Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Becoming the Subject of Suspicion

Ye Xuan, after hearing the commander-in-chief’s words, opened his mouth somewhat helplessly: "Does the commander-in-chief think that this can stop the game?"

"Of course, just shooting won’t be likely enough, which is why I had the action team rush to the hospital in Tianmeng City right away, organizing the medical staff to form a research team, including my wife, who also joined in," said the commander-in-chief with a smile.

"You mean... Dudu’s mom joined the medical team?" Ye Xuan was surprised.

The commander-in-chief nodded: "After the death game started, my wife was trapped in First Hospital of White Cloud City, but fortunately, she was unharmed.

After our people arrived, they brought over the surviving medical staff and formed a research team that has already started researching the Evil Dragon."

Research?

Ye Xuan’s heart jolted.

In this instant, Ye Xuan truly admired the commander-in-chief, because after the death game had started, in such a short amount of time, the commander-in-chief had come up with such a method to stop the death game.

If their research team could indeed successfully uncover the secret of the Evil Dragon, wouldn’t it be possible to stop the death game as well?

"The commander-in-chief is admirable, but it is impossible for you to stop this game," said Tang Xuerou, who had been silent by the side until now.

However, her words not only surprised the commander-in-chief, but also stirred up excitement among those next to him, including Zhou Shan.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Are you questioning our commander-in-chief’s judgment?"

"This one is clearly just a high school girl, she definitely doesn’t understand anything."

...

"Young lady, what do you mean by what you said?" The commander-in-chief, unlike his subordinates, wasn’t agitated but instead looked at Tang Xuerou seriously and asked.

Tang Xuerou smiled: "I mean exactly what I said, you can’t stop this game."

Ye Xuan turned to look at Tang Xuerou, wondering if this young girl had any emotional intelligence at all. They were on someone else’s territory, was it really appropriate to speak so directly?

"Hey." Ye Xuan lowered his voice as a reminder to Tang Xuerou.

Before Tang Xuerou could respond, an urgent knock came from outside.

The commander-in-chief turned his face and gestured for Zhou Shan to open the door, and Zhou Shan nodded and strode over to pull open the door.

"Commander-in-chief, Captain Zhou Shan, something’s happened," said the person who came in, panting.

"What happened?" Zhou Shan frowned, the person’s complexion was very poor, and the fact that he interrupted during the commander-in-chief’s meeting suggested it must be something serious.

The panting person caught his breath before continuing: "At the aid station, someone has mutated."

"What?" Zhou Shan’s face turned pale as soon as he heard it.

The commander-in-chief stood up following Zhou Shan, and everyone’s expressions turned grim.

Their aid station had been fine before, but after Ye Xuan and his team arrived, a mutant appeared. Undoubtedly, Ye Xuan and his team would become the subjects of suspicion.

"How could this happen?" The faces of the people around changed accordingly.

"I know now, it’s you." Zhou Shan turned his face and pointed at Tang Xuerou, "You were just over there saying that it couldn’t be stopped. Did you have a hand in the troubles at the assistance station?"

Tang Xuerou spread her hands helplessly, "If it really were me, I’d have slipped away by now. Why would I stay here to be caught by you? You’d better look into whether anyone’s gone missing from the assistance station."

The Regiment Commander looked deeply at Tang Xuerou and then turned to Zhou Shan, "Zhou Shan, no point in talking now. Take some people over and subdue the mutated ones, and... check the staff at the assistance station too."

"I understand." Zhou Shan acknowledged and quickly left.

At this time, He Yalan stood up, her gaze fixed on Tang Xuerou: "Even if you’re not directly involved in this matter, you should know something about it."

"Dark Shadow, he’s at the assistance station," Ye Xuan raised his head and said to He Yalan.

"You mean... that Dark Shadow who took away Brother De, he’s in the assistance station?" He Yalan widened her eyes upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words.

Ye Xuan nodded, "When we arrived at the assistance station and saw him, it was a surprise, but he was indeed there."

"This Dark Shadow you’re talking about, who exactly is he?" the Regiment Commander asked after hearing their conversation, puzzled.

"Here’s the thing, Commander, we previously encountered a group of mutants who had eaten the flesh of evil dragons and underwent mutation. After defeating them,

one of their group was taken away by someone called Dark Shadow, who is level nineteen strength, and also happens to be in your assistance station..."

Upon hearing what He Yalan said, the Regiment Commander seemed to recall something, clapping his hands suddenly, "I remember! Indeed, a level nineteen person came here.

At the time, we were all puzzled as to why a level nineteen person would come here, but he said he was a salted fish, only recently realizing our place was so pleasant, and he wanted to just stay here taking it easy..."

"Moreover, this person has helped our action team deal with a few evil dragons and everyone felt his abilities were noteworthy, so we let him stay."

"This Dark Shadow is not simple. The mutation incident at the assistance station could very well be his doing," He Yalan stated.

The Regiment Commander fell silent for a couple of seconds, then swiftly took out his walkie-talkie and spoke to Zhou Shan, "That level nineteen young fellow we chose to keep around earlier, check him out thoroughly."

"Received."

After ending the conversation, the Regiment Commander pinched the bridge of his nose; the peace he had worked so hard to secure had been disrupted all too quickly.

Ye Xuan watched the Regiment Commander’s furrowed brow and felt a particular empathy for him in that second.

The death game forced everyone into having no choice; the Regiment Commander was simply doing his best to protect those unwilling to face the realities of the game.

But now, it seemed the Regiment Commander could no longer achieve that.

Ye Xuan turned and looked at Tang Xuerou, who was eating a lollipop, seemingly unconcerned with everything happening.

How infuriating.

Ye Xuan reached out, pulled Tang Xuerou over, stood up, and walked outside, "Commander, we’ll go too; maybe we can be of some help."

"I’ll join you," He Yalan stated.

"You stay here and take care of Dudu," Ye Xuan said.

He Yalan originally wanted to accompany Ye Xuan and the others, but with trouble at the base and the Regiment Commander possibly leaving any moment, she indeed had no choice.

"Yalan, please take care of Dudu. You two stay in my office and don’t go out," the Regiment Commander also stood up at this time, "I must go out and take a look myself."

"Boss, I... I don’t understand what you all are saying?" Ke Feng scratched the back of his head.
