Chapter 302: The Purpose Is Very Simple

Ninth Defense Zone Inner City.

Pake held a Controller in his left hand, looking at the ordinary youth standing before him; the youth wore white experimental clothing, his skin pale, his eyes vacant.

Meanwhile, Pake's right hand was slowly growing and recovering; strand by strand, flesh and blood grew rapidly under Pake's will, eventually forming the shape of an arm.

"Those soldiers' weapons are too terrifying. If it weren't for that environment, I likely would have already died. My body is still slowly adapting to this process; I need more flesh and blood to grow stronger. And Subject 001, you should have a bigger stage, rather than being studied by people inside that Research Institute."

"Woo~~ woo~~"

The alarm of the Inner City sounded; the piercing siren made the residents of the Inner City somewhat panicked, and they each hurriedly hid inside the nearest buildings, seeking shelter.

The soldiers of the City Defense Force were also stunned by this situation; one soldier straightened his somewhat messy military uniform and began to ask his colleague beside him.

"What happened? Why does the atmosphere feel so tense?"

"Damn, how would I know what the situation is?"

"I heard it was an order personally issued by Councilor Pu Lie, telling us to cooperate with the Military District Chief to search for the traitor, Councilor Pake, in the Inner City."

"Councilor Pake? Isn't he one of the nine members of the Council? How did he become a traitor?"

"Who knows? Just wait for instructions."

These City Defense Force soldiers were arguing and discussing until a cough interrupted their discussion.

"What are you doing here? First Platoon, assemble!"

A middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache shouted loudly at this group of City Defense Force soldiers.

After a commotion, the soldiers of the First Platoon stood in formation, waiting for the man to speak.

"Councilor Pu Lie has ordered! Begin a carpet search of the Inner City; not a single corner can be missed! You must find the traitor Pake. He is carrying a dangerous Biological Weapon; if you encounter him, you can take action directly—even killing him is no problem!"

"Yes!"

Inner City Landing Pad.

Just as Yingzhou stepped off the aircraft, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a black uniform, with a small scar on the right corner of his mouth, regular features, and his hair tied up, walking toward this side.

"Hello, Chief Yingzhou, I am Councilor Pu Lie's attendant—Lu Wang, responsible for accompanying you to find that Human Alliance traitor."

Lu Wang walked up, extended his right hand, and looked up to say to Yingzhou.

"Please express my gratitude to Councilor Pu Lie for me; thank him for agreeing to let me enter the Inner City."

Yingzhou extended his own broad right hand and said politely to Lu Wang.

"That is a matter of course; I will convey your gratitude."

Under Lu Wang's guidance, Yingzhou left the Landing Pad; along the way, Yingzhou noticed that Lu Wang did not seem to care about his own physical condition like others did.

One must know that even his own mother or Lu Zhenda had to adapt for a period of time before they got used to their own height.

However, this was the first time he had seen a situation like Lu Wang's, but since this was someone else's business, Yingzhou did not want to ask too much.

But the silent atmosphere between the two was somewhat awkward, so Yingzhou had to cough lightly and say to Lu Wang.

"Ahem, what is the situation in the Inner City now? I seem to have heard an alarm."

Lu Wang turned his head, nodded to Yingzhou to signal, and then replied.

"To prevent the traitor Pake from causing slaughter in the Inner City, Councilor Pu Lie sounded the alarm, letting the residents of the Inner City hide in their homes; this is also conducive to our search for Pake."

Hearing this, Yingzhou's impression of Pu Lie changed a bit; although this guy had some personality issues, he was doing quite well regarding the Inner City's defense.

Just then, the short-range Communication Device on Lu Wang's wrist emitted a light; after Lu Wang tapped it, he heard a hurried voice.

"Councilor Lu Wang, this is the First Platoon. We have discovered a person suspected to be Pake in the Chaona District of the Inner City; he is currently Devouring a Zerg!"

In just a few sentences, Yingzhou felt an astonishing amount of information.

Traitor, Zerg, Devour.

These words made Yingzhou feel a bit bewildered for a moment; it seemed that besides the Demon that Ji Bu had mentioned, the Inner City was quite lively now—all sorts of monsters and ghosts were present.

"Lu Wang, let's go to the Chaona District and take that traitor down directly!"

"Of course, in order to avoid causing greater damage to the Inner City."

After Lu Wang nodded to Yingzhou to signal, he continued, "It is not far from here to the Chaona District; we will need 20 minutes to arrive."

Walking down the Inner City Wall, they took a truck from the City Defense Force; Yingzhou and Lu Wang sat in the back of the truck, and under Lu Wang's signal, the truck driver drove toward the Chaona District.

"Do you know that there are Zerg in the Inner City?"

Lu Wang smiled, looked up at Yingzhou, and answered with a smile.

"Chief Yingzhou, only a small number of us know about this situation. Although we also went to clean up those filthy Zerg at the first opportunity, just like the Zerg in the Outer City, even though they are constantly being cleaned up, those Zerg have not completely disappeared.

The Inner City is the same, and the Inner City is even more of a place those Zerg want to invade, because the Inner City can reach the high-level officials of the Ninth Defense Zone. If they can control a high-level official, it will allow the Zerg to collapse the Ninth Defense Zone from the inside.

Therefore, Councilor Pu Lie has been working hard to maintain the order of the Inner City, constantly searching for the hidden Zerg, wanting to eliminate those filthy creatures, for the sake of... the Ninth Defense Zone."

"Pu Lie is actually such a person; I thought he would be very difficult to get along with."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yingzhou's mouth, his right hand resting on the truck's guardrail, and he said in a light tone.

"After this crisis is resolved, you can meet with Councilor Pu Lie; I believe your meeting will definitely be very pleasant."

Hearing Lu Wang say this, Yingzhou smiled, "That is natural; I would be very happy to."

Soon, the truck arrived at the Chaona District; Yingzhou looked at the Chaona District—compared to the Outer City, the living facilities here were clearly more complete, more like the living area that ordinary people expected.

After the two got off the truck, several City Defense Force soldiers hurried to Lu Wang, saluted Lu Wang, and said.

"Councilor Lu Wang, after that Pake devoured that Zerg, he blended into the darkness and disappeared. The people we sent to track him also encountered an attack by an unknown creature; it should be the Biological Weapon that the traitor Pake is carrying."

After hearing this, Lu Wang nodded, extended his right hand, and introduced to everyone.

"This is Yingzhou, a Chief of the Military District. He has come to the Inner City this time to capture the traitor Pake. If there is a need, you must cooperate with Chief Yingzhou's work!"

Yingzhou was currently sizing up these City Defense Force soldiers; they gave him the feeling of being new soldiers without much combat experience, but considering that these were Pu Lie's subordinates, he stopped thinking about it, nodded to everyone, and said.

"It's nothing, no need to be so reserved. My purpose is very simple: to prevent the residents of the Inner City from being harmed by the traitor, and also to let the traitor know the consequences of betrayal."
