Chapter 186: Doubt

After a moment of silence, Xiu Wu turned to look at Huang Yihang and said, "Thank you, Leader Huang, for your help. We will take our leave now."

Seeing that Xiu Wu had finished interrogating Lei Jiamin, Zhu Lin stood up and followed him out. Before leaving, Xiu Wu looked back at Lei Jiamin and cut off her other hand with his space blade.

Thud.

For a vicious woman like her, losing her hands is a good thing for innocent people. The moment the door closed behind Xiu Wu, Lei Jiamin felt her hands were cold and lowered her head. When she saw the severed hand, she fainted on the spot.

Looking at the mess on the floor, Huang Yihang stood up and said calmly: "Clean up the mess and make sure Miss Jiamin is not dead. I will send her back after she recovers."

The guards nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Huang."

After leaving the presidential suite, Huang Yihang glanced at his assistant and said, "Investigate the woman who came with Captain Xiu today. In addition, I want you to find out everything about their new base."

The assistant wrote down his order and said, "I will do it right away."

After leaving the hotel building, Zhu Lin looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "Xiu Wu, do you know the person who sent the assassin?"

Xiu Wu nodded and answered calmly: "Mhm. I also know that the real target he wants to kill is not you, but me."

"Why? Do you have any grudges with him?" Zhu Lin asked curiously.

After hearing her question, Xiu Wu thought for a moment and said, "If this could be considered a grudge, it might be because I had rejected his offer to work for him three months ago."

After listening to his explanation, Zhu Lin understood and said, "This is indeed not easy for you. Even for someone as powerful as you, it won’t be easy to fight against them."

Xiu Wu reached out to hold her hand and smiled, "It’s not easy for them to kill me too."

When the two of them left the Lie Huo Base, Lei Haozhan saw them from a distance. He didn’t approach until they were far away from the gate of Lie Huo Base. Seeing him coming, Tu Tu came out of Zhu Lin’s sleeves and waved to Lei Haozhan.

Lei Haozhan looked at the cute rabbit with a smile, then looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Miss Zhu, have you finished handling the matter here?"

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Yes. We found that the person behind my assassination should have a relationship with you, Young Master Lei."

Hearing what she said, Lei Haozhan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked doubtfully: "Really? After I escaped from the secret laboratory, I never had any contact with humans at all until I met you, Miss Zhu."

Zhu Lin thought for a while and asked, "Young Master Lei, do you know a man named Lei Tiliang?"

As soon as she said these words, Lei Haozhan’s body trembled. He looked at his own trembling hands in surprise and said hesitantly: "... It seems that I do know him, but I can’t remember anything about this person since I lost almost all of my memories when I was a human."

After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Miss Zhu, do you know who he is?"

"I only know that he is the paternal grandfather of a woman named Lei Jiamin. Xiu Wu also said that he has tried to recruit him before. The assassination attempt was probably aimed at him. As for why those people attacked me instead, I don’t know the reason." Zhu Lin answered calmly.

Hearing her answer, Lei Haozhan turned to Xiu Wu and asked, "Do you know who Lei Tiliang is, Young Master Xiu?"

Tu Tu knew that Xiu Wu couldn’t understand him, so the rabbit kindly became their translator. After listening to Tu Tu’s translation, Xiu Wu nodded and said, "This Lei Tiliang is the current patriarch of the Lei family. As far as I know, this Lei family is one of the richest families before the end of the world. But I don’t know much about them after the end of the world."

When Lei Haozhan heard that the man who could make him tremble even when he couldn’t remember his past was the current patriarch of the Lei family, he fell silent.

With doubt inside his mind, he smiled at the two of them and said, "Thank you for letting me know about this. It seems that I can’t go back with you, Miss Zhu. Let’s meet again if we have a chance."

After saying that, he nodded to Xiu Wu and disappeared from there. The moment he disappeared in front of them, Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin looked at each other. It seems that this zombie named Lei Haozhan should be at least a fifth-rank zombie.

Zhu Lin was a little curious, so she looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "Xiu Wu if you and Lei Haozhan fight, can you win against him?"

Xiu Wu thought for a while and said, "Maybe. But it won’t be easy for me to win against him because zombies have physical advantages over humans. While humans can still feel pain and fatigue, zombies don’t have these weaknesses. As long as they don’t lose their crystal nucleus, they can fight forever."

Hearing what he said, Tu Tu nodded and thought: ’That’s right. Although the Devil God has recovered his memory, he is still a mortal in this world and cannot exert his full power. Otherwise, Lei Haozhan would be crushed to death by the Devil God with one finger.’

After hearing his answer, Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "I see. Fortunately, he is not a bad zombie."

Xiu Wu looked at her and said, "We can’t be sure about that. Zombies need to eat human flesh to upgrade their rank, while humans need to absorb crystal nucleus to upgrade their rank. Ultimately, zombies and humans can’t coexist because we hunt each other to survive. If Lei Haozhan cannot control his instinct to hunt humans, he will become our biggest threat."
