Chapter 199: Killing and Silencing

As the aroma in the pot became stronger, people's saliva began to flow, and everyone held a small bowl, waiting to be divided into a bowl of meat.

The first bowl was given to Duan Haiping according to Liu Jianan's request.

The soup was thick and milky white. When Hu Deyi was boiling, he only added the basic green onions, ginger and garlic, retaining the most tender and refreshing taste of the insect meat.

Duan Haiping scooped a spoonful of meat soup, which was also mixed with crystal clear small pieces of meat, and he put it into his mouth to chew.

Liu Jianan asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Duan Haiping savored it carefully and gave a fair evaluation, "The texture of the insect meat is a bit like fish meat. It falls apart when you roll it with your tongue. It has a dense texture, fresh and sweet, and is very good."

Hearing Duan Haiping say this, Liu Jianan felt relieved and quickly asked his godfather to serve him a big bowl.

Duan Haiping came to his senses, "You were anxious to let me taste it just now. You didn't want me to help you try whether the insect meat is edible, did you?" "

How could that be possible? How could you think of me like that?" Liu Jianan blinked innocently.

Just when Duan Haiping thought that he was being mean and was about to apologize, he heard the boy continue, "I know that worm meat is edible, and we have delicious dishes made from sandworms. I just want you to taste it to see if it tastes good and if it is poisonous."

Duan Haiping: "..."

He was amused by Liu Jianan: "Why is my life not a life?"

Liu Jianan swallowed the soup in his mouth, rolled the milky white soup stains left at the corners of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, turned his head and answered seriously: "Your life is in my hands, not in the hands of God." Duan Haiping

stared at the corners of the boy's lips, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and his eyes seemed to be brewing a storm.

The other party had no idea how tempting the scene just now was to him, and he couldn't help but imagine it.

He lowered his eyes, hiding his uncontrollable desire and unspeakable thoughts deep in his heart, fearing that the beautiful boy in front of him would see and scare him.

"Eat quickly, or there will be no more," Liu Jianan reminded him with a smile, "My team is full of wolves and tigers."

Duan Haiping raised his head and drank the meat soup in the bowl, trying to divert his attention by satisfying his appetite.

After drinking two large bowls in a row, his restless mood finally calmed down.

Liu Jianan shook his head and said jokingly, "You little brats are really eating me up. Such a big pot of insect meat was eaten up by you guys not long after it was taken out of the pot!"

Huang Dabai smiled innocently and said, "I'm sorry, boss. I eat too much."

Black Whirlwind rubbed his belly, "The meat of this mutated ladybug is so delicious. We should hunt more as reserve food when we have the chance!"

Hu Deyi blew his beard and glared, "Anzi, who did you say was me just now?"

Liu Jianan laughed, "You are, you are!"

"You still want to take advantage of me," Hu Deyi pointed at the pot, "I'll punish you by washing the pot."

Liu Jianan had to pick up the pot obediently, "Sister Zhang."

Zhang Yaoyao smiled knowingly, "Here I come."

As she spoke, she injected her water-based supernatural power into the pot.

Compared to the rain outside, this clean water without impurities is of course cleaner.

Liu Jianan found a steel wire ball and a scouring pad from the pile of supplies and started working skillfully.

Duan Haiping rolled up his sleeves: "Let me help you."

"It's just washing a pot, why do I need you to help me?" Liu Jianan raised his head with a smile and inadvertently met the man's eyes.

They were very close, so close that only one of them needed to take another step forward to have close contact.

But no one shortened this distance.

They quickly looked away, but their red ears revealed the ripples of their moods.

"The equipment has been repaired, everyone please come over." Tang Yunfeng's call suddenly rang.

Liu Jianan was about to take Xiao Duan in, but when he looked up, he found that the man had disappeared.

Did three hours pass so quickly?

He stroked his chest, feeling a little disappointed.

Well, and the feeling of touching someone else's and your own is different.

Back inside the signal station, Liu Jianan took a look at the simple equipment that had been built and did not raise any questions.

After all, he was a layman in this area, so he should not cause trouble for others.

Tang Yunfeng told everyone: "We have sent out the distress signal. The question now is, should we stay here and wait for the headquarters signal, or return to the base to continue watching the Luo family?"

Liu Jianan asked back: "What do you think, Captain Tang?"

"There is the aura of advanced mutants around this signal station. I think it should be relatively safe in the short term. Why don't we take turns on duty, so that neither side will be delayed." Tang Yunfeng suggested.

Liu Jianan nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with Captain Tang's arrangement.

As for how to take turns, it is a small matter, and we can talk about it in detail later.

At this moment, Luo Xinghe, who had been acting as a background board and didn't say much, suddenly spoke up: "No, it's too late."

Liu Jianan looked at him in confusion: "Luo Xinghe, what do you mean by too late? Explain it clearly."

Luo Xinghe pursed his lips, as if he had made a very important decision: "It's too late. Even if your headquarters sends reinforcements, it will take at least three or four days from the provincial capital to Micheng under the air restriction."

"I'm afraid it will be more than that," Xu Zhaoxin calculated briefly, "The meteorite rain at the beginning of the end of the world is likely to have damaged the rails in various cities."

"Even if the army takes action, they will rush to repair the rails and repair them in time."

"After the heavy snowfall, the rails in many tunnels were directly buried by the snow, which is more likely to cause mountain collapse."

Luo Xinghe nodded: "Mr. Xu is right."

Liu Jianan looked at Xu Zhaoxin: "Can you calculate how long it will take for the headquarters to send reinforcements?"

Xu Zhaoxin used his supernatural powers and gave a desperate answer after a moment: "At least half a month."

Tang Yunfeng pondered for a long time: "We can wait for half a month, but we can't force you to wait with us."

Half a month is indeed too long.

Liu Jianan frowned slightly. The geographical location of Shu Province is low, and it is a basin with high mountains and low in the middle. Once the rainstorm comes, it will be more difficult for them to leave.

So his original plan was to leave Shu Province before the rainstorm.

There is still a month before the rainstorm. It is quite unwise to waste the precious half a month in Micheng.

While thinking, Luo Xinghe spoke again: "But I heard from my father before that the Luo family will conquer a Lingbao secret realm in three days."

Liu Jianan was stunned: "What did you say, Lingbao secret realm?"

Luo Xinghe nodded: "Yes, I, I am afraid that if I tell you about the Lingbao secret realm, you will turn around and look for Luo Wenxuan to cooperate, so I concealed it."

So that's it.

Liu Jianan finally understood why the spy organization that had been lurking for a long time suddenly made such a big move.

First, they murdered the former head of the Luo family, and then promoted Luo Wenxuan to the position.

All of this was to serve the purpose of seizing the Lingbao.

Luo Xinghe's father was likely to have noticed the spy organization's plan and was unwilling to hand over the Lingbao to the spy organization, so he wanted to pass the news on.

That's why he was killed to silence them!
