69: Doing great things

Song Jian and the other two were full of expectation.

Lin Wan's sudden arrival was simply a huge surprise for them.

They all knew that following Lin Wan allowed them to accomplish many seemingly impossible things! Just like the Qingyun Squad back then.

"Great! You must take us with you!"

Song Jian was fire-element, Qi Zhou was ice-element, and Gu Bai was speed-element. All were Level Eight, belonging to the stronger category.

Lin Wan thought for a moment and naturally agreed.

After all, they were quite familiar with that place; bringing them along would save a lot of time.

Right now, the most important thing was to obtain the serum; everything else had to take a backseat.

"Okay, shall we eat first then?"

"Mm, we'll go wash up first. Qi Zhou is ice-element and I'm fire-element, so we can melt the ice to bathe. The reason we've been like this is to better conceal our aura and evade the search by the US."

Lin Wan nodded, showing understanding.

He looked at the empty small room and took out three sets of brand-new men's casual clothes.

Although it was the global perpetual night now, the temperature was basically normal. It was March, just slightly colder than before, so these clothes were perfect.

"Here, take these. You guys wash up first, and we'll go into the space to organize things."

The three took the clean clothes, and their favorable impression of Lin Wan deepened by another hundred percent.

"Okay."

Seeing the two of them disappear on the spot, the few others hastily pulled over a curtain and began to bathe.

Entering the space, Lin Wan looked at the mutated beasts crowded together and pursed her lips into a smile.

To prevent them from flying around randomly and damaging the food and items organized within the space.

Before they arrived, Shen Mo Chi had already demarcated a large exclusive area for them and surrounded them with an electric fence.

"Mo Chi, although we didn't bring the army, the mutated beasts the leader gave us are also super powerful. If my space wasn't infinitely large, this big eagle wouldn't even fit in here!"

Shen Mo Chi wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Mm, but even if these were given to others, they wouldn't be able to control so many large Mythical Beasts at once."

"It's because you have a high-level mental-element ability that you can control them so well. Sigh, our Wanwan is truly too amazing and outstanding; I'm starting to feel a sense of crisis."

Lin Wan blinked her big eyes and tilted her head to look at him.

"Shen Mo Chi, listening to you, why does that sound a bit sour?"

Shen Mo Chi looked down at her, his eyes filled with affection.

"The way Song Jian looks at you is different. We are both men; I can understand."

Lin Wan chuckled looking at his domineering and displeased expression.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and coaxed him gently:

"Husband, you are much more handsome than them. I only like you like this, and only you like this. Moreover, Shen Mo Chi, remember this: no one can replace your position in my heart."

Shen Mo Chi, who was always easy to placate, was cheered up with just a few words.

The corners of his lips lifted, and he gave her a fleeting kiss on the lips.

"Baby, you can only be mine."

"Okay, I am yours, and you are mine too, haha."

Lin Wan examined his slightly weary expression and hurried to pour him a cup of spiritual spring water.

"You flew the helicopter for about ten hours and then rushed around working without stopping. After eating later, go rest for a while; we still have things to do tonight."

"If things go smoothly, we can get the serum tonight. As soon as we get it, we'll set off. Yi Nian doesn't know how she is doing. In short, the sooner the better."

"Mm. Don't worry too much. Didn't Professor Li say that even if the progress is fast, it should be fine to bring it back within a week?"

Lin Wan and the others didn't come out until an hour later, giving Song Jian and the others ample time.

The three vagrants instantly transformed into three handsome men with resolute expressions and imposing demeanors.

It was clear they had cleaned themselves up too.

Lin Wan smiled and said:

"Then let's eat first, discuss things while eating, and after eating, everyone can go rest for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Song Jian got up to fetch some mutated beast meat.

Actually, with their abilities, they didn't need to live so miserably; they could go to the trading market to exchange for better provisions. However, they were being hunted across a large area right now and dared not show their faces.

So they could only make do with eating this to fill their stomachs.

Lin Wan reached out to stop him.

"No need, I'll treat everyone, and thank you all for your help."

Lin Wan took out a large dining table from the space.

"Braised Pork Ribs, Potato Chicken Wings, Spicy Bullfrog, Cold Tossed Beef, Oil-braised Prawns, Sweet and Sour Fish... Dumplings, and a large pot of fragrant, plump white rice."

Lin Wan had hoarded a lot previously, and since there was too much food in the space, they weren't eating these every day, so there were still some left.

Some were also made together when they were bored before; Ji Chuan's and Mo Chi's cooking skills were no worse than restaurants.

Once cooked, they were put into the space. Since they could be preserved indefinitely, they could be taken out whenever they wanted to eat.

In just a few minutes, the aroma filled the air, and steaming hot dishes filled the entire table.

The waves of fragrance intensely stimulated the taste buds of the three of them.

As they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, they almost wanted to cry.

It was the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and how long had it been since they ate these things unique to Great Huaxia!

Things that could be easily eaten before the Apocalypse were now almost extinct delicacies!

Seeing this, their longing for home grew even stronger.

At this moment, Gu Bai's stomach rumbled loudly.

He covered his stomach and smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, I really haven't had a full meal in a long time. Mutated beast meat is terrible; it's just enough to keep us from starving."

Lin Wan and Shen Mo Chi exchanged a knowing smile.

There were actually many people like them, scattered in the shadows, silently doing great deeds.

"Mm, it's okay, we're hungry too. Everyone, quickly pick up your chopsticks."

The three men were clearly starving and ate mouthful after mouthful.

They truly missed such delicious food.

One bowl was quickly finished, but they felt they had eaten too fast, so for the second bowl, they began to chew slowly and savor it carefully, not daring to waste a single grain of rice.

When Lin Wan saw they had eaten quite enough, she began to tell them about the night's operation.

"My main objective is definitely to get the serum in hand."

Song Jian and the other two nodded.

"Understood, we will definitely cooperate with all our might!"

After eating and cleaning up, Lin Wan and Shen Mo Chi entered the space to rest.

Song Jian communicated with his teammates and also started sleeping.

Although they were heading into a perilous situation that night, they slept incredibly soundly and peacefully this time—the most satisfying sleep they'd had since being hunted.

Lin Wan and Shen Mo Chi were indeed tired; they would likely have even less time to sleep going forward, so they needed to conserve their energy and rest well.

The two slept soundly, embracing each other.

They came out of the space at eight in the evening and ate spicy hot pot together again.

Everything was prepared; they just waited for one o'clock in the morning to start the operation.

Although it was perpetual night, for everyone's health, the schedules of all countries were still based on the time of day.

And around one o'clock was exactly when shifts changed and people were sleepiest.
