Chapter 347 Earthquake. Symbolic clues
Chu An woke up the next day and found a missed call on his phone. It was from Li Qing, so he called back immediately. Maybe the signal on the other end was not good, indicating that the service area was out of range.
She scratched her head. Did she sleep so soundly last night that she didn’t even hear the phone ringing?
He must have been fed up with Wang!!!
Last night, when she fell asleep, the five people in the space continued to drink. Wang drank too much and hugged Shen Xun, crying and saying words she couldn't understand.
If they can survive without food, how can they get drunk???
Chu An shook his head hurriedly, thinking it was not a good idea to think too much about it.
She got dressed and got out of bed. Gu Ye had prepared breakfast and was outside checking the traps. It seemed... he had caught a... little leopard?
She was afraid that Gu Ye might get hurt, so she hurried out. When she got closer, she realized that it was not a leopard.
It has pointed ears and a short tail, long and drooping sideburns on its cheeks, pink-brown hair on its back, and darker hair in the middle of its back. This is a lynx cat.
The trap had clamped its leg so deep that the bone was visible, but it just kept breathing heavily and didn't roar, otherwise the two men would have discovered it last night.
"I'll put it into space."
"Be careful, I just wanted to let it go, but there was no way I could get close."
"Yeah." Chu An took out a pair of gloves from the space and put them on, trying to touch it. The lynx cat struggled and bit her hand, and the wound was torn again.
It seemed as if it felt no pain and could only grimace.
Chu An hardened his heart and slapped it in the face, then put it into the space and asked someone who was still complaining to help bandage it and release it.
…
The two returned to the RV, and Chu An called Li Qing again, but he was still not in the service area.
"Who are you calling?" Gu Ye served a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her. The other side dishes were leftovers from last night.
"Li Qing, he called me last night, but I was... so soundly asleep that I didn't hear it."
Chu An was eating while sending messages to Li Qing. Could it be that he encountered some trouble?
When they were clearing the table after dinner, Li Qing called. Chu An hurriedly picked up the phone. It was very noisy on the other end of the line, and someone was cursing.
"What's wrong?" Chu An asked.
"Xiao An, can you hear me?" Li Qing's voice was very loud. The signal on his end was not good, so he assumed Chu An couldn't hear him either. He almost broke his throat.
Chu An understood and put his phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone. "I can hear you. You don't have to be so loud."
"Ah - that, I found the symbol you asked me to look for before. It's an organization called the Infinite Alliance." Li Qing's voice was a little softer, but it still made Chu An's head buzz.
The person who killed Lao Chu had the mark of the Infinite Alliance on his body, and Lao Chu is now in the Infinite Alliance. No wonder she always felt something was wrong. Now all the unreasonable things can be explained.
"Hello, Xiao An...can you hear me?" Li Qing asked again when he didn't get a response.
"Yes." Chu An's voice was a little hoarse, "Is there any other information about this organization?"
"Ah, yes. This organization is now in the Shengtang base, with more than a dozen scavenging teams. The leader is a big family from Haicheng in the past. It turns out that this family makes robots..."
The voice on the other end of the phone became quieter, as if someone interrupted it. Then Dabao's voice came, "Sister An, I'm engaged in the development of smart devices and artificial intelligence, and I have a great influence in Haicheng."
Dabao finished speaking and turned back to Li Qing, "Yes... that's what they do. It's a fairly formal company, at least on the surface. So don't worry, maybe Uncle Chu has joined their scavenging team, but he didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry."
This is possible, but what can Lao Chu do in the scavenging team? Apart from painting, he is only good at talking and pleasing women.
Woman—Family—Situ—Wife.
Based on all the information now, there are two possibilities.
The first is that Lao Chu really married a woman from the Situ family and joined the Infinite Alliance. His life was pretty good at the moment, but he was killed when the organization split. The second was that he was captured by the Infinite Alliance because of the woman from the Situ family, his movements were restricted, and he was finally killed during the acid rain period.
Her intuition told her that she was more inclined to the latter.
"Brother Qing, is there anything else?"
"Hello... The signal is bad, Xiao An, you have to be safe. We are going to go to the mountains now. I will contact you when we get out. I'm hanging up now."
“…”
The signal was interrupted, and Chu An hurriedly checked the Situ family's companies. Seventy percent of the news was negative, with company insider information and family scandals accounting for more than half. Another one was about the development of intelligent robots. The Situ family wanted to develop slave-type robots that would never betray them, which was criticized by some experts.
Gu Ye also heard what Li Qing said. After cleaning up the dishes, he immediately drove off. The sooner he arrived in Anshi, the sooner he could get to know the truth.
"Xiao An, Uncle Chu is a lucky man, everything will be fine."
"Well, he hasn't died yet, there's still a chance." Chu An continued browsing the web and checking the Sheng Tang base. The base was very large, at least five C city bases, with complete internal facilities. All the news online was positive, without even any complaints from survivors. It looked fake at first glance and had no reference value at all.
"Xiao An, did I die in my previous life?" Gu Ye suddenly asked.
Chu An was stunned for a moment, then took his phone to the passenger seat. That dream was probably 90% true.
"I... don't know." Chu An still didn't reveal her cruel side. Some things were enough for her to bear alone. "You, Zhuona and I haven't seen each other since the end of the world."
Gu Ye tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his face still calm, and he even said in a flattering way, "So in this life, did you come back to find us on purpose?"
Chu An hummed, paused for a few seconds and said again, "I came here specifically to find you."
"Really?" Gu Ye's voice rose a few degrees, and he was obviously very happy. "Then I am really lucky. I persisted and waited for you."
Chu An was still in shock, as she almost lost her dog. After a day of traveling, they returned to Tianchi Town. Since this was the only way to go, they had no choice but to give it a try.
Chu An opened the machine gun position on the roof of the car and set up the machine gun. It was just a small town, it was impossible that he was not afraid of guns.
As expected, this time no one dared to intercept them.
Chu An stood at the machine gun position with half of his body sticking out of the car roof. He could see human figures in the building and quite a few people following them.
So what? Whoever comes out will die.
It took the two of them an hour to get through the town. There were three or four roadblocks on the road, all of which were knocked away. The road outside the town was still intact, at least both lanes were usable.
When they left the town, many people came out from behind the car and watched them go away.
"Brother, this car is really awesome. Are we just going to let them go?" A bearded subordinate was a little unwilling.
