Chapter 297: Disaster
"What did you say? There are a lot of mutants lurking outside?"
When everyone heard this, they turned around and looked outside.
But the strange thing is that there was no one outside. Although it was pitch dark at night and there was no way to see very far away, if there really were mutants here, it would be impossible not to attack them.
When they came over, they didn't see a single living mutant.
"We have a guess now."
Although Jiang Mi was reluctant to express this speculation, they were all in danger and everyone had the right to know all the truth.
"We came here following wheel tracks that extended from the back door directly to this grove. As soon as we entered the grove, we were besieged by this group of mutants."
"But what's strange is that after we dealt with a group of mutants besieging us, another group came right after. They seemed to be targeting the two of us and ignored everyone else. That's why they retreated after you arrived just now."
Jiang Mi told every detail of all the strange things that had just happened.
Hearing this, everyone felt strange.
Naturally, there is also a hint of fear.
There are only two possibilities that can explain all this.
The first one is man-made. In other words, all the traps were set by Li Weibo and others. Not only did they secretly take Zhao Xiao away, they also set up an ambush on the road that Zhong Li and Jiang Mi had to pass through, using these mutants to kill the two.
The second possibility is that it was caused by intelligent distortion. This is also the most terrifying possibility. If it is true, it means that their enemies will become more powerful.
These intelligent mutants are likely to subvert the future.
Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, and some even stood aside without saying a word.
Seeing the strange atmosphere, Jiang Xun couldn't help but say, "No matter what the truth is, the most important thing for us is to return to the base and find a safe place."
"It's too dangerous here. Besides, we don't know why those mutants suddenly retreated. What if they appear again? We must be extra careful."
Hearing this, Jiang Mi nodded.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Having said that, he put his arm around Zhong Li's waist and helped him walk out.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun hurriedly stopped the two of them and said somewhat awkwardly, "Although I think this guy is good, can you two pay attention to him?"
"There are differences between men and women after all, so I'll just support him."
No one knew that Zhong Li and Jiang Mi were together, but the two of them tacitly did not tell anyone. They just smiled slightly, then slowly stood up and walked back.
The thick fog outside seemed to have dissipated a little, and visibility improved.
But apart from the mutant corpses on the ground, there were indeed no other mutants attacking the crowd.
This also made everyone's heart rise to their throat.
This weird thing was a little hard for them to accept.
"That's weird."
Zhong Li narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a low voice.
The other side.
Zhao Xiao was still in the warehouse when suddenly two people rushed up. They were wearing black sportswear, hats and masks, and it was impossible to see their appearance clearly.
The two men entered the warehouse and didn't say anything. Instead, they grabbed Zhao Xiao and hurried out.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Let me go now."
It was impossible for Zhao Xiao to not be afraid. He opened his mouth impatiently and kept trying to break free.
However, the two men were very strong, and Zhao Xiao was also tied up with shackles. There was no way to break free, so he could only be taken to an airtight laboratory.
This small laboratory is equipped with all kinds of experimental machinery. Not only that, a series of confidential precision instruments are even more powerful than the base where Jiang Mi is located.
Zhao Xiao looked at everything in front of him, a little dazed, and stood there without moving.
One of the men said coldly, "I know you are a capable person. We will not take your life, nor will we hurt you. You can rest assured."
"We just need you to write down everything you know. And give us the medicine you are developing now, including the formula."
"Also, I need you to make the corresponding finished product for us. If you cooperate obediently, we will naturally let you go after the task is completed."
Zhao Xiao knew that the other party was coming for his reversal drug.
Now that he heard this, he was sure of his guess. He curled his lips and smiled coldly. He was neither panicked nor afraid. Instead, he sat down on the ground.
He crossed his legs and looked at the two men and said, "I will do it if you ask me to do it."
"Besides, do you know how much relevant information and raw materials are needed to make this medicine? Can you give them to me?"
The two smiled at each other, and the man continued, "The machines in the laboratory are very complete, much better than those in the Dawn Base."
"As for the raw materials you mentioned, as long as you can tell us what they are, we can find them for you. So don't try to play any tricks on us. I said, if you can make the corresponding medicine obediently, we will let you go."
"But you refused to agree and insisted on causing trouble with us. Sorry, but this is the day you will die."
Zhao Xiao was not afraid at all anymore.
"Okay, in that case, you can kill me now."
"Anyway, I have already promised Jiang Mi that I will not give this medicine to anyone. I don't care who you are or where you got these things from. Now go back and give them to Jiang Mi. Get the forgiveness of everyone at the Dawn Base, and maybe I can give you some medicine."
"If you want to get the process I made in this way, then I advise you not to waste your energy. It is impossible."
After saying that, Zhao Xiao closed his eyes tightly and ignored him.
After hearing this, the other party naturally felt angry.
"You want to drink a toast and not accept it?"
"Don't be too happy too soon. When Jiang Mi and the others come, you will suffer a lot."
Hearing this, the two men laughed out loud, seemingly not caring at all.
"Don't mention that bullshit Jiang Mi anymore. I'm telling you, Jiang Mi has been captured by us. Now the entire Dawn Base is under our control, so there is absolutely no chance for you to escape."
"If you are sensible, you should hand over the prescription quickly and record all the procedures of the experiment, and you will naturally be able to exchange it for your wealth and glory."
