Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Arrival at the Port
“Didn’t they say it? It seems it was the people from N City who ntioned it,”
Lu Guanhai said.
“I think it’s not that simple, everyone just be cautious,”
Lu Hao still trusted his own judgnt.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Hao, we will be extra careful, and even after we get there, we will only eat our own food, it’s safer that way,”
Su Xiangzhe said, as Su Jin was pregnant, they did not trust the food from that place.
“Zombie Cockroach, I will resolve it as soon as possible, and after that, we will leave there, there shouldn’t be too many problems,”
Su Jin also trusted Lu Hao’s judgnt that dealing with the Zombie Cockroach must at least be true, and she planned to finish it quickly and then leave that place imdiately.
“Xiao Jin, after this task, you must stay inside the base, you can’t run around anymore. Every ti you go out, my heart trembles,”
Li Xiuying spoke up; Su Jin was already slightly showing, after all, it was a twin belly and it would be unreasonable if it wasn’t noticeable.
“I know, Grandma, I promise you,”
Su Jin smiled, saying that once they return, she should be 7 months pregnant, and she wouldn’t feel comfortable going out with a big belly.
The four days in the Space that night, were also mostly busy for the family.
They had to store food, dicinal herbs, fruits, and livestock eggs in the warehouse, and aside from working, Lu Hao also looked through so alchemy books in the Pill Room.
Though he couldn’t understand many of the words, fortunately, Nie Qing could understand them all. However, the more he read, the more he felt the profound depth of alchemy, and he barely understood even the the basics.
“Don’t worry, take it slow,”
Su Jin also consoled, they still had a lot of Face-changing Pills, and if really needed, they could just send a representative to do the materials trade.
“Our Xiao Hao can definitely make it, after all, he’s also the heir of the Lu Family, hahaha,”
Lu Guanhai said leaning back.
“Heir of the Lu Family, but may I ask where is your heir? Seems like you don’t carry the Lu surna ah,”
Nie Qing felt that Lu Guanhai was just spouting nonsense and couldn’t help retorting, wondering how such a formidable apprentice ended up with such a useless dad.
“Alright, stop arguing, let’s eat sothing, it’s almost dawn outside,”
Lin Yunguo ca over with so snacks and milk, which served as a breakfast before they went out.
————————————-
At the border of Y Country, there is a port adjacent to N City; this place used to be overwheld by a Zombie Tide, but it had all been burned to a charred land.
Relying solely on Y Country’s own developnt, self-sufficiency was difficult, especially after the Apocalypse, they had co to heavily rely on Huaxia Country, their closest neighbor.
Thus, they didn’t hesitate to waste a great deal of manpower and gasoline just to eliminate the Zombie Tide at this port.
The stench of char remains pervasive even today, Qiao and David had already grown accustod to this sll.
Today was their third day here, yet the people from the Heart Talk Team still hadn’t shown up.
“We must have been deceived, Qiao, you shouldn’t have given up those 1 million Crystal Cores,”
Reese rattled on.
“You don’t know anything, just stop talking,”
Qiao said impatiently.
“It looks like soone’s coming, I saw a car,”
Morris, excited, ran down from the top of the lighthouse with a telescope and said.
Soone is coming?
Qiao also stood up. Was it the Heart Talk Team?
However, to their surprise, the people who arrived were not from the Heart Talk Team but two Huaxia people who had trade relations with the Nickle family.
“We heard the news, are you waiting for the Heart Talk Team here?”
Zhang Mingxu was acquainted with Qiao. As a collateral branch of the Nickle Family, Qiao’s other identity was actually that of a runner, and he had seen him a few tis in City B.
“Yes, we are waiting,”
Qiao answered truthfully.
“Very well, you actually managed to invite them.”
Zhang Mingxu was sowhat surprised. The Heart Talk Team was really professional when it ca to their mission.
“Does Mr. Zhang have any instructions?”
Qiao asked, their interest in the Heart Talk Team apparent?
“You don’t need to know that. We will get in touch with Xius on our own. You just take good care of your guests,”
Zhang Mingxu finished speaking and left the lighthouse with his colleague, Duan Hongyuan. They also needed to report back on this matter.
“Qiao, what do these people an, never telling us anything? Could it be that they have so sort of conspiracy with Xius?”
David said with a displeased expression.
“Their target seems to be the Heart Talk Team,”
Qiao looked at the foggy weather in the distance and sighed. Inviting the Heart Talk Team for this mission, he had started to doubt whether it was the right decision.
“That fool Xius, if it wasn’t for his purer lineage, the Nickle Family would have been Qiao’s long ago. What’s there to be proud of?”
At the top of the lighthouse, Reese and Morris complained. With Qiao’s abilities, how could he be just a runner under soone as incompetent as Xius?
“Lineage, do you understand what lineage ans?”
Morris continued to look into the distance with his telescope. The Heart Talk Team was still not coming, and his eyes were getting sore.
“Zombies don’t care about lineage when they eat people,”
Reese said disdainfully.
That afternoon, Morris finally saw a slightly larger vehicle appear within the scope of his telescope. He had a feeling that this vehicle must be the Heart Talk Team!
Mao Qiqi also spotted the four people inside the lighthouse from afar and called everyone out from the Space.
“Four people?”
Su Jin asked. She rembered there were more than four people before.
“They must have lost so on the way,”
Lin Xiuyuan said nonchalantly as he looked out the window. Their journey had not been easy, almost getting blocked by zombies several tis a day, not to ntion those people.
Qiao watched the vehicle drive directly under the lighthouse, still wondering if it was the Heart Talk Team. How did they know there were people here?
But after seeing the group of energetic people getting out of the car, he imdiately forgot this question. It really was the Heart Talk Team!
“You finally arrived, thank you for your efforts,”
Qiao said enthusiastically as he walked out of the lighthouse.
“No worries, sorry to keep you waiting,”
Su Jin replied with a smile.
“Yes, we’ve been waiting for a full three days,”
Reese quickly added, but that earned him a glare from Qiao.
“Shall we set off without delay now?”
Lu Hao asked.
“You’ve just arrived, do you want to rest here for a mont? Or we can set off early tomorrow morning,”
David said, although these people appeared to have no signs of fatigue.
“No need to rest now. We can rest once we reach your country,”
Su Jin replied, the sooner they arrived in Y country, the sooner they could get acquainted with the situation there.
