Chapter 1389: Chapter 1384 Someone’s Coming Down

"Khan, it’s taken care of." Bai Huipeng took out the Evolution Crystal Core from the corpse of the Order Guard and nodded to Tang Ye.

Everyone regathered, Gong Xiao, who had already arrived at the location, did the same.

Every individual here was of the Level 8 stratum, standing together unconsciously exuding an aura that made the air somewhat oppressive.

Tang Ye’s gaze settled on Gong Xiao, who quickly understood, "They’re alive."

After saying this to Tang Ye, Gong Xiao looked towards a certain spot and shouted, "Come out, stop hiding."

"Ah! Oh... okay!"

At her voice, the Zhou-surnamed woman trembled as she walked out, looking at Gong Xiao with fear in her eyes. She never imagined that this beautiful woman who seemed like a fairy from heaven and a bit silly would turn out to be a Level 8 Powerhouse!

The intense contrast caught her off-guard. She stepped out from the corridor that was exposed when a wall had been destroyed, every step she took was extremely cautious, and each part of her body, even her lips and eyes, trembled with her slight movements. Clearly, her body was struggling, instinctively refusing to approach Tang Ye and his group.

"Who are you people?" She looked at Tang Ye and his companions. She recognized Su Sigui, but aside from her, there was another man who looked like a leader, whom she didn’t recognize at all.

Hearing her words, Yu Jianghui couldn’t help but tease: "What people? We’re of course the good guys."

The Zhou-surnamed woman ignored Yu Jianghui’s mockery, her gaze fixed on Tang Ye, tense to the extreme.

Her situation could very well be likened to dancing on a tightrope, a misstep would mean shattering to pieces. If the others took offense, her death would mean nothing, stirring not the slightest ripple!

Ever since entering the research institute, it was rare for her to encounter such situations, having long grown accustomed to its safety. Now with the situation suddenly changing like this, one could only imagine the fear in her heart.

"Don’t worry, as long as you don’t anger me, at least you’re safe. Now, simply answer whatever I ask."

"Ah? Oh okay?" The woman was initially startled, then nodded frantically like a pecking chicken.

"Who’s in charge of this place?"

"It’s our director, named Qu Yangming. He seems to oversee some kind of council above us, I only know this much, nothing specific."

Tang Ye and Su Sigui exchanged glances, Su Sigui muttered to herself: "So it’s him. Many people guessed right, but including myself, we outsmarted ourselves and weren’t sure."

Tang Ye nodded, indeed that was the case. Qu Yangming’s peculiar hobby was known since the research institute changed hands; it was common knowledge that the Order Guards had become all those handsome men and pretty women. From this bad taste, it was easy to guess those characters with similar quirks; but also because of this, those who overthought became hesitant.

"Good, second question, has the position of director here changed before?"

The Zhou-surnamed woman hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Yes."

"Who was the director before?"

"We don’t know that. I’ve hardly ever seen the former director, only knew their Order Guards."

"Ning Tianlang?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Was that director female?"

"It seems so."

Tang Ye fell silent, as numerous questions suddenly emerged in his mind, but they were beyond what this Zhou-surnamed woman could answer. He must get answers from Su Sigui.

He glanced at Su Sigui next to him, and just as he averted his gaze, she turned to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion. However, she quickly seemed to recall something, falling into contemplation, her attention drifting elsewhere.

"So how did this place end up like this? When did it happen?"

"This... I’m not too clear, it felt very sudden. The previous director disappeared, and not long after, the current director took over, about two years ago."

"Two years ago?" Su Sigui questioned.

And the woman hastily added, "Around mid-May."

"Two years ago, around mid-May, probably around the 14th," said Su Sigui, pondering to herself.

Tang Ye looked at her, utterly puzzled, he asked, "How do you know?"

"At that time, there was a mass uprising of red feather birds that affected many residents, assaulting the council building. We were also wondering why the originally gentle red feather birds suddenly became so aggressive. It seems related to the change in directors," Su Sigui said, looking at Tang Ye, but her eyes betrayed strange emotions.

"Perhaps, the person you’re looking for is related to the red feather birds."

That statement suddenly reminded Tang Ye of the disfigured red feather bird bitten by the spider, the same bird that had led him back to Lin City, leaving a deep impression on him.

Against their nature, red feather birds avoid humans, swarming the skies above the Human Sanctuary City. Their feathers can be used as materials, but no one can touch them, or even get close. Any human approaching within six meters would prompt them to fly away rapidly. Only strong individuals with twisted humor would forcibly capture them.

The top flight speed of red feather birds can reach 500 kilometers per hour, faster than many modes of transport before the Apocalypse. Because of this, they were creatures that could be seen but not reached. Yet, such creatures had actively approached him, which puzzled Tang Ye.

At least, he had never seen anyone touch them without restraining them.

Seeing Tang Ye once again fall silent, the Zhou-surnamed woman hesitated for a while before asking, "Is there... anything else?"

Tang Ye came back to his senses, nodded, and asked, "You mentioned that below the second floor there was an Omega Order Guard, is that true?"

The woman was dumbfounded, she didn’t recall mentioning this to the stranger who appeared extremely unfamiliar.

She glanced at Gong Xiao, completely confused if there had been an incident around her when she had spoken before.

Just as she was about to respond, Tang Ye interrupted, "Let’s leave it there, there are people coming from below."

The woman realized what was happening and noticed that all of the Level 8 Powerhouses around her were taking combat stances. She immediately understood and hastened, "I’ll leave first!"

No one minded her, and seeing this, she hurriedly ran off.

After a while, the wall in the direction Tang Ye and the others were facing was violently smashed open to reveal a cadre of handsome Order Guards!
