Chapter 596: The Other Party's Probing

After hearing Yingzhou's reply, Heertui asked with a look of confusion.

Strange; after he had established contact with Ji Bu previously, there were indeed many promising warriors in the Ninth Defense Zone, but in front of that warrior called Yingzhou, they all seemed far too ordinary.

Among the people Li Feiyu mentioned as having potential, that Yingzhou should not be included; based on the timeline, if Yingzhou were still alive, he would at least have become a high-level official in the Ninth Defense Zone, and his strength should have improved significantly.

"So, how is the Ninth Defense Zone's power to resist the Alien Race holding up now, especially when dealing with elite Alien Race units that require high-combat-power individuals to resolve? I wonder if they can handle it."

"Not many, just two. One is called Angron, and the other is called Vulcan Vulkan."

Heertui had expected to hear the name he was looking for, but he hadn't expected that Yingzhou would not be among the high-combat-power individuals.

Does that mean that Yingzhou is already dead? The Human in the prophecy holding a flaming Greatsword was indeed not him!

Seeing that he had already obtained quite a bit of useful intelligence, Heertui, in order to avoid arousing Li Feiyu's suspicion, smiled and spoke.

"Then I won't disturb Councilor Li Feiyu's rest any longer; we shall talk in detail once you have rested well. If you have any needs, just find the staff here."

"Alright, I understand, thank you for your trouble."

After Heertui left, Yingzhou did not let his guard down; it was very likely that this room contained Alien Race creations monitoring him, and he could not reveal any flaws, lest he alert the enemy.

When he gathered his Spiritual Power into his eyes, Yingzhou's pupils lit up with a pale golden glow, seeing through all the disguises in the surroundings.

The bed, which looked clean and tidy, was actually dilapidated and ruined, and there were some uncleaned flesh tissues wriggling by the bedside.

The entire room reeked of a nauseating aura; Yingzhou took a deep breath and slowly sat down on a chair that looked relatively clean.

Upon sensing Yingzhou's Spiritual Power Fluctuation, the wriggling flesh on the chair retreated like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Eh? Are they afraid of me?"

Discovering this, Yingzhou did not expand the range of his Spiritual Power Fluctuation and began to observe the room calmly, discovering that an eyeball was staring at him.

That must be the Alien Race creation monitoring me, right? Let me go take a look over there.

Yingzhou stood up from the chair, and the faint Spiritual Power Fluctuation radiating from his body kept these wriggling pieces of flesh from daring to approach him; this eyeball was disguised as a mural, and the eyes of the figure in the mural were exactly the disguise of this eyeball.

Separated by green energy, the eyeball stared at Yingzhou without any avoidance, clearly unaware that it had already been discovered.

"Hmm, this mural doesn't look good placed here; I'd better take it down!"

Yingzhou raised his voice slightly and reached out to take down the mural, placing it on the balcony outside the room.

After confirming that there were no other Alien Race creations monitoring him in the room, Yingzhou sat back down on the chair, thinking about how he should investigate next.

What can be confirmed about the situation in the Sixth Defense Zone now is that it has indeed been occupied by the Alien Race, but why was no signal of its fall sent out?

It couldn't be that the high-level officials of the Sixth Defense Zone forgot to send a signal of the fall, could it?

The information he currently knows is still too little; the only thing to be thankful for is that there is a possibility of completing Task 2.

Furthermore, these Alien Races are also inquiring about news regarding the Ninth Defense Zone, but with the current strength of the Ninth Defense Zone, resisting their attacks should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou couldn't help but lightly press his right hand against his chin, take a deep breath, and mutter to himself.

"It seems I must complete Task 2 as soon as possible, so I won't have to rack my brains like this."

After leaving a few Hou warriors behind, Heertui, who had left the guesthouse, went to find the White-robed Bishop.

"Lord Bishop, the intelligence on the Ninth Defense Zone has been updated quite a bit; we must re-examine the current Ninth Defense Zone.

The Ninth Defense Zone, which has been able to resist the Demons and has not been wiped out by the Zerg while they took the opportunity, must have corresponding methods.

We must gain complete control over this Li Feiyu, and in this way, we can logically take control of the Ninth Defense Zone once again."

The White-robed Bishop looked at Heertui, pondered for a moment, and then asked Heertui.

"That Li Feiyu does not seem to have completely let his guard down; he just moved our monitoring mural away. For the next few days, your task is to make him lower his guard and make him a Puppet that completely accepts our control."

"As you command, Lord Bishop!"

After leaving the room where the Bishop was, Heertui checked the time.

"It's time to deliver dinner to Li Feiyu; let's send him some local specialties from the Sixth Defense Zone!"

Speaking of this, a strange smile curled at the corners of Heertui's mouth.

Yingzhou was standing on the balcony observing the situation outside when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, followed by rhythmic knocking.

"Councilor Li Feiyu, it is dinner time. Lord Heertui specially had us prepare some meat soup for you."

Hearing this, Yingzhou almost couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It's truly a weasel wishing a chicken a Happy New Year—with no good intentions.

He straightened his sleeves with his right hand, walked slowly to the door, and opened it.

He saw a strange figure wrapped in green energy standing at the door, holding a rusty tray, from which a strange energy fluctuation was emanating.

Yingzhou dispersed his Spiritual Power, and everything before his eyes returned to normal.

A waiter dressed in exquisite clothing stood before the door, holding a gold-rimmed tray with a signature smile on his face.

"Councilor Li Feiyu, this is the nutritional soup specially provided by our Sixth Defense Zone."

The waiter explained to Yingzhou with a smile, and Yingzhou put on a look of surprise and said to the waiter.

"Councilor Heertui is truly thoughtful; please express my gratitude to him on my behalf."

Yingzhou prepared to take the tray from the waiter's hands, but he saw that the other party had no intention of handing it over.

"Councilor Li Feiyu, this soup is complex to brew. Lord Heertui is worried that you might not know the correct way to consume it, so he specifically instructed me to assist you. You only need to wait patiently and enjoy the delicacy."

Yingzhou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, inwardly slandering the situation.

It seems he won't give up until he watches me drink the meat soup he sent; this meat soup must be strange. Let's see what the situation is first.

"Alright then, come in!"

Yingzhou nodded and let the waiter carry the tray into the room.

"This is brewed using the unique ingredient of the Sixth Defense Zone—the Long-jointed Centipede; the taste is extremely delicious."

The waiter placed the tray on the coffee table and reached out to open the pot lid engraved with exquisite patterns.

The moment the lid was lifted, countless meat balls the size of pearls floated in the emerald-colored thick soup, each meat ball emitting an alluring luster under the saturation of the soup.
