Chapter 266 We killed them; misfortunes never come singly.
"How could it be them? This is impossible!"
Lu Fei drugged the guards and watched as Gu Changge, Luo Feiyu, and Hu Dabao were tied up in the cell, covered in blood, their eyes vacant and confused.
Upon hearing Lu Fei's voice, the three of them seemed to come to their senses, realizing that they were bound hand and foot, and a look of pain flashed in their eyes.
"What's going on with you guys? Weren't you on a mission last night? Why did you turn into spies?"
Their mission was to find people in the military region who were suspected of having contact with the Dong family, or to find the source of the zombie virus. This did not require risking their lives, let alone killing hundreds of people.
"Feifei, those people...we killed them!"
Luo Feiyu's eyes were bloodshot, and his usually handsome face looked haggard. His eyes were as gentle as ever, so why would he kill someone for no reason?
Lu Fei felt something was off, so she asked them to recount what had happened.
According to them, those zombie soldiers were all very capable, and even though they had mutated, no one around them could bear to harm them.
However, they had to be eliminated no matter what, so Gu Changge and the other two became the main force. Given that they were already level five superpowered experts, it was very easy for them to take the lead in the team.
Last night, they were ordered to kill the mutated zombies that had escaped. In a deserted place, suddenly a lot of them appeared.
"Those zombies were extremely ferocious. We fought them off with all our might, but when only the three of us were left, we discovered that... those zombies were our teammates who had come out on the mission together."
We...we killed them all...we are guilty!!
Gu Changge muttered to himself, his panicked and broken appearance a stark contrast to his usual open and bold demeanor.
Someone who was just laughing and joking with them a moment ago suddenly becomes their dead body; no one could bear that.
Lu Fei stared intently at them and asked them repeatedly, but they all insisted that it was true.
Hu Dabao even felt unbearable guilt for the murders they committed, and even had suicidal tendencies.
"I believe you wouldn't kill anyone. You must hold on until I investigate and clear your names, okay?"
Lu Fei had never seen them so dejected. Luo Feiyu's bright eyes were now dull and lifeless, like a stagnant pool of water instead of a bright moon, which pained her deeply.
Seeing Lu Fei's determined gaze, the three of them finally calmed down.
"we will wait for you."
Seeing that they had finally stopped giving up on themselves, Lu Fei turned and left. After waking up the unconscious soldier, she secretly walked back.
Along the way, as she listened to the soldiers around her righteously indignantly declaring their intention to kill Gu Changge and the other two, she felt an immense pang of sorrow.
Firstly, for the soldiers who died, and secondly, for the brothers who were wrongly accused.
Lu Fei went to feel around the place where the accident happened, thinking that there must be clues left there no matter what.
Not long after leaving the military region, he was stopped by a dark figure, who turned out to be Cao Zhengyu, who was on a mission.
He was travel-worn and haggard, and his body reeked of blood, yet his gaze toward Lu Fei was incredibly gentle.
"Feifei, I've heard about what happened to them. Don't worry, let's go find Uncle first. He'll definitely have a solution."
As Cao Zhengyu spoke, he tried to pull Lu Fei to the command post.
"Don't worry, your uncle locked them in the cell to protect them. Otherwise, if they were just tied up outside, they would be doomed."
After we leave your uncle's place, you go investigate the clues, and I'll cover for you..."
Cao Zhengyu held Lu Fei's hand warmly. He walked ahead, and a gentle breeze carried the faint scent of grass and wood emanating from him.
"Aren't you afraid they're murderers pretending to be pitiful? You should know that if we wipe out the Central Military Region, the rest will all be mine."
Aren't you afraid that we've been faking it all this time, deceiving you?"
Lu Fei looked at the person who had always trusted her and wondered why he would help her so instinctively.
Hearing Lu Fei's words, Cao Zhengyu finally stopped and turned to look at him.
“I believe they are the most upright people and would never do such a thing. They are determined and would not kill people indiscriminately. I must find clues to the fact that they were wronged.”
But you simply don't have the intelligence to deceive me. All the kindness you've shown me is genuine; I can feel it.
Cao Zhengyu's eyes were filled with deep affection and focus, making Lu Fei's heart pound wildly, and even her breathing became erratic.
As Lu Fei's face drew closer and closer, Cao Zhengyu felt that his long-awaited happiness had finally come to fruition. This heartfelt confession was sure to win her heart.
Taking advantage of the perfect atmosphere, they quickly closed their eyes and waited for their first kiss.
However, with a loud thud, Cao Zhengyu was stunned by Lu Fei's blow to the head.
You can see stars as soon as you open your eyes.
"You stinky leopard, you actually think I'm stupid? I'm just straightforward, okay? I have absolute strength! If you say I'm dumb, believe me, I'll send a copy of your ass-licking photo to everyone in the military region!"
After fuming, Lu Fei swung her long legs and went to find Cao Huai.
Hearing the cries of pain behind her and Cao Zhengyu cursing as he chased after her, Lu Fei quickly fanned her burning face with her hand. Damn it, she had never dealt with such an emotional performance before.
The only thing I can do is beat him up.
After that awkward moment, the two of them were practically racing, their legs moving so fast they left afterimages. By the time they reached the command room, they were both leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
"I knew you'd come. Come in quickly."
Cao Huai wasn't surprised to see it was the two of them, and explained the situation to them as soon as they came in.
When the soldiers who went to meet them arrived, they found the ground littered with corpses and three incoherent people.
"They keep insisting that they killed them, and I can't even cover for them."
"There's no other way. The soldiers are too emotional, and I'm afraid they might get into danger, so I locked them up. But as the commander, I can't delay any longer. You still need to find the clues."
Cao Huai's words made Lu Fei's face darken. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.
When Lu Fei came to the Central Military Region, he also set up a base station here so that they could contact each other at any time.
Upon seeing that it was Rong Feifei's account, I quickly answered the call.
"Waaaaah, Feifei, my brother is unconscious."
Rong Feifei's eyes were red and swollen from crying. She looked at Lu Fei with a helpless expression, as if Lu Fei were her lifeline.
Lu Fei felt her heart pounding before she even answered the video call; sure enough, something bad had happened.
It turned out that after Lu Fei and the others left, Rong Qi started acting strangely, either becoming inexplicably irritable or squatting in a corner talking to himself.
These past few days, he's been sleepwalking around the base, and when he was finally found, he was covered in blood.
“We don’t know what’s wrong with him. The medicine you left for him didn’t work. He’s been in a coma since last night and we can’t wake him up no matter what we do. What should I do? I can’t lose my brother.”
Rong Feifei was crying her heart out on the other end of the line, while Lu Fei's expression grew increasingly grave.
If Gu Changge and the others hadn't gotten into trouble, she could have gone back anytime, but she can't now.
"He's unconscious, so give him glucose first. If that doesn't work, try feeding him through a nasal tube. In short, don't let him starve to death."
"Maintain his vital signs and wait until I get back."
