Excessive ferocity due to caution

"..."

Zhao Yidian's hand froze for a moment.

"So, you know about Blue Poison?"

Cherry's eyes were gloomy as she touched her head.

"You don't even know what Blue Poison is, so why are you attacking it?"

Zhao Yi lit the fire with a snap and laughed:

You can think of this as a trial.

"If someone wants to get Blue Poison, then someone else will have to protect Blue Poison."

The cherry seemed to understand:

"You think you've won the trial just because you got Blue Poison?"

White smoke drifted between the two, obscuring Cherry's gaze as he scrutinized Zhao Yi, and also obscuring his attempts to understand Zhao Yi.

"Theoretically speaking..."

Zhao Yi seemed unconcerned about this, his tone carrying a sharp danger.

"But compared to Blue Poison, I care more about something else."

"Wha...what is it?"

Cherry felt uncomfortable and adjusted her sitting posture slightly.

He didn't like Zhao Yi's tone...it was too dangerous.

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"kill."

That smile made Cherry's eyelids twitch wildly.

"Who to kill?"

"Young Master Li."

Cherry was shocked and subconsciously said:

"He's someone of considerable influence; he can even contact and influence people in the council. Killing him will only bring bigger trouble..."

"And the trouble is endless..."

Zhao Yi said earnestly:

"But people are not."

Cherry looked up.

Zhao Yi's face showed no sign of joking.

"So, can we talk about P and Blue Poison now?"

Cherry remained silent for a long time before sitting back down in her chair.

I randomly pulled up a document on my computer.

"Thirty-six years ago, I was in charge of the Blue Poison project..."

He touched the cigarette pack on the table, but it was empty.

Zhao Yi tossed him a lit cigarette.

He picked it up and said:

"P is my favorite student, and also the purest and least greedy researcher."

"His sincerity, his purity... made me like this young man in a very short time."

"I started giving him some of the Blue Poison research data and projects, and guided him to participate in the projects personally. This way, after the research was completed, P would become a key focus of the council, and his future would be bright..."

Zhao Yidao:

"And then?"

Cherry's gaze sharpened.

"In the middle of the Blue Poison project, I was called by the military to participate in another project... You probably guessed it, it was the super-powered collar used to seal criminals."

"This design is based on a manuscript left by a super scientist, the senior Ouyang Feng."

"He's a genius... I spent nearly three years painstakingly filling in the gaps he left behind, and finally succeeded in developing the super-powered collar and key."

"But for the past three years, P has secretly colluded with the military to kick me out of the Blue Poison project. However, because I have many merits, they dare not openly kill me, so they banished me to this land of yellow sand, intending to imprison me until I die!"

Zhao Yi stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Seeing Zhao Yi lost in thought, Cherry couldn't help but say:

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"I'm wondering what exactly Blue Poison is that has made you spend so much time researching it."

When the Blue Poison project was mentioned, Cherry's tone changed slightly.

"A reagent that can make ordinary people stronger."

He was unwilling to say more.

In fact, if it is just a reagent that enhances the human body, it is always difficult to attract the attention of others.

After all, there are too many similar drugs in the world, and experience has taught people a universal truth—all medicines have some degree of toxicity.

The more effective a drug is, the more toxic it tends to be.

From Cherry's little expression, Zhao Yi could tell that Blue Poison was definitely not a simple, ordinary reagent.

It definitely hides secrets and functions that outsiders can't fathom!

However, Zhao Yi did not press the matter further.

Once he gets his hands on it, the truth will naturally come out.

Zhao Yi pushed open the door to leave.

He gave the prisoners in the cage a day to think.

The next day, he finished his meal in the cafeteria.

A large number of prisoners came before him and submitted to him.

It wasn't just because Zhao Yi held the key to unlock their collars; more importantly, Zhao Yi's power and madness had captivated them.

Among these criminals, many are indeed extremely vicious, but most of them did not become criminals voluntarily.

"Someone broke into my house and raped and murdered my wife. I killed that person and have been wanted ever since."

"They said the man I killed was a law-abiding citizen."

"They said I was guilty."

A disheveled middle-aged man with the strength of a half-step Great Ferocious Realm expert said this.

"Many people came after me, so I killed many people."

"In the end, I became an S-class wanted criminal and was arrested and brought to this place."

When he talked about this, his tone was almost completely calm.

He only shows anger when he mentions his wife.

The man, who was in his fifties, told Zhao Yi that he had been in the Sand Sea Prison for seventeen years.

He had already adapted to life here, and he had no desire to leave.

He hates Z city, he hates this world.

If Zhao Yi could lead him to seek revenge against Z City, he was willing to give his life to Zhao Yi.

Many criminals have their own stories.

If their experiences were collected, they could be written into a magnificent novel.

At least Zhao Yi felt it was much better than the novels written by Xu Shengzhi, where the protagonist could only afford to eat full-time meals every month.

With Zhao Yi's permission, Zhu Gan'er removed the collars from the necks of all the prisoners.

A small number of prisoners are preparing to leave Z City forever.

Most of them were willing to follow Zhao Yi and participate in the revenge.

The desert prison became their temporary base.

Here, Zhao Yi learned about the general situation in Z City from the criminals.

In this city where prosperity and poverty coexist, there are three forces at play.

The most powerful and mysterious is the temple.

Only legendary heroes selected and tested by the temple through annual parliamentary elections can enter there for further study.

After being blessed and furthered by the temple, the legendary hero's strength will make him a valiant temple guardian, and his family and faction will also benefit!

Secondly, there is Parliament.

The council is the power that controls the military in Z City and is the head of the Phoenix Guardians and superheroes.

They control absolute resources and power in Z city.

Finally, there are supervillain gangs.

These people are mostly outlaws who take black market bounties and commit all sorts of illegal and disorderly acts in the vast city of Z.

P.S.: Taking a shower, one more chapter to go.
