Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 1058 Investigation Team

Su Chen could understand why the secret realm was dangerous.

But what does "mysterious and eerie" mean?

Of those sent out to explore the secret realm, only one person came out alive.

"According to him, all his other companions died in the secret realm."

Zhan Wei explained.

"What's so strange about that?"

Su Chen asked in confusion.

Given the perils of the secret realm, it wouldn't be surprising if only one person returned, or even if the entire army were wiped out.

"But the problem is... we only sent one person!"

Zhan Wei's face turned extremely ugly!

Su Chen was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding Zhan Wei's words.

"You mean to say that Suzaku sent a man named Du Qiulin into the secret realm?"

"Then this person came out and said that the other companions had all died in the secret realm."

Zhan Wei nodded, his face slightly pale.

"Yes, that's it."

"That's interesting."

Su Chen stroked his chin and chuckled softly.

"If you ask me, that person might be mentally unstable."

"That's what we thought at the beginning too."

Zhan Wei smiled wryly.

"But when we brought in a psychiatrist, we conducted various examinations on him."

"The examination results proved that... he was not mentally unstable at all, but rather very lucid."

Oh?

Su Chen raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued as well.

"What is the truth of the matter?"

Zhan Wei did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

"Boss Su, what do you think the truth is?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said,

"I think the problem still lies with Du Qiulin."

If what that person said is true, then they all entered the secret realm.

Therefore, it's impossible that there wouldn't be a single record inside the Vermilion Bird.

"That's what we thought too, but just as everyone was preparing to conduct a further examination of that person, we realized something was wrong."

Zhan Wei gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if recalling something terrible.

"According to the organization's internal regulations... it's impossible to send only one person into the secret realm!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was taken aback!

Yes.

The secret realm is so dangerous that, let alone Suzaku, no survivor organization would send just one person to explore it.

Zhan Wei parked the hovercar in front of the hotel and sighed.

"The truth remains unknown to this day."

"Anyway, Cheng Kun's combat unit is still investigating."

"That's why I said that secret realm was eerie."

If what Zhanwei said is true, then this matter is indeed quite bizarre and sinister!

Su Chen nodded slightly.

"I see."

"Alright, Boss Su, you guys get some rest."

"I believe this matter should be settled before Cheng Kun calls you to a meeting."

Zhan Wei opened the car door.

"Ok."

Su Chen didn't say anything more and got out of the hovercar.

After Zhan Wei greeted him, he drove away in his hovercar again.

Wang Yan and the others parked Normadison in the parking lot.

After they met up with Su Chen, they entered the room that Lu Benwei had prepared in advance.

After settling in, Su Chen called everyone to his room.

He told everyone everything Zhan Wei had just said.

After Su Chen finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Everyone's expression turned somewhat strange.

Although this matter has nothing to do with them, it still sounds nerve-wracking.

"Judging from this, that secret realm is quite dangerous."

"Boss Su, should we skip this trip?"

Luo Xiaotian said in a low voice.

His suggestion was undoubtedly wise.

Judging from the information we have so far, the danger level of this secret realm far exceeds that of any other known secret realm.

While high risk often brings high reward, you still have to survive.

Su Chen did not answer immediately, but instead tapped the table lightly.

After a moment, he smiled slightly.

"There's no need for everyone to be so tense."

"As to what exactly happened, not only we, but even Zhanwei doesn't know."

"Why don't we wait a little longer and see if there's any other information?"

"We've come all this way, we can't just go back like this."

What he said makes sense.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

……

For the next few days, Su Chen and his group stayed in the hotel and didn't go anywhere else.

It wasn't until noon on the third day that Lu Benwei, along with Zhan Wei, Zhong Yage, and Wuya, finally found Su Chen.

"Xiao Su, I'm so sorry, I haven't been able to properly entertain you these past few days."

Lu Benwei said apologetically.

Compared to a few days ago, he looked even more haggard.

"Minister Lu, you're too kind."

Su Chen paused for a moment, then asked,

"Didn't Cheng Kun say he wanted to call us over for a meeting?"

"Minister Lu, when is the meeting?"

"I'm here to inform you that a meeting will be held this afternoon."

Now that the meeting time has been set, the investigation into Du Qiulin should also be concluded.

Su Chen tentatively went through the tunnel.

"Minister Lu, what happened to Du Qiulin, the one we sent to explore the secret realm?"

Su Chen's knowledge of Du Qiulin's situation did not surprise Lu Benwei.

After all, Su Chen and Zhan Wei had a good relationship, so Lu Benwei didn't ask Zhan Wei to keep it a secret from Su Chen.

He glanced at Su Chen, Luo Xiaotian, and the others, then said in a serious voice,

"I can tell you about this now, but you can't tell anyone else."

"It's not because it's particularly secretive, but because it's so sinister that I'm afraid it will cause unrest if it gets out!"

Seeing his serious expression, everyone nodded quickly.

"You've all heard Zhanwei's account of what happened."

Lu Benwei slowly recounted the truth of the matter.

"Du Qiulin was originally in the research department, but was later transferred to the combat department."

"Not long ago, our people discovered a cave that was emitting a purple light more than 100 kilometers to the northwest."

"Generally speaking, the entrance to a secret realm is often like this."

Su Chen nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Lu Benwei's statement.

"The higher-ups at the base learned about this very quickly."

"But no one thought much of it, and Cheng Kun's investigation team was still responsible for the initial exploration of the secret realm."

Su Chen had heard Zhan Wei mention it before; the combat department oversees an investigation team.

Whenever a new secret realm is discovered, the investigation team will be dispatched to conduct preliminary exploration.

Then the collected information and intelligence are compiled and handed over to higher management, who then decide on the next steps.

This will greatly reduce the risk.

However, for the members of the investigation team, it meant risking their lives.

For this reason, the investigation team was paid very well and had few tasks.

"Cheng Kun personally led the combat team and the investigation team to that cave."
