Chapter 471 The Headquarters Of The Truth Department
Zhang Jianlong couldn’t last a few rounds against Lu Yu before Lu Yu’s Rotten Claw skill stabbed him. He was weakened drastically and had lost his combat power.
At that moment, he was looking at Lu Yu with fear.
“Let’s… let’s talk this out. What did you do?”
He raised his hands and could clearly see that more wrinkles were on his hands than before.
“No. I don’t have this many wrinkles on my hands.”
His voice was weak and feeble.
“Let me explain. Your body is gradually aging. If you’re stronger than me, the impact of this skill will be small, and the rate of your aging will slow down.”
“But it’s a pity that the difference in strength between you and me is so great!”
Hearing this, Zhang Jianlong gulped and understood that he was a goner.
His strength was far weaker than Lu Yu’s!
“Why… why are you so much stronger than me?”
He was defeated to the point where he had almost no chance of fighting back. He was distressed. They were about the same age, so why was the difference in strength so huge?
“You don’t need to know that. But I have some questions for you, and you must answer them all.”
Xu Yuan and the others also came over, as they had already cleared out all of Zhang Jianlong’s underlings.
“This guy is still not speaking? Let’s beat him up!” w.a.n.g Meng clenched his fist and walked over.
Zhang Jianlong panicked. “Hey, relax, brother. He hasn’t even asked me what you all want to know. How am I supposed to answer anything?”
Lu Yu stepped forward and grabbed his collar, asking, “Tell me, why do you want to capture me alive?”
“Because you’ve offended our captain, we want to catch you. That’s normal…”
Zhang Jianlong answered sheepishly.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “If you continue trying to fool me, you can die here in pain!”
Zhang Jianlong immediately panicked and looked at Lu Yu with pleading eyes.
“I… I’ll talk, but I don’t know much. I only have a rough idea of what’s going on.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Tell me everything you know, and I’ll consider letting you go.”
“Alright, I’ll speak…”
“I was called to the headquarters this morning. Jiang Lintian held a meeting for us, and the ten team leaders were all there.”
“And then?”
“However, there is one more person. That person is mysterious, but I accidentally saw a badge he was wearing. He is a member of the Truth Department.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately became serious, while Xu Yuan and the others were getting anxious.
“Hurry up and continue! What are the people of the Truth Department doing there?” w.a.n.g Meng suddenly yelled, causing Zhang Jianlong to shiver in fear.
“Brother, I don’t know much. He was there for Jiang Lintian. They had a brief conversation, and then the person from the Truth Department left.”
Lu Yu grabbed his neck and continued to ask, “Did he change his att.i.tude toward me after the Truth Department came?”
Zhang Jianlong nodded. “That’s right. The Truth Department said something to him, and now Jiang Lintian wants to capture you alive.”
Lu Yu laughed coldly. “This group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, never-ending pest. I can’t believe I’m still meeting them here!”
“One day, I will find the headquarters of the Truth Department and destroy them!” Xu Yuan commented viciously.
Zhang Jianlong looked at Xu Yuan and asked curiously, “Don’t you know where the headquarters of the Truth Department is?”
Xu Yuan nodded slightly. “Although I work in the military, the information I know is limited.”
“It’s here.”
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean? In this place?”
Zhang Jianlong nodded and continued, “That’s right, the Truth Department headquarters is here!”
“Isn’t this a secret realm that only opens once a year?” w.a.n.g Meng asked immediately.
Zhang Jianlong laughed, “Do you know how many people die here yearly? Could you be sure if those people are really dead or not?”
“Trust me, the headquarters of the Truth Department is right here, in some dark corner, controlling the underground transactions of the outside world.”
Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and said, “It seems that the situation is clear. The people of the Truth Department want to capture me alive. This is probably their goal.”
He raised his Undead Dragon Claw, and Xu Yuan immediately understood.
“It seems that we need to get rid of this organization. As long as the Truth Department isn’t eliminated, we will not have peace.”
Lu Yu nodded and looked at Zhang Jianlong once more. “Tell me about the relationship between the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce and the Truth Department.”
Hearing this, Zhang Jianlong panicked. “No, I can’t! I can’t say this! I definitely can’t! If I say it, I’m dead!”
“You’re dead even if you don’t tell me!” Lu Yu gave him a stern look and threatened.
“I can’t say,” Jianlong replied solemnly. “Those are crazy people. Even if I died, I wouldn’t escape from their hands. I don’t want to live in h.e.l.l!”
“It seems that you do know a lot.” Lu Yu’s eyes narrowed as he stared at him.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll let you experience a taste of h.e.l.l right now!”
After Lu Yu finished his words, the surrounding ground began to bubble.
Arms stretched out from the soil, and entire bodies crawled out of the ground.
Over a dozen undead warriors crawled out and slowly walked toward Lu Yu.
Looking at the bodies crawling out of the soil, Zhang Jianlong was so scared that his body trembled, and his face turned pale.
“What’s going on? What’shappening? Weren’t they dead? How are they still moving?”
Lu Yu grabbed his neck and asked fiercely, “Tell me, what’s the relationship between your team and the Truth Department?!”
Zhang Jianlong panicked and quickly shouted, “It’s a partnership, a partnership!”
“As you all know, the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce is researching biotechnology, which overlaps with the Truth Department. So, it’s normal for them to cooperate.”
“Do you know that the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce has just launched a new product?”
“What product?” Lu Yu asked.
“A strengthening-type potion. This potion can stimulate a person’s potential and allow him to hasten his evolution!
“This effect is similar to the truth potion.” Xu Yuan commented.
“That’s right, it’s similar, but there are many types of truth potions. For example, some potions allow people to evolve sub-human characteristics, potions that allow people to evolve new physical abilities, and potions that allow people to evolve the characteristics of divine beasts.”
“This strengthening potion can hasten your evolutionary progress and speed up the current evolution path. It’s the most basic effect of a truth potion.”
“The Red Heart Chamber of Commerce relied on this product to establish its dominant position and suppress the Star Science Chamber of Commerce to the point of suffocation.”
“The Truth Department provides the raw materials for this product.”
“Both parties have a close working relationship.”
At that moment, Lu Yu recalled the day he discovered a small stronghold of the Truth Department, and even he couldn’t bear to look at the b.l.o.o.d.y and cruel scene there.
