He was in the same posture on the second floor just now, or rather, he always behaves this way whenever he is unsure whether the other party is in danger, it's just not as obvious as it was today.
He actually wanted to come up with Lin Yue, but if he did, Jiang Ci would definitely come up too, and Jiang Ci wasn't so easily fooled.
"Miss Lin, did Professor Mu and the others hide in the women's restroom the whole time?" Jiang Ci asked, slightly frowning.
He definitely wouldn't believe it if I told him. If someone had really been hiding in the toilet all along, they would have been discovered long ago, even if it was the women's restroom.
It's the apocalypse, who cares about men and women? Besides, this group of people are all desperate criminals, they wouldn't care about men and women under normal circumstances, let alone now.
"Of course not. If I had been hiding here, I would have been discovered long ago. Naturally, I would move to a different place every day." Lin Yue spoke without batting an eye, not afraid of being exposed at all. She had mastered the art of remaining composed.
Kongling told her that the four people had been in a daze since they were kidnapped. They were physically weak and had never truly woken up. They had no idea where they were.
Mike was content as long as people didn't die, and Rolls, needless to say, was already so enraged that he wanted to kill them all.
Upon hearing this, when they brought the person out for a quick look, they discovered that the person had been injected with drugs. No wonder there was little reaction even after being hit so hard.
"Commander, the doctor has given Professor Mu medication, but it hasn't helped much. Professor Mu has many injuries, and the doctor suspects that his internal organs may be damaged. Given his current condition, even if he returns to base, he might not be able to hold on." Hu Lin reported the situation while standing ramrod straight.
This matter is not confidential, so there's no need to avoid mentioning it to others.
Lin Yue reached into her backpack and took out four small medicine bottles with their packaging torn off. They contained diluted spiritual spring water. "Try these. Drinking them will make them feel better."
Jiang Ci took the medicine bottle: "Did Miss Lin give Professor Mu and the others this medicine before?"
He didn't ask what kind of medicine it was. Since the packaging had been torn off, it must be a privately made medicine. The world is a big place, and there are all sorts of wonders. There are too many capable people in the general public.
"No," Lin Yue said truthfully, paused for a few seconds, and then added, "I dare not give it to them, for fear of being extorted. Now that you have a doctor here, you can test them, and it wouldn't hurt to use it, since the person wasn't dead yet anyway."
It's normal for people to be indifferent in this world; the problem is that she went too far.
Although I still feel that Lin Yue wasn't telling the truth, there's nothing I can do now. If she says it's useless, then it's useless.
"Hu Lin, have the doctor take a look at this medicine. If there are no problems, then give it to Professor Mu and the others."
"Yes, Commander." Hu Lin took the medicine and immediately gave it to the doctor.
Ten minutes later, Hu Lin came over to report the results.
"Miss Lin, what would you two like as a reward?" Jiang Ci asked.
The medicine has been taken, and the person is still unconscious. However, they have already administered the medicine, and regardless of the final outcome, they need to be paid. They just hope that Miss Lin won't be too greedy, otherwise, she can't blame them for breaking their promise.
"Commander Jiang, I wonder if you can make a decision on behalf of the base leaders? If so, I'll tell you my request today. If not, then we should wait until we return to the base and you can find someone who can make the decision to talk to me." Lin Yue looked at Professor Mu, who had already woken up, and her thoughts were clear.
Jiang Ci is a smart person. According to what Kong Ling told her, Jiang Ci studied psychology in the army and has a knack for judging people.
Although she was quite certain that she hadn't given herself away, she naturally wanted to see this whole thing through to the end, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood.
Her goal has always been Professor Mu, and his soon-to-be-released time machine. If she doesn't show any ambition, who knows how long she'll have to go down this path.
Jiang Ci followed Lin Yue's gaze and saw that Professor Mu had already woken up. He breathed a sigh of relief and realized that Lin Yue had come for Professor Mu.
People might not have recognized Professor Mu when they met him before, but he just mentioned it, which might be why Lin Yue changed her story.
"In that case, Miss Lin and Mr. Cang will return to J City with us. I will report today's events to my superiors when we get back. As for what happens afterward, that's beyond my control."
Since he directly requested to see the leader, it means that this matter is indeed beyond his ability to resolve.
After Professor Mu woke up, he regained some of his strength. Upon learning that Lin Yue and Cang Yu had saved them, he insisted on being helped up and walked to Jiang Chi's side.
"Xiao Jiang, you've worked hard!" Professor Mu greeted Jiang Ci first.
"Professor Mu, how are you feeling? Why don't you lie down and rest for a while, and I'll talk to you about it later."
"No need, I know my body, I'm much better now. I came here to thank Miss Lin and Mr. Cang." Professor Mu looked at Lin Yue and Cang Yu, "Miss Lin, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, we would probably be dead here. You saved my life and the lives of my three students. If you need anything at the base in the future, you can come to the National Academy of Sciences at the base to find me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."
Although he was just a researcher, he also held a minor position in the military, and he could handle even the smallest matters.
"Hello Professor Mu? You can just call me Lin Yue. I don't really have anything important to say, I just want to find my parents through you," Lin Yue replied truthfully.
She came here to find her relatives, and that statement is correct.
"Find your parents through me?" Professor Mu looked Lin Yue carefully, then said, "Lin Yue, I suddenly remembered, you look a lot like someone I've met before, but she's already over forty."
While he was tied up, he vaguely saw a couple. The woman looked very much like Lin Yue, but he didn't know how they were doing. At that time, the two of them also wanted to save them.
"Professor Mu, if I'm not mistaken, those are my parents. I see, they also..."
“Professor Mu,” Lin Yue suddenly interrupted Professor Mu, “Professor Mu, since you said I can tell you what I need and that you can help me, then I will say it. I hope to find my parents through a research project you are currently working on.”
She knew what Professor Mu wanted to say, but she couldn't say it here. Her parents might be in this building right now, but they were in a parallel universe and not by her side.
Upon hearing Lin Yue's words, Jiang Ci's brows furrowed immediately.
That's a secret, how did they know?
Professor Mu knew what Lin Yue was talking about; it wasn't difficult to understand.
The research he wants to do now is simply to use materials produced by asteroids to study time travel machines and solve the situation where they were caught off guard by the apocalypse at the beginning.
Actually, his idea was the same as Jiang Ci's. This was a state secret. How did they know?
