197 Try to Catch Them Alive
The man became more agitated as he spoke. Du Yue’s and He Xing’s hearts sank. Could the king really let his subordinates live for hundreds of years? Could it be that he had the same background as He Xing?
While He Xing was still in a daze, the man on the ground suddenly jumped up, pulled out a knife from somewhere, and stabbed He Xing in the chest. He Xing dodged sideways and shot the man in the head. The man fell to the ground with disbelief in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
Du Yue looked at the man’s body and frowned. “Why did you kill him? Maybe he could’ve come in handy.” Perhaps they could get some information from the man after torturing him a little.
He Xing shook his head. “There’s no need for that. If he’s really a core figure, he definitely wouldn’t be sent out to be a scapegoat. No matter what methods we use, I don’t think we’ll be able to get any useful information.”
Du Yue thought about it and felt that He Xing was right. “It’s okay. If he’s killed, then so be it. There are still so many people outside. We can always catch someone who knows the truth,” Du Yue comforted him gently.
He Xing ruffled Du Yue’s hair. “You don’t have to comfort me.”
Even if that person was really like him, someone from the galactic, he would definitely not show mercy. Everything else was just a lie. It was true that people of different paths could not work together.
Seeing that He Xing had accepted the situation, Du Yue did not say anything more. He Xing sent a message to Zuo Mingdong, and he quickly replied and told them his location. The two of them went to look for him together. When they saw Zuo Mingdong, his face was serious and a little haggard. His eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not had a good night’s sleep for several days.
Seeing He Xing and Du Yue coming over, Zuo Mingdong frowned unconsciously. “It’s so chaotic outside. What are you guys doing out here?” He had warned them so that they could hide at home, not to let them take the risk of going out. However, the two of them came directly to the front line.
He Xing smiled at Zuo Mingdong. “We caught a man who jumped down from the wall over there just now. We’ve taken care of him. But I think he’s definitely not the only one who sneaked in. You should tell your men to be more careful.”
As soon as Zuo Mingdong heard this, he could not care about anything else and immediately ordered Lu Lin to bring some people to investigate.
The area of the base was large, and it was indeed much more comfortable to stay here. However, there were also disadvantages. At this time, the disadvantages were obvious. Especially now that the fog was thick, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, Du Yue and He Xing were not too worried. Zuo Mingdong and his men were not useless. If they could not even do such a simple task, they would not be able to sit in their positions today.
“If you can catch someone alive, please tell me. I have something to ask them,” He Xing said after some thought.
When Zuo Mingdong heard this, he looked at He Xing in confusion. He had known He Xing for a long time, so he had some understanding of his personality. He Xing had never cared about or meddled in things that had nothing to do with him. According to He Xing’s personality in the past, the most he would have done was to give him a warning. However, now, not only did He Xing come to the front line despite the danger, but he also said that he had something to ask the person they caught. This made Zuo Mingdong find it a little strange.
Noticing the doubt in Zuo Mingdong’s eyes, He Xing explained, “I suspect that the leader of this trouble-making may be someone from my hometown. He Xing had never mentioned where he came from, and Zuo Mingdong had never asked. However, with He Xing’s ability, if the person behind the survivors was really from the same background as He Xing and had ill intentions toward the base, then it would be troublesome.
Knowing the reason, Zuo Mingdong did not hesitate anymore. “Okay, we’ll try to catch them alive. I’ll contact you when the time comes.”
After discussing this matter with Zuo Mingdong, Du Yue and He Xing did not stay any longer. The people from the base were not easy to deal with. With their powerful force, they managed to control all the people who were causing trouble in the base.
The people outside did not give up and still wanted to ignite flames. As soon as they made a little noise, they were killed by the snipers hidden in the dark. Even if the fog outside was thick, as long as they had enough time, it would not be difficult to find the people making a ruckus and kill them.
After a few people were killed, it was finally quiet outside. The thick fog became Du Yue and He Xing’s cover. They came silently and left sneakily.
