Chapter 68: The Enemy of My Enemy
Not knowing how long he was unconscious, Jiang Rong opened his eyes again and found himself sleeping in an unfamiliar bed surrounded by pure white walls.
"Xiao Rong, are you still feeling dizzy?" Zhao Runguo said as he handed over a cup of warm water. The hot water was boiled early in the morning and then stored in the gem space.
Jiang Rong took the water, drank it slowly, and then shook his head.
After just a good night's sleep, all the previous discomfort has disappeared.
"That's good." Zhao Runguo was relieved, but his expression was not very good.
"Uncle Zhao, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been about half a day. It's already dark outside."
Jiang Rong nodded, and then said: "Uncle Zhao, I seem to have seen Chen Ru and the others before I fainted?" Jiang Rong recalled the last scene he saw before he lost consciousness.
She saw Chen Ru and Jiang Miao tied up in the back of a truck without any protective measures. She didn't know how long they had been tied up. Both of their faces facing the sun had begun to show signs of corrosion.
"It's them." Zhao Runguo glanced at Jiang Rong who was sitting on the bed, and nodded solemnly.
Jiang Rong frowned when he heard this.
Then he asked: "What are they doing now?"
Her head was dizzy at the time and she only had time to take a look before she completely lost consciousness. Now she could only ask Uncle Zhao with a confused look.
Zhao Runguo shook his head with some self-blame when he heard this.
When he looked at the spirited young men opposite him, he knew at first glance that they were not easy to deal with. In addition, Jiang Rong, who had always been determined, fainted again, so he did not dare to act rashly and escaped with his men.
Fortunately, those people seemed to have something urgent to do, so I didn't really bother with them.
But before leaving, he still laughed at me a few times.
Although Zhao Runguo was so angry that he clenched his fists, he finally endured it. If a real fight came to a head, he and that little guy Qi Hao would have little chance of winning.
"Do they have any special marks?"
Jiang Rong turned his eyes slightly. Those people were able to capture Chen Ru and Jiang Miao without seeming to have put in much effort. They must all be people with special abilities.
She still remembered what Nan'er had said before, about the current distribution of power in the county.
There are only three major forces: light, ice and skeleton.
If she remembered correctly, Han Bing was full of female superpowers. If Han Bing was removed, then only Guang Ming and Skull were left.
Hearing Jiang Rong's question, Zhao Runguo and Qi Hao subconsciously recalled the scene in the afternoon.
Finally, they all shook their heads.
Jiang Rong was not disappointed by this either.
She already had a prediction in her mind.
Nan Er said that the leader of Guangming is Zhao Yongheng, who is connected with the official authorities.
And looking at the behavior of the group of people in the afternoon, she felt that it was more likely that they were skeletons.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rong remembered that Nan Er's words at the time clearly showed his disdain for the Skeleton Force, and he did not hide the disgust on his face at all.
Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"It's okay. Let's go to the county government at dawn tomorrow and find the young man named Nan'er to find out more about the situation. But our return trip will probably be delayed again..." Jiang Rong said, holding his forehead.
They had no idea before. They didn't know how to find the person in this huge county town. But now that they have basically determined the person's location, she and Uncle Zhao certainly had no reason to just leave it alone and go back first.
Zhao Runguo nodded when he heard this. Although he was eager to go home, he had already seen with his own eyes the two girls being tied up and taken away. He certainly could not just turn a blind eye and watch.
The main reason is that we have discussed and helped each other along the way, and we have some affection for each other, and we are all from the same village...
As for Qi Hao, he basically just nodded silently no matter what Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo said.

At seven o'clock the next morning, when the sun was rising, Jiang Rong and his companions waited in the closed small room for another hour before they got ready and set out from the underground.
When they appeared again, they and their car rushed out from the sparsely populated road.
Zhao Runguo was still in charge of driving.
This time, Commander Jiang Rong gave Uncle Zhao a lesson and changed the Hummer to one for him to drive. If he got hit again today, she probably wouldn't be the one who got hurt.
Fortunately, she had the foresight to buy six of each model, and her inventory is now sufficient.
It’s a pity about the car we had yesterday. Although its quality was average, it was more than enough for normal driving, and I only drove it once.
Jiang Rong felt a little painful when he thought of this.
As the sun grew brighter, more people appeared on the streets, but most of them appeared in groups of more than ten people.
It has been two or three months since the natural disaster. People who don't have much stock at home can now form a team to look for supplies.
However, non-supernatural people only dare to search in places where sunlight can reach.
For a moment, the county town, which was originally full of crises, now seemed to have some life.
Zhao Runguo took five detours in a row, and there were some places where he could not take a detour, so he had to go underground. In total, it took more than two hours to drive the car to the vicinity of the county government.
At the moment, the entire area is facing the sun, and as it is the stronghold of 'Light', it looks quite lively, with many people coming and going.
This area should be the place where the most supernatural people gather in the entire county, and it is also the place with the least number of mutant beasts.
Zhao Runguo once again pushed the people and the car into the ground, and waited until Jiang Rong put the car away before he led the two of them out from the other side of the underground.
After walking about a hundred meters, the three of them arrived at the gate of the county government. There were two fully armed soldiers guarding the gate, one on each side. Since the two men were wrapped tightly, Jiang Rong couldn't tell their ages.
Jiang Rong took the lead and stepped forward, asking, "Hello, may I ask if there is a person named Nan Er here?"
The soldier at the door lowered his head in response, and his voice sounded like he was in his twenties or thirties.
"Are you Nan'er's family?"
Jiang Rong shook his head.
"No, I just have something to discuss with him." Jiang Rong told the truth.
The soldier paused for a moment before saying, "Wait here for a moment. I'll ask someone to help look for him. But I think he may have gone out on a mission. Everyone has been very busy these days."
Jiang Rong nodded upon hearing this and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay. It's my duty." After the soldier finished speaking, he greeted a person who happened to pass by the gate, and then whispered a few words to the person. Then he turned around and trotted back: "I'll ask someone to look for it. You wait here."
After saying this, the young soldier stood up straight again.
Jiang Rong thanked him again in a low voice, then took a few steps back and waited quietly to the side.
About twenty minutes later, a man who was also wrapped tightly came out trotting out.
Jiang Rong watched from a distance and couldn't tell whether the person was Nan Er or not.
"Xiao Zhao, who's looking for me?" Nan Er was just about to gather the team to set off to the East District to collect supplies, but he was stopped just before getting on the car and told that someone was looking for him outside.
But after thinking about it, he really couldn't remember who would come to see him at this time.
