Chapter 281 Secret
Chapter 281 Secret
Geng Miaowan, Xu Ruwen, and Huangfu Aohan held a small meeting in their minds. After Huangfu Aohan shared what he had found out, Geng Miaowan and Huangfu Aohan looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"You mean, someone is mass-producing vampires and mutants?" Geng Miaowan recalled the vampires and mutants that attacked them that night; their sheer number made it seem unlikely to be accidental.
So, what is their purpose?
"Yes, traces of vampires and super mutants can be seen throughout the country. These are definitely not simple. Moreover, I have carefully observed their distribution. They are all centered around cities and form an encircling pattern."
Geng Miaowan paced back and forth a few times, muttering to herself, "Surrounding the city, what are they trying to do..."
Or rather, what is the person behind the scenes planning to do?
She remembered Qiu Pi saying that the virus had spread from a laboratory in Arans, and that if it were just a simple spread, it shouldn't have reached this scale.
Perhaps, as Huangfu Aohan said, someone is deliberately creating infected individuals. That person must be very familiar with the virus and know exactly how it works and spreads.
Such a person must have had direct contact with virus research in the past. In other words, that person is very likely someone who participated in the virus research process and survived, and there is a high probability that he himself was also infected.
That day, Peng Yuxian asked Xu Ruwen to pass on a message, arranging to meet Geng Miaowan outside. They hadn't seen each other since that incident, and he was afraid of arousing Qiu Pi's suspicion.
When Geng Miaowan arrived at the agreed location, Peng Yuxian was already there. Beside him sat Ji Hongzhang, expressionless. He didn't even glance at her upon seeing her.
Peng Yuxian was still the same as ever, with a mischievous grin on her face. It seemed she had completely forgotten the time she nearly killed him last time.
"Do you have anything to show me?"
Ji Hongzhang suddenly stood up, grabbed Peng Yuxian's arm, and shook his head slightly. Peng Yuxian gave him a reassuring smile and said to Geng Miaowan, "Not here."
He led her to an extremely desolate place. Because it was night, she didn't know where they were, only that they were underground.
"Where is this place?" Geng Miaowan looked around curiously. Where did this passage lead?
Before Peng Yuxian could answer, they arrived at a spacious place. Standing at the entrance of the passage, Geng Miaowan was surprised by what she saw. "What do you want to do with me here?"
This place seemed even darker than the passage they had just entered through. As soon as Geng Miaowan stepped into this area, she felt a strange sensation. She unconsciously rubbed her arm, a chill running down her spine.
Peng Yuxian suddenly pinned her against the wall. "Tell me, what do you think I wanted to do by bringing you here?" he said, before giving her a light lick near her ear.
Geng Miaowan's heart suddenly leaped into her throat. Although Qiu Pi had told her earlier that he wouldn't be back that night, for safety's sake, she had left Xu Ruwen at the villa to take his place. She suddenly regretted that she had rashly come to this place with him. If he really wanted to do something to her here, she would be utterly helpless.
Her panicked eyes caught the mockery in his gaze, and she realized she'd been tricked. Slightly annoyed, she pushed him away, "You're crazy!"
“Your face has turned pale…” Peng Yuxian burst into laughter.
"What exactly do you want? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I don't have time to waste on your nonsense," Geng Miaowan said, turning to walk back.
Seeing that she was embarrassed and angry, Peng Yuxian stopped laughing and said seriously, "We'll be there soon."
Two minutes later, they arrived at a more spacious area. However, the light was still dim, but in this dim environment, there were some red spots, as red as blood, flashing intermittently.
Ever since Geng Miaowan stepped into this place, she had felt uneasy all over, as if countless eyes were staring at her. Pointing to the red dots, she asked, "What are those things?"
He smiled and led her toward the red dot that was closer to her.
As she got closer, she realized that the red dot was actually the eye of a super mutant. The mutant was locked in an iron cage, and sensing the approach of a stranger, it grinned in her direction.
The sudden fright made her take a big step back, speechless for a long time. So many red dots stretched into the darkness.
"Could all of these things in here be...?"
Peng Yuxian reached out and helped her up, pulling her back a short distance before saying, "Yes, this place is full of vampires and mutants."
Geng Miaowan suddenly pushed him away and looked him straight in the eye. "Could you be the one who created vampires and mutants?"
Peng Yuxian was taken aback, his eyes filled with questions as he looked at her. "You also know that someone is creating vampires and mutants?"
"So it really was you?" She didn't want to admit that the feeling rising in her heart was disappointment. "I never thought you would be this kind of person!" After saying that, she turned around and walked back the way she came in.
Although she had suspected that he might have done it, seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel somewhat unacceptable. She felt that someone like him shouldn't have done such a thing.
Geng Miaowan suddenly found it somewhat amusing. After learning about that incident, she had kept telling herself that Peng Yuxian would never do such a thing.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Peng Yuxian grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. “I haven’t finished speaking yet.”
"What else is there to say!" Geng Miaowan clearly didn't want to hear his explanation. No matter what the reason was, she couldn't accept treating people as experimental subjects.
“These were not made by me; I captured them from outside to experiment on.”
"That's still the same thing. Qiu Pi said he's long suspected you've secretly captured a large number of vampires and mutants for your own purposes. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have no choice but to." (To be continued.) xh:.147.247.73
