Carl had refused to join the ‘Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force’.
However, now that he wanted to join, Li Zhuo had no reason to refuse. After all, only by completing this matter could Li Zhuo get the remaining 2.5 million. Therefore, the more people who helped him, the better.
When the two of them arrived at the recreation room, there were only Alsop and Alan left. The two of them were sitting on the sofa and playing the combat PK game seriously.
The others were not in the recreation room, and no one knew where they went.
“What should we do? Should we check the surveillance records to see where they went? It shouldn’t be difficult for you to check the surveillance records, right?”
Li Zhuo looked at Carl and asked as if it was a matter of course.
However, the child took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. “It’s indeed not difficult for me to check the surveillance records, but there are no surveillance cameras in Section S. So, we have to find other ways… do you want half of the chocolate?”
“No, thanks.” Li Zhuo rejected Carl’s kind offer.
Li Zhuo knew very well that he would have to find an opportunity to escape from prison in the future.
In order to ensure that he would have good physical strength to support his escape, he had to eat as little as possible of the food that would make him fat. The desire for freedom and survival could often improve one’s perseverance.
Li Zhuo was the first to walk towards Alsop and Allen, followed closely by Carl.
When Li Zhuo came to the sofa, the PK game had just ended. Alsop put down the game controller in her hand in annoyance and complained to Alan. “Can’t you give me some leeway? It’s so boring if you try hard every time.”
“This is the respect I have for my opponent as a player. Your ‘Kabi’ still needs some practice. If it really doesn’t work, I suggest you play that guy who repairs water pipes in the future.”
The two of them were discussing the content of the game just now. Li Zhuo waited for a long time without interrupting. He felt that this seemed a little impolite.
However, Carl, who was a child, did not care about this at all. “Do you two want to eat chocolate?”
Although this kid’s IQ was very high, his EQ did not seem to be that high.
Alsop turned around, glanced at Carl, and frowned. “Forget about the chocolate. I seem to have gained weight recently. If I continue to eat it, I might become a pig.”
“Don’t worry, you’ve already become a pig,” Alan teased with a smile.
“It’s not very polite to make such a joke to a lady!” Alsop glared at Alan.
“It doesn’t matter to me.” Alan smiled and took the chocolate from Carl.
Of course, this was not really malicious, and Alsop would not be really angry.
At this seemingly inappropriate time, Carl interrupted them again. “Do you know where the others went?”
“The others? If you’re talking about Armstrong, he seems to be looking for Henry. We don’t know where Henry and Putnam went either.”
“Okay, thank you.” Li Zhuo nodded.
Carl thought for a moment before replying. “Henry sometimes likes to stay in his laboratory to make new potions. Should we go there and look for them?”
“Good idea.” Li Zhuo nodded with a smile.
Listening to their conversation, Alsop and Alan looked at each other and saw a trace of curiosity in each other’s eyes.
“Hey, didn’t you say that you don’t plan to join the Investigate what exactly did Putnam bring to the S District Task Force?” Alsop asked Carl curiously.
The corners of Li Zhuo’s eyes twitched. Why did everyone like to recite the full name of this strange task force?!
Carl revealed a mysterious smile. “That’s because this matter has become interesting.”
“It became interesting?” Alsop’s eyes lit up. “Tell me about it?”
Alan also revealed an intrigued expression and quietly waited for Carl’s answer.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Carl revealed a wicked smile and extended a finger.
Li Zhuo was slightly stunned. This kid would not ask for another 10 million ‘intelligence fee’ right!
“Give me 100 yuan and I’ll tell you.”
“Hey, hey, hey, that’s too much. Why is it 10 million for Armstrong, and 100 for the two of them! This is clearly bullying Armstrong!!”
Li Zhuo was completely shocked. The difference was too big!
“Of course there’s a big difference. Armstrong asked me to complete a high-difficulty mission, so the fee will naturally be slightly more expensive.”
There was no difference between the two. He was clearly selling the same information!!
Li Zhuo complained silently in his heart. He did not want his complaints to delay their progress too much.
The next moment, Alsop took out her phone from her sleeve and tapped on the screen a few times with her finger.
Soon, Carl received a 100 yuan transfer.
Aaron did the same thing. Obviously, for these two top criminals, a hundred yuan was not expensive to buy interesting information. This information might not be of much use to them in the end.
After Carl confirmed that the money had been transferred, he nodded in satisfaction. “Just now, Armstrong asked me to check Putnam’s online shopping records. Guess what he bought?”
“Chainsaw? Bazooka?”
“Zombie virus?”
“Hey, hey, hey, why did you think of such a terrifying thing? Can bazookas be bought online?! Also, zombie virus is too ridiculous!!” Li Zhuo could not help but complain again.
Carl did not have much of a reaction to the two’s guess. Instead, he spoke mysteriously. “He bought knives. A lot of different kinds of knives!”
Hearing this answer, Alsop and Allen looked at each other again, then turned around and picked up the handle.
“I thought he bought something. With Putnam’s job, it’s normal to buy a knife, right?”
“It’s so boring. He should have bought a zombie virus.”
“Hey, hey, hey, stop talking about zombie virus. How can you buy such a thing?”
Carl seemed to be a little disappointed when he saw that the two of them were not interested, but he was not willing to give up so easily.
He jumped lightly, leaned on the back of the sofa, and stuck himself between their heads. “It doesn’t matter what Putnam bought. The important thing is that Armstrong is very scared now. He suspects that Putnam might want to kill him for what happened today, so he is trying to find Henry to help.”
Hearing this, Alsop and Alan put down the controllers again, showing their interest again.
“Armstrong is worried that Putnam will kill him? That’s interesting. I’ll go with you to take a look.”
“So Armstrong wants to find Henry to create a zombie virus to fight back?”
“I told you there’s no zombie virus in this world!”
