Chapter 144 - 144 144 Return
?Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Return Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Return Two days had passed, and they had scoured every inch of the Death Bone Prison, ultimately finding nothing. Fake Zongfang, unable to find the Black Box, began to grow impatient.
As the sun set, Qiao Suisui and Carl took refuge in an abandoned warehouse, its walls blotched and the flickering light creating a tense atmosphere. Scattered in front of them was a pile of disordered documents and photographs, all depicting scenes of village life from years ago in Dudleyne.
After these days of delay and investigation, Qiao Suisui had developed a hypothesis that was infinitely close to the truth.
“Carl, these documents…” she pointed at a yellowed medical report, her voice tinged with excitement, “look at these dates and the records of symptoms, the villagers started showing symptoms almost at the same time, this is definitely not a coincidence.”
Carl looked at the report and frowned in deep thought. “These symptoms, they’re too similar to the typical reactions from a chemical leakage.”
“Here’s an incomplete investigation report showing that the village’s water source had undergone a drastic chemical change during the time before it was bombed. I think this is related to the discharge system of the underground laboratory.”
“You mean… the chemicals from the underground laboratory’s medicines were discharged into the villagers’ water source, making them aware of the laboratory’s existence, so the Federation, fearing the leak of information, decided to silence them.”
Qiao Suisui nodded. The truth was on the verge of emerging.
Suddenly, footsteps came from outside. Qiao Suisui and Carl simultaneously fixed their gazes on the door.
‘Knock knock.’
The knocking tensed Qiao Suisui’s nerves instantly.
‘Knock knock.’
With each successive knock, she even forgot to breathe.
