Chapter 491: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-One: It’s Actually Him

Rong Yuan had grown a lot taller than a month ago, now even surpassing Su Jin in height.

Rong Yuan hadn’t expected Su Jin to make a surprise visit. He quickly stood up from a pile of broken parts, greeting Su Jin with a somewhat flustered expression.

Her eyes were as warm and tender as they had always been when she smiled.

“You’ve gotten so tall, looking like a big young man,”

Su Jin said, her voice filled with relief.

At that moment, Rong Yuan’s heart brimmed with joy; no one had ever shown him such concern. Although Brother Banzi and the others were nice to him, he just felt that Su Jin was different.

“Cough cough cough,”

a discordant series of coughs came from beside a car, followed by a girl, covered in grime, who quickly grabbed a faded plastic cup and handed it to the person coughing.

“Ze, you have a cold and need to drink more water,” Moli said with concern.

The man accepted the cup and drank a few sips without a word, gradually stopping his coughing.

Did the mechanic shop take in new people?

Su Jin and Lu Hao both wondered, as the faces and clothes of the two strangers were so dirty it was impossible to discern their original appearance, and their looks didn’t seem to fit in with those working at the mechanic shop, did they?

Seeing the questions on their faces, Rong Yuan tried to explain: “They don’t have money for food or a place to stay, so Brother Banzi lets them spend the night in the mechanic shop and help out during the day.”

Both of them understood, realizing they were down-on-their-luck survivors, and likely knew a thing or two about repairing cars otherwise Ban Xiaobo wouldn’t have kept them around.

At that moment, Ban Xiaobo and the others noticed Su Jin and Lu Hao outside and hurriedly came out to greet them.

“Lu Hao, sister-in-law, when did you guys get back? You were gone for so long this time,”

Ban Xiaobo said happily.

“We just got back. We went looking for stuff and ended up farther away than we realized,”

Lu Hao replied with a smile.

“It’s good you’re back. The weather’s been getting colder and colder; we were even suspecting it might snow,”

Ren Feipeng and the others said. However, despite Su Jin and Lu Hao’s long absence, they seemed as spirited as ever, indicating they probably hadn’t encountered too many dangers.

“Yeah, we noticed the weather turning bad and hurried back,”

Su Jin said while looking at everyone.

During the conversation, Tian Liao quickly invited them inside to continue talking, as it was too cold to chat outside. Being merely a normal person, he felt the outside air was bone-chillingly cold.

Although Su Jin and Lu Hao felt it was bearable, they still entered the mechanic shop.

At the entrance of the shop, a wind-proof curtain had been installed at some point. Despite the open door, the inside was indeed much warmer than outside.

The coughing outside resumed non-stop, prompting Ban Xiaobo to sigh and call the two people in as well.

“You can work on the assembly here; I’m really worried you might cough up pneumonia,”

Ban Xiaobo said to Lian Ze and Moli.

“Cough cough, no, I won’t. I’ve already been vaccinated with the full-valued pneumonia vaccine abroad; none of the known pneumonias on Earth will affect me,”

Lian Ze said earnestly, lifting his head.

Su Jin also caught a glimpse of the man’s appearance, but she only thought he looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, yet she couldn’t recall where.

“Alright, you’ve been abroad, I see. Moli, still, make sure Lian Ze takes care. If it really gets too much, just lie down and rest for a while,”

Ban Xiaobo shook his head and said.

“Brother Banzi, what did you just call him?”

It was only when Ban Xiaobo approached that Lu Hao asked.

“His name is Lian Ze, and let me tell you, these two are really something, driving a flashy car from E city to S city without a penny to their names just to find someone. Now they’re in a pitiful state, unable to kill zombies and without a soul to turn to. A couple of days ago when I was opening the shop, I found them sleeping at the car dealership’s doorstep. It’s a miracle they didn’t freeze to death; I took pity on him because he was taken away and detained for two days by the Security team because of us, so I kindly let them stay here.”

Ban Xiaobo spoke as if a flood of words had been released, but he didn’t notice the increasingly serious expressions on Su Jin and Lu Hao’s faces.

“I’m sure it’s him,”

Su Jin whispered to Lu Hao.

When Ban Xiaobo mentioned the name Lian Ze, she remembered where she had seen him. He was standing in front of Luo Hui and Su Xiangmei that time on the negative first floor of the research institute!

“It’s not just that, I think this Lian Ze is a madman, always following Xiao Rong Yuan around, wanting to research on our Xiao Rong Yuan, which is incredibly annoying.”

Xu Chao continued.

He didn’t like Lian Ze much; he always felt there was something off about the man, with all his talk of research, reminiscent of dissection studies he had seen in old movies.

“He said he wants to research on Rong Yuan?”

Su Jin’s expression instantly turned ugly.

“Yes, yes, he’s said it not a hundred times then at least eighty,”

Xu Chao replied.

After hearing this, Su Jin stood up, her Wood Element Ability agitated and ready.

Although she didn’t know much about this man, just knowing he was the former director of the E city research institute, and remembering the horrific research institute devoid of any humanity, as well as his words about researching Rong Yuan, she felt an urge to kill him immediately to prevent future trouble.

Lu Hao, however, held back Su Jin.

“You said, he was taken away by the Security team before?”

Lu Hao continued to ask.

Ban Xiaobo and the others were somewhat taken aback; why did Su Jin look like she was about to kill someone? Had this Lian Ze offended them?

Seeing Lu Hao raising the question again, Ban Xiaobo still detailed to him and Su Jin everything that had happened since they encountered each other.

“Does this Lian Ze have issues?”

Gao Lei leaned in and whispered, although he was still fixated on that flashy car. But if both Su Jin and Lu Hao said there was a problem with him, he wouldn’t take sides either.

“He was the director of the E city research institute, where they conducted human experiments. We’ve seen live humans there injected with the Zombie Virus,”

Su Jin’s words shocked everyone, even Rong Yuan, who recalled how Lian Ze had hovered around him for two days, felt a chill in his heart.

“Damn it, what the hell did we pick up?! I’m going to kick them out right now!”

Immediately, Ban Xiaobo made a move to stand up and chase them out.

“We don’t know their purpose for this trip yet, and since they’ve been taken away by the Security team, and that car is still detained, they may have already attracted the attention of the base. Let’s go find someone first before we decide what to do,”

Lu Hao still thought it best to keep a low profile, as blowing up the wall of the base’s housing management center was not something you would be released for after just two days of detention. It was very possible that Liang Jiuhui and his team had also noticed these two individuals.

“Who should we find? Liang Jiuhui?” Su Jin asked.

Lu Hao shook his head and said, “Pei Yuan.”
