Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Departure
After finding out that the Heart Talk Team had taken the mission from the people of Y-country, Officer Liang Jiuhui sent a bunch of equipnt to the team’s villa that very evening through Song Sibo.
“Officer Liang says Su Jin’s safety is of utmost importance, so these are all-around protective gear,”
Song Sibo said, introducing each item as he took them out from the space one by one.
When Lu Hao saw Song Sibo take out so more items, he suddenly beca silent, along with Lian Jiyue who stood beside him.
They could obviously tell what those rows of wooden boxes contained; such a vast amount of explosives, enough to not just blow up the research institute but probably level the entire E-city base, right?
If it weren’t for knowing Liang Jiuhui’s character, Lu Hao might truly suspect that he had ulterior motives.
Apart from various equipnt and weapons, Song Sibo also brought out several sets of battle clothes invented by Lian Ze, but their bright red tight-fitting style was deeply detested by the family.
Why not make the good battle clothes in black?
“Let’s leave these for the base,”
Su Jin suggested, pointing at those few sets of battle clothes.
“That’s not possible, I am only responsible for the delivery, not for taking things back,”
Song Sibo refused, following the orders given by Liang Jiuhui for the Heart Talk Team to accept them no matter what.
“Alright…”
Su Jin agreed without any other choice. Anyway, she wasn’t going to wear those so-called battle clothes, which were simply too glaring for the eyes.
Huang Yunxiang then gave Song Sibo so homade food, before she and Lin Cheng saw him out.
“Our Base Leader is really sothing, no longer giving out Crystal Cores, instead he’s sending stuff now,”
Huang Yunxiang turned around and said.
“Didn’t you hear what Xiao Hao said? He wants to be involved, but is afraid of causing trouble for the base, so this is the only way he can show it,”
Lin Cheng said, closing the door behind him.
Su Jin had already stored all the stuff that filled the room into her space; as for that row of wooden boxes, she put them into a secure area within her space, unlikely to be needed this ti.
The family’s departure was set for the day after tomorrow. They were not going to travel with those few individuals from Y-country, but planned to head to the E-city base first. Lian Zongren was also going with them, and Mao Qiqi was to follow as well, so they decided to set off in two vehicles.
Su Xiangzhe specially found a few books on Y-country from the space, one of which contained a detailed map of Y-country, which seed quite useful.
“If we travel directly from here to Y-country, such a long distance would probably take about 12 days, making it almost a month for a round trip,”
Su Xiangzhe calculated the distance and ti needed, sighing as he spoke.
“Isn’t it all for the 4 million Crystal Cores? Actually, it’s quite worth it,”
Lin Tianhui also did the math. They had taken trips to other places before and it would take them one to two months to return, earning less than half of 4 million Crystal Cores. This ti, they could treat it as a vacation, although she was already embarrassed to ask for leave again.
While eating an apple, Su Jin was flipping through those basic books with Lu Hao. Y-country was not an island nation, and before the apocalypse, it was possible to reach Y-country’s border by following a bridge from the N-city border. It seed that this bridge must have been destroyed now, which was why Qiao said they would need to travel so distance by water.
“Lian Jiyue said that there are many Huaxia people within the borders of Y-country; it’s just unclear what their situation is now,”
Lu Hao said.
“Let’s just go and see, but I am really curious how they’ve survived in a place crawling with zombie cockroaches and zombie rats,” Su Jin bit into an apple. Given the habits of zombie cockroaches, they should have devoured all living creatures in the places they passed through. Qiao also said that now the whole territory of Country Y is infested with zombie cockroaches… and those people from Country Y seem to be in possession of crystal cores.
…
In the canteen of the S City base, Jiang Yixiao had also regained her previous smile.
Although she had killed soone that night, the base had only called her in to record her statent. Later, the security team found a pinhole surveillance device in her room, which corroborated her previous account.
Lin Xiuyuan had been extrely cooperative, stating only that people from E City wanted to capture the dual-elent ability user Jiang Yixiao to conduct experints, and that Jiang Yixiao had killed the other party in self-defense. The base did not hold anything against her; on the contrary, they praised her, and it could be said that the situation was perfectly resolved.
“Jiang Yixiao, I have so good news to tell you.”
Lin Xiuyuan appeared at the entrance of the canteen at so point, and Jiang Yixiao saw him as soon as she finished eating and ca out.
“Lin Xiuyuan? What brings you here?! What’s the good news?”
Jiang Yixiao was very happy; she felt she had truly made a real friend who would never sche against her.
“Co here, this is sothing that others can’t know about, you just need to know since it also involves you,” Lin Xiuyuan said mysteriously. He then told Jiang Yixiao about their upcoming mission to destroy the research institute in E City Base, and Jiang Yixiao’s expression gradually changed from bafflent to joy.
“So, does this an that no one will covet my… anymore?”
Jiang Yixiao asked excitedly. If the research institute was destroyed, would that an no one would notice the secret of her space ability anymore?
“Yeah, that’s why I ca to tell you. But you still need to stay vigilant, in case soone else discovers it,” Lin Xiuyuan said. The ban was indeed very effective for Jiang Yixiao; she had gotten much better at keeping her mouth shut.
“Thank you, Lin Xiuyuan.”
Jiang Yixiao spoke sincerely, expressing gratitude for his honesty, for bringing her to such a great base where she no longer had to wander the apocalypse alone, and most importantly, for helping her keep her secret.
“You should really thank , else you might have been snatched away and ‘snip snipped’ by those people by now,” Lin Xiuyuan exaggerated.
“If it were before the apocalypse, I could have taken you out to eat, but you probably don’t care for the food in the base canteen now, so forget it. However, if you need my help in the future, you must tell , as I, Jiang Yixiao, am willing to go through fire and water!”
Jiang Yixiao looked earnestly at Lin Xiuyuan as she spoke.
“Cough cough, alright, enough of that, I’m off,” Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand. He had actually thought of this matter just before the team was set to depart. If they could really destroy the research institute, then Jiang Yixiao’s secret should also be erased, and the girl would not have to worry about sleepless nights. Here’s hoping their mission would be a success!
…
On the morning of departure, even though Lian Zongren had already known that the Heart Talk Team would accompany them to E City Base, he was still sowhat touched seeing the Heart Talk Team prepared and ready to go early in the morning.
Yueer had made so true friends who were willing to help him, which understandably was why he was willing to stay with the Heart Talk Team before.
But he couldn’t help worrying— if they successfully destroyed the research institute at E City Base, would Yueer be able to get away safely?
This was also the reason he wanted to go along with Lian Jiyue.
