Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Act First to Gain the Upper Hand

The moment he heard the sound, Xiong Kang closed his mouth.

Lu Zixun also jumped from the sink to the bed, feigning sleep.

"Captain Xiong."

A young man, tall and handsome, dressed in a combat uniform, appeared in front of the iron door.

Lu Zixun stretched out a paw and patted Xiong Kang’s back.

Xiong Kang moved slightly to the side, making room for Lu Zixun to see the person outside the door.

This person was not Lin Zihua, whom they had seen at the door earlier, and Lu Zixun breathed a sigh of relief, half-closing his eyes, ready for a nap.

"How’s the situation at the base now?"

Without sensing any movement behind him, Xiong Kang casually asked the person standing at the door, Xie Da.

"Captain, you know I can’t talk about that."

Xie Da looked uneasy, quickly pulling out two large white steamed buns from his combat uniform, "Captain, you haven’t eaten anything since you went out, I’ve brought you some food."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun opened his eyes again, looking at the two large white steamed buns, feeling quite emotional.

However, Xiong Kang did not get up to take them but looked at Xie Da very seriously, "Xie Da, what you’re doing is very dangerous, do you understand that!"

Watching Xie Da, who jumped at Xiong Kang’s words, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment and then understood what Xiong Kang meant.

If Xiong Kang had really been parasitized by abnormal creatures today,

Xie Da’s actions would not only harm himself but also could kill everyone in the base.

Clearly, Xie Da, standing outside the iron door, understood this as well.

He tightened his lips, holding back tears, and opened his combat uniform, which was filled with "firecrackers."

"Captain, I’m prepared."

After buttoning up his combat uniform, Xie Da took a deep breath, "Captain, you’re like a brother to me, and I was thinking, if the Captain were parasitized, I couldn’t let the Captain’s body be used for evil by the abnormal creatures!"

"Yi."

Lu Zixun, who was covered in goosebumps because of these words, jumped out from behind Xiong Kang.

Grabbing a steamed bun with one paw and holding another in his mouth, he returned to Xiong Kang’s side.

He tossed the steam bun from his paw onto Xiong Kang’s lap and began to eat.

"Ding—Detecting +500 doubt value from Xie Da."

Lu Zixun, who was eating the steamed bun, cast a sidelong glance at Xie Da.

Murmuring to himself, "Haven’t you ever seen a cat eat a steamed bun? Making such a fuss."

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Xiong Kang fell silent for a moment before sighing, "Don’t do this next time, if I’m really parasitized, you should not seek mutual destruction but instead grow stronger and avenge me, do you understand?"

"Got it!"

Clenching his fist, Xie Da earnestly promised Xiong Kang.

"All right, go back now."

Putting the steamed bun in his mouth, Xiong Kang waved Xie Da away.

"Young man, watch out for that guy named Lin Zihua."

Having finished the steamed bun, Lu Zixun licked his lips and said to Xie Da as he turned to leave.

"Ding—Detecting +500 horror value from Xie Da."

Turning back with wide eyes staring at Lu Zixun, Xie Da stuttered, "Did... Did you just talk?"

"Hahaha!"

Watching the expression on Xie Da’s face, Lu Zixun laughed so hard he rolled on the floor.

"Okay, stop teasing him."

Kicking the laughing Lu Zixun with his foot, Xiong Kang looked at Xie Da with a helpless face, "It’s also a member of the system, codename Orange Cat."

"Ding—Detecting +500 admiration value from Xie Da."

After saluting Lu Zixun, Xie Da earnestly said, "Alright, Orange Cat boss, I’ll definitely pay attention to Lin Zihua!"

Listening to the gradually receding footsteps, Lu Zixun, who had just picked himself up from the ground, seemed clearly bemused.

How did he suddenly gain a little fanboy?

Seeing the expression on Lu Zixun’s face, Xiong Kang could hardly contain his laughter, "I didn’t bring my phone, or else I would definitely take a picture of your current expression and make an emoticon pack to post online."

"If you dare to post it, you’re dead meat!"

Lu Zixun came back to his senses and said viciously to Xiong Kang before jumping beside him and asking, "Hey, why did I suddenly gain a little fanboy?"

"Because you have a codename."

Xiong Kang said calmly and after a moment of thought, added, "The Lin Zihua you just mentioned, is he the one infested by the Abnormal Biological Parasite?"

"Right."

Lu Zixun, who was lying on the bed licking his fur with his tail wagging carelessly, said, "Should we wait for the old man to come, or should we take the initiative and go check out the base members?"

"That’s definitely..."

Pausing for a second, a glint of sharpness flashed in Xiong Kang’s eyes as the Mother and Child Dual Swords unsheathed and he pushed open the iron door, "Take the initiative."

"I still wanted to sleep a bit more, I’ve almost gone a day without sleep."

Murmuring his complaint, Lu Zixun jumped onto Xiong Kang’s shoulder.

"After the mission is over, you can sleep as long as you want."

As soon as Xiong Kang finished speaking, he retracted the Mother and Child Dual Swords and headed outside.

"You guys from STO never keep your word, you said the same thing during the last undercover mission."

"Was that undercover? You almost defected, you little bastard, you can’t even tell who’s good to you."

"Ha ha ha, you old man, you’re just jealous that women are nice to me!"

The two of them bantered as they walked outside.

At this moment.

The base was eerily quiet.

Lu Zixun sniffed; the strong smell of gasoline almost suffocated him.

But besides the smell of gasoline, there was no other scent.

"Where’s everyone?"

Not only did Lu Zixun feel something was off, but Xiong Kang also furrowed his brow slightly, the base was unnaturally quiet at this time.

"Meeting?"

Tilting his head, Lu Zixun spoke, unable to think of another reason.

"Possibly, let’s take advantage of the quietness and go check out where the detectors are placed."

Taking a left turn, Xiong Kang led Lu Zixun into another passage.

Just after they left, a sneaky figure appeared outside the solitary confinement corridor.

The so-called location where the detectors were placed was actually similar to a garage with just one door inside.

There was also someone there constantly adjusting the detector.

Lu Zixun tilted his head and activated Heavenly Eye to take a look.

"Ding! The host has detected a biological species, human, with a strength level of War Trash, the host can beat them up effortlessly, if the host cannot, then the host might as well hit himself with a block of tofu and die."

"Person."

Ignoring the system’s teasing, Lu Zixun whispered into Xiong Kang’s ear.

Xiong Kang nodded slightly after some thought and walked in without hiding.

The person adjusting the detector heard a noise, turned his head abruptly, and upon seeing the duo of a man and a cat, reached out to press a silver badge for assistance.

Luckily, Xiong Kang was quick-eyed and swift-handed, the sub-sword unsheathed and its flat side smacked the man’s hand, preventing him from pressing for help.

"Ding— Detected despair value from Lin Qiang +500."
