Lin Qiao gazed at that area. Hearing what Duan Juan said, she turned to her and smiled, “It’s okay. Here is fine. I can go over there alone.”
While speaking, she opened the car door and prepared to get off.
Duan Juan held her arm and said worriedly, “Are you really going there? That place is dangerous… Our Chief’s fire isn’t like an ordinary fire. Its power has declined by ninety percent, but it’s still very dangerous. It poisons people, and can corrode human bodies.”
Lin Qiao said to her, “It’s fine. I have my way to handle it. You should go back.”
Duan Juan looked at her and said, “No, we’ll wait for you. If you don’t show up until tonight, we’ll leave without you.”
Lin Qiao nodded and replied, “Good. I’m going now.”
She got off the car, then waved a hand toward the few people in the car and turned to head toward the area where the dark mist was rising from. Duan Juan and the others watched her walking that way with complicated feelings.
That place was extremely dangerous. Many people went there and never came back. Miss. Lu had just helped them, but now, she was walking into that dangerous place. Duan Juan and her people all felt not quite right watching her walk to that area, but she insisted and they couldn’t stop her.
When Lin Qiao walked far away, a figure suddenly darted out from behind a rock and landed on the roof of Duan Juan’s car, causing a loud thud. The people in the car immediately jumped out and pointed their guns at the person on the car roof.
Before Duan Juan saw that person’s face clearly, that person called her name. “Duan Juan?”
Duan Juan paused and looked at that person as she spoke with surprise, “Qian Xiaoai!”
That name sounded like a girl’s name, but in fact, the one standing on top of the car was a tall and strong man. Qian Xiaoai was also surprised to see Duan Juan. However, hearing her call his name, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “Just call me A… Please don’t call me by that name!” He leaped off the car and said.
Seeing that Duan Juan and the man knew each other, the other people slowly lowered their guns.
Qian Xiaoai was over six feet tall and muscular. He had a pretty delicate face, but had his head shaved. That hair-less head destroyed the comeliness of his face entirely.
“A, didn’t you leave with Great Captain and the others? Why are you here?” Duan Juan asked.
Qian Xiaoai rubbed a hand on his head while replying, “Great Captain sent me here to observe the place where our Chief went missing. But, that place has become like this. So, I can only wander in the surrounding area.
It turned out that he was sent here by Lin Feng. Qian Xiaoai had been Lin Feng’s subordinate since long ago.
“So, Great Captain sent you here. How long have you been here for?” Duan Juan asked.
Qian Xiaoai glanced at the dark mist in the sky, then answered the question dejectedly, “Over three months.”
“There months? So you… Didn’t our base break three months ago? Why did you stay here for such a long time?” said Duan Juan with surprise.
Qian Xiaoai turned back, then leaned against the car and sighed, “Great Captain said that I have to find Chief, dead or alive. I can’t approach that area, so I don’t know if Chief is really dead or not. Perhaps, she didn’t blow herself up, but has fallen into an unconscious, self-protective state.”
Duan Juan looked at him and said, “That’s only your guess, isn’t it? Is that the reason why you’ve been staying here all this long? When are you gonna leave?”
Qian Xiaoai looked at her, then smiled and said, “Does it sound like a self-deception? I think so too. I’m preparing to leave already, but you suddenly came here. I’m so happy to see a friend.”
Duan Juan nodded and said, “What a small world! Are you going to look for Great Captain and the others? Do you know where they are?”
Qian Xiaoai immediately got a little excited. “No, I was going to ask you. Do you know?”
Duan Juan pointed at where Lin Qiao headed to and said, “She does. I only know that they’re in Hangzhou, but I don’t have a specific location.”
Qian Xiaoai looked that way confusedly, asking, “Oh, who’s that woman?”
“She’s from Hangzhou, and she knows Deputy Chief and the others. She brought us the news about them. We haven’t verified the information she gave. We don’t have the time for that, so we can only believe her for now,” said Duan Juan.
“You haven’t verified the news? But it makes sense though. Deputy Chief and the others were heading to Sea City Base in the first place, so they should pass by Hangzhou. But, do you really just believe in her?” Qian Xiaoai asked.
“What other choice do we have? We have no other means to hear from Deputy Chief and the others. Also, this Miss. Lu killed Yang Jianhua and Huo Wu for us yesterday,” Duan Juan spread her hands and said.
That was why she chose to believe Lin Qiao.
“What! She killed that traitor!” Qian Xiaoai popped his eyes in surprise.
Duan Juan nodded and said, “Yeah! Not only did she kill Yang Jianhua and Huo Wu, but also helped us get our base back. But now… it has become a broken empty base. Long Yubai’s people had taken away almost all the supplies long ago.” After saying that, she sighed.
“As long as he’s dead… As long as he’s dead. That scum! If he didn’t drug our Chief, she wouldn’t need to come to this place to blow herself up just to distract those enemies!” Qian Xiaoai murmured at first, then suddenly cursed with an angry face.
“That’s right. He’s not the only one who deserves death. Long Yubai should die too. Everyone in his base should die!” Duan Juan clenched her teeth and responded with a cold face.
At that moment, Lin Qiao, their object of discussion, was eagerly rushing to where the dark mist was rising from.
‘Mama…’
Viney suddenly woke up. She might have sensed Lin Qiao’s excitement or the different vibe from the surrounding area. Lin Qiao gave a start, then slowed down.
“Are you awake? What’s wrong?” she asked.
‘Mama, you’re having a strong mood swing… And, I sensed a familiar scent. Eh? Mama, you found the source of the fire!’
Viney woke up completely. She spent a moment sensing the area around Lin Qiao, then suddenly added with a delightful surprise.
“Yes, I have. It’s right here. Viney… When I absorb all the fire in this place, will I remember what happened before?” While speaking, Lin Qiao saw the black fire which was burning on the ground.
It looked exactly like what she saw in her dreams. She felt that the fire belonged to her. Moreover, the fire contained the same kind of energy as her black mist.
More specifically, her black mist shared the same origin as the fire!
