Chapter 1176: In the Plan
That high-level infected was practically seething with indignation, completely lost in his own arrogance.
"You must have seen it, right? Our abilities, you can't even resist humans, so you still expect help from others?" Ning Chen probed one step further.
The high-level infected raised his noble head: "I was betrayed by my own people. Besides, the King's power is a thousand or ten thousand times greater than ours! Something like this, he could break through in an instant!"
"Then what kind of power does your King have? Is it the same as yours?"
"I don't know either. To be honest, I've only seen the King act once, but it was truly too fast; I couldn't see a thing." This high-level infected seemed lost in memory, his expression filled with admiration.
"Then, since that's the case, are all your people in this City A? If so, isn't that a bit few?" Lin Yi suddenly thought of something from the side and quickly asked.
Fake Lin Yi glanced at Lin Yi and said disdainfully: "How is that possible? Every city has our people; our people are distributed all over the world!"
This statement made everyone look at each other; this was not a good thing at all.
Perhaps because this high-level infected answered every question, even Gu Yanqi dared to ask a question: "Then, then, do you have people in City F too? It shouldn't be, right? City F is a survivor base."
"Of course we do! And they are even the King's right-hand men! That base is far from enough for our King."
"Then where are those two people?"
As soon as Gu Yanqi finished speaking, the high-level infected frowned: "Don't think you can trick words out of me. I've answered enough; I won't open my mouth again from now on."
But this high-level infected didn't know that the information they needed had already been drawn out by several people.
Ning Chen nodded to Xiao Han, and Xiao Han immediately controlled the vines to pierce the high-level infected's skin and inject the sedative.
Before long, that high-level infected became dazed and fainted.
"It seems the situation is quite serious now." Huo Jinglin pondered the high-level infected's words; if such a high-level infected truly existed, then they probably wouldn't be his match.
"There probably isn't such a person. I think, could it be that he is exaggerating?" Lin Yi looked at this face identical to his own, finding it strange no matter how he looked.
"I think, I'm afraid not. Although he doesn't look very smart, precisely because of that, what he says has great authenticity." Huo Jinglin thought and said softly.
"No need to discuss; we'll take it step by step. The next target is City F. Of course, first we must put him back so they can fight each other."
Ning Chen stood up, then went to sit in the driver's seat. Seeing this, the others stopped discussing the matter.
Daybreak comes early, and with the sun's supply, those infected move much faster.
Ning Chen and Xiao Han needed to keep exploring the surroundings; at the very least, their abilities couldn't be withdrawn.
The abilities spread and spread around, yet still, they detected no trace of that group of infected.
"Wake him up and see; ask him what he wants to do."
"Huh? Brother Ning? Ask him? Will he really not betray us?" Lin Yi was somewhat reluctant; moreover, facing a face almost identical to his own made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Ning Chen said nothing, while Huo Jinglin dragged Lin Yi away from the spot.
Xiao Han adjusted his ability, and the vines that had originally released the sedative immediately released the antidote.
The high-level infected slowly woke up. His first words upon opening his eyes were: "I finally understand why I was unconscious for this period; I thought it was because I had eaten."
For some reason, Ning Chen always felt this high-level infected was very simple-minded, and at this level, he probably wasn't any better when he was human.
After all, although becoming an infected causes the mind to degenerate, it shouldn't degenerate to this extent; it degenerates based on the original foundation.
"We need you to help us get out." Ning Chen looked down at the high-level infected and issued an order to him.
"Sure, I know a place we can go to, but you must first help me eliminate those two!" The high-level infected gritted his teeth; he seemed to believe Ning Chen's words very much and was already utterly disgusted with his own companions.
This was an opportunity to eliminate two high-level infected at once; Ning Chen naturally wouldn't miss it, but he couldn't risk other people's lives.
"Fine, but only I and he can go to help you." Ning Chen pointed at Xiao Han and looked at the high-level infected.
That high-level infected looked somewhat hesitant: "Just the two of you, isn't that a bit few?"
"What are you thinking! Brother Ning and Xiao Han are each worth all of us combined; you actually think that's too few?!" Lin Yi looked at this high-level infected who was identical to himself in disbelief, questioning his words.
"Also, can you change into a different appearance? Your current look makes me feel very awkward." Lin Yi pouted, somewhat unwilling.
Fake Lin Yi looked completely confused: "I'm actually quite used to using your face."
Lin Yi, realizing the other was unwilling to change, shook with anger: "You, you, you, Brother Ning, look at him!"
Others look for "Mom" when they encounter trouble, while Lin Yi calls for "Brother Ning" when he encounters trouble.
Looking at Lin Yi cowering beside Ning Chen, looking aggrieved, Xu Yue felt a sense of indescribable complexity.
"Sister Yanqi, does Brother Lin Yi always act like this?"
Hearing Xu Yue's words, Gu Yanqi gave her a puzzled look.
"I mean, does he just always, whenever there's nothing to do, just look for Brother Ning?"
Gu Yanqi blinked her eyes; yes, after all, Ning Chen is the backbone of the team; looking for him shouldn't be wrong, right?
"Sister Yanqi, you, you've worked so hard!" Xu Yue, with a different train of thought, was now thinking that Brother Ning really acts like a mother, and Sister Yanqi works even harder; after all, if her own partner is constantly tied up, wouldn't that mean much less time spent with Brother Ning?!
Gu Yanqi, suddenly pitied: "……?"
Ning Chen glanced calmly at Lin Yi, then silently turned his gaze toward that Fake Lin Yi.
Merely by being looked at, that Fake Lin Yi felt a strong sense of threat.
Wow. Mom, this man is so terrifying.
Scared by this sudden surge of momentum, Fake Lin Yi quickly closed his eyes and began to alter his appearance.
Everyone stared unblinkingly at Fake Lin Yi.
Strangely, although the change was very slight, after a blink, it felt as if he was different from just now, yet one couldn't say exactly what was different.
In just five minutes, the high-level infected lying on the sofa had completely changed his appearance.
