"Rumble, rumble..."
The roaring sound of the plane landing was particularly noticeable in the cabin, startling Lin Yuan, who had just fallen asleep.
Fortunately, his body was in good shape and he didn't feel too drowsy. He blinked and was instantly awake.
"We're here already?"
Soon, the cabin door was knocked. Before Lin Yuan could get up to open it, the metal door was opened. The soldiers outside were not people he recognized. They were all fully armed, wearing gas masks with anti-poison functions, their gun muzzles slightly raised, subtly pointing at Lin Yuan.
One soldier stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Comrade Lin Yuan, we have reached our destination. Please come with us."
After speaking, he waved forward, and two soldiers emerged from behind him. Without waiting for Lin Yuan to inform anyone, they "escorted" Lin Yuan off the plane.
"My package!"
"Don't worry, we'll bring it with you. We are the biu investigation team sent by the Huaxia Anti-Biological Warfare Command Center to assist Wu Mu Lin in your investigation, and we are also tasked with protecting your personal safety. From now on, we will be by your side at all times."
Lin Yuan: ...
Is this really appropriate? I prefer girls!
Although he looked displeased, Lin Yuan was still very cooperative with the investigation team. They were not people to be trifled with. Didn't he see their wounds were exposed? If you don't cooperate, you'll be shot.
After getting off the plane, he didn't walk but got directly into a car. Lin Yuan's eyes were covered the entire time. He only knew they switched cars midway; he had no idea about the rest of the route. The sound of the car wheels had barely changed along the way, and there were very few turns.
They must have entered the grasslands.
A military base built in the grasslands?
I wonder what it looks like.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan had no chance to see the full picture of the base.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already sitting in an interrogation room. The soldier who had escorted him was standing beside him. Sitting in front of him was a young man who looked only about 30 years old, wearing a white lab coat. His hands and feet were restrained by shackles, which clearly showed the respect given to Lin Yuan's strength.
Lin Yuan raised his hands and spread them out. He wasn't angry, and his face showed no emotion.
"Excuse me, what is this?"
The person in front of him smiled insincerely a couple of times and said, "Don't worry, Lin Yuan, these are just necessary safety measures. They will be removed after the interrogation. Relax, just think of it as a vacation in the grasslands."
"Alright, you can start asking," Lin Yuan merely asked for clarification and then cooperated with the interrogator in front of him.
"Oh?" Xie Nan seemed surprised. He hadn't expected Lin Yuan to be so cooperative and was a bit curious, "Aren't you going to ask who I am?"
Lin Yuan replied expressionlessly, "Not interested."
This person wearing a white lab coat and sitting in front of him could only be Xie Nan, the director of the Wu Mu Lin Academy of Sciences. However, he was also surprised by Xie Nan's age, which didn't match his image of a scientist.
"Okay, then I won't introduce myself. The General Command Center has ordered me not to have any preconceptions about you, so shall we begin directly?"
Brother, that's a dangerous statement. Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows but didn't answer. He merely gestured for him to continue.
Xie Nan didn't waste any more words and got straight to the point.
"When did you first encounter members of the Eternal Life Cult?"
"In..."
The investigation and interrogation lasted for five hours. Xie Nan was very patient, asking extremely detailed questions, some of which Lin Yuan couldn't even remember. Finally, Xie Nan just tidied up the interrogation records and left, saying, "Today is just the beginning. The investigation into you is not over yet."
Immediately after, Lin Yuan was taken to a room specially prepared for him. To put it bluntly, it was a prison cell modified to look less like a prison.
For the next few days, Xie Nan and Xie Bei would come to question him for five hours each day. Sometimes the questions had nothing to do with the current situation and were completely irrelevant. Although he was getting tired of being questioned, Lin Yuan still recounted the style of his underwear from childhood.
This was probably the last day because Osiris was getting impatient. He was eager to meet Lin Yuan, as if Lin Yuan possessed some extraordinary secret. His attitude made Xie Nan and Xie Bei confused. Their initial assessment that Lin Yuan was a good comrade was now in question, given Osiris's anxious behavior.
The person interrogating him today was the head of the intelligence department of the Wu Mu Lin military base, who was also an old acquaintance of Ying Tian Long. However, business was business and personal matters were personal; he still had to ask the questions. But Lin Yuan had no anomalies, only concealing information about Andrea. His mental state was normal, and his consciousness was clear.
Another five hours passed.
"The academy's prototype has completed its second clinical trial and will be transported here in three days. We will conduct a comprehensive examination on you then. If everything is fine, you will be allowed to leave."
"Wait, don't I need to meet Osiris?" Lin Yuan found it unlikely that he could just leave.
"After the examination is complete. Also, you don't need to call him Osiris; you can call him Prisoner 13. He is not a deity, so there's no need to address him that way."
"Understood."
At this moment, in the deepest part of the prison, Xie Nan was recording something with a pen. In front of him was only a prison cell, completely covered with steel on all sides, with only a one-way pipe leading inside to feed the prisoner.
"You Chinese outside, have you brought me the person I want?!"
"What, are you so eager to see him? Is there something important?"
"Bring him to me!" Osiris roared.
He still couldn't figure out how the Chinese and those Russians knew his route. Could there be a mole in the Eternal Life Cult? How is that possible?! The Eternal Life Cult would never have a mole! Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Ever since he learned about Lin Yuan from Isis, he had abandoned his search mission in Russia and came to China to track Lin Yuan's whereabouts. However, he was captured before he could even enter. This was truly outrageous.
In fact, it wasn't entirely his fault. He didn't understand Andrea's personality at all, nor did he expect his own daughter to betray him. This move, this move was a righteous stab in the back!
Seeing that Xie Nan wasn't answering him, he gave up resisting. Now, all his hopes were pinned on Lin Yuan. Given his daughter's personality, she would definitely leave something on Lin Yuan, just like that useless woman. The gene-enhanced warrior from hsac would surely turn this place upside down.
