The more than 3,000 people sent by Changjing will not arrive in Taoyang until early November, so building houses and training grounds for them can be delayed for a few days.
The most urgent task is to find Jiang Tong.
After leaving the old chief's office, Su Tao saw Gu Mingchi, who was tall and slender, wearing a black and gray windbreaker, silver-rimmed glasses, and with his hands in his pockets.
When he saw her coming out, he raised his chin and said, "I'll take you there."
Su Tao asked, "Is there anything else that we haven't discussed at the meeting?"
So much so that we have to talk about it on the way back?
Obviously not. Gu Mingchi: “Yes.”
Su Tao had no choice but to decline Pei Dong's offer to send her off and got into Gu Mingchi's car.
As soon as the car started, Su Tao stared at him, with the words "If you have something to say, tell me quickly" almost written on her face.
Gu Mingchi racked his brains: "I forgot to ask you at the meeting. There are many seafood specialties in the coastal areas. Is there anything you want when the convoy goes this time?"
Su Tao waved her hands: "No, no, as long as I can bring back the crystal core, I don't want anything else. Is that all? Is there anything else?"
Gu Mingchi really couldn't make up any more stories, so he sent the man back to Taoyang in silence.
Looking at Su Tao's back as she hurriedly got off the car, he fell into deep thought. Should he cultivate his chatting skills?
Su Tao didn't take this matter to heart at all. He went to see Mr. Mei as soon as he returned to Taoyang. He first briefly told Mr. Mei about the need for advance deployment and planning for the 3,000 people to move into Taoyang, and asked Mr. Mei to make the design drawings first.
When Mei's eldest disciple Zheng Xing heard that there was a new project, his eyes lit up.
Elder Mei patted Zheng Xing on the shoulder and said, "You've been studying for a while now. You'll be the main designer of this project, and I'll be your assistant."
Zheng Xing suddenly became panicked: "You should come."
Master Mei laughed twice, gave his apprentice a few words, and then sent him away. He said to Su Tao:
"Let's go. Xiao Pan came to me in my dream again last night. In the dream, she apologized and said that she gave birth to a bad boy. She also urged me to go see that bad boy. Even the dead can't rest in peace. They can't rest in peace."
Su Tao silently stroked him as they walked towards the experimental base, contacting Chen Wencheng to lead them to the deepest part of the laboratory.
As the heavy security doors opened one after another, Su Tao saw Bone Wing again.
The difference from last time was that this time she saw shattered bone wings.
Its body was divided into several parts, and its pair of wings were soaked in different jars. One of the wings even had a wound cut in it and was filled with tubes.
Its body was naked, with a big hole in its back, filled with many instruments and tubes that Su Tao could not understand.
In addition, there are many bones and joints displayed on the operating table next to it, which seem to have been taken from it.
Bone Wing closed his eyes and lay calmly in the blue-green liquid, seemingly without any attack power or danger.
Its facial features are so human-like that it seems to be just a handsome young man.
Su Tao thought of Jiang Tong and her expression changed slightly.
She asked the busy Shen Wencheng, "Is it still alive?"
Shen Wencheng looked up at the bone wing she pointed at, nodded and said, "It's still alive. If it died, it would have no research value. I won't let it die for a while."
After saying that, Shen Wencheng lowered his head and went back to work. He looked at the "samples" in his hands, his eyes full of light.
Su Tao was silent for a moment and then asked, "Does it feel pain?"
Shen Wencheng said casually: "There should be."
Su Tao immediately stopped talking and stopped asking any more questions.
Old Mei glanced at Gu Yi from a distance, said nothing, and walked away with a hunched back and a cane.
Su Tao followed him.
The experimental base is a place where there is both cruelty and hope.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Shen Wencheng put down his work and escorted them out of the base.
"Boss Su, about the second sample." Chen Wencheng looked at Su Tao hesitantly and hopefully.
Su Tao simply said, "It will be done as soon as possible. Just focus on your research. In addition, Changjing will send a lot of top talents to support us in a while, so you don't have to worry about manpower. The equipment and instruments will also be in place in one go."
Shen Wencheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but grab Su Tao's hand: "Boss Su, we will definitely succeed. Tao Yang's name will leave a strong mark in the entire history of the end of mankind."
He decided to reduce his sleep time by two hours starting from today so that that day would come as soon as possible!
After hearing what he said, Su Tao felt excited and a little complicated.
After leaving the experimental base, Elder Mei leaned on his cane, looked up at the blue sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tao girl, I actually have two wishes right now. One is to go see that evildoer and let Xiao Pan feel at ease down there, and the other is to bring Zheng Xing out as a disciple. Now the first one has been completed, and the second one will be soon. I'm so happy."
He pounded his fist on his chest.
Su Tao was also happy for him and couldn't help but think of her own wish.
What is her wish?
At first, I just wanted to escape from the Su family and have a small room of my own.
Now, with the system, so many close friends and tenants, and the President's words, her wish had unknowingly grown a little—she wanted to end this damn apocalypse as soon as possible.
Mr. Mei walked away with a cane, the setting sun lengthening his back, looking a little lonely and relaxed.
If Zheng Xing can perfectly complete the planning and design this time, he will be able to graduate, and Mr. Mei’s retirement life will truly begin.
That night, there was still no news about Jiang Tong from Dongyang, and the people Su Tao sent out did not find any clues.
So they had no choice but to let Lingyu conduct a carpet search, and at the same time spread the news that Jiang Yu was seriously injured and dying.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if Jiang Tong doesn't show up, he will leave some clues after hearing the news.
Lingyu began the search mission with trepidation, but every day when he came back he would grumble in fear for a while:
"Lingyu is afraid, Lingyu is afraid!"
"She wants to kill me, kill me!"
Then he started a hunger strike.
I don’t even eat my favorite strawberries.
It was frightened by the look in Painted Skin's eyes that day. Whenever it mentioned looking for Jiang Tong, it would think of Painted Skin's look of eating birds.
Su Tao really couldn't bear it, so she had to give up after persisting for two days.
She turned her gaze to the black sesame seeds licking the chili peppers.
Heizhima paused licking his fur, then turned and ran away.
In the evening, Su Tao told this to Shi Zijin. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Lingyu and Heizhima have a strong sense of danger, and the strength of this Painted Skin is unfathomable. Don't provoke her. Leave the task of finding Jiang Tong to me."
Su Tao originally wanted to say, what use can a dead ghost like you be?
But on second thought, this damn ghost can float around at night, which does make it easier to find people.
And even if they were to fight Jiang Tong and Painted Skin, what could they do to a ghost? They would just scatter after a few punches, wasting their energy.
Su Tao was very pleased: "Work hard, and from now on, at 7 o'clock every day, as soon as it gets dark, you will come to my place to clock in, and then go find someone."
Shi Zijin felt something was not right when she called him out of the door. When he looked at the dark night sky, he realized belatedly that he was being ordered to do some work.
Or night shift?
Late at night, in a dark place
Painted Skin looked at Jiang Tong in surprise, frowning and asking, "Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
Jiang Tong simply asked, "What will happen if I go to Taoyang now?"
Painted Skin sneered, "You'll be surrounded by stupid humans. I advise you not to get close to that damn place called Taoyang. From what I've heard, there's a protective shield there. No one from outside can get in, and if they don't let you out, don't even think about escaping."
Jiang Tong said stubbornly: "I have to go, my brother is dying."
Painted Skin was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful face began to twist.
She cursed Jiang Tong: "Bastard!"
