Those who travel back in time

Chapter 51 Wish

After several encounters with the white-haired man in the cycle, Chen Qing didn't think he was bluffing, so he pointed his gun at the man with the blue-rimmed glasses.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, I really don't know where Yuan Tiangang is!" the man with the blue-rimmed glasses exclaimed.

"Don't know?" Chen Qing pulled the trigger and fired a shot into the shoulder of the man with the blue-rimmed glasses.

"I really don't know!" The man with the blue-rimmed glasses was sweating profusely from the pain. "Yuan Tiangang is very mysterious. He never shows himself. I don't even know where he is, let alone what he looks like!"

"Then how did he assign you tasks?"

"There's a serialized novel online. He'll post encrypted commands in the chapters of the novel. Whenever the novel is updated, we'll know there's a mission, and we'll go and carry it out."

"You don't even know what Yuan Tiangang looks like, yet you're willing to risk your life for him?"

"Yuan Tiangang would give generous rewards for each completed mission."

"How will the payment be made?"

"It's also in novels that a location is given where gold is buried."

"So how did you contact him?"

"We can't contact him; he's the one who contacts us."

Chen Qing frowned. This Yuan Tiangang was truly elusive; even if they found the members of Tuibeilou, they still couldn't find him.

However, one thing is certain: Yuan Tiangang's predictions about the future were not exaggerated.

The only gain this time was that online novel. Since the novel was serialized online, the author needed to register and provide their identity information.

Although Chen Qing felt that Yuan Tiangang, being so cautious, would definitely not register using his real information, she still asked Li Qilin to check.

The novel's registered author is a 23-year-old youth, but the novel was definitely not written by him because he is blind. Yuan Tiangang misused his identity information.

The IP address was traced to Africa, which was clearly not Yuan Tiangang's actual hiding place.

Tianhai Hospital does have inside agents, and more than one, but none of them are Yuan Tiangang's men; they are just doing things for money.

They didn't even know "Tui Bei Lou" or "Yuan Tiangang"; it was the white-haired man and the blue-rimmed glasses who came into contact with them.

Ever since he learned about Yuan Tiangang and Tuibeilou, Chen Qing had been trying to find them. Now that he had finally found them, his doubts were not only not resolved, but even more so.

He specifically inspected the warehouse at Wangxia Innovation Park, and judging from the traces left at the scene, it was clear that more than one vial of serum had been destroyed there.

Was the Tuibei Building the mastermind behind the apocalypse?

If so, why are they also destroying serum?

If not, then what was the "Great Purge" all about?

Li Qilin has done his best to investigate, but neither Tianhai Hospital nor the medical logistics vehicle that transported the serum could find Yuan Tiangang. At most, they could only find some people who took money to do things, and they knew less than that guy with the blue-rimmed glasses.

All leads have gone cold.

"Brother Qing, don't worry, we'll definitely get new clues." Li Mengfei came over to comfort Chen Qing, who was feeling a bit down because he had no leads.

"I know," Chen Qing said.

"Brother Qing, shall we go shopping?" Li Mengfei suddenly suggested.

"shop?"

"Yes, Brother Qing, every time you come back, it's for a mission, to save the world. You're putting too much pressure on yourself. You should relax a bit. Our teacher taught us in elementary school that we should know how to balance work and rest."

"You go, Mengfei, I won't go." Chen Qingzhen had no interest.

"Oh, Qing-ge, just keep me company, okay?" Li Mengfei grabbed Chen Qing's arm. "Maybe Dad will find a clue when we get back from shopping."

"Chen Qing, Mengfei is right, you should take some time to rest. Saving the world is too heavy a burden; carrying it all the time will break you," Li Qilin said. "I've used all the resources to investigate, and there will definitely be new clues, don't worry."

"Let's go, Qing-ge." Li Mengfei pulled Chen Qing away.

Chen Qing wasn't actually very enthusiastic. When he first returned from the apocalypse, he was still a little curious about this beautiful world without zombies and had a desire to explore it. But now that he had traveled back and forth so many times, he had gotten used to it.

Li Mengfei, on the other hand, was very excited, chattering incessantly around Chen Qing like a happy sparrow.

Instead of going to the upscale shopping mall she used to frequent, she went to the food street and bought almost every kind of snack. Chen Qing's mouth never stopped moving from the moment she left the house.

At the street corner, there was an old man making sugar paintings. He scooped up a spoonful of melted sugar syrup, and with a flick of his wrist, a lifelike rabbit took shape.

This was the first time Chen Qing had ever seen sugar painting, so she couldn't help but take another look.

"Brother Qing, this looks good, let's go take a look." Li Mengfei noticed and immediately pulled Chen Qing to the stall.

"What would you like painted?" the old man asked with a smile as he saw the guests approaching.

"Brother Qing, what are you drawing?" Li Mengfei asked Chen Qing.

"Draw..." Chen Qing really didn't know what to draw. After living in the apocalypse for twenty years, what did he still like?

"Let's draw a little horse!" Li Mengfei said, making the decision for Chen Qing when she saw that he couldn't make up his mind.

"Why a horse, and not a pig, but a rabbit?" Chen Qing asked curiously.

"The little horse is so cute, of course it has to be the little horse." Li Mengfei scanned the code to pay, and after the horse drawing was finished, she handed it to Chen Qing: "Brother Qing, you eat it, it'll definitely be sweet."

Aren't you going to eat?

"I'll draw another one. Qing-ge, we've been out here for so long, and you've been following me the whole time. Don't you have anywhere you'd like to go?"

"I'll go with you..." As Chen Qing looked up, she noticed that there was actually a movie theater behind the sugar painting stall.

"Brother Qing, do you want to see a movie?" Li Mengfei asked after noticing Chen Qing's gaze.

"See?" Chen Qing said.

"Brother Qing, you've finally shown some interest," Li Meng said happily.

Actually, Chen Qing himself wasn't very enthusiastic about movies, but his older brother Chen Hai loved watching movies, and he basically went to see all the movies that his brother dragged him to.

My brother's wish is to open his own movie theater when he grows up, so he can spend every day in the theater.

"Brother Qing, what movie are we watching?" Li Mengfei asked again as they entered the theater.

"Anything you like is fine with me." Chen Qing casually glanced at the posters in the theater.

Finally, Li Mengfei chose the movie where Chen Qing had recently stopped in front of the poster.

"Chen Qing, we have a lead." Li Qilin called right after I bought the tickets and hadn't even seen the movie yet.

"That's great!" Chen Qing's spirits immediately lifted.

"What's so great, Brother Qing?" Li Mengfei asked, holding a large bucket of popcorn in one hand and a can of cola in the other.

"We've got a lead, let's go back right away."

"Huh? We haven't seen the movie yet."

"I'll see next time."

"Damn it! Couldn't you have called later?!" Li Mengfei stomped her foot in anger.
