Chapter 792 Exposure and Questioning

While Qin Zhong was busy settling the people he brought with him, He Ruxue had already found Xiao Li with Xu Li.

"Captain Xiao, this is Colonel Xu Li, the head of Bureau 749 here." As soon as they met, He Ruxue introduced Xu Li to Xiao Li and explained Xu Li's identity.

When Xiao Li learned that Xu Li was the head of Bureau 749, he realized that the thing he was most worried about had finally come true.

After all, the Eagle Special Forces and several other special forces were drawn from the army to cooperate with the 749th Bureau to complete that mission.

But so many people on his side died, and in the end all the essence of the meteorite was lost. When he thought of this, he had the urge to commit suicide.

Although he felt ashamed, Xiao Li's long military career had already forged a strong character, so at this moment, he forced himself to cheer up and saluted Xu Li.

"Hello, Colonel Xu Li, I'm Xiao Li from the Eagle Special Forces."

Xu Li returned Xiao Li's military salute, then said with a smile, "I saw you just now, but the team was on the march, so it was inconvenient for me to find you. He Ruxue has already reported the situation to me, but I still need you to report the more specific mission details. Come with me!"

"Okay, Colonel Xu Li!"

Hearing Xu Li's words, Xiao Li's angular face showed a trace of shame, and then he followed Xu Li to the command center. In the same conference room where Qin Chong had been before, he met Feng Yuan.

This was a small meeting with only Feng Yuan, Xu Li, Xiao Li and He Ruxue.

After sitting down, Xiao Li told Feng Yuan and Xu Li about his experience with a face full of shame. He felt deeply saddened for not completing the task and expressed his willingness to accept any suggestions from the organization.

Even if he was demoted to a small soldier, he would have no objection.

"So, you didn't even see the body of that M-type mutant zombie?"

After listening to Xiao Li's report, Feng Yuan and the others exchanged glances. Feng Yuan's expression changed slightly as he asked, "What a pity! It would be great if those highly intelligent zombies could cooperate with us humans!"

"Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts. The zombie's death at the hands of Brother Qin Zhong may not be a bad thing! But, alas, our checked luggage is still lost!"

Talking about his failed mission, Xiao Li couldn't help but show a trace of decadence on his face. For a professional soldier, failing to complete the mission and living a miserable life is more painful and shameful than death.

At this moment, Xiao Li was immersed in the guilt of not completing the task, and did not notice that the three people sitting opposite him had strange expressions on their faces.

After a while, Feng Yuan said gently, "Okay, Captain Xiao, you should be more open-minded. Things have already happened. There is no use regretting now."

After saying this, he looked at the dejected look on Xiao Li's face and forced a smile, saying, "Alright, Captain Xiao, we've already understood the details of the matter. You've worked hard along the way. I'll have someone take you to rest. Since we can't contact Jingdu right now, you should stay with Qin Zhong for now. If there's anything else, we'll talk later after you've rested."

"Yes, General Feng!" With General Feng's comfort, Xiao Li's expression looked better.

He stood up and saluted everyone, then left the room and followed his adjutant who was waiting for him outside to the hotel where Qin Zhong and others were resting.

After Xiao Li left the room, Feng Yuan's face darkened. He looked at Xu Li and He Ruxue and asked, "What do you think? What exactly is going on?"

"General Feng, I strongly suspect that the M-shaped mutant zombie Captain Xiao mentioned is the zombie battle pet Qin Zhong mentioned!"

Xu Li, sitting in his seat, saw General Feng's gloomy face, pursed his lips, and asked hesitantly, "Also, from what Xiao Li just reported, he doesn't seem to know that Qin Zhong took in that zombie as his battle pet, right?"

"boom!"

General Feng slammed the table and shouted, "What on earth is Qin Zhong doing? Did he kill all those people in the Eagle Special Forces from the very beginning? Just for the essence of the meteorite?"

Because General Feng was angry, Xu Li and He Ruxue both sat there quietly, each of them in deep thought.

After a while, He Ruxue said, "General Feng, why don't you let me ask him? I don't think he would harm his compatriots."

"Alright! Let's do it!"

After listening to He Ruxue's words, General Feng's expression softened a bit. He nodded and said, "No matter what, we still need to get to the bottom of this matter. We still need to cooperate, so we can't harbor any concerns. Otherwise, how can this cooperation proceed?"

Xu Li also reminded He Ruxue at this time: "Pay attention to your tone when communicating, and don't use questioning. Qin Zhong is no ordinary person now. Putting aside his own combat power, his identity alone is not something he can easily offend. For the sake of the overall situation, we must do our best to maintain a good relationship!"

"Yes!" He Ruxue stood up, walked out of the meeting room quickly, and headed towards the accommodation area at the back to look for Qin Zhong.

……

Qin Zhong's location was not kept secret, and He Ruxue soon found him.

At this time, Qin Zhong had just arranged accommodation for everyone and was surrounded by Sun Xiaoyan, Xin Hai and a group of brothers, planning to find a place to have a good meal.

"Brother Qin, I have something to ask you!" After seeing Qin Zhong, He Ruxue took a deep breath and walked forward quickly.

"Oh, our beautiful lady He, what's the problem?"

Qin Zhong waved his hand, letting Sun Xiaoyan and the others go first. Then he smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? You've successfully completed the mission, so why are you still looking for me? What do you want to ask?"

"Brother Qin, I want to ask you, you told General Feng before that you adopted an M-type mutant zombie as a battle pet. Is it the one that Xiao Li and the others fought against?" Facing Qin Zhong's ridicule, He Ruxue directly asked the question.

"That's right!" Qin Zhong was slightly stunned when he heard He Ruxue's question, and responded frankly.

Hearing Qin Zhong's admission, He Ruxue's expression changed instantly. She asked in disbelief, "Haven't you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Besides, how could you do such a thing?"

Qin Zhong was not surprised by He Ruxue's surprise. He frowned and said, "I know that once this matter is exposed, the consequences will be very troublesome, but in order to improve my strength, I have to do this. Moreover, the essence of the meteorite can only play its greatest role in my hands!"

"Is that why you ordered the M-type mutant zombies and the members of the Killing Eagle Special Forces?"

Seeing Qin Zhong's self-righteous expression, He Ruxue was furious and growled, "Have you ever considered that they are also human beings and they have parents too? Don't you feel any guilt for killing them?"

"I killed them?" Looking at He Ruxue's angry expression, Qin Zhong was stunned at first, then frowned, as if he had realized something.

Qin Zhong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger of being misunderstood, and explained, "In your mind, am I, Qin Zhong, such a person? Yes, I admit that I have killed many people, but those I killed were those who deserved it..."

At this point, Qin Zhong's tone gradually became serious. "As for Xiao Li and the others, if I wanted to kill them and seize the essence of the meteorite, I would have done it long ago. I said from the beginning that this M-shaped mutant zombie can devour memories. If I wanted to kill them, why not just let the M-shaped zombie finish them off? Why leave a few alive for you to question me?"

As he spoke, Qin Zhong grew increasingly angry. He grabbed He Ruxue by the collar and said, "I'll only explain this once and never again. Anyway, Xiao Li and the others were first hunted by the M-type zombies, and then I rescued them. Later, I subdued the M-type zombies and let them seize the essence of the meteorite..."

"But please remember, from the beginning to the end, all I wanted was the essence of the meteorite. Not only did I not kill Xiao Li and the others, on the contrary, I saved them countless times!"

After saying that, Qin Zhong loosened He Ruxue's collar and said, "I'll leave it at that. As for whether you want to tell Xiao Li and the others, I don't care!"

After Qin Zhong finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to He Ruxue and strode straight towards Sun Xiaoyan and others, leaving He Ruxue standing there alone.
