"I have already sneaked into the Winter Base, but it may take some time to enter the underground laboratory. I probably won't be back recently. Be careful outside. I will find a chance to come back after I contact Xing Shaoan. I will tell you in detail then." Jiang Xun whispered.
Jiang Mi nodded, "Then you should be careful too. My plan is to go to other places to continue looking for supplies after taking over the research institute, but it won't be too far away, and if there is any danger, I can enter the space at the first time, so you can rest assured and don't worry about me. But you must be very careful."
Jiang Xun nodded, gave her a few more instructions, and prepared to leave.
Jiang Mi hurriedly called him, "Brother, the Chinese New Year is coming at the end of February."
Jiang Xun was slightly startled, then reacted, thought for a moment and whispered: "I will come back as soon as possible."
"That's not what I meant. If there's a risk, then there's no need to come back. I thought if we can get Xing Shaoan's issue settled before the New Year, then maybe we can bring our parents over to live with us." Jiang Mi smiled, a hint of longing flashed in his eyes, "I don't know how my parents are doing now. We've been out for almost two months, they must miss us a lot."
"It's a pity that only I can enter the space. It would be better if I could bring my parents with me."
Jiang Xun patted her head and said, "Don't think too much. I'll do it as soon as possible."
Jiang Mi slapped his hand away and rolled her eyes, "I'm not a child anymore, stop touching my head."
"I don't have much time left to be out, so I have to leave. If you have anything to say, please leave a message here. I will reply to you when I see it." Jiang Xun didn't care about her childish behavior, and left quickly after saying that.
After Jiang Xun left, Jiang Mi replenished the supplies in the house and waited for a long time before leaving.
This meeting with her brother put her at ease a lot of her worries. While there was still time, she simply found the nearest department store and started shopping.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked to the second floor and entered a shop, she suddenly felt a sense of danger in her heart. Before she could react, her neck was grabbed by someone, and a body pressed against her from behind. A deep voice rang in her ears, "Don't move!"
The sudden attack made her body stiffen. She was about to shoot with her right hand, but the person behind her seemed to have noticed it long ago. He used the fingers on her neck to apply a little force, forcing her to slightly raise her head. The gun in her right hand was also taken away by the person behind her.
After a moment of panic, Jiang Mi quickly regained his composure and no longer made any unnecessary movements, but his mind was still recalling the voice of the person behind him.
It feels a little bit... familiar?
It seems like I've heard it somewhere.
"Keep quiet and be good." The man behind him lowered his voice.
This time Jiang Mi heard it clearly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered in a low voice: "Gu Qi?"
As soon as the name was spoken, the person behind him paused slightly, as if a little surprised, and then a few low laughs sounded in his ears, "So, young lady, you still remember me."
Jiang Mi didn't respond to this question, but asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, miss. I won't do anything to you. It's just that you broke in suddenly and I was afraid you would ruin my business. I'm sorry for offending you." Gu Qi said lightly, but his hand that was pinching her neck did not loosen at all.
"I didn't mean to intrude. I can leave now." Jiang Mi said calmly.
In fact, she can enter the space directly now, but she will still be in this position when she comes out, and she will also expose the secret of the space to this person. Installing some things can be explained by spatial abilities, but directly pretending to be a living person and then using spatial abilities as an excuse is a bit unconvincing.
"No hurry. I didn't ask your name last time we met." Gu Qi seemed to have found a place to lean his back and pulled her back a few steps, causing her to lose balance and fall on his chest, while his other arm was across her waist.
Only then did Jiang Mi realize that Gu Qi was almost a head taller than her.
"Jiang." Jiang Mi was a little annoyed and secretly tried to stand up straight, but his arms were clamped tightly and he had little strength. "Loosen up a little, let me stand up straight."
Gu Qi was obedient this time and loosened his grip a little. After she stood up straight, he chuckled and said, "Ginger? I hate eating ginger the most. What a pity."
Jiang Mi was a little speechless, "So how long will your plan take, and when can I leave?"
"Miss Jiang, what are you going to do here?" Gu Qi asked as if he didn't hear her words.
Jiang Mi was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she just shut up, crossed her arms across her chest and used him as a cushion.
With her neck held by him, she couldn't look around. Moreover, they were currently in the corner next to the door, and with their limited vision, they couldn't see anything useful.
Gu Qi couldn't help laughing a few times when he saw her like this. The vibration from his chest behind him made Jiang Mi feel even worse. He even wondered in his mind if he could take out a hammer from the space to smash him to death.
But the idea was dismissed as soon as she thought about it, because anything taken out from the space would only appear in front of her, and Gu Qi was behind her.
Since there was no immediate danger to his life, Jiang Mi had no plans to take any other action. He just waited and saw what Gu Qi was up to.
But she didn't say anything, but Gu Qi didn't intend to leave her alone, "Ms. Jiang, did you find the person you were looking for?"
Jiang Mi still ignored him, so Gu Qi continued, "I seemed to have seen the gentleman who was with Miss Jiang at the Winter Base yesterday. It seemed like you were very close to him. Is he your brother?"
Hearing him mention the Winter Base, Jiang Mi's expression changed slightly, "You are not from the Winter Base, how did you see it?"
"I thought Miss Jiang was going to keep silent forever." Gu Qi laughed twice again.
He seemed to like laughing very much. Whether it was when we first met or now, he was always smiling.
Seeing that Jiang Mi was silent again, Gu Qi continued, "I am indeed not from the Winter Base, but I am not afraid to tell Miss Jiang that I am from the Second Southwest Survivor Base. I see that Miss Jiang, you don't seem to have joined any base yet, why don't you consider joining our base?"
When Jiang Mi heard about the Second Survivor Base in the Southwest, he tensed up a little, then he reacted and relaxed his body, pretending to be somewhat curious and asked, "Second Survivor Base in the Southwest? What is the strength of your base?"
"As for the strength, you will know once you join. With your strength and that of that gentleman, I believe the treatment will be very good as long as you join." Gu Qi chuckled.
"Is your base in City D?" Jiang Mi asked tentatively.
"Of course not, but it won't be long before City D will be incorporated into our Second Southwest Survivor Base." Gu Qi said without hesitation.
Jiang Mi raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the Southwest Second Survivor Base was planning to attack the Winter Base. No wonder he had never heard of this Winter Base in his previous life. It turned out that it disappeared so early. (End of this chapter)
