The two remained silent until they drove to the place where the others had been looking for shelter.
Jensen's people found a hotel, but it was just a small guesthouse. For a small county town, it was already quite good to find such a clean and spacious place.
There was no one in the hotel, and the doors were wide open.
After entering, Jensen instructed everyone to eat and rest quickly, as they had to rush to the capital that evening.
Jason had a premonition that if he couldn't go back tonight, he might not be able to.
It was hot, and the hotel had neither air conditioning nor water, so everyone ate a little something and quickly closed their eyes to rest.
There are many rooms in the hotel, so there's no need to squeeze together; everyone can stay in whichever room they like.
Although it was somewhat underhanded, Xiao Jin had no intention of sharing weal and woe with Jian Sen and the others.
After entering the house, Xiao Jin locked the door from the inside, filled the bathtub with water, and took a bath. Although she was wearing protective clothing and there was no sweat on her body, she hadn't taken a bath for several days, so Xiao Jin was a little unaccustomed to it.
Sigh~
Xiao Jin was still sighing while soaking in the water.
It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!
It's only been a few months since she was reborn. She's endured all kinds of hardships before, so what's a few days without a shower now?
Xiao Jin had originally planned to rub the protective suit in water, but it didn't even get wet, so she had to give up on the idea.
Xiao Jin didn't have a good appetite, and the room wasn't well soundproofed, so she didn't eat anything with a strong smell.
A bowl of chilled cold noodles, half a watermelon, a plate of braised chicken feet, and finally a piece of chocolate mousse—after eating, Xiao Jin buried her head in bed and went to sleep.
Mao Liu, who also has plenty of space, stuffed a lot of things into the supermarket during his shopping spree, and this time he finally got to experience the convenience of having enough space.
He wasn't as extravagant as Xiao Jin, but he could still wipe his body with some water and then finish by holding a roast chicken and gnawing on it until his mouth was full of oil.
...
The high temperature was like a giant furnace, boiling every inch of air until it was scalding hot, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Jason and the others were woken up by the heat. When they opened their eyes, they found that it was already night outside. They checked the temperature and found that it had reached 50 degrees Celsius. Jason immediately woke everyone up and they packed up to prepare to leave.
Once in the car, Jason asked Xiao Jin in the back, "Are you alright? Are you hot? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just say so."
Xiao Jin waved his hand, while Mao Liu started complaining again.
Why are you only asking this expert? I'm hot too!
The car sped through the darkness. Since there were no other cars on the road, Jason increased his speed. The ever-rising temperature outside made him increasingly anxious.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened on the way, and the group arrived in the capital smoothly.
However, they encountered several groups of robbers along the way. These people were extremely vicious, and even though Jason and his men were holding guns, they continued to charge forward.
Left with no other option, Jason had to fire his gun.
Around four in the morning, as dawn broke, Jason and his group finally entered the capital city area.
Compared to other places, the surroundings became much calmer after entering the capital, but there were also many more checkpoints.
Seeing this, Jensen felt slightly relieved. It seemed that although things were chaotic outside, the capital city was still maintaining basic order.
According to regulations, Jensen and his group were stopped by checkpoints set up on the perimeter.
He immediately identified himself upon getting out of the car, and then successfully contacted the military region's higher-ups using the communication equipment in the sentry post.
The people above seemed to have been waiting for a long time. They were very happy to hear Jason's voice. After hearing that their mission was completed, they immediately ordered someone to come and pick them up.
"Tap tap tap!!"
Xiao Jin was suddenly knocked on the window next to her ear. She rolled down the window, and Jason withdrew his bent hand.
"We're almost there, when are you going to give me the stuff!" he said, glancing at Mao Liu inside.
Mao Liu glanced nervously at Xiao Jin, and seeing that she didn't react, he grinned and grinned foolishly at Jian Sen.
What is that? I don't know, don't look at me!
Jason's forehead twitched slightly, and the surging heat around him made it difficult for him to breathe.
He reached out and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Keeping that thing is useless to you; it will only bring you trouble. This place is different from other places."
Xiao Jin's eyes, as clear as autumn water, tilted slightly upwards: "Where are you taking these things?"
"The Imperial Capital Laboratory"
"Then we'll talk about it when we get to the lab!" With that, Xiao Jin rolled up the car window again.
Looking at the dark face outside, Mao Liu silently turned his head and squatted on the back seat, pretending to be a mushroom.
There was nothing they could do; their side quest required escorting people and providing medicine!
If they don't go to the lab, how will they complete their tasks?
Jensen truly didn't understand why Xiao Jin was still clinging to the potion even after they had already arrived in the capital. Logically, she should know that doing so would only bring her trouble.
Given her background and connection to Snow Labs, Jason hadn't yet figured out how to report this matter!
Xiao Jin insisted on going to the lab, and Jensen had no choice but to comply.
Not long after, the car sent by his superiors arrived. The door opened, and his familiar Secretary Sun stepped out.
"Jensen, hahaha, you're finally back!" Secretary Sun stood in front of Jensen with a smile. "How was your trip?"
His gaze then swept over the players behind Jensen.
Great, they're all back!
But then Secretary Sun's eyes widened suddenly when she saw Xiao Jin and the others.
How come there are more than a few?
He glanced at Jensen, who shook his head. He leaned closer to Secretary Sun and said, "These people's affairs are a bit complicated. I will personally report and explain to the higher-ups."
Secretary Sun sighed and nodded: "Okay, as long as you keep it in mind."
"That's settled then. According to the procedure, none of your people can go back yet. I won't handle the stuff; you can take it directly to the lab."
“Okay,” Jason replied.
