Chapter 414: Reversion to Primitive Man

Li Yu'e's meteorite radiation theory has some truth to it, but Xia Xiaoman doesn't quite agree with it.

There is such a large meteorite at the entrance of the underground city. The authorities send people to measure the size of the meteorite and the minerals it contains from time to time. If there is really a problem with the meteorite, the authorities will definitely discover the problem at the first time.

Don't say that the authorities deliberately concealed this news in order to hide the benefits of the meteorite. There are so many meteorites nearby that the authorities can't hide it even if they want to.

Xia Xiaoman said, "Maybe it wasn't the meteorite, but something else that caused the survivors to become so powerful. If we can find out why the survivors outside have become stronger, maybe we can have a better chance of winning in future natural disasters."

Li Yu'e said: "The authorities should have already been investigating. They are more nervous about this than we are."

Xia Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. If anyone was to be the most well-informed person, it would definitely be Jiang Yue. It had been a while since she had talked to Jiang Yue.

After leaving Li Yu'e, Xia Xiaoman went home and cooked a quick dish. After eating and drinking, she took Maodan to visit Jiang Yue's home.

The issue of the nanochip has been resolved. Jiang Yue no longer needs to hide her identity, and Xia Xiaoman can go to her house openly.

After ringing the doorbell and waiting for a while, the door opened from the inside. Seeing the person who opened the door, Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "Qiao Wan? Why are you here? Where is Jiang Yue?"

"Jiang Yue is taking a shower. I just came back from a mission and wanted to chat with Jiang Yue for a while."

When Xia Xiaoman heard Qiao Wan's words, she looked her up and down, "Did you have a falling out with the capital?"

Qiao Wan blinked, "What do you mean by falling out? I don't understand what you are saying."

Xia Xiaoman sneered. "Still pretending. If there was no falling out, why would you use the word 'come back'? If I remember correctly, the capital asked you to be in charge of the transportation of materials to the south, not the transportation of materials to the floating city. If you wanted to go back, you would go back to the capital, why would you go back to our floating city?"

Qiao Wan rolled her eyes and said, "You are too sensitive! You can find flaws in just a casual remark." As she said that, she moved aside to let Xia Xiaoman and Maodan in.

Maodan entered the house, looked around, and seeing that there was no danger, he lay down at Xia Xiaoman's feet.

Xia Xiaoman stroked Maodan's head and said, "You haven't answered my question yet. Did you have a falling out with the capital?"

Qiao Wan nodded, "Yes! The capital found that there was a problem with my chip and wanted to re-inject it into me. When I found something was wrong, I ran away immediately."

Most of the people she knew were in the capital, and in that situation, she would be waiting to die if she stayed in the capital. If she went to other places, she would be unfamiliar with the place, and if someone reported her or cheated her of the space jade, she would lose her last guarantee.

After much deliberation, Qiao Wan decided to come to Fucheng, where there was Doctor Hu who showed her kindness, her sister's friend Xia Xiaoman, and Jiang Yue who tried to save her life and help her solve the chip problem.

Compared to the strange city, the floating city is safer for her.

"When did you come to Floating City? Why didn't I hear Jiang Yue mention you?" Xia Xiaoman asked.

"I don't remember. I sneaked into Yancheng's caravan. Some time ago, I heard that Yancheng was going to transport a wolf here, so I tried to sneak into the caravan."

The process of blending into the convoy was smooth, and the process of entering Xinfu City was also smooth. Just when she thought she could easily stay in Xinfu City, she was found to have an abnormal identity and was locked in an isolation room for three days.

三天后，有个满脸麻子的男人保释她，条件是让她当麻子脸的情人。乔婉激动之下，把麻子脸揍成了猪，于是乔婉喜提劳改三年半。

Qiao Wan cleaned the manure pit for half a month before she successfully contacted Jiang Yue and was fished out of the pit by Jiang Yue.

"On the day Jiang Yue rescued me, Yu Jie came to my house and arranged for me to go out to work. I just came back this afternoon."

The corners of Xia Xiaoman's mouth twitched. She didn't know whether to say Qiao Wan's luck was good or bad. She felt that she could compete with Xiao Zheyu.

"You just said that after Jiang Yue rescued you, Mayor Yu arranged for you to work outside?"

Qiao Wan nodded, "Yes! They threw me out before I could even finish my meal. I'm starting to doubt whether my decision to come to Floating City was a wise one."

"Are you the one who was robbed by the survivors some time ago?" Xia Xiaoman asked.

Qiao Wan frowned. "When I went out, there were survivors who stopped the car, but I was not robbed. Before those survivors rushed over, they were forced back by the bodyguards who were protecting me with guns."

"But when I came back, I met a group of survivors. They... felt a little weird. I couldn't tell what was wrong, but they just seemed a little abnormal."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoman said, "Are those people very strong and fast?"

Qiao Wan nodded, "Yes, they are incredibly strong. They can easily lift a stone half a person's height and throw it at our car. Even a master weightlifter may not be as strong as them. They are also very fast. We almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but we still couldn't get rid of those survivors."

"But when I say weird, I don't mean these. I mean they look a little strange. They look a little bit similar, a little bit similar..."

"It's a bit like a primitive man who has regressed to his ancestors." Jiang Yue said while wiping his hair.

Qiao Wan was excited when she heard this, "Yes, yes, yes. He looks like a primitive man who has regressed to his ancestors, with a protruding jaw, abundant hair, a sturdy body, and limbs that are slightly longer than those of ordinary people."

She was used to seeing unkempt survivors of natural disasters, and when she saw primitive people who had regressed to their ancestors, she couldn't recognize them at first. After Jiang Yue reminded her, she knew why she thought those survivors outside were weird.

"Jiang Yue, how do you know that those survivors look like primitive people who have regressed to their ancestors? Have you seen them?"

Jiang Yue sat in front of the computer and typed on the keyboard. After a while, a video was played on the computer screen. The video content was exactly the incident that Li Yu'e's co-worker had mentioned, in which the survivor stopped a car and killed someone.

"I saw this footage through the surveillance camera a few days ago. At the time, I was just a little curious as to why these survivors were so brave as to stop a car with their bare hands. Then the more I watched, the more I felt something was wrong, so I investigated further."

"Have you found out what the problem is?" Xia Xiaoman asked.

Jiang Yue shook her head. "Nothing was found."

If these survivors lived in the underground city, she would be able to find out something. But they lived outside, and if they didn't go in front of the surveillance camera, she couldn't even find out what they looked like. If she wanted to find out the information of these survivors, she had to take the risk of going out to explore.

"I have reported this to Mayor Yu, who sent people out two days ago to investigate the cause of the survivors' return to their ancestral home. If all goes well, we should be able to get news in about three days."
