68: material

Lin Wan looked at the three of them.

They were tall and sturdy, all with sharp features and righteous expressions.

Yet, their clothes were tattered, their figures thin, and a strange odor emanated from them.

They looked like three well-featured homeless men.

"We are the ones who just fired the signal."

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go. Take us to a safe place first, and then we can explain everything in detail."

Song Jian and the others' eyes instantly lit up.

But out of caution, Song Jian still exchanged the secret code with Lin Wan.

Hearing her recite it perfectly, the three of them finally relaxed.

"Boss, only you and Elder Zhang know this code. It's correct! They are truly our own people!"

"Yes, we have hope now!"

Gu Bai and Qi Zhou exclaimed excitedly.

Song Jian naturally knew this.

He grinned and said:

"I hope you can forgive us. After all, this matter is of great importance."

Lin Wan nodded.

"I understand. This is necessary."

Although she wondered where they came from and how they managed to reach Country M with only two people, now was not the time to ask.

Lin Wan tossed out two old-looking, dust-covered SUVs from her space, ignoring their stunned looks.

"We shouldn't stay here long. Let's go quickly!"

Song Jian drove, occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror. His usually calm eyes were filled with amazement and brightness.

The other two were already dumbfounded, chattering incessantly in the car.

"Boss, did you see that?"

"Just like that, with a wave of her hand? Those two big things appeared out of nowhere, looking brand new?"

"Even in the Apocalypse, that's too cool!"

Song Jian thought of her bright, determined almond eyes, and the corner of his mouth curved even higher.

"I think I know who she is."

Qi Zhou and Gu Bai nodded excitedly together.

"We know too. In this world, there can't be a second person like her! This is our Huaxia's Lin Wan! Shen Mo Chi, the Qingyun Squad, and the Qingyun Base all belong to them!"

"Right, it's her. Since the Apocalypse began, she has done many earth-shattering deeds. Now we've finally met a living person."

"Tall, fair-skinned, thin, possessing space and dual-element abilities—she's simply the perfect beautiful woman of the Apocalypse!"

"Too bad she already has a boyfriend. I heard they have been together for four years, and their relationship is so good that everyone knows them as an immortal couple!"

"I just don't know why they came this time. I'm actually quite looking forward to it!"

Song Jian thought of Shen Mo Chi, who stood beside her, not saying much but exuding an undeniable aura of authority, and his smile faltered slightly.

"Stop your nonsense. We'll naturally find out what's going on later. They fired special signal flares. I think since the leadership sent them, something must have happened. Otherwise, at this critical juncture, the Official Base wouldn't let her take such a risk."

About an hour later, Song Jian led them to a deserted construction site in a remote area.

After getting out of the cars, Song Jian looked at Lin Wan.

"Put the cars away. We'll walk in."

Lin Wan tapped her finger, and the cars vanished. Song Jian and the other two led them inside.

Walking to the innermost part, Lin Wan saw them move aside the covering materials on the ground, revealing a hidden entrance to a basement.

After going down, Lin Wan surveyed the area.

It was about seventy or eighty square meters, dark and damp.

Because there was no ventilation, the smell was somewhat unpleasant. There were also some dried mutant beast meats stored inside.

Several blankets were scattered casually on the floor; this was likely where they slept and sat.

Song Jian tidied up a bit, his smile slightly awkward.

"These are special circumstances, so you'll have to make do. We don't even have a proper chair..."

"It's fine, there's nothing to complain about here. In fact, you all have worked hard."

Lin Wan smiled. She held only respect for people who worked undercover in foreign lands for the sake of their country for such a long time.

She took out two clean, straight-backed sofas from her space and placed them in an empty spot.

She and Shen Mo Chi sat down together.

"Sit down quickly. Time is pressing; let's talk properly."

"I presume you've already guessed who we are. I am Lin Wan, and this is my beloved, Shen Mo Chi."

The three of them quickly pulled back their eyes that were about to pop out and obediently sat on the soft sofas.

Although they had heard rumors about Lin Wan possessing a space, hearing about it was vastly different from witnessing it firsthand; the impact was immense.

What kind of ability could compare to such a perfect space?

No wonder the entire world was coveting her now, wanting to snatch her away.

Only someone like her would dare to venture into Country M, which eyed her with hostility, at this time.

Everyone felt a sense of awe and pride towards such a powerful individual.

After sitting down, Song Jian cut straight to the point without wasting time.

"Hello. We did guess correctly."

"I am Song Jian, the captain of the Dark Night Squad. This is Qi Zhou and Gu Bai."

"Our team originally had ten people. Three months ago, while on a mission, one of our members, Zhou Feng, was accidentally captured. Then, for some unknown reason, he couldn't resist the temptation and threats and betrayed us."

"The worst part is that he revealed our hiding spot, so we were ambushed."

"Among the remaining brothers, one chose to defect with him. The remaining five all died. Only the three of us managed to escape."

Although Song Jian glossed over the tragic ambush in a few words, their eyes were full of indignation and sorrow.

"This location was prepared by me for emergencies; only I knew about it. I never thought it would actually come in handy."

"Now, they are searching and trying to capture us with Zhou Feng's cooperation."

"We have been hiding for many days because we possess some secret documents that must be known by Huaxia."

As Song Jian spoke, he got up and brought something over.

"Oh, right. This is some very important information we collected. Please keep it for us. That way, even if we are captured, we can rest assured."

Lin Wan took the thick file.

"So, is the reason they are so determined to capture you also because of this?"

Song Jian nodded.

"Yes. We discovered their unspeakable plan! These documents have always been in my possession, so they want to find me to destroy them."

Lin Wan and Shen Mo Chi roughly understood the course of events.

She also briefly explained Yi Nian's situation and the purpose of her visit.

"Captain Song, since you have been here for so long, do you know anything about this super virus? And where is their serum?"

Song Jian was momentarily stunned.

He pointed to the documents in her hand.

"This is what we've been trying to bring back to the country recently—the super virus!"

Lin Wan was startled and began flipping through the documents in her hand.

The more she read, the tighter her brow furrowed.

"They actually had such an idea right at the beginning of the Apocalypse?"

"Yes. They have been secretly pursuing this matter. Although you caused them heavy losses by moving their laboratory before, that was only a surface laboratory. The real laboratory is this one."

"We have roughly figured out their location, but with the strength of just the three of us, we couldn't do anything. Now that you have arrived, it's perfect for you to take these documents back to the country so we can have countermeasures, or perhaps we can do something first?"

"So, the serum is also in this laboratory?"

"Yes. As far as I know, it is."

The anxiety in Lin Wan's heart dropped by half.

"Finally, we know where that thing is."

"Good. There's no time to lose. We must go tonight!"
