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 379 Alien Nest
Although there is no time limit for this level six mission, Qiao Yu and his companions still walked in a hurry.
Mainly to avoid unnecessary visits.
However, before leaving, Qiao Yu still made detailed arrangements.
Qiao Yu took out five jade seeds from Yu Qingchuan's body and left only one to be used for message delivery.
Anyway, the crisis at the base has been resolved now. Based on Qiao Yu's understanding of Han Ming, he will definitely not launch an attack rashly again after suffering such a huge loss this time.
Therefore, there is no need to leave too many jade seeds with Yu Qingchuan.
The affairs of the shop were still handed over to Ding Baian and the others. Ding Baian also had a jade seed of Qiao Yu in his body, so even if they needed help with something, Qiao Yu would know it immediately.
Qiao Yu also went to say hello to Xiang Heng and Yan Zijin.
Xiang Heng and the others were fine, but Yan Zijin expressed slight dissatisfaction.
"Captain Qiao, didn't you say you owed me a favor?" Yan Zijin pursed her lips, "You're not going to default on your debt, are you?"
“…” Qiao Yu choked.
If Yan Zijin hadn't mentioned it, she would have really forgotten about it.
"How could that be?" Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly. "How could we be so untrustworthy?"
"Isn't Qingchuan still at the base? Captain Yan, if you need our help, you can always go to the research institute to find Yu Qingchuan."
Yan Zijin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then finally nodded, "Okay, then I wish Captain Qiao a safe journey."
After Qiao Yu arranged everything, he left the base late that night.
By the time Xie Ping'an, Mu Guan and Feng Xing received the news the next day, Qiao Yu and his companions had already disappeared without a trace.
After leaving the base, Qiao Yu and his companions did not rush to find the alien species' nest. Instead, they leisurely went to Gu Nanyu's place.
"Sister Qiao! Sister Luo!"
The sisters Mu Yan and Mu Yuan, who had not seen each other for a long time, came over happily when they saw Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen.
They chirped around the two of them like little sparrows, their happiness beyond words.
Qiao Yu looked at the two little ones carefully. "Yanyan has grown taller... Yuanyuan... seems to have gained a little weight?"
Mu Yan grinned, "Sister Qiao has a good eye. Yuanyuan has been eating and drinking sweets every day recently, and she has indeed gained a lot of weight!"
"Sugar?" Luo Zhenzhen widened her eyes slightly.
"Yeah." Mu Yuan nodded. "Uncle Gu and Sister Chen brought back so many of them! So sweet!"
As soon as Mu Yuan finished speaking, Mu Yan frowned slightly and reminded in a low voice: "Yuanyuan, have you forgotten again? It's not Uncle Gu, it's Brother Gu!"
"Hmm." Hearing this, Mu Yuan covered her mouth with her small hands and nodded, "Yes, it's Brother Gu! Yuanyuan was wrong."
Cheng Sinian, who was standing by, twitched his lips slightly and raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Gu...Brother? Did he let you call him that?"
"Yeah!" Mu Yan nodded seriously, "Brother Gu said that he is not very old, and calling him uncle would seem too distant, so he asked us to call him brother."
The corner of Cheng Sinian's mouth twitched again.
What's too unfamiliar?
Gu Nanyu is such a shameless guy! He's old, yet he still deceives an ignorant little girl!
Cheng Sinian's eyes flickered slightly, "Yanyan, Yuanyuan, don't listen to Gu Nanyu, he's just teasing you. Actually, calling you uncle is closer!"
"Next time you won't have to..."
"No need for anything, Doctor Cheng?"
Before Cheng Sinian could finish his words, he heard Gu Nanyu's sinister voice.
Cheng Sinian was startled and his slightly bent body straightened up in an instant, but he forgot that he was still standing on the steps. When he stood up, his head hit the door frame with a bang.
"ah--"
Cheng Sinian covered his forehead and growled in pain.
Damn it! He knew that every time he ran into Gu Nanyu's mold-absorbing physique, nothing good would happen!
I don’t know how these people under Gu Nanyu are still alive!
However, Cheng Sinian could only complain silently in his heart. He was already unlucky that he didn't offend Gu Nanyu. What if he offended him again, and Gu Nanyu got angry and cast some spell on him, would he still have a way to survive?
"Oh, I'm just trying to strengthen Yanyan and Yuanyuan's memory!" Cheng Sinian smiled, "Yanyan, Yuanyuan, remember to call me Brother Gu from now on. Don't call me the wrong one again..."
Mu Yan and Mu Yuan blinked. Huh? He just...didn't seem to say that?
"Hmph!" Gu Nanyu snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing more.
"Let's go." Gu Nanyu walked to Jiang Zhan and patted his shoulder gently, "Let's go to my room."
"Where is Sister Chen?" Qiao Yu followed Gu Nanyu and looked around, but she still couldn't see Chen Wanning.
"Oh, Wan Ning just came back from outside yesterday. She's a little tired. I guess she hasn't gotten up yet."
Wan Ning?
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan looked at each other, and suddenly a raging fire of gossip ignited in their eyes.
How come it's only been a short while? Why is he calling me so affectionately?
"Why did you come here suddenly? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Gu Nanyu brought Qiao Yu and others into the house, poured them some water, and asked casually.
"No." Jiang Zhan shook his head. "Cheng Sinian and the others have revealed their special abilities, and it's getting boring staying in the base. Ayu wanted to go out for a walk."
Gu Nanyu raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you are talking about the attack on the base before?"
Qiao Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, "How did you know?"
Gu Nanyu is quite far away from the base, and this incident just happened not long ago. The speed of news transmission after the end of the world is usually very slow. Does Gu Nanyu have any special channels to obtain information?
Perhaps the doubt on Qiao Yu's face was too obvious, so Gu Nanyu chuckled and said, "Don't think too much. I don't have any special abilities. I just made a guess based on the movements on the mountain to the north."
"On the mountain to the north?" Cheng Sinian frowned slightly. "What's going on?"
"Alien species." Gu Nanyu shrugged. "I don't know why, but the number of alien species on that mountain in the north is much greater than in other places. We usually strengthen our defenses mainly to prevent the alien species over there."
"Strangely enough, even though there are many of them, the number of alien species coming down the mountain isn't that large. Otherwise, we might have been unable to hold on long ago."
"The day your base was attacked, they made a lot of noise. There were so many alien species coming down the mountain. As soon as our reconnaissance officer discovered them, he reported them directly to me."
"At the time, we thought they were coming for us, but later we realized they were heading in the wrong direction. They were heading towards the base."
Gu Nanyu said it calmly, but Qiao Yu and the others widened their eyes slightly when they heard it.
Listening to Gu Nanyu's description... could it be... that there is an alien nest on the mountain north of Gu Nanyu's factory?
