Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse

"By the way, how come the others haven't come out after all this time? If they found out about what we talked about, things might become complicated." Vortex finally remembered the other teammates.

Only now did Silk think about Blaze and the others who were still in the apartment.

They looked at each other and turned to look towards the bedrooms. There was still no movement.

"I don't think those two are stupid enough to let others hear us. I am guessing they did something to prevent our conversation from leaking." Silk sounded more assured than he felt.

Just as they were wondering what to do if the others happened to hear them, the door to Blaze's room opened.

They turned to look at him only to see him look at them too for a while until they thought that they had been exposed.

Just as Vortex was about to speak, he heard Blaze ask first, "Have you guys been sitting here all this time looking at each other without speaking?"

Blaze had a genuinely curious expression on his face, which meant that he wasn't joking.

The two men on the sofa in the living room looked at each other in surprise.

"What do you mean? Weren't we just discussing how to identify the person with the meteorite just now?" Silk asked while observing Blaze to see if he was just testing them.

The reason he gave such an excuse was first to throw him off if he heard something about the meteorite by accident, and also find out if he was just asking that question to test them.

"Then we're you guys whispering so low that it felt like the house has become insulated and soundproof?" Blaze wondered out loud, which surprised the two soldiers.

They looked at each other and heaved a barely noticeable sigh. It looked like the two who had left not long ago did something to make sure that their conversation wasn't leaked.

So, they didn't have to worry about their commander finding out about their thoughts.

"Well, we couldn't shout about it. What if someone outside heard us? That would bring a lot of trouble. By the way, when should we make a move to find the real person with the meteorite?

Most of the people in this place have already left for the safe base." Vortex also chimed in and changed the subject while at it.

He didn't want to continue the topic and end up slipping.

"Can you still feel the energy signature left by the void-pulse of the space being used?" Raze had appeared behind Blaze at some point and asked this question.

"No, since we got here and identified the building, it's like that person hasn't used the space superpower again. There haven't been any fluctuations in space, so I can't figure out the specific person." Vortex now knew who had the meteorite, but he had to pretend not to know and also throw the others off.

"So many people have left these two days. Do you think that person has left? And if they have, is this a good or a bad thing?" Silk asked with a heavy expression.

In fact, even though he knew who had the meteorite, he still had reservations. What if those two came to see them so that they could take in the firepower and protect the real person who had the meteorite?

This had not been eliminated from the number of reasons why someone who was completely safe in hiding came out on their own to put a target on their backs.

Even though he didn't think that Lu Zhen would do something so unrewarding, Silk still felt that until they really formed an alliance and he saw the meteorite, then he wouldn't be too trusting.

However, he also wasn't going to divulge what they had just talked about to the rest. He could not risk Commander Qui finding out, especially if he really was involved in human experiments.

While they talked about what action to take, Leng Pan and Lu Zhen went back to their apartment leisurely.

"Do you think they will keep what we just talked about to themselves?" Leng Pan was still skeptical about the decision they made.

However, since the deed was already done, there was no need to worry about such things, she could only lament about it to her husband.

"I trust our judgement. I don't think those two would risk more people dying just because of doubts.

They will come to us soon and accept our offer. However, we need to think about whether to really let them go back to the base." Lu Zhen replied patiently to his wife as they climbed the stairs in their building.

"Why not let them go back?" Leng Pan didn't understand this.

Weren't they recruiting them to turn them into spies next to the commander? Why would they not let them go then?

"I have a feeling that they are too righteous and might take unnecessary risks once they go back. Especially since they know that there is an experiment lab within the grounds of the military base.

If they start snooping around and they are caught, they might not sell us out, but they will definitely not survive.

And if they are not given a chance to contact us so that we can go and save them, they might die before we even realize what was happening." Lu Zhen was quite good at reading people and he could tell that the two soldiers would not ignore the prospect of citizens suffering in a lab somewhere.

They will take action and that might lead to death.

Leng Pan thought about it and felt that he was right. Those two soldiers were too honest. In that case, it was better not to let them go back to the base.

"Then we should hope that Ouyang Jin's man can come out before these guys go back to the base. If he is not out by then, things might become more complicated." Leng Pan sighed with a heavy heart.

She hoped that the people in that lab could be saved.

Thank you everyone for your support. Sorry I haven't managed the mass release of five chapters as promised. I had expected my health to bounce back quickly after treatment so that I could write more chapters for you guys. But it seemed I overestimated myself.

I still have to use medication every now and then when writing, but I promise to give you more chapters as soon as I am better. Thank you everyone.
