Chapter 110 Cyber World 12
Zou Qi returned to her room and gently closed the door.
"Sister? Where did you go?" Zou Yue's soft voice came from the bed in the darkness.
Zou Qi groped her way to the bedside in the dark: "Xiaoyue, you're awake."
Zou Yue rushed into Zou Qi's arms and gently nodded her little head.
"Sister, Xiaoyue's head is throbbing."
Zou Qi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned on the bedside lamp and looked at Zou Yue.
"Why does my head feel swollen?"
Zou Yue frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and pain.
"Sister, I don't know either. I just suddenly felt a throbbing in my head, like something was about to burst out."
Zou Qi's heart clenched instantly. She looked at Zou Yue nervously and gently stroked her head.
"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, your sister is here. Maybe you're having a nightmare?"
Zou Yue shook her head. "It wasn't a nightmare, sister. My head feels really uncomfortable."
Zou Qi bit her lip, her heart filled with worry.
For reasons unknown, perhaps due to a lack of suitable test subjects, or perhaps to control his father, Bohr secretly brought his sister to the laboratory behind his father's back and conducted human experiments for the Brain Flash Memory Project without his consent.
Many people have actually died in this experiment; they were all captured by Bohr from places like shantytowns and brought to the laboratory.
But for some unknown reason, only her younger sister, Zou Yue, survived the experiment unharmed and integrated well.
When Bohr found out, he was overjoyed. During a conversation with his father, he let it slip. His father was furious and heartbroken when he learned of this. That's why he stole the core technology and fled the laboratory with the intention of destroying it. In order to cover for the two of them, he and his mother died together with the people who came to capture them.
She hugged Zou Yue tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. Although Xiao Yue had been eating well these past two days, she hadn't gained any weight. Holding her felt like holding a feather, so light and airy. Zou Qi felt a pang of heartache.
"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, your sister will definitely protect you." Zou Qi's voice trembled slightly.
Actually, the reason why Bohr hadn't been able to catch the two sisters for three years was largely thanks to Zou Yue. After merging with the brain's flash memory, she seemed to have learned a lot of things and contributed a lot to their escape.
Sometimes, Zou Qi felt that the calm, robot-like little girl was not quite like her own sister.
However, once the two of them were completely out of Bo's sights, Zou Yue returned to being a normal little girl, even forgetting how she used to help her sister escape.
Suddenly, Zou Yue in his arms tilted her head slightly, a stream of data flashing in her eyes.
"Oh no, my sister's account has been traced."
Zou Qi froze and looked down at Zou Yue.
A look of worry suddenly appeared on her young face. She looked up at Zou Qi and said, "There has been money flowing into my sister's account recently. Someone has tracked down the address. Although I helped my sister erase the traces, it seems to be too late. At the latest, someone will come to Mechanical City by tomorrow morning."
"Xiaoyue, you can do this again..."
Zou Yue's little face immediately scrunched up: "Sister, my head feels a little uncomfortable, I want to sleep."
She snuggled into her sister's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
She gently stroked Zou Yue's hair, her mind racing with thoughts. The fact that their accounts were being investigated meant they were facing danger again.
During her three years on the run, to avoid being exposed, she avoided using cryptocurrency and mostly bartered.
Perhaps three years of safe living made her lose her vigilance and become complacent, or perhaps she felt she had no choice this time and had to agree to help Lin Xiaoqian receive Fiona's transfer.
From the moment she fainted from hunger in front of this restaurant, she was inexplicably bound to it. Perhaps if she had starved to death on the street, none of what happened afterward would have occurred.
She gently placed Zou Yue's head on the pillow, then got up and went to Lin Xiaoqian's room.
Just then, Jiang Shuang and the others were planning to move the beryllium, so they didn't disperse.
As soon as Zou Qi entered, he said, "I have another condition: you must protect my sister's safety forever."
Jiang Shuang frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying that? What happened?"
Zou Qi bit her lip. "Bohr's people tracked our location because I left a trace when I received Fiona's transfer... I can't let my sister be in danger any longer, so you must protect her safety forever. That's my only request."
Jiang Shuang and the others exchanged glances, their expressions grave.
A look of guilt flashed in Lin Xiaoqian's eyes: "I'm sorry."
Their identities were exposed because they allowed Zou Qi to receive the money transfers.
Zou Qi shook his head and said, "I don't blame you. It was my own carelessness. At the latest, Boer's people will arrive in the Mechanical City-State by tomorrow morning."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect you and your sister's safety. Remember, in the days to come, no matter what happens, you and your sister must not leave the restaurant. I can only protect you if you stay in the restaurant; if you go out, I can't help you."
Seeing Lin Xiaoqian's determined gaze, Zou Qi felt a little more at ease. She nodded and said, "Okay, I remember. I'll keep an eye on my sister and make sure she doesn't go out."
As night deepened, a hovercar appeared in the sky above the shantytown.
A man with a ponytail, wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket tapped a few times on the screen in front of him.
Then he said to the bald man next to him, "Although the lead has gone cold, the target is indicated to be in this area. Should we check them one by one?"
The houses in the shantytown below are crammed together so tightly that there is hardly any space between them. From above, they look like a sea of haphazardly pieced-together building materials, with countless roofs tightly packed together, a dizzying sight.
The bald man lit a cigarette and picked up the energy cannon that was placed to the side.
"Why bother with all that? Just blast it with one cannon and that's it."
The man with the ponytail quickly stopped him: "The professor wants to capture him alive. What if you kill him with a single shot?"
The bald man shrugged and said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
The man with the ponytail tapped the screen a few times: "The account that made the transfer is also nearby. Let's go find her and ask her first."
The bald man shrugged indifferently.
Fiona is very easy to find, at least her hideout is easy to find; anyone in the shantytown would know her.
When the two men found her, she was fast asleep, embracing her lover.
The man with the ponytail patted Fiona's face with a cane-like weapon; the cold touch instantly woke her up.
"who are you?"
The man with the ponytail got straight to the point: "Where is the person you transferred money to yesterday?"
A flicker of panic crossed Fiona's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. After all, she had been the boss for quite some time, so she had the composure to keep it up.
She frowned, looking at the two strangers in front of her, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. What transfer person? I don't understand."
The man with the ponytail sneered, pressing his cane-like weapon against Fiona's chin with slight force: "Don't play dumb. You transferred money yesterday, and we need to know where the recipient is. If you don't tell the truth..."
He moved his cane to her forehead.
Fiona then realized that the seemingly ordinary cane was actually a gun barrel!
