Chapter 60

After filming was completed, Qiao also stayed at the original station for a few more days with Ji Feng.

The climate here is warm, with summer all year round. It is also a coastal area and an international trade hub, making it relatively prosperous and inclusive.

Joe observed that there were more stray Aborigines here than in the north, and they reproduced more. Every time he saw a mother nursing her baby naked in a corner, Joe felt a sense of disconnect.

He longed to do something for the original people, but given his status, it seemed he could do nothing.

Besides, even if he rescued the Primals, what difference would it make? There are Cohens here who are not rescued by Primals. Joe has also seen the rescue process: capturing homeless Primals and then forcibly sterilizing them to prevent more homeless Primals from being born.

Alternatively, find a reliable home for the homeless person.

As a primitive being, how can he, from his position, help the primitive people?

Are we supposed to expose the fact that he has a human soul, in order to fight for the original humans' right to be independent as human beings? To give the original humans the opportunity to work and support themselves? Isn't that ridiculous?

The original humans here have limited intelligence, and the best outcome is for them to find a good owner and exist as pets.

Qiao also looked at the wild, wandering primitives in the distance and pondered things that did not belong to the primitives.

Don't think about things you can't understand. Qiao also cleared her mind and felt the local customs and culture.

He saw a unique hat shop by the river and wanted to go take a look. Now, with his hat, sunglasses, and mask on, he was basically unrecognizable from the outside. At first glance, he looked like a slightly strange child.

He chose a hat, paid for it under the strange gaze of the waiter, and when he went out wearing the hat, the waiter followed him out and watched him walk away.

"Is that a child? They look just like a child."

"Yes, that's strange. They're not saying a word. Could there be something wrong?"

"At first I thought he was going to steal something. Why wasn't an adult with this child?"

The waiters whispered among themselves for a while, but Qiao didn't care.

Just as he was about to turn back, a black car suddenly stopped beside him, and then something black fell from the sky and enveloped him completely.

During Qiao Ye's struggle, he felt as if he had been thrown into a car and locked in a cage.

Damn! Could we have run into those human traffickers again?!

There were three people in the car: one was bald, another was thin and wore a big gold chain, and the third had a crooked mouth.

The man with the thick gold chain grabbed Qiao Ye by the neck, pinched his chin, examined his teeth, and said to the man with the crooked mouth, "Is it really necessary for the three of us to work together to capture a single original human?"

The bald man came over and touched Qiao Ye's hair, clicking his tongue and saying, "It's so shiny and smooth. This little Yuan man is so fair and tender. It would be delicious roasted!"

With a sneer, he said, "What do you know? This primitive man almost beat our young master to death. Tie him up tight, don't let anything go wrong. The young master told us to capture him and take him back to vent his anger."

Qiao was startled when he heard this. It turned out that the pervert from last time wanted to get revenge on him. He quickly sent messages to Ji Feng and Ji Fang, but they couldn't be sent. There was a signal jamming device in there.

No, is it really necessary? Just to catch his pet?

Qiao could only secretly turn on the recording device. Based on the chat information of the three people, this trio should be the lackeys and henchmen of that perverted Lu Xiangjun. They probably had done a lot of things like kidnapping others, so blocking information in the car was a common method.

Joe tried to stay quiet, pretending to be scared and curling up into a ball to lower their guard. The bald man even teased him with snacks.

The man with the big gold chain was puzzled: "Boss, this is General Ji Fang's former secretary. We arrested his former secretary, are we really okay?"

He sneered arrogantly, "Just because it's Ji Fang, our young master isn't going to hold a grudge against him personally, he's just arresting him to teach him a lesson! What kind of person is our young master? Can Ji Fang compare to our young master?"

The bald man chimed in, "Exactly! But this original man is really good-looking. What do you guys think? Does our young master want to go for something big?"

Looking at the lewd looks in their eyes, Qiao felt like he was going to have a terrible time. How could Lu Xiangjun be so perverted and disgusting? He should have kicked his evil tools to pieces last time!

He hoped Ji Feng would realize he was missing soon; he really didn't want to be with those three for even a second longer.

Joe also felt like he had been in the car for a long time, and the three of them were so bored that they went to sleep.

Considering that he couldn't take down three Cohens at the same time, Joe also gave up the idea of ​​attacking them.

The bald man had only tied a rope around his neck, and the rope even had a buckle. It seemed they didn't know his true skill level. He could untie the buckle and escape, but he only had one chance.

Joe also noticed from inside the car that they were going further and further off course, and then the flying car began to land on the road. Joe also heard the voice of the car's navigation system saying that this was a no-fly zone.

The place where they landed was densely wooded, and at first glance it looked like a secluded forest on the border. Then, in the distance, a villa estate with a tight walled compound and heavily guarded posts appeared in the forest.

Behind the villa is a large mountain, facing a large river. When the sun shines down, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the shimmering water from the top floor of the villa. It is truly a blessed place.

This villa is definitely the place they want to take him to.

Qiao also felt fear. He knew how badly he had beaten Lu Xiangjun last time and made Lu Xiangjun lose face in front of everyone.

As soon as he goes in, he'll probably see Lu Xiangjun's twisted eyes and might just skin him alive.

Qiao's heart was pounding. He couldn't send a message to Ji Fang now, hoping that Ji Fang would come to his rescue. He might have already been torn to pieces and put on the dinner table.

Calm down! You must stay calm!

As fear and anxiety rose within her, Joe also felt the urge to go to the toilet.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he began to struggle restlessly in the car, shouting anxiously at the three of them.

The bald man pulled the rope and yelled, "Shut up, what are you yelling about! We're almost there!"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Joe demonstrated by taking off his pet clothes pants. He couldn't hold back anymore and was about to go all out!

Wai Zui glanced at him, immediately stopped the car, and cursed, "Damn it, get him out of the car, don't put him in my car!"

Baldy immediately pulled Qiao down. The moment Baldy got out of the car, Qiao unbuckled the buckle around his neck. Before Baldy could turn around, Qiao slipped and rushed into the woods, running desperately in the opposite direction.

Joe ran as fast as he could. He heard the furious voices of the three men behind him and the rapid footsteps of those chasing after him. He weaved through the dense forest, feeling the vegetation cutting his arms and cheeks, causing a stinging pain.

He felt like his lungs were on fire, gasping for breath. He regretted not having done physical training. If he had escaped today, he would have trained with Chang Wei.

Although he lacked physical strength, he was agile, and the dense jungle provided him with cover. However, the three Cohen men behind him were taller and had a wider field of vision, and they kept chasing him relentlessly.

Unable to discern directions in the forest, the view suddenly opened up before him, and Joe knew he was in trouble. He had been forced to the riverbank, and the sounds behind him were getting closer; he had nowhere to go.

The river ahead was wide, with shimmering waves and constant undercurrents, so Qiao had no choice but to stop.

He saw a piece of dead wood in the woods, and without hesitation, he picked it up and held it in his arms. Then he tried to go into the water. Fortunately, the dead wood had some buoyancy and he could barely float.

The three people who caught up saw a man holding a log, slowly drifting downstream towards the center of the river.

The man with the big gold chain stared in disbelief, panting and supporting himself on his knees: "Holy crap, this Primal Man, no wonder he's General Ji's Primal Man, he can fly and swim!"

Baldy was also sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat from his brow and added, "I never thought it could unlock the chain. It's practically a spirit! Maybe it was just pretending to need to poop!"

Crooked Mouth was also breathing heavily. The three of them had actually let this Yuanren escape just when they were almost there. They were sure to get into trouble when they got back. He was annoyed to hear Baldy say this, so he kicked him and said, "We told you to keep an eye on him. He ran away as soon as we came down. When the young master gets angry, you'll have to go up and explain!"

The bald man complained, "This isn't my fault. You were the one who said you were going to take it down there to poop. How can you blame me?"

With a crooked mouth and spittle flying everywhere, he said, "You can't even pull a rope properly, whose fault is it if not yours?"

The three on the shore were venting their anger and shirking responsibility. Qiao had already drifted far away with the current. Now that he had a signal, he was temporarily out of danger of being pursued. He immediately contacted Ji Fang, sent him a distress signal, his location, the name of his enemy, and the recording he had just made.

Just as he finished speaking, a wave crashed over him, choking him on water. His hair was soaking wet and blurred his vision. Looking around, he couldn't see any boats or people on the wide river.

The water was cool, and Qiao felt himself losing temperature. He felt his whole body getting cold and numb, and his hands, which were holding the wood, had become stiff.

Joe was momentarily flustered and felt like crying. He wondered if he would be swept away by the undercurrent in the river at any moment, and whether he would return to Earth after he died.

The only person he could turn to for help now was Ji Fang, his master. He hoped that Ji Fang could find him soon. He looked at his terminal over and over again, hoping to get a response from Ji Fang immediately.

Suddenly, his wrist jerked. Ji Fang was video calling him. The moment he answered and saw Ji Fang, he broke down in tears, which mingled with the river of tears. He blurted out in Cohen's tongue, "How come you only saw this now? Where the hell have you been? I'm going to die! Waaah! That bastard is going to kill me! Come save me! Save me!"

Ji Fang was shocked for a moment when he saw Luo Shuiyuan speaking the Cohen language. He stood up from his chair and glanced at his communication device. It was indeed a call to Qiao Ye. The Luo Shuiyuan in the holographic communication device was indeed his Yuan, but now it was speaking.

During the meeting, when the commander suddenly stood up with a serious expression, all the subordinates looked over and wondered if something unusual had happened. Could it be that another beast tide had arrived?

Before Ji Fang could even say goodbye to the meeting, he immediately summoned the guards, took off his hat, and ordered the guards and the first company to assemble.

Seeing Qiao Ye's condition, Ji Fang said, "I'll be there right away. Keep the communication going, understand?"

Joe, like a child who has found his parents, was scared and aggrieved: "Okay, but I can't hold on anymore, I'm out of strength, I'm hungry and cold, waaaah, you have to hurry!"

Ji Fang stepped onto the mecha, and the moment the mental connection was established, he flew off with a "whoosh." Seeing their leader's speed, the guards and the First Company followed at their fastest speed.

Ji Fang comforted Qiao Ye and kept track of his location in real time: "You're not pretending anymore? Finally willing to talk? I'll catch you and bring you back later, and see how I beat you up!"

Qiao choked up, "Even after all this, you still hit me. Are you even my master...?"

Ji Fang increased his speed, pushing his mental energy to its limit: "I am naturally your master."

He saw that Joe had also shivered and was now pale, and he said:

"Hang in there, don't talk yet, conserve your energy. I'll be there in five minutes, don't be afraid, okay?"

"Just keep an eye on the time. Five minutes, and Master will definitely save you, okay?"

Qiao clung to the driftwood, bobbing up and down in the water. Once his emotions calmed down, he nodded and hummed in agreement.

Joe had never felt that five minutes could be so long.

Finally, at the fourth minute and forty-eight seconds, Joe saw a mech flying rapidly towards him on the horizon. It quickly approached the water's surface when it was a hundred meters away from him, and then, like a hand, it pulled him and the driftwood out of the water.

Ji Fang squatted down and moved the dead wood from Qiao Ye's hand. Then he took a dry towel and roughly dried Yuan Ren's hair and face. He then took off Yuan Ren's wet clothes and put his coat on him.

Qiao felt like he had come back to life and rushed over to hug Ji Fang's neck tightly. Ji Fang patted the original man's back to comfort him, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid."
