On reflection, though, Meng Gaohai was plainly terrified. Since he was so sensible, Wei Zhao said no more.
"Indeed, Leader 9527, you must have come here for some purpose, surely? If there's anything you need, just tell me, your humble servant. Modesty aside, I do carry some weight around here." Meng Gaohai said hastily.
What he feared most was being of no use to Wei Zhao—for if he truly was of no use, what would stop Wei Zhao from finishing him off?
"Good. Do you know where those first-batch bio-humans are housed?" Wei Zhao asked.
"The first batch of bio-humans? Oh, you mean those walking corpses, Leader. They're not here—they're in another dormitory building," Meng Gaohai said.
"So we have no contact with them at all?" Wei Zhao could not help frowning at this.
"That's not quite it!" Seeing Wei Zhao frown, Meng Gaohai said at once, "Our daily work areas are still quite close to theirs!"
"Close? Could we go over there?" Wei Zhao asked, a note of hope in his voice.
"That we can't." Meng Gaohai shook his head. "Our work areas aren't connected, but I am sometimes able to go over."
"Oh? How so?" Wei Zhao asked.
"Aren't I the leader here? Some of the bio-humans are quite formidable, with exceptional strength. Because the original reagent wasn't especially refined, these bio-humans can go berserk if the hypnosis isn't done well. I'm called in to help suppress them, and in return they grant me certain privileges here." Meng Gaohai explained, "If there's anything you need, Leader, I'll find a chance to do it!"
"Oh, in that case, take a look at this photo." As he spoke, Wei Zhao pulled a phone out of the jade pendant's space—as though drawing it from his robes—and Meng Gaohai's jaw dropped.
Wei Zhao had actually brought a phone in here? Weren't they all confiscated? His own had been taken long ago.
Still, in his eyes Wei Zhao had already been ranked among the extraordinary; that he should be a cut above the rest was only natural! With that thought, Meng Gaohai hurriedly studied the photo in Wei Zhao's hand.
Looking at the photo, Meng Gaohai could not help falling into reminiscence...
After a moment, Meng Gaohai said, "This person—I think I've seen him before. He went berserk once, and I was the one sent to suppress him!"
"Oh? You're certain?" Wei Zhao's breathing suddenly quickened. He turned to Meng Gaohai and said urgently, "Look again, carefully!"
"No mistake, it's this man!" Meng Gaohai nodded. "I don't recall his name, but I remember he was a Yellow-rank expert. After the injection, though, he could reach Mystic-rank or even Earth-rank when he went berserk. That day the two Heaven-rank guards happened to be away, so for fear he'd hurt someone, I was sent to suppress him!"
"And was he well?" Wei Zhao asked quickly.
"He was fine before. After that I stopped paying attention. But if you're looking for him, Leader, I'll make inquiries for you tomorrow!" Meng Gaohai said. (To be continued...)
