"...So your current status allows you to investigate him so thoroughly." Miao Yin raised a brow, her tone somewhat ambiguous.

Peng Si understood the implication in her words, but instead of answering directly, he continued speaking.

“I don’t believe you chose Yecheng as the location for the transaction randomly, so I specifically checked it out.”

"It takes four hours to drive from Mengcheng to Yecheng, even if you drive without stopping. It's not close, but it's not too far either. There's a forest park along the way, so it's a good option if you want to transport people here."

"Yecheng is also a well-known biotechnology city with numerous hospitals, many medical universities and biological research institutes located here, and it has no shortage of large medical equipment that is difficult to move."

"Cancer, capturing superhumans, human transportation, biotechnology..."

Peng Si's voice suddenly softened, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face: "He's conducting human experiments here, isn't he?"

He didn't make a definitive statement because these were all just speculations, without concrete evidence, and therefore could not be confirmed.

But the person who might know the truth is the one right in front of you...

She didn't deny it, but just looked at him quietly, her eyes showing neither sadness nor joy.

The answer is then quite obvious.

"...And what about you? What do you want to do?" Peng Si asked.

Peng Si pondered this problem for countless days and nights.

To monopolize scientific research results?

impossible.

It's only been four months since the apocalypse began, how much can they possibly achieve? She also thought that if Li Kangping died, the people in the lab would run out of supplies, and the experiments would inevitably stop.

Inheritance experiment?

That's impossible; she's never had any knowledge in this area, so how could she possibly continue this experiment?

Destroy the lab to save innocent victims?

Don't joke around, she's not some great philanthropist.

So the most likely explanation is only one.

She is looking for someone.

Find someone who is currently in that lab.

Of course, Peng Si did not think that Miao Yin was the type to save people for no reason.

If she is truly looking for someone, then that person must possess something she desires, which is why she would travel thousands of miles from the ancient capital to Yecheng.

"That's my business. As for you, that's all you need to do. The previous secrecy remains in effect. Apart from that, I won't kill you indiscriminately."

Miao Yin refused his inquiry.

"Your superpower is on me. Even if I'm unwilling, this is all I can do. But I want to ask one last question."

"—Will you destroy that lab?"

Miao Yin chuckled and said, "From now on, your understanding of the laboratory will only extend to this point."

Peng Si let out a deep breath.

"That's good."

"Let's end this meeting here; I should be going now."

Miao Yin turned around, but stopped abruptly at the top of the stairs, turning back to say, "Oh, right, there's one more thing—"

"One building rises, another collapses. Captain Peng, I congratulate you in advance on your upcoming promotion."

After Miao Yin left, Peng Si stood there for a long time before turning around, opening the tightly closed window, and looking outside—

Tonight there are no stars or moon in the sky, and the clouds are exceptionally dark...

……

Miao Yin had planned to go back to the hotel to rest after getting the box, and then find time to go out again.

However, the information Peng Si had just revealed to her made her give up on this option.

He investigated too quickly and too thoroughly.

Even though he didn't reveal how Li Kangping arrested people or the specific procedures for transporting them, it's clear from what he just said that he already knew all of this.

The base has only been established for a short time, and there are rescue missions everywhere. Where would he find so much time to investigate so many things?

Moreover, with the power he currently wields, how could he possibly be an opponent of Li Kangping, who was already incredibly powerful before the apocalypse and now controls half of the base's real power?

In his previous life, Peng Si died in Dong Ai Community, while Li Kangping fell from power within two years.

The official explanation for his downfall was that he embezzled resources and lined his own pockets, without mentioning human experimentation at all, and he was ultimately executed by firing squad.

Therefore, before Peng Si, someone had already been secretly collecting evidence of Li Kangping's crimes, and under the increasingly powerful influence of the other party, they managed to find the evidence in less than two years and directly brought him down.

Such a person is most likely either at the same level or at a lower level.

And there was more than one person, and all of them held positions above Peng Si.

Because of her deal, Peng Si began investigating Li Kangping, and that group of people happened to be doing the same thing, so they discovered him.

He didn't know what reason he used to join that faction, and so they shared intelligence with him.

The other party's original intention was to win over Peng Si, this rising star, to help monitor the military, and then work together to bring down Li Kangping.

But unexpectedly, Peng Si was under her curse. Without even collecting evidence, after learning the whole story, she simply killed him!

The result is the same, but the process is incorrect.

Peng Si's trip to Yecheng this time wasn't just to deliver something to her.

They were clearly running for their lives!

It's unclear which faction wants to kill him, or if it's either of them.

However, if he gets through this ordeal, given his current prestige among the people, the base will definitely need him in the future.

That's why Miao Yin said, "Congratulations on your promotion."

After all, the fact that the people of Pengsi are all here unharmed means that he can get through this.

Having a sense of justice allows you to control your subordinates, and having a little leverage allows you to get to your superiors. In today's base, isn't that why you're more easily accepted?

But these are digressions.

On the other hand, putting aside what happened after his death, did Li Kangping, who was living, really feel nothing at all, with a group of people investigating him behind his back and doing something wrong?

Miao Yin thought to herself that if it were her doing such a thing, she would definitely be on guard at all times, set up spies, and take certain protective measures.

Li Kangping must have had similar thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have specially installed a self-destruct device in the laboratory. If something went wrong, he could destroy the entire laboratory without leaving any evidence.

That's why, since Miao Yin wasn't very clear about the laboratory's secrets, she didn't try to break through directly, but instead chose to sneak in using the "eye" that could open the laboratory door.

Li Kangping is meticulous and cautious in his work. In the huge laboratory, even the leaders are unaware of his true identity. They usually communicate with him in a special way and not frequently.

So even if he were killed, the isolated laboratory wouldn't discover it for a while and wouldn't activate the self-destruct device.

The only possible source of error is Peng Si's sudden entry into the situation.

Because of Peng Si's sudden attention, he privately discussed with the people in the laboratory how often to contact him, or instructed his subordinates to keep a close watch on him, and to blow up the laboratory immediately if anything happened to him.

Such a possibility is small, but not impossible.

Miao Yin didn't want to travel all that way only to find ruins.
