646: Chapter 646: Unexpected Mutant
"Then why did you lock me up?" Sun Zhuo asked.
"I'm just ensuring the safety of the base," Oriental Chen replied.
"Hmph, hmph, do you think you can protect it?"
"I think so."
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot! I could have let you live longer, but you forced yourself into a dead end," Sun Zhuo said with disdain.
"Then can you satisfy some of my curiosity as a dying man?"
"Hahahaha! What do you want to know?" Sun Zhuo asked triumphantly.
"How did you reach 7th-tier strength?"
"Not simple, you actually know I have 7th-tier strength!" Sun Zhuo was a little surprised.
"You flatter me."
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, because you can't do it. The answer is: Live long enough!" Sun Zhuo emphasized the words 'live long enough'.
"Live long enough? So you are very old?" Oriental Chen asked.
"Of course!" Sun Zhuo was extremely proud.
"May I presume to ask, how old are you, sir?" Oriental Chen asked.
"2280 years old!" Sun Zhuo loudly announced his age.
"Hiss~" Oriental Chen was mentally prepared, but hearing this age still startled him greatly.
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Oriental Chen asked calmly.
"That's your business," Sun Zhuo said indifferently.
If, as he said, he really lived that long, then advancing to the 7th tier was not impossible.
"What is your purpose in coming to the base?" Oriental Chen asked.
"Of course, it's to find you."
"Find me for what?" Oriental Chen was a little puzzled.
"Guess!" Sun Zhuo smiled mysteriously, not answering.
In fact, the reason they had been lurking for so long was initially because the time was not right. But now, it was because of the crystals.
Oriental Chen's method of raising mice to obtain crystalss had opened a completely new door for them.
"Then are you members of the Moni Sect?" Oriental Chen changed the question.
"What if I am? What if I'm not? All formalized things are stumbling blocks on the path forward," Sun Zhuo seemed to be talking to himself.
From his words, it could be heard that he might have belonged to the Moni Sect before, but now he no longer cared.
And, they seemed to be pursuing something.
"The Moni Sect was destroyed, don't you want to do something about it?" Oriental Chen asked playfully.
"Do what? Just some small fries, if they die, they die," Sun Zhuo said indifferently.
"Gu Qingyi said you were a traitor to the Moni Sect, it seems there was a basis for that," Oriental Chen said.
When did Gu Qingyi say that?
Obviously, she hadn't.
Oriental Chen didn't even know if the two knew each other.
He said this just to trick him, to test the waters.
"Kid, you're too green to pull that trick on me. Alright, I've told you enough, you should be satisfied!"
After speaking, Sun Zhuo stretched out a hand, and the large screen on the wall was directly scrapped.
"Xiao Lin, has the new shield been activated?"
"It has been activated."
"Good! Arrange a few more layers of shields on the outside, and try to buy as much time as possible!"
"Understood, Commander."
"Hahahaha, Oriental Chen, it's useless. When I come out, the entire base will be mine." Sun Zhuo was stuck on the shield, laughing wildly.
Oriental Chen ignored him and directly called Niu Xingwang.
"Brother Niu, arrange for all the family members of the core members to be brought to Lop Nur."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Niu Xingwang didn't ask why and immediately carried out the order.
It wasn't certain that something would happen to the Batuo City base, but Oriental Chen didn't want to take the risk.
"Xiao Lin, check who the other two 7th-tier Mutants are."
Oriental Chen remembered that among the data Xiao Lin provided, there were 3 7th-tier Mutants.
"Commander, the remaining two are Zhang Huishan and Shen Huiying," Xiao Lin replied.
"What!?" Oriental Chen exclaimed.
These two were Zhang Yuankui's daughter and his wife.
Zhang Huishan was only 14 years old now. After the virus outbreak, she had always lived in the base and never went anywhere.
Shen Huiying was Zhang Yuankui's wife who had been separated for many years.
"Are they also in prison now?" Oriental Chen composed himself.
"Yes, Commander."
"Switch the display."
"Understood, Commander."
The large screen quickly switched, showing two different rooms.
One contained Zhang Huishan, and the other contained Shen Huiying.
Zhang Huishan was squatting in the corner, hugging her knees, looking a little lost.
Shen Huiying was sitting at the head of the bed, staring blankly.
They both looked harmless, but he didn't expect them to be two terrifying 7th-tier Mutants.
"Contact Brother Zhang."
"Understood, Commander, signal connecting."
"Hello, Commander."
He was currently at the Wulan Gumu Military Base.
"Brother Zhang..., there's something I need to tell you." Oriental Chen didn't know how to begin.
