"Is there anything else you want to say?" The one who spoke was a person in charge of the Alliance. He was in charge of this meeting. He swept his gaze across the room, "If there isn't..."
"Wait."
"Mr. Ma Ao? What's the matter? "
Ma Ao stood up, "There's an old matter regarding the death of my brother Ma Li."
"For so many years, I have always thought that my brother and the others met with misfortune when they were out on a mission and encountered a high-level zombie. That is indeed the case, but I recently found out that my brother's team discovered a magical fruit during a mission. After appraising it, it can allow an ordinary metahuman to have a second water ability. My brother and his teammates risked their lives to obtain it and entrusted it to his surviving teammates to bring back to the base. However, there was another person in the team who not only did not help, he even tried to kill his teammates and take the fruit for himself. His wish was fulfilled, and he is now a famous water ability user. "
"I plead for the Alliance to deal with this person as he deserves. This person is the captain of the Cloud Mist Division, Li Shuifeng. "
When it came to the effects of the miraculous fruit, everyone was already discussing spiritedly. When they heard the words "famous water ability user", there was even a burst of speculation. When they heard the name "Li Shuifeng", a considerable number of people revealed expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Li Shuifeng quickly stood up with just the right amount of sincerity and surprise on his face. However, he did not refute everything Maho said. Instead, he slowly said, "What Mr. Maho said is true. It's just that he found the wrong person. Back then, I was indeed in the same team as Captain Ma Li and went on a mission together. I did indeed discover that mysterious fruit. However, the effect of the fruit was not to give a water ability user, but an ice ability user. I'm very sorry for not being able to protect the fruit and complete the captain's mission. Indeed, I was framed and nearly lost my life. "
"Coincidentally, I met this teammate again recently. I know that he has made great contributions to the revival of humanity in the past two years, so I didn't expose his actions immediately. Instead, I hope to give him a chance to confess everything, to admit his mistakes to his teammates and beg for forgiveness. However, he obviously did not do so. He even deceived Mr. Ma Ao and described me as a heartless person who abandoned his teammates... "
He said, "I'm very disappointed, Captain Zhang Zhiyin."
An uproar.
Li Shuifeng had always appeared as a gentleman, and Zhang Zhiyin fought on the frontlines and achieved countless merits. No one had expected that the two of them would be involved at the same time. Based on the current situation, one of them must be lying.
Ma Ao frowned.
Zhang Zhiyin stood up, "Then Li Shuifeng, where did your second water ability come from?"
Li Shuifeng smiled, "Ever since I awakened my ability, I've always been a Precision and Water Dual Ability User. I didn't know much during the early days of the apocalypse, and most of the people around me only had ordinary abilities or single abilities. I hid my Water Ability to avoid trouble. As for you, Captain Zhang, where did you get your Ice Attribute Special Ability from? If I remember correctly, someone must have watched you awaken your Arcana, and you only awakened the Precision Arcana, right? Miss Alan from the Caesar Base should know this better than I do. "
Someone stood up and looked at Zhang Zhiyin with a complicated expression. It was Sister Lan, who Zhang Zhiyin had met at Lihua Mall at the beginning of the game and was in charge of teaching newbies to awaken their abilities.
She looked to her left and right, "I don't know anything else, but Captain Zhang Zhiyin's ability is indeed as Captain Li Shuifeng said. He only had the Precision Arcana at the beginning, and I don't know when he obtained the Ice ability. Brother Fei and Uncle Yun from our base can also testify to this."
The situation was developing in a direction that was not favorable to Zhang Zhiyin.
Ma Ao could not hold it in any longer and stood up again, "But Li Shuifeng, no matter how you quibble, your performance in front of me that day has clearly shown that you're the one who let my brother down."
She did not expect Ma Ao to exist, and giving herself away in front of him was the thing that Li Shuifeng regretted the most. However, he still spoke with sincerity, "I'm truly sorry that I was unable to complete the task that Captain entrusted me with and return the fruit to the base. But I hope that Mr. Ma Ao will not be fooled by a temporary appearance and misunderstand me. "
"Why don't we let Captain Zhang explain how he suddenly obtained the Ice ability?"
Everyone's gaze once again focused on Zhang Zhiyin.
However, before Zhang Zhiyin could speak, someone else spoke first, "Zhang Zhiyin's ability came from the medicine I gave him. You pushed him out of the car and got surrounded by zombies, causing him to be heavily injured. In order to save his life, Zhiyin ate the medicine I gave him and triggered the Ice ability. There was an element of coincidence involved, but I'm still researching the specifics. "
"But Li Shuifeng, even if he doesn't want to settle the debt of you framing Zhang Zhiyin, I will still make you pay."
Yin Nian stood tall with a cold expression. His eyelashes were slightly drooping as he stood in the center of the conference room. His seat was there, specially set up for the leaders of the major forces, and it was undoubtedly a symbol of his status.
Everyone present was stunned. For most of them, this was the first time that they had heard the professor take the initiative to speak in public, and it was such a long string of words.
Li Shuifeng was directly suppressed by his aura and was unable to speak.
Yang Fu, who was beside him, was also shocked and could not help but ask, "Professor Yin, may I ask … what is your relationship with Captain Zhang?"
Yin Nian had a serious expression. "He is my fiancée. Yes, fiancé. "
The members of the thunderbolt team and Sang Le: "…" Two days ago, they were clearly just ordinary childhood friends. How did it escalate in just two days?!
Yin Nian continued to explain to everyone in the conference room with a serious expression, "Our two families have been friends for generations. Our mothers got pregnant at the same time, so the elders in our families decided on the marriage. Although we found out that both families had boys, no one proposed to cancel the marriage, so we are still engaged. "He said it as if it was the truth, and Zhang Zhiyin almost believed him.
Everyone: "…" Didn't the so-called arranged marriage mean that when both families had boys or girls, they would automatically cancel the marriage and become brothers or sisters? There was actually such a saying?
Some people came to a sudden realization: "What do you mean it's still an arranged marriage because it hasn't been officially canceled? It's obvious that you still like him and don't want to let him go, right?"
However, compared to just the relationship between the two families, "Yin Nian likes Zhang Zhiyin" showed that he would do anything to protect this person.
Many people had to start reevaluating Zhang Zhiyin.
Zhang Zhiyin sat there and vaguely remembered the night before they came to Tomorrow World. Yin Nian was at home eating peanuts while watching a TV series. The TV seemed to be about the arranged marriage between the two families, but both of them gave birth to boys …
Sir Boss really had a strong learning ability and was a model example of applying what he learned! He swore that he would never pay for cable TV after he returned home.
As soon as Yin Nian spoke, Zhang Zhiyin's suspicions were basically cleared. Even if some people still had doubts, they would not stand up for Li Shuifeng and go against Yin Nian.
Da Dao looked around and stood up. "There's one more thing. We now suspect that Li Shuifeng colluded with outsiders and leaked the layout of the headquarters' defense, which led to the invaders and put Mr. Yun Chu, Captain Zhang Zhiyin, and the thunderbolt team in danger …"
"Wait." Yun Chu stood up and raised his hand to signal for Da Dao to stop. "This matter is very important. It's getting late, and tomorrow is the day of the vote. I have a suggestion. Let's temporarily detain Captain Li Shuifeng and arrange time to investigate this matter after the vote. I don't know if Captain Li Shuifeng, Vice-captain Da Dao, and everyone present agree. "
Da Dao looked at Zhang Zhiyin.
Zhang Zhiyin felt that it was inappropriate, but he also knew that even if Li Shuifeng was convicted, he couldn't be dealt with immediately. He would definitely need to be detained for a period of time. In that case, Yun Chu's suggestion was not much different from the current situation. Moreover, to some people, whether Li Shuifeng was loyal or not was not the least bit important than tomorrow's vote. Choosing to bring up this matter today already put Yun Chu in a difficult position. It might even affect his election tomorrow. After all, regardless of whether it was the Cloud Mist team or the thunderbolt team, they were all people from the Alliance headquarters. In the eyes of the outside world, they were all Yun Chu's people. No matter which side suffered, it would be Yun Chu's loss. There was no need to go against Yun Chu.
Yang Fu and the others had already expressed their opinions and agreed with Yun Chu's suggestion.
Da Dao looked at Zhang Zhiyin and nodded.
After the meeting ended, Li Shuifeng was taken away by the headquarters.
Yin Nian came to find Zhang Zhiyin while Sang Le followed behind him.
The few of them walked out together. Sang Le was still trying to persuade Yin Nian. "Doctor, what medicine did you prescribe for Captain Zhang? I know you can definitely prescribe it again. It's impossible that you are still researching it. If you can't do it a second time, you won't be you anymore … This is a super achievement. After it is popularized, the Alliance's combat power will increase by more than two levels … "
Yin Nian stopped and turned to look at him. "That's right, I wasn't the one who prescribed it the first time."
He then turned to Zhang Zhiyin. His face was still expressionless, but everyone could feel the unrepentant emotions hidden within. He said solemnly, "Zhiyin, you're mistaken. Actually, the one who gave you the medicine before the apocalypse was Y, not me."
