Chapter 199 The Collusion
Chapter 199 The Collusion
Xiahou Shuo, who has always loved beauty and paid attention to appearance, didn't like the scars on his face and body, but he didn't try to remove them.
He would regard these scars as a lesson, and constantly remind himself who was responsible for his current situation.
After listening to Xiahou Shuo's story, Mu Xin felt a sense of melancholy.
It is true that it is difficult to change one's nature.
He thought Xiahou Shuo was Ming Xiche's true love, a treasure that he cherished in his hands. But in the end, Ming Xiche just squeezed out all his usefulness and then threw him away.
It’s just that Xiahou Shuo is a little luckier than I was back then. I was isolated and helpless back then, but in his critical moment, there were people willing to lend a helping hand and save his life.
Yan Shaohui seemed to know what Mu Xin was thinking. He calmly held Mu Xin's hand that was hanging on the sofa and told him that things were different now. He had him by his side and was no longer the lonely Mu Xin.
"Mu Xin, you are absolutely right. I saved you for a purpose. I think you two are smart people, so there is no need for us to explain this purpose." Xiahou Shuo said, ignoring the two people's blatant display of affection opposite him.
"You want Ming Xiche and Xiahou Yunjie to die?" Yan Shaohui raised his eyebrows. Judging from Xiahou Shuo's hatred towards the two of them, this is probably what he thought, right?
But Xiahou Shuo's answer was beyond his expectations.
"Death? There is nothing more liberating in this world than death." Xiahou Shuo curled the corners of his mouth. The facial features on his ugly face became distorted and unnatural because of this smile, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Of course they cannot die. There are nearly a hundred people in the Xiahou family, and in the end some died and some were disabled. I will settle these accounts with them one by one." Xiahou Shuo's bright eyes were filled with dark hatred and bloodthirstiness, as well as a hint of madness.
In order to avoid future troubles, Ming Xiche, after conquering the Xiahou family, actually used various excuses to clean out the people of the Xiahou family. When he couldn't find any reasons, he secretly sent people to cripple them and throw them into the zombie pile to clean them out.
Although Xiahou Shuo was angry at those clansmen who turned against him at the critical moment of battle, he was even more furious when he saw Ming Xiche's inhumane behavior.
What's more, he had learned about his father's death through various channels, and Ming Xiche and Xiahou Yunjie had played a lot of tricks in it.
The revenge for their father's murder, the hatred for the extermination of their clan... How could Xiahou Shuo let them die so easily?
"Since you said so, let's be honest." Mu Xin sighed and said when he saw Xiahou Shuo's almost crazy look.
"We entered the base in disguise this time to investigate something."
"what's up?"
Yan Shaohui picked up the water cup, dipped his finger in some water, and drew a sign on the table.
This symbol is a replica of the scarlet markings found on the back of the necks of zombies and soldiers within the base.
"Have you seen this mark?"
"I have. Three years ago, Xiahou Yunjie developed a microchip that can be implanted into a person's body by marking a red mark on the back of their neck, thereby controlling them. But later there was a problem with the chip, and the effect was not very good." Xiahou Shuo frowned, "However, this mark has always been on the soldiers in the base. How did you know?"
"We encountered SSS-level zombies when we were on a mission before. They all had this mark on the back of their heads." Yan Shaohui said.
When Xiahou Shuo heard what Yan Shaohui said, he knew that the matter was much more serious than he had imagined.
"There is this mark on the back of the zombie's head?" Xiahou Shuo frowned and thought for a long time before asking, "When did you find it?"
"A few months ago. Since then, we have found the same red mark on the same part of the zombies almost every time." Yan Shaohui took out a folded brown paper bag from his pocket, "Then we learned from the spies at the Yagura base that this mark came from here. So in order to find out the inner meaning of this mark, Xiao Xin and I took the risk to come here."
Mu Xin expressed his guess: "In fact, Shaohui and I both guess that these marked zombies are under some kind of control."
Xiahou Shuo showed an expression of disbelief on his face, "Do you think Ming Xiche and Xiahou Yunjie are behind the manipulation of those zombies?"
I have been observing their movements over the years, and they have always followed the routine without any abnormal behavior. Logically speaking, the problem should not occur to them.
"I'm not sure." Mu Xin shook his head. He observed Xia Houshuo's expression. "But you seem to be very sure that the people behind the scenes are not them."
"After all, no one has paid more attention to their movements than me in recent years." Xiahou Shuo said self-deprecatingly.
Suddenly, something flashed through Xiahou Shuo's mind, and his intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
He said, "Oh, now I remember that Ming Xiche has been arresting residents of the base in secret and overtly recently. I don't know what he is trying to do."
Arresting residents? What is this operation?
Yan Shaohui was a little confused, "Ming Xiche is fine, why are they arresting residents?"
Mu Xin's mind emerged the things that Ming Xiche and Xiahou Yunjie did in their previous life after they colluded with each other.
Mu Xin's heart sank, and suddenly he felt a very bad feeling rising from the soles of his feet, with a bone-chilling chill that made him shiver.
Could it be...
Xiahou Shuo noticed that Mu Xin's expression was a little dull, as if he was thinking about something. He tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you think of something?"
"One is a scientist without professional ethics, and the other is an extremely selfish and ambitious person. What do you think will happen when these two people get together?" Mu Xin looked straight at Xiahou Shuo and said in a loud voice.
Xiahou Shuo couldn't figure it out at first, but when he thought about those key words over and over again, two people who he had remembered all his life popped up in his mind.
"Are you saying that Xiahou Yunjie and Ming Xiche are doing something with ill intentions?"
"I guess he captured the residents of the base mostly for human experiments." Mu Xin narrowed his eyes, his face cold, "When Shaohui and I were observing around the base, we not only found the residents who had escaped, but also found many zombies gathered around the base. Now that I think about it, the source of those zombies should be closely related to what they were planning."
Xiahou Shuo's eyes were obscure and he thought to himself that this was the secret that the man had been hiding from him, and in the end he lost his life for it.
Xia Houshuo didn't have time to think too much. He looked at the two people opposite him and asked, "What should I do now?"
Yan Shaohui tapped the table lightly with his hand and thought for a long time before he came to a conclusion.
