425 Whos Surrounded? (1/2)

Zhou Wen had been wearing the Truth Listener earring. Although he was still in the room, he immediately discovered a problem. He opened the door and walked out, only to see Ják standing there in the officer's uniform.

”We meet again. Not bad. You have protected my ingredients well.” Ják stared at Zhou Wen's body from head to toe as though he was examining his food.

”Aren't you afraid of being surrounded when entering a military camp so brazenly? You won't be able to escape like the previous time. Or should I say, is this just another one of your avatars?” Zhou Wen also stared at Ják as he sized him up.

Ják gave a sinister smile. ”It's hard to say who's being surrounded. As for this being my main body or my avatar, you can guess. If you're right, I can let you choose how I'll cook you.”

Zhou Wen silently held the Bamboo Blade. He didn't want to guess or say any nonsense like ”Release Lu Su.” To a person like Ják, those words were meaningless. Life was probably inferior to an ant to him.

To Zhou Wen's surprise, Ják pushed Lu Su towards him.

Zhou Wen didn't help Lu Su up. Instead, he took a few steps back and allowed Lu Su to stagger to the ground.

Lu Su was alarmed, puzzled about Zhou Wen's actions. Why wasn't he willing to even help her? She was just about to stand up when she heard Zhou Wen say, ”Sit there and don't move.”

Lu Su didn't know what Zhou Wen meant, but she knew that the situation wasn't right. Upon hearing Zhou Wen's words, she sat on the ground and didn't stand up. She had guessed that Ják was likely a member of the Special Inspector Bureau.

”Do we call for help?” Lu Su asked Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen shook his head slightly as his eyes remained peeled at Ják.

Ják laughed. ”There's no need to be so nervous. I did plant a Life Blast on her, but I didn't plan on detonating it. In fact, it's not just her. In the entire camp, everyone except you has been planted with a Life Blast. As long as I'm willing, I can hold a fireworks party here at any time. Do you want to see it?”

When Lu Su heard the words ”Life Blast”, her body trembled. She clearly knew what the words meant. She also knew why Zhou Wen hadn't helped her up. If Zhou Wen had touched her just now, she might have already exploded.

”Zhou Wen, don't bother about me. Inform the Deputy Governor. We can't let such a person leave no matter what,” Lu Su said through gritted teeth.

”It looks like you don't believe me.” Ják snapped his fingers and they heard continuous explosions in the encampment.

Zhou Wen and Lu Su watched as a soldier walked over and exploded. Such explosions rang several times in the other parts of the military camp. Zhou Wen counted silently in his heart and heard a total of five explosions.

Lu Su looked at the blood on the ground not far away and was dumbfounded. It wasn't as if she had never seen a dead person. Many people died fighting dimensional creatures, but this was the first time she had seen someone die like this.

Furthermore, Ják also said that all the people in the encampment, including her, had been planted with a Life Blast. Just thinking about how all the soldiers could explode in the same manner, Lu Su felt a chill down her spine and her body involuntarily trembled.

Lu Su finally believed what Zhou Wen had said. He wasn't afraid that someone among the soldiers would try to harm him, but that he would implicate them.
