Chapter 219 You admit it's your seaweed?
"Chen... Chen Yu... I don't understand what you're saying..."
Deputy Commander Sun's lips trembled, and he coughed twice: "You can't frame me! Everything I did was to save Teacher Liu!"
Liu Manqing furrowed her brows slightly, a trace of doubt in her eyes.
Deputy Commander Sun shouldn't be this flustered. Having been a leader in the song and dance troupe for over a decade, he was best at maintaining appearances. Even after she had rejected him for four years, he had never lost his composure in front of others.
What did Chen Yu mean just now by... 'hero saving the beauty'?
Seeing everyone's gaze gather on him, Deputy Commander Sun hurriedly spoke up, sounding a bit aggrieved.
"Um... car owner lord, there must be some misunderstanding!"
"My Talent is B-Rank [Sonic Dispersion]. I just blocked in front of Teacher Liu, intending to activate my Talent, but that monster's level was too high. My Talent couldn't contend with it, which is why I ended up in such a sorry state!"
Deputy Commander Sun pointed to his dislocated shoulder, split forehead, and blood-covered body, raising his voice another notch!
"Look at these injuries on me! If I had something to hide, would I have rushed forward to my death? Although I, Sun Zhiyuan, am no hero, I'm not the kind of person to treat human lives as a joke!"
After he finished speaking, he noticed Chen Yu was still looking at him with a smile, which reeked of a conspiracy.
Sun Zhiyuan's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly turned to Liu Manqing, tearfully pleading: "Teacher Liu! Please say something for me! I just rushed over, risking my life to save you!"
Such a heart-wrenching scene.
The people from Seventh Island also spoke up for him one after another:
"Brother Chen Yu, this uncle shouldn't be a bad person, right..."
"Before you arrived, he was the one blocking in front of the monster..."
"Yeah, we can't let a good person be hurt! That slap he took wasn't light!"
Liu Manqing felt a bit awkward and looked to the side: "Xiao Yu, Deputy Commander Sun's Talent is indeed B-Rank [Sonic Dispersion]. He has used it many times at previous stations..."
"Aunt Liu."
Chen Yu shook his head: "It's true that his Talent can disperse monsters, but that doesn't mean it can only disperse them."
Everyone was stunned.
Sun Zhiyuan was also stunned, and a sense of foreboding erupted.
Immediately after...
Chen Yu smiled faintly: "His Talent is called [Sonic Manipulation], which is an A-Rank Talent. It can release sound waves at specific frequencies to influence the emotions and behaviors of low-intelligence creatures."
Sun Zhiyuan's pupils constricted sharply: "You're slandering me! My Talent is Sonic Dispersion. If I could manipulate monsters, would I have ended up like this? Chen Yu, your pets suffered heavy losses in the attack, but even if you want to shift the blame, you need to find a decent excuse!"
He pointed to the injuries on his body: "Look! I was almost slapped to death by that monster! How could I possibly manipulate it?"
Chen Yu waved his hand: "Zuo Shi, you explain it."
Zuo Shi walked out from the crowd.
She shook her head: "Uncle Sun, I'm sorry, but we've known what your Talent is for two days."
Sun Zhiyuan's breathing stalled.
Zuo Shi didn't give him a chance to interject: "On the first day, when the seaweed attacked, those seaweed should have prioritized attacking the pets, but a few of them unexpectedly targeted Chen Yu."
"Of course, those seaweed were quickly cut down. From that moment on, Chen Yu asked me to continuously activate my Talent to investigate the information on the seaweed remains."
Sun Zhiyuan's lips began to tremble...
He never expected Chen Yu to be this meticulous, and that there was a high-level detection ability on the Vehicle!
Zuo Shi continued: "On the second day, do you know what I discovered?"
Sun Zhiyuan took a deep breath: "What did you discover..."
Zuo Shi smiled slightly: "I discovered a substance called Sonic Coordinates, and that same night, I detected that the Sonic Coordinates came from the A-Rank Talent [Sonic Manipulation]!"
The whole place went silent for a moment!
Someone cursed under their breath, and others instinctively took a step back, keeping their distance from Sun Zhiyuan!
"You're spouting nonsense!"
Sun Zhiyuan shouted angrily: "What level is your Talent!"
Zuo Shi said calmly: "A-Rank."
Sun Zhiyuan yelled at the top of his lungs, crying foul: "See! A-Rank Talent! How could you possibly see my seaweed info..."
"You admit those are your seaweed?"
Chen Yu suddenly interrupted.
Sun Zhiyuan's legs went weak and he almost knelt down, but he braced himself to stand firm: "I... I didn't say that!"
Li Mengyao shouted: "Uncle Sun, you just said it, your seaweed!"
Sun Zhiyuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Impossible! You heard wrong! I said... how could an A-Rank Talent see so much information from seaweed remains!"
Chen Yu shook his head: "The people in your previous Vehicle were also killed by you, right?"
"What?!"
Liu Manqing's eyelids twitched violently!
Many images suddenly flooded her mind, images she had never thought to put together before!
The first mission, at the abandoned factory station, with twelve people in the convoy, they encountered wave after wave of monster attacks. Everyone else lost their composure, only Sun Zhiyuan remained unusually calm, pulling her toward the safety passage.
The second mission, at the foggy town station, they were surrounded by a group of monsters. Sun Zhiyuan once again precisely found a safe route. She heard the screams of her teammates behind her and wanted to turn back, but he grabbed her tightly: "Teacher Liu, if you go back, you're just throwing your life away!"
She had also doubted it once,
why her convoy always had such bad luck! Why they always inexplicably attracted large numbers of monsters!
Until...
Only she and Sun Zhiyuan were left in the Vehicle!
She looked up, staring at Sun Zhiyuan's blood-stained face, completely shocked!
Even her back felt a chill...
Deng Yuxin covered her mouth, her eyes having shifted from fear to admiration:
"Brother Chen Yu, have you been planning this since the first day?"
Shen Qingci nodded: "Actually, I knew it early on. Chen Yu's task for me was to keep a close eye on Sun Zhiyuan..."
Yang Kexin also exclaimed: "No wonder you made your move the moment Officer Pei was losing!"
Shen Qingci said somewhat helplessly: "However, this Sun Zhiyuan's ability far exceeded our estimates. His A-Rank Talent almost performed at an SS-Rank level..."
On the other side,
Military District,
Cheng Minglang finished listening to these words, his mouth twitching: "Officer Pei, we absolutely must not offend him. He's too sinister!"
Pei Yuanheng smiled helplessly: "I'm only curious now about where exactly he was staying when the apocalypse descended..."
Zhou Ting, within the Research Team, muttered to himself: "No wonder, no wonder, everything makes sense now. This Sun Zhiyuan's performance was like a toy in front of Chen Yu."
Wang Mengmeng's brain finally caught up: "Damn! Then Brother Chen Yu, since you knew, why didn't you come out sooner? We were scared to death!"
Chen Yu glanced at Wang Mengmeng, and Wang Mengmeng realized she had spoken out of turn, hurriedly slapping her own mouth.
