“Jian Ning, you’re right. Let’s rescue Li Haizhuang first, and then I’ll go and study this thing.” Fu Mengfan carefully held the bottle in his hand.

"No rush. After we finish rescuing them, eat something first. Da Liu said you haven't eaten for over a day. Do you think you're a robot that can survive just by charging?"

Xiao Lingfeng said something from the side, thinking to himself that he would ask Jian Ning for some Bigu Pills to prepare for Fu Mengfan. Although the taste was not very good, at least when he was busy, he could eat one so that he wouldn't go hungry.

Without pausing, they used the same method to force out the Gu worms from Li Haizhuang's body. Seeing that his wounds quickly stopped bleeding and his breathing became steady, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Fu, you guys go to the cafeteria and get something to eat. I'll watch over things here." Da Liu was worried that the stove in the room might go out, so someone couldn't leave the room unattended.

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Fu Mengfan first took the bottle containing the Gu worm into the laboratory, and then went to the cafeteria with Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning.

Right now, we're only offering noodles made from potato starch, which is made from cold-resistant potatoes.

It contained chopped cabbage. It was stir-fried with lard, and it smelled quite fragrant, but the taste was really not good; it was a bit harsh on the throat.

However, no one was going to waste food at this point; having anything to eat was already a blessing. So, although Jian Ning didn't like it, she forced herself to eat it all.

"Wait a day while I see if I can find a way to prevent the Gu worms from entering the body."

After finishing his meal, Fu Mengfan was in a hurry to return to the lab. He only said this one sentence to Xiao Lingfeng before running off.

"Let's go back to the building we used to live in. There are still some things in my room that I didn't have time to take with me back then," Xiao Lingfeng said, looking at Jian Ning without any rush to go back.

"good."

Anyway, the two of them didn't necessarily have to sleep in the house, and Jian Ning didn't mind where they went. Besides, she had lived in that house in Jinmao Mansion for a while and had grown quite attached to it, though she didn't know if it was in a dilapidated state by now.

It's been so long, it's not even certain if it's still there.

They left the camp with Xiao Lingfeng and found their way around. Taking advantage of the darkness, they flew there on their swords.

When I arrived at the location, I must say, the building's construction quality is really quite good.

Even the window glass, despite the cold weather and the ice storm a couple of days ago, wasn't broken much; at least the floor they used to live on was intact.

The two of them went straight through the wall and went to Xiao Lingfeng's house. Apart from being a bit cold and covered in dust, the house was exactly the same as when they left before, so it seemed that no one had ever been here before.

That's true. Back then, that octopus with its eight tentacles was so powerful that everyone was rushing to escape, and the house wasn't the best place to take refuge.

Xiao Lingfeng led Jian Ning to his old bedroom, where there was a hidden, separate storage space behind the wardrobe.

The room was well-stocked with supplies, including liquor, compressed biscuits, canned food, and some daily necessities.

Although the food looks past its expiration date, it shouldn't be spoiled. After all, the air outside is so cold, more than 70 degrees below zero, that food simply can't possibly spoil.

"Take all of these with you. You won't be coming back."

Jian Ning waved her hand, and everything in the room was put away. Then she took Xiao Lingfeng's hand and entered the space of the jade pendant.

"Let's rest here for the night and not go to the camp. We can also have another meal; that potato noodle dish was really awful."

“Things are much better now. I didn’t just boil some cold-resistant potatoes for you. At least I prepared them a little.” Xiao Lingfeng said, but his body language betrayed him as he sat down at the table.

He asked with a smile, "What would you like to eat?"

"Let's have a roast suckling pig, one will be enough for the two of us."

As Jian Ning spoke, she waved her hand, and a roasted suckling pig, golden brown and crispy, with an irresistible aroma, appeared on the dining table.

Although Xiao Lingfeng wasn't particularly fond of food, he couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw the roast suckling pig.

He took the knife Jian Ning offered and started cutting.

Eating only meat can get a bit greasy. Jian Ning then brought out a plate of vegetable salad, along with a layered pancake and chopped scallions. This one, wrapped around roasted suckling pig, was especially delicious.

After enjoying a hearty meal in the space and sleeping comfortably through the night, the two of them had a very sumptuous Hong Kong-style breakfast the next morning before strolling off to their lodgings.

As soon as they entered the gate of the compound, Da Liu, who had been waiting there, rushed over.

"Captain Xiao, sister-in-law, where have you two been? I've been looking everywhere for you!"

"What happened? Has something happened?"

Xiao Lingfeng's first reaction was that the two wounded soldiers from yesterday had run into trouble again, but that shouldn't be the case. They had clearly forced all the Gu worms out of their bodies, so could there still be some that had escaped?

"That's right. News came from Changzhou that the leader has gone missing and urgently needs rescue."

Let us send a few more superhuman warriors over there.

We only have one helicopter, and the commander took it with him when he left. So we were wondering if you could fly the helicopter over with people. It would be faster.

Da Liu sounded very anxious, as if he had been waiting for quite some time.

"Okay, we'll leave right away. How many people are going? Do you have a map?"

Xiao Lingfeng didn't hesitate at all. What exactly happened to the leader? Only he could find out the specific reason himself; even Da Liu probably didn't know.

"Yes, please wait a few minutes, I'll go get someone right away."

As he spoke, Da Liu turned and ran away.

Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning didn't go inside; instead, they came out and released the helicopter from their spatial storage.

In less than five minutes, a seven-person team rushed out of the base. They all looked like superhuman warriors.

Xiao Lingfeng opened the airplane door, and they quickly boarded the plane. The last one to board was Da Liu, who handed Xiao Lingfeng a hand-drawn map.

"I've already explained everything to Shen Mingyu. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask him. I can't leave here, so I won't be going with him."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Lingfeng took the map, opened it and glanced at it. The Changzhou base was marked in red.

The route doesn't look too far; I estimate it will take about two hours by plane to get there.

Giving a reassuring gesture towards the window, Xiao Lingfeng quickly started the plane.

Jian Ning, who was standing next to her, also picked up the map and glanced at it. She frowned slightly.

"On the way to Changzhou, you'll have to pass through these two mountains. It's snowing again today, so visibility is poor. Be careful when you fly the plane."

"It's alright, honey, don't worry. I've even flown fighter jets. I'm experienced in bad weather."
