"Khan, it’s taken care of." Bai Huipeng took out the Evolution Crystal Core from the corpse of the Order Guard and nodded to Tang Ye.
Everyone regathered, Gong Xiao, who had already arrived at the location, did the sa.
Every individual here was of the Level 8 stratum, standing together unconsciously exuding an aura that made the air sowhat oppressive.
Tang Ye’s gaze settled on Gong Xiao, who quickly understood, "They’re alive."
After saying this to Tang Ye, Gong Xiao looked towards a certain spot and shouted, "Co out, stop hiding."
"Ah! Oh... okay!"
At her voice, the Zhou-surnad woman trembled as she walked out, looking at Gong Xiao with fear in her eyes. She never imagined that this beautiful woman who seed like a fairy from heaven and a bit silly would turn out to be a Level 8 Powerhouse!
The intense contrast caught her off-guard. She stepped out from the corridor that was exposed when a wall had been destroyed, every step she took was extrely cautious, and each part of her body, even her lips and eyes, trembled with her slight movents. Clearly, her body was struggling, instinctively refusing to approach Tang Ye and his group.
"Who are you people?" She looked at Tang Ye and his companions. She recognized Su Sigui, but aside from her, there was another man who looked like a leader, whom she didn’t recognize at all.
Hearing her words, Yu Jianghui couldn’t help but tease: "What people? We’re of course the good guys."
The Zhou-surnad woman ignored Yu Jianghui’s mockery, her gaze fixed on Tang Ye, tense to the extre.
Her situation could very well be likened to dancing on a tightrope, a misstep would an shattering to pieces. If the others took offense, her death would an nothing, stirring not the slightest ripple!
Ever since entering the research institute, it was rare for her to encounter such situations, having long grown accustod to its safety. Now with the situation suddenly changing like this, one could only imagine the fear in her heart.
"Don’t worry, as long as you don’t anger , at least you’re safe. Now, simply answer whatever I ask."
"Ah? Oh okay?" The woman was initially startled, then nodded frantically like a pecking chicken.
"Who’s in charge of this place?"
"It’s our director, nad Qu Yangming. He seems to oversee so kind of council above us, I only know this much, nothing specific."
Tang Ye and Su Sigui exchanged glances, Su Sigui muttered to herself: "So it’s him. Many people guessed right, but including myself, we outsmarted ourselves and weren’t sure."
Tang Ye nodded, indeed that was the case. Qu Yangming’s peculiar hobby was known since the research institute changed hands; it was common knowledge that the Order Guards had beco all those handso n and pretty won. From this bad taste, it was easy to guess those characters with similar quirks; but also because of this, those who overthought beca hesitant.
"Good, second question, has the position of director here changed before?"
The Zhou-surnad woman hesitated for a mont, then finally nodded: "Yes."
"Who was the director before?"
"We don’t know that. I’ve hardly ever seen the forr director, only knew their Order Guards."
"Ning Tianlang?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Was that director female?"
"It seems so."
Tang Ye fell silent, as nurous questions suddenly erged in his mind, but they were beyond what this Zhou-surnad woman could answer. He must get answers from Su Sigui.
He glanced at Su Sigui next to him, and just as he averted his gaze, she turned to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion. However, she quickly seed to recall sothing, falling into contemplation, her attention drifting elsewhere.
"So how did this place end up like this? When did it happen?"
"This... I’m not too clear, it felt very sudden. The previous director disappeared, and not long after, the current director took over, about two years ago."
"Two years ago?" Su Sigui questioned.
And the woman hastily added, "Around mid-May."
"Two years ago, around mid-May, probably around the 14th," said Su Sigui, pondering to herself.
Tang Ye looked at her, utterly puzzled, he asked, "How do you know?"
"At that ti, there was a mass uprising of red feather birds that affected many residents, assaulting the council building. We were also wondering why the originally gentle red feather birds suddenly beca so aggressive. It seems related to the change in directors," Su Sigui said, looking at Tang Ye, but her eyes betrayed strange emotions.
"Perhaps, the person you’re looking for is related to the red feather birds."
That statent suddenly reminded Tang Ye of the disfigured red feather bird bitten by the spider, the sa bird that had led him back to Lin City, leaving a deep impression on him.
Against their nature, red feather birds avoid humans, swarming the skies above the Human Sanctuary City. Their feathers can be used as materials, but no one can touch them, or even get close. Any human approaching within six ters would prompt them to fly away rapidly. Only strong individuals with twisted humor would forcibly capture them.
The top flight speed of red feather birds can reach 500 kiloters per hour, faster than many modes of transport before the Apocalypse. Because of this, they were creatures that could be seen but not reached. Yet, such creatures had actively approached him, which puzzled Tang Ye.
At least, he had never seen anyone touch them without restraining them.
Seeing Tang Ye once again fall silent, the Zhou-surnad woman hesitated for a while before asking, "Is there... anything else?"
Tang Ye ca back to his senses, nodded, and asked, "You ntioned that below the second floor there was an Oga Order Guard, is that true?"
The woman was dumbfounded, she didn’t recall ntioning this to the stranger who appeared extrely unfamiliar.
She glanced at Gong Xiao, completely confused if there had been an incident around her when she had spoken before.
Just as she was about to respond, Tang Ye interrupted, "Let’s leave it there, there are people coming from below."
The woman realized what was happening and noticed that all of the Level 8 Powerhouses around her were taking combat stances. She imdiately understood and hastened, "I’ll leave first!"
No one minded her, and seeing this, she hurriedly ran off.
After a while, the wall in the direction Tang Ye and the others were facing was violently smashed open to reveal a cadre of handso Order Guards!
