After the boss of the last days was cannon fodder, he changed to farming scripts

Chapter 91 But It's Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Lu Chenyuan obviously realized something, his face changed slightly.

"You mean..." He suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Xi: "Someone stole the crystal nuclei in the brains of mutants for experiments? Is it related to the NX1984 incident?"

Gu Xi nodded, "After the Nancheng No. 176 incident, Uncle Zhou said that there was one less crystal nucleus left at the scene..."

She raised her head and looked out of the window, with half of her face against the light, and said with a difficult expression: "It is said that it is a mutated crystal nucleus of a ninth-level supernatural being."

For this reason, the Nancheng base was under martial law for a long time, and Gu Xi and the others were also invited to investigate.

At first, Gu Xi only thought that the loss of the crystal nucleus was just an excuse made by the base, a cover to cover up the Nancheng Hotel incident.

But now it seems that it is not necessarily the case.

"What do you think?" Lu Chenyuan looked up and asked Gu Xi.

Gu Xi didn't look at him, and only calmly analyzed: "After the 176th incident broke out, I felt very strange. If it was just to kill people, there is no need to make such a big battle..."

"So," Gu Xi looked back at Lu Chenyuan: "At that time, I suspected that someone wanted to take the opportunity to muddy this deep water..."

But at that time, she lacked too much core information. Although she faintly felt that there was a problem, she still couldn't figure out the purpose of the person behind it.

But now it seems... No. 176 was collectively silenced not only because of the Nancheng Hotel, but also because someone was eager to cover up the secret behind No. 176.

Because someone has already reached out to number 176!
But because of the Nancheng Hotel incident, the three wanted criminals were detained at No. 176. As a result, many people will inevitably notice No. 176.

So some people were scared, worried that what they did would be discovered, so they simply used this incident, in the name of a monster riot, to activate the self-explosion device in No. 176, and then blow up all breathing things inside to slag Scum, to completely cover up this matter.

But in this, there may be no third-party forces playing tricks.

After Gu Xi finished speaking, Lu Chenyuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you suspect that the person behind Incident 176... has nothing to do with the people behind the three wanted criminals, but someone else wants to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters?"

Gu Xi slowly shook her head: "It's more than that. I'm afraid there are several forces involved here..."

One is the Ability Research Institute. After all, the arrest warrants for the three criminals were directly issued by the Ability Research Institute.

The second is the secret laboratory in Moon Bay. Behind it, at least three forces are involved:
One party knew her true identity and didn't want to kill her - this should be the group of people who plotted against her first.

These people want to gain powerful power from her, to discover the secret of the ability to break through to the god rank, and even the possibility of longevity.

The other party didn't know who she was, but thought she knew the secret of the underground laboratory from somewhere, so they wanted to kill her to silence her—this should have something to do with the local forces in Yucheng.

But these people don't know the overall situation, and they should be simply driven by huge interests.

And Gu Xi guessed that behind these two parties, there should be another force hidden behind to fuel the flames and control the overall situation.

What they want is more - not only powerful power and huge benefits, but also want to use energy as a bargaining chip to secretly control major bases, and even influence the future and destiny of all mankind.

And this force is obviously related to the NX1984 xenograft collective malignant transformation event.

But here again involves the senior management of the Nancheng base.

After all, whether it is conducting secret experiments in NX1984, or trying to secretly smuggle out the detained mutants and the crystal nuclei in their bodies from No. 176, they can't get around the base's senior management.

But judging from the final consequences of this incident, it is very likely that the senior management of the Nancheng base was used by someone.

And the carrot hanging in front of them, tempting them...

Gu Xi raised her head and asked Lu Chenyuan: "Are the high-level officials in Nancheng base ordinary people or supernatural beings?"

"Liu Zhenyuan, ten years ago, he was transferred to the position of base chief of Nancheng base, and he has been a level 9 supernatural being." Lu Chenyuan recalled, while clicking on his personal terminal, and soon found out the information of the current leaders of Nancheng base :

"In the beginning, there was only Liu Zhenyuan, a level 9 ability user in Nancheng Base, but three years ago, his deputy Wu Yue and Zhang Cheng also broke through and became level 9 ability users. In addition..."

Gu Xi nodded after listening.

Good, she now knows what the carrot hanging in front of them is!

Gu Xi raised her head and looked at the setting sun that was gradually setting in the distance.

The truth of the matter seemed to gradually surface, but Gu Xi knew that this was actually just the tip of the iceberg.

Behind the whole thing, it must be more complicated than she guessed.

Lu Chenyuan stood behind her, silent all the time.

After half a sound.

He turned his head to look at the girl beside him: "Gu Xi, you still missed a little bit."

"I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the military!" Otherwise, those people wouldn't put their minds on the N001 missile!

Gu Xi turned her head, as if she saw something in his eyes, but it passed by without seeing it clearly.

"What are you trying to say?" she asked, earnestly.

"The major bases are not monolithic." He looked down at her and said in a low voice, "The Ability Research Institute is no exception."

Gu Xi has already thought of this point.

After years of chaos in the early days of the last days, human society has gradually restored order. This must be the result of multi-party forces intertwined and competing with each other.

Under the multiple domination of rights, desires, ambitions or interests, the forces of all parties finally weave a big net, and everyone is caught in it.

And she was probably too prominent back then, so she just happened to be a certain point in this net...

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

This is the reason that Henggu has existed since then, and Gu Xi doesn't find it strange.

only……

Gu Xi looked up at the darkness that was gradually enveloping outside the window.

After a while, she suddenly said, "Lu Chenyuan, what you actually want to talk about is my former teammates, right?"

Lu Chenyuan was silent.

Not long after Gu Xi's sudden disappearance, the doomsday team formed with her as the core also fell apart.

Qi Ran obeyed the arrangement of his family and turned to politics; Xiao Yu joined the military; Ye Xin suddenly joined the Ability Research Institute after disappearing for a while; People with supernatural powers are free between the military and the government.

Li Ming, on the other hand, resigned suddenly after serving as the intelligence chief of the central base for several years, and has retired to this day.

Her former teammates, who are all powerful now, seem to have forgotten...their former captain.

And that person, that man who is said to have retired to the mountains with Gu Xi back then, that man who also disappeared for 30 years, but made all of them reluctant to mention his name, and hated him to the extreme...

"They have looked for you all these years, haven't they?" Gu Xihu asked in a low voice.

"Yes. They have come to look for me more than once." Lu Chenyuan looked directly at Gu Xi's black eyes that were exceptionally quiet in the dark night, "But Gu Xiaoxi, do you know what I have found in the past 30 years?"

The more he found out, the colder and colder his heart became.

It's so cold, if Gu Xi didn't come back suddenly, he might not be able to find his former self.

Lu Chenyuan lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding Gu Xi's gaze.

Gu Xi: "But I always remember the moment when they ran towards me regardless of their own safety."

That year, she was 13 years old. In order for her to break through the tenth level as soon as possible, the base sent her to the deserted city to face the thousands of troops of the zombie army alone.

At the last moment, night fell, and before she fainted from exhaustion, it was her team members who ran towards her regardless of the orders of the higher-ups!

Gu Xi will never forget that scene.

At this moment, Lu Chenyuan's jaw line was obviously tense.He missed her too much in the past, met too late...

In the darkness, the man's voice was very low and deep: "I know."

He looked up at her, his eyes were very calm, it was the kind of pretending to be calm after forbearance and restraint: "So after you came back, you have been unwilling to go to them..."

Gu Xi shook her head again and said: "No, after I came back, I didn't contact them. At first, it was because there was no need for that. You know, I used to think that the life of leisure farming is very good. As for later..."

She looked up at Lu Chenyuan, and said with a serious expression: "I did doubt them. But I didn't go to them, not because I doubted them and didn't dare to face them, but because...it's not that time yet."

Lu Chenyuan was stunned.

It seemed that he still didn't know her well enough after all.

The man lowered his eyes, and concealed another deeper and more obscure emotion with restraint and calmness: "Then, that glass of wine back then..."

"That glass of wine may have been an accident, or it may have been a conspiracy." Gu Xi calmly added, "So, now...I'm waiting."

What are you waiting for?
Lu Chenyuan turned his head to look at her.

In the darkness, Gu Xi was silent.

She was thinking, this time the military didn't launch the N001 missile in the end, was it purely because of Xiao Yu's objection, or because... the high-level military had already noticed something?
Back then, her sudden disappearance should have nothing to do with the military.

This point can be confirmed no matter from Shen Yue's previous performance or the news that Lu Chenyuan has found over the years.

But now, judging from the news from Lu Shiliu, Shen Yue has obviously been targeted...

In other words, the military is likely to have been involved.

This is obviously not a good signal.

In the darkness, Gu Xi frowned quietly.
