Excessive ferocity due to caution

Just as Long was extremely nervous, a servant suddenly rushed over in a panic!

"General, something terrible has happened!"

His tone was alarmed:

"Those two test subjects... escaped!"

Long frowned:

Which two?

The servant replied:

"Luo Qili, Li Liangchao!"

Upon hearing this, Long squinted and said:

"Go find it quickly!"

"Reporting to the General... I have already sent people to search..."

The dragon paced back and forth quickly in the room, countless thoughts flashing through its mind.

"I was careless...those guys must be in cahoots!"

"They're heading to Pulse City... Sudi, you need to take your men and head to Pulse City right away!"

"You must get the man and the letter back for me!"

Sudi nodded and immediately went out.

Nobody saw it—

As she left, a slight smile played on her lips.

...

Wilderness, cloudy.

Without the scorching sun, the two quickened their pace on the road.

On the way, Luo Qili quickly arranged her soul weapon, the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, while saying with relief:

"These guards are so incompetent...we managed to escape!"

Li Liangchao glanced back at the way he had come, but his mind was clear:

"We didn't 'escape'...someone deliberately let us out."

Luo Qili was stunned:

"Let us out?"

"Who?"

Li Liangchao shook his head:

"have no idea."

"Long has placed us under house arrest in Licheng. Although he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions for the time being, there must be a reason for this house arrest."

"But it's not hard to figure out... If we want to know what the dragon is thinking, let's try to deduce it from another angle—what does the person who let us go want us to do?"

Luo Qili:

"What does he want us to do?"

Li Liangchao glanced at her.

"That's a good question... I don't know."

Luo Qili:

"..."

The two traveled eastward.

Not long ago, they heard people whispering outside the cell where they were being held. Zhao Yi had already gone to Pulse City with the letter in his hand.

Although, judging by Zhao Yi's speed, it seemed they were a bit late to get there.

But we can't just not go.

If they do nothing, then they will receive almost no rewards in this instance.

After walking for several hours, Luo Qili suddenly asked a strange question:

"...We've been on the run for so long, why aren't there any pursuers behind us?"

The traps she set were very detailed and well-hidden.

Luo Qili was certain that there was no one behind them.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

The dragon discovered they were gone... how could it not come after them?

The two were filled with trepidation.

We traveled for a day.

Dark clouds gathered until dusk.

The setting sun is about to return to the grave.

"That is..."

Luo Qili suddenly stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, and spotted a figure.

The two immediately became alert.

It is common to encounter infected individuals in the wild on the road.

Their power is limited, and even if they can use soul weapons, they are still prone to accidents if they are not careful enough!

However, as the two drew closer, Luo Qili exclaimed in surprise:

"Zhao Yi!"

That's right.

The dark figure amidst the barren soil and rubble... was none other than Zhao Yi.

He started a small fire and roasted a mutated wolf.

"Brother Zhao, you didn't go to Pulse City?"

Upon seeing Zhao Yi, both of them were immediately invigorated!

Zhao Yi glanced at them curiously:

"Just you two?"

Li Liangchao and his companion exchanged a glance and replied:

"Yes."

"We heard that you came out of the Eastern Testing Grounds and went to Pulse City with that letter, so we followed you..."

After the two recounted their experiences to Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi suddenly laughed.

Luo Qili glared and said:

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"I've figured something out..."

He took out the letter and placed it in front of the two of them.

"This letter contains high-level access to Pulse City..."

"But besides that, there's something else that's very important..."

The two looked at the letter in front of them with serious expressions.

There is a chip inside.

They touched, looked at, and smelled the chip.

Zhao Yiqian, who was standing to the side, coughed and explained:

"Ah, no... not this chip, the chip is for permissions."

"You shouldn't treat a chip like this... it's really too perverted."

The two of them looked slightly embarrassed.

Good guy.

Zhao Yi actually called him a pervert!

"Could it be the letter itself?"

Luo Qili stared at the letter for a moment.

They have higher-level permissions and cannot view the contents of the email.

Wang Chui had already told them this before.

Zhao Yidao:

Let's combine the information we have now.

"I learned in the experimental field that Dragon City and Pulse City are not the same force."

"But Wang Chui betrayed the Dragon and joined the Pulse City."

"Long also knows this... So even though he has so many subordinates at his disposal, he still chose to send Wang Chui to deliver the message."

What does this tell us?

After a two-second silence, Luo Qili tentatively replied:

"Does that mean the dragon... is blind?"

The two men stared at her.

That gaze made Luo Qili feel a little uncomfortable, and she gave an awkward smile:

"I was just kidding... just kidding..."

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Liangchao replied:

"Personally, I think this means... people from Dragon's faction shouldn't be able to deliver this letter to Pulse City!"

"That's right!"

Zhao Yi snapped his fingers.

"In other words, only 'traitors' from Dragon's side could deliver the message to Pulse City!"

Luo Qili suddenly realized.

"Now that we know this, doesn't that mean we won't be able to deliver the letter to Pulse City?"

Zhao patted her shoulder and said earnestly:

"What can't be done?"

Luo Qili stammered:

"I...I'm not a traitor."

Zhao Yi emphasized:

"Who are you."

Luo Qili was stunned:

"I am?"

"Yes, you're a traitor!"

"And what about you?"

"We are traitors too!"

"Are we all traitors?"

"Yes, we are all traitors!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

After an awkward laugh, Luo Qili instantly wiped the smile off her face and slapped away Zhao Yi's hand that was pressing on her shoulder.

"Zhao Yi, are you two playing house here?"

"Do they really think the people of Pulse City are fools?"

"Does saying we're traitors mean we're traitors?"

Zhao smiled and said:

"Do as I say..."

"They will believe it."

"Anyway, the letter has been delivered to Pulse City, and your main quest is complete... so you can leave now."

Li Liangchao seemed to understand something:

"You accepted a hidden quest?"

Zhao Yi:

"Children should not meddle in adult matters."

"Finish the task and leave quickly."

"Otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences."

PS: First update.

If I don't finish writing three chapters today, I'll unleash a spiral Thomas-style fart and blow myself into outer space!

This instance is about to end.

It will probably happen in the next day or two.
