Home/ Stopping the Handsome and Tragic Male Lead After 404/ Chapter 57 (Part 1)
Qiao Nan let go of Chu Mu and smiled sweetly. Chu Mu looked at Qiao Nan with deep eyes, but just remained silent.
And when Qiao Nan turned to look at Shi Qin and Cheng Yu, he found that both of them seemed to be frozen on the spot.
“You two are also……”
Shi Qin: “No!”
Cheng Yu: …
Qiao Nan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them with an unclear gaze. “I understand.”
When Shi Qin heard the tone, he really wanted to explain, but he didn’t know what to explain, only feeling a hairy sensation on his back.
Cheng Yu also seemed to have just come back to his senses, but he couldn’t hide the surprise on his face. Previously, when he learned about the relationship between Shao Yan and Fu Xuzhou, it was still one-way and there were no obvious signs, but the two people in front of him really gave him a huge shock.
He actually saw two men kissing.
For a moment, he remembered how Shi Qin Chao approached him just now, and his thoughts were all messed up.
Regardless of the chaotic expression of the two straight men, Qiao Nan first introduced himself and acted extremely friendly.
He looked no different from a woman in his make-up and attire, especially the figure.
But seeing Qiao Nan take out two prototype cushions from the collar in front of them, the corners of their mouths twitched.
After removing the makeup on his face, he looks like that kind of white, tender, and clever little fresh meat. Sure enough, all the cute ones are boys.
It’s no wonder that at the beginning, Shi Qin always felt that something was wrong with this Qiao Nan. Perhaps because he himself had worn women’s clothing before and had some experience, Shi Qin had an intuition that Qiao Nan in that female clothing looked somewhat strange. But Qiao Nan’s disguise is on a different level, and it is incomparable to his own.
At this moment, Shi Qin was really amazed by Qiao Nan’s camouflage skills.
Qiao Nan began to introduce the man next to him, “His name is Chu Mu, and he used to be a member of the Mission Corps.”
Shi Qin frowned, “Is he an awakened?”
“Can you tell?” Qiao Nan was pleasantly surprised: “Sure enough, zombies can smell the difference between the awakeners and ordinary people?”
Shi Qin shook his head, “He smells different from ordinary awakeners.”
“It’s really amazing that you can tell the difference.” Qiao Nan said thoughtfully: “But since it’s different, how can you be sure it’s different from ordinary awakeners?”
“Because…he is different from human beings.” Shi Qin said awkwardly. His rhetoric was actually not because of the smell, but because of the name.
Ice Blade Chu Mu, an awakened, is one of the male lead’s subordinates. He is very ruthless and indifferent to everything. This man is skilled in assassination and likes to act alone to complete tasks. Among the male lead’s subordinates, he is considered the second best soldier with the top combat ability. However, it seems that his loyalty was not high, and he always carried a human prisoner with him, acting like a slave.
Shi Qin had also seen a fanart— a man held a sharp blade in one hand and a chain in the other hand, with one end of the chain tied to a withered human neck.
Even if you use the awakening potion, you can’t take advantage of that fifty percent chance to become an awakened person. In such a situation, the person should be killed, but there are also exceptions, and Chu Mu’s slave was among a few ordinary humans in Cheng Yu’s empire of awakeners.
So right now, the person in front of him is Chu Mu, also known as Ice Blade?
Although this man also looks cold and indifferent, he doesn’t look like someone who would treat humans as slaves.
He and Qiao Nan are a pair, which means that he accepts human beings.
However, Shi Qin didn’t read the whole novel and only knew that Ice Blade Chu Mu likes to enslave humans. But the person in front of him is completely different from the figure shown in the fanart. In the end, it’s hard to tell whether Chu Mu in that fanart was holding a human or just a symbol of humanity.
But if it were a human….. it couldn’t be Qiao Nan, right?
At this moment, Shi Qin was trying his best to recall the contents of the novel, but the information was limited.
Cheng Yu suddenly asked: “So, you are the ones who provided information to the Crescent Moon? You are also the ones who went to the strange doctor a year ago, provided him with the method of feeding the zombies and took away the masking agent.”
Shi Qin suddenly came back to his senses. That’s right, according to the identities of the two of them, they should be the duo of that ordinary person and the awakener.
Qiao Nan didn’t deny it either. In fact, it was a coincidence that they met outside the base. It was Qiao Nan who found out that something was wrong with them. He just wanted to test why Cheng Yu and the others didn’t go directly to the base but wanted to investigate first.
So Qiao Nan asked Chu Mu to help control the zombies to create a scene. In the end, it was discovered that their group had two awakened people and a zombie. At this moment, they thought that the Crescent Moon had sent someone again. They wanted to investigate clearly and prevent them from entering the base again, but they didn’t expect Cheng Yu and Shi Qin to enter so smoothly.
“Why did you lose contact with the ‘Crescent Moon’?” Cheng Yu asked.
“Because we discovered that there were traitors in either Crescent Moon or the Black Wolf Base. Although the people from the Crescent Moon joined us smoothly, they were quickly caught. Obviously, Chu Mu and I have stayed here for a long time, and there has never been an accident. After they were caught, the entire base was subjected to a large-scale investigation. We almost got exposed, so we didn’t dare to contact the people in the Crescent Moon. It seems that they sent someone again, but still failed, and this is already the third group now. You people from Crescent Moon really impress me, why don’t you just give up?”
“We were entrusted by someone to find a person named Lu Xu.” Shi Qin said.
“I know him, it’s the guy who didn’t look very smart among the first batch of people. He was also caught, but I don’t know if he is dead or not.” Qiao Nan said.
Shi Qin and Cheng Yu couldn’t help but frown when they thought about what they saw tonight.
“Are you still staying here just to save those awakened people?” Shi Qin asked suspiciously.
“That’s not the case. I mainly want to go to the research centre to find some information.” Qiao Nan pointed to himself and said, “I study science.”
In fact, the information provided by Qiao Nan and Chu Mu to the Crescent Moon was true. They also wanted to use the extra manpower to save people, and at the same time, they could fish in troubled waters to search for information. It could be considered a win-win situation.
But they didn’t expect that there was a traitor. Although they didn’t have the chivalrous idea of saving people, they didn’t want others to continue to fall into the trap, so they directly cut off contact.
“We just wanted to look for our own things, and try to find a way to investigate and see if we could save people. If we could save people, we would help them. If we couldn’t, we would just forget about it. Of course, there is also that traitor. We really like the Black Wolf Base and don’t want them to be in danger, so we also wanted to see if we could find out who the traitor is. This way we can explain it when we go back.”
Listening to what they said, Shi Qin and Cheng Yu understood what happened.
“So, have you got any results from your investigation?” Shi Qin continued to ask.
Qiao Nan pointed at Chu Mu helplessly and said, “I am just a frail scholar, and although he can fight and control zombies, there are jammers inside. He also doesn’t have any sense of direction, and the progress is very slow. If it weren’t for this, we wouldn’t want to cooperate with Crescent Moon.”
In short, they are kind of stuck right now.
Afterwards, the four of them communicated with each other about the general direction of the major events. Naturally, they will not reveal everything to each other, but it will not affect the subsequent cooperation.
Qiao Nan knew a lot of news and told Shi Qin that the reason why he wasn’t wanted by the whole city is because everyone wants to secretly catch him and hide him for research, becoming the first to reap the benefits. Therefore, only one team who is responsible for catching Shi Qin have confidential documents and photos related to him, which naturally leaked from the White Wolf base.
So now most people don’t know about Shi Qin’s existence, even if they know, they don’t know what it looks like.
Qiao Nan had also heard the news, and was very curious about Shi Qin. If it weren’t for the conditions not allowing it, he really wanted to study it carefully.
“You really don’t know what your existence means to me.” Qiao Nan became excited as he spoke and reached out to hold Shi Qin’s hand, but was immediately stopped by Cheng Yu and Chu Mu.
Qiao Nan revealed that the main direction of his previous research was how to turn zombies back into humans.
However, he always thought that his research was going in the wrong direction. Zombies would not turn back into humans but would only evolve to a more advanced level, as evidenced by the mutated corpses. Later, he searched for various methods to guide this evolution and finally found a possibility, which was the treatment method he provided to Fu Xuzhou to try on Shao Yan.
However, there wasn’t any significant change in Shao Yan’s condition, and it was all useless in the end.
