The other Zhang Heng looked curiously at the knife in his thigh, but there was no sign of pain on his face. He just said slowly, "It seems that I have to take back what I said earlier. You are not much smarter than your kind. Since you already know who I am, you should know that this degree of pain will not affect me. If you want to use this method to interrogate me, I advise you not to waste your energy."
"No, don't get me wrong. I did this purely because I wanted to do it. I have no other purpose." Zhang Heng paused. "Okay, let's get to the point. Let's start with a small warm-up question."
"What's the problem?" The other Zhang Heng rolled his eyes.
"I want to know if you have any special means of contact with your people."
"What special means of contact?" The other Zhang Heng rubbed his chin on his shoulder.
"Something like the sound waves of bats."
"Oh, you are worried that I have already spread the news that I was caught by you to others, right?" The other Zhang Heng grinned. "But you already know the answer to this question, don't you? You purposely captured me and took a stroll around the Internet Cafe. Other than saving your little girlfriend, you also wanted to see if my companions in the Internet Cafe had noticed anything. You're very smart. Although it's useless, and you do have some time to escape, the ending that awaits you will not change. "
"Is that so?" Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard this. He then asked the second question, which was also the most important one. "Where are the people you have locked up?"
"Interesting. What makes you think those people are still alive?"
"You better answer my question directly," Zhang Heng emphasized.
"What else can I do?" The other Zhang Heng laughed when he heard that. "Admit it. You have no means to threaten me. The reason why I'm willing to chat with you is that I'm a little bored between now and when you guys are cornered."
"You'd better not be so sure," Zhang Heng said. As he spoke, he opened his schoolbag beside him and took out a tempered glass jar.
Inside the jar were four hideous creatures that looked like a combination of a three-eyed crayfish and a lamprey. They crawled along the glass wall to the mouth of the jar, trying to open the lid. However, Zhang Heng had sealed the jar with tape. Bai Qing almost vomited her breakfast when she saw them. She did not know how Zhang Heng could hold the glass jar in his hand without batting an eyelid.
"Come on, say hello to your companions," Zhang Heng said.
This was what he took out after killing the four people from the dean's office.
Although the other Zhang Heng controlled his expression well, and there was no change in his expression, it was obvious that this incident had a huge impact on him from the way he finally shut his mouth.
"With all due respect, you are much weaker than I thought," Zhang Heng said. "I just used a little bit of strength, and one of them even broke his leg."
"High-level creatures always pay more attention to the development of intelligence," the other Zhang Heng finally spoke again. "We don't need a strong body to stand at the top of the food chain. The creatures you call dinosaurs have extremely developed physical functions, but they are just our prey."
"It's hard to refute that," Zhang Heng said. "But when you are put in a glass jar, I don't know if you can say such things with confidence."
"If you want to use them to threaten me, you'd better save it. We don't value the relationship with our companions as much as you humans do," the other Zhang Heng seemed to have sorted out his emotions.
"Is that so? Then why did your companions take you away from the corpses?" Zhang Heng turned to Bai Qing and said, "Help me get the portable liquefied gas."
The latter covered her mouth and took out a portable liquefied gas from the bag beside her, plugged in the stove's air guide valve, and handed it to Zhang Heng. This thing was usually used by backpackers to cook in the wild. It could provide a continuous source of fire even without a kitchen.
Zhang Heng placed the tempered glass jar on top of the jar and ignited the liquefied gas with a lighter. After a while, the rapidly rising temperature made the four ugly creatures in the glass jar irritated, and they attacked the jar even more violently. But as they said, perhaps they had spent most of their attribute points on intelligence, and their physical fitness wasn't that great. Their bodies weren't as hard as tempered glass.
After a while, they stopped moving. One by one, they fell to the bottom of the jar, their limbs curled up like roasted cockroaches. However, Zhang Heng did not think these things would die so easily. Judging from the corpses that were placed in the refrigerator, once the temperature exceeded their adaptive range, they would enter a state similar to hibernation or suspended animation.
"Enough." At this time, the other Zhang Heng suddenly spoke. For the first time, an angry expression appeared on his face. "Provoking us will not do you any good," he warned Zhang Heng.
"It depends on your cooperation attitude. Tell us the whereabouts of the people you replaced, and I will turn off the liquefied gas."
The other Zhang Heng lowered his head and thought for a while. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. After a while, he said, "Okay."
"And your plan to deal with me this time," Zhang Heng added. As soon as he said this, the other Zhang Heng's phone rang.
It should be the owner of the internet cafe, asking him about bringing Bai Qing out. Zhang Heng put the phone to his other ear. "You know what to say, right?"
… …
Ten minutes later, not only did Zhang Heng know the whereabouts of the people he replaced, but he also roughly understood the organization and some basic knowledge of those creatures. Most of it, however, was irrelevant. Zhang Heng knew that the creature would not reveal the secrets under Workshop No. 3 to him because it was the foundation of its survival and reproduction.
Even if Zhang Heng killed it and its four companions in the bottle, it would not tell him anything. Zhang Heng knew this very well. In fact, if it knew that Zhang Heng had been to Workshop No. 3, it would not even tell him these insignificant things.
However, Zhang Heng did not mention the glass factory and the blue-green algae from the beginning to the end. To a certain extent, it had confused the creature, making it think that the two had not touched the core secrets. Under such circumstances, it was willing to sacrifice some information in exchange for a chance to save itself and its companions.
