At the same time

The team member who added Yun Lan as a friend arrived at an exquisitely decorated room. The floor was spotless, the furniture complete. If one ignored the ominous heavy rain outside the window, it would absolutely make people mistakenly believe that the apocalypse hadn't happened outside and order still prevailed.

The team member entered the living room, lowered his head, and reported to the man in a suit sitting on the black sofa: "Young Master, I've obtained information regarding Li Xuan."

The suit-clad man leaned forward, fingers interlocked, his pitch-black pupils resembling boundless night. "I hope your information isn't just speculation about his identity."

"Li Xuan currently resides in the Yuefu residential complex. He has a girlfriend who is the younger sister of Rescue Team Second Squad Captain Huo Shuangshuang, named Huo Lingling. Li Xuan is very fond of Huo Lingling. According to reliable intelligence, Li Xuan has left the complex multiple times since the apocalypse began specifically to search for Huo Lingling." The team member stated solemnly.

The suit-clad man paused, then suddenly stood up, his expression no longer calm. "Where did you get this information?"

He had expended untold manpower and resources without finding Li Xuan's location.

Now this insignificant rescue team member had reported everything!

After the team member revealed his information source, the suit-clad man's lips curled upward, unable to suppress his inner ecstasy any longer as he burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! Heaven helps me indeed!"

The world never lacked clever people, nor those brimming with imagination.

Even one-in-ten-thousand geniuses numbered fourteen thousand in Xia Country alone!

Since the authorities had deciphered the origin of transformation abilities, many had been searching for the giant beast transformers!

For no other reason than pure luck couldn't explain Li Xuan's capabilities.

When darkness descended, could one possibly coincidentally ingest the genes of Tyrannosaurus Rex, whale, and Quetzalcoatlus?

The suit-clad man completely disbelieved this. He believed Li Xuan must have learned part of the apocalypse's truth through some channel.

The authorities were also searching for giant beast transformers, but finding someone based on a vague silhouette was extremely difficult. With order collapsing after the apocalypse, previous methods for quickly locating individuals became nearly impossible, leaving only comprehensive search approaches.

The giant beast transformer had appeared in R City's urban area and certainly hadn't gone far. Barring accidents, official forces would eventually find them, but an accident had occurred—the heavy rain had thwarted official plans.

The suit-clad man had coincidentally learned the giant beast transformer's identity beforehand from a woman named Bai Lengning.

But that foolish woman had actually forgotten where Li Xuan lived!

If he passed this information to R City's authorities, finding Li Xuan would be easier, but he wouldn't obtain the greatest benefits in the end. To monopolize the hidden treasure within Li Xuan, he chose to conceal the information and secretly sent people to search.

As for Bai Lengning?

She would never speak again.

"A man who knew how to obtain transformation abilities before the apocalypse began, who foresightedly gained unique transformation capabilities—yet he can't find a single woman. Why do you think that is?" The suit-clad man asked with keen interest.

"This subordinate doesn't know."

"Never mind if you don't know. You've rendered great service this time. Go find Old Wang to collect food and water. Later I'll arrange several beauties for you." The suit-clad man waved his hand.

The team member nodded excitedly. "Sir, among this batch of survivors there's a woman named Yun Lan. I want her."

"Handle it yourself. I've given you so much food—can't you even manage a woman?" The suit-clad man said.

"Yes, yes."

After the team member left, the suit-clad man slowly walked to the bathroom where a woman hung suspended.

A hemp rope circled the woman's neck, her hands locked in handcuffs. She could only stand on tiptoe to prevent the rope from tightening around her neck. If she relaxed even slightly, the rope would constrict, cutting off her breath. Within one minute, she would die.

The suit-clad man approached, reached out, and stroked the woman's cheek. "Truly a beautiful face. Pity you couldn't satisfy me, otherwise you wouldn't suffer like this."

Bai Lengning glared venomously at the suit-clad man. "Beast! Release me immediately!"

"I can, but you must answer my questions truthfully."

"I've told you! I don't know where Li Xuan lives!"

"No, I already know Li Xuan lives in Yuefu."

Bai Lengning's expression shifted slightly, fleeting but captured by the observant suit-clad man.

The suit-clad man drew a dagger from his chest and gently drew it across Bai Lengning's neck, slicing through her windpipe. Copious blood splattered onto his body, but he made no move to avoid it, bathing in human blood like a slasher film killer.

"Since it's true, you've become useless. To prevent you from spreading the information, please die first. Thanks for your cooperation." The suit-clad man dropped the dagger, looking at the desperately struggling Bai Lengning with apparent pity.

Bai Lengning stared fixedly at the suit-clad man, her heart filled with indescribable hatred.

In her final moments, memories flashed through Bai Lengning's mind.

She hadn't actually confirmed whether Li Xuan was the giant beast transformer—she only suspected it.

One month ago, she'd been discovered by the team led by the suit-clad man. Originally thinking herself rescued, she never expected the suit-clad man to be a beast who didn't actually like women, but a murderous demon who took pleasure in killing!

To survive, she had deceived the suit-clad man, claiming Li Xuan was the giant beast transformer.

But she never anticipated the suit-clad man would repeatedly torture her simply because she forgot which complex Li Xuan lived in.

'Go search then. If Li Xuan is the giant beast transformer, given his ruthlessness, he'll certainly fight you to the death. If Li Xuan isn't the giant beast transformer, your efforts will be utterly wasted.'
