238: Chapter 238 Zong Zhengyue Verifies Identity

The most troublesome aspect of the red curtain was the hallucinogen it released.

Even a slight inhalation would cause instant unconsciousness.

However, this time, they were well-prepared.

“Pa~ pa~ pa~”

Several team members quickly threw several bionic mechanical grenades at the four walls.

These grenades were specially made; they contained not explosives, but nanobots.

Nanobots were the bane of the red curtain.

After the grenades were thrown, they firmly latched onto the wall, and then invisible nanobots swarmed out, continuously spreading outwards.

The red curtain rapidly disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition, to prevent the already released hallucinogen from affecting people, they had taken central control capsules before setting off.

Therefore, this time, the red curtain caused no harm to anyone.

“How could this be?” The impostor was greatly alarmed.

This move was supposed to be unstoppable, yet it was so easily broken.

The team members gave him no further chance, directly stunning him with a teleportation.

Baili Ji snuffed out his cigarette and walked to the desk to issue a series of commands.

The Central Army’s deployment in the Council Building was revoked, and all troops were to proceed to their respective residential areas to be responsible for their patrol duties.

The Military Region officers sighed in relief upon receiving the order, shaking their heads with bitter smiles, thinking they had overthought things.

The zombies also gradually receded and quieted down after this moment.

Zongzheng Yue encountered no obstructions along the way and successfully arrived at the Council Building.

“Commander, Commander Zong of the Southeast Military Region has arrived,” a Soldier reported as he entered.

“Let him in,” Baili Ji said.

“Yes!” The Soldier saluted, turned, and exited.

Shen Wengang and his six team members were on duty outside, responsible for security.

Ling Zhenhai was still in the office at this moment, talking with Baili Ji.

“Baili…” Zongzheng Yue was about to speak but stopped when he saw someone else in the office.

“Sea King, please consider this matter and reply to me later,” Baili Ji said.

“Understood, Speaker, I’ll take my leave now,” Ling Zhenhai stood up, saluted both Commanders, and then turned to leave the office.

After Ling Zhenhai left, Zongzheng Yue strode up to Baili Ji and circled him, examining him.

“What are you looking at?” Baili Ji asked with a smile.

“When was the last time you visited our Southeast Military Region?” Zongzheng Yue asked.

“Haha, Lao Zong, why are you so suspicious!” Baili Ji pointed at him and laughed.

“Answer the question,” Zongzheng Yue was very serious.

“Hmm, let me think, the last time I went was probably in the summer of ’53!” Baili Ji leaned back on the sofa, recalling carefully.

“Which month exactly?” Zongzheng Yue was not satisfied with this answer.

“Which month? Let me think. Right, July 20th!” Baili Ji finally remembered. Because there was a national holiday after that.

“How many days did you stay there?” Zongzheng Yue remained persistent, trying to trick him.

“I went and came back the same day. What, do I need to stay overnight at your place!” Baili Ji replied.

The answer was flawless, but Zongzheng Yue was still uneasy.

“What did you say to me when you left?” Zongzheng Yue continued to ask.

“I said, Lao Zong, are you done yet? It’s been so long, who would remember,” Baili Ji chuckled, scolding him, truly a case of once bitten, twice shy.

“Think carefully. You were about to board the plane and even gave me something,” Zongzheng Yue prompted.

“I gave you something?” Baili Ji frowned, recalling carefully.

“Pa~” He slapped his thigh.

“I remember now, the ‘Huai’an Tie’, right? Damn! I almost forgot if you hadn’t mentioned it. Where’s the Post? Give it back to me!” Baili Ji remembered.

The “Huai’an Tie” was a famous ancient calligraphy piece. At the time, Zongzheng Yue had begged endlessly to borrow it for a look, and Baili Ji finally reluctantly agreed to lend it to him for a month. However, later, they got busy and both forgot about it.

“Damn! I was careless!” Zongzheng Yue regretted it, blaming himself for not finding a different reason.

“Who brings a calligraphy book when on a mission? I’ll send it to you later!” Zongzheng Yue said perfunctorily.

But in his heart, he thought, sending it back is impossible.

“Remember, return it to me as soon as possible, otherwise don’t even think about borrowing anything from me next time!” Baili Ji pointed at him and warned.

“Alright, alright!” Zongzheng Yue agreed, finally muddling through the matter, truly a case of shooting himself in the foot.

“Brother Baili, I have a question that I haven’t been able to figure out,” Zongzheng Yue asked.

Now that he had confirmed that the Baili Ji in front of him was real, he could ask about the zombies.

“What question?” Baili Ji asked.

“Why can you control the zombies?” Zongzheng Yue asked.

“Control zombies? I can’t!” Baili Ji decisively denied.

“Can’t? That shouldn’t be right!” Zongzheng Yue was somewhat surprised by this reply.

“What’s wrong?” Baili Ji asked.

“After entering the capital, I found that those zombies seemed to be cooperating with our actions,” Zongzheng Yue said.

“Is that so?” Baili Ji was also somewhat surprised.

“You don’t know?” Zongzheng Yue looked at Baili Ji’s expression, feeling a bit confused.

“I don’t know!” Baili Ji replied.

“Then that’s strange!” Zongzheng Yue muttered to himself.

“Wait a moment!” Baili Ji also noticed the problem and called Ling Zhenhai in from the door.
