Nearly an hour after Song Xian descended the mountain, he returned to the mountain. Li Ke told him his location, and Song Xian ran up the mountain. When he saw Li Ke at the top, he took a breath and climbed up in one go. His clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
Li Ke told him to rest for a while in the shade of the mountain and tidy himself up before replying. It was a little after seven in the morning, the sun was rising, and the temperature was 63 degrees Celsius. Li Ke was only slightly sweating under these conditions, indicating that her body was adapting very well.
Song Xian wiped the sweat from his hands, took out a written report in a waterproof bag from his pocket and handed it to Li Ke. Li Ke reached out and took it, unfolded it and began to read the information conveyed on it.
Li Ke looked at the description of the watery parasitic eggs, the boss's research team, the purpose of the brother and sister, and the suspicions that Lin Shuang and Qiu Feng, who had suddenly returned, might have about the boss's identity. Everything was written in great detail.
Li Ke's eyes lingered on a name for a long time. The brother and sister were named Chen Qi. Li Ke compared the image of Chen Qi with his memory of his fair skin and tender flesh with what he saw under the wall that day, and it was really hard to find any similarities.
But Li Ke's intuition told her that this Chen Qi was her younger brother from the same mother, Chen Qi. What had he gone through to become like this? And the message said that he was really mute.
They sealed away the watery parasitic eggs. The younger sister, Shui Qing, was the main person in charge, while Chen Qi followed her as her protector and assistant.
According to Shui Qing's confession, they were acting on orders from above to spread these parasitic eggs into the three strongholds in the mountains, causing the people there to become infected and lose their ability to fight off the disease.
Their original plan was to gradually integrate into the community, figure out the water storage pools, and find a way to pour the parasitic eggs into the water to spread the infection. Unfortunately, the people here were too wary.
Lin Shuang, who has returned, is Qiu Feng's half-sister. Lin Nuo and she are her biological siblings. She appears in the town to warn the townspeople that someone wants to infect them with parasitic eggs and that they should take precautions.
As for the boss's hideout, according to her confession, this was her first time going out. To maintain secrecy, she was unconscious when she was sent out, so even if she wanted to confess, she couldn't. Qiu Feng and Niu Dazhuang both believed that what Lin Shuang said was true.
The person Qiu Feng suspected, Teacher Wu, was someone he and his brothers found in a small shelter after the disaster, where they lived with the people there for a period of time.
During this time, Qiu Feng's younger brother Qiu Chen and Lin Shuang were still young. There was a teacher named Wu in the shelter who would often give lessons to some children. Qiu Feng let his two younger siblings also go and learn to pass the time, so that they wouldn't keep nagging him to go out with them to find supplies.
As winter was drawing to a close, their shelter, being situated in a slightly low-lying area, was at risk of flooding, so they decided to move to a new location further uphill.
On one occasion, he took a small group of his brothers out to search for supplies. When they returned, the others were gone. They followed the trail and found Lin Nuo unconscious in a puddle.
It was raining at the time, making it difficult for them to continue their pursuit. They could only find a place to take shelter from the rain and wait for Lin Nuo to wake up before asking him about the situation.
Later, not only did they fail to get any information from Lin Nuo, but all of their own men also fell into Lin Nuo's trap and fainted. They were then sent to the town to do hard labor.
Li Ke felt that Qiu Feng was really having a tough time as the eldest brother, as none of his three younger siblings were easy to take care of!
“Brother Li, this boss doesn’t sound like a good person, but he sent someone to warn us, so he doesn’t seem that bad. But having someone like this around all the time makes me uneasy,” Song Xian said after seeing Li Ke fold up the report.
Li Ke also felt that this guy was really difficult to deal with: "We have to find him first. We heard this information from other people, and we still need to verify its authenticity."
Go down the mountain and have them knock the brother and sister unconscious and hand them over to you. Remember to have them cover their heads and faces and gag their mouths. Once you receive them, fire a signal flare, and I will come down the mountain to pick them up.
Be cautious, don't give them a chance to retaliate. If something unexpected happens, prioritize your own safety.
