Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Take the Initiative to Strike!

Ding Dayong’s words, if spoken before the apocalypse, wouldn’t have meant much.

At that time, the population density of cities was high, and People with common last names could be found everywhere on the streets.

But now, still related to Xiangcheng and Xue Qianmei, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but suspect that the Ye surname university student he mentioned was most likely Ye Qing.

Though that’s what she thought, Jiang Yan didn’t act impulsively.

She stood up and returned to the living room of the Apple Cabin, grabbing a bunny doll to hug in front of her chest, listening intently with her eyes closed to the conversation between the two men, hoping to pick up more valuable information from their dialogue.

“He won’t live long even if he escapes the base!” Chu Hui said, a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes, arrogantly remarked, “Those who dare to go against the lab haven’t been born in this world yet!”

“Exactly, exactly, with this damn weather, if he doesn’t freeze to death, he’ll starve to death!” Ding Dayong continued to fawn, “Once Dr. Chu and the others develop the antibody agent, these extreme cold or extreme heat conditions will be nothing! You’ll all be the saviors of mankind!”

“Develop an antibody agent?” Jiang Yan’s lashes trembled slightly.

Previously, when taking shelter in the Xiangyun cliff cave, they had discussed related topics with Song Qian and the others.

At that time, it was said that Flame Base was secretly conducting some life science research, focusing not only on mutated animals and plants but possibly also on surviving humans. It seemed a bit far-fetched, but now, it turned out to be true.

She really underestimated the strength and background of the other party.

And thinking back to those perfect bodies immersed in formalin at the sky hotel…

It seems this perverse research had begun a long time ago.

And it was happening in parallel with things like organ transplants.

Were those remaining bodies and tissues failures?

There was also something she hadn’t figured out, considering the strength of Flame Base and Miaomiao’s malicious style, the sky hotel was destroyed by Ye Qing and his team, and they lost so much Gold and the mysterious Black Tai Sui.

Logically, they would probably spare no effort in retaliating and seeking out the mastermind.

But from the storm to now, this incident seemed to have been easily concluded.

If Ding Dayong and Chu Hui’s conversation did indeed involve Ye Qing and Sun Jingtao, that would at least indicate that Miaomiao’s group was unaware that they were behind it.

Otherwise, in Miaomiao’s style, they would have already been flayed and hanged on the wall for public display.

And the only ones who knew the background of that incident were Yaoben Base.

And it was Yaoben Base that blew up the building to destroy all evidence.

But even if the people of Yaoben Base kept their lips sealed, aside from the many who boarded Yaoben Base’s ships, many were released.

No matter how much they tried to hide it, the crimes of the other party and Sun Jingtao’s team’s rescue efforts couldn’t possibly go unmentioned.

Unless those who returned to their respective neighborhoods…

The name Mo Jingsheng flashed through her mind.

Jiang Yan pursed her lips.

She seemed to have guessed something.

But as of now, it was still too early to conclude.

After all, she had personally seen Elder Mo and his granddaughter Mo Shiyao having close connections with people like Xue Dazheng.

Chaos.

Such chaos.

Jiang Yan abruptly opened her eyes, stretched her hand to rub her temples, and decided not to think about these unnecessary things anymore.

Her attention returned to the space outside.

The conversation in the wooden house had ended.

Chu Hui was just a young-faced old fox with a high vigilance despite being slightly tipsy.

Feeling the topic might have gone too far, he reverted to his previous cold demeanor, ignoring Ding Dayong and his party.

Ding Dayong, after bootlicking for a while, returned to his place.

Feeling a bit disgruntled, he didn’t approach again.

With no activity outside, Jiang Yan couldn’t just hop out directly.

However, she realized that these individuals had some understanding of Flame Base and even Ye Qing’s situation.

Since she couldn’t get useful information from their conversation, she’d have to take the initiative.

The time was just before six in the afternoon.

Due to the blizzard, the days were short and the nights long, and the sky outside had already turned dark.

Even if those people hastened their journey, they would have to wait until after daybreak tomorrow.

So, she still had plenty of time to prepare.

With that in mind, she got up, went to the dining area, and simply ate some teppanyaki.

While eating, she thought of her upcoming plan.

First and foremost, what weapon should she use to subdue the opponents?

She remembered that behind the mountain where the cabin was located, there were two taller mountains.

The mountains were covered with thick snow.

Loud weapons could not be used, as they would easily trigger an avalanche.

After much thought, Jiang Yan had an idea.

After finishing her meal, she searched her arsenal with her mind and retrieved a military tranquilizer gun.

Then she found a bulletproof vest to wear.

After a simple full-armament, she gave Hua Bao some instructions and then went back to her room to sleep.

Inside the wooden house.

Chu Hui had a bit of dry food and then lay down to rest.

He had a double-layer air sleeping bag and occupied half of the fireplace; his treatment was exceptionally good.

As for the remaining four men assigned to stand guard at night, they simply made a bed with a waterproof cloth to rest in turns.

At the moment, Ding Dayong, with his two minions, were quietly playing a game of Fight the Landlord with a dirty deck of playing cards by the weak firelight.

At the wooden door, a man stood guard with a gun.

The wind and snow were too intense outside, so he sat on the ground, behind the door.

Hua Bao hung upside down from the ceiling like a bat, its little eyes revolving vigilantly, closely watching the few people in the cabin.

Time seemed to blur, and the three men playing cards finally yawned and lay back on the stiff bed.

Soon after, the sound of snoring rose and fell.

Currently on the night watch was the man with a rosacea nose, Tang Xiaochuan.

Seeing the others asleep, his head began to droop slowly, like a pecking chicken.

Hua Bao slithered down to the ground and stretched out its vines, tickling the men’s noses and ears lightly with its five little leaves.

The men were fast asleep, so they simply scratched a bit and mumbled in their sleep before continuing to snooze deeply.

Once Hua Bao felt the time was right, it quickly notified Jiang Yan in the space that the people outside were as good as dead.

Jiang Yan put on her coat, and after donning a mask and night-vision goggles, she finally stepped out of the space.

Hua Bao had already extended transparent vines as she had instructed, entangling the bodies of the five sleeping men without exerting much force.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

“…”

Jiang Yan, holding the tranquilizer gun, took aim at each man.

The anesthetic’s effects were powerful enough to down an elephant, took effect in three seconds, and lasted for at least forty minutes.

Although there was ample time, Jiang Yan didn’t dawdle.

After shooting the men, she had Hua Bao test their reactions.

Once sure they were unconscious like dead pigs, she retrieved black tech tie wraps from the space that she had used before.

She tied up their hands and feet and sealed their mouths with black carpet tape, then collected their personal belongings and weapons into her space.

When everything was done, only ten minutes had passed.

There would be at least half an hour before the effects of the tranquilizer wore off and they awoke.

Jiang Yan decisively dragged a stool over and sat by the fire.

“Ow~” A scream came from outside.

Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed slightly, then she realized it was that white Reindeer outside.

She stood up, glanced at the people still deeply asleep and tied up together, told Hua Bao to keep an eye on them, then opened the door and stepped out.
