Chapter 296 Temporarily Ended

Yan Zijin is right, now is indeed the best time.

By the time Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue went in, the guards in the settlement had become so weak that they could almost be ignored.

Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue quickly dealt with the remaining guards before they could shout, and then sneaked all the way to the cell.

Time was running out, and Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue had no time to delay. They ran on the left and right as fast as they could, and violently opened the lock on the door of the iron house.

When those who were originally imprisoned saw this, they were stunned at first, and then they all rushed out of the cell.

The first few people who ran out were soon counterattacked by the enemy, and the two sides started fighting in an instant.

Because they ran in a hurry, the doors of some cells could not be opened successfully.

But Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue had no time to care about them at this time.

The fact that the two of them have achieved this step has already exceeded their plan. The rest depends on their own luck.

At this time, many guards had come to their senses and hurried back.

Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue ran all the way without looking back, not daring to delay for a moment.

Fortunately, during the previous attack, they blew all kinds of holes in the outer walls of this entire area.

So it is quite convenient to escape at this time.

There was no movement from the reservoir anymore. Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue bypassed the mercenaries and ran out of the dependent settlement, reuniting with Yan Zijin and the others at breakneck speed.

When Yu Qingchuan saw Yan Zijin bowing respectfully towards him and Hua Yue with a hint of admiration in his eyes, he realized that he knew what he was going to do.

That's right, with Yan Zijin's intelligence, it's not surprising that he guessed this. They didn't intend to hide it anyway.

"Researcher Yu, let's retreat now." Yan Zijin whispered.

Yu Qingchuan lowered his eyelashes and thought for a moment.

It was already dark, and there was no movement from the "reservoir." Although they didn't know what was happening with Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan yet, this was definitely the best time to retreat.

Yu Qingchuan looked at the increasing number of mercenaries around him and nodded, "Retreat!"

They have done their best.

--

Although Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen, Xiang Heng and others retreated first, due to distance issues, it was Yu Qingchuan's group that returned to the base first.

Everyone returned to the base in batches under the cover of night.

At this time, it was not known whether the higher-ups in the base were too late to look after them, or whether they had not yet suspected them. In any case, they entered the base very smoothly.

Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue went straight to Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu's room, and Yan Zijin also came to the four of them after settling the team members.

When Yan Zijin went in, Yu Qingchuan was reporting the progress of the operation to Qiao Yu.

A complex look flashed across Yan Zijin's eyes, but he said nothing. He just sat quietly and listened.

Although Yu Qingchuan's status and position in the G City Research Institute is not as highly respected as Professor Kang and Professor Shen, he is also one of the top young talents and outstanding people.

How could such a person be willing to be inferior to Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu?

This made Yan Zijin even more interested in Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu.

When Yu Qingchuan mentioned that he and Hua Yue had risked their lives to release all the prisoners in the prison, Qiao Yu couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.

"Well done." Qiao Yu couldn't help but praise.

This action was inherently very risky, and Qiao Yu had never thought of letting them do it.

But obviously, Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue have now exceeded their tasks.

Now we are waiting for news from Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen and Xiang Heng.

Speak of the devil and he will appear.

Just as Qiao Yu was thinking of these three people, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Zhan stood up and opened the door, and it was indeed Cheng Sinian and the other two.

"Is everything going well?" Qiao Yu asked immediately after the three of them entered and sat down.

Cheng Sinian took a deep breath and saw that there was mineral water on the table next to him. He took it without thinking and first fed Luo Zhenzhen two sips. Then he gulped down the remaining half bottle of water.

Qiao Yu invited him to drink water so urgently that he suddenly remembered that he had not given the other people time to drink water yet.

So he stood up, and under the cover of his backpack, pretended to take out mineral water from his backpack and distributed a bottle to everyone present.

Cheng Sinian finally breathed a sigh of relief after drinking the water, then looked up and said to Qiao Yu, "It went quite smoothly. It's a pity that we couldn't get rid of all the mutant flowers."

"How much is left?"

“There are only a dozen or so left.”

"Only a dozen or so are left?" Qiao Yu looked slightly surprised. "That's already pretty good. You've done an excellent job!"

Both groups of people today really gave her some surprises!

"What about you? How is the progress?" Cheng Sinian asked Qiao Yu again.

Because Yan Zijin was there, Cheng Sinian didn't dare ask too many details.

After all, Yan Zijin still doesn't know what they are going to do.

"It's okay." Qiao Yu nodded, but Cheng Sinian still caught the hint of hesitation on his face.

It seems... things are not going well for them.

However, Cheng Sinian didn't say it directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Should we go back and have a shower and go to bed now?"

"The base will definitely investigate us later, so we have to be extremely vigilant."

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded. "Everyone has worked hard today. If there is nothing urgent, go back and rest first."

"We'll probably be investigated tomorrow. Don't panic, everyone. As long as we firmly declare that we didn't do these things, they won't dare to do anything to us."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zijin and Xiang Heng looked at each other, nodded, and then stood up to say goodbye.

Cheng Sinian, Luo Zhenzhen, Yu Qingchuan, and Hua Yue did not leave for the time being. After watching Yan Zijin and Xiang Heng leave the room, Cheng Sinian spoke again, "Did your mission encounter any obstacles?"

Although it was a question, the tone was firm.

"I guess so." Qiao Yu pursed her lips. "We've already been to the underground laboratory in the main building. It's indeed the sample library."

"But due to time constraints, we were unable to enter the annex building."

"Have you got all the books?"

"Nonsense." Qiao Yu rolled his eyes. "If we're not going to take samples, why are we going there?"

Cheng Sinian curled his lips, but ultimately did not dare to refute.

"We plan to wait until tomorrow to see if we can find an opportunity to go again." Qiao Yu continued.

"Still going?!" Cheng Sinian widened his eyes and was silent for a while before he sighed helplessly.

"It was already difficult this time. They will definitely be more vigilant tomorrow, so it will probably be even more difficult."
