is gone, and the person who destroyed the laboratory was an ability user named Leng Miaoyin."
"Leng Miaoyin, is that you?"
"Yes."
“I can understand the experiment failing. You wanted to protect Ling Shuang, but you put yourself in the spotlight.”
No one can resist something like the 4-drug. Miao Yin and Ling are on the same team, so it's normal for her to want to use him to cut off this information chain and protect Ling from being targeted by X.
But what does it mean that she exposed herself?
Li Kangping is dead, something even the people in the lab don't know, yet she does.
Was she involved in the other person's death?
Chao Boyan vaguely felt that he had been caught in a vortex, or rather a chessboard, where the player, with unfathomable skill, picked up his piece and pushed it to the opposite side's territory.
"so what?"
Miao Yin has her own plans and is now just waiting for the right time.
Tu Hao and Peng Si's words made her realize that her superpowers seemed to have been demonized.
Since that's what the other party thinks, she might as well go with the flow, seize the opportunities available to her, and carry out her plan.
How do you say that?
When it gets dark, close your eyes; the werewolf is pretending to be the seer.
"If you want me to do something, you have to make things clear. Otherwise, with the world so vast and we can't contact each other, you don't want me to ruin your plans, do you?"
"With you?" Miao Yin chuckled.
"You're overthinking it. I just want you to be a messenger and pass on what I just said. That's enough. You don't need to get involved in anything else."
After thinking for a while, Chao Boyan said, "If I do this, will you remove the superpower from me?"
"Of course," Miao Yin replied sincerely.
"How can you guarantee it?" Knowing that he was useful, Chao Boyan was less wary and began to discuss cooperation.
"My guarantee is this: if you don't obey, I'll kill you. Is that enough?" Miao Yin said with a smile.
Chao Boyan's throat tightened, and he wanted to speak but couldn't. He looked at Miao Yin with a complicated expression.
Ling and You Wenwen also walked up behind Miao Yin and said, "Do as I say, or would you rather try my Thorns?"
As he spoke, the white thorns swayed around Ling, signifying a threat from their master.
Chao Boyan, suddenly threatened with death by two murderers: "..."
He sighed and flashed his signature business smile: "Okay, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the task. Can I leave now?"
Miao Yin took out Li Kangping's glasses and handed them to him: "Take them."
Chao Boyan, suddenly faced with two dead men's eyes, was speechless.
The professional assassin showed no fear, calmly accepting the device: "What is this?"
"Li Kangping's eyes."
He almost lost his grip; the thing in his hand felt like it weighed a ton.
This is half of the Dream City base!
How did she manage to take someone down when there were so many people defending her?!
Oh no, by the time he gets back, the base will be gone, won't it?
...It shouldn't be that bad, right? She already told me to go back and report, so the base should be fine.
“Take this, and you can leave,” Miao Yin said casually, ignoring the turmoil in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Chao Boyan finally uttered a single word: "...Okay."
