Qin Siye choked up, cursing Qian Leduo's foul mouth in his heart for saying everything!
He looked embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, wondering if Li Xin'er had overheard him.
However, seeing that Li Xin'er still looked unwell and had her eyes closed as if she were asleep, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Qin Siye withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and glared fiercely at Qian Leduo.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Qian Leduo could clearly see the warning in those eyes, so he instinctively shrank back and wisely kept quiet without asking any more questions.
He didn't feel dizzy for the time being, so he tentatively shook his head. Feeling much better than before, he replied:
"I feel much better than before. Now when I move my head, I don't feel as dizzy as before."
Just then, Qian Leduo turned his head slightly to look out the car window, and what came into view was the white snow, like goose feathers, falling from the sky at great speed like a torrential downpour.
"It's snowing!"
Qian Leduo's surprised voice rang out. Before that, Li Xin'er had opened her eyes at some point, her bright eyes staring thoughtfully out of the car.
Qin Siye, who was driving, also saw it immediately and looked worried.
Qian Leduo continued:
"The base announced that there would be heavy snow, but this snow is too much. At this rate, it won't be half an hour before there is snow everywhere."
Li Xin'er suddenly spoke up, "Qin Siye, go faster."
Qian Leduo is right. In less than half an hour, vehicles will be unable to move an inch outside.
"Okay!" Qin Siye's face was serious, and he stepped on the gas pedal to the floor.
On the other side, just as Li Xin'er had predicted, Qi Hongshen and his group headed towards the zoo based on the survivors' testimonies.
Before we even reached the zoo, it started snowing heavily.
Qi Hongshen and Lu Jin'an were in the same car when they saw the snow falling suddenly and heavily, and they both became anxious.
Lu Jin'an's eyes were deep, and without any hesitation, she directly made the suggestion:
"Commander Qi, I think we should go straight back to the base, otherwise we might get stuck on the road."
Qi Hongshen looked at the map. The zoo was just a stone's throw away. He was already this far, and he was somewhat unwilling to give up now. He looked troubled and hesitant.
Seeing that he did not respond, Lu Jin'an continued to persuade him.
"It's obvious that the person wearing the mask is Li Xin'er and one of her subordinates. I guess it should be Qin Siye, the race car driver from the transport team."
Upon hearing this, Qi Hongshen turned his head to look at him and listened attentively to his speculation.
Lu Jin'an continued to explain her thoughts one by one.
"Li Xin'er brought people to rescue Qian Leduo, but she went to unnecessary lengths and wore a mask to cover up her actions. It must be because of those mutated beasts."
He was outside when his uncle Lu Chen urgently summoned him back to join Qi Hongshen in the rescue.
Before coming, Lu Chen had already told Li Xin'er everything about the mutated beasts.
Therefore, Lu Jin'an already knew the special nature and importance of that batch of mutated animals.
"Since Li Xin'er knows so much about mutated beasts, and considering that mutated beasts are a major combat aid, it is highly likely that she had already subdued a mutated beast before this."
"This time, she subdued and took the mutated beast away before we could. Whether she came specifically for the mutated beast or rescued people as an afterthought, her intentions were very clear..."
As Qi Hongshen listened, he pondered along with Lu Jin'an's words, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.
After hearing what Lu Jin'an said, he understood and replied in a deep voice:
"Is she telling us that she took the mutated beast, so it's hers, and even if we find out, she won't admit it?"
Qi Hongshen's words were somewhat straightforward and simple, and Lu Jin'an couldn't help but smile and nod.
Even if you know it's her, there's nothing you can do.
These mutated beasts wiped out a team of several hundred people, and for that reason alone, they have every reason to pursue the matter to the end.
Whether it's to kill the mutated beasts for revenge, or to subdue them...
But now Li Xin'er's meaning is very clear.
If they want to deal with these mutated beasts, sorry, the mutated beasts belong to her, she's protecting them, and messing with the mutated beasts is going against her.
If they don't mind what the mutated beasts have done and are willing to subdue and win them over, then there's even more regret—the mutated beasts aren't in her hands...
Their main tactic is to be lazy, and there's nothing they can do about it.
Qi Hongshen felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration, and sighed.
"Wow, that's a really sharp calculation."
Lu Jin'an remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was certain that these petty schemes were nothing to Li Xin'er.
He offered words of comfort with a positive attitude:
"Now that we know about the existence of mutated beasts, losing this batch is nothing. We just need to keep an eye out for others in the future."
As she spoke, Lu Jin'an looked out the window, then returned to the topic.
"Our top priority is to get back to base."
Qi Hongshen figured it out. Since they couldn't do anything to Li Xin'er even if they went to confront her, there was no point in running away. So they might as well just let it go and pretend they didn't know anything.
He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie in the car, pressed the talk button, and gave the order:
"All vehicles, turn around on the spot and get back to the base as quickly as possible!"
"I'll repeat myself: all vehicles, turn around on the spot and proceed at top speed..."
The long convoy turned back on the spot and sped towards the base.
Jingshan Villa District.
Carl, along with Vulture and Ali, were clearing snow from the doorway while anxiously looking ahead at the road.
The vulture first used its earth-based abilities to turn over the soil, piling the snow up beside a drainage ditch like a bulldozer.
