Chapter 382 Deciding to Go

"but……"

Qiao Yu's eyes slowly turned to Yan Zijin beside him, with a slight doubt, "You brought Captain Yan here too...?"

Yan Zijin pursed her lips and said before Yu Qingchuan could answer, "I asked Researcher Yu to bring me here."

"Captain Yan said he had something important to discuss with you in person. I happened to be in a hurry to come find you, so I brought him here as well." Yu Qingchuan added in a low voice.

Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Captain Yan, if you have something to say, just speak directly. We are all family here, there is nothing to be shy about."

Yan Zijin's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and then suddenly dropped a "blockbuster bomb".

——"I think I should know the whereabouts of Huayue and Xiang Heng."

"What?!" Yu Qingchuan stood up in a flash after hearing that.

"Achuan, don't be anxious."

Seeing this, Qiao Yu quickly grabbed Yu Qingchuan, then frowned slightly and looked at Yan Zijin, "Captain Yan, can you elaborate?"

She did not ignore that Yan Zijin just said "should know".

This means that what he is saying now is most likely just speculation.

Yan Zijin pursed his lips and said, "Captain Qiao, you know that besides the mercenary hunting team, I also have my own base outside the base."

"The depot I took you to before is actually just one of them. I also have several bases in other places."

"And on the day Hua Yue and Xiang Heng disappeared, one of my men happened to witness the entire process."

"I've asked him in detail. Based on his description, I can basically conclude that the person who took Hua Yue and Xiang Heng away is Han Ming from City B."

"What did you say?!" Qiao Yu's eyes widened instantly, but reason reminded her not to make rash judgments. "Have you seen Han Ming? How can you be sure that it is Han Ming?"

Yan Zijin saw Qiao Yu's emotions clearly losing control for a moment, and a trace of thought flashed across his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply answered truthfully, "I've taken on military missions before and have been to City B. I've had contact with Han Ming before, so based on the descriptions of my men, I can confirm that it must be Han Ming."

Qiao Yu didn't rush to answer after hearing this. Instead, he took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. He looked at Yan Zijin steadily and said, "Captain Yan, tell me, what do you want us to do for you?"

Yan Zijin went to great lengths to follow Yu Qingchuan here, it was absolutely impossible that she did so just to tell them the news.

He must have something else to ask for.

Sure enough, after hearing what Qiao Yu said, Yan Zijin smiled slightly, "Captain Qiao is wise."

"Actually, the main reason I came here this time was to discuss a cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?" Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"That's right." Yan Zijin nodded. "I know the exact location of Hua Yue and Xiang Heng, and coincidentally, I also need to enter that place. So, I hope to cooperate with you."

Qiao Yu pursed his lips and did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking.

Seeing that Qiao Yu remained silent, Yan Zijin continued to persuade him, "Captain Qiao, I know you're all powerful naturalists with many useful people around you... But I'm not afraid to tell you, that place is not easy to find. It took me a lot of effort to find it."

"Given Huayue's current condition, are you sure she can wait?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu looked at Jiang Zhan, then closed his eyes slightly.

She had to admit again that Yan Zijin was indeed very smart.

"When can we leave?"

"It can be done tomorrow," Yan Zijin said, looking at Yu Qingchuan who was about to speak. "Researcher Yu, I know you're anxious, but please believe me, I'm just as anxious as you."

"But there's no point in being anxious about this matter. That place is extremely dangerous, and we must be fully prepared before entering. So, please be patient tonight."

"Captain Yan, may I ask, what exactly is this 'that place' you're talking about?"

Yan Zijin lowered his eyelashes and remained silent for a few seconds. Then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Yu seriously, "Alien nest."

--

"What? You're going to the Alien Nest tomorrow?!"

Gu Nanyu and Chen Wanning, who had just returned to the factory from outside, didn't even have time to rest before they were called over by Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu. As soon as they arrived, they heard this "breaking news".

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Jiang Zhan nodded, took Qiao Yu's hand and rubbed it gently, "Ayu has decided to go, I will accompany her."

"I'm sorry, Qiao Yu, it's all my negligence..." Yu Qingchuan lowered his head, his voice filled with strong apology and regret.

"Tsk." Cheng Sinian smacked his lips, "Old Yu, you're saying that again!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingchuan immediately shut his mouth, but he never raised his head.

"Qingchuan, stop blaming yourself. How can you be blamed for this?" Qiao Yu's eyes darkened slightly. "If anyone is to blame, it's only that lunatic Han Ming."

Gu Nanyu's eyes swept over the faces of several people one by one, and then he whispered, "Okay, since it's confirmed, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Qiao Yu was slightly stunned, "Third brother, you want to go too?"

"Is it not possible?" Gu Nanyu raised his eyebrows. "I am an animal mutant after all. What's the matter? Are you worried that I am not a natural mutant and will hold you back?"

"How could that be! That's not what I meant..."

Before Qiao Yu finished explaining, Cheng Sinian beside him said tremblingly: "Or let's just forget it..."

"I'm not afraid of you holding us back, I'm afraid if you go, we'll be wiped out..."

Hearing this, Gu Nanyu gritted his teeth and grabbed the half-empty bottle of mineral water on the table and threw it at Cheng Sinian, "You little bastard! If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!"

When Cheng Sinian saw the mineral water bottle flying towards him, he instinctively wanted to dodge backwards, but his foot slipped and he fell on his back on the ground.

Then the mineral water bottle landed perfectly on his stomach.

Luo Zhenzhen was startled and rushed forward to support him, "Anian, are you okay?"

"...Look, what did I say!" Cheng Sinian stood up with Luo Zhenzhen's strength, rubbing his butt and saying miserably: "Everything else is fine, but Gu Nanyu really can't go..."

"You little brat! It's obviously you who didn't stand firmly!"

As soon as Gu Nanyu finished speaking, Jiang Zhan stared at him and said seriously, "Actually, I also think it's better for you not to go."

“…”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian immediately grinned, "Look, Brother Zhan is still sensible!"

"But it's strange..." Cheng Sinian turned his gaze to Chen Wanning beside him, "Why is it that Sister Chen goes out with Gu Nanyu every day, and I don't see anything wrong with you?"

"Uh..." Chen Wanning smiled awkwardly, "Maybe... I saved a lot of people before, so my merits are higher?"

"Huh?" Cheng Sinian was stunned.

Is she implying that he is immoral?
