"Didn't they say they were forced to do this?" Jiang Mi sneered, "Then I will make it come true!"
"I will discuss this with Miao Xi later and ask her to take those people to gather everyone within a ten-kilometer radius. We will find a chance to contact the man at the police station and see if we can get some clues about Xing Shaoan from him."
Jiang Xun had no objection to Jiang Mi's arrangement.
"Brother, how long will it take you to break through?" Jiang Mi suddenly thought of this.
It has been almost a month since Jiang Xun said that he was about to make a breakthrough, but there has been no movement until now.
Jiang Xun looked down at the arc flashing at his fingertips, frowning slightly, "It seems to be a bottleneck. I can feel that I am only one step away from the fourth level, but no matter how hard I try, I am always a little short."
Jiang Mi comforted him, "It's normal that the higher the level, the harder it is to break through. And your progress is already very fast, far exceeding the geniuses I heard of in my previous life. And our current strength is more than enough to protect ourselves. Don't worry, just let it go."
Jiang Xun nodded, without showing any special expression.
Jiang Mi was relieved to see that he didn't seem to be stuck in a rut, but then her stomach suddenly growled.
She touched her stomach and looked up to see Jiang Xun looking at her. She couldn't help but chuckle and said a little embarrassedly, "It happened suddenly this morning, and I only had time to eat a meat bun. I had already digested the food from beating those people up."
Jiang Xun curled his lips without comment, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Brother, you haven't had breakfast yet, aren't you hungry?" Jiang Mi closed his eyes and probed into the space with his consciousness to search for something to eat for breakfast. "What do you want to eat? Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, beef noodles, tofu pudding, pie, and various porridges."
"All is fine." Jiang Xun said casually.
He never had too many requirements for food.
Finally, Jiang Mi took out two servings of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, two tea eggs and two small pickles, and the two of them had a full breakfast.
Just after finishing the meal, there was a knock on the door.
"Ms. Jiang."
It was Miao Xi's voice.
Jiang Mi put the dishes on the table into the space, put on the breathing filter, and stood up to open the door. Miao Xi was standing at the door. Seeing her, he nodded slightly and said, "I want to talk to you about something."
Jiang Mi looked back at Jiang Xun, who waved at her.
The two walked into another room and sat down.
Miao Xi was silent for three seconds, then organized her words and asked with some doubt: "Ms. Jiang, to be honest, I am indeed tempted by the conditions you proposed, but I also don't understand them."
Jiang Mi didn't say anything and waited for her to continue.
"If you are looking for an ally, I think it would be better to find someone who has awakened superpowers. As you can see, I am just an ordinary person with two children. I don't think there is anything about me that you would like to see." Miao Xi looked serious.
Jiang Mi's eyes fell on her face.
At this time, Miao Xi did not wrap himself tightly. He wore a black tight turtleneck sweater and an old-fashioned orange down jacket. His hair was tied in a high ponytail. He had thin eyebrows, narrow and sharp eyes, but his look was clean and clear.
She is not very pretty, not a beauty in the public's sense of the word, but she has a tall and slender figure, and her every move is full of healthy, confident, powerful beauty.
She has an unspeakable charm that makes her shine even in adversity.
This is also the reason why Jiang Mi admires her more and more.
In Miao Xi, she can see an extremely firm original intention.
"Ms. Miao, strength is not everything in this apocalypse." Jiang Mi said word for word: "I admire you very much. I can see the good side of human nature in you, which is rare in the apocalypse, so I am willing to make friends with you."
"We want to find hope for the future of mankind in this apocalypse. This cannot be done by one or two people. We need like-minded people to work together."
"Besides, you may be ordinary now, but you may not be in the future." Jiang Mi smiled, "Have you forgotten what I said? We are developing a drug that can help human survivors gain superpowers. As long as the research and development is successful, our future will definitely be extraordinary."
"The mutants will no longer be a nightmare for the human survivors."
Her gentle but firm voice was full of bewitching. Miao Xi pursed her lips and stared at the Miao Dao lying across her legs. After a long time, she looked up at Jiang Mi and said lightly, "Okay, I am willing to join Shuguang."
Jiang Mi smiled and stretched out a hand, "Welcome to join."
Miao Xi held her outstretched hand and looked at her steadily, "I hope you are not lying to me."
Jiang Mi blinked, "Lulu's advancement should be completed in the next few days. Whether it is true or not, won't we know then?"
At this point, she chuckled and said, "Relax, I have something else to ask you."
"What?" Miao Xi was stunned.
"Do you know anything about the group of people in the police station five kilometers to the southeast?" Jiang Mi asked.
Miao Xi lowered his head and thought for a while before frowning and said, "I don't seem to have any impression. There are not many survivors around, big and small, not too many, and there are big changes every period of time. As far as I know, the police station has changed three groups of people."
Jiang Mi's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Does Xing Shaoan have any relatives in R City?"
"He has a younger brother and sister, but he comes from a reconstituted family. His brother and sister were brought by his stepmother, and their relationship seemed to have always been very dull," Miao Xi recalled.
After hearing what Miao Xi said, Jiang Mi had a guess in his mind.
"Have you met Xing Shaoan's brother? Do you know anything about him?"
Miao Xi nodded. "Old Xing and his brother are seven or eight years older. Before the end of the world, his brother was still in college. I met his brother a few times before. He looked like a rebellious kid. His half-sister has a congenital genetic disease and is often hospitalized, but I've rarely seen her."
Jiang Mi sorted out the information in his mind and asked again: "After the doomsday, do you have any news about his family?"
This time Miao Xi shook his head. "Although Xing Shaoan and I are childhood friends, we haven't really communicated much in recent years. We only send each other messages and chat during festivals. This time I learned that he left R City because of his birthday. He asked me out for a drink, and during the dinner table chat he mentioned that he and several professors were going to Y City to attend an academic exchange meeting."
"When the apocalypse first started, I sent him a message to ask about his situation, but he never replied. Later, his cell phone stopped working, and I didn't hear from him anymore."
"Did he only look for you for his birthday?" Jiang Mi was a little curious.
Miao Xi sighed, "Ever since his father remarried, he has cared less about him. Old Xing is a sullen person who keeps everything to himself. He has few friends over the years, especially since he entered the research institute. He has been alone and has hardly ever returned home. His father doesn't care much about him, but he still maintains a relationship with me, so he asked me to have a drink with him on his birthday." (End of this chapter)
