CHAPTER 576: CHAPTER 574: THE SUSPICIOUS OUTSIDER

Jin Han turned his head and was about to leave. He had never imagined that just by showing off once, he could completely lose a patron like Cha Mi, who became thoroughly panicked. She clung to his arm in terror, desperately explaining, "I really know I was wrong, please don’t do this, I won’t dare to do it again. I’ll take good care of you all, don’t send me away."

For Jin Han, he only liked obedient women. Once she stopped being obedient, there was no longer any need for her to exist. In his philosophy, there were many women who were willing to offer themselves proactively; he saw no need to be hung up on one – if it breaks, just replace it.

Most important of all, he was very smart and knew well not to make an enemy of Su Mo. A big reason for accepting Cha Mi was for Su Mo’s sake, agreeing to the advances of Cha Mi who had taken the initiative.

So now that Su Mo was unhappy, Cha Mi really had no value worth his protection anymore.

Besides the handful of Crystal Stones on the counter, Jin Han left nothing of value or worth remembering for Cha Mi.

The shop owner looked at the stunned Cha Mi with disdain as he was about to take the excessive amount of Crystal Stones on the counter, but Cha Mi suddenly snatched them away and returned everything she had on her hand, "I don’t want them. Just one Crystal Stone for the bracelet I gave you."

She pocketed the rest and ran off without looking back.

Su Mo didn’t concern herself with what happened behind her. She wandered alone to the city wall’s gate, where the refugee camp had started to recruit people again due to the reopening broadcast.

A sizeable stir was taking place here.

It turned out that many of the people who had ventured out before had survived and were now congested at the entrance wanting to get in.

Su Mo easily learned about the situation by grabbing a soldier – Lu Chen had planned ahead. Both sides had people who had left, and their data was shared. This meant that if there were records of departures from the neighboring community, they would also have records here.

Even if someone wanted to slip through unnoticed, the Gatekeeper soldiers were not to be trifed with.

Among the crowd, there were no shortage of superpower users who, even if they tried to forcibly break through, were immediately dragged out.

Amidst all this, Su Mo was fortunate enough to spot Mo Yan. One didn’t need to guess that he had been driven back by the Beast Tide, hiding who knows where, and was now emerging again, trying to get in.

For a moment, Mo Yan didn’t recognize Su Mo. He was just continuously bribing the Gatekeeper with Crystal Stones, hoping to be allowed into the refugee camp.

He, who was always decisive in his actions, had now made a wrong decision out of fear of death and had stumbled. With the refugee camp’s cold rejection, he had no solution, and Su Mo had no interest in knowing what would become of him.

After strolling around the refugee camp and returning to the hotel, Zhao Changsheng’s door opened, and Li Qian came out looking refreshed, with several love bites on his neck.

When the two met in the hotel corridor, Li Qian closed the door and said in a gentle voice, "She’s still sleeping."

Su Mo nodded and, with a mischievous smile, approached him, "Did you deliberately get her drunk last night?"

Li Qian very calmly admitted it and seriously said, "I thought the timing was about right, I didn’t want to wait anymore."

In other words, even in front of him, Zhao Changsheng could be considered a toothless tigress. Su Mo couldn’t help but snicker, "Don’t forget to send her some food when she wakes up."

"Mm."

After their brief exchange, Lu Chen was also about to return, bringing good news that the task hall would be reopened from tomorrow, allowing everyone to freely take on missions outside. The radio broadcast had also announced this news again, and soon, many of the talents they needed would emerge. As for where to build the Bunker, they had not yet come to a conclusion.

Two years’ time – not too urgent, but also not ample. They needed to live it compactly.

The days passed peacefully like this for a while.

Su Mo spent her days eating and sleeping until today when a very special team arrived at their refugee camp.

Lu Chen entered the room with a stern face throughout. Su Mo had been observing the sheep she had planted on the tree when she saw his serious demeanor and straightened up to ask, "What’s wrong?"

"A group of foreigners has arrived."

Su Mo turned off the panel, her tone serious, "What’s their story?"

She hadn’t forgotten that her identity had been exposed in the eyes of the foreigners, and she still remembered that helicopter over Yellowstone City.

Lu Chen sat down beside her and said coldly, "They claim to be a technology team, but I didn’t let them in."

Su Mo stared at the table, thinking for a moment, "Can I meet them?"

"I don’t trust them," Lu Chen shook his head.

Su Mo took his hand and said, "It’s okay, they can’t do anything to me now, I just want to have a look."

At the main entrance, several dusty foreigners with deep-set features and bald heads were standing there, arguing with a group of soldiers about something.

From the first glance they saw Su Mo, their eyes burst with a dazzling light, and they said in very broken Mandarin, "Su, Mo."

They indeed recognized Su Mo, a realization that made Lu Chen tense up and instinctively protect her behind him.

"We are not here to capture anyone, we are here to seek refuge," the leading bald scientist said very sincerely.

Su Mo pulled Lu Chen’s hand, leading him over, and the soldiers parted to let them through.

Su Mo furrowed her brows, speaking warily, "Is it because of that damned medicine again? Tell me the truth, that worthless doctor just injected me with something to make me immune to magnetic control, the real medicine turned him into a monster a long time ago."

"We didn’t come for the medicine, or rather, that’s no longer our priority. Our homeland has abandoned us, the Ice Age is coming, and they don’t intend to take us with them, the Evolution Potion is no longer our primary goal."

The lead scientist spoke to them gravely.

Su Mo raised her eyebrows, "What’s that got to do with us? I can only say you got what you deserved."

Her words left the other side choked up, but then they added, "Didn’t your broadcast call for people to build a Bunker? We’ve seen such a place from the helicopter."

Su Mo narrowed her eyes, "Where?"

"Give us a place of refuge, and I will tell you."

With so many mouths to feed in the refugee camp, if these people were up to no good, secretly releasing some kind of biological weapon, that would be terrible.

Su Mo thought for a moment, then leaned in to whisper to Lu Chen.

The man nodded in agreement.

In the refugee camp, causing trouble meant being detained for a few days, and Jin Han was just the person in charge of this area.

It was just a dilapidated house, divided into dozens of rooms, each with someone watching over it.

After Lu Chen finished searching all the people thoroughly, he locked them in there, under 24-hour rotational guard, essentially a form of imprisonment.

These scientists couldn’t have possibly come over so easily on their own, so Su Mo called over Li Qian, and once he used his spiritual power, they quickly uncovered another group of people.
