Chapter 73 First Business Trip
The vehicle drove for about five hours.
From the moment we passed through the third tunnel, the scenery became increasingly desolate.
If Li Muhan was initially excited about the rare opportunity to travel so far, he felt tortured when he saw the bare mountains on both sides, not to mention the composition of the people in the car.
Li Muhan sat in the middle of the back seat.
On the left is Xia Yue.
At this moment, she was holding Li Muhan's arm tightly.
On Li Muhan's right is also a young girl. She is tall, with elegant lines, a curvy figure, and an extremely beautiful appearance.
Her face, as cold and arrogant as a cold pond, was calm, her bright eyes sparkled like stars, and her beauty carried a hint of an air of "keep away from strangers". Only in this respect did Li Muhan feel that she was somewhat similar to Xia Yue.
"I'm sorry to bother you three this time."
Sitting in the co-pilot seat was a man in his sixties, who was also the main target of protection for Li Muhan and others in this mission.
Yes, this is an escort mission.
The old man's name is Zhang Wenlin. He is the deputy section chief of the Cultural Relics Protection Section of the Special Management Bureau. He does not belong to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, but to the Provincial Special Management Bureau. Therefore, Lin Ze and others also attach great importance to the tasks he brings.
Even if this is just a cultural relic recovery and escort mission.
But what Li Muhan couldn't understand was that the captain of this mission was actually Hati, an alien from the Northern Special Management Bureau.
Lin Ze’s explanation for this is.
"Now that she's here, she can't just sit there doing nothing all day. Find her something to do so she doesn't get into trouble."
It can be heard that Lin Ze is helpless towards Hati. It’s not that he is afraid of her, but Hati is not only an outlier in the Northern Special Management Bureau, but also a member of the Northern Royal Family. I heard that her status is not low.
If we offend her, it will affect the relationship between China and the Northern Country, and the responsibility will be huge.
Hati also agreed to this mission, but she put forward an additional condition, which was that Li Muhan had to accompany her on the mission.
Because she knew very well why Lin Ze asked her to carry out such a simple task.
This is China's territory, and you are now in the China Special Management Bureau. If you don't want to get into trouble, just stay here.
Hati also made his own response, bringing Li Muhan with him meant to tell Lin Ze.
If you don't help me find Skoll, I will start with this demon, and then both sides will be destroyed and no one will benefit.
So this seemingly simple task actually contains hidden secrets.
As for Xia Yue.
She is Li Muhan's guarantor and cannot let Li Muhan leave her sight for 24 hours. Originally, Lin Ze said that he could make an exception this time, but Xia Yue must follow him no matter what.
Lin Ze was also in a dilemma. After calling Chang Yue and getting his approval, he agreed to let the two aliens accompany Li Muhan on this mission.
When leaving the Special Management Bureau, Li Muhan heard Lin Ziyu's complaints.
"Director Lin! What's going on? The captain is off on another mission with two beauties! I want to go too!"
"Then you will lead the next mission with your captain."
"No, no, no, Director Lin, I was just kidding..."
At this time, Li Muhan looked out the window and cursed Lin Ziyu in his heart, saying that this kid could only share the good times but not the bad times.
This time the destination is a small town in another province, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Tianhai City. As for why they don't take a plane, this is an unwritten rule of the Special Management Bureau.
Because the Special Management Bureau's missions are often accompanied by danger, once a conflict occurs with aliens on the plane, the probability of innocent people dying will be very high.
Therefore, unless it is a specially required mission or some cross-border mission, the Special Management Bureau will not allow the mission to be carried out by plane.
"I didn't expect that the person who would come to escort me would be Miss Hati from the Northern Kingdom. I've heard a lot about you and your father, and I'm quite interested in the myths of your country. If it's okay..."
Zhang Wenlin was interrupted by Hati halfway through his words.
"No need to be so polite. I'm also an outsider from the Chinese Special Management Bureau. Please treat me as one of your own."
As for the myths of their country and her father, the legendary Fenrir.
Hati didn't want to say a word.
Zhang Wenlin clearly felt Hati's resistance, and after a few dry laughs, he said nothing more.
"Our mission this time will take two days and two nights. We're mainly going to recover an unearthed artifact in a small town in Yulang City. This artifact is related to aliens, and we might be attacked during this time. So I'm sorry to bother you three."
"It's okay, Chief Zhang. We're all family. Don't be polite. You're still our leader."
Li Muhan said jokingly.
And what about Xia Yue?
She just kept holding Li Muhan's arm and staring at Hati, as if she was afraid that Hati would eat Li Muhan if she wasn't careful.
The driver was an experienced driver sent by the Special Management Bureau. He had excellent driving skills, but no matter how good he was, he was still a human being. They had been driving for five or six hours, and Zhang Wenlin suggested that the driver take a break and have a cigarette.
But the driver insisted on going to the rest area to rest.
This place is located in the northwest and there are not many rest areas. Zhang Wenlin also understands the driver's insistence. Staying in the wild is likely to be attacked unexpectedly.
So I didn't say much.
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when they arrived at the rest area. Li Muhan was almost asleep, and Xia Yue had already fallen asleep with her arms around her. Only Hati did not show any sign of fatigue in his eyes.
She didn't say a word along the way, but occasionally she would slowly turn her head and look at Li Muhan with a half-smile.
When looking into those dark green pupils, Li Muhan always felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't escape their sight, so in the end he could only close his eyes and rest.
The northwest region has not been developed much, and there is only one older hotel in this rest area, but fortunately the sanitary conditions are acceptable.
Li Muhan went to the front desk to book a room.
Considering the protection of Zhang Wenlin, Li Muhan and Zhang Wenlin lived in one room, the driver lived in one room, and Hati and Xia Yue lived in one room.
But was told that there were only two rooms available.
Finally, after some discussion, the group decided that Li Muhan, the driver and Zhang Wenlin would share one room, while Hati and Xia Yue would share another.
But Xia Yue was obviously dissatisfied. She pulled Li Muhan's sleeve and was reluctant to go to her room.
Hati didn't care, she hugged Xia Yue.
"We haven't had a good chat for a long time. Come on, sister won't eat you."
"...We don't even know who will live longer between us. Stop pulling me! Let go!"
Snap——
Seeing the door of their room closed, Li Muhan breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hati and Xia Yue had a grudge, they shouldn't fight during the mission.
Everyone is very tired today, especially the driver.
He barely ate anything, smoked a cigarette, and then fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
His snoring made Li Muhan, who was sleeping on the sofa, unable to fall asleep at all. However, the old section chief Zhang Wenlin was not affected at all. Maybe this is what they call good sleep for the elderly.
Li Muhan, who couldn't fall asleep, decided to go out for some fresh air.
When he put on his coat and came to the door, he found a figure standing under the moonlight.
The long golden hair sparkled brightly in the moonlight, and fell down to her slender waist. The dreamlike feeling almost made people doubt whether this girl really existed in this world.
As if startled by the sound of Li Muhan closing the door, Hati turned his head slightly.
A glimmer of light flashed in her dark green eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing an extremely beautiful smile towards Li Muhan.
