Chapter 45: Killing the Goose That Lays the Egg

After hearing her say the ugly words in advance, Jin Lei's doubts were somewhat alleviated.

Taking the test tube, Jin Lei pried open the fourth brother's mouth and poured it all in.

"What's next?" He looked at Jiang Mi.

Jiang Mi glanced at the person on the bed and said, "Just wait. The advancement time varies from 3 to 7 days. It depends on when he wakes up."

Jin Lei took a deep breath and said to the woman standing at the door in a deep voice: "Wenyu, take them to a room to rest."

The woman called Wenyu chuckled and said, "My two distinguished guests, please follow me."

After saying that, he turned and left the house.

There are four households on this floor, each with three bedrooms and two living rooms, about 100 square meters. Zhu San and the man who had never talked much were resting in another house next door.

"I still don't know what to call you two?" Wen Yu glanced at Jiang Xun and chatted in a relaxed tone.

Jiang Mi smiled slightly, "My last name is Jiang, and he is my brother."

"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Jiang." Wenyu showed a little surprise, then smiled and said, "This room is where I, Brother Lei and Xiao Si live. Although there are three rooms over there, Zhu San and Xiao Long live there, so there are two rooms left. They are both clean. I'll take you to have a look."

It was impossible for Jiang Mi to live with them, so she had no objection to hearing Wen Yu say that. She nodded with a smile. As for Jiang Xun, he naturally did whatever his sister said.

Wenyu led the two of them to the house opposite. At some point, a piece of wire appeared in her hand. She fiddled with the door lock a few times and the resident's door opened.

The house was decorated in a very clean European style, and it was obvious that the owner had spent a lot of money on the renovation, but many things were scattered on the ground in a mess, and even bloodstains could be seen in many places.

Seeing Jiang Mi's eyes lingering on the bloodstains, Wen Yu shrugged and chuckled, "This is indeed considered relatively clean."

These houses had been ransacked over and over again, so the main furniture was not damaged much, but the small items were not so lucky. If there was a conflict with someone, a little blood would be a piece of cake.

When they searched this room, there was an old lady who had been dead for several days inside. If it weren't for the disgusting smell or the fear that the stench of the corpse would attract some unknown danger, the body would probably still be lying here now.

Jiang Mi didn't comment on her words, but Wen Yu was right. Compared to most places, this house was indeed relatively clean, but the stench of corpse was still faintly perceptible at the tip of the nose.

"If you are not satisfied, there is another one, but it is a rental house and the environment inside is not as good as here." Wenyu stood aside with her arms crossed.

"No need, let's do it here." Jiang Mi waved his hand indifferently.

"Okay, but... you two don't look like you have any supplies." Wen Yu looked back and forth between Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun, with a probing look in her eyes.

It’s not that there are no supplies, there are none at all!

Jiang Mi has space so she can take things anytime and anywhere. Jiang Xun's things are all in her pockets, and Jiang Mi is always with her, so if she needs anything, she just needs to call her, and there is no need for a backpack or anything like that.

"Don't worry about this, Miss Wenyu." Jiang Mi smiled slightly, not wanting to continue chatting with her.

It was getting dark and she was feeling hungry. She had to clean up the house quickly and prepare hotpot for tonight!

Seeing that she was not going to reveal anything, Wenyu shrugged and said, "Well, I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, you can always come across to find me, of course, if I can help you."

After saying that, Wenyu left, and considerately closed the door for them.

After Wen Yu left, Jiang Mi did not chat with Jiang Xun immediately. The two of them searched the entire house first and then felt a little relaxed.

Although Jin Lei's gang doesn't seem to be capable of installing eavesdropping devices or the like, it's better to be safe than sorry, so we still have to be cautious when we are on someone else's territory.

It took another hour to tidy up the room, install the purifier, etc., and the house was finally restored to a normal living environment.

Jiang Mi took off the filter on his face, took two deep breaths, and then lay down on the sofa and kept shouting, "I hope I can find Xing Shaoan quickly this time. This filter is suffocating me."

Jiang Xun was packing food for tonight's hotpot.

"That person has already started to deform. Can the lake water still have any effect?"

Jiang Mi peeled a lollipop and put it in his mouth, mumbling: "I don't know. My team used to be very careful about the lake water. There has never been a situation where someone drank the lake water after they had already advanced. So this time it can be regarded as an experiment."

"If it succeeds, it means the lake water is more powerful than we thought, but if it fails, it doesn't matter."

At this point, Jiang Mi looked nonchalant, "The worst that can happen is the loss of manpower for Jin Lei and his group. We can go find other people. If they want to make trouble, then we can give it a try."

From the moment Jiang Mi decided to take out the lake water, he made up his mind to slowly and thoroughly explore the capabilities of the lake water.

Her effect on the lake water is only to enable humans to advance perfectly. There are still too many various uncertain factors. For example, for this person whose body has been deformed halfway through the advancement, it is unknown whether drinking the lake water can reverse the deformation.

These ready-made people were perfect for her to use for verification, and all she had to pay was a little space and water. Not only could she obtain a large amount of free labor, but she could also increase the weight of her identity in the eyes of others.

"The pot is boiling, come and eat." Jiang Xun sat at the table and put lamb rolls into the hot pot. The huge table was filled with various hot pot side dishes.

"Here it comes." Jiang Mi quickly bit off the remaining lollipop in her mouth and swallowed it, then rushed to sit opposite Jiang Xun and started enjoying the hot pot.

The other side.

Jin Lei had been sitting by the bed, looking at his brother lying on the bed. He looked a little tired but did not dare to relax.

He knew the danger of advancement and was even more worried. Even with the potions given by those two people, how could he feel at ease until the person was truly safe?

At this time Wenyu walked in.

"Brother Lei, I suspect those two may have superpowers like space."

Jin Lei rubbed his face, "The origins of those two people are a mystery, so it's normal."

"You say, if we kill the person with the space, will the things in their space explode? Just like when we used to play games and equipment would drop from killing monsters." Wen Yu lowered her voice, a glimmer of greed in her eyes.

Jin Lei's eyes moved, and after a long silence, he said coldly: "It's best to give up this idea of yours. If Xiao Si can successfully advance safely this time, you should understand how important this is to us. If they can take out one tube, they can definitely take out the second tube."

"Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not worth the loss."
