Jiang Yuan looked at the woman who promised to do her best to provide food with a complicated expression.

Food must be in short supply in the slums. You know, there were quite a few people watching them just now. Almost every one of them looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they were not getting enough nutrition.

Their group has grown from 200 people at the beginning to 400 people now, and the woman said that she would provide them with food. Jiang Yuan believed that since the woman dared to say so, she would be able to do it.

Like Jiang Yuan, Ji Rong and He Chuan noticed the unreasonableness of this. They frowned, glanced at the woman's back, then looked down at the food in their hands, struggling over whether to continue eating.

However, the tourists around had already eaten all the expired food they were given, and nothing went wrong.

…

"There must be something wrong with this woman," He Chuan glanced at his fellow federals who were already sleeping, and continued in a low voice, "But they don't seem to have any ill intentions."

“Well,” Jiang Yuan glanced outside the room. It was already completely dark. The generators had been turned off. There was an old-fashioned storage lamp in the room. A-Ka, Alice, Enwei, and Nina had all gone back to their rooms to sleep. “But we can’t let our guard down yet.”

"How about this, the three of us will take turns to keep watch and keep an eye on the situation at all times." He Chuan said.

Jiang Yuan took over the conversation and said, "Okay, instructor, go to sleep first. You've been tired all day. I'll call you later."

He Chuan hesitated for a moment, but he was indeed too tired today. He felt sleepy and nodded immediately, saying, "Okay, I'll go to sleep first. You can call me later."

After He Chuan finished speaking, he sat on the ground with his back against the wall. Soon his breathing became steady and he had obviously fallen asleep.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong sat together, shoulder to shoulder.

Jiang Yuan looked at the tired He Chuan and felt a little guilty. If he hadn't delayed them going to the hospital, the three of them should not be here. Instead, they should have taken the Dark Night Princess and launched into outer space to wait for the end of the war instead of taking risks here.

Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking, a hand suddenly pressed on his head, pressing his head directly onto a strong shoulder, "Lean on me and sleep."

Jiang Yuan rested his head on Ji Rong's shoulder and smelled the faint scent of pheromones on Ji Rong. A sense of satisfaction suddenly arose in his heart, and most of his fatigue was swept away.

This smell is so good and addictive. I really want to hide Ji Rong and smell it every day.

When Jiang Yuan thought of this, he shuddered all over and tried hard to get rid of the bad thoughts in his mind. At the same time, he lamented that pheromone addiction was really terrible.

Ji Rong felt Jiang Yuan shivering all over, and tentatively stretched out a hand to hold Jiang Yuan's shoulders. He looked straight ahead and said, "Is it a bit cold? I'll hold you, come closer."

Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Ji Rong and said to himself: I'm not cold, it's just that the pheromones on your body are too attractive.

Jiang Yuan was reluctant to push Ji Rong's hand away. It felt very comfortable to be surrounded by the pheromones of Ji Rong!

Ji Rong looked straight ahead, actually because he was nervous, there was a thin layer of sweat on his palms.

Will his hands be opened?

Ji Rong pondered in his mind.

Jiang Yuan leaned on Ji Rong's shoulder: "Then I'll go to sleep first, you call me later."

Ji Rong: "Okay."

Jiang Yuan fell asleep, leaving Ji Rong alone with his ears slightly red.

…

"What happened? Why didn't he get on the spaceship?"

"Haven't contacted you yet?"

"Who else is in Beimali besides him? You won't leave him alone in Beimali, right?"

"Not alone. There was another student besides him, and an officer with them."

"Okay, I don't care about your arrangements. I demand that you rescue him as soon as possible! I don't care about the others, but you must rescue him for me!"

The old man slammed the table and said urgently, "No matter what method you use, nothing can happen to him! Do you know how important he is? With some time, he can definitely develop a mecha with better performance! This kid's talent far exceeds mine!

"Really? We shouldn't have let this kid participate in the mecha competition in the first place! If he hadn't gone, none of this would have happened!"

Alfonso, as the marshal, was bombarded with a barrage of criticism from Xu Chen. He lost his temper and didn't say a word.

Alfonso was not afraid of Xu Chen, but seeing Xu Chen's excited look, he had no doubt that Xu Chen would have a high blood pressure attack soon.

He didn't dare to take on this responsibility, as Xu Chen was a national treasure-level scientist of the Federation.

"Okay, okay, don't be so excited, it's not good for your health," Alfonso said to calm Xu Chen, "The Federation has ordered the Fearless Pioneer to go to northern Mali to rescue all the UN citizens."

"I know this. I don't care about anything else. I just want to remind you that you must give priority to rescuing Jiang Yuan. Don't let the country lose an outstanding scientist because of a wrong decision!" Xu Chen's voice rose several degrees and emphasized.

Alfonso saw Xu Chen's beard trembling with excitement. He knew it would be difficult to calm Xu Chen down at this time. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have tried my best to order the federal troops to rescue as quickly as possible. In addition to the peacekeeping force Fearless Pioneer, Ji Chong also led a team to rush to northern Mali. Old Xu, calm down first."

"Ji Chong leads the rescue team?" Xu Chen was obviously stunned when he heard Ji Chong's name. As the God of War of the Federation, Xu Chen felt a little relieved when he heard the news that Ji Chong was going to rescue.

Alfonso nodded.

Isn't it? Not only Ji Chong, but also Hoyt's Royal Guards and the Iron-blooded Emperor, their goal is to rescue Ji Rong, but Ji Rong and Jiang Yuan are conjoined twins, so rescuing Ji Rong is equivalent to rescuing Jiang Yuan!

"That's more like it." Xu Chen said with a gloomy face and hung up the phone.

Alfonso, who had the call hung up on, looked helpless. He had no way to deal with Xu Chen.

It is not difficult to understand why Xu Chen is so nervous. Xu Chen has only accepted a few students in his life. Jiang Yuan is obviously to his liking. It can be seen from the fact that he even arranged a single room for Jiang Yuan. Now Xu Chen is like an old father, worrying about his youngest student.

But Alfonso scoffed at Xu Chen's comment that Jiang Yuan's talent in designing mechas surpassed his own.

In fact, Xu Chen really didn't need to lie to him. Even if Jiang Yuan's talent in designing mechas was not high, he could see his talent in driving mechas. He also didn't want a mecha genius like Jiang Yuan to die in a war in a foreign country, so he would do his best to rescue him no matter what.

This Xu Chen dares to say anything just for Jiang Yuan, his new student.

Jiang Yuan's mecha operating skills are among the best even in the military. If his talent in designing mechas can surpass Xu Chen, then how can other people survive?

…

"Hey! Why didn't you call me yesterday?" He Chuan ate the bread he had just received and whispered to Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong beside him.

"It's none of my business, and he didn't call me." Jiang Yuan pointed at Ji Rong, who looked a little tired after not sleeping all night, and said to He Chuan.

Jiang Yuan was eating and asked Ji Rong, "Was there anything unusual last night?"

Ji Rong looked up at Jiang Yuan and shook his head: "No, Alice and the man named Aka have not come out since nightfall."

Jiang Yuan muttered, "Strange."

This morning's food was still expired bread, but the date was fresher than yesterday's, only seven or eight days had passed, and it tasted okay.

"After we get out, let's walk around the factory to see if there's anything unusual." He Chuan finished his food in a few gulps and said, "But from what I can see right now, this woman has no ill intentions towards us."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan nodded.

After breakfast, the people who had fled here with them left the room in twos and threes to breathe fresh air in the yard inside the factory. Of course, the air in the slums was not necessarily fresh, but there was a real stench.

When everyone saw Jiang Yuan and the other two, they greeted them warmly.

"You guys came out, thank you so much for yesterday!"

"That's right, thank you two guys, you are awesome, I know you guys! I've watched the game!"

“…”

After greeting everyone, the three of them walked around the factory until they came to a warehouse with its door closed. After looking around, they didn't find anything special and were about to leave when Ji Rong suddenly stopped and picked up something from the ground.

"What is it?" Jiang Yuan saw this, turned to look at Ji Rong and asked.

Ji Rong spread out his palm, on which was placed a K891 bullet. K891 is a typical heavy machine gun. The use of guns is not prohibited in northern Mali, but heavy weapons like K891 are not carried on the body for self-protection.

"K891?" Jiang Yuan frowned, reached out and picked up the bullet in Ji Rong's hand and looked at it. "This bullet looks very new. It should have been dropped here not long ago. People in the slums don't have the money to buy this thing."

"Will these two suddenly come with a k891 and beat us all into a pulp?" He Chuan complained with a wry smile.

Just as He Chuan finished speaking, a man came over and looked at the three people. He raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the closed warehouse door, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Why are you here?"

It was the beta male that Envy called Uncle Aka.

"Can't you come here?" Jiang Yuan put the bullet in his hand into his bag without leaving a trace, looked at Aka and asked back.

A-Ka was silent for a moment before nodding his head and saying, “You are not from here, so you don’t know the situation. In the slums, you must not go to too remote places. People often suddenly disappear in the slums.”

"Missing?" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, people go missing here every year. Enwei’s father also suddenly disappeared a few years ago.” A-Ka looked serious, and it was obvious that he was not joking. “Don’t wander around. Pay attention to your own safety.”

After saying that, A-Ka took Jiang Yuan and the other two back to the yard in front of the factory.

"Do you think what he said is true or false?" Jiang Yuan touched his chin, looked at the back of the man who was leaving with interest, and asked the other two.

Ji Rong and He Chuan shook their heads. They couldn't confirm whether what the beta named Aka said was true or not, but they were sure that there was something wrong with this Aka.

When it was lunch time, Envy brought her sister Nina to distribute food to everyone. After distributing the food, Envy and Nina also sat next to everyone and ate with them.

"Enwei, where is your father? I've been here for so long but haven't seen him?" He Chuan asked casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aina, who was with the child, glared at He Chuan. This child obviously had no father, so why was he asking such a question!

Enwei became visibly upset when he heard this question: "Dad disappeared six years ago."

"Gone? How could it be gone?"

Enwei shook his head and said sadly, "I don't know. After Dad left that day, he never came back."

Nina was young, and it was obvious that her brother Enwei's words brought back bad memories. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she started crying...

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry!" Ina patted Nina's back gently and glared at He Chuan fiercely. Her eyes clearly said, 'Look at the good things you have done, and what kind of stupid questions are you asking'.

He Chuan touched his nose and looked at Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong while everyone was comforting the two crying children.

The two children behaved very naturally and didn't want to lie. Jiang Yuan found this believable, but how could a good person disappear without a trace?
