Therefore, Zheng Xie wasn’t exactly lying. He truly had never seen Zhou’s Omega look like this.
A blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian man sat across from him, his fingers interlaced on the desk, revealing a hint of mockery upon hearing this: “Oh, is that so? It seems my brother is likely dead.”
Zheng Xie said, “Yes. I personally feel very sorry. I hope the family can accept this and move on.”
“It’s fine. I’ve already admitted to you his dangerous nature. In the apocalypse, someone like him probably won’t die so easily, but he’s more likely to bring disaster to those around him.”
Zheng Xie couldn’t immediately respond, and the Caucasian man had already retrieved the photo and was preparing to leave.
“Wait!” Zheng Xie suddenly stood up: “Colonel Romule!”
Romule stopped, hearing the old general’s voice from behind: “…Where are you going?”
“Back to my country.”
Zheng Xie subconsciously asked, “How?”
Romule turned his head: “That would be my expertise.”
The deputy general’s eyes reflected the A-country man’s sharply defined face, seeing a subtle, restrained cold smile: “Some of our military personnel have already entered the Florida laboratory and restarted vaccine trials. Since your government can’t spare personnel to help search for my brother, I can only return to my country to request assistance – as for how we’ll conduct the search, given your country’s current state, I’m afraid you’re powerless.”
Though it was his own territory, Zheng Xie felt overwhelmed by the tall Caucasian military man’s momentum.
Zheng Xie’s eyes narrowed, quickly thinking, as Romule again walked towards the office door.
“Stop!” Zheng Xie blurted out, pausing before adding: “I can agree to your conditions, Colonel. But you must also tell me why your country’s military is searching for this person. Is it related to the vaccine?”
Unexpectedly, Romule didn’t dodge, turning directly and straightforwardly: “Yes.”
This direct response caught Zheng Xie off guard.
Romule unbuttoned the third button of his shirt, revealing his muscular chest with three long, purple-brown scars crossing it: “Two days ago,” he said coldly, “my subordinates urgently administered the last second-level serum antibody. After the wound healed, we were discovered by your country’s rescue team. This serum antibody was left behind by my brother before he defected from the Florida laboratory.”
