Chapter 379: Shocking Information

After reviewing the file, Yao Ran placed it back on the table and asked, "Are you certain that the names on this list have ties to The Ark?"

Yuan Rihui nodded. "Yes. I investigated each of them before giving you their names."

Noting Yao Ran and Long Yu's gloomy expressions, Yuan Rihui added, "I know it's hard to believe, but the information is accurate. Du Zhaoyi is a member of The Ark, and half of the senior officers in this base have connections to it."

Hearing this, Long Yu turned to Yao Ran and said, "Ran Ran, we should cease all transactions with the Second Army. Du Zhaoyi is their commander, and with his ties to The Ark, it's too dangerous for you to stay in contact with him."

Yao Ran nodded in agreement. He paused and added, "I'm just worried about the soldiers in the Second Army."

Thinking about what she said, Long Yu asked, "Brother Yuan, can you identify which soldiers are connected to The Ark?"

After a moment of thought, Yuan Rihui replied, "It's possible, but the Second Army has over sixty thousand soldiers. Investigating them all would require significant time and resources." Since identifying specific soldiers was unfeasible, they needed to explore other options.

After some thought, Yao Ran asked, "Brother Yuan, do you know how the Second Army gets its supplies?"

Yuan Rihui nodded and said, "I've heard their main source of supplies is the First Army's warehouse."

"From the First Army's warehouse? What do you mean?" Yao Ran asked again.

Yuan Rihui explained, "Du Zhaoyi uses his position as the Second Army's commander to demand military funds from Commander Xu, claiming that the Second Army is responsible for the base's security, so they have the right to get the supplies."

"Isn't that standard practice in the army?" Yao Ran asked, confused by what he said.

"It is," Yuan Rihui admitted. "But the First Army is the one searching for supplies, while Du Zhaoyi prohibits Second Army soldiers from assisting them."

He paused before adding, "I believe Du Zhaoyi's real goal is to weaken the power and influence of the First Army and not just to secure supplies for the Second Army."

Listening to his words, Yao Ran lowered her eyes and thought, 'I never expected Du Zhaoyi to actually be a member of The Ark. Things are getting tricky now. It seems I need to adjust my plans with this new discovery.'

After reflecting for a moment, Yao Ran raised her eyes to look at Yuan Rihui and said, "Brother Yuan, I need a favor from you."

Raising his eyebrows at her words, Yuan Rihui chuckled and replied, "Miss Yao, with our relationship, there is no need to be so formal. Just tell me what you need, and I will help you as long as it is within my ability."

Yao Ran smiled and said, "I need you to assist Chen Zizhen in gathering and recruiting more ability users the more, the better. I will provide the two of you with the deformation medicine. You can use it to attract and recruit ability users."
