Chapter 159: The Buried City
"I found something else. It points to a place that had always been termed as a ruined city, but the information I found suggested that there was more to that place than meets the eye." Lu Tao continued as he opened a drawer and took out a stack of papers.
There was some scarce information printed on it, but it showed the location of their next destination clearly. Yes, even before knowing much, Lu Zhen and Leng Pan had already made up their minds to go there.
It was indicated as an old abandoned lab in a small town that went up in smoke from an earthquake many years ago. However, the information in the papers in their hands seemed to suggest that the earthquake might have been manmade.
They didn’t understand what was there to hide that could cause someone to take a step into sinking a whole town. But they were going to find out.
Assistant Yao sat at the side without saying anything because he still didn’t understand what was going on but since his boss didn’t explain, he didn’t ask either.
"When do you plan to go? I can go with you." Lu Tao offered because he also wanted to do something exciting with his brother.
However, Lu Zhen rejected him right away. He couldn’t take any risk without knowing everything yet. All he had now were some scattered memories from a past he hadn’t kown existed until a while ago and enemies he didn’t understand.
He could not pull his younger brother into such a dangerous situation without understanding everything fully.
However, he didn’t plan to cut his brother off completely. He could still participate in the mission, but he had to do it remotely. What was all the compromise Lu Zhen was willing to make, and Lu Tao knowing his brother well didn’t insist. He was content with being a part of the mission even if he would participate while sitting at home.
He didn’t want to be a burden to his brother anyway and he had seen how zombies could be challenging at times. Therefore, he didn’t argue. He would what he could to protect his brother and sister-in-law and finding as much detailed information as possible was one way.
