When Deputy Captain Ma asked about Han Bao,
Han Liu hesitated, made a shushing gesture at Deputy Captain Ma, then glanced toward every corner of his room.
Deputy Captain Ma merely shook his head and looked at Lin Xuankong and Han Liu with curiosity.
"Don't worry. There's no surveillance in the room, and no one outside is eavesdropping.
You two and Han Bao have been gone from Shelter No. 36 for so long. Every Gene Warrior in the shelter, apart from Deputy Captain You Rui, believes that all three of you died outside! According to Xu Chong, a Predator Giant Python attacked you back then. Even if Captain You Rui and I had been there, it would have been troublesome.

Nearly everyone thinks the three of you are dead. Why would anyone specifically install surveillance equipment in your rooms?

Han Liu nodded, sat opposite Deputy Captain Ma, and spoke with a serious expression.
"Captain Ma, Brother Leopard said that among all the Gene Warriors in Shelter No. 36, only you and Deputy Captain You Rui could be trusted. So I won't hide too much from you regarding Brother Leopard! Brother Leopard is near Shelter No. 36 right now. He's alive. The reason he didn't return with us is because of some special circumstances!
"Also, we didn't come back this time intending to live in Shelter No. 36 for long. We plan to hand over some supplies to you, visit you and Deputy Captain You Rui, then leave Shelter No. 36!"
