Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 79 The truth behind the material withholding incident

At 12:25 p.m., Lu Buer dressed up as an office worker, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a crisp suit, and carrying an exquisite briefcase. He stood at the zebra crossing and watched the traffic lights change.

"Don't move, the tie is not tied properly." Yuan Qing didn't need to dress up. She was dressed just right today, so she only needed to take this kid to the mall to buy a set of clothes.

I have to say that when she helped tie the tie, her expression was quite gentle.

 But the movements of his hands were very rough.

 “My neck will be broken by you, sister.”

“Shut up, who was that woman just now?”

 “Do you want to change the subject so quickly?”

"explain!"

 “Longque’s adjutant, I treat her as father and daughter.”

 “Father and daughter? What does this mean?”

Yuan Qing was born in the new world and has not experienced the Internet era five hundred years ago. Therefore, many concepts are relatively traditional and she does not understand those bad jokes.

Lu Fuji didn't know how to explain it to her, so he had to change the subject: "Let's go. Speaking of which, this outfit is really expensive. It actually cost me ten merit points."

 Even though he usually spends a lot of money to purchase cultivation resources, he doesn't feel any distress at all.

  But for this kind of living material, ten merit points are already very expensive.

 “How can you sneak in if you don’t dress up like this?”

Yuan Qing hummed and said, "It's quite pretty."

A helpless voice came from the earphones: "Can you two hurry up?"

After a brief discussion, Longque believed that the current clues pointed to Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd., so they had to find out anyway. Therefore, after a simple division of labor in the alley, the four people were divided into two groups. Split up.

The first group was led by Longque and Qiangwei to check out the details of Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd. They had to go to the Commercial Administration Bureau on the edge of the Second Ring Road, about five kilometers away from here.

 The second group, led by Lu Fuji and Yuan Qing, disguised themselves and went straight to Huanglong.

Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was a big company before. Even though it experienced a crisis on the verge of bankruptcy, it was still revived with the injection of new funds. They were mainly responsible for studying organisms mutated by the sacred tree and extracting certain medicinal substances. of serum is used for medical treatment.

It is quite reasonable for this kind of company to be used as a trap for the Corpse Cult.

"You don't need a certificate to enter or exit Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd., but you need to register when you enter. Wear the special contact lenses I gave you. That thing can fool the pupil scan, and what is scanned out is another person's identity." Longque said calmly in the earphones.

 “That thing is precious, don’t lose it!”

Qiangwei also gave instructions in the earphones.

 It seems that these are common tools used by the Anomaly Supervision Bureau when handling cases.

Lu Fuji nodded slightly, feeling that his life experience value had increased.

Yuan Qing muttered: "You talk a lot."

"Nothing will happen to us here, but I'm still worried about you. If you don't have to reveal your identity, then listen to Lu Fuji. Once you encounter a situation where you need to reveal your identity, then please ask Major Hara Qing. You just got His apostleship can come in handy."

 The final instructions came from the earphones.

Shika Fuji was stunned: "What's the use of being an apostle?"

Yuan Qing said with a smile: "I'm afraid you will be jealous, so I won't tell you. If you really need that identity, you can see it with your own eyes."

 They were like office workers coming back from lunch and walking into the office building together.

 However, at this moment, an accident happened.

The receptionist who was supposed to be at the door was hiding in the corner and shivering. The staff who came back from outside also looked hesitant and frightened, and they didn't dare to go in.

Because the first floor of the building is full of robots from the Law Enforcement Bureau, the inspectors are looking around with photos and asking questions. Every staff member who is questioned has a face full of confusion and confusion.

Yuan Qing suddenly paused: "Don't go there."

This was the first time Lu Fuji saw her being so cautious: "What?"

In the reception hall on the first floor of the building, a young man with blond hair looked down at his watch. He was wearing a white suit and a pair of exquisite crocodile leather shoes. He had a sharp temperament like a knife edge, and was attracted by a large number of people. Robots and inspectors swarmed around.

A familiar guy nodded and bowed in front of him.

 It was Director Charles.

"The son of the Speaker, Lyman Russell. Since the downfall of the Long brothers eight years ago, he has been called the number one genius in Linhai City. He obtained the right to be crowned four years ago and is twenty-nine years old this year. , the fourth level of perfection," Yuan Qing explained in a low voice.

“Being taken seriously by you means that I’m not a straw bag.”

Lu Fuji said in a low voice: "The fourth level of perfection is a very high level."

"Of course he's not a straw bag. This guy actually has a pretty good character and treats soldiers well in the military camp. But he inherited his father's appearance, so he looks a bit like a straw bag aristocrat, a bit sanctimonious. This guy is going to the headquarters. As a hostage, I was discharged from the army.”

Yuan Qing snorted coldly: "Otherwise he will become my boss."

Lu Fuji nodded slightly: "I understand."

Yuan Qing pulled him: "The only obsession of the Russell family these years is to return to the headquarters. Because they feel that they have been unfairly treated. They want to prove that they are clean, but they have been There are frequent changes in the Holy Mountain, and as the loyal dogs of the third generation of the Holy Monarch, they can't get rid of the suspicion. "

She emphasized: "That's why they are so concerned about this matter. This is their only chance. Otherwise, it is impossible for people like Lyman to come forward to investigate this matter personally."

 Lu Buer thought that was the case.

Judging from the relationship between the third generation of the Holy Monarch and the Russell family, no matter what happens to the Holy Mountain, the latter will be the first suspect, and everyone will give priority to suspecting them.

 Every time something happens, everyone who is at odds with the Russell family can blame them.

 Most likely, this is what the high priest did.

 Otherwise, the high priest would not have been so strong before.

If they really did nothing, it would be a huge injustice.

 Only by completely resolving the Holy Mountain matter can the Russell family truly prove themselves.

 That’s probably the logic.

At this time, they saw clearly the photo in the supervisor’s hand.

 Actually, that’s not a photo at all.

But a portrait.

 Portrait of Annan.

"Mr. Lyman, we finally locked in this place through the testimony and evidence provided by the witnesses found at the military headquarters today, as well as the fiber residues and body tissues detected in the underground ruins. But this place seems to be just an ordinary biotechnology It’s just a company.”

Director Charles asked: "The senior leaders of this company are not here at the moment, but I have sent people to inform them to come over. If you want to ask questions, you need to wait for ten minutes."

Leiman hummed: "Let's go."

Director Charles waved and led the inspector and the robots into the elevator.

Leiman raised his sharp eyes and took one last look at the staff present. After confirming that nothing unusual was found, he took the elevator to the top floor.

Yuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief in the crowd: "Fortunately, I was not found."

"It has to be said that the City Safety Committee still has some tricks and can actually find this place. But they are missing some key information and may be slower than us."

Lu Buer waved: "Let's go."

Yuan Qing whispered: "Lyman didn't find anything, how can you check it?"

Lu Fuji shrugged: "I'm cheating."

 The reason why he was able to investigate the case was because of the dark matter in the palm of his right hand.

 When you notice others of the same kind, you will have the desire to eat.

 So he just needs to walk around in this building and wait for the dark matter to react. Although the zombie cultists have obvious signs of decay, it doesn’t necessarily mean where they rot. You can’t ask the entire city to wear no clothes just to catch this group of people.

 First of all, this thing is troublesome to implement.

 Secondly, you still have to check one by one.

Even if someone is hiding in the garbage, you won’t be able to find him at all.

 Hence Lu Fuji's dark matter became the only effective method.

 He named it, Beast Catcher.

When the staff returned to the company one after another, the siblings also scanned their pupils, registered their identities and entered the lobby. The receptionist thought they were here to discuss business, so they were very enthusiastic and introduced the building. structure, as well as floor distribution and product features.

They saw many specimens of mutated creatures along the way.

There are so many strange things that make people’s scalp numb.

"This is a mutated species of the Oriental cockroach. In the past five hundred years, it was called the Southern Giant Cockroach. After receiving the gift from the sacred tree, this creature has become larger than a cow. We extracted it from its body. There is a certain gene that can be used for beauty.”

"What you are seeing now is a mutant species of the huntsman spider. After its mutation, its size is comparable to that of an elephant. It is a huge threat to wanderers and scavengers living in the wilderness. We extracted genes from its body , which can theoretically regenerate a person’s severed limbs.”

“This is a new product purchased by our company, a mutant species of mosquito…”

Yuan Qing’s pretty face is pale. Sure enough, no matter how powerful she is, she is still a girl.

 It is really unbearable to see these things.

 “It’s so scary, this is really the end of the world.”

 This is the first time since Shika Fuji came out of his cocoon that he received such a big impact.

 But after seeing these things, he was really scared.

 Especially the giant cockroach.

 This thing is a specimen.

If this thing were alive, he could die on the spot.

If his life were a novel, then the protagonist would be scared to death by cockroaches in Chapter 79.

 “I’m going to use the toilet.”

Lu Buer turned around and ran away. This place was really not for humans.

"I am coming too."

Yuan Qing trotted along with him.

 At this moment, the dark matter in Lu Fuji's palm began to beat.

His steps paused and he looked left and right in front of the safe passage.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Qing saw that he looked wrong and asked.

 “There is someone here, and there seems to be a secret door.”

Lu Fuji walked close to the wall until the dark matter in his palm beat more and more obviously.

Yuan Qing’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise: “How did you know?”

 “I told you, I cheated.”

Lu Fuji waved his hand and concentrated on feeling the beating of the dark matter.

"right here!"

 He tried knocking in the corner, and sure enough he found the switch.

There is a living brick on the floor of the corridor of the safe passage. After opening it, it turns out to be a metal door. It is obvious that there is a secret passage behind the door, and I don't know where it leads.

 Lu Buer cannot be opened without a key.

 “Smart, little deer.”

At this time, Yuan Qing stretched out her hand: "Let me come."

Her white and tender palms were radiating terrifying heat, and the metal quilt was melted by her to create a large hole. You could vaguely see the dark space below and the ladder for people to climb.

 Sure, he is worthy of being a fire-breathing dragon.

The fire attribute is also very useful.

When the temperature subsided, the two of them looked at each other and realized that there was indeed a cave here, and it was most likely the hiding place of the Corpse Food Cult.

 “I’ll go down first.”

Yuan Qing got into the hole: "Follow me."

Lu Fujian hummed, and when he followed the woman in, he moved the living brick back and restored the floor to its original state.

 After the siblings landed, they became vigilant.

This seems to be a warehouse, and there are people whispering vaguely, as if they are worshiping something: "Sata, Abalua. Kuhei, Sararuha."

Lu Fuji was groping in the dark warehouse. There should have been a large amount of goods piled here not long ago, but now it has been emptied, and the ground is full of footprints and scratches.

 Only a few metal boxes were left on the ground.

 At this moment, Yuan Qing was stunned.

 “Military supply box?”

She was taken aback.

Lu Fuji turned around suddenly and found that these boxes were really military supplies.

Even with the logo of the military department!

At this moment, his mind exploded.

 I immediately thought of the incident of withholding supplies from the military camp.

"Yes, why are there such a shortage of supplies on the front line? Where did those supplies go? What's the use of the supplies if the big shots in the military took them away? They must find a place to sell the stolen goods, but the size of the underground black market is obviously not enough , the largest number of poor people have no right to life evolution, and they cannot afford those things." Lu Fujie vaguely discovered the truth.

The middle-aged official of the Enforcement Bureau said that Hengxing Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was brought back to life only by a sudden capital injection, and there was something obviously wrong with the accounts.

Does this mean that the funds for the activities of the Corpse Cult are these military supplies?

Yuan Qing's beautiful eyes almost burst into flames. The soldiers on the front line were fighting with their lives on the battlefield, but behind the scenes, senior military officials transported these precious military supplies here.

 “Let’s go quickly, there are still goods to be moved.”

"This is the last batch. They will not provide us with new supplies. Those hypocritical and despicable guys have obtained our technology, but they want to kill us."

"This is the consistent style of those big shots. In their eyes, we are always invisible bugs who can be crushed to death at any time. Most of the compatriots we sent out to purify the environment were killed by them died."

"It doesn't matter. We are getting better now. They will not hunt us down anymore. Mr. Annan has their reasons. They are in a dilemma now. Don't they still have to do things for us?"

The corpse-eating cultists in the warehouse came out carrying supplies and sighed: "Let's go, send these things away quickly. Mr. Dongshan is still waiting for us, hurry up."

 With just a few words, Lu Buer understood everything in an instant.

I see!

Yuan Qing turned her head and glanced at him: "What did you think of?"

  Lu Fuji licked his lips: "The case has been solved."

  【Recommendation vote】

  【Monthly Pass】

The release time of this book is actually normal, it will be on the shelves probably next week. Many people think that it is not yet available on the shelves just because I updated a lot of words during the free period, which makes it appear that it was released late. After all, the structure of this book is relatively large, and there are still many things that need to be expanded on later, so I will let you read more in the early stage...
