In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 127 Finding the Target
Qiao Yu, Jiang Zhan and Yu Qingchuan returned to the car and briefly summarized the cooperation they had just discussed with Ding Baian and others to Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen.
And tell them that they will set out early tomorrow morning to find the weapons.
"Do they know the location of those weapons?" Cheng Sinian asked vaguely after taking a bite of the bun.
"I don't know." Yu Qingchuan shook his head and continued, "They strayed into the alien species' lair because they got lost."
"..." Cheng Sinian paused chewing, his expression complicated as he asked, "Are you sure... they are a level 4 mercenary hunting team?"
How can someone get lost like this? Is this a scam?
Qiao Yu sneered sinisterly, "I'm not sure. Why don't you go and ask?"
"..." Cheng Sinian shrank his neck, "I'm just afraid that you'll be deceived..."
Humph, hindsight.
"Have you guys agreed on the profit ratio? How will it be divided?"
"It's settled." Yu Qingchuan nodded. "Twenty-eight."
"What? Er Ba?! Are you stupid? Qiao Yu, you agreed too?!"
Cheng Sinian's first reaction when he heard this was that Ding Baian and the others were asking for too much, and they actually dared to ask for 80% of the reward from them!
"..." Yu Qingchuan looked at Cheng Sinian as if he was a fool, "We have eight, they have two."
“…”
Cheng Sinian instantly became obedient, forcing a smile onto his lips. "Ha... I told you, Boss Qiao is so smart, he definitely won't be fooled!"
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes at him unhappily and didn't respond.
Seeing Cheng Sinian's frustration, Luo Zhenzhen sneered inwardly, but she still defended him. "Sister Qiao, then... what about the Lin family and those women? Should we team up with them?"
"Uh..." Qiao Yu was speechless for a moment.
Only then did she remember that she had not yet told the Lin family about the mercenary hunting team.
Qiao Yu touched his chin and said, "I don't plan to take them with me anymore. We agreed to just cooperate, there's no need for us to be tied to them forever. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian immediately gave Qiao Yu an extremely fawning smile, "You are the boss, you have the final say! Whatever the boss says is right! I listen to the boss!"
Qiao Yu looked at his flattering face and curled her lips in disgust.
Yu Qingchuan thought about it seriously, but soon agreed with Qiao Yu's opinion: "I agree. We have protected them all the way, and we can't protect them forever."
Although the abilities of Lin Yingjie and his companions are already among the best among ordinary enhancement-type mutants, they are obviously still not good enough in their team.
What's more, the Lin family has a large family of ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, those people are no different from burdens.
They can help them out of courtesy, but they have no obligation to team up with them or support them.
Luo Zhenzhen and Jiang Zhan didn't say anything, but it was obvious that they agreed with Yu Qingchuan's words.
Qiao Yu nodded, "Okay. After dinner, I'll go look for Lin Yingjie."
Jiang Zhan fed a mouthful of rice into Qiao Yu's mouth and said softly, "No need. Just let Cheng Sinian go."
Cheng Sinian, who was suddenly called out: "..."
OK.
Anyway, he is the one who offends people, right?
Although Cheng Sinian secretly complained several times in his heart, after dinner, he still very "actively" went to find Lin Yingjie.
But he didn't go there alone, he also "took advantage of the opportunity" to grab Yu Qingchuan.
Qiao Yu didn't ask about the specific process of the conversation, but the matter was settled anyway.
So the next morning, only Qiao Yu's small group and Ding Baian's mercenary hunting team set out to look for the weapons.
The Lin family and the women of Nanliu Village will rest there and continue their journey after they return.
Before setting off, Ding Baian gave Qiao Yu and the others a detailed introduction to the mission.
But after listening to it, several people were speechless.
Because there is nothing in the mission details, only a location clue.
——The arsenal southeast of the base.
"Just saying it's southeast of the base, isn't that too broad? Can you even call that a detailed introduction?"
Cheng Sinian watched Qiao Yu flipping through the atlas in his hand bit by bit, his brows furrowed.
"Don't panic." Qiao Yu was very calm. "There's another hint. The Arsenal."
"...Can this be considered a hint?"
Before the end of the world, the arsenal was an absolutely confidential location and it was impossible to mark it out on the map.
What's more, what they are looking for now is an "underground arsenal".
"Of course it counts!"
Qiao Yu had a calm expression on his face. He took a red pen and quickly circled an area on the map.
Arsenals are indeed highly confidential, but precisely because of this, the people who organize their construction have higher requirements for the environment in which they are located to a certain extent.
Generally speaking, it’s best to look for factories like this that are extremely secretive and dangerous in the deep mountains and forests!
And there are usually no other factories or farmland around it.
Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows and directed Yu Qingchuan to run in the direction of the area she drew on the map.
After running to the border, Qiao Yu took out guns and ammunition from the space, climbed onto the roof of the car and let Wang Zha smell it.
"Ace bomb." Qiao Yu patted its head gently, "Help me find a place with this smell!"
Wang Zha let out a short "woosh" sound, immediately turned around and jumped off the roof of the car, leading the way in front of the two cars while conducting a carpet search.
Last night, Qiao Yu sneaked out and completely healed Wang Zha's leg.
When Yu Qingchuan smelled the scent of jade vine in the middle of the night, he became suspicious.
When he saw Wang Zha jumping around in the morning, his guess was confirmed.
——There’s something wrong with that plant with a special smell!
Yu Qingchuan was so angry that his mouth was twisted.
Qiao Yu is a liar!
She even lied to him about some miracle cure... He really believed her!
Wang Zha did not disappoint Qiao Yu's expectations.
After nearly two hours of continuous searching, Wang Zha finally led everyone to find a factory that looked very ordinary.
Wang Zha didn't get close, but just stopped them from a distance. It lay slightly on the ground, making a low "woooo" sound.
——There is someone inside.
"Is it that simple?" Ding Baian and the others did not understand Wang Zha's warning. They just thought it was a report after completing the mission, and a hint of hesitation flashed in their eyes.
I always feel that things are going too smoothly, which makes me feel uneasy.
"Simple?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows, his expression becoming slightly serious. "This is just the beginning."
Before getting off the car, Jiang Zhan told them that there should be quite a few people here.
This arsenal is very large, and Jiang Zhan’s mental power cannot cover the entire factory.
But within the range he could detect, there were no less than a hundred people.
"There are people inside. We have to find a way to outsmart them."
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said to Ding Baian and the others, "You already know the location of the factory. Just wait here and we'll go in. Don't worry, the reward will be divided according to what we agreed upon."
