Chapter 144 The End of the World (60)
Li Zeliang no longer cared much about his sister's death. He was more concerned about his severed hands. However, the doctor who came with him only took a quick look and shook his head regretfully, "It's already necrotic. If you don't amputate it quickly, it will cause greater damage to your body."
This was like a bolt from the blue. Li Zeliang couldn't help but yell, "This is impossible! Look again! I can still feel it. I can feel that I can control my fingers, really! Look again!"
After hearing this, the doctor said to him, "Then move a little, let me see."
Li Zeliang quickly moved his fingers, then looked at the doctor with expectant eyes, but the doctor still shook his head. "It's not moving. Captain Li, you just have a phantom limb. You thought you could still control it, but in reality, it hasn't moved. Your condition is quite serious, but the sanitary conditions here don't allow it, and we can't perform surgery here. We need to return to the operating room at Sunshine Base as soon as possible."
Li Zeliang, however, could no longer listen. He sat there in a daze, his entire being seemingly lifeless. Without his hands, even if he could still use his supernatural powers, they would be significantly less effective than before. This time, he'd lost his team, his sister, and both his hands. Even if he upgraded to Level 4 as he wished, who would support a psychic without both hands? Furthermore, his relationship with Pei Shu was over, and so too was his career.
Zhuang Zitao and Pei Shu on the side were still gloating at this time, but this time they did not sit together to laugh at Li Zeliang. The relationship between the two of them had dropped to freezing point after they blamed each other, and it was impossible to return to the friendship they had before. So after being rescued, the two sat far away, and even hated each other in their hearts why they did not starve to death like Li Lan, and they were so lucky.
But at the same time, they hated Yu Ziyin, Meng Yu and the others the most. They hated them for actually leaving them here and not caring about them. It was so heartless. They didn't know about Yu Ziyin and the others using pinhole cameras yet. If they knew, they would have no time or mood to hate Yu Ziyin and the others. Instead, they would have to think about how to bear the wrath of the Zhang family.
After recovering, Pei Shu asked the team leader who had come to look for them, "Did you meet Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng?"
She also tried to ask, thinking that Yu Ziyin and the others might have left the hotel, but were still wandering around this city? If she knew they were still nearby, she would definitely take her men back and kill them, giving them a good beating. Among them, Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei, she would kill them if she found them, because they actually betrayed her and didn't come to rescue her when she was tied up. Damn traitors! Even if she couldn't catch them and let them escape with Meng Yu and the others, she would take action against their families after returning to the base to relieve the hatred in her heart.
But unfortunately, the team leader shook his head and said, "No."
At the same time, he also expressed his doubts, "Miss, were you attacked by outsiders this time? Otherwise, why would you be tied up here? Also, where are the Zhang brothers and sisters and Miss Fang? Were they taken somewhere else?"
Even though he knew that many people were missing from Li Zeliang's team, their purpose in coming out this time wasn't because of Li Zeliang's team, but because of these powerful young masters and young ladies. The base was worried and frantic because these young masters and young ladies had been missing for a long time. So when the captain saw that only Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao were there, some bad thoughts came to his mind, but he thought, maybe things weren't that bad after all?
Pei Shu's face changed when she heard the question, but she quickly came up with an excuse and said, "Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng teamed up with outsiders to harm us. They also killed the Zhang siblings and Fang Yujiao, but I don't know where their bodies are."
Pei Shu knew that if she said this, if the Zhang family investigated further and found Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng who went to the Dawn Base, and learned the truth, her lies would be directly exposed. But she just didn't dare to face such a big mistake, and thought that she could delay it for a while.
It will definitely take a long time for the Zhang family to find Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng. After all, they only have a target but no destination. It will take a long time to search blindly. During this period, as long as she can let her father take action as soon as possible and secretly kill Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng to silence them, she will be able to conceal this matter without anyone knowing.
She wasn't afraid someone would accuse her of lying after she said this, because there were only three of them left alive. Li Zeliang had gone mad and wouldn't care what she said, and even if Zhuang Zitao knew she was lying, he wouldn't be stupid enough to expose her lies. As for the defectors Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei, like Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng, she had labeled them traitors in front of everyone. How could she trust their words?
This is also because Pei Shu believes that Meng Yu and others have no evidence in their hands, so she dares to be so confident. If she knew that Zhou Wei and Zhang Yu were approaching the Zhang family with evidence in their hands at this time, she would definitely not dare to make up such a story.
At that moment, after listening to what Pei Shu said, the captain's face looked very ugly, but it was not because he found out that Pei Shu was lying, but because of the death of the Zhang brothers and sisters. He didn't pay much attention to Fang Yujiao who also died. The Fang family did not say anything about the search operation, which showed that Fang Yujiao was not favored in the Fang family, and the Fang family's influence was not very large, so the captain really didn't feel anything.
But the Zhang brothers and sisters were different. The Zhang family had very few descendants, and in this generation, they only had these two phoenix eggs in their hands. They were willing to let them out this time because Li Zeliang's team was so powerful, so they let them leave the base without worry. Unexpectedly, they died like this, and they died in the collusion between the internal team and outsiders. It is conceivable that when the Zhang family knew about it, there would be a bloody storm.
What makes the team leader feel fortunate now is that the children of the base commander and the deputy base commander are fine. If something happened to these two people, even if he just came out to look for them, he would be accused of dereliction of duty because of his slow search, and he would probably be demoted from this position and would never be able to be a captain again.
After questioning Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao again about Yu Ziyin and the others, the team leader wrote up a report, waiting to submit it to his superiors later so they could issue a wanted notice and complete his own mission. He then told everyone to rest for a while before heading back to Sunshine Base.
Zhuang Zitao and Pei Shu were very excited to hear that they could return to Sunshine Base.
Wouldn't they be so excited? This time out was really a lot of suffering, especially the few days locked up here, it was just too painful. After returning to the base, they never came out again. What experience and seeing the world are all bullshit, it's better to stay in your own golden nest and enjoy the real thing.
