After waiting for a while, an electric motorcycle finally came towards them. Lu Yuan looked back and saw that the rider was wearing a helmet and a dark cotton coat. From a distance, it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female, but he looked exceptionally dashing.
"Uncle Chen, what does this person do?" Lu Yuan asked curiously.
After all, the team already has two shareholders, a guide leading the team, and a security guard, so the personnel configuration is already quite good. Lu Yuan couldn't guess who else was coming.
Chen Kaiming smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough, and you'll even know this person!"
"Huh? I know him? No way?"
The electric motorcycle stopped right next to the SUV. Everyone got off and helped load the small tools that were on the back of the vehicle onto it. Then the person got off the motorcycle.
Lu Yuan followed Chen Kaiming out of the car and came to the man's side.
With a smile on his face, Chen Kaiming walked up to the man and gently brushed some volcanic ash off his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, sir, I'm late. There were a few types of measuring equipment that I couldn't find in the warehouse. I was going to call them!"
Lu Yuan was startled. Uncle? This woman just called Chen Kaiming her uncle. What's going on? He didn't recall ever hearing Chen Kaiming mention that he had a niece in District 5!
Chen Kaiming pulled the other person's hand and brought them to Lu Yuan, introducing them: "Come, come, Lu Yuan, let me introduce you. This is my niece, Chen Yan! Yanzi, this is Lu Yuan, the major shareholder of our mining area. You should know him!"
"What? You are... Chen Yan?" Lu Yuan was so shocked that his mouth dropped open, and he could hardly believe it.
Chen Yan took off her helmet and looked at Lu Yuan with a big smile: "Now you believe me, right? Haha!"
"Uncle Chen, you never mentioned you had a niece! And Chen Yan, didn't you say you had no family in District Five? Aren't your family all in Beijing? How come you suddenly have an uncle like this? I can't accept it!"
Chen Kaiming explained with a smile, "I used to hide my position from the outside world because I was worried that it might cause trouble for Yanzi. Now that I'm in this situation, there's nothing to worry about anymore! It's not too late to say it now!"
"Alright! This is indeed somewhat unexpected! So, Chen Yan, you've finished your work at the research institute this time?"
Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, ever since I learned about my uncle's accident, I've sped up my work. Anyway, I don't have a very good impression of those high-ranking officials in District 5. Official matters still need to be addressed, after all, it concerns the lives of millions of people in District 5, and I can't treat it lightly. But now that things are done, I've submitted my resignation, so the higher-ups don't have any objections! My uncle said he wants to build a mine, and I have some knowledge in this area, so I'll help him out and see if there's anything I can do to help!"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, I really didn't realize you knew so much! You're a top student!"
"What kind of high-achieving student am I? I'm just an ordinary researcher! Well, it's getting late, Uncle, let's hurry up and set off to try and choose a location as soon as possible. This location selection issue is quite troublesome. We need to determine the location as quickly as possible. I suspect that these minerals are very unstable. It is very likely that some of the catalytic properties in the ore will weaken over time, and then it will be difficult for us to obtain high-quality ore!"
"Well, now that we've finished introducing ourselves, let's get going! Without further ado, let's get ready to go!" Chen Kaiming waved his hand, and then everyone got into the car.
...
It's the same old place, the border of the restricted area, and the same old border guards, just with a different name.
After Chen Kaiming got out of the car, he immediately showed his pass. The guards didn't even check it. They bowed and scraped and saw everyone off. This made Lu Yuan feel a little depressed. Could it be that the pass he carried during the last arrest mission was a fake?
After leaving the border restricted area, the car drove for about ten minutes and then arrived at the edge of a rift valley.
The group got out of the car and walked to the edge of the rift. They immediately saw that the entire rift was filled with a thick black fog. Lu Yuan knew that this was poisonous fog, and it was this very thing that had almost killed everyone last time. Upon seeing the poisonous fog again, Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a step back, afraid that he might accidentally inhale it.
To Lu Yuan's surprise, Chen Yan was not afraid of the poisonous fog. Instead, she took out a container for holding the gas from the box, connected it to the car's power supply, and hung a tube down into it. The moment she pressed the button, thick black fog was sucked into the container, which made Lu Yuan's heart pound with fear.
"Hey, hey, hey, this thing is pretty dangerous, you'd better be careful!" Lu Yuan kindly reminded him.
Chen Yan wiped her face with her hand, turned around and smiled, "It's okay, this thing is very well sealed, don't worry. I'm just collecting some experimental samples to take back and see what this toxic fog is made of, and see if it can be used in other places."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but think to himself: This thing can be used for other things? It's probably only really useful for killing people!
After Yanzi finished collecting a whole can of poisonous fog, everyone got back into the car. In order to find a place free of poisonous fog, the car drove for more than a hundred miles before finally encountering a place where the poisonous fog was relatively weak. Looking at the jagged, rocky ravine, Lu Yuan frowned. This place had not been cultivated by humans and was full of ruins left by earthquakes. The surrounding area was a beach of gravel, and the car was extremely bumpy. It was only after the car finally broke down that everyone had to stop to inspect it.
