1183 Meeting an Old Friend, I No Longer Wish To Be Human (1)
“Zhou Shu,” Yin Wuyou whispered while gently holding Zhou Shu’s hand.
They were standing in the air, but Zhang San and Xiao Jianghe below didn’t notice their existence at all.
Zhou Shu, who originally didn’t plan to come, finally couldn’t help coming personally.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang came with him.
“Master, I don’t understand. Since you already know who it is, why don’t you just find him?” Lu Wenshuang said.
Although she had already become Zhou Shu’s fiancée, she still habitually called him master. This could be considered an affectionate term between the two of them.
“They’re just my guesses. I’m not sure.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’m not omniscient. I don’t know where to find him now.”
“Zhou Shu, who are you suspecting?” Yin Wuyou said.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang had also been members of the Ten Nations Alliance army and had a deep relationship with the army.
They were unwilling to believe that there was a traitor in the army.
Zhou Shu had looked for Zhang San to investigate the flow of the Huaxia Pavilion’s divine weapons, looked for Great General Meng Bai, and even secretly sent Xiao Jianghe and the Criminal Army.
Although he didn’t clearly tell them who he suspected, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang already knew that perhaps there was indeed a traitor among their comrades.
“It’s useless to say it now.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Perhaps it’s just my imagination. Let’s wait for Zhang San and the others to investigate first.”
Zhou Shu was unwilling to say more. He sensed a familiar aura from the connate divine weapon, but he couldn’t be sure that the owner of the aura was the mastermind.
After all, there were too many possibilities for one’s aura to linger on a divine weapon.
If not, if he said the other party’s name now, it would be equivalent to hurting him.
Without full confidence, Zhou Shu wasn’t willing to doubt a comrade with whom he had risked his life.
“No matter what, we’ll always be by your side,” Yin Wuyou said gently.
Zhou Shu looked at both women, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Don’t worry. What haven’t we seen all these years? This is just a small matter. I just want to use this opportunity to clean up our internal affairs.
“In the future, the enemy we will face is unimaginably powerful. If there’s any internal strife, then we will have no chance of winning against the powerful enemy.
“We only have one chance. If we fail, we will be consigned to eternal damnation. Therefore, we cannot afford to be careless.
“I won’t go easy on anyone for any reason.”
Zhou Shu looked at the sky. This world had been protected by countless ancient races who had sacrificed their lives. He wouldn’t watch this world be destroyed by the enemy from beyond the heavens.
If someone wanted to destroy it, Zhou Shu didn’t mind killing one more person, no matter who they were!
“Zhang San, Xiao Jianghe, and the others have left. Should we follow?” Lu Wenshuang asked.
Zhou Shu said calmly, “Let’s continue to follow them. We should solve the problem as soon as we can.”
…
A few hours later, Zhang San, Xiao Jianghe, and the others arrived at another place.
Xiao Jianghe frowned. “Zhang San, where is this place?”
“This is the place where I interrogated an enemy I caught before,” Zhang San explained.
After Zhou Shu saved him that day, he had returned to continue investigating.
Back then, the route of the army escorting the forging materials was confidential. He followed this clue and caught some traitors.
He had interrogated the traitors about the place he had found last time and this place.
These places were where traitors accepted missions.
They had found nothing at the previous place.
Now, if he didn’t find anything here, he would have to change directions and investigate again.
“Why do I feel that this place is familiar?” Xiao Jianghe asked doubtfully.
Even with Zhang San’s composure, he couldn’t help rolling his eyes. How can you not be familiar with it?
Back then, when we were ostracized by the Ten Nations and only Great Xia took us in, this was our base!
This was also the location of the unfinished Huaxia Pavilion back then!
If not for the fact that the human race had retreated to the Grotto-Heavens, and the human world would have become ruins, this could even have been their base camp.
Zhang San sized up his surroundings. This was originally the place that Great Xia’s Emperor Yuan Feng had bestowed to Zhou Shu.
But something happened later. The construction of this place had never been completed, and it was now in ruins.
Back then, they had even been stationed here for a short period of time. Now, things had changed.
Zhang San’s heart was a little heavy. Did the other party really choose this place…
Deep down, he was unwilling to believe it. But now, all the signs indicated that the robbery of the forging materials was related to an old acquaintance.
“This was once the Huaxia Pavilion,” Zhang San said in a deep voice. “General Xiao, the other party is using this place as their contact point. Do you understand what this means?”
“I don’t understand,” Xiao Jianghe said coldly. “I don’t care so much. I only know that whoever dares to betray His Highness will die!”
Zhang San shook his head with a bitter smile. No wonder His Highness sent him.
Xiao Jianghe and his 18 Criminal Army soldiers were definitely reliable.
But could there be a problem with the other brothers?
Dozens of names flashed through Zhang San’s mind. Yang Hong, Sun Gongping, Mi Ziwen, Wang Xin, Meng Bai…
Not many people from back then could survive until now. After so many years, everyone had been supporting each other to this day.
Why?
Zhang San couldn’t figure it out.
