Chapter 418 The operation proceeds as planned
Chen Peiqiong has first-class communication skills. Some time ago, she helped Xia Xiaoman distribute jammers and in a short period of time she became the most popular employee in the farm.
After receiving the photo from Xia Xiaoman, Chen Peiqiong immediately asked other workers. An aunt who was cleaning the farm replied that she saw several men in baseball caps taking the girl in the photo to the place where snow vines were cultivated in the morning.
Snow vine is aggressive, so except for professionals, no one else is allowed to approach the place where snow vine is grown, so as to avoid being accidentally killed by the snow vine.
Xia Xiaoman received the message from Chen Peiqiong and immediately forwarded it to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue checked every surveillance camera in the living area and the entrance and exit of the underground city, but she never expected that the person who kidnapped Qiao Wan would take her to the place where snow vines were planted.
Worried that Qiao Wan would be killed by the snow vine, Jiang Yue contacted Yu Jie immediately and asked her to send someone to rescue Qiao Wan as soon as possible. During this period, she kept an eye on every surveillance camera in the planting area to check if there were any suspicious people.
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Jie found Qiao Wan who was almost suffocated by the snow vine in the snow vine cultivation room.
After spending a day with Xue Teng, Qiao Wan was covered with wounds and the ground was littered with Xue Teng's corpses.
After being rescued, Qiao Wan lay exhausted on the ground and said hoarsely, "Mayor Yu, if you had come a little later, I would have really died."
Yu Jie arranged for someone to clean up the mess. After hearing Qiao Wan's words, she squatted down and asked, "Are you okay? Can we continue the operation tomorrow?"
Qiao Wan: “…”
"Can I apply for two days of rest?"
Yu Jie shook her head. "No, the test results at noon showed that the ultraviolet rays outside were twice as strong, and the oxygen content in the air was slowly decreasing. We don't have much time left for the ozone layer, and we must make all preparations before it is completely destroyed."
Qiao Wan sighed heavily. This is the sadness of working people. They can’t even take a sick leave to recuperate for two days.
…
Qiao Wan's body was covered with skin wounds. After sprinkling red worm powder on her, they formed scabs the next day and did not affect her movements.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the plan to go out and collect the black meteorite went on as scheduled, and Xia Xiaoman arrived at the gathering place early with Maodan.
The only people who participated in the operation this time were Hu Ying, Qiao Wan, Jiang Yue and Xia Xiaoman, in addition to the special forces. Hu Ying participated as a military doctor, Qiao Wan was in the mobile warehouse, Jiang Yue controlled the drone to explore the way ahead. Xia Xiaoman was there because there was a wolf next to him.
Jiang Yue signed Xia Xiaoman up for the action because she believed animals had sharper intuition than humans. Bringing a wolf along might save his life at a critical moment.
The reason was a bit far-fetched, but Yu Jie took into account that Xia Xiaoman was quick-witted and that letting Xia Xiaoman participate in the operation might bring unexpected surprises, so she agreed to Jiang Yue's application.
The person leading this special forces was Xie Yi. After counting the number of people, Xie Yi walked up to Xia Xiaoman and the other three and asked, "You all know how to use a pistol, right?"
Hu Ying said, "I learned it when I went to the capital before." The other three nodded.
Seeing this, Xie Yi took out four pistols and handed them to them. "Under normal circumstances, you just need to stay in the car. We will call you out after we drive away the mutants. But in order to avoid accidents, you must carry guns with you. If anything goes wrong, you can shoot to drive the mutants away."
From beginning to end, Xie Yi talked about driving away and forcing the mutants to retreat, rather than killing them.
It's not that he doesn't want to kill mutants, but mutants are too strong, and it's already very difficult to drive them away. If you want to kill mutants, it's basically impossible unless you are a professional shooter with fast, accurate and ruthless shooting skills.
The special forces he brought this time were all good marksmen, and he hoped that the mission could be successfully completed without any casualties.
After distributing the pistols, Xie Yi also distributed bulletproof vests and hats to Xia Xiaoman and the others. After everything was ready, he arranged for them to get in the car.
There were 17 vehicles in total, with five people in each car. Qiao Wan, Hu Ying and three special forces soldiers were in one car, and the other vehicles surrounded and protected Qiao Wan's car.
Xia Xiaoman, Jiang Yue and Xie Yi were sitting in car No. 2. Xie Yi adjusted the fleet based on the video footage Jiang Yue saw from the drone. Xia Xiaoman had to keep an eye on Maodan's condition. If there was anything wrong with Maodan, she would report it to Xie Yi and Jiang Yue immediately.
As soon as she came out of the dungeon, Xia Xiaoman saw mutants. Watching them closely, she found that these mutants really looked like primitive people who had regressed to their ancestors. But they only looked like primitive people. Their physical fitness and IQ were completely different from those of primitive people.
These mutants originally wanted to attack the convoy, but when they saw cars coming out of the underground city one after another, they guessed that this convoy was not easy to deal with, so they stood aside and watched, and did not attack the convoy easily.
Maodan stared at the mutants for a while, and seeing that they didn't move, he withdrew his gaze and leaned his big head on Xia Xiaoman.
Seeing that Maodan didn't react much, Xia Xiaoman withdrew his gaze and spoke to Jiang Yue in a low voice.
"Who took Qiao Wan away yesterday? Was it someone from the capital?"
Jiang Yue was multitasking, and while controlling the drone, she said, "Well, they want to take back Qiao Wan's jade space. In order to force Qiao Wan to reveal the whereabouts of the jade space, they threw her into the place where the snow vines were cultivated. Every time Qiao Wan was about to be strangled to death by the snow vines, they would press the switch to cut off the snow vines."
During the seven or eight hours she was locked up in the Snow Vine Cultivation Room, Qiao Wan was on the verge of death again and again, but was rescued again and again. If someone with a weaker mind was weak, they might collapse from these repeated near-death experiences.
But Qiao Wan persisted. She knew very well that once she revealed the location of the jade space, the next time she was entangled by the snow vine, her neck would definitely be strangled.
Xia Xiaoman asked, "How did the people in the capital find out that Qiao Wan was in Fucheng? Is there a traitor in Fucheng?"
Qiao Wan sneaked into Xinfu City. After Yu Jie found her, she did not reveal her identity and kept her on the mission in secret. Logically, the capital should not know Qiao Wan's whereabouts.
Jiang Yue shook her head. "Qiao Wan has been to Fucheng several times before. The mastermind behind Qiao Wan's kidnapping had seen her before. After recognizing Qiao Wan, he secretly told the capital about her."
It was also because they neglected to take precautions. Yu Jie was afraid that sending too many people to protect Qiao Wan would backfire and expose Qiao Wan's identity. So she didn't let too many people follow Qiao Wan, but she didn't expect that something would happen.
Jiang Yue pursed her lips and continued, "After a while, the capital may give up on Qiao Wan, and then Qiao Wan's life will be safe."
Xia Xiaoman nodded in agreement, "After a while, the ozone layer will be damaged, and even if the capital wants to send someone to capture Qiao Wan, they won't be able to come."
Jiang Yue said, "It's not because the ozone layer is damaged, but because after a while, the capital may be able to create its own jade space. By then, the jade space in Qiao Wan's hands will not be so precious."
