Chapter 44 The mole was actually him?

Snow-covered landscapes and the hazy darkness of night often provide the best camouflage for certain criminals.

A slender figure swiftly traversed the forest, arrived at the boundary of the protected area, opened the seemingly useless iron gate, and spoke in hushed tones with an unidentified person.

“I just observed that Huo An was in the seventh service area, drunk with Liang He and the others.”

"Drunk? Ha, Huo An certainly has the leisure to enjoy it."

The newcomer scoffed at Huo An, seemingly harboring considerable dissatisfaction.

“Since Liang He came to the reserve, she has received special treatment; otherwise, you wouldn’t have been keeping an eye on her.”

As an inside man, he knew all too well how important Liang He was to the evolved beastmen, and this was his bargaining chip in negotiations with them.

"Alright, don't forget what I asked you to do."

The visitor was truly displeased with his treacherous demeanor. After conveying the orders from above and placing the cage containing the ferocious beast inside the iron gate, he prepared to leave.

These ferocious beasts are meant to deal with orcs in their evolutionary stage.

"Hey! Where's what I asked for?"

He risked being discovered to come to them; he wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit him!

"You'll get your share! Here you go!"

The other party impatiently tossed a bag to the mole. When he opened it, he found it was heavy and gleaming with gold.

"Thanks! Don't forget to put in a good word for me with your boss, so we might have a chance to work together in the future."

The traitor happily pocketed the gold and prepared to return the way he came. He neither heard the newcomer say "there will be no future" nor saw Huo An and the others who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Hi, good evening.

Liang He greeted the other party with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes. Her sharp, piercing gaze was fixed on the traitor.

It was because of him that the Dark Night Wolf King was captured, and the Silver Moon Wolf almost lost his life!

"I never expected that the mole would be you."

The station chief arrived at the scene and, after seeing the true face of the mole, wore an expression of disappointment and heartache.

He was the first student I took on after arriving at the reserve!

"Darth, what are you doing this for?!"

Das, deputy director of the central control room.

Faced with the questioning from his former teacher, the station chief, Dass angrily raised the bag in his hand.

"Why? Of course, it's for this!"

Through the sealed bag, Liang He could see what was inside and couldn't help but sigh.

So it turns out that gold is a hard currency everywhere.

However, it really lacked any originality.

“I stay in the protected area 24 hours a day for a pitifully low salary, and I’m the best student at the Federal University!”

Why is it that those who are inferior to him are now high-level executives, earning high salaries and enjoying wealth and luxury?

And he! He can only stay by the side of a bunch of ignorant beasts, and his advancement speed is even slower than Liang He, who just arrived! Why?!

"I don't have time for dating, so I can only go on blind dates, but no one is interested in me! But when I have this gold, I can completely change my situation!"

The more Dass talked, the more frantic he became. Seeing him so obsessed, the stationmaster sighed deeply.

It's hopeless, absolutely hopeless.

"District Chief, I'm getting old. Please take care of the rest."

Seeing that the only person who might protect him, the stationmaster, was about to leave, Das finally realized he was in a hurry and immediately shouted.

"Teacher! Teacher! You can't abandon me! Huo An will kill me!"

Das knew all too well what fate awaited him as a traitor, but he couldn't understand how he had been exposed!

Dass's gaze drifted to Huo An and Liang He, and he rushed towards them as if suddenly realizing something, but was stopped by the guards.

"It was you! It was all of you! You framed me!"

"It's not a design, it's just a trap to lure the snake out of its hole and invite the enemy into the urn." Liang He spoke coldly, looking at Das as if he were a dead man. If there weren't other people present, Das's head would probably have been twisted off by now.

"You say others look down on you, but actually you look down on yourself."

How could anyone want to be with someone as insecure yet arrogant and insanely jealous as Das? Are they blind?
"You're lying! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

With his last shred of dignity ripped away by Liang He, Dass, his pride shattered, struggled to break free from the guards' restraints, pulled a knife from his pocket, and charged straight at Liang He.

"Roar!"

Just as Liang He was preparing to retaliate and Huo An was trying to pull her away, a swift and agile figure flashed past. By the time they saw him clearly, Das was already dead beyond any doubt.

“Cedriel?!”

Liang He was surprised that Mo Jin Wang Hu had followed her, and she quickly went forward to check if he was injured.

"Are you stupid? He's holding a knife, and you're just going to rush at him?!"

"Ow~"

Seeing that Mo Jin Wang Hu was not injured, Liang He breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but criticize him a few times. However, when she heard him whining and acting cute, she immediately couldn't hold back.

"Okay, okay, you're so good at acting cute. You can't do that again next time, okay?"

Gently patting the tiger's head, Liang He got up and glanced at Das on the ground before chatting with Huo An about the person who had just met with Das.

"That person, is he a member of the rebels?"

"Not surprisingly, yes."

Hoan had Das's body removed, and the gold in the bag was handed over to the Department of Law Enforcement as evidence.

"Their collaboration with Das is likely aimed at using the animals within the protected area for research."

"So, they have a base on Tianyao Star?"

Otherwise, transporting animals from Tianyao Star to other planets would obviously be more difficult and riskier.

“That’s right. We’ve been trying to find their hideout for a while, but they’ve hidden it too well.”

Tianyao Star has a vast territory, but the protected area occupies at least half of it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to integrate various terrains and landforms to raise beastmen and animals with different needs.

"That person who just now..."

Liang He originally wanted to arrest the person directly, but Huo An stopped her.

"I need you to cooperate with me and pretend to be drunk. The purpose is not only to lure out the mole, but also to use him to pass on false information to the rebels."

It turns out that from the very beginning, Huo An came to Liang He and the others to eat roasted whole lamb, drink and chat, in order to dispel Das's concerns, lower his guard, and thus catch evidence of his collusion with the rebels.

As the deputy director of the control room, Dass was fully aware of their every move. Without a performance, it would be impossible to easily convince him.

"I have already sent people to track them down. Once the rebels' stronghold is located, we will immediately arrest them."

Liang He nodded knowingly, without objection, and then looked at the few ferocious beasts that had not yet been released.

"What do you plan to do with these ferocious beasts?"

"I will send them to the Federal Animal Research Institute, where they have been working on developing a cure for the ferocious beasts."

As the rebels' main weapon, the Federation naturally wouldn't let the ferocious beasts develop unchecked. So when the beasts appeared in large numbers, the Federation established a special team to conduct related research.

"They were originally cute and lively animals."

Liang He sighed deeply, her eyes filled with pity and tenderness as she looked at the ferocious beasts; she wanted to save them.

Just like how she was healed by them in the first place.

"I believe that one day, the ferocious beasts will recover and return to their natural habitat to live happily."

Seeing Liang He's determined and hopeful expression, Huo An was deeply moved. His previously suppressed smile gradually turned up, revealing a knowing smile.

Yes, that day will definitely come.

And it will come soon.

Perhaps, it has already arrived.

Those who hurt the furry creatures are the worst! Liang He will definitely teach them a lesson! Babies, quickly comment and vote to help Liang He defeat the bad guys! Go for it!
