Seeing that he was truly scared, Xu Qian gently comforted him, "If you don't want to learn, then don't. Let's change our clothes first, okay?"
The young man let out a low hum.
With a thought, Xu Qian conjured a set of black sportswear.
"You change here, I'll change over there."
"Sister, you can change here."
Xu Qian: "...You're a boy, I'm a girl, we need to change separately."
Xu Lu tilted his head, not seeing any problem with changing together.
"You're my older sister, it's okay."
She thought it was a big problem!
Xu Qian glanced at his innocent and handsome face. Children were indeed children.
"I'll be back quickly. Hurry up and change, don't be so fussy."
Scolded, Xu Lu lowered his head and meekly said "oh".
Aren't we all just flesh...
Why is my sister angry?
With a flicker of her body, Xu Qian entered her spatial dimension.
She took a quick shower and changed into a matching black tracksuit before coming out.
Xu Lu had also changed and was standing still, not daring to move. As soon as he saw Xu Qian, he immediately hugged her arm and refused to let go.
Xu Qian shook her head and turned on her flashlight.
The place was vast, its end not visible. They could only see black rocks all around. They had fallen into a lake.
The living map showed no route, so they had to walk blindly.
She looked up at the place where they had jumped down. It was now completely dark.
Who would build a mechanism here? And a lake below it? Were they afraid that people falling into the lake would die?
They walked along the uneven stone path, reaching a larger cave. There were no lights inside, and it wound and turned, seemingly without end.
Xu Qian didn't know how long they had walked when suddenly, a string of foreign languages reached her ears. It sounded familiar, likely German.
"What's going on with the X Group? They've been messed up like this recently by a woman!"
"If Song Xiaoping doesn't come back, they're all finished."
"Of course, we'll take them one country at a time, what's the rush."
During her time with Tang Zhiyuan, she had some exposure to German. Tang Zhiyuan had taught her a few phrases, and what they were saying wasn't complicated. She understood the general meaning.
The people behind the X Group were actually hiding in the desert?
At first, she thought the Yu family was responsible for the apocalypse. Later, she uncovered the X Group, and now this...
How many layers of connections were there?
Xu Qian did not act rashly. She leaned close to Xu Lu's ear and whispered, "Xiao Lu, absolutely, absolutely do not speak, understand?"
Xu Lu nodded obediently.
The two carefully approached the source of the sound and peeked inside.
The voices were coming from a cave. From a distance, they saw a white round table set up in the cave, with four blonde, blue-eyed men in a meeting.
Outside the cave stood two bodyguards armed with guns.
Inside the meeting room was a large shelf, filled with bottles of colorful experimental liquids.
A hint of darkness flashed in Xu Qian's eyes. They were using these to turn Country Z into this state, weren't they?
Suddenly, a man in military uniform ran into the meeting room. He leaned down and whispered a few words to one of the foreigners, then the group suddenly stood up and rushed towards their location.
Xu Qian quickly pulled Xu Lu behind a pile of large rocks.
Fortunately, there were many rocks, and the two of them successfully hid.
Xu Qian guessed that they had discovered the mechanism had been opened and had rushed out to check if anyone was in the pool.
After they left, the two walked into the cave's meeting room.
Xu Qian's lips curved upwards. With a wave of her hand, she collected all the experimental liquids on the wall into her spatial dimension.
Let's see how you'll do research in the future!
"Xiao Lu, let's go."
The two ran in another direction. After winding and turning for a long time, they finally saw light.
Soldiers were guarding the entrance. Judging by their uniforms, they were not soldiers from Country Z.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes. Foreigners were both inside and out.
"Who are you??"
Several guns were pointed directly at their heads.
