Chapter 499 The Sky (18)



A demon respectfully replied, "It is Mr. Han."

Chu Nian smiled and said, "Are you here to help with the move?"

The demon quickly replied, "Yes."

Chu Nian said, "Come in with me!" After saying that, she opened the door and entered the house, calling out to the two people who were busy inside, "Dad, Mom, I've hired a moving company."

Then, in the next fifteen minutes, Mr. and Mrs. Wu witnessed firsthand what the speed of a moving company was like.

When Chu Nian drove into Huai Mountain, Wu's parents were shocked, or rather, terrified, at the unfamiliar mountain road.

They knew what Huai Mountain meant, of course; they had heard that the monsters in Huai Mountain were just as numerous as those outside the heavens.

Mr. Wu couldn't help but ask, "Niannian, why did you bring your mother and me here?"

Chu Nian said, "The air here is good, and living here will be good for your and Mom's health. I've found a very safe place, and someone has already built the house, just waiting for our family to move in."

Mr. Wu asked, "Are there any safe places in these mountains?"

Chu Nian: "Don't worry, someone will guarantee our absolute safety."

Mr. Wu asked with concern, "Who is this person? Can they be trusted?"

Chu Nian smiled and replied, "Don't worry!"

There used to be no roads in Huai Mountain, and cars couldn't even drive up the mountain. But now things are different. A mountain road, just wide enough for one car to pass, has appeared and winds its way into the depths of Huai Mountain.

This was actually Chu Nian's first time driving into the mountains, but with her powerful mental abilities, she had already explored the mountain road very thoroughly. Most importantly, Lin Jingting had placed a restriction on this mountain road, making it completely undetectable to others.

Following this path, the car soon arrived at a villa.

"This...this is the new house that the military allocated to you?" Mr. Wu asked in shock.

Aunt Wu asked, "Daughter, are you really being transferred to a clerical position instead of getting a promotion?"

Chu Nian: "You can stay here for now. You can grow flowers and vegetables when you have nothing to do."

Aunt Wu frowned with worry and said, "Niannian, this place..." As she spoke, she looked around. The surrounding area was all mountains and forests, with only this one villa. "Is it really habitable?"

Mr. Wu also said, "I've heard that there are many monsters in Huai Mountain. If we stay here, aren't we just walking into the lion's den?!"

Chu Nian said, "Don't worry, I already told you we have people protecting our safety." Then she called out to the side, "You all come out!"

A group of people, men, women, and children, suddenly jumped out from behind a small hill not far away. In particular, two little kids standing at the front blinked their big eyes and curiously looked at the three people standing in front of the villa.

Mr. Wu suddenly realized, "So people actually live here."

Looking at the child sucking his thumb, Aunt Wu's heart melted. She beckoned to the child and said, "Come here, I have some snacks."

Little did they know that these were demons who had already taken human form.

Chu Nian smiled at them and said, "Please take good care of my parents in the future. They are just ordinary people."

An older woman smiled and said, "Miss Niannian, don't worry, Mr. Han has already instructed us. You can stay here with peace of mind from now on, and we will protect you."

Upon discovering that there were actually so many people living in these mountains, and not just their family, Mr. and Mrs. Wu finally felt relieved and allowed a group of little demons who had transformed into human form to move their belongings into their new home.

Aunt Wu also warmly prepared a sumptuous dinner to treat everyone.

A few days later, Qi Meili went to visit Chu Nian in the new house she had been assigned, only to find that there was no one there and no sign of anyone living there at all. She was very surprised and had no choice but to go to Chu Nian's office to find her.

Chu Nian said, "Oh, we've moved to a nice place. If you're free tonight, I'll take you back with me after get off work."

Qi Meili asked in surprise, "A nice place? Where is it?" In her opinion, the accommodations arranged by the military for the exploration department were already quite good, and there were very few better places to live.

Chu Nian smiled and said, "You'll know when we get there."

After getting off work that evening, Qi Meili followed Chu Nian into the mountains, feeling quite timid. To be honest, they had explored Huai Mountain several times with the team, but had never found a habitable place in the mountain.

And where did this mountain road come from?

Seeing the horrified look on her face, Chu Nian smiled faintly and said, "A friend of mine helped me find this place. There are indeed some unstable factors in Huai Mountain, but he has taken care of them for me."

Qi Meili stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, "The friend you're talking about, is it the one we met in the Abyss Cave when we encountered the beast tide during our last exploration?"

Chu Nian was surprised: "Was it so easy to guess it was him?"

Qi Meili: "Who else could it be but him? Do he and that man from the rescue team both live in Huai Mountain?"

Chu Nian was surprised again: "You guessed that too?"

Qi Meili: "I felt from the beginning that they were very different from us. Now that I think about it, they might be the original inhabitants of this Huai Mountain. Moreover, even if they have not been exposed to nuclear radiation and have not undergone any mutations, they are still more powerful than all of us."

Chu Nian smiled and said, "It seems you're a sensible person!"

Hearing her friend's praise, Qi Meili raised an eyebrow and smiled, then asked, "By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

Chu Nian asked, "What do you mean, what should we do?"

Qi Meili: "Do you really want to be a clerk for the rest of your life? Are you just going to waste all your powerful superpowers?"

Chu Nian: "I think being a clerk is much easier than risking my life with you guys all day long?"

Qi Meili scoffed and said, "Is that what you really think? You've always been concerned about your parents' health, haven't you? If there really is something in Huai Mountain..." She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you get the medicine that can cure your aunt and uncle from your old friend?"

"You even thought of that?" Chu Nian laughed out loud, "Meili, your IQ is pretty good, it's always on point."

Qi Meili: "Really? There really is a medicine that can cure all kinds of radiation sickness?"

Chu Nian said, "It can only slightly extend their lifespan." She paused, then added, "I'll try to get some for you later, so you can take it back to your parents."

Qi Meili said excitedly, "Great! I didn't expect there really was such a medicine."

Chu Nian: "This kind of medicine does exist, but it's not from Huai Mountain."

Qi Meili asked in surprise, "How so?"

Chu Nian: "The reason Huai Mountain has no radiation is because there is an ancient 'artifact' that can absorb radiation. And the reason they have medicine to prolong life is because they are cultivators, and the method they cultivate is to prolong life. However, the amount of these medicines that ordinary people can take is very limited, so the lifespan extension is also limited. You can't force things."
