When they were about to reach his destination, Major Cheng’s car suddenly overtook them. Jiang Fang saw this and stopped the car on the side of the road.
Major General Cheng got out of the car, looking like he had something to say. Jiang Fang also got out of the car and the two talked on the side of the road for a long time.
Then, Jiang Fang got into the car, turned around, and drove away in the opposite direction.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xiaoya asked suspiciously.
Li Su guessed that it was probably that Major Cheng broke the contract temporarily and did not want them to participate in the upcoming scenarios.
Jiang Fang said lightly, “It’s nothing. Major Cheng said that we don’t need to participate in the following operations. But it doesn’t matter. He also told me what I wanted to know. We have nothing to lose.”
“It’s too much!” Jiang Xiaoya was very angry. “How could they do this? It’s too dishonest.”
Jiang Fang patted Jiang Xiaoya’s hand soothingly. “Don’t be angry. I assume that Major Cheng must have contacted the X base. It is not surprising that they would do such a thing. Instead, we have to be careful that they will want to get revenge on us.”
Before he finished speaking, they heard a bang outside. The car skidded. Jiang Fang quickly slammed on the brakes, stopped the car, got out of the car to check it out. There was a nail in the tire, causing the tire to burst.
Jiang Fang didn’t have time to think. “Get out of the car quickly. Let’s change cars and continue.”
Li Su took Wang Yao and the safety seat down. Jiang Xiaoya then packed up and got out of the car. With Jiang Xiaoya and Li Su covering him, Jiang Fang took another Land Rover from the space. Then, he put the car into the space. They went back to find a safe place, changed the tires, and then they were able to drive again.
They quickly got into the new car and drove away.
Not far away, a small group of people hid behind the grass and witnessed all this. The two people leading looked at each other, not sure whether they should catch up.
In the end, they had to go back angrily.
After Major Cheng listened, he said, “They took the car out of the space again?” So, that woman’s space was far more than what they told them! A car could be easily put inside the space.
He received an order from Major General Zhao, asking them to kill Jiang Fang and his party and to not let them leave alive! Therefore, Major Cheng had a showdown with Jiang Fang before reaching his destination. Originally, he wanted to anger Jiang Fang, and then act in defense as a justification. He didn’t expect that Jiang Fang would endure it.
Fortunately, Major Cheng made preparations before and put barricades on the road. His intent was to attack them from behind when they got out of the car to change the tires. He didn’t expect that they would just exchange the car for the one in the space!
“Major, do we catch up?”
Major Cheng shook his head. “No. Don’t forget what our mission is for this trip.” He didn’t approve of letting go of Jiang Fang, but General Zhao was saddened by Zhao Yingnan’s death and insisted on doing so. Major Cheng did not want to offend General Zhao, so he had to follow orders. Now that Jiang Fang had escaped the catastrophe, he could not be blamed.
Major Cheng led people into the secret base. This process was not smooth.
Many of the people responsible for guarding the secret base mutated into zombies when the apocalypse arrived. These zombies had amazing fighting power. Major Cheng’s people fought all day and night, and paid a very high price to eliminate those zombies.
Major Cheng took the space ability users and entered the archives of the military base. He put all the information in it into the space and then went to the weapons warehouse to take all the weapons.
After doing all this, Major Cheng took the rest to prepare for the return trip, but looking at the remaining people, Major Cheng was in trouble. Except for the fifteen space ability users, the rest of the ability users were killed and injured. There might be many dangers on the way back, and he couldn’t ensure that he could lead the team back to the base smoothly.
Major Cheng got into the car and quickly got someone to contact the base to request support. Major Cheng was not afraid that the base would not send people to support it. After all, this batch of supplies was very important and the base would not sit idly by. It was just that water in a distant place was of little use in putting out a fire right here.
After thinking about it, Major Cheng ordered someone to drive quickly to see if he could catch up with Jiang Fang and his party. There were two ability-users among them, especially Jiang Fang, who had dual abilities which were powerful. With their help, they should be able to last until the arrival of the rescue team!
But no matter how much Major Cheng chased him, he never found any trace of Jiang Fang and his party. Instead, for some unknown reason, he encountered the mutant python that swallowed Zhao Yingnan.
Major Cheng and his party were no match for the mutant python at all. The remaining ability users, keeping their mission in mind, protected the space ability users behind them, resulting in serious casualties.
In the end, an ability user used his body as a bait, holding a box of ***. The moment he was swallowed by the python, he detonated the ***, causing heavy damage to the python.
Major Cheng and his party were able to escape.
When the explosion sounded, Jiang Fang and Li Su were sitting on the boat, preparing to cross the river.
Without other people around, it was much more convenient to do things. For example, at this time, Jiang Fang could put the car into the space and take out a boat to cross the river. If there were other people present, it would not be so convenient.
“Was that an explosion?! Where did it come from?” Jiang Xiaoya asked nervously.
Jiang Fang stood up and looked into the distance. “Look in that direction. That should be where Major Cheng and his people are! Maybe they encountered a mutant python, and in order to get out, they used ***!”
Li Su frowned. “Are they crazy? It’s all mountains and forests here and there are many mutant animals and plants. They used ***, so are they not afraid of attracting other mutant beasts?”
“I guess the situation devolved in such a way that required the use of ***! Otherwise, they would not have resorted to this,” Jiang Fang said.
Suddenly the boat started to wobble. Jiang Fang’s face changed greatly. “Not good!” It was likely that the explosion woke the mutant fish in the lake.
Seeing this, Li Su immediately took out straps and prepared to tie Wang Yao to herself. “Older sister, I’ll carry Yaoyao. Just help me take care of Xiaoya!” Jiang Fang immediately took Wang Yao.
Jiang Xiaoya also immediately came to help. “I’m not a child. I can protect myself.”
Li Su nodded. “Don’t worry, I will definitely protect Xiaoya!”
The lake surface began to vibrate violently, and the boat shook. Fortunately, they were wearing life jackets. Just in case, Li Su also took out some life buoys and put them on.
Finally, a big wave hit them. The boat overturned and they fell into the water. They had to swim to the shore.
Jiang Xiaoya cried out in horror. “My feet seem to be stuck in something.”
When Jiang Fang heard Jiang Xiaoya’s words, he went to swim back. Seeing this, Li Su quickly said, “Go ashore first. I’ll see what it is!”
Jiang Xiaoya looked at Wang Yao who was behind Jiang Fang, and shouted, “A-Fang, get out first. Don’t worry about me!”
When Jiang Fang saw this, he had no choice but to climb ashore quickly. He put Wang Yao down and wanted to jump into the water again to help, but he was afraid that some mutant beast would appear on the shore and hurt Wang Yao, so he could only stand on the shore anxiously and watch.
Li Su took a dagger, grabbed the water weed, and started to cut it. As soon as the dagger touched the water weed, it shrank back in fear.
Li Su quickly surfaced and pulled Jiang Xiaoya to swim to the shore. When she was about to reach the shore, she felt that her legs were entangled in something. She guessed that the water weed had recovered and wanted to take revenge. Li Su didn’t have time to think about it, and pushed Jiang Xiaoya to the shore.
Jiang Fang grabbed Jiang Xiaoya and pulled her up. Jiang Xiaoya was out of breath. She quickly knelt on the ground and stretched out her hand to Li Su. “Older sister, hurry up, hurry up!”
Li Su was about to speak, but was pulled into the water by the water weed.
Jiang Xiaoya’s eyes widened. “What’s going on?”
Jiang Fang didn’t have time to think about it, so he put Wang Yao down. “Protect yourself. I’ll go and have a look.”
Jiang Xiaoya nodded and hugged Wang Yao tightly.
Just as Jiang Fang was about to go into the water, Li Su popped her head out of the water again and happened to see a huge mutant beast behind them. “Be careful!”
Li Su could only call out before she was dragged down by the water weed again.
Jiang Fang looked back and saw an oversized mutant wolf. Jiang Fang didn’t have time to think about it, he immediately activated his ability and greeted the wolf.
Jiang Xiaoya was worried about Jiang Fang and Li Su in the water. She was very anxious.
Over there, Li Su almost drowned. She managed to get rid of the entanglement of water plants. During this period, she was attacked by mutant fish and bitten twice. Li Su was afraid that the blood would attract more mutant fish, so she attacked like crazy. She then quickly surfaced and headed for the shore.
When Jiang Xiaoya saw this, she was so happy. Jiang Xiaoya quickly reached out to pull her out.
With the help of Jiang Xiaoya, Li Su climbed to the shore. Exhausted, she lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Seeing that Li Su was all right, Jiang Xiaoya sighed in relief. “Older sister, look after Yaoyao. I’ll go and help.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a bang, and then Jiang Fang’s voice called out, “No need. Let’s get in the car and get out of here.”
Over there, Jiang Fang had already eliminated the mutant beasts. He felt that his abilities seemed to have upgraded again.
Jiang Xiaoya hurried over and looked over Jiang Fang. “It’s all right. It’s all skin injuries.” Jiang Fang comforted her when he saw Jiang Xiaoya was about to cry.
“Mum!” Over there, Wang Yao also found the wound on Li Su’s body and was crying.
“Mum is fine. Let’s go. Get in the car quickly and leave here first.” Li Su sat up and touched Wang Yao’s chubby little face.
Jiang Fang took out the car and they quickly got into the car and left.
“Look! What is that?!” Jiang Xiaoya lay on the window and looked out. “There are too many mutant beasts here. Fortunately, we left in time. Otherwise…”
Li Su was soaked all over. At this time, the temperature rose, the water evaporated, and her whole body was sticky and uncomfortable; however, she couldn’t care about this right now. She took out a medicine box from her space. “Xiaoya, quickly put this on Jiang Fang’s wound. Deal with it now. I don’t know what will happen if we get injured by a mutant beast. I’m not sure if we will turn into zombies.”
Li Su took a cotton ball dipped in alcohol, wiped the wound, and hissed. It hurt.
Seeing this, Wang Yao hurriedly blew on her wound. “Pain, pain, go away!”
