Chapter Two-in-One
"Is it him?"
At the entrance of the Divine Hall Base, Tong Hu squinted at a young man held by a woman who was emanating a night-like glow with an iron rod.
The woman nodded, "Lu Lan."
The expressions of Mo Ye, Shengyuan, Tong Hu, and Xiaoli changed as they looked at the man.
A person who should have been dead, how did he come back to life?
In the Competition of Death Roulette, aside from the people from Cloud Summit Villa, only Dr. He managed to escape after paying a price, while the others perished there, including Lu Lan. If it weren't for the spies from Cloud Summit infiltrating the Divine Hall Base, they might not have known this news.
However, once they learned of this, after consulting Ye Zhongming, Xia Lei discussed it with Liu Zhenghong, and they unanimously concluded that this person either possessed certain resurrection equipment, or he had a very special profession or bloodline. There was also the possibility that the Divine Hall conducted certain experiments on him.
If it's the first two, it's naturally not terrifying, because whether it's equipment or profession, this kind of resurrection wouldn't be limitless; there must be limits. But if it's the third possibility, then this technology is something even Liu Zhenghong lacks.
Two words: valuable!
Moreover, it’s extremely valuable!
Xia Lei's primary goal for the raid on the Divine Hall was their biotechnology. Although Liu Zhenghong was a prominent figure in this field, his research primarily focused on human genes and related branches. In contrast, the Divine Hall excelled in cultivating mutated life forms, and the high-level mutated creatures made Cloud Summit envious. Thus, Xia Lei had long been eyeing this, and after careful preparation, she launched the raid.
In addition, the researchers and equipment here were also targets for plunder.
Lu Lan, on the other hand, was the third point.
Regardless of the era, immortality has always been a pursuit for some, even in the modern age. It's just that the advancement of science and medicine made everyone aware that immortality is impossible, leading to a decline in such pursuits.
But have people forgotten? No! Instead, many have developed greater expectations.
Now, with the apocalypse's arrival and human evolution, people saw another potential path to realize this wish; how could they let it go?
Naturally, Xia Lei wasn't seeking immortality; she wasn't pursuing that yet. However, the allure of resurrection was significant; it could almost grant a person one or even countless lives, making someone truly indestructible.
So, upon discovering Lu Lan’s rebirth, she designated him as a target that must be captured.
After exchanging greetings with Mo Ye and the others, the woman took Lu Lan and left the Divine Hall Base, disappearing into the night.
A few core members of Cloud Summit fell into silence for a moment, no one speaking.
Even though Xia Lei hadn't revealed anything, they had already sensed that a new underground force had formed within Cloud Summit, and it was beginning to play a significant role.
Of course, they didn't believe this force was aimed at them. The recent Flame Tiger Project indicated that this organization was primarily external. However, this was still a sword hanging over the heads of all Cloud Summit people, constantly reminding them not to betray the organization.
Although there was a slight discomfort in their hearts, they didn't harbor resentment. They all understood that both rewards and threats were good methods to maintain stability in a force. Ye Zhongming had bestowed numerous benefits, but not everyone would remember gratitude, and problems would inevitably arise in the future. Thus, having such an organization looming over everyone wasn't entirely a bad thing.
Whether it was Mo Ye, Shengyuan, or Tong Hu, they were all Ye Zhongming's staunch supporters; this matter passed through their minds without lingering.
As long as they remained loyal, this mysterious force would only benefit them.
At that moment, the Divine Hall Base was already filled with the sounds of battle and the continuous explosions of energy.
