Chapter 252: Planning to Escape 4
Gao Qiu snapped his fingers and summoned a carriage, flying towards Shi Feng. “What’s going on?”
Shi Feng watched as people were continuously thrown out, then looked down with a playful gaze at Li Ming and the others. That one glance made Li Ming’s heart tremble.
Gao Qiu followed his gaze down and saw Li Ming and Huang Feng, who were usually quite diligent. “What’s wrong with them?”
Shi Feng: “Nothing. The city’s security will be stricter than before. Pay attention to the time yourself. Did you get your optical computer?”
Speaking of which, Gao Qiu became energetic and extended his wrist. “This thing is really useful, much better than a phone.”
“Huh, is this a message from Sister Sang?”
He disliked the optical computer suddenly dinging and donging, so he always kept it on silent mode. Seeing Sang Chu’s message suddenly, he was stunned. He hoped the message wasn’t too old.
Upon opening it, Gao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, it’s recent. Sister Sang Chu needs me for something, I’m heading down now. You, this…” After speaking, he looked with an indescribable expression at the people being thrown out like dumplings. “These people are shouting too loudly; it will disturb the public’s morale.”
“It’s fine, you go ahead and be busy.”
“Alright, if you think it’s fine, then it’s fine!”
After saying that, Gao Qiu drove the carriage away. Honestly, he was still a bit unsure how to interact with the people Sang Chu had recently brought back. Although they seemed to answer every question, how should he put it… that feeling was just strange.
He couldn’t pinpoint what was strange, but it was just very odd.
Huang Feng saw Gao Qiu flying towards the storage building of the breeding farm and nudged Li Ming beside him. “How is it?”
Looking at the people continuously being thrown out high in the sky, Li Ming gritted his teeth. “Let’s go, we need to leave right now!”
He couldn’t wait any longer. He had originally planned to wait until the people from the hospital went missing and the situation escalated, then steal some things and leave. But now, it seemed saving his life was the most important thing!
Under the bright lights, Li Ming and his group of seven carefully avoided the patrolling magic beasts.
“There are so many of these damn magic beasts. I wonder where that woman Sang Chu brought them from!”
“Shh, shut up, don’t speak. If we’re discovered, we’re all finished!”
Relying on their familiarity with the breeding farm’s terrain, they stealthily made their way towards the mountain, avoiding all the magic beasts.
Huang Feng: “Brother, where is the place the Doctor mentioned?”
“Don’t rush, we’re almost there.”
Li Ming was also pacing anxiously, breaking out in a cold sweat. The Doctor said it was in this very spot. He had covered it with some weeds, but they hadn’t seen anything along the way!
After searching this area for who knows how long, just as Li Ming thought the Doctor had tricked him, he saw it!
“Th—” As soon as he uttered one word, he immediately covered his mouth with his hand. He then looked around, and after confirming he hadn’t alerted the patrol team, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, “Over there, let’s hurry.”
The seven people cautiously moved forward.
An invisibility rat guarded them nearby, but none of them noticed.
Exiting the narrow passage led to the road towards New City.
Storage Building.
Looking at the images transmitted by the invisibility rat, Gao Qiu was still a bit confused. “Sister Sang, how did you know these people would escape? Was Shi Feng deliberately throwing them out in front of them just now?”
Sang Chu: “Something like that. These people were openly discussing leaving, likely planning to use those others as bait to do what they truly wanted. I don’t have time, so I had to force their hand. The stage is set, why would we let the actors be late to appear?”
Fang Chao looked at the high-definition image, utterly astonished. The surveillance was so clear, so clear that he could see the pores on their faces.
In the dim passage, people should have been dark and blurry, but unexpectedly, the transmitted image looked processed. Even the patterns on the mountain wall were clearly visible.
Seeing Fang Chao’s curiosity, Sang Chu had no intention of explaining for the moment. What they were seeing now was not footage captured by an optical computer, but rather the scenery seen by the invisibility rat’s eyes extracted using a magic array and then converted into images for playback.
Naturally, it was the high-definition version.
Ma Ya Ru: “Sister Sang, did something happen that required you to make this trip yourself?”
Sang Chu: “Fang Chao, you explain.”
Fang Chao, who thought he was just a background prop, was startled when he heard his name. He snapped to attention as if called by a drill instructor during military training. “Yes.”
Sang Chu, Ma Ya Ru, and the others were startled by his action. Xia Han, standing nearby, helplessly stood up and pressed his shoulder, telling him to sit down. “Don’t do that, it’s making things tense.”
Fang Chao: “Yes, I’m sorry!”
Gao Qiu chuckled, smiling. “No one blames you. You’re making things a bit awkward. Sister Sang asked you to speak, so just say it. Say what you saw, don’t be nervous.”
“Okay.”
Fang Chao nodded and quickly repeated what he had told Sang Chu earlier.
Ma Ya Ru had some recollection of what he said. “I remember this. You came to me saying you found some plants seemed to have a problem, so I went to check.”
Fang Chao: “Yes, it was that field you checked, but you didn’t find anything at the time.”
Gao Qiu frowned slightly. “Could it be that you saw it wrong?”
This was not a questioning tone, but a simple inquiry. Fang Chao suddenly understood why, despite not having high supernatural ability levels, they could still hold influence in Hai Cheng.
They didn’t have the arrogance of those who had gained power. This question was more like a simple doubt between friends.
This, on the contrary, calmed Fang Chao down. “I thought it was my imagination at the time, but I saw it a few more times later, so I asked Sister Ya Ru again.”
“That’s right, Fang Chao came to me three times, but each time I couldn’t find anything. So, I discussed with Xia Ru that we would record the results of each inspection and then compare them. This is also why I personally come here both morning and evening. I need to personally record the growth trends and changes of these plants to determine if they are alright. These are my records from the past few days.”
Ma Ya Ru didn’t expect Sang Chu had called them because of this. She quickly handed out the recorded files she had in her hand to each of them.
Sang Chu also didn’t expect Ma Ya Ru to be so meticulous. She flipped through it briefly; it indeed looked like there were no changes.
Ma Ya Ru: “These documents don’t show anything on the surface, but after Xia Ru reviewed them, he felt the data was incorrect. When asked, he couldn’t explain why. For safety, after discussing with him, we decided to check every two hours. However, due to the acid rain and then the blood-drawing incident, the two-hour plan was put on hold, and we could only maintain the morning and evening records.”
Because this physical examination was for everyone, currently, besides herself, Gao Qiu, and Xia Han, everyone else was still in the hospital. They were simply spread too thin.
