Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 270 - Found! (3)
While people were desperately searching for him, he was hiding here and leisurely reading and drinking tea in a comfortable place.
Du Ruo said he had a special drug. Once people were injected with this drug, they would become invisible to zombies.
He and Du Ruo were the same. Zombies ignored them. They could freely roam amongst the zombies and easily go to places that other people couldn't.
This manor was densely populated with zombies and was a very dangerous place for ordinary people, which provided the best protection for him. It was as if he had hired hundreds of bodyguards.
Lu Xingchi was probably the only person that could clear out the zombies to reach here and find him in this zombie pile.
Judging on the route that Huo Ren had pursued him, he had been heading in the same direction as their team. He had probably come from S city, was also looking for a safe zone, and took a temporary rest stop when he reached here.
The man came out of the secret room, looked around to make sure there was no one in the room, and headed towards the door. He probably wanted to check what was going on outside.
Lu Xingchi and Bei Nuan looked at each other and pushed open the door.
The man was severely startled. He didn't expect that Lu Xingchi and Bei Nuan would return to the study. It was as if he had been caught red-handed.
However, he reacted quickly. He quickly calmed down and took out a gun. The gun was pure gold, and the handle was inlaid with diamonds. It must have belonged to the wealthy businessman and was found by the mysterious man.
He held up the gun with a calm expression. He wasn't afraid that a gunshot would attract zombies. Anyways, he was invisible to zombies. Even if the gunshot attracted a bunch of zombies, he wouldn't be bitten.
However, his opponent was Lu Xingchi. Things like guns didn't pose a threat to Lu Xingchi.
With Lu Xingchi's current ability, it didn't matter who was holding the gun. It was under his control.
However, Lu Xingchi didn't take action. Instead, he slowly put the crossbow down on the floor and raised his hands to eliminate the mysterious man's hostility towards them.
Lu Xingchi had laid down his weapon, so Bei Nuan hurriedly did the same. She put down the useless crowbar and placed it neatly next to his black crossbow to show her sincerity.
The man spoke. "Why did you come to my home? To steal?"
He accused them of theft first to shift the blame onto them. His tone, expression, and mannerism was calm and relaxed. He really looked like the rightful owner of the study.
If Bei Nuan didn't know that the manor belonged to Boss Yin, she would have been fooled.
The man continued to say, "Life isn't easy for anyone these days, so I'll let you guys off. Take your stuff and go."
Bei Nuan immediately felt that he wasn't a bad guy.
He was hiding the secret of the zombie virus inhibitor. There were so many people searching for him, especially that murderous lunatic Huo Ren, who didn't have any good intentions for what he would do to him once he was found.
He had a gun, and they were empty-handed. His best choice was to kill them to keep them from spreading his whereabouts. Anyways, he didn't have to be afraid that gunshots would attract zombies.
And yet, he didn't have that intention. He just wanted to scare them away.
Bei Nuan turned to glance at Lu Xingchi. He also had the same ideas as her. His sharp and chilly gaze softened a lot.
Lu Xingchi lightly answered, "This isn't your home. We know who you are. Do you remember injecting the zombie virus inhibitor into someone in Shui University? That guy is our friend."
There was a rare look of surprise on the man's face. He didn't expect Lu Xingchi to straightforwardly mention the zombie virus inhibitor.
The corners of his mouth faintly moved. Bei Nuan thought he was smiling.
He asked, "He told me that with the inhibitor, he could freely eat hot pot with others, so you're the people that he wants to eat hot pot with?"
That really sounded like something Du Ruo would say.
Bei Nuan smiled. "That's right.
The mood softened up a bit.
Lu Xingchi immediately said, "We don't have any ill intentions. We just want to ask for our friend if you have any more inhibitor doses? Our friend is infected with the zombie virus. Is there a way to cure him?"
The man didn't speak. With the gun in his hand, he appraised Lu Xingchi with his fathomless black eyes.
Bei Nuan wanted to raise her hand and say - we don't have to jump through the hoops. Leave this matter to me. I can do it!
With the Absolute Obedience ability, it was a piece of cake to force someone to tell the truth.
It would take forever for Lu Xingchi to engage in psychological warfare with him. She might as well use her ability.
Bei Nuan silently said the incantation, looked into the man's eyes, and asked, "We really don't have bad intentions. We just want to hear the truth. Just answer questions to the best of your ability. How about we sit down first?"
As expected, the man put down his gun, obediently walked over to the sofa, and sat down.
Lu Xingchi silently glanced at Bei Nuan. He didn't say anything and walked over to sit too.
Bei Nuan asked, "Who are you? Why are so many people looking for you? What's your relationship with LBD?"
The man nonchalantly replied, "I work for LBD."
Bei Nuan was shocked. "You work for LBD? You have the virus inhibitor. Does that mean the virus was leaked from your company?"
No, that couldn't be it.
Bei Nuan had seen the meteorite carrying the virus falling from the sky when she first transmigrated here. The novel had also said the virus was brought by meteorites.
