The team leader decides how to settle the group mission. Originally, the mission was supposed to last for half a month to be considered complete, but because they wanted to get rid of the troublesome professor, the team leader settled Jiang Shuyin's mission ahead of schedule and told her to quickly take the professor and his group away.
Jiang Shuyin had no objection: "Then tell them that if they drive behind me, they will not be responsible for any issues other than safety."
The captain gave an OK sign.
The young man, having somehow gotten wind of the situation, wanted to go with her: "I can help you look after the kids. You can take me back with you too. I live in the Southern Base X34-3736."
"You've completed your mission too?" Jiang Shu asked.
The young man shook his head: "If it weren't for you here, I probably wouldn't have been able to stay a day longer. I'm not capable of dying here. I might as well go back and find another way to survive."
She does have a good sense of self-awareness. Jiang Shuyin then asked, "How did you make money before, and how did you buy a house?"
The young man bit his lip, hesitated for a long time before finally stammering, "...Someone raped me...After I successfully reported it, the other party compensated me. I was afraid someone would take it away, so I bought a house and came out to avoid the limelight."
Jiang Shuyin's eyes widened involuntarily, then she pursed her lips: "It's only been a week now, what if they still won't let you go back now?"
The young man lowered his head: "The mission to rescue the professor is worth 10,000 mission points per person. I can buy good things and hide at home for a few months. If they still want to cause me trouble, then... there's nothing I can do."
Seeing Jiang Shuyin remain silent, he quickly explained, "Just drop me off outside the base. I'll ride in the professor's car and won't cause you any trouble."
"That's not what I meant. Go pack your things and leave right away."
The moonlight faded, and the sky gradually brightened.
While the young man went back to pack his things, Jiang Shu led him over to greet the professor's team. The group was still asleep, dozing off against the window or against the backrest.
She banged on the glass to wake them up and said to her male assistant by the window, "We're leaving for the southern base right away. Whoever drives, get ready quickly, or we'll have to wait another two weeks."
The male assistant had no say and didn't dare to wake the teacher, so he woke up his senior brother and repeated Jiang Shuyin's words: "...Senior brother, should we tell the teacher?"
"No need, the teacher has a bad temper when he wakes up, we can't afford to mess with him." The senior student pinched the bridge of his nose to clear his mind, put on his glasses, and got into the driver's seat.
Seeing the car in front of him start and turn on its lights, he also started his car and shifted gears.
The seats in Jiang Shuyin's car were all occupied by the sleeping little ones, leaving only the front passenger seat. The young man looked at her with questioning eyes, and Jiang Shuyin lowered her eyes and nodded.
This location... never mind.
"System, plan my route to the Southern Base, prioritizing the one with the shortest travel time."
The young man was drawn in by her words and looked curiously at the bracelet, which indeed displayed a route as she spoke.
"The entire journey is 576km and is expected to take 7 hours and 33 minutes. Turn right after 500 meters ahead."
After daybreak, the sunlight was very strong, so bright that it was dazzling and even affected driving. The car was also very hot, even though it was late autumn in November, and the air conditioning had to be turned on to cool it down.
Jiang Shuyin sensed something was wrong, so she flipped down the sun visor and continued driving for another half hour. Suddenly, the car behind them started honking, and it kept going on and on, waking up Heimei, ICE, and Shui Ning. They rubbed their eyes and pouted, "So noisy~"
Jiang Shuyin turned the car around and asked them, "You'd better have something to do, or I'll hold you accountable for waking up the child."
The bearded man rolled his eyes: "Madam, please don't be so aggressive. I just want to remind you that the sun is malfunctioning. Moonlight can help plants and animals evolve, and I want to try whether sunlight can help humans evolve."
The bearded man handed over his apprentice, who sat cross-legged in the scorching sun to meditate. Within seconds, his face turned bright red, and the back of his clothes was soaked with sweat.
"No, I'll get dehydrated or suffer heatstroke if this continues." The bearded man struggled to his feet and walked to the shade of a tree.
His apprentice is still persisting.
A few minutes later, people started to get up. The two remaining assistants with superpowers didn't seem to be greatly affected, except for some sunburn on their cheeks.
Jiang Shuyin's eyes flickered slightly. She lowered her gaze and thought for a moment. With a try-it-out attitude, she stood in the sun. She didn't plan to adopt a meditation posture. She just stood there, raising her hands to increase the area exposed to sunlight.
In an instant, you can clearly feel the warm sun seeping from the skin into the muscles and fascia and into the bone marrow. Blood flow seems to speed up and the muscles relax more.
She closed her eyes, her vision darkened, and she looked inward at her body. When she focused her gaze on a certain muscle, a warm current would concentrate on that area, as comfortable as a massage with just the right amount of pressure, making her want to sigh.
"Mentor! It really works! My water flow seems to have become stronger, probably by 1mm." The researchers' eyes are like rulers.
The other is the wood element, and the effect of the power is not obvious: "It just feels like the muscle soreness from not sleeping well in the car has disappeared."
The bearded man immediately took out his phone, typed in a message, and then turned on the recorder, handing it to his two assistants: "Tell me your feelings in detail. I will mention your names in the paper. It's not impossible for you to be third, fourth, or even fourth authors."
Jiang Shuyin slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the time, and realized that ten minutes had passed in just a short while.
Is this what cultivation is?
After finishing his work, the bearded man happily got into the car to organize the documents, and Jiang Shuyin continued on her way, as they were not far away.
As they approached the base, the young man reminded her, "Put me down. Don't let them find out that I have a relationship with you."
Jiang Shuyin put him down, and didn't let him get into the car behind.
After dropping the professor off, Jiang Shu took a photo, and the captain immediately transferred money to her with the message: "Welcome to Formation 033 again."
The professors made a major discovery and didn't care about Jiang Shuyin at all. They drove straight to the research institute. Since the bill had already been settled, Jiang Shuyin would rest there for one night and then go home.
The young man outside the base walked for about ten minutes before reaching the entrance, where he had the machine scan the chip on his arm.
"Name: Pei Yi, from the Southern Base, no special abilities."
“Welcome home, homeowner of X34-3736”
