Old Zhao sighed deeply and said, "We've been investigating for a while, but we haven't made any progress."
"If it weren't for this natural disaster, we probably wouldn't have known that the situation was so serious."
We invited you here because you are the leader of the expert group's genome team and have made groundbreaking achievements in the field of genomics.
Sang You placed the brown paper bag on the table, gently pushed it forward, looked up at Old Zhao, and said, "I'll think about this some more." He then got up and left.
At this moment, a soldier walked in and said, "Reporting, Elder Zhao, the higher-ups request your presence."
"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?"
"It seems that a mysterious species was discovered at the intersection of AAC and AAS roads. The news coming back from the scene is that many people have mysteriously disappeared."
Sang You frowned upon hearing this and quickly left.
Upon hearing this, Old Zhao quickly got up and headed to the upper floors.
...
Jiang Yao and her companions had been driving for a short while when they were attracted by a cat's meow.
Meow....
The three looked at each other, wondering why there was a cat meowing!
Opening the car door, the heat outside felt like it was going to cook you alive. And there really was a cat on their car roof.
This is the same cat that lives in the farm's guest room; I wonder when it got onto the roof of the car!
As soon as the car door opened, the cat meowed and ran into the car. Suddenly, the green plants inside the car seemed to have discovered something and excitedly shook their leaves.
Seeing this, Shen Zhijie smiled mischievously and said, "What, do you want me to trim it for you?"
The green plants stopped swaying their leaves and became quiet.
The cat ran straight to the plants and lay down there without moving.
So this cat's nest is actually this plant!
The presence of this cat along the way added some fun to the otherwise monotonous journey.
Shen Zhijie: "Damn, this cat's poop smells awful."
Jiang Yao: "You clean it up yourself!"
Xiao Mu: "We need to drive."
Jiang Yao and her group drove the car into the city. The survivors on the roadside saw the RV and, unafraid of getting heatstroke, swayed and walked over, wanting some food and drink.
Xiao Mu acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and before the other person could walk up, he sped away in his car.
The others weren't annoyed to see them leave so quickly, because there was a group of ogres waiting for them inside.
The moment Jiang Yao and her group drove into the city, the local thugs were notified that a motorhome had entered.
squeak...
Xiao Mu's sudden braking woke Shen Zhijie from his deep sleep.
A jeep was parked in front of the car, and several young men got out. Each of them had a shaved head. The bald man at the head of the group grinned maliciously and said, "Friends in the car, we've got our eye on your RV. If you want to pass through here, you'll have to leave it here."
Shen Zhijie was speechless to see this group of young people robbing people in such hot weather.
Xiao Mu checked the time and said to Shen Zhijie, "Can we resolve this as quickly as possible?"
"We need to hurry and get going."
"What do you mean by 'the fastest time'? Wait, I'll go and take care of these troublemakers right away."
Shen Zhijie cocked his gun, rolled down the car window, aimed at the other car's tires, and fired a shot.
He then aimed the gun at the bald man and said, "Friend, since you think I'm delaying your journey, I'll send you on your way now!" Shen Zhijie's narrow, smiling eyes were fixed on the man, and he casually curled his lips.
Seeing that the other party had a gun, the bald man said obsequiously, "Brother, I was blind to your greatness. Please forgive my rudeness."
"Then hurry up and get out of the way, don't block the road." He then looked at Xiao Mu, "How about that, quick, right?"
The other party made way, and Xiao Mu started the car and drove away as quickly as possible. With the temperature rising, the RV could no longer be driven on the road during the day, and the time available to drive at night was limited. There was no other way but to make the most of every minute.
As the bald man watched them drive away, a flash of malice crossed his eyes. "It's alright, let them go!"
Whether they can get past the next hurdle depends on their skills; it's just a pity about that car.
Xiao Mu looked at the road sign facing the two of them and said, "Tonight we'll reduce the number of times we rest and try to reach the AAC district before dawn the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Yao had never been to the AAC district before; she had only heard from her friends that the AAC district was the dream home of the wealthy, the ultimate aspiration of business empires, and directly under the jurisdiction of the military.
Seeing Xiao Mu drive the two of them here, he asked with some confusion, "Why did we come here instead of going to the military base?"
Xiao Mu's lips curled up slightly, and he said mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
It was all very mysterious; no one knew what Xiao Mu was going to show the two of them.
Shen Zhijie had already guessed why Xiao Mu had come here.
During the day, Jiang Yao and the others parked and rested in a shady spot. Looking at the extremely hot weather outside, the air conditioning in the car had reached its limit and could no longer work.
There was no other way, so Jiang Yao had to wait until Shen Zhijie fell asleep every day before putting the ice cubes in the space into the refrigerator, and then take them out of the refrigerator during the day for everyone to use to cool down.
That night, Xiao Mu started the car, turned on the air conditioning, and waited for the air conditioning to lower the temperature inside the car before driving off.
Arriving at the edge of the AAS district, beyond which lies the AAC district, Xiao Mu prepared to continue his journey under the cover of night, aiming to reach the AAC district before dawn.
The closer they got to the edge of the AAS district, the more restless the cat inside the car became, forcing Xiao Mu to slow down and observe the surroundings.
As if sensing something, the plants wrapped the cat under their leaves.
