Chapter 55: Investigating the Murderer

"Dean Andong Ao, are you also going to look for Vice Alliance Leader Gu?"

Qin Qiang knew Andong Ao’s purpose. The two had chatted for a long time, but Andong Ao kept beating around the bush, so she simply laid it out on the table.

Everyone’s goal was the same; ostensibly they were going to find Gu Xian, but in reality, they were going to find Geng Qianxing.

Geng Qianxing went missing, and even an idiot knew he had been captured by the Gene Alliance.

Ding Huan from Yujiang University had taught three students with such heaven-defying results; Geng Qianxing couldn't possibly know nothing about it.

It was precisely because Geng Qianxing knew that the Gene Alliance had struck first.

She didn't dare to touch Geng Qianxing casually, but now that the Gene Alliance had, she had to hurry over and ask about the situation.

Qin Qiang had reminded the Gene Alliance to capture Ding Huan; Ding Huan hadn't been captured, and now Geng Qianxing had been captured.

She had to figure out exactly how much Geng Qianxing knew, so she wouldn't end up not getting a single drop of soup in the end.

If she really obtained benefits from Geng Qianxing, she wanted a share.

Andong Ao chuckled. "I heard Alliance Leader Shi left Puhai to handle matters. I wonder if it has anything to do with that Ding Huan?"

"Hehe..." Seeing that Andong Ao still wouldn't answer her question and was still giving non-answers, Qin Qiang chuckled and walked into the Dongxun Gene Center building on her own.

Could she not know where Shi Changyi went? Still putting on an act.

This guy was clearly a European, yet his way of speaking was exactly like an old bureaucrat.

Seeing Qin Qiang go in, Andong Ao could only follow.

"What’s going on?" Qin Qiang looked at the two security guards lying at the entrance of the Dongxun Gene Center building and frowned.

"What’s going on? This is from fusing with the Seliu Gene agent," Andong Ao replied.

Qin Qiang said, "I know they fused with the Seliu Gene agent, but this happened a while ago.

With the efficiency of our Gene Alliance, it’s inexcusable that the corpses at the entrance haven't been dealt with by now."

After speaking, Qin Qiang accelerated and rushed into the building. There was no one on the first floor of the building; she couldn't even see the person guarding the front desk.

Qin Qiang’s heart sank; she vaguely felt that something had happened to the Gene Alliance. This didn't serve her interests, and besides, she was also a member of the Gene Alliance.

"Go to the top floor." Andong Ao also sensed that something was wrong.

The Seliu Gene agent had problems, and right now there were people dying everywhere because of this agent.

However, the Gene Alliance was different; the Gene Alliance would definitely have pacified the situation at the first opportunity, and it was impossible for no one to have come to clean up the mess at the entrance after such a long time.

The elevator soon took the two to the top floor.

The top floor was also empty, with only the lights in the conference room seemingly still on.

There were also two people lying at the entrance of the conference room, clearly dead.

Andong Ao arrived at the conference room door in almost one step and opened the door.

A faint bloody scent permeated out, and the sight that met their eyes left Andong Ao and Qin Qiang somewhat stunned.

"Could it be that they all fused with the Seliu Gene agent?" Andong Ao knew he was stupid as soon as he asked this.

"Hehe, can’t you see that others were shot and killed by blades?" Qin Qiang was very disdainful of this guy’s intelligence.

Andong Ao walked to Gu Xian’s side and pressed his finger on Gu Xian’s face; Gu Xian’s face felt like rotten mud.

Andong Ao hurriedly withdrew his finger and muttered, "This is definitely not the state of death from the Seliu Gene. Could it be that the gene chain collapsed? It doesn't look like it; it seems like poisoning."

Qin Qiang also walked around and said solemnly, "Except for a few who died because of the Seliu Gene agent, the rest were all killed."

"Who would dare to come here to kill?" Andong Ao was confused.

Daring to come to the Gene Alliance headquarters to kill? Were they tired of living?

"I saw you talking to a medicinal herb merchant outside the Dongxun Gene Center building earlier. Who is he?" Qin Qiang suddenly asked.

Andong Ao suddenly realized and then said:

"It must be this guy. I felt a faint murderous aura on him, which is why I stopped him. I didn't expect you to come looking for me at that time."

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry and find this person." Qin Qiang snorted.

She suspected that Andong Ao wanted to shift the blame onto her.

"Where would he go?" Andong Ao asked subconsciously.

Qin Qiang frowned and could only say, "This person raided the Gene Alliance; he must want to leave Puhai immediately. We just need to go to the various train stations in Puhai to search."

She suspected that it was definitely too late to go to the train station now, but as long as she said this and took action, it showed that she was also actively working for the Gene Alliance.

Ding Huan was currently extremely anxious and wished he could immediately head to Yiling City in Anjiang Province, which was the address of Qu Yi’s home.

As for Geng Qianxing’s matter, it could only be pushed back for a while.

Before the people from the Gene Alliance obtained the real method to practice the Thousand-Lace Gene Art and Basic Long Fist, Geng Qianxing was safe.

If he hadn't met Andong Ao, he would have killed all the high-level officials of the Gene Alliance at the Dongxun Gene Center building, and this news shouldn't have leaked out because he had wiped them all out.

Ding Huan only hoped that Andong Ao and that woman surnamed Qin would chat for a while longer and preferably not enter the Dongxun Gene Center building.

Once these two people entered the Dongxun Gene Center building, the fact that he had killed the high-level officials of the Gene Alliance would be exposed immediately.

Although he had disguised himself, he hadn't left Puhai yet.

Ding Huan wanted to leave immediately, but he was worried about Qu Yi; he had to take a train in Puhai.

To get to Yiling City in Anjiang Province, taking a train from Puhai was the fastest way. If he left Puhai now, it would take him two more days to reach Yiling City.

Knowing that it was very dangerous for him to wait for the train at the station now, Ding Huan could only risk this danger and continue to wait.

He had disguised himself again, not only changing his bag but also turning from a lone medicinal herb merchant into a student who had failed the Puhai assessment.

From Puhai to Yiling, one needed to go to Jingchuan City first, and then take a car from Jingchuan to Yiling City; this was the fastest way.

The train was still an hour away. Ding Huan sat in the waiting room, looking somewhat disappointed on the surface, but in fact, he was constantly concerned about the changes around him.

He only hoped that Andong Ao wouldn't come over. What if Andong Ao came over?

Ding Huan didn't want to consider this question, but now he had to.

On the train to Luohe, Geng Qianxing had dull eyes, with one person sitting on each side of him.

It was he who told the Gene Alliance that there was still some data on endurance genes hidden in Luohe.

These were just things he made up; the data on endurance genes, except for what was in his notebook, was all in his head.

The reason he led the Gene Alliance people around in circles was to let Fang Chong and the others complete their assessment.

As long as Fang Chong and the three completed their assessment and joined one of the top ten Blue Star Academies, the Gene Alliance would have no way to continue targeting them.

The journey to Luohe City was only halfway through when a Gene Alliance member sitting next to Geng Qianxing suddenly began to convulse, then his throat made "uh-uh" sounds, and the next moment his face began to twist, and then his facial features began to bleed.

"Gu Zhao, what’s wrong with you?" Another Gene Alliance member also hurriedly bypassed Geng Qianxing and came to his companion’s side.

His companion couldn't answer him and fell into the aisle.

Geng Qianxing was also puzzled. Had this guy’s illness suddenly flared up?

Soon Geng Qianxing knew that this wasn't an illness flaring up; two other people in the carriage were experiencing the same situation.

A certain virus outbreak?

Geng Qianxing was startled, and then he saw Boss Quan, who was eagerly observing his companion. This guy was no good.

Since there was such a good opportunity, if he gave it up, in Ding Huan’s words, he would deserve it.

Ding Huan had said more than once that he wasn't suitable for survival in this chaotic world and was only suitable for doing scientific research in a prosperous age.

Doing research on endurance genes—with his, Geng Qianxing’s, little survival ability, he was just harming himself.

Now wasn't he proven right by Ding Huan? No, in this chaotic world, he, Geng Qianxing, wasn't a soft persimmon either.

Thinking of this, Geng Qianxing didn't hesitate anymore; he stood up and struck Boss Quan’s neck with a palm blade.

Geng Qianxing had also practiced for several months and now had strength close to that of a Level 1 Gene Cultivator.

With such a blow, let alone Boss Quan, even a real Level 1 Gene Cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Boss Quan let out a muffled groan and then fell down.

At this moment, the carriage was in chaos. Not only the carriage Geng Qianxing was in, but other carriages were also experiencing the same situation. Who would care about Geng Qianxing’s situation?

Geng Qianxing looked at the unconscious Boss Quan on the ground, his heart undergoing an intense ideological struggle.

Kill or not kill.

If he wanted to kill the other party, now was the best opportunity; otherwise, it would be too late.

If he didn't kill this Boss Quan, could he just escape first?

Soon Geng Qianxing knew that if he didn't kill Boss Quan, escaping now would be like putting a shackle on himself.

Looking at the chaotic carriage, Geng Qianxing gritted his teeth and punched Boss Quan’s death point directly. With the explosion of internal strength, Boss Quan only let out a muffled groan, and the whole person had no more life.

Geng Qianxing gasped for air; this was his first time killing someone.

If he didn't kill this Boss Quan, the next one to die would be him.

Not only would he die, but Ding Huan might also be lured to Luohe City to die.

He wanted to prove to Ding Huan that in this chaotic world where fierce beasts were rampant, I, little Geng, can also survive.

No one cared that Geng Qianxing had killed someone; now more than ten people had suddenly died on this train.

This wasn't the end; the number of people dying suddenly was still increasing.

At this moment, all the carriages were in chaos. In the eyes of others, this situation was a virus outbreak.

The crowd rushed to the train doors, shouting for the train to stop, and then rushed out of the train.

Some people started smashing the train windows.

Just as the chaos was completely uncontrollable, a broadcast sound came from the carriage,

"I am Lou Xin, the conductor of this train. Please keep quiet, all passengers. This incident is not a virus, but passengers who fused with the Seliu Gene agent are experiencing genome collapse.

It is a problem with the Seliu Gene agent, it has nothing to do with a virus, it has nothing to do with a virus, it has nothing to do with a virus..."

The conductor repeatedly emphasized that it had nothing to do with a virus, which finally calmed everyone down.

Soon everyone found the common point of these dead passengers: they had indeed all fused with the Seliu Gene agent.

Geng Qianxing broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for Ding Huan’s reminder, his mother would have been harmed by him.

Having calmed down, Geng Qianxing decided to go to Luohe first. After arriving in Luohe, he would first find a way to give Ding Huan a heads-up, and then take his mother away from Luohe to find a safe place to live in seclusion.

Then he would work hard to cultivate the Thousand-Lace Gene Art and improve his strength.

Geng Qianxing didn't know that he was very safe now; let alone looking for trouble with him, even he himself wouldn't be thought of by the Gene Alliance for a short time.
