Shen Zhijie would never admit that he had just been chilled to the bone by Jiang Yaolang's grandmother's aunt-like smile.

Facing the look in Jiang Yao's eyes, Shen Zhijie shook his head slightly, took the water Jiang Yao handed him, and said, "Heh, what a joke. See who I've ever been afraid of."

Xiao Mu naturally took the water and began washing.

Jiang Yao was slightly taken aback by Xiao Mu's natural movements; they were just too natural!

Shen Zhijie pursed his lips when he saw Xiao Mu's actions and muttered something under his breath.

Ha, that's really natural!

You're going to keep showing off your relationship forever, aren't you!

Arriving at the most bustling area of ​​the DDC district, the surrounding buildings have collapsed, leaving only a few dilapidated structures standing. In contrast to these collapsed buildings, there is one intact building.

It's the one Xiao Mu pointed to on the map, the "Seed Cultivation Base".

Shen Zhijie looked at the signboard at the shop entrance, walked to Xiao Mu's side, and gave Xiao Mu a resentful look, "You're just taking advantage of me, aren't you!"

"You can't do this."

No wonder I felt something was wrong back then; it turns out someone was eyeing my shop.

What a blunder! What a blunder!

Jiang Yao didn't care about any of that; these things were all hers now.

Seeing Jiang Yao's skillful unlocking movements, Shen Zhijie stopped worrying about the shop and stepped forward to help unlock it.

With the seed mission completed, Jiang Yao took out a quick hot pot. Shen Zhijie felt they should celebrate, since they would be returning to Haizhou soon. Xiao Mu, on the other hand, took out a map to check the route ahead.

The three of them walked along the main road in the city center for nearly two hours until they reached the outer ring road, from where they could drive.

When the three of them left the main urban area of ​​DDC District, Jiang Yao took the jeep out of her space again. The group sat quietly on the road, with only Shen Zhijie occasionally saying a few words.

Xiao Mu noticed Jiang Yao's quietness throughout the journey; their next destination was Haizhou.

...

Zhang Qingfeng followed Cui Cheng and the others all the way to the military base, observing it closely and waiting for the best opportunity.

As the migrating convoy departed, a flash of coldness crossed Zhang Fengqing's eyes.

Shen Yu suddenly looked out the window, as if something was spying on the convoy. Seeing this, Nuoyi stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, is something wrong?"

Shen Yu looked into Nuoyi's eyes and slowly said, "While everyone is resting tonight, let's return to Haizhou according to the route we discussed last night."

"As for who to take with you, that's up to you!"

After all, manpower is still needed when encountering road collapses or experimental subjects.

After hearing Shen Yu's words, Nuo Yi looked at Nuo Fan, who was driving in front. Their eyes met in the rearview mirror, and neither of them spoke.

During the break, Nuoyi wandered back and forth in his team. Huang Zhihong saw Nuoyi's actions but did not react.

At night, to facilitate his movements, Novan parked his car at a fork in the road, so that even if he were attacked or secretly escaped at night, no one would notice, except for the car behind him.

After noticing Nuoyi's actions, Huang Zhihong followed behind Shen Yu's car the whole way.

It got dark quickly, and everyone, exhausted from the journey, ate a simple dinner and went to sleep soon after.

After checking everything, Nuo got out of the car and returned to Nuofan, saying, "We can set off now."

The car drove away without its lights on, illuminated by the moon and stars. Huang Zhihong hadn't closed his eyes the entire time, because he was afraid that if he fell asleep, Shen Yu's car would be gone when he opened his eyes again.

When Liang Wanquan, Yang Zhenming, Tong Dazhi, and others learned that Shen Yu's convoy had disappeared in the morning, they were angry but helpless.

By the time Jiang Sheng discovered Huang Zhihong's car was missing, it was already too late.

Jiang Sheng complained to Jiang Xue inside the car, "If you weren't afraid of the sun, we wouldn't have gotten separated from that fox Huang Zhihong."

Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Sheng with disdain, "Why don't you say it's because you always want to stand out and always try to be one step ahead of your uncle? Your uncle wouldn't have abandoned us."

You should look for the reason within yourself!

Jiang Sheng now deeply regrets not letting the girl starve to death back then. Ha, all those good days were for nothing, and in the end, he only suffered.

Suddenly, a panicked commotion arose ahead, and soon people came running. Jiang Sheng got out of the car and blocked one of their paths, asking, "What happened? Why are you running back?"

The person Jiang Sheng stopped was the same person Sang You had stopped during the earthquake a few days ago. "Run!"

"There are lots of monsters eating people up ahead!"

Just as Jiang Sheng was about to ask another question, an experimental subject suddenly appeared behind him. Before Jiang Xue could warn him, the experimental subject ripped a bloody hole through the chest of both Jiang Sheng and the man.

Jiang Sheng looked at his chest, then turned to look at Jiang Xue inside the car. He still couldn't bear to part with his child.

The moment Jiang Sheng collapsed, Jiang Xue suffered a complete mental breakdown, and all her closest relatives left her.

Soon, the convoy was completely torn apart by Zhang Fengqing's attack, with limbs and corpses scattered everywhere.

Zhang Fengqing was very satisfied with his masterpiece, especially when Cui Cheng and the others died at his hands, his hatred did not lessen.

Even if he got his revenge, he would have paid a price for it.

As dawn broke, Shen Yu suddenly said to Nuoyi, "Try not to stop along the way."

Shen Yu looked in the direction they left, where a flock of ravens were circling in the sky. It seemed that quite a few people had died there!

Nuoyi and Nuofan felt a chill run down their spines at the sight. If Shen Yu hadn't led them away, they wouldn't have escaped this calamity.
