Chapter 493: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Three Use Everything to Its Fullest Potential
First of all, Han Yizhou from E City Base wouldn’t easily let Lian Ze go, and if they had come with a purpose, there would definitely be more than just Moli following Lian Ze.
So Pei Yuan and the others could be sure that Lian Ze must have sneaked out.
“Lian Ze, actually, is not inherently bad, it’s just that in his eyes, a human life is the same as a laboratory mouse, including his own life,”
Pei Yuan shared his impression of Lian Ze from their time at the research institute.
“That’s true, but in his mind, all his test subjects volunteered for the experiments, and that was mainly because of his mother and Han Yizhou,”
Tan Yiran said, referring to the voluntary consent forms created by Han Wan and Han Yizhou, which made Lian Ze believe those people all volunteered for the institute’s experiments.
“Made him believe? Can’t he discern right from wrong himself?”
Liang Jiuhui asked.
Pei Yuan sighed. He actually admired Lian Ze’s talent, but it seemed that every genius had their flaws, and Lian Ze’s flaw was his extremely low EQ—what was written in black and white on those contracts was right or wrong to him.

“So, what’s his purpose for coming to our base?”
Liang Jiuhui voiced his most pressing concern.
“He said he’s here looking for someone?”
Su Jin recalled the words of Ban Xiaobo and the others.
“Then he must be looking for his half-brother, Lian Jiyue,”
Pei Yuan said.
“To my knowledge, Lian Jiyue doesn’t get along very well with him,”
Lu Hao remembered that Lian Jiyue seemed not to like his brother very much.
“On the surface, yes, but I’ve heard that Lian Ze actually cares a lot about his brother. During the early stage of the apocalypse, it was Jiyue who carried him out of a zombie den,”
Ren Yingjie shared the gossip he had heard while at the institute, saying if it weren’t for Jiyue, Lian Ze would have died a long time ago.
“What a pity, a rare genius,”
Pei Yuan said, shaking his head, thinking it a real shame that such a person was being used by Han Yizhou for all the wrong reasons.
“I’ve seen the vehicles he modified, they are indeed beyond the skill of an ordinary person. It’d be great if he could work for our base,”
Liang Jiuhui agreed as well.
“Since that’s the case, why not make use of him?”
Lu Hao asked.
“His identity is the head of the E City Base Research Institute, how can we use him?”
Liang Jiuhui retorted, wondering if Lu Hao had some good idea.
“His identity… you can pretend to be unaware, then just go with the flow,”
Lu Hao said with a smile.
They had to know that Lian Ze was now penniless and had nowhere to go; Liang Jiuhui could just take him in.
And since they now knew what kind of person Lian Ze was, there was no need to worry about his identity; just give him a job and let him shine. It was only a matter of daily meals and a place to live.
“But… what if people from E City come looking for him?”
Fang Zhengyang asked worriedly, harboring an innate fear of the E City Base.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Jiuhui nodded, adopting the air of a capitalist, and said, “We’ll use him for as long as we can,”
In short, they’ll exploit him for as long as possible.
“…”
Su Jin didn’t know what to say. Could they really do that?
It seemed the base was indeed in a desperate need for expertise in this area, casually recruiting a head of another base’s research institute.
“As long as he doesn’t talk about researching others every day, that’s fine,”
Su Jin said.
“Beat him up a few more times, and he won’t dare to say it again,”
Lu Hao raised an eyebrow and said.
“…”
Su Jin silently lit three candles for Lian Ze.
As for Lian Jiyue, she and Lu Hao weren’t worried either, since Lian Ze was a normal person without any special abilities.
They did hope that Lian Jiyue would recover his memory and return to his old self soon, but it seemed that for now, they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.
…
Inside the garage, Ban Xiaobo and the others couldn’t help but admire Su Jin and Lu Hao’s efficiency. Lian Ze and Moli had been “invited out” even before the shop closed for the night.
Upon receiving instructions from Liang Jiuhui, the person in charge of human resources, Shao Zian, immediately brought the two to the garage. However, when he saw a man beaten black and blue, he was somewhat puzzled.
This is their so-called genius? He didn’t look the part!
Still, he played the part of an appreciative talent spotter to perfection.
“Is this Mr. Lian Ze?”
Shao Zian asked, giving Lian Ze a look of valuing talent.
“…”
Lian Ze didn’t respond, but Moli quickly answered as the man seemed very promising.
“Yes, may I ask who you are?”
Moli asked.
“Here’s the thing, Mr. Lian, the car you modified has caught the eye of our Base Leader. He is very interested in offering you a job at our Weapon Research Institute. You will both be provided with free board and meals daily, and there will be a monthly salary. What do you think?”
Shao Zian asked.
“Agree! We agree!”
Moli cried with joy. She wouldn’t have agreed so quickly if it weren’t for Lian Ze causing trouble again that day.
Today, Lian Ze somehow angered Rong Yuan, who had always been silent, and Rong Yuan beat him up in the garage. To note, Rong Yuan was a Metal Element Ability User, and he didn’t seem to be holding back at all, with Moli unable to restrain him.
If the two of them continued to stay here, there was no guarantee that Lian Ze wouldn’t get beaten up every day.
“My expertise isn’t in weapon research,”
Lian Ze finally spoke up.
“Is that so? But you have a lot of talent in the area of weapon research. Also, our base has an Agricultural Research Institute with vacancies. How about that?”
“…”
Lian Ze was somewhat perplexed. Why was everything in this base about researching either weapons or agriculture? What use was there in researching those things?
But in the end, he chose to accept the post at the Weapon Research Institute. Perhaps there, it would be easier to inquire about news regarding Lian Jiyue.
He and Moli had not failed to seek information about Lian Jiyue these past days, but they couldn’t find out anything. He only knew the name Lian Jiyue; he didn’t even know the name of the team. And Moli had noticed that whenever they asked about a powerful female Wood Element Special Ability User, the people in the base would look at them with caution and then walk away without looking back.
Maybe if he went to that what’s-its-name Weapon Research Institute, he could get the information faster!
Shao Zian simply took them directly to their new lodging and even enthusiastically issued them points cards from S-City Base, pre-loaded with some Crystal Cores for their meals over the next few days. This made Moli extremely grateful, and she thanked Shao Zian profusely.
“Ze, you’re amazing, we finally don’t have to rely on others!”
Moli said to Lian Ze with an adoring face.
“Hmm,”
Lian Ze also cracked a rare smile. For some reason, after these many days, he had the feeling that this job wasn’t easy to come by, just like the first time he was praised by a teacher in elementary school.
