When they came out, the sky was dark, and snowflakes were dancing in the air. As soon as they entered Xiayuan Island, Jiang Liushi noticed that there were more patrol teams than before. It seemed that the situation was alarming, which led to a tense atmosphere.
Little Seven and Qi Liang didn't speak all the way. As long as they thought about the scene from the Rock Club, they felt terrible and sad. Later they bid farewell to Jiang Liushi. After all, they had to look after Wang Chuanfu and Ling Feng.
"Brother Jiang, where do we go? Could we go and find a task? After consuming that evolution crystal, I've been feeling that an inexhaustible amount of power is lying in my body," Zhang Hai asked.
"We should go to Area A first. I promised Li Yuxin to visit her," Jiang Liushi said gently.
Sun Kun and Zhang Hai just nodded. They guessed that Li Yuxin should be waiting for Jiang Liushi.
Area A was the core area in the Xiayuan District. The people living there were almost all high-level and elite individuals, and a large number of government core agencies were also inside.
'Boom!'
Suddenly, several heavy military trucks were driven toward Area A's door. Jiang Liushi looked at those vehicles and could not help but feel bewildered. A heavy military truck was full of holes, and another one was missing a part of its front bumper. Occasionally, several painful groans could be heard from the military vehicles.
What Jiang Liushi saw from the carriages made his heart sink. It was a miserable and depressing scene. The military had suffered heavy casualties as many bodies were covered under and many soldiers sitting beside them were seriously injured with bloody scars. Obviously, that was a group of well-trained soldiers. Even if they were injured, as long as they were able to sit up, they should sit like a green pine. Although the injuries were serious, almost no one screamed loudly.
Both Zhang Hai and Sun Kun were thunderstruck by that scene.
How many people were injured? What kind of mission had they undertaken?
As soon as those military vehicles approached the gate in Area A, the guard immediately saluted the leading military vehicle and quickly opened the gate. All military vehicles were driven to Xiayuan District Hospital. Until those military vehicles left, the military personnel who guarded the gates looked away.
"I'm looking for Li Yuxin at No. 57 in Area A. My name is Jiang Liushi. Could you help me to circulate a notice?" Jiang Liushi said to that guard politely.
"No.57 in Area A?" That guard searched for a moment and then called a phone.
As Jiang Liushi was just waiting patiently, he noticed several tiny monitors placed at every direction. Some were hidden in wire boxes while some others were hidden under the eaves. Farther away, he could perceive some powerful energy fluctuations. Most of the residential buildings in the vicinity seemed normal, but there were concealed gun holes in strategic locations.
Jiang Liushi had no doubt that the moment anyone dared to break into Area A, they would be killed at once.
"I have already made the call, and someone who can verify your identity will come shortly. As long as they vouch for you, you can enter," that guard explained.
"Thank you," Jiang Liushi answered.
"Well, brother, where did those military vehicles go? Why were they hurt so badly?" Sun Kun asked with a smile on his face and took out a pack of cigarettes, which was considered a luxury in the post-apocalyptic world.
That soldier looked at Sun Kun sharply and then raised his gun without any hesitation and shouted, "Step back!"
Sun Kun stepped back immediately and asked Jiang Liushi, "Brother Jiang, could you tell me your opinion?"
"Beast nest," Jiang Liushi answered quickly. He believed what he saw in the Rock Club, and the earlier military vehicles were all related to that beast nest.
"We should pay more attention to that level-5 mission," Jiang Liushi said. He had already made some plans in his mind.
…
No. 57 Courtyard was an imitation of Jiangnan Garden with several thin bamboos and rocks complementing each other perfectly and giving it a bit of quiet and ancient charm. In the middle of the courtyard were a stone chess board and two rattan chairs around it.
Currently, two people were sitting in the rattan chairs, playing chess happily. One of them was an old man, with a ruddy complexion and a bright heart. Opposite the old man, a middle-aged man in military uniform was sitting.
"General! Haha."
"Professor Su, you lost again!"
The middle-aged man smiled happily and looked at the old man opposite him.
"Commander Peng, you are indeed quite good at playing chess." The old man, who was none other than Professor Su Guangqi, the biomedical science expert, also smiled.
The middle-aged man was the Commander-in-Chief of the military, Peng Dinglong.
"Professor Su, we are similar to each other. You are quite good at creating and studying evolution crystals, right?" Peng Dinglong laughed happily.
"Oh…You…" While the two men were joking with each other, another middle-aged man was standing in the doorway. At that time, a guard hurried over and whispered a few words to the middle-aged man.
"Jiang Liushi? Well, I know him. However, Professor Su and Commander Peng are playing chess. Let him wait for a moment."
