The farce quickly came to an end, and no one paid much attention, except for the fact that the gaze directed at Liu You'er had turned more scrutinizing.
Unfortunately, the person being observed completely ignored it.
From beginning to end, she maintained a detached expression, the only thing she did was stare intently at Zhao Feng, her focus oddly serious, as if she were a cat contemplating how to play with a mouse before finally catching it.
Zhao Feng felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
He did not possess any abilities; during the early days of the apocalypse, he had relied entirely on his identity as Liu Yuan's brother-in-law to gain special protection from the military. Coupled with Liu Xinxuan's formidable abilities and his own management skills in running a company, he had managed to become Zhao Commander's secretary, appearing quite impressive.
However, in reality, an ordinary person like him was currently being pressured by the aura of an evolved being. Although he maintained a smile on his face, his clothes were already soaked with sweat. He wanted to speak but felt as if a thorn was lodged in his throat, rendering him unable to utter a single syllable.
He clearly had never seen the alluring Radiant Lightning before; why did she exert such immense pressure on him? Was this the intimidation of a strong individual? But that didn't seem right...
He glanced at Zhao Commander sitting to Liu You'er's left and saw that he appeared completely unfazed, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever.
This old man also lacked any abilities; why did he seem unaffected? Could it be that this intimidation was directed solely at me?
He squinted his eyes and locked gazes with the woman across from him.
"Ah."
"Sizzle."
The chair emitted an unpleasant screech as Zhao Feng sat up, drenched in sweat, his face filled with terror as he trembled and pointed at Liu You'er.
"Hui'er?!"
"Who is Hui'er?"
The cold female voice jolted Zhao Feng awake from his hallucination. The woman who had been bloodied and filled with resentment was gone, replaced by a strange woman before him, her lips slightly curled in a smile but her eyes icy.
However, what was this strange sense of familiarity...?
"Zhao Feng? What’s wrong with you?!"
The words of Zhao Commander finally brought Zhao Feng back to his senses. His expression immediately returned to normal, though he still looked a bit pale.
"I'm sorry, I suddenly feel unwell. I need to leave."
Zhao Commander looked at him with a frown before nodding in agreement. He then continued speaking as if nothing had happened, his gaze subtly sweeping over the culprit, who appeared innocent while playing with her nails, seemingly unconcerned.
To the onlookers, it was clear that Radiant Lightning had done something underhanded. Some were secretly amazed that she dared to act in front of the highest commander of A City Base, while others felt a bit of anticipation for a confrontation between A City Base and L Base, hoping to benefit from the chaos.
Unfortunately, what they imagined did not come to pass. The subsequent meeting continued in an orderly manner, and there were also moments of joy.
Chuze stood there, holding a peculiar silver-white firearm about forty centimeters long, adorned with flowing golden patterns that looked stunning.
This is our newly developed weapon, the Charged Light Gun. It requires no bullets and is equipped with a solar chip. When attacking, it emits a beam of light close to 300 degrees, capable of directly penetrating the defenses of Level Four metal Ability users.
Moreover, we are willing to provide each base with one and send personnel for a month of training to teach you the strengths and weaknesses of various Zombies and how to defend against Zombie Tides. The only condition is that you must follow the commands of A City Base, and each base Ruler must be willing to swallow the Shadow Egg as a sign of loyalty.
"Shadow Egg? What is that?"
A short person with a cold gaze asked.
It is the Egg of the Parasitic Insect, a parasite that feeds on internal organs after the apocalypse. After my modification, it can be swallowed without adverse reactions, but you will need to take the pills I provide every year; otherwise, the insects will hatch.
Chuze's calm tone was like a bucket of cold water poured over those who had been excited before, stripping away their joy.
"What? Swallowing insect eggs?!"
The expressions on the Ant Faces varied; some were shocked, some indifferent, some appeared to be sleeping, while others flashed with murderous intent.
"Ding, threat detected. Defense mode activated."
A burst of fire shot toward Chuze at lightning speed. Liu You'er was momentarily stunned as an Electric Light appeared in her hand under the table.
"Bang."
The fire exploded just one millimeter in front of Chuze. It seemed as if a transparent Barrier flickered briefly before disappearing, and throughout the entire event, his expression did not change at all.
"What is this? Even a Level 5 'Red Flame' can be blocked?!"
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them; this was equivalent to the energy of 'Ten Grenades' gathered together!
"Beep, threat eliminated. Should we eliminate the attacker?"
"Mm."
A casually spoken syllable sealed his fate. The air around 'Short Girl' began to distort, and countless red lights appeared. He wanted to run, but it felt as if he were trapped in a 'Transparent Barrier', unable to do anything but flail at the air. In the next moment, the red light surged, and when it faded, he had completely vanished without a trace.
This was a mechanism created by me and 'Zhuge' by combining the Five Elements with modern technology.
"…"
Who wants to hear you talk about this?! Is this really the time for an explanation of the mechanism?
The crowd watched in trepidation at this simple yet brutal mechanism, not to mention that they were currently within it!
Upon hearing 'Chuze' speak, 'Liu You'er' couldn't suppress a hint of a smile in her eyes, feeling immense sympathy for those 'Ability' users who had hurried to A City.
"Beep, alarm deactivated. Entering standby mode."
"Ah~"
Everyone sighed, feeling a lingering fear, as if they would rather face a Zombie than confront this man.
"Also, the insect eggs have already made their way into your stomachs through the food and water over the past few days. The meeting is over, so please feel free to rest," he said.
"WTF? Are you kidding me? You fed us that and then asked for our opinion? You even set off traps? And killed that little guy? You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Of course, even though they knew it was a warning tactic, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction, not even a hint of hostility. Who knew what other tricks this pervert had up his sleeve?
Indeed, facing a Zombie might be better after all...
Liu You'er was almost laughing at the scene in her mind. She knew Chuze was formidable, but she had never seen how he dealt with enemies. After witnessing it today, she suddenly felt a bit of admiration for him. Just as she thought this, she caught Chuze looking at her, his dark pupils piercing deep into her eyes, leaving her momentarily stunned.
If the Zombie blood hadn't invaded her brain, her face would probably be flushed by now.
The smile on her lips finally lost its coldness.
For the first time, she realized that even if the world were left in shades of gray, it could still be vibrant and colorful.
Xuan Mo observed the entire meeting and felt an even deeper apprehension towards Chuze. This man was indeed not to be underestimated.
Retracting his gaze, he was about to call Liu You'er to leave when he noticed the fleeting smile on her lips, radiating a warm charm that left him momentarily dazed. Following her earlier gaze, he looked over.
Chuze?
Chuze glanced at Xuan Mo, nodded slightly as a form of politeness, and then turned to leave.
Xuan Mo watched this scene, feeling a tightness in her heart as she gazed at Liu You'er's retreating figure, lost in thought.
Had she missed something over the past few days?
Somewhere else
Zhao Feng sat behind the desk in his study, looking at the person with their head bowed in front of him. He spoke in a low voice, "What exactly is the background of Radiant Lightning? Have we gathered any information on her from before the apocalypse? Is the one who came to A City truly the real Radiant Lightning?"
The person in front paused for a moment and uncertainly replied, "We have already investigated everyone who came to A City, including their family relationships and photos from before the apocalypse. If you need it, I can send you her detailed information when I return."
"Alright, go ahead and take care of it. I want it within half an hour."
Twenty minutes later
Buzz~
Hearing the vibrating sound from the computer, Zhao Feng opened his eyes, which had been closed in rest. He looked at the information that had come through on the screen, his gaze flashing with a cold light as his hand slowly moved toward the mouse.
Radiant Lightning? Let me see who you really are!
