Chapter 257 Event Summary
Not long after the riot began, Cheng Sinian rushed directly to the car where Professor Kang and Professor Shen were and took them in.
"Is it the God of Wrath?" Professor Kang asked in a low voice with a serious face as he got out of the car.
"That should be correct." Cheng Sinian nodded, escorting Professor Kang and Professor Shen towards the RV. "The other party's intentions are unclear. Just in case, you and Professor Shen should go to our place for shelter."
Fortunately, the car that Professor Kang and Professor Shen were in was not far from the RV of Qiao Yu and others, and Cheng Sinian quickly walked over with the two professors.
Not far away, the five mercenaries were still in the convoy, attacking crazily as if possessed by the god of death, and every move was deadly.
The other mercenaries did not take any ruthless action out of consideration for their former comradeship.
In just a few minutes, more than a dozen mercenaries were either killed or seriously injured.
Seeing more and more injured mercenaries, Chu Yi gritted his teeth and ordered directly: "Don't show mercy, shoot them to death!"
After hearing this, everyone finally raised their guns and fired wildly at the five people.
Although the five mercenaries' abilities were enhanced by drugs, they were still unable to withstand the hail of bullets and were quickly shot to pieces.
After seeing that the five men had stopped moving, Chu Yi raised his hand to signal everyone to stop shooting.
Then he walked forward and looked through the bodies of the five mercenaries.
"Is there anything unusual?" Yan Zijin also walked forward at this time.
Chu Yi did not answer, but just shook his head with a gloomy expression.
Seeing this, Yan Zijin's expression became even more serious.
The biggest abnormality is the absence of any abnormality.
Yan Zijin glanced at everyone in the convoy with a gloomy look in his eyes, and finally fixed his gaze on the RV farthest from them.
At this time, besides the huge, eye-catching mutant black wolf, there were quite a few people standing next to the RV.
Qiao Yu and his companions all got out of the car, and Professor Kang and Professor Shen appeared beside them at some point and were surrounded by them.
Their expressions were calm and alert, but there was no surprise at all.
This made the deep look in Yan Zijin's eyes even darker.
Everything that just happened happened so quickly that it caught us off guard.
But why were Qiao Yu and the others so fearless in the face of danger, and even brought Professor Kang and Professor Shen over from the car?
Did they know something in advance?
Yan Zijin was lost in thought when he suddenly felt Jiang Zhan glance at him nonchalantly.
Just this one glance made Yan Zijin quickly come back to his senses and suddenly shift his gaze.
Yan Zijin didn't know why he suddenly shivered as if he was frightened.
His intuition has always been accurate and he has a keen sense of danger.
It was difficult for him to describe what the feeling was like, it was like... the fear of being suddenly surrounded by evil spirits.
Yan Zijin was not a person who liked to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige, but facing Jiang Zhan's two glances, he felt trembling from the bottom of his heart.
He had never felt such a dangerous aura from anyone else before...
Yan Zijin lowered his eyelashes silently, and secretly complained in his heart: No matter what, I must not become an enemy of this man in the future.
"...Captain Yan?"
"Hmm?" Yan Zijin came back to his senses and found that it was Chu Yi who called him, "Colonel Chu, what's wrong? Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
Chu Yi waved his hand, "It's okay, I said, we should set off."
Yan Zijin frowned, "What about these mercenaries..."
Chu Yi sighed lightly, "This matter is indeed strange, but we have a mission and cannot delay the convoy's journey. Let's observe while we go."
Yan Zijin originally wanted Chu Yi to ask Qiao Yu and the others, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud. He just nodded and said, "Okay, let's get on the road first."
Seeing that the commotion had subsided and there were no other suspicious movements for the time being, Qiao Yu relaxed a little.
After hearing Chu Yi say that he wanted to get back on the road, he did not object. After sending Professor Kang and Professor Shen back to the car, he returned to the RV and set off again.
"I always feel that... this is just the beginning."
Qiao Yu looked at the scene reversing outside the car window and murmured softly.
Cheng Sinian thought for two seconds after hearing this, then sat up straight and said seriously, "Since there's nothing else to do on the road right now, why don't we go through everything that happened before again?"
Qiao Yu nodded, and after signaling Jiang Zhan with his eyes to set up the mental barrier, he said in a deep voice: "Okay. You tell us, and we'll replenish it."
Cheng Sinian also nodded, "Then let's start from the beginning."
"First, there's the matter of Qi Yong and Meng Chao. Qi Yong was convicted of human trafficking and was silenced, dying of cyanide poisoning. While the murderer and motive are still unclear, we do know they were targeting him for human trafficking and even took his trade list."
"Although there's no definitive evidence yet, based on Meng Chao's confession, I believe that drugs like base drugs, soul-destroying drugs, and soul-stealing drugs had already appeared in the world at that time."
Yu Qingchuan nodded, "I agree with this."
"Based on experience, for a base drug to be able to be used in combination with a variety of different drugs, it must have gone through many improvements."
So this medicine must have existed very early.
Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Continue."
"Then there was the mission at Mingxia Mountain."
"That mission was really the starting point for our discovery of this drug."
"Later, we followed some clues and tracked down Xia Chao and Xia Mu. We then used these clues to find the black market and Cao Yanba."
"Only here did we officially know the origin and efficacy of these medicines."
"Yeah, that's right." Qiao Yu continued to nod.
"Later..." Cheng Sinian paused, glancing at Hua Yue who was listening quietly beside him, and then automatically skipped the part about Hua Yue's biological mother. "Then it was the mysterious man who was monitoring us."
"Although I'm not sure if that man is the same one Wang Zha tracked down two days ago, my intuition tells me that even if they're not the same person, they're at least related."
"Yes." Yu Qingchuan nodded again.
"Then there was the mutant plant discovered the night before yesterday and the mercenary incident today."
Cheng Sinian frowned slightly when he said this. "But if I follow this process, it seems that apart from the drug, these events don't have any necessary connection."
"Is there something wrong with our direction?"
Yu Qingchuan frowned upon hearing this, "But in my opinion, our direction is correct."
"The direction should be correct." Qiao Yu whispered, "It's just that I always feel that there seems to be a missing link in these events, or... a key figure."
