Chapter 276: Ungrateful

Jingchen walked around the room holding a cup of water, muttering as he walked, "I wonder how Aliang is doing in the base. He must miss me a lot. When can we go back? I miss him, especially when it's late at night and my body is restless."

Jiang Zixuan held her forehead helplessly, "Stop talking."

Jingchen blinked his eyes, "Madam, don't have dirty thoughts in your mind. I just miss Aliang purely, there is no other intention."

His clear eyes twinkled innocently, and those enchanting amber peach eyes were full of the simple and cute innocence of being ignorant of the world.

I have to say that Jingchen really has a handsome and gentle face, but his well-dressed body contains a vulgar and silly soul.

If he had just disguised himself, who knows how many ignorant boys and girls he could have deceived.

Jiang Zixuan looked around but didn't see any trace of Jin Mohan.

"Where's my husband?"

Jiang Zixuan had just asked about Jin Mohan's whereabouts when Jin Mohan came back from outside and asked, "Are you bored?"

Jiang Zixuan knew he was up to something as soon as she heard it. "Although it's boring, you don't want us to go out and play in this kind of weather, do you?"

Jin Mohan sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

"Qiuli said there is a primeval forest in the east, which is rich in mineral resources."

Jingchen reacted immediately, "Boss, do you want to go looking for minerals?"

Jin Mohan didn't answer directly, but only asked, "Go?"

"Let's go." Jingchen was the first to respond, "The forest is always cooler than the guesthouse."

Zhou Xiaolai pulled at Lengmo's trouser legs and asked miserably, "I don't want to go, but Brother Lengmo, will you go?"

"Go." Leng Mo of course followed Jin Mohan's steps without hesitation.

Zhou Xiaolai's face suddenly fell and he kept wailing.

Of course, she would rather stay in the guesthouse and laze around than go to the forest to dig for oil.

But once Leng Mo left, she would have no natural fan to use. After all, the air-conditioned car would definitely be driven away by Jiang Zixuan.

In the end, several people went out together without any suspense.

Because Jiang Zixuan needed to fill the water tower, they had to rush back before ten o'clock the day after tomorrow and could not go too far.

Jin Mohan still has the business ethics of timely delivery.

The car headed towards the forest in the east. On the way, Jiang Zixuan asked questions.

"Why did you suddenly think of going to the forest to mine for minerals?"

Jin Mohan played with her hair, "That forest is rich in mineral resources, but we don't have much oil."

There is very little oil resources left in Jiang Zixuan's space, and the mineral resources at the Leia base are not abundant either, so they need to be purchased from other bases.

Oil is becoming increasingly expensive these days, but it is indispensable, so we should get as much as we can.

Qiu Ming also agreed to let Jin Mohan go to the forest to mine, as long as they didn't alarm the zombie beasts and cause big trouble.

Jiang Zixuan hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Is it the forest where Shan Ge and Qiu Ge were attacked?"

"It shouldn't be," Jin Mohan took out the map Qiu Liren gave him, "The forest where Shan Changcheng died is on the west side, which is the forest we saw on the way here."

However, after the end of the world, humans no longer have the energy to cut down trees and destroy forests. Today, there are no strict boundaries between the major forests, and they are almost distributed in a continuous area.

Jiang Zixuan looked at the map carefully and noted the general direction.

In addition to them, there were many vehicles heading outside the base.

Among those people, there are official troops of the Unified Base, who go to the forest to collect resources or hunt zombies for corpse crystals.

There are also private organizations in the civilian world who, after working, will hunt for corpse crystals and exchange them for supplies with the base.

The unified base has a population of over two million, making it particularly difficult to manage.

Nowadays, even people with special abilities can be infected by high-level zombies. If someone who goes out is infected with the virus and is not detected, and then spreads it to the base, the consequences will be disastrous.

Every step you take is a thorn, every day you live is a gift.

Along the way, Jiang Zixuan and others saw many convoys, all heading to the same forest.

Most private cars are in tatters, and you have to rest three times for every step you take, so it’s probably faster to walk.

Some organizations are very generous and drive modified off-road vehicles, crossing mountains and hills with ease.

Ahead, several military green off-road vehicles were parked on the side of the road, and more than a dozen men in short vests were standing on the side of the road, laughing non-stop.

Jing Chen took a glance and said, "It's a private organization of the unified base - Tiger King. They are quite famous, ruthless and powerful. I heard that they have been watched by the authorities for a long time."

Jiang Zixuan asked in surprise, "You even know their details?"

Jingchen nodded proudly.

Jiang Zixuan gave him a thumbs up.

As expected of an intelligence officer, he has obtained information about the private organizations in the unified base so quickly.

He asked coldly and stiffly, "What's the point of mentioning them?"

Jingchen touched the back of his head. "It doesn't have any special meaning. They are just a small organization that does evil things. They have been suppressed by the authorities and dare not make big moves. But I don't know how much they have done since leaving the base."

Zhou Xiaolai asked in confusion, "What does that have to do with us?"

Everything is fine, why are you suddenly mentioning these people?

Jingchen whispered, "There is an old acquaintance in Tiger King, I wonder if you still remember him."

"Who?" Jiang Zixuan asked.

"Shan Da Gong, Old Shan's younger brother." Jing Chen explained.

Single palace?

It took Jiang Zixuan a while to remember that Dan Changcheng did have a younger brother, who was Shitou's father.

Shan Da Gong is the scum of the Shan family. In order to survive, he even murdered his own aunt and son.

Later, Shan Changcheng beat him up, and he basically cut off all ties with the Shan family.

This man is an ungrateful, extremely selfish beast, and no one takes him seriously.

If Jingchen hadn't suddenly mentioned it, everyone would have almost forgotten about him.

Jiang Zixuan looked towards Tiger King's group and saw Shan Dagong among the crowd.

He crouched timidly beside the wheel with a cautious, ingratiating smile on his face. Even when someone kicked him a few times with disdain, he just kept smiling and didn't dare to show any expression.

Back then, he said that he would rely on his own strength and climb higher at all costs, even if it meant using even the closest people as stepping stones.

Nowadays, he seems to be doing worse than Shan Zijun.

At least Shan Zijun can find a good job in the base, but in the eyes of Tiger King and his gang, he is probably not even as good as a plaything.

Jiang Zixuan withdrew her gaze and sighed.

It is really hard to guess what this person's future fate will be. Maybe he will fall into obscurity, or maybe he will suddenly become successful.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it is all in vain and there is no reward.

Jin Mohan didn't pay attention to what was happening with Tiger King and his gang. He just frowned and looked at the map.

This map was given by Qiu Liren, and it marks some places that may have rich mineral resources.

However, this map was drawn before the end of the world. After the end of the world, earthquakes occurred frequently, rivers changed direction, and vegetation became denser, causing the originally marked locations to shift.

Jin Mohan half-squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, but he couldn't match the marked route.

Jingchen also leaned over to look for a long time, and finally rubbed his eyes and said helplessly, "I now have reason to suspect that Xiao Qiuqiu is playing tricks on us."
