Chapter 221: You

Seeing Lu Wang's respectful attitude, Pu Lie nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't go monitoring anymore for now; that Yingzhou is at home, and it's very easy to be detected. I just triggered the seeds inside those two scouts, and they won't leave any traces behind. If he can come to the Inner City because of this matter, it will save me a lot of trouble."

"My lord, that Yingzhou is going to search the Production Zone tomorrow, seemingly because the presence of the Zerg has appeared in the Production Zone."

Lu Wang spoke up again at this moment.

"Oh? The Zerg actually appeared in the Production Zone managed by Jack? What kind of tricks are the Zerg planning this time?"

The leisurely expression on Pu Lie's face gradually disappeared, and he asked Lu Wang.

"The Zerg hid an energy fluctuation that can corrode the spirits of Human soldiers within the material supplies, and they also covered it with Spirit Patterns; under normal circumstances, no one would be able to detect it."

After hearing Lu Wang's report, Pu Lie gave a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth, "These Zerg really have no brains at all. It seems that the Ninth Defense Zone is destined to fall into the hands of my master after all. How did those people in the Military District discover it?"

"It was the Legion that Yingzhou belongs to that reported this situation to Ji Bu. Ji Bu immediately opened the supplies that had not been transported to the front line to search them. At first, he didn't find anything, but Ji Bu quickly found the method the Zerg used to hide it, and subsequently notified all the Legions on the front line. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and this batch of material supplies was not used by the front-line soldiers."

"Hmm, this Ji Bu really is as stable in his performance as ever. It seems I must find a way to get rid of him; otherwise, when my master descends, Ji Bu will also be a trouble. At least this time, Ji Bu can be considered to have helped my master guard this piece of land, so when the time comes, it's not impossible to give him a chance—a chance to join us."

Hearing that the Zerg's scheme had been seen through, Pu Lie also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Humans are much easier to deal with than the Zerg. If he let the Zerg occupy the Ninth Defense Zone, wouldn't his master have wasted so much energy in vain? He himself would inevitably be abandoned by his master.

"My lord is merciful."

"Hmm, if there's nothing else, then withdraw."

Seeing that Lu Wang did not speak, Pu Lie assumed he had finished reporting the matter and prepared to let him go out.

"My lord, that Yingzhou seems to be supporting a child among the homeless children in the Outer City. Do we need to pay special attention to it?"

After listening to Lu Wang's words, Pu Lie waved his hand impatiently, "A stray child, what is there to pay attention to? If there's nothing important, then get out."

"Yes, my lord."

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

As Mother Ying walked out of the bedroom with Vulkan, she saw Yingzhou sitting cross-legged on the living room carpet, and a flash of heartache crossed her eyes.

"Xiaozhou, why are you here? Did you rest here all night?"

Upon hearing his mother's voice, Yingzhou slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

"No, I just came out too."

Hearing Yingzhou's words, Mother Ying pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but a pile of words reached her lips and turned into, "You must pay attention to rest, don't wear out your body."

Although Mother Ying did not know what had happened last night, the door to the house had been opened several times last night; the sound was very soft, but Mother Ying had heard it.

Seeing his mother's appearance just now, Yingzhou also slowly stood up from the floor and said softly to Mother Ying.

"I know, Mom, I'll be fine."

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City Airport.

Compared to its usual busyness, the airport was somewhat quiet today, and several soldiers were whispering to each other in discussion.

"With the problem in the material supplies this time, will we be affected here too?"

"Nonsense, that's for sure. The material supplies we transported here didn't even detect this abnormality; the Chief will definitely yell at us in charge."

"Sigh, there's no help for it. The Alien Race's methods this time were indeed very hard to detect. If it weren't for Chief Ji Bu discovering the Alien Race's methods, we would definitely be in chaos now because of the material supply problem. If the Zerg attacked us then, wouldn't we be very passive?"

"How do you think Chief Ji Bu discovered the Alien Race's methods?"

"I don't know, but this isn't the first or second time Chief Ji Bu has been like this. Every time we are confused, he points out the direction. He is worthy of being a man who can be called a Councilor!"

"Hey, look, is that the famous person in the Military District recently? Seems his name is Yingzhou."

"That's right, it's him!"

"Why would he come here?"

Just as the few soldiers were discussing, Yingzhou walked up to them and asked.

"I'm looking for Will, is he here?"

A soldier with dark skin and a scar on his neck asked Yingzhou.

"What are you looking for our Deputy Minister Will for?"

"That is not a question you should be asking; you only need to tell me where he is."

Yingzhou replied in a cold tone, which, combined with his nearly 2.8-meter height and strong body, made the few soldiers in front of him swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.

"He... he is in his office, right in that simple house over there."

The soldier pointed with a trembling voice toward a simple house at the edge of the airport in the distance. Seeing this, Yingzhou spoke.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Have you felt that there is anything abnormal here recently?"

The few soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing this, Yingzhou stopped lingering and walked straight toward the office where Will was.

After Yingzhou left, the few soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. The soldier who had just spoken to Yingzhou patted his chest with his right hand and let out a heavy breath.

"This man must be very strong!"

"Nonsense, just that pressure from a moment ago made my hair stand on end."

"I didn't think much of it when I heard people in the Military District talking about him before, but seeing him this time really opened my eyes."

Yingzhou arrived in front of Will's office. Looking at his own head, which was already taller than the simple house, Yingzhou had to knock on the door with his hand. The window that had originally been covered by curtains was opened, and a fat man with a bare upper body, a round face, and eyes squeezed very small by the fat on his face opened the window and cursed loudly.

"***, didn't I tell you guys that no one is allowed to bother me these few days without my orders? Are you... uh... what do you want with me?"

The originally furious Will, upon seeing the nearly 2.8-meter-tall Yingzhou and looking at the other's strong muscles, saw his voice's decibel level drop to a low point instantly.

"I am Yingzhou. I came to ask you about the Zerg tampering with the material supplies yesterday. It's not convenient for me to go in, so why don't you come out and talk to me?"

Watching the change in Will's voice, Yingzhou revealed a sympathetic smile at the corner of his mouth and said.

"O-okay... please wait a moment."

After Will replied with a stutter, he closed the window, nimbly put on his military uniform, and walked out of the office.
