Chapter 165
by REX-NOVELISTSIt can only be said that it is worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot.
Although it has been neglected after the apocalypse, the various plants that come into view still make people stop and watch.
Following the guided route, the group rode their bikes leisurely for most of the day, but did not find any trace of the research institute.
Although there was no gain, they were able to feast their eyes, and the fatigue of the long journey was swept away.
“The botanical garden is so large, it may take us some time to find the location of the research institute.
Seeing that the sun is about to set, let’s find a place to spend the night first, at least it’s safer.”
Lin Yixuan suggested, and Lin Qianhuan naturally wouldn’t refuse.
She looked around and found a convenience store at the entrance.
“Let’s just make do in the store tonight.”
The group walked towards the convenience store, only to see a lock hanging on the door.
It was locked from the outside, and there were obvious signs that the supplies inside had not been touched by anyone.
“It’s rare, there are still shops that haven’t been scavenged by survivors.”
Lin Wansheng broke the lock in a few strokes and took the lead in going in to check the situation.
After confirming that there was no danger, the group walked in.
After spreading out soft cushions and bedding on the ground, Lin Qianhuan set up two tables and began to take out tonight’s dinner from the Space.
The aroma of the food on the table was fragrant, and the heat was churning, drilling into everyone’s nostrils.
“Let’s eat, and after we finish eating, we’ll rest early and start a carpet search tomorrow.”
Lin Qianhuan took the lead in moving her chopsticks, picked up a piece of spicy chicken and stuffed it into her mouth, and then scooped up a mouthful of rice.
After being busy for so many days, they can finally have a quiet meal.
She was feeling emotional when she heard a knock on the door.
The door of the convenience store was made of glass.
Although they put down the curtains to block other people’s sight, the light in the room still could not escape the scrutiny of outsiders.
Somewhat irritably putting down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, Lin Qianhuan sighed.
“It’s already this late, how can there still be people in the botanical garden?”
They searched the garden for a long time during the day and didn’t see any signs of human activity, so why did someone suddenly come to knock on the door at night?
She stood up and walked to the glass door, lifting the curtain.
There were 4 people standing outside the door, all fully armed, looking quite strong.
“Outsiders?”
The leader was a woman with sharp eyes, as if ice was mixed in her eyes.
She tapped lightly on the glass door with her fingers: “If you don’t want to die tonight, then follow me.”
Lin Qianhuan frowned slightly: “What do you mean?”
But the woman didn’t intend to answer her question, turned around and led her team into the darkness.
Although somewhat confused, Lin Qianhuan immediately made a decision, packed her things and followed with her team.
They are newcomers and don’t know much about Xiangze City and this botanical garden.
Regardless of whether the woman’s words are true or false, as long as she follows, Lin Qianhuan can learn more about what she wants to know from her.
She needs a guide.
The moonlight was bright, and it shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves of the botanical garden, like shattered jade butterflies.
The woman had a neat short haircut, and a slightly larger combat uniform on her body, showing her heroic posture.
She didn’t seem to be a talkative person, she just kept leading the way, and didn’t say anything else.
“Excuse me, where are you trying to take us?”
Lin Qianhuan walked quickly to her side and asked.
“Underground city.”
“What should I call you?”
“Ji Rong.”
The conversation ended there, and Lin Qianhuan didn’t ask any more questions, just gave Lin Yixuan a look, telling him to be alert.
The other party nodded in response, and the group continued to travel silently.
After wandering around the botanical garden for a long time, they finally came to a dense bush.
Ji Rong bent down and didn’t know what she did, but a hole appeared at the bottom of the bush that could fit an adult to crawl in.
“A’Kuan, you lead the way in front, I’ll cover the rear.”
“Yes, Sister Rong!”
A man with a relatively thin figure took the lead in crawling in, followed by the other two team members.
Lin Qianhuan didn’t hesitate, ignoring the dirt and dust on the ground, and followed directly.
Lin Yixuan stayed at the end, staring at Ji Rong with wide eyes.
“Why don’t you go in?”
Ji Rong asked.
“I’m waiting for you to go in first.”
“How can I go in if you don’t go in?”
“Why do you have to go in for me to go in?”
Lin Yixuan stood in place quietly looking at the woman in front of him, feeling that there was no substance in the conversation between the two.
“I want to cover the rear and be responsible for disguising the bushes.
What, can you also be competent for this position?”
Ji Rong raised her hand and plucked a blade of grass: “Don’t worry, I don’t have any malice towards you.
If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago, why wait until now?
There’s no need to be so wary of me, right?”
Lin Yixuan slightly curved his lips: “Okay, I was being petty.”
After speaking, he lowered his head and crawled into the hole, but he didn’t rush to keep up with Lin Qianhuan and the others, but stopped in place and quietly watched Ji Rong’s next operation.
Ji Rong turned her head to look around, took out a packet of powder from her pocket and sprinkled it on the ground, and then carefully crushed it with her feet.
After confirming that it was correct, she bent down and crawled into the hole.
“Can I take the liberty to ask, what did you sprinkle?”
Lin Yixuan patted the leaves on his body and turned to ask her.
“A powder that can mask the scent.”
