Chapter 1686
She glanced at the original letter, which clearly had plenty of space left, yet she chose not to write on it.
She opened the letter with suspicion to take a look.
The others gathered around to see as well.
Upon seeing it, everyone’s complexion changed.
It was, in fact, a hand-drawn map!
On the map, there were only a few lines of text—
"Milty originally planned to rescue Aunt Joy before the operation in the Valleys began and then further intercept the swapped vaccine. But now he’s fallen asleep, and I have no choice but to seek you out at the risk of being discovered. This map shows Aunt Joy’s location; this is all I can do. The rest is up to you."
The map was roughly drawn, only allowing for a general idea of the location.
Alex quickly recognized the place.
"This is the Southwest Fifth JUN District, also the Southwest’s largest military district, situated in the most border city of the southwest, secluded with a mountain range surrounding it, the terrain steep and rugged."
He placed his finger on a location on the map marked with a special symbol, saying, "This spot is a heavily guarded arsenal. By all ans, it shouldn’t be a place to hide people. If my mother-in-law is there, it’s likely she’s underneath this ground."
Evelyn Thompson quickly said, "If that’s the case, we should report it imdiately so that the officers there can conduct a thorough search and rescue her."
Chloe Collins, however, said, "It’s not that simple. I think, if the Valleys could send people there, it’s very likely that they have control over the area."
William Foster’s face grew solemn, "If the entire military district has fallen and beco overrun with Mutated People, then... it’s completely ruined!"
"I’ll send people to investigate. Right now, the most critical issue is the vaccine," he said, already setting down his fork and knife, preparing to leave.
"You all wait for news at ho; I’ll handle these matters," he added.
Chloe Collins was about to speak, but Evelyn Thompson took her by the hand, saying, "Let the n handle it. You’re an expectant mother now, you need to take care of yourself at ho."
With such watchful eyes on her, even if Chloe wanted to do sothing, it beca impossible.
William and Alex Foster both left the house quickly. anwhile, the n from the West Wing also headed to the Company, primarily to resolve the vaccine issue.
Chloe Collins couldn’t sit still at ho, her mind alternatively fixated on the vaccine issue, her mother’s situation, or the antidote research happening in the laboratory, which constantly tugged at her heart.
She wanted to talk to soone, but everyone was busy with their tasks.
Wanda Wesley and Robert Foster were busy in the military camp, Layla Lowell and Albert Green were wholly dedicated to researching the antidote, and Charles Carrington was managing all affairs of Carrington Enterprise in her stead...
Normally, she could have chatted online with friends from all over the world, but Evelyn Thompson strictly limited her mobile phone usage by citing radiation concerns.
Therefore, she could only spend the afternoon drawing or reading comics in the Courtyard.
Evelyn Thompson stayed by her side all the ti, so she had no chance to go out.
Waiting and waiting, she finally reached the evening, just hoping Alex would return and update her about the situation.
Close to dinnerti, Alex called.
With a smile, Evelyn Thompson passed her the phone, saying, "It’s been just one day apart, look how anxious you are."
Chloe Collins thought about her behavior and acknowledged her impatience; she laughed it off and moved on.
She took the phone, quickly dialed the video call, and saw the man on the other end.
"Hm? Are you in the workshop?"
