The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 203 Reborn Yang Xiao

After Ji Lang and Lin Yun got off the helicopter, they took Wen Zhou's three soldiers and carried all the things they had moved from the underground laboratory office of the Beijing Research Institute towards Commander Jiang Xing's office.

The mistakes made by Wen Zhou's three soldiers did not require Jiang Xing's personal interrogation, so after they finished moving the things, they were taken away by Xue Jing, the logistics management commander.

After everyone left, leaving only Jiang Xing, Ji Lang, and Lin Yun in the office, Jiang Xing carefully examined all the things that Ji Lang and the others had brought back.

"Are you saying this is everything on the third underground level?" Jiang Xing asked.

“We’re not sure, but one of the lab doors opens onto a vast desert, and the sandstorms are so intense that we wouldn’t be able to stand up,” Lin Yun explained.

“That laboratory was so vast that you couldn’t see the end of it, like the door led straight into a desert, so we didn’t go in. But we’ve searched all the other laboratories,” Ji Lang added.

"That shouldn't be!" Jiang Xing searched through everything again, but all he found were documents and files; there was no sign of the special box he had seen before.

"General Manager Jiang, what exactly do you want us to find?" Ji Lang is usually a very resolute person, but judging from Yang Xiao's attitude these past few days, he has become somewhat wavering. As a soldier, he dislikes such wavering, so he chooses to confront the essence of the problem directly.

“Yes…” Jiang Xing was a little unsure how to explain. Just as he was organizing his thoughts, there was another knock on his office door.

"It's a special box." The person who knocked didn't wait for a response from the person inside, but simply pushed the door open and came in.

"Gu Nanfeng?" Ji Lang was somewhat shocked to see Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao enter. Had he been away from the base for too long? He felt like he was completely out of touch with many things.

"How did you know?" Jiang Xing was also somewhat surprised, as this was supposed to be "top secret" classified information.

“President Jiang, you’ve forgotten, I’m also one of the participants in the ‘Starry Sea Project’.” Gu Nanfeng smiled and continued to explain, “My mentor is the chief person in charge of the new materials project, so I’ve attended many ‘Starry Sea Project’ meetings with him.”

“This is ‘top secret’.” Jiang Xing heard Gu Nanfeng mentioning “Project Star Sea” and “new materials” repeatedly in his sentences, and he almost wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle.

“President Jiang, what’s with all this talk of top secrets at a time like this? Besides, I don’t think there’s anything we’re here that we can’t know.” Gu Nanfeng glanced at the other three people in the office.

Jiang Xing also scanned the group. To be honest, Gu Nanfeng was absolutely right. Apart from himself, the other four people present were the strongest combat force in the South China Base. If they were to go to the Beijing Research Institute again, these four people would definitely have to go. Previously, Ji Lang was the type to follow orders, but Gu Nanfeng was not. He would definitely ask questions until he got to the bottom of things.

"Alright, ask whatever you want to know." Jiang Xing returned to his desk, took a sip of hot tea, and sat steadily in his office chair, waiting for their questions.

"What's going on with Yang Xiao?" Ji Lang interrupted before Gu Nanfeng could even speak.

“It was indeed my oversight regarding Xiao Yang’s matter.” Jiang Xing shook his head and smiled helplessly. “We overheard Xiao Yang mentioning the ‘Star Sea Project,’ which is a ‘top secret’ state secret. I originally just wanted to have someone bring him here for a warning and education, but he ran away on his own for some reason.”

Ji Lang couldn't believe Jiang Xing's explanation no matter how he listened. He wanted to ask more questions, but then he saw Lin Yun nod at him. After thinking for a moment, he stepped back and let Gu Nanfeng ask the questions.

“I have some idea of ​​the reason for Yang Xiao’s situation. You might not believe it, but it is very likely the truth.” Gu Nanfeng knew that Ji Lang would not listen to anything right now, so he decided to explain it to him first. “Yang Xiao escaped from the university town in G City with us. At that time, he said that he was a reincarnated person.”

"Rebirth?" In fact, Ji Lang had heard them mention Yang Xiao's claim of being a reborn person more than once, but since everything didn't add up, everyone guessed that Yang Xiao might have just had a precognitive dream, so he never took it seriously.

"How is that possible?" Jiang Xing also couldn't believe it; it was too fantastical.

"Old Jiang, in a world where zombies can appear, what's so strange about rebirth?" Pei Sihao joked, then continued Gu Nanfeng's words, "Yang Xiao is a reincarnated person, so we suspect that you did something to wrong him in your past life!"

"What, what does this have to do with me?" If the occasion weren't so serious, Jiang Xing would have laughed out loud. This kid from the Pei family is always so outrageous.

"President Jiang, please don't disbelieve us. We have evidence for everything we say." Gu Nanfeng knew that Pei Sihao was definitely unreliable, so he continued, "Yang Xiao's expression was off the first time he saw you. The next day, he went to Lu Yuan to talk about the 'Star Sea Project.' You've heard the audio recordings, which should contain information about Yang Xiao's rebirth, as well as your actions in his previous life."

"Those are all true? No wonder he hates me so much." When Jiang Xing heard that audio before, he thought it was just something Yang Xiao made up, but he never expected it might actually be true.

"That's our first question." Seeing that Jiang Xing had admitted it, Gu Nanfeng followed up with another question.

“You’re still smarter, Gu family kid.” Jiang Xing pointed helplessly at Gu Nanfeng and could only play the audio of Yang Xiao’s conversation with Lu Yuan that night.

After the audio finished playing, the office fell silent. None of them could have imagined that Yang Xiao's hatred for Jiang Xing stemmed from the fact that his regimental commander had saved his life and the lives of thousands of men in his regiment in his previous life.

"So that's how it is..." Ji Lang sighed. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't forgive Jiang Xing either, but if it were him, he would know that Jiang Xing definitely didn't do it on purpose.

"So, in Xiao Yang's previous life, I must have sent that regiment to carry out your mission this time." Jiang Xing hadn't actually listened to the recording in its entirety before, so he only had a vague understanding of it. Especially after hearing that Yang Xiao was a reincarnation, he didn't take it seriously at all. So at the time, he only planned to have Zhang Hua bring the person over for a verbal reprimand.

"Why wasn't I chosen in my past life?" Ji Lang was a little confused. If his past life was similar to this one, then he would definitely be the best choice.

"I've never seen anyone so eager to die. Either you died back then, or you're in the second batch." Pei Sihao sometimes really felt that half of Ji Lang's brain was made of straw.

"Moreover, according to what Yang Xiao told us at the beginning, he didn't have any superpowers in his previous life," Gu Nanfeng said.

"So that's why we initially thought he wasn't a reincarnated person." Pei Sihao curled his lip. "Who would have thought that after someone is reborn, the difference between their previous life and their next life would be so huge? Even novels don't write it like this."
