Chapter 238: Number Zero
City of Qingyang.
Yuehai Hotel.
It’s still the same private room as last time.
But when Luo Yan walked in, he noticed that Hong Dongxing’s twin sisters, who he often saw with him, were not there today.
In their place was another woman.
The woman had long straight black hair, wore glasses, and had a very beautiful face but seemed expressionless and cold, with no warmth in her eyes.
Guang Qi!
“Little Luo, let me introduce you.”
Hong Dongxing personally made tea for them, “This is Miss Guang Qi.”
“Miss Guang Qi has helped us a lot this time, just like I mentioned in the message, we found Chu Zhao because of her.”
Luo Yan glanced at Guang Qi and nodded slightly.
Just like Hong Dongxing said before, he’s coming to Yuhai today because he mentioned that he found Chu Zhao.
Unexpected.
He actually asked Guang Qi for help, and “Nine Phoenix” for help.
Hong Dongxing seemed unaware that Luo Yan and Guang Qi already knew each other, chuckled and said, “I’ve been trying to find that old guy Chu Zhao, but he’s hiding really well.”
“And to be honest, finding people is not my strong suit.”
“For professional matters, it’s best to let the experts handle it.”
“Miss Guang Qi and her team are the experts in this area.”
Guang Qi modestly replied, “I don’t deserve such praise.”
Then she placed a tablet on the table.
“Chu Zhao’s hiding spot is here.”
“In a small town in the wilderness over 200 kilometers away from the underground city.”
“The town used to be a base, but now it looks abandoned, though that’s just on the surface.”
“The Chu family must have secretly taken over the town and made many arrangements behind the scenes.”
“We found that the town’s power plant is working and there is running water.”
“There is a small food processing plant that can meet the daily needs of hundreds of people.”
“This is a photo we took with a drone.”
A photo of an office building appeared on the computer screen.
Looking through the window, you can see an old man working inside.
This old man, he is Chu Zhao.
Hong Dongxing looked at Luo Yan and asked, “Classmate Luo, when do you think we should take action?”
“Take action?”
Luo Yan looked at the computer screen and said, “We don’t need to take action ourselves.”
“Chu Zhao is now a wanted criminal. If there is any action to be taken, it will be the Qingyang City officials who will do it.”
“Can you give me the coordinates of this small town?”

Nameless town.
Night.
Chu Zhao stood by the window, watching the lights flicker in the dark town.
This was one of his secret cards.
Two years ago when this ground base was abandoned, Chu Zhao used his wealth and influence to secretly take over without alerting anyone.
Later, he built a huge experimental base underground.
The nursery lab was just used for research on some side projects, and to collect cells and data of giant beasts from the forbidden zone.
“Dad, it’s windy here, let’s go inside.”
Chu Tianmei brought over a coat.
He draped the coat over his elderly father.
Chu Zhao looked out of the window and said, “I forgot how long it’s been since I saw the real night sky.”
He pointed at the sky above the town, “Look, after humans disappeared from the surface, the night sky became clearer and more beautiful.”
“Nights like this, I only remember seeing them when I was a child in the countryside.”
Chu Zhao turned around and softly said, “Time flies by so fast.”
He looked at his daughter.
“I still remember when you were born, I held you in my arms from the nurse.”
“You opened your eyes and looked at me.”
“At that moment, I vowed to spend my whole life protecting you, my dear Chu Zhao.”
“Protect my family.”
“Unfortunately, I cannot protect your mother.”
“But those people in Qingyang City, don’t think about bullying my children.”
Chu Tianmei held onto her father, “Dad, can Qingyang City agree to our request?”
Chu Zhao smiled, “Number Zero is ready for combat now, later, I will let it ‘perform’ a little.”
“After seeing its performance, I believe Qingyang City will know what to do.”
“Unfortunately, Number Zero’s success was a chance event, hard to replicate.”
“So far, including the one that was eliminated, we have had ten test subjects.”
“They all originated from Number Zero.”
“But none of them can compare to Number Zero.”
“They couldn’t surpass the limits of ordinary living beings to reach the scale of a giant beast.”
“Otherwise, not to mention Qingyang City, even other underground cities will have to rely on the Chu family in the future.”
Chu Tianmei asked quietly, “Dad, what exactly is Number Zero?”
Chu Zhao glanced at her, “You will soon find out.”
They left the office, feeling the wind blowing, lifting several documents on the table.
One of the documents was blown to the ground.
On that document, there was a photograph.
In the photo, there seemed to be a cultivation tank, but it was incredibly huge, making the person standing in front of it look like an ant.
In the cultivation tank, there were faint black shadows, almost occupying every corner of the tank.
At this moment.
Outside the small town.
On a high slope, figures emerged one by one, looking down at the brightly lit town below.
Shen Biao put down the telescope and exclaimed, “If it wasn’t for the information provided by Little Luo this time, we might have taken a while longer to find this town.”
Dressed in black, carrying Crack Star on his back, Luo Yan lay on the ground beside Shen Biao.
The night wind blew through his black hair, and under the flying strands, a pair of red eyes burned quietly like bright flames in the dark night.
He looked at the office building in the photo of Guang Qi and said, “The Chu Zhao family should live in that building.”
Shen Biao nodded. He had just looked through the telescope and saw that the small building was heavily guarded.
Chu Zhao might live in that building.
“Our task this time, is to find out what Chu Zhao is hiding.”
“Certainly, based on the last incident, Chu Zhao may have control over other ‘bio-weapons’, and not just one.”
“But if that’s the case, it may not be enough to challenge the underground city.”
“So we need to find out more about him, so that the army can successfully attack this town.”
“This is the top priority.”
“If we can catch Chu Zhao and his children while ensuring the top priority, it would be even better.”
“So, Little Luo and I will investigate that big building later.”
“You guys investigate other places.”
“Remember, try to keep it a secret.”
After some instructions, Shen Biao made a gesture.
The group split up, and the mission began!
Luo Yan followed Shen Biao down the slope.
After receiving the coordinates of the small town in the daytime, he informed the army.
The army quickly planned the operation.
Luo Yan also requested to join.
That’s why they are together with Shen Biao now.
After sneaking into the small town.
Luo Yan and Shen Biao, quietly moving through the building.
To avoid attracting attention, there were very few people inside the building.
This benefited Luo Yan and Shen Biao.
Before long.
They had already reached the vicinity of the office building.
Outside the office building, there was a fence surrounding it and a few off-road vehicles parked.
Mercenaries patrolled around, making it look difficult to sneak in.
