Watching Yao Ran leave, Hao Ze hugged his wife tightly and whispered, "Don't worry, Wife. I will save our son... and you."
Leaning into his embrace, his wife remained silent, but a flicker of light appeared in her numb, empty eyes.
Meanwhile, the two men who narrowly escaped death had run a great distance. Realizing that Yao Ran wasn't pursuing them, they collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
After catching his breath, one of them muttered, "Th–that woman is insane."
The other man nodded in agreement, but he was too exhausted to speak.
Seeing his companion sprawled on the ground like a dead fish, the first man kicked him and urged, "Get up! We need to report this to our client."
The man on the ground groaned and asked, "Are you sure you want to report this matter to that Young Master? What if he kills us?"
The other man hesitated for a while before clenching his fists. "If we don't report back, we will be hunted down anyway. Better to report and beg for mercy from that Young Master."
After considering his words, the other man reluctantly agreed, "Alright."
With their minds made up, they forced themselves up and headed to the Mission Hall to find the Young Master's subordinate.
Meanwhile, Yao Ran's watch chimed with a notification as she made her way back to Tower F. Hearing the alert, she glanced at the screen.
[Attention to all personnel. Please report your location and proceed to the new headquarters immediately.]
Yao Ran's eyes lit up as she read the message. Rubbing her chin, she fell into deep thought.
'Looks like The Origin managed to find a safe place. I wonder how Captain Wu and Yao Yuechuan are doing. Maybe I should try to contact them.'
With that thought in mind, Yao Ran quickly sent a message to check on their situation and location.
After confirming that the message was successfully sent, she sighed in relief and muttered, "Since they can receive the message, they should be safe for now."
She then paused for a moment before sending her own location to The Origin's headquarters. A few seconds later, a new notification arrived.
Ding!
Yao Ran opened the message and saw that it contained the coordinates for The Origin's new headquarters. Her eyes flickered as she hastily made her way home.
An hour later, when she arrived at the entrance of Tower F, Yao Ran noticed a large group of people gathered there.
Seeing her approach, their faces lit up, and one of them excitedly shouted, "It's Miss Yao!"
Hearing that, Yao Ran turned to the young man who had called out and asked, "Do you know me?"
The young man looked momentarily disappointed before replying, "Miss Yao, I work with Uncle Han in the mutant plants' farmland. We met before and even watched the first sunrise together when the eternal night ended."
