Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

The night was driven out by the day, the sky gradually brightened, and the sounds of people talking and walking became more and more obvious.

Xiao Zhang knocked on the door as ordered by the Marshal, but there was no response. He knocked again, but still no one answered.

"Knock, knock, knock," he began knocking on the door while shouting, "Marshal Lu! Are you there? Please open the door, the Marshal has a mission for you!"

He listened carefully, but there was no sound coming from the room. It was strange. Was he still sleeping in? That shouldn't be the case. He heard that soldiers were very self-disciplined. Could it be because he had a girlfriend?

Logically speaking, with Lu Jue's strength, he should have been able to hear such a loud noise. Even if he heard it and it was inconvenient for him to open the door, he should at least respond.

Xiao Zhang began to feel something was wrong. After hesitating for a while, he withdrew his hand and decided to tell Li Hongwen about it immediately. When Li Hongwen heard it, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He turned around and reported the matter to the marshal.

The Marshal's expression changed immediately after hearing this: "Did he know our plan and leave early?"

Li Hongwen: "What plan?"

Marshal: "Don't worry about this. Go get the spare key and open Lu Jue's door. If he is in the room, tell him about the mission. If he is not there, take people to search them. Do you understand?"

Li Hongwen felt strange, but as a former soldier he agreed immediately.

The marshal pondered for a while and walked towards the laboratory.

"I suspect Lu Jue knew about our plan and left ahead of time." In the white room, the marshal folded his hands, his face slightly solemn.

Liu Qing had a calm expression: "It's normal, isn't it? After all, he is the young marshal. It would be strange if he didn't react at all."

"What if he went to the Hope Base?" The marshal looked unhappy. "You know, the royal family and Yang Liming are all there. I deliberately left them behind. In their eyes, I am already a traitor. They will not let me go."

Hearing this, the relief on Liu Qing's face disappeared: "This is indeed a problem."

“So it depends on you.”

"I?"

"Of course, I will give you the greatest power. I will provide you with all the experimental resources you need. Research the ability enhancer you mentioned as soon as possible!"

"We have made great breakthroughs recently and it will take at most a month to figure it out."

The marshal frowned: "Can't it be faster? I'm afraid that they will attack me after knowing that I'm the person in charge of the Polar Day Base. Then the base I worked so hard to build will be destroyed. You don't want to see that day, do you?"

"It can be faster," Liu Qing said solemnly, "I can give it to you within a week, but if the experiments are not done well, there may be unpredictable side effects."

"Can the superpower be enhanced?"

“Of course, this is the basic function.”

"That's enough," the marshal nodded with satisfaction, "As long as the psychics on my side are much stronger than those on the other side, what can they do even if they know that the Polar Day Base belongs to me?"

"In that case, I will do the experiment." Liu Qing didn't care about these. He was obsessed with research. He would follow anyone as long as he was given a laboratory and the necessary experimental resources.

"Okay, go ahead and tell me if you need anything."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the Marshal's face showed the same friendly smile as usual. If he didn't leave, he would always be suppressed by the royal family and Yang Liming. Who would want to be inferior to others? So of course he was not wrong.

After the Marshal returned to the conference room for a while, Li Hongwen and others walked in: "Marshal, there is no one in Lu Jue's room. He took all his things with him. I suspect he has left the base."

"Why do you want to leave?" Lu Zhi was puzzled. "Are we not good enough to him? Is it because I had a fight with him? He can't be so stingy, right? At worst, I can go and apologize to him!"

"That's enough!" Du Jincheng grabbed Lu Zhi and said, "Please use your brain. What does this have to do with you? He was planning to leave anyway."

Everyone fell silent after Du Jincheng's words. Yes, Lu Jue had been planning to leave anyway.

"Alas!" The marshal sighed and shook his head with regret.

Li Hongwen also felt it was a pity and didn't understand why Lu Jue did this.

The other people had complicated expressions, some showing regret, some showing anger, and some showing dissatisfaction.

Of course, Lu Jue and the other two who had already driven away didn’t know about this, but if they knew, they wouldn’t care.

After sending Li Hongwen and the others away, the Marshal summoned Xiao Zhang and said, "Xiao Zhang, you know I trust you the most. Now Lu Jue has taken our base's scientific research success to the Hope Base. You take people to find him and never let him bring the things to the Hope Base."

"This research result is very important. It was developed by Dr. Liu Qing day and night. If it is obtained by those inhumane people in City A, the consequences will be disastrous. So when you see Lu Jue, persuade him first. If you can't persuade him, kill him on the spot!"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhang was surprised and annoyed at the same time. It was true that one cannot judge a book by its cover. It turned out that Lu Jue was such a person.
