Zhang Jie drove out of the city and plunged into the dark desert. She followed the instructions of the positioning signal and found a figure lying on the ground on the roadside of the desert road. That person was Cao Rui!

The pain all over her body made it impossible for her to move the unconscious Cao Rui into the car, so she could only shout and pat him to wake him up.

After tinkering for a while, Cao Rui's eyebrows moved slightly, and Zhang Jie was about to help him. Unexpectedly, Cao Rui suddenly opened his eyes! He pushed her away, pulled out the gun from his waist and shouted at her.

:

"Go away! Stay away from me!"

Zhang Jie was pushed to the ground, looking at Cao Rui who was nervous and didn't dare to move for a moment. They were in a stalemate like this for a few seconds, and Zhang Jie tentatively spoke:

"Old Cao, it's me, Zhang Jie."

With the help of the car's lights, Cao Rui squinted and saw clearly that the person slumped on the ground was indeed Zhang Jie, so he put down his gun and wanted to stand up, but the weakness in his body made it impossible for him to stand up after several struggles.

Zhang Jie struggled to get up and helped Cao Rui up.

"How's the situation over there?"

Cao Rui stood up staggeringly and looked at Zhang Jie, who was covered in scars:

"How did you get yourself into this?"

Zhang Jie helped Cao Rui back to the car and looked at herself in the reflector with a bruised face and a swollen face:

"The two security guards and cleaning staff we have been monitoring came to the door."

Cao Rui rubbed his legs, which were still numb, and looked at Zhang Jie, who was covered in scars, with a puzzled look on his face:

"Can they do this to you?"

A look of fear flashed across Zhang Jie's face, and her voice trembled as she spoke:

"I don't know why, he... they are like robots. They have no sense of pain and are extremely strong. I almost didn't escape! It feels like they are here to catch me, not like they are here to kill me."

Cao Rui breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's okay. Fortunately, you, a fighting champion, are here to carry out the mission. If it were Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhou and the others, who knows what would happen."

The fear on Zhang Jie's face faded a bit, but her doubts remained:

"I paid special attention when fighting them, and I didn't find the control device you mentioned on the back of their necks."

The numbness on Cao Rui's body has basically disappeared. He touched his whole body. There was no injury, and all the equipment before coma was in its original position. He suddenly thought of something:

“How long did my signal disappear?”

Zhang Jie looked at the time on the dashboard:

"It should be less than an hour."

Cao Rui was shocked:

"What? Less than an hour? Where are we now?"

Zhang Jie didn't answer her and pointed out the window. Cao Rui looked at the dim lights of Shadu City in the distance, feeling his scalp numb and unable to speak. His mind fell into deep fear.

Zhou Cheng was jogging in the community, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground. The surrounding green landscaping had lost its shape and was growing freely. The community was surprisingly quiet, and he was the only one who stepped on the leaves while running.

"Crack" sound echoed.

Suddenly, the same voice came from behind him. He looked back curiously, and it turned out to be Cao Rui. He was surprised and happy:

"Old Cao!"

He stopped running, turned around and trotted to Cao Rui:

"I'm home!"

He was smiling all over his face, but Cao Rui just smiled and nodded. His old friend's reaction surprised him a little:

"Found them?"

Zhou Cheng asked as he took out his cell phone and turned it off. This action almost became a conditioned reflex when he was talking to Cao Rui.

Cao Rui shook his head solemnly, and then walked with Zhou Cheng while telling Zhou Cheng about his and Zhang Jie's experiences in the northwest. Zhou Cheng listened to Cao Rui's story attentively, with an expression on his face.

Gradually it became lifeless.

"It seems that they knew your plan from the beginning to the end. They didn't let you know until the last moment, and everything they did was in vain."

Cao Rui still has lingering fears:

"I must have read the words on the stone pillar correctly. It was a warning of neither good nor evil. They even attacked Zhang Jie."

Zhou Cheng looked at Cao Rui nervously:

"How is she?"

Cao Rui shook his head slightly:

"This little girl is very capable of reaching out, otherwise it would be hard to say what the consequences would be, but she would still be covered in bruises when she escaped."

"Then how did you get out?"

Cao Rui had an extremely rare look of fear in his eyes:

"I fainted before I knew it, and it took me from the oasis to the outside of Shadu City in less than half an hour."

Zhou Cheng took a breath of cold air and froze in place. Cao Rui added:

"Rain Man is using us to prove that we can't do things that they are not easy to mess with!"

Zhou Cheng stopped and said meaningfully:

"This is more like an ultimatum! Tell us that they have the ability to defeat the enemy to the death!"

Cao Rui looked around and took out his cigarette case:

"By the way, when I was about to lose consciousness, I bit open the epinephrine capsule I had in my mouth. This thing is very effective against anesthetic drugs. I felt like there were some fragmented scenes after I fell into coma, but I couldn't think of it.

Start with the details.”

While they were talking, they had already returned to the small courtyard of Zhou Cheng's villa.

"If I have a chance, I'll find you an expert in this field and see if I can help you remember some useful details. Come in and sit down for a while!"

Cao Rui shook his head, looked up and down at Zhou Cheng, who was wearing sportswear, and his usual sly smile returned to his face:

"I won't go, there are still a lot of things to do in the bureau. Hey... I said Lao Zhou, your Academy of Sciences is not busy anymore? Do you still have free time to exercise at home?"

Zhou Cheng smiled bitterly:

"It's weird if you're not busy. Liu Chaowen's last plan to build an ultra-high-energy particle accelerator on the moon has been approved. The Academy of Sciences asked Liu Chaowen and I to go on-site to inspect the project site. I am an old man and my physical indicators are still barely adequate.

I can withstand the launch requirements of Project Carmen. People at the space center asked me to exercise again to prevent my body from getting used to it."

Cao Rui laughed and said:

"Haha, yes. Lao Zhou, there is still a chance to go to the moon. But that's right. If there is a problem in building that behemoth there, it will be a big waste. You experts are right to check it."

As he spoke, Cao Rui's face sank slightly:

"There is nothing new with Liu Chaowen."

Zhou Cheng shook his head:

"It's pretty normal, but I heard from Lao Liu that he has less communication now."

Cao Rui nodded slowly:

"I can only take my time with Rainman's investigation. They are stronger than my initial judgment. Future investigations will be more difficult."

Zhou Changcheng sighed, his eyes a little empty:

"There are alien invaders in orbit in the sky, a group of forces underground that we can't find, and a Liu Chaowen who we can't figure out now. Our road to survival will be extremely bumpy."
