Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Brothers Meet

Unexpectedly, Lian Ze was neither sad nor blamed himself, but seriously continued to speak to Lian Jiyue, "It doesn’t matter if you’ve forgotten past events, nothing good happened anyway. I am your brother, Lian Ze. From now on, remember me, okay?"

Seeing that Lian Jiyue gave no response, Mao Qiqi explained from the side, "Xiao Yue, he seems to want to be friends with you. Do you agree or not?"

If he didn’t even want to be friends, he probably didn’t want to be brothers either, thought Mao Qiqi.

Lian Jiyue looked at Mao Qiqi and then shook his head.

He apparently did not like the person before him.

Lian Ze was somewhat disappointed. Did he really dislike him that much?

"Lian Jiyue, don’t be ungrateful. Your brother Lian Ze has never wronged you; even when you were in trouble, he never gave up on you. He even sent drones daily into the zombie nests to record videos, searching each of them for a trace of you. Not only that, but he also avenged you. Once he knew you were still alive, he immediately set out alone to find you, yet you still..."

Moli grew angrier as she spoke and felt it was not worth it on behalf of Lian Ze, but Lian Ze interrupted her.

Lian Ze glanced at her, and just when she thought Lian Ze was going to get angry, he instead smiled at Lian Jiyue across from him and continued, "It’s okay, if you don’t agree now, we’ll gradually become friends in the future."

Moli’s words did not move Lian Jiyue, but they surprised everyone present. Was this still the Lian Ze who was solely dedicated to his research?

Su Jin also looked at Lian Ze in surprise. It was said that his emotional intelligence was negative, but he was very patient with his half-brother from a different mother and even understood the importance of progressing gradually.

After hearing Lian Ze’s words, Lian Jiyue glanced at Lian Ze and then turned his head the other way...

Liang Jiuhui felt like laughing, but Lian Ze turned to him and said, "Thank you for helping me find my brother. I will continue with the matter I promised you earlier, and also, I would like to borrow someone from you to assist me."

Assist him?

"Oh? Mr. Lian, whom would you like to borrow?"

Liang Jiuhui asked with interest.

"Rong Yuan from the car dealership,"

Lian Ze replied.

"..."

Liang Jiuhui silently glanced at Su Jin and Lu Hao, knowing that this Rong Yuan also seemed to be associated with them.

"I want to know, what do you need him for?"

"To use his Metal Element Ability to make things,"

Lian Ze replied.

"I see, if it’s a Metal Element Ability User, we have many at our base,"

Liang Jiuhui thought it was because Lian Ze only knew Rong Yuan as a Metal Element Ability User, which was why he had chosen him.

"No, Rong Yuan’s Metal Element is different from others,"

Lian Ze affirmed.

"How is it different?"

Liang Jiuhui asked, frowning.

"His Metal Element is titanium alloy, the best material for making machinery,"

Lian Ze replied.

Titanium alloy?

What is that?

Even Su Jin and Lu Hao expressed that they had never noticed a difference between Rong Yuan’s Metal Element and that of other Metal Element Ability Users, only that Rong Yuan always seemed to progress very quickly.

You should know that Rong Yuan was among the latest awakened, but his Metal Element Ability had already reached Level Four. He himself had said that he was close to breaking through to Level Five.

"We should discuss this further... The issue is whether he agrees or not,"

Liang Jiuhui could only answer like this for now.

"Yes, you need the consent of others. Give him this drawing, and maybe he will agree; otherwise, he definitely won’t," Lian Ze said and then glanced at Lian Jiyue once more before standing up and leaving the place.

He had already found Lian Jiyue and knew that he was doing well in a team called Heart Talk Team. The Z agent at that time was actually not the Zombie Virus, but he still wanted to observe where Lian Jiyue was staying for a while longer because he was still worried that the pharmaceutical might have some side effects on him.

The researchers at this base seemed not very sharp-minded.

He was not reassured.

Moli was still chattering on behind Lian Ze, but Lian Ze did not respond much and turned to his own private lab, starting to work on a computer.

"..."

Liang Jiuhui glanced at the drawing Lian Ze handed him. He had to admit, Lian Ze’s drawing was excellent - compared to the previous ones from Wei Junhao and the Heart Talk Store, it was like comparing heaven to earth.

Lian Ze’s drawing wasn’t folded; it seemed he didn’t mind others looking at it casually. Liang Jiuhui glanced at it and then handed it to Su Jin and Lu Hao.

On that drawing was a Special Ability User with a Metal arm, using the cannon fired from his metal arm to shoot continuously at something in front of him.

"I think, it’s not bad," Liang Jiuhui said. Lian Ze really had some ideas, but he was unsure of the actual effect.

Lu Hao also looked very serious. He had to admit that Lian Ze’s drawing was quite detailed, so much so that even he could understand some principles and constructions.

"Let Rong Yuan decide for himself! We don’t oppose it," Lu Hao said after seeing Su Jin’s affirmative look, and handed the drawing back to Liang Jiuhui.

"Yes, don’t worry. I’ll make sure someone protects Rong Yuan’s safety," Liang Jiuhui replied.

Liang Jiuhui also knew about Lian Ze’s eccentricities. Even if Rong Yuan agreed to help him, he still had to ensure Rong Yuan’s safety. What if Lian Ze took advantage of Rong Yuan being distracted to knock him out and experiment on him?

"Alright, we are reassured. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be going first," Su Jin said, standing up to leave.

"Wait, there is something else, and it’s good news!" Liang Jiuhui suddenly remembered about the badge.

"What good news? Another Crystal Core mission?" was Su Jin’s immediate response.

"...No, that’s not it. People came from City B last night to inform the Heart Talk Team that after being evaluated by City B, you have received an SS-level title!" Liang Jiuhui explained, surprising Su Jin.

SS-level?

She had heard of this level in her past life, but at that time, only one team in the country had achieved it. How could it fall to them in this life?

But this really was good news, even unexpectedly so.

"Did the people from City B come here just to inform us of this?" Lu Hao thought there was more to it, suspecting that the people from City B hadn’t come just to pass on the message.

"It’s still unclear now. Many of their people have died, and a few more are in a coma. However, I heard that quite a number from the Han Family have arrived, and they brought you a mission worth one hundred thousand Crystal Cores," Liang Jiuhui said, thinking aloud that their base in City S must have caught the attention from City B.

One hundred thousand Crystal Cores?

Su Jin felt that the reward for the mission was a bit low, considering they could earn hundreds of thousands of Crystal Cores just from selling supplies in one trip.

But with a mission, they could simultaneously sell supplies and complete the mission.
