"Okay, I'll help you find it."
Ying Jian had ulterior motives towards Yu An, and he readily agreed to Yu An's request: "I will have someone go find Qiu Qiu."
"Thanks."
Yu An's focus was on finding Qiu Qiu. He and Xie Chiyuan were mainly searching for the location where they rode the motorcycle yesterday.
Yu An remembered hearing a chirping sound here. But at the time, he thought he had misheard.
Ying Jian sent people to look for him, but he did not go out with them.
He wanted to continue with his own affairs.
Yan Meng, following beside him, couldn't contain her curiosity and asked, "Doctor, why are you so determined to find Dr. Gu? Although he is your teacher, if he were gone, your future achievements would definitely surpass his."
Yan Meng felt a secret thrill when she learned that Gu Ainan was missing.
She greatly admires Ying Jian.
She felt that without Gu Ainan blocking her way, Ying Jian's reputation would definitely surpass Gu Ainan's in the future.
"What do you know?"
Ying Jian's tone was displeased. He was so frustrated that he still hadn't found Gu Ainan after all this trouble.
In the past, he wouldn't have bothered saying much to Yan Meng, but perhaps because he was in such a bad mood, he vented and said a few more words: "Now, mutants and zombies are rampant, and humanity is completely helpless against them. To gain a foothold in this world, we either need power, or money, or—"
“We have the technology.”
Technology that can control mutants and zombies! If anyone in the world could master this technology, that person... would definitely be Gu Ainan.
Ying Jian even has a bolder guess.
Are the mutants that are now rampant in the world and the sudden outbreak of zombies related to Gu Ainan?
On one side, Ying Jian was still speculating. On the other side, Yu An and Xie Chiyuan had already split up to search.
They have their phones with them, so they're not afraid of getting lost even if they separate.
The little ones also scattered, and everyone searched thoroughly for traces of Chiu Chiu.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Yu An leaned against a passing tree, letting out a soft breath. The things Qiu Qiu had experienced flashed through his mind, and just thinking about them sent a chill down his spine.
"Chirp chirp".
Yu An murmured Qiu Qiu's name, closed his eyes, and tried to get some kind of mental connection with Qiu Qiu.
Although this kind of intuition sounds very unreliable, Yu An really had no other choice.
Half an hour later.
Yu An found a few black feathers in a clump of short grass on the ground. The black feathers were small and inconspicuous on the grass.
He carefully twirled the feathers, his eyes shining brightly.
It's a chirping feather.
Yu An collected the feathers and continued searching for new ones. Chirp sheds a lot; if she looked carefully, she might be able to find some more!
Chiu Chiu, who was being searched for by everyone, seemed to have truly sensed her older brother's presence.
He glanced into the distance, then looked down at Song Jun: "Brother Song, we...we want to go out."
The person in Song Jun's arms was Hou Ying, and the person hidden behind him was Yin Feng.
The physique of a superhuman is better than that of a normal person. These days, he has been single-handedly supporting his teammates. Before Qiuqiu arrived, he fed Yin Feng with his own flesh and blood.
Yin Feng's breathing was weak, as if it were his last breath, about to dissipate.
Chiu Chiu carried food with her and brought timely rations to Song Jun, who was stuffed to the limit. None of them had anything good left to eat.
Chiu Chiu doesn't have healing abilities, and there's no known healing ability user in the world.
Therefore, there was nothing that Qiuqiu could do, seeing Song Jun and Yin Feng about to die, and Hou Ying already lifeless.
"Chirp chirp".
Song Jun's hoarse voice was calm. He looked up at Qiuqiu and said, "We can't get out. This is a simulation training ground. The East District tampered with our training ground back then, and I almost died in it."
"I never thought I'd still fail here in the end."
Any scenario can be triggered in the simulation training ground. What Song Jun encountered was a hellish difficulty where no one survived.
Chiu Chiu had never been to the training ground before; he stumbled in by accident.
After listening to Song Jun's words, Qiuqiu asked blankly, "Can Big Brother find us? I can come in, can Big Brother come in too?"
Song Jun's eyes were filled with bitterness as he held Hou Ying tightly in his arms: "I hope your elder brother won't come in."
The simulation training ground is controlled by people; entering it is equivalent to being controlled.
Song Jun did not want Yu An to appear.
Only Instructor Xie had the ability to break into the training ground. But how could Instructor Xie possibly have discovered them?
Song Jun did not want to run into Yu An at all; for Yu An to come in would be tantamount to courting death.
Chiu Chiu really wanted her older brother to come in.
In this situation, he said earnestly, "My older brother can save my life."
Upon hearing this, Song Jun couldn't help but ask in his mind, "Will they call for help?"
The simulated training ground is too ruthless. This method of tampering with the training ground is a tactic that the East District used before. In other words, the East District and Ying Jian... have a very close cooperative relationship.
With the East District around, Ying Jian naturally wouldn't go back to the West District with them.
Song Jun could accept Ying Jian's refusal to return to the West District, but he didn't expect Ying Jian to be so ruthless. He sent everyone from the West District to the training ground.
Moreover, they all had an injection in their bodies.
The injection contained Ying Jian's new product, which was said to allow humans to directly evolve into superhumans. Song Jun was already a superhuman, so he didn't take this.
Hou Ying stopped breathing shortly after receiving the injection.
Yin Feng held on until now, barely clinging to life. None of the others could hold on after the fight.
"Keep going."
Qiuqiu gripped Song Jun's hand, and his wings grew larger, completely shielding Song Jun and the others: "If any more zombies or bad guys come, I'll fight them off for you."
He encouraged Song Jun, "Wait a little longer, my elder brother will be here soon."
Song Jun remained silent.
So what if Yu An comes? He doesn't even have any special abilities. He'll just be watching them die.
Chiu Chiu still has unconditional confidence in her older brother.
The detection device in the training ground seemed to be able to detect health points, and after Chirp arrived, it launched several more rounds of attacks.
But the mature version of Qiuqiu was not afraid at all. He blocked all the attacks, stayed with Song Jun, and waited for his older brother to come over.
After waiting for a day and a night.
Chiu Chiu finally met Yu An.
Yu An came in alone, without anyone with her.
When Qiuqiu saw his older brother, he happily went to greet him. He pulled Yu An along, not even bothering to exchange pleasantries, and immediately showed his older brother the situation of Song Jun and the others.
"Big brother, can you save them? They're dying."
Yu An squatted down, just about to check the situation, when he heard Song Jun say to him as if giving his last words, "An'an, Ying Jian, Ying Jian is not a good person."
"It was he who colluded with the East District to bring us here."
"He gave us some medicine, a medicine called Aoki's..."
Song Jun was making the most of the time, telling everything he knew. At the end, without blinking, he stared at Yu An and offered his blessing: "You and Commander Xie are a perfect match. You must get out. May you and Commander Xie have a long and happy marriage—"
Yu An didn't let him say the rest.
"Don't worry, we can all walk. It's okay if we've been given the drug. I've heard of Qingmu. My father was involved in the first generation of its development, and the Secret Shield Research Institute also has an antidote."
"You will not die."
Yu An spoke with such certainty that he wasn't surprised Ying Jian harbored ill intentions. He just hadn't expected Ying Jian to be even more ruthless than he thought.
"Once we get out of here, Xie Chiyuan and I will kill Ying Jian, and then we'll head to the East District. We'll remember these grudges for now!"
Yu An, who holds grudges, has come online; he has already memorized every single one of his enemies.
When Qiuqiu heard them talking and heard that his older brother was going to the East District, he hesitated for a moment and then suddenly said, "Big brother, Dazai is in the East District."
Yu An: "..."
Yu An: "???"
Yu An was completely stunned.
Chiu Chiu pursed her lips and continued, "Big Baby is in the East District. Fifth Baby and Big Baby are both in the East District."
Yu An thought about the series of self-destructive actions taken by Dongqu, and then thought about his eldest son.
impossible.
His eldest son couldn't possibly be so rebellious!
Chapter 115
"Chirp chirp, how did you know that Big Cub is in the East District?" Yu An was still somewhat incredulous after the initial shock.
He and Tiger Cub don't talk every day, but whenever they video chat, Yu An usually leans over and says a few words to Tiger Cub.
If the tiger cub is with the older cub, why hasn't he been told this for so long?
Chiu Chiu looked up, very certain: "I know, they're together. Big brother, I saw Da Zai a long time ago."
Chiu Chiu remembered things from the past, and in his past memories, there was the appearance of Da Zai.
He just didn't have good memories of those things, so he didn't think of telling his older brother.
