Sea area.
Jiang Nian'an led Xiao Longzhan and Yun Fan to the sea area, where they saw the octopus king's enormous body floating on the surface, gazing at the capital city in the distance.
"Hey, big guy!"
Xiao Longzhan shook his chubby little arm vigorously at the Octopus King, but his eyes were fixed on the Octopus King's constantly stretching and waving octopus tentacles, and a suspicious silver thread dripped from the corner of his mouth.
The Octopus King seemed to sense Xiao Longzhan's 'malice' and silently retreated more than ten meters away.
Then he lifted one leg and gently patted the surface of the sea.
Soon, several mutated sea creatures pushed more than a dozen strangely shaped corpses onto the beach.
The octopus king raised another leg and pointed at the corpses on the beach from a distance, then quickly led his minions down the beach.
Staying up there gave me a constant sense of danger that my legs would eventually become my own.
but......
The Octopus King suddenly stopped. Why were the sea serpents it sent so fast?
The message arrived almost immediately after they left?
Its nine brains worked at lightning speed, thinking for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.
“Third Brother,” Jiang Nian’an looked at the monster’s corpse at his feet, and solemnly took out two large sacks, “Let’s take them back to the Shen family first.”
"Um!"
Without saying a word, Yunfan immediately took the sack and quickly stuffed all the monster corpses that had turned white from being soaked on the beach into the sack.
Yunfan slung the sack over his shoulder. "An'an, let's go!"
"Third brother, give me one, I can carry it too!"
Xiao Longzhan tugged at Yunfan's sleeve and tiptoed to reach for the burlap sack on Yunfan's shoulder.
He was so small that he didn't even touch the edge of the sack.
Hearing Xiao Longzhan's words, Yunfan grinned and laughed, "With Third Brother here, you won't have to do this kind of heavy work!"
Xiao Longzhan pouted, turned around and grabbed Jiang Nian'an's hand, "Then I'll protect my sister!"
“Okay, you protect An’an, I’ll do the work, let’s go!” Yunfan took the lead and strode forward.
Their vehicle was parked a few hundred meters away from the military base.
The defense of this area is mainly carried out by the military, so Jiang Nian'an and Yun Fan did not hide the matter from the military regarding the appearance of monster corpses in the sea.
Therefore, when the other party saw the large sack and asked about it out of curiosity, the two told him the truth and also divided the other party's body into one-third.
The military also took the matter very seriously and immediately relayed it back to the Beijing base.
Knowing that the military had its own procedures, Jiang Nian'an didn't ask any further questions and returned to the Shen family with Yun Fan as quickly as possible.
......
"Fortunately, we reached an agreement with the Octopus King in advance, so even if there are problems in the sea area now, we won't be too passive."
Jiang Nian'an sat on the sofa, watching Shen Nanxing and Shen Nanchuan, who had rushed over, rummage through the corpse.
"Yes, but we still need to find out the source of these things as soon as possible, and figure out whether they were directly dumped into the sea, or whether the Bi family directly mixed the drug into the water..."
Shen Nanxing got up, took a wet wipe, and carefully wiped his hands.
Some of the corpses had obvious stitches, while others had no stitches at all, as if they were born with this monstrous appearance.
It makes it difficult to figure out where they came from.
"Brother, go and pick out a dozen or so people who are skilled in combat and good at investigation."
Shen Nanxing said to Shen Nanchuan, "Also, spread the word about the situation in the sea area, and go to the military to ask them to send people to investigate at sea with our people."
"Make it a grand spectacle, the kind that all the survivors in the entire capital know about."
"no problem!"
Shen Nanchuan didn't know why Shen Nanxing did this, but as a younger brother, he would unconditionally support his younger brother's decision.
After Shen Nanchuan left, Jiang Nian'an asked Shen Nanxing, "Do you want the Bi family to know that the Octopus King is in cahoots with us, so that they won't dare to take any more action against the sea area for the time being?"
"As expected of my An'an, we have such great chemistry."
Shen Nan walked over and sat down next to Jiang Nian'an, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"I've also instructed the Qiao and Luo families to keep a close eye on the Lin and Bai families..."
Shen Nanxing looked out the door, his gaze deep and serious. "I have a feeling they're about to make a big move."
Fishing in troubled waters is the easiest thing to do, and now, due to the influx of a large number of survivors, Beijing has become a murky pond.
There's also the Jiufang family, whose attitude is rather unclear—
They need to visit Jiu Fang's family again in the next few days.
"An'an, just in case, let's move nine-tenths of the Shen family's supplies into the space first."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but shouldn't we tell Grandpa about this?"
"No need. I will replace all the people guarding the warehouse with my own people, and move the supplies needed in the near future to another small warehouse. The large warehouse will be completely closed for the time being."
Send some more mutated rats to guard the underground area.
"Let's plant some more mutated plants around here, since we still need to go into the mountains," Jiang Nian'an suggested after thinking for a moment.
Shen Nanxing hummed in agreement, then got up and walked towards the warehouse with Jiang Nian'an in his arms.
......
As night fell, Beijing remained bustling with activity.
People were continuously being brought into the container area, while others were being taken to temporary refuge areas.
Some people who were repeatedly checked and confirmed to be safe were sent to bases in Beijing, or even to places guarded by various families and the military.
After all, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Many survivors with families are willing to risk their lives so that their loved ones can survive in this precarious and uncertain world.
Under the cover of the Jiu Fang family, Jiu Fangyun secretly arrived at a place about a hundred meters from the back gate of the Shen family amidst the hustle and bustle and some chaos.
Behind them is a cliff hundreds of meters deep.
"Who goes there!"
A group of bodyguards in black emerged from the surrounding bushes, guns pointed at Jiu Fangyun.
Another group of superhumans, with sharp eyes, had already secretly activated their powers, ready to strike.
"Please don't misunderstand, gentlemen. We are from the Jiufang family. This is my young master, Jiufang Yun. He has come here secretly because he has important matters to discuss with the second young master of the Shen family."
The people following Jiu Fangyun quickly came out and said.
The head bodyguard sized up Jiu Fangyun and his group a few times.
There were three people in total, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.
Moreover, the Jiu Fang family only has two direct descendants, but there are quite a few collateral descendants, and they all know each other.
Where did this Jiufangyun come from?
The head bodyguard looked at Jiu Fangyun with some doubt, but did not ask any questions. He simply said to a young boy next to him, "Go in and report."
The boy responded, turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Only the lingering silver lightning in the air indicated that he was a lightning-based ability user.
Jiu Fangyun's eyes flickered. Why let a rare lightning-type ability user guard the gate?
Is it because the Shen family is so powerful that even rare lightning-type ability users seem commonplace, or is it a deliberate act to show them?
