Abandoned factory
Xiao Qingcen sat on Shang Yiqi's arm, and the other hand supported Wang's body and naturally touched the back of the little snow leopard.
He shuddered instinctively, and the pleasure of having his fur stroked made the little snow leopard squint his eyes happily.
"Hmm." Xiao Qingcen couldn't help but slightly raise his neck, and a comfortable humming sound came from his throat.
It is now one o'clock in the morning of the ancient blue star time. Xiao Qingcen and Shang Yiqi came to the place where the Qianni tribe member had the first accident.
This place has also been listed by Yu Jin as one of the locations awaiting investigation.
All was silent.
Xiao Qingcen and Shang Yiqi looked at each other, and they both looked towards a nearby path.
Going straight along the path, there were many abandoned factories on both sides of the road, but their eyes soon locked on an abandoned factory right in front of them.
The reason is simple: there are many fresh signs of activities outside the factory.
Messy footprints were left on the muddy ground. It was obvious that these people had no intention of concealing their actions. Instead, Yu Jin, who came in the afternoon, deliberately cleared away the remaining traces.
Shang Yiqi transformed into a large black wolf, its dark form hard to detect in the night. The wolf moved swiftly, tucked Wang into its arms, and carried Xiao Qingcen into the abandoned factory.
This factory building seems to be made of iron sheds and glass. Its abandoned and old appearance does not arouse any suspicion about it. If Yu Jin had not walked around the outside and found that the so-called "glass" could not let light through to see what was going on inside, he would not have included it in the list of things to be observed.
But this was indeed the location they considered least suspicious—although Shang Yiqi was powerful, if he wanted to bring Wang along for the investigation, he would definitely arrange for a place that seemed the safest. After a thorough analysis, the other four archons unanimously concluded that those hiding in the abandoned factory were likely wanderers from the interstellar era or relatively weak mercenaries, and would not pose any threat to Wang—after all, Shang Yiqi was there.
Xiao Qingcen patted Shang Yiqi's arm with his paw. His ears heard something sharply. The ears of the little snow leopard and the big black wolf trembled at the same time. Shang Yiqi immediately guessed the implication of Wang's unspoken words and jumped quickly.
The iron door of the factory made a creaking sound.
A man in a black robe pushed open the iron gate and walked out, holding a cigarette in his hand, as if he came out to relax. Of course, he did not notice the black wolf hiding in the dark shadows.
"Huh, the higher-ups are so annoying, demanding so many things all day long." The other person held a cigarette in his left hand, and his right hand was not idle either, clicking away with an old-fashioned lighter.
Wisps of smoke rose from his hands.
Xiao Qingcen closed his eyes. While he was awake, he couldn't immerse himself in the sea of stars like he did last night. But as the king of the Qianni tribe, he could still vaguely feel the distance between himself and his tribe members.
——It seems to be here.
He placed his claws on Shang Yiqi's palm and scratched it slightly with the tip of his claws. The other party immediately understood what the king meant.
Shang Yiqi nodded to Xiao Qingcen.
In the hazy smoke, Shang Yiqi quickly approached the other party.
This unidentified person who just came to relax did not notice the danger around him. He was still playing with his lighter aimlessly. When there was only a cigarette butt left in his hand, he threw it on the ground nearby and crushed it with his shoe.
Xiao Qingcen frowned subconsciously.
The moment the other party turned around to go back, Shang Yiqi knocked forward with his right hand, knocking this unethical guy unconscious.
The black robe that the other person was wearing came onto Shang Yiqi's body.
The latter threw the cigarette butt on the floor and the unconscious man into the trash can.
Good, the garbage is sorted correctly.
Xiao Qingcen nodded contentedly.
Shang Yiqi has now turned back into human form. He thought for a moment and decided to squat at Shang Yiqi's hood - fortunately, the hoods of these people's black robes are quite pointed and often still upright.
He used the tip of his tail to prop up the hood of his black robe. Shang Yiqi hid his entire body under the black robe and walked into the door.
Behind this iron door is a sealed room. Shang Yiqi groped for a while and found a hidden passage.
After entering the passage, it becomes an open space.
Xiao Qingcen lowered his head slightly and looked out. The scene in front of him was similar to the decoration style of the small room they saw yesterday.
"This should be it."
'kindness. '
Shang Yiqi did not nod. He walked forward slowly, looking left and right from time to time, giving Wang the opportunity to investigate.
Before coming down, he had already told the specific situation in the group of governors. Almost when he entered the sealed room, the star network had been disconnected.
Someone installed a jammer nearby.
"Done smoking?"
A passing man in a black robe and a hood leaned against the door and said to Shang Yiqi.
Xiao Qingcen lowered his tail and then raised it again, looking like a person nodded.
The other person was just making small talk, probably because guard duty was too boring. He stretched and said, "I suggest you don't go back yet. There were some strange noises in the lab again. I don't know which experimental subject is going crazy again. We might need someone to go in and give them medicine... Even if we don't need to, it will be troublesome."
Xiao Qingcen nodded again, and Shang Yiqi stopped at the right time.
"Going crazy again?"
What surprised Xiao Qingcen most was that Shang Yiqi actually made his voice almost similar to the voice of the smoking man when he was complaining just now.
The hoarse voice sounded like it had been through a lot of smoke and fire.
"That's right! Those researchers spend all day and night using the supplies we caught with great difficulty to conduct experiments, but they don't cherish them at all. I just caught three last week and could have taken a vacation this week, but they told me that one of my Thousand Mimics is almost scrapped and I have to catch a new one immediately..." At this point, the man in black robe began to complain and curse.
They had deep dissatisfaction with these experimenters who were pointing fingers and wasting supplies, but as mercenaries, they could be said to be the unlucky ones whose opinions were least valued in this organization. If it weren't for the fact that they had enough star coins, they would have driven their spaceship away overnight to these arrogant researchers who treated them as idiots.
"Their research is quite creepy," said Shang Yiqi.
The moment Xiao Qingcen heard about the Qianmi tribe, his heart instantly caught in his throat. It must be that fellow tribesman. "Almost scrapped..." The meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious. Is that fellow tribesman okay now?
Xiao Qingcen pressed Shang Yiqi's shoulder with his claws. Shang Yiqi nodded slightly and continued to circle with the man in black robe.
