I failed again

It was precisely because of this ignorance that Xiao Ran had been lurking in the base, delivering a fatal blow to everyone in the base at the critical moment.

Feng Linxi stood there in a daze for a long time. He was prepared to hear a familiar name from Bai Ci, but now it seems that he was not prepared enough.

How could it be Xiao Ran? How could it be Xiao Ran?

Three years ago, the escort team sent by the base to pick up Liang Rui encountered a tide of zombies on the way back, and all members were killed. Xiao Ran followed them along the way. After their death, it was Xiao Ran who escorted Liang Rui all the way to the base and thus joined the base.

Two and a half years ago, the base was hit by a wave of zombies. Feng Linxi was besieged by zombies and almost died. It was Xiao Ran who broke through the encirclement and went in to rescue him.

Two years ago, Tang Yuxuan led a team on a mission and was trapped in City Z. At that time, Team One and Team Two were on missions in other places. Xiao Ran and Bai Ci led Team Three to City C to rescue people.

A year ago, Team One and Team Two were on a mission together. During the retreat, they were attacked by zombies and level five plants. Xiao Ran and others stayed behind to cover their retreat. During the retreat, they were almost bitten by zombies in order to save Yun An.

……

Xiao Ran has been in the base for three years. During these three years, he took care of his teammates when they were on a mission, and when there was danger, he let his teammates retreat first and he would cover their retreat. When the base encountered a tide of zombies, he actively fought against the zombies with the base's psychics and saved countless people.

All these things made Xiao Ran deeply trusted by the top management of the base and praised by the people of the base.

Even when Feng Linxi heard Tang Yuxuan say that there were zombies lurking in the base and that he was deeply trusted by the top management, countless names passed through his mind, but Xiao Ran was not one of them.

Now, Bai Ci told him that the zombie was Xiao Ran? Xiao Ran, who was trusted by everyone?

At this moment, Feng Linxi hoped that Bai Ci was joking with him.

How could it be Xiao Ran?

It could have been anyone else, but it was Xiao Ran, the person who saved him and whom he trusted.

Feng Linxi was stunned for a long time before he gradually came to his senses, "So... all those life-saving favors were calculated? Just to gain our trust?"

"Yes." Bai Ci nodded and said, "He was very successful. None of us doubted his identity."

Even now that he knew Xiao Ran's identity, he still couldn't believe it and wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"He's trying so hard, who would doubt him?" Feng Linxi said softly.

Bai Ci looked at Feng Linxi's stunned expression, and thought of what he was going to say later. He felt very upset and said, "Linxi, please sit down first. I still have something to say, and I'm afraid you can't bear the blow."

"What could be bigger than this?" Feng Linxi said self-deprecatingly, "If I can accept this, why would I be afraid of any blow?"

"Please sit down first." Bai Ci insisted, "We have so many things to talk about. It's not a good idea to stand like this."

At Bai Ci's insistence, Feng Linxi returned to his chair and sat down. He looked at Bai Ci and said, "Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared."

Who knew that Bai Ci would give him a big blow as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Chu Yunze is the Zombie King."

"What did you say?!" Feng Linxi's expression suddenly changed, his face full of disbelief, staring at Bai Ci, "Say it again!"

"Chu Yunze is the Zombie King." Bai Ci repeated it again. He looked at Feng Linxi's hands shaking uncontrollably, his eyes empty and he didn't know where to focus.

"Impossible..." Feng Linxi murmured, "How could Yunze... be the Zombie King..."

"Linxi, I know that you can't accept this fact now, but the fact is the fact. No matter how much you don't believe it, you can't change the fact that Chu Yunze is the Zombie King." Bai Ci said.

When watching Feng Linxi and Chu Yunze falling in love, Bai Ci felt a little scared. He was afraid that Feng Linxi would fall into it like in his previous life and end up being fooled by Chu Yunze.

But that won’t happen now. Feng Linxi, who knows Chu Yunze’s identity, will never fall into it like he did in his previous life. He will withdraw in time and will not let Chu Yunze’s conspiracy succeed.

"Linxi, Chu Yunze has been with you these days. I finally found a chance to be alone with you and tell you these things." Bai Ci said, "I know it's hard for you to accept all this suddenly, but no matter what, you have to calm down and listen to me. Then we can discuss how to deal with it together."

"I don't want to tell you everything at once. I also want to give you some time to calm down, but we don't have time. If we don't finish everything today, I don't know when we will be able to talk to Chu Yunze alone next time."

After all, given Chu Yunze's level of vigilance, it would be very difficult to send him away reasonably without making him suspect the purpose of the two of them being alone together.

Feng Linxi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, suppressing all the emotions in his heart, and said, "You say."

"Chu Yunze planted two mutant plant seeds in the planting area and the villa area of ​​the base, both of which have eavesdropping functions." Bai Ci said, "Among them, the poisonous heart orchid planted in the planting area is highly toxic. Once Chu Yunze activates it, the food in the planting area and the land that has been cultivated with great difficulty will be destroyed."

Feng Linxi closed his eyes and said, "He is really vicious."

If the planting area of ​​the base is destroyed, the food problem of the base will be enough to crush the base. If Chu Yunze were to create another zombie siege at this time, the base would not be able to hold out for long under the internal and external troubles.

"There is something even more vicious." Bai Ci said, "He planned to frame Yun An for the destruction of the planting area, but he didn't take action because Yun An didn't go to the planting area in the past few days."

Feng Linxi no longer wanted to think about why Chu Yunze wanted to frame Yun An. After all, the Zombie King wanted to get rid of the potential psychics, which was already the best reason.

He was thinking about how to protect Yun'an and the planting area.

Don’t let Yun’an go to the planting area?

Feng Linxi shook his head. This method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It can be delayed for a while, but it is impossible to solve the problem.

The fact that Chu Yunze planted the poisonous orchid in the planting area already showed that he wanted to destroy the planting area, and framing Yun An was just killing two birds with one stone.

Even if Yun An didn't go to the planting area, he would sooner or later activate the Poison Heart Orchid to destroy the planting area.

And Yun An must also take the blame.

What they had to do was to open up a new planting area before Chu Yunze took action, without letting anyone else in the base know.

As for Yun An, let him stay away from the planting area.

Just as Feng Linxi was thinking this, he heard Bai Ci say, "Yun An must take the blame for this."

Feng Linxi was stunned and asked, "Why?"

"Because Chu Yunze has my people around him." Bai Ci said, "At present, Chu Yunze only knows the connection between him and me, and doesn't know that I know so many things. But even so, Chu Yunze still assigned him two tasks. One is to find an opportunity to kill me. He pretended to do it, and I also dodged it."

"The other task is to find ways to lure Yun An to the planting area these days. This task is extremely simple for him, but it has been delayed for a few days, and coupled with the failure of his previous task, Chu Yunze has begun to get impatient."

Feng Linxi understood Bai Ci's meaning. Bai Ci's people had to complete one of the two tasks in order to avoid arousing Chu Yunze's suspicion and gain Chu Yunze's trust.

Yun An was wronged and had to bear the blame for no reason.

"There is an area behind the institute, which belongs to the institute. It is guarded and no one will easily step into it. We can move the planting area there quietly." Feng Linxi said, "After moving there, let your people lead Yun An to the planting area to take over this responsibility."

As for whether to tell Yun An, Feng Linxi was still hesitant. Logically speaking, as the person involved, Yun An should have the right to know. However, if he talked to Yun An, he would inevitably have to mention Chu Yunze's identity and Bai Ci's rebirth.

The fewer people know about these things, the better.

It’s not that Feng Linxi wants to cover up Chu Yunze’s identity, but with their current strength, they need to work together to take down even a level seven zombie, let alone a zombie king.

It just so happened that Chu Yunze still wanted to hide his identity and stay in the base, and he had no intention of taking any action at the moment. This was a good opportunity for them to make a plan.
