The silver plane sped through the clouds.
Inside the cabin, a figure dressed in a retro plaid suit and wearing a gentleman's hat stood respectfully in front of Chu Liyue.
A wrinkled hand removed the round hat from the top of the head, revealing a familiar, aged face.
Shi Feng, a veteran of God's biochemical department, once acted as a contact in the Poison Mist Forest and Old Black Mountain, guiding Chu Liyue and Xiao Wujie.
Upon seeing Chu Liyue again, Shi Feng's eyes showed a hint of excitement. He bowed slightly and respectfully greeted her, "President Chu, it's been a long time."
Chu Liyue crossed her arms gracefully, still maintaining her aloof and indifferent demeanor. "Sit down."
Shi Feng agreed, then nodded and greeted Lin Qingyi and Leng Ruxue who were following him before sitting down respectfully.
He carefully placed a silver box at his feet, then folded his hands and placed his top hat on his lap before looking up at Chu Liyue.
"What's the current situation within God, especially in the bio-engineering department?"
With Xiao Qianshan injured and Wood Punch under control, Aisie Hall is all-powerful, though she remains outwardly indifferent. Behind the scenes, she will undoubtedly purge Xiao Qianshan and Wood Punch's influence.
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng's brows furrowed immediately, his fingers on his top hat tightened slightly, and his voice was heavy with indignation:
“At first, no one noticed anything unusual until people were placed under house arrest or even disappeared, at which point the organization members realized something was wrong.”
“There were all sorts of voices within the organization, but it was soon discovered that the victims were all concentrated in the inner circle of Qian Shan and Chairman Wood Punke.”
"After being discovered, Chairman Aisie Hall directly confronted her, brought him under her command, and handed over his power. Everything was peaceful then. Otherwise, she would directly take coercive measures."
"Qianshan and Chairman Wood Punk did not show up, and the people below tried to resist, but they were all brutally suppressed. Only a few people with extremely high technical skills and influence barely survived."
At this point, he bowed slightly to Chu Liyue, his tone grateful: "If President Chu hadn't reminded me, I probably would have already been killed."
After listening, Chu Liyue's gaze turned cold and deep, with a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes.
"President Chu, the main victims are concentrated in our Biochemical Department and Military Industry Department. In the Military Industry Department, Chairman Qian Shan was only injured and is expected to return to reorganize the situation."
"But on our side of the biochemistry department, we have absolutely no news from Chairman Wood Punk, and we see no hope at all."
"Within the department, besides the chairman, you have the highest level of authority, you..."
Shi Feng didn't finish speaking, but the expectation in his eyes was already self-evident.
Chu Liyue crossed her long legs, her long eyelashes slightly lowered, and said coldly, "Chairman Wood Punk has an extraordinary status in the secular world, and he will not be in any trouble for the time being."
“As for Aisie Hall…” Her eyes seemed to be frozen with frost, and her voice could freeze a person: “She will soon be gone…”
Shi Feng's eyes flashed with excitement. Only those who had personally encountered Aisie Hall knew how terrifying she was. He had experienced it firsthand, and he didn't even think anyone could handle Aisie Hall.
But he believed Chu Liyue when she said that.
The cabin was silent for a moment, the air cold and still, before Chu Liyue's deep voice rang out again: "Where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Shi Feng met her sharp gaze and quickly bent down to pick up the silver box at his feet.
He placed the box on the table, as if the contents were extremely important; the box was even equipped with a smart lock.
The unlocking process has three steps: first, you press your fingerprint; then, you enter your password; and finally, you unlock with your face.
With a "beep," the lock pivot turned, and Shi Feng raised his hand to open the box. Inside, a cylindrical vessel was filled with a vibrant green liquid, which looked full of life and lush and verdant.
"President Chu, I have prepared this reagent multiple times and it is supported by numerous experimental results. It can ensure the survival of plant organisms and promote flowering and fruiting."
As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, Chu Liyue nodded indifferently, but Lin Qingyi's eyes widened in surprise.
"Sister Chu, what do you want to do..."
Chu Liyue stared intently at the emerald green test liquid on the table, a cold glint in her eyes, and said coldly, "Without waiting for the Three Lives Flower to bloom, go directly into the Black Veil Rift Valley to retrieve the medicine."
*
Black Sand Rift Valley, a land forgotten beyond time, a desolate world sculpted by nature.
Yellow sand, like mist, blanketed the land, merging the sky and the ground into one, leaving only endless yellow in the world.
Amidst a stretch of yellow sand, the roar of engines filled the air as several off-road vehicles sped along like wild horses.
The wheels left long tracks on the loess soil, which were quickly buried by the blowing sand.
After a long while, the lead SUV stopped. A middle-aged man with a turban and a stubble beard, wearing a headscarf, rolled down the window. Gazing at the endless, rugged yellow sand ahead, his lips twitched, and he gritted his teeth.
"Damn it, his brother-in-law's house got flooded again."
He cursed twice, frowned, got out of the car, and quickly ran towards the car in the middle.
The car window rolled down, revealing Leng Ruxue's delicate and beautiful face. Looking at the unshaven man outside, she scratched her head, her tone irritated, and whispered into his ear:
"Hey uncle, you guys call yourselves locals, you think you can walk around here like nobody's business, how come you're so unreliable?"
"How many times have we stopped along the way?"
The man was taken aback by the shout, his expression stiffening. He scratched his face with his fingers and said awkwardly, "Miss, as you know, there are constant sandstorms here. The original roads are often buried, and the old roads may be blown away by another storm."
Leng Ruxue tapped the steering wheel with her small hands: "So this time it's...?"
The man replied in a hoarse voice, "The road ahead is flooded with sand."
Leng Ruxue glared at him with her big eyes: "Then hurry up and find a way, take a detour!"
The man licked his dry lips and stammered, "There is a path, but it's a narrow trail that you have to walk."
Leng Ruxue turned her gaze to Chu Liyue behind her. Chu Liyue raised her eyes and asked coldly, "How far are we from our destination?"
"It would take more than ten hours to hike there."
Chu Liyue frowned instantly.
Lin Qingyi looked up at the window, her eyes flickered, and said softly, "Brother, I think it's getting dark. It's not usually a good time to go out at night here, is it?"
The man nodded: "This young lady knows her stuff. The temperature in the valley is too low at night, and the wind is even stronger. It's generally not recommended to go out."
Lin Qingyi turned to Chu Liyue and suggested, "Sister Chu, let's rest here for the night. I encountered a sandstorm that flooded the road last time I came here."
"But the wind is strong here at night, and the road was blown open again after one night."
The man nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "What this young lady says is right, that's what I think too."
Leng Ruxue's eyes widened, and she gripped the steering wheel, demanding, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
The man shrank back, his eye twitched slightly, and he stammered, "You... are too fierce!"
Leng Ruxue inhaled and slapped her forehead.
Well, while exploring the desert, I even ran into a handsome young man who looked just like me.
