Chapter 342
by REX-NOVELISTSSeeing that he didn’t say anything more, Lin Qianhuan added, “Just rest assured, I have plenty of food and water here. Although I can’t give them a feast every day, filling their bellies is no problem.”
Of course, those who are lazy and try to be slick shouldn’t think about getting any benefits from it.
No work, no food.
No one cares if you starve to death.
Yi Zhonglin’s voice was a little hoarse: “Okay, I understand.”
Lin Qianhuan hummed and then hung up the phone.
She picked up the walkie-talkie and issued new instructions to the person in charge of each car.
After informing them of the ways to earn crystal cores and the available positions, she quietly waited for the survivors to eagerly sign up.
To survive, everyone was highly enthusiastic, and many positions were quickly filled.
The convoy continued to rush north. Two hours passed quickly, and it was time for lunch.
Lin Qianhuan had arranged a space-type ability user in each car in advance to distribute the food, water, stoves, and other things needed for the survivors to eat.
This made eating efficient and allowed them to set off earlier.
After all, today was the first day, and none of the work had officially started, and the survivors didn’t have much money in hand.
Lin Qianhuan wasn’t an unreasonable person and asked the person in charge to record the names of those who took credit, which they could repay within three days.
The convoy stopped steadily. Those who had signed up to make a fire and cook hurriedly got out of the car, set up stoves, and started a fire, preparing to cook a pot of thick rice porridge.
Lin Qianhuan had specifically stipulated the ratio of water to rice. If there was too little rice in the porridge, the space-type ability user responsible for loading the supplies would be held accountable first.
Everyone got out of the car to set up camp. Dry firewood was lit, and thick smoke rose.
The survivors’ eyes were fixed on the large pot next to the car, sniffing the aroma of the rice soup, constantly swallowing their saliva.
Lin Qianhuan didn’t linger and drove her car to car number 126, where Liu Nongyun was located.
The convoy stretched for more than ten miles, and it took Lin Qianhuan a long time to see Liu Nongyun standing by the road maintaining order.
She rolled down the car window and waved at him.
“Captain Liu, want to get in the car and chat?”
Liu Nongyun was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of something. He didn’t say anything more, opened the car door, and sat in.
“I guessed you would come to me, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”
From the moment he saw Yi Hao and the others, he knew that his identity couldn’t be concealed for long.
Lin Qianhuan curled her lips and parked the car on the side of the road away from the convoy.
“Captain Liu is indeed clever, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to hide his whereabouts until now without being detected by the Savior Society.”
Liu Nongyun gave a wry smile: “What cleverness?
I just want to survive.
To survive, I can only hide my name and live completely as someone else’s shadow.”
Lin Qianhuan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, her eyes showing some inquiry.
Liu Nongyun didn’t intend to hide it from her: “The identity of Liu Nongyun was stolen from someone else.
The original Liu Nongyun was traveling with me, but died in the mouth of a zombie, with no remains left.
To survive, I could only take his name, and that’s how I saved my life.”
Lin Qianhuan smiled and tapped the steering wheel with her finger: “Tell me about it?”
“Tell you about what?”
“Naturally, tell me everything you know about the Savior Society. Otherwise, why would I come to you?”
Liu Nongyun curled his lips helplessly: “You’re really straightforward.”
He sighed heavily and recounted his time in the laboratory in detail.
“Unlike No. 0 and the others who were sent to the laboratory for research as children, I wasn’t.
One day I got drunk and fainted on the street. When I woke up, I was lying on the operating table.
In the laboratory, I saw countless test subjects die miserably.
So I was very scared and flustered, but there was no way to escape.
Until one day, I heard the words ‘incinerator’ from a researcher.
All the dead test subjects would be thrown into it to be burned to ashes, in order to destroy the evidence.”
He bowed wearily, raised his hands, and covered his face.
His exceptionally strong body seemed a little frightened, obviously scarred by that period of time.
“The ability I awakened was magma. I’m not afraid of any high-temperature environment, so I can survive in the incinerator.
So, I chose to fake my death and take this opportunity to be thrown into the incinerator to find a new way out.”
Lin Qianhuan rested her cheek on her hand, obviously curious: “How did you fake your death?
Ordinary methods can’t fool those researchers.”
“With my ability.
They didn’t know that under the effect of the drug, I awakened more than one ability.
I am a dual-ability user, and my hidden second ability is to fake death, shielding all my vital signs.”
Lin Qianhuan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She really didn’t expect this result.
“The Savior Society at that time didn’t know that a person could have the chance to awaken two abilities, so they relaxed and didn’t notice anything unusual.”
He smiled self-deprecatingly: “If it were now, this trick probably wouldn’t work at all.”
Lin Qianhuan nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
“Then what? What did you discover during your time at the institute?
Did you record any research data or the address of the Savior Society headquarters?”
Lin Qianhuan had searched countless times in the Nanfeng base, but she had never found the secret passage that Jiang Fanshun used to transport test subjects to the Savior Society.
She had intended to find the Savior Society’s lair through the secret passage, but she had failed again.
Now she could only place her hopes on Liu Nongyun, hoping that he knew more secrets that could bring her truly useful information.
Liu Nongyun: “The Savior Society is connected to a certain pharmaceutical company abroad.
I once saw the logo of that company on a sampling box, but at that time, I was drugged, and I only remembered the outline of the icon.
But I did hear the researcher talking to the person on the other end of the phone in English.
I only vaguely remember one word – evolution.”
This was undoubtedly a major discovery, and Lin Qianhuan instantly perked up.
“That word and the outline of the icon are already very useful information. Can you draw it for me?”
Liu Nongyun took the paper and pen and drew the vague outline in his memory on the paper with some difficulty.
Lin Qianhuan took the paper, frowned at the things on it, and said somewhat speechlessly: “This drawing of yours…”
Liu Nongyun scratched his head embarrassedly: “I didn’t see it clearly at all at the time. I’ve already tried my best.”
Lin Qianhuan sighed and carefully studied the pattern on the paper, unable to tell what it looked like.
A circle with several vertical lines of varying lengths.
“This is enough. Thank you for telling me so much.”
Lin Qianhuan took out a bag of chocolate candies from her pocket and handed it to Liu Nongyun: “A thank you gift.
After saying so much, the rice porridge is about to come out of the pot. Go and have a taste.”
Liu Nongyun took the candy, nodded to Lin Qianhuan, and pushed the door open to get out of the car.
He tore open the candy bag and distributed the candies inside to the children around him.
In this era, there are very few children.
The children who came to ask for candy dispersed, and a third of the candy remained in the bag.
