Chapter 125: Return to the City
When the Adepts under the command of the Mo family who had entered the city to collect supplies returned, all they saw were blood-stained ships and corpses lying quietly aside.
"Boss, what's going on?" One of them asked the leader. Their strength in the base ranks in the top three, and it is precisely because of this that the Mo family will envelop them. With the support of the Mo family, no one in Beicheng dared to do anything to this team of supernatural beings. This time I only went out for half a day, and when I came back, I saw that the Mo family, who had always been regarded as his backer, had been washed in blood, and this fear from the bottom of my heart made this team of returning people blind.
"You ask me! I asked who to go! The leader said irritably, he originally thought that he would always be able to eat and drink spicy food with the Mo family, and he never thought that the Mo family would have such a day. The point is that they don't know who did it yet.
Not to mention the group of people who were at a loss at the Jiangcheng wharf, Wang Meng and Yang Qing were leading everyone to run wildly towards Nancheng at this time, the personnel loss of this operation mission was not large, more than 100 people were brought out, more than 80 people were brought back, and nearly 300 people of the Mo family were killed, which was generally successful.
The speeding convoy crossed the mountains and mountains in the dark night, and Mo Yiping was blindfolded and thrown aside since he was brought into the car. At this point, he gradually came to his senses, and the pain in the back of his neck reminded him of what had happened in the afternoon. His hands and feet were tied, his eyes were blindfolded, there was no sound around him, the only thing he could feel was that he was sitting in a car that he didn't know where to go.
"This, where is this? Who are you? Mo Yiping tried to ask.
Tang Yiyi, who was in charge of guarding Mo Yiping, glanced at him, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, seemingly not intending to pay attention to Mo Yiping. Mo Yiping, who couldn't get an answer, was even more worried in his heart, he didn't know why this group of people left him alone instead of killing him like the others.
People are always afraid of death, they don't know where they are, and Mo Yiping, whose net worth is in the hands of others, can be said to be quite afraid at this time. He curled up, letting go of all his thoughts, nervously feeling everything around him. The slightest sound would make his heart beat sharply.
Wang Meng and Yang Qing, who had been on the road overnight, finally rushed back to Nancheng before the sun rose, and at this time, Mu Jingyu had already arranged for entering the city. Before Tang got out of the car, he glanced at Mo Yiping, who had been nervous all night, very contemptuously, raised his hand, and cleanly made Mo Yiping sink into the darkness again.
The morning light had not yet appeared, and under the gray sky, the residents of the southern city were still asleep, and no one knew that a team that had completed their mission had entered the city at this time. Yang Qing held the unconscious Mo Yiping on his shoulder, and he wanted to sneak into Beicheng before dawn and send Mo Yiping to Mo Yubing's door. The connecting bridge has not been under martial law for the past two nights, and the apparent reason is that the crisis in Beicheng has not been completely resolved, and if there is any accident, it is better to transfer it in time, in fact, the reason why Mu Jingyu agreed to do this is to smuggle Mo Yiping from Nancheng to Beicheng unknowingly. Only by safely sending Mo Yiping to Mo Yubing can Mo Yubing's black cauldron be more reliable.
"Mo Yubing is now in the Mo family's mansion, you just need to throw this kid at the door, and someone will naturally deal with the rest after dawn." Mu Jingyu said to Yang Qing that after completing this last step, they only needed to wait for Mo Yubing to return and watch the show.
Yang Qing nodded in understanding, moved his hands and feet for a while, and then turned into a black shadow and left. Mu Jingyu chuckled, Mo Yubing probably never dreamed that they would send Mo Yiping to him in such a way.
Yang Qing ran through the deserted streets, his hair wet with the morning dew. Carrying Mo Yiping made his speed drop somewhat, but it was enough to rush across the connecting bridge unconsciously.
The soldiers stationed at the connecting bridge were a little sleepy at this time, and they stood all night at the post, and they couldn't see a ghost, which made their spirits slack, whether it was the south city or the north city, they were all a little drowsy at this time, and their silent eyes looked at the front mechanically. Seeing this situation, Yang Qing secretly said that when he came back, he turned Mo Yiping, who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, upside down, changed to a more comfortable and stable position, concentrated the abnormal energy he felt in his body to his feet, turned into an afterimage, and ran over the bridge in one breath. The gust of wind brought up made the originally depressed guards feel a little more energetic, and they looked left and right suspiciously, but they didn't see a single figure, so they took the somewhat inexplicable wind that came just now as a river breeze.
At this time, in the shadow of a corner not far from the connecting bridge, Yang Qingzheng was smiling proudly. He saw that the guards on both sides did not notice him before leaving with confidence. There was already a white fish belly on the horizon, and he had to move faster.
The location of the Mo family's home is not difficult to find, according to the map drawn by Mu Jingyu, he found the "rich area" in the north city very smoothly, and like the south city, the people who live here are basically the most powerful people in the base. Although he didn't know which specific mansion the Mo family's house was, Yang Qing naturally put Mo Yiping in front of the door of the largest mansion. With the character of the Mo family, they would not choose the second largest mansion as their own mansion at all.
After doing all this, Yang Qing found a corner that was not easy to attract attention and quietly observed what was going on.
As the sun rises, there are more and more people on the streets, and although this is the so-called "rich area", there is also a lot of trust on the road. Yang Qing soon found that a few people were deliberately standing in front of the Mo family's door and pointing at Mo Yiping who was lying on the ground, and soon, there was a circle of people around, and I don't know who shouted in the crowd, "Isn't this the son of the Mo family who escaped from the base two days ago?" How do you sleep on the street? ”
As soon as Mo Yiping's identity was revealed, the whispers around him gradually turned into whispers. Seeing this, Yang Qing smiled happily, the task was considered successful only when it reached this point. It doesn't matter why Mo Yiping is here, the important thing is to let everyone in Beicheng know that Mo Yiping returned to Beicheng one step ahead of Mo Yubing and unscathed. As for the reason, some people have speculated.
Mo Yubing in the Mo family's mansion is enjoying the only stable sleep in so many days, yesterday he persuaded the drumming forces to join his side, in this way, he has almost half of the Mo family's resources in his hands, coupled with the secret support of the Mu family, even if Mo Yubing comes back now, he has enough strength to fight against him. And the good calculation in his heart is to cooperate with Mu Jingyu to contain Mo Yubing, and at the same time use his Mo family identity to stabilize Mo Yubing. Slowly grow your own power, and finally take it all on both sides. In Mo Yubing's heart, he has never liked a three-legged situation, what he wants is hegemony.
More and more people gathered at the door of the Mo family, and finally alarmed the people of the Mo family. Mo Yubing, who was still dreaming, was awakened by a quick knock on the door, and opened the door in a very bad mood and said, "You'd better have a fatal emergency!" ”
The person who knocked on the door didn't have a good impression of the side branch who came to occupy the magpie's nest when the owner was not there, but on the surface he still returned respectfully, "Your son seems to have fainted at the door." ”
Mo Yubing, who was woken up in the early morning and his mind was not very sensitive, asked in a daze, "What did you say?" ”
After the subordinate patiently said what he had just said again, Mo Yubing, who was originally confused, seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, and he strode out of the door of the Mo family without caring about the pajamas he was wearing, and after seeing the familiar figure curled up on the ground, he only felt that all the blood on his body rushed to his brain.
He asked Mo Zhu, who heard the wind and rushed over, to hug Mo Yiping, and hurriedly returned to the Mo family's mansion to close the door, isolating the outside to explore the sight. Looking at Masaka's son, who was sleeping on the bed, he suddenly asked about the taste of conspiracy.
"Mo Zhu, go check it out, what's going on?" Mo Yubing instructed with an unkind face, he was very happy about Mo Yiping's safe return, so that he would have one less chance to be threatened by Mo Yubing. But this matter is full of weirdness, and he has been in politics for many years, and he is very keenly aware that there may be a big conspiracy behind this matter.
No matter what Mo Yubing thought, Yang Qing, who had successfully completed the task, returned to the villa very happily, at this moment, Ye Fan and Feiqian and others had already gotten up, and Ye Fan was very happy to see Yang Qing and Wang Meng, who had not seen each other for a few days.
"You're back?" Ye Fan happily greeted Yang Qing and Wang Meng, without Wang Meng playing treasure on the side every day, Ye Fan felt that life was a lot less fun.
"I'm back, and if I don't come back, I'm going to be sucked dry by those mosquitoes in the grass." Wang Meng was sitting on the sofa and scratching here, scratching there, like a flea on his body. Although there is no longer a high fever and tissue necrosis after being bitten by a mutated mosquito, there are still mosquito bags on his body, and Wang Meng's arms are full of red dots at this time, itching his heart and scratching his liver.
"Mission accomplished?" Fei Qian casually threw a bottle of transparent liquid to Wang Meng and motioned for him to apply it to the itchy area.
"It's done, it's very successful, this time the Mo family can't jump up again." Wang Mengle dipped his fingers in a little transparent liquid and applied it to Yang Qing first. A refreshing mint smell instantly fills the air, making people feel refreshed.
Ye Fan knew what the task Wang Meng was talking about, so he didn't plan to ask more, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, I met a person who looked exactly like Old Man Yuan in Nancheng in the two days you left, and I was going to see him in a while, do you want to go?" ”
"Looks like Old Man Yuan?" Wang Meng was intrigued.
"Well, yes, the temperament is similar. Fei Qian said that it might be Old Man Yuan's twin brother. Ye Fan nodded and said affirmatively. In the past two days, Ye Fan went to Mu Jingyu to inquire, and two days later, he finally found out where the old man was. Hearing Ye Fan say that the old man was most likely an agricultural expert, he agreed to recommend him without thinking about it.
"Hehe, the old urchin of Old Man Yuan still has a younger brother like him? Go! I'm going! Wang Meng said excitedly.
"Go, I won't go. I'm going to get a good night's sleep. Yang Qing, who has worked the hardest in the past few days, said that except for the first night, Yang Qing returned to the station to rest, and the remaining two days were spent on the trees.
Nancheng, an agricultural production area.
At this time, the old man like Old Man Yuan was digging the dry land with a hoe alone, and when he entered the base, he filled in and his specialty was naturally farming, but because he had no background and was old, the task assigned to him was weeding and the like, and he couldn't say a word about the major events in agricultural production. This made him depressed, and seeing that the base was now empty, he was even more anxious. The time he met Ye Fan was that he wanted to go to the research institute to appeal, and the result was of course predictable.
Under the governance of the Mu family, the atmosphere in Nancheng is naturally good, but it is far from the point where anyone who puts forward opinions will be fully faced, which is also unrealistic. In the absence of any results, who knows if you are talking nonsense in order to improve your own treatment.
When Ye Fan and Wang Meng arrived, what they saw was a silver-haired old man bent over, hoeing the ground little by little, with a small bucket next to him. The surrounding fields were all covered with tall weeds, and only a small patch of land where the old man was bare, and the soil looked moist, not very large as in other places.
"He weeds and loosens the soil on his little patch every morning. Hey, he can't plant anything now, and I don't know what he's doing it for. To tell the truth, he was very touched by the old man's behavior, and he could see that the old man had an unusual enthusiasm for the land and production, but he thought he was stupid, and he couldn't grow anything and worked in vain, so it was better to save some effort, so that even if he ate less, he would not be too hungry.
"He's what we're looking for, thank you for bringing us here." Ye Fan thanked the person who led the way, and then walked towards the old man who was concentrating on the field. Ye Fan didn't know why the person asked just now, she only knew that she was already sure that this person was a relative of Old Man Yuan, and the love for farmland in his bones was not something that every family member has.
"Old gentleman." Ye Fan greeted the old man politely.
The old man straightened his back, glanced back, and found that Ye Fan was the girl he met at the gate of the research institute that day, and his face unconsciously showed a look of surprise.
And even more surprised than the old man was Wang Meng, who followed Ye Fan to join in the fun. Although he was mentally prepared, when he saw the person carved out of the same mold as Old Man Yuan, Wang Meng still grew his mouth in surprise.
"Girl, are you looking for me?" The old man glanced at the big stupid man who seemed to have seen something terrible on the side, and decided to ignore him.
"Old man, do you know Yuan Mingzhi?" Ye Fan asked with a smile, Old Man Yuan's name was only learned by asking Fei Qian before she went out this morning.
"Do you know Yuan Mingzhi?" The old man seemed a little excited, he and his brother were no longer in the same place, and after the end of the world, they lost contact, they finally arrived at the base, and also issued a mission to find people in the mission hall, but there has been no news, a year has passed, and he is almost desperate. At this time, I suddenly heard someone mention it, and of course I was very excited in my heart.
Ye Fan nodded with a smile and continued, "We came from the Beihai base, and he is now in the Beihai base, and he is doing well." ”
The old man was very relieved, and then began to look at the two people in front of him. In the past few days, the whole base has been spreading, and it is said how powerful the few people who came from the Beihai base are. The old man didn't expect that the people of Nancheng would stand in front of him like this, and it seemed that he had made a special trip to find him.
"Old man! Are you really Old Man Yuan's younger brother? Wang Meng asked.
The old man nodded, "My name is Yuan Yangzhi, and I am twins with Yuan Mingzhi. He didn't get angry at Wang Meng's name for his twin brother, on the contrary, he rushed to a touch of kindness. can call his brother like this, I think their relationship should be very good.
"That's right." Ye Fan said happily, "This time we came to you on a special trip. I have some things here, which were given to us by Old Man Yuan before I left the Beihai base, and I haven't been able to find a suitable person to take over, so I'll leave it to you now. Ye Fan smiled and handed over a few small cloth bags in his hand to Yuan Yangzhi's hands.
Yuan Yangzhi thought that Yuan Mingzhi had heard the news of his base in Jiangcheng and asked someone to bring him some things. When I opened it, it looked like the fruit of some plant. He looked at Ye Fan suspiciously.
"These are the brainchild of Old Man Yuan, and when I was at the base before, I would be talked about by him for a long time." Ye Fan smiled and introduced the origin of these things to Yuan Yangzhi in detail. I saw that the more he listened, the more excited he became, and in the end, even his face turned red with excitement.
"That's the way it is. We didn't know anything about agriculture, so we thought of it and handed it over to someone in charge of Nancheng full-time, but it was delayed because of various things. I'll leave it to you now, and it's a kind of fate. Ye Fan said.
"Good, good, good." Yuan Yangzhi said three times in a row excitedly, Ye Fan's visit today not only brought him news of distant relatives, but also brought him hope for farming after the end of the world. This made Yuan Yangzhi, who had always been depressed, his eyes red, with these seeds, human beings no longer had to just stare at the food that had been preserved.
"Don't worry, girl, I won't let you down." Yuan Yangzhi carefully tied the mouths of the cloth bags one by one, for fear of dropping a seed to the ground.
"When I go back today, I will tell Mu Jingyu to send you a few people. Later, if I have time, this big man and I will come to help you, so don't dislike me for being clumsy. Ye Fan misses the time when she worked in the fields with Old Man Yuan in the Beihai base before, although she was in the base, she could also feel a little bit of the idyllic leisure of "leisurely appearing in Nanshan".
