Chapter 138 Squirrel
"Have you chosen a place?" Su Yuqing asked.

"Oh..." Feng Ling came back to his senses and returned the phone to him, "I've picked it."

Su Yuqing glanced at it, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly, "You are really good at choosing places... I asked you to choose the city center, but you chose the center of the center."

The place Feng Ling chose was a famous unfinished building called Qingjiang Financial Center Building.

The unfinished construction of this building had nothing to do with the alien invasion of the Earth, it was purely due to a broken funding chain.

Initially, the investors invested tens of billions of dollars with the grand goal of building the tallest building in the country, claiming that this project would make Qingjiang City one of the new first-tier cities. However, during the construction, they ran out of money and ran away.

The quality and location of the building itself are impeccable. The government has tried various ways to revitalize it, but the project is too large, and it is difficult to find someone to take over once the funds are cut off. In addition, due to the negative impact brought by the alien species, the economy of Qingjiang City continued to be sluggish, so this building can be said to be extremely unfinished and it is difficult to revive it.

Feng Ling tilted his head and asked Su Yuqing: "Is it okay for me to live here?"

Although it was an unfinished project, there were tens of billions of investments involved behind it, so she was really unsure.

"It's located in the city center. It doesn't cover a large area, but the vertical area is very impressive. It has 120 floors and is 605.7 meters high... It's a frame structure with no decorations inside, which is very suitable for your polluted body to move around in." Su Yuqing looked at the information and couldn't help but smile. He looked up at Feng Ling and said, "No problem. I should be able to help you apply for the right to use it for a few years. This place is very suitable."

Feng Ling also laughed.

Hehehe...

Su Yuqing changed the subject and looked at Feng Ling with a half-smile: "If I apply for you, you won't just leave this place vacant, right?"

Feng Ling: “…………”

Okay, okay, I understand. What you mean is that I should stay in Qingjiang City and not run around?
Feng Ling nodded and made an OK gesture to Su Yuqing.

Su Yuqing put away his phone. "That's no problem. I'll arrange for a construction team to renovate the sales office of the Financial Center Building and improve the water and electricity pipelines. The money will be deducted from your bonus. Is that okay?"

Feng Ling: "...Okay."

He really knows how to manipulate people's hearts. As long as she spends money, how can she be willing to leave this place and move somewhere else?

"It's getting late, I won't disturb you." Su Yuqing stood up and said, "The modification project will probably take about ten days. I will contact you if there is any progress. During this time, you can spend a few more days in Yuquan City and relax."

Feng Ling sent him to the door and couldn't help asking, "Captain Su, why is your hair white?"

Su Yuqing stopped walking, a trace of embarrassment on her face, "There have been a lot of things going on recently... Maybe I was too busy and didn't get enough rest."

"Is it related to the maze in Daling Forest?" Feng Ling asked him curiously.

"Is it so obvious..." Su Yuqing said with an embarrassed expression, "Ye Zheng entered the maze at about the same time as you. There is no maze manager in Daling Forest. The entrance and exit of the maze are all detected by the scientific research team's instruments. It is very dangerous. I am really worried."

Feng Ling had never seen Ye Zheng, but had heard this name from other people more than once. It was said that she was very powerful. In the entire team of inspectors, she was the elite among the elites.

The Supervisory Bureau shouldn’t give up on such a strong person easily, right?
Feng Ling asked: "When does the Supervisory Bureau plan to send out rescuers?"

"Rescue..." Su Yuqing said hesitantly, "In fact, Ye Zheng sent a message saying that the Lord of the Maze has been killed by her, and she will leave the maze after the sampling work is completed. So we think that the team should only be trapped temporarily, and now is not the time to send a rescue."

"Ye Zheng can send messages in the maze?" Feng Ling was surprised. "We couldn't find any signal when we were in Sanqing Mountain."

"Because the maze of Sanqing Mountain is a complete copy, you can imagine the maze of Sanqing Mountain as a glass bottle, and the mouth of the bottle is the entrance, but Daling Forest is a broken glass bottle. If we want to enter the bottle, many places can be the entrance." Su Yuqing explained patiently, "Because the bottle is broken, the contents will flow into the outside world and cause pollution, and the broken part intersects with reality, so we can occasionally receive signals."

He paused for a moment and then continued, "I have confidence in Ye Zheng. Since the Lord of the Maze has been killed by her, the entire maze should not be in too much danger. Maybe she will lead the team out tomorrow."

Feng Ling said, "Maybe he's just lost. The maze is too big. I went up and down the mountain several times when I was in Sanqing Mountain, and I was exhausted." The biggest threat in the maze is the master of the maze. Since even the master of the maze is dead, there should be no problem.

Unless there are external factors interfering.

She thought for a moment, then asked Su Yuqing, "Did Ye Zheng say anything else in the message he sent?"

Su Yuqing fell silent again.

After a while, he slowly spoke: "Before she lost contact, she sent me a private message, but I'm not sure... whether this message is related to her loss of contact."

He hadn't planned to tell anyone else.

After Ye Zheng entered the maze, all messages were sent in the special operations discussion group, and only this message was sent to him alone.

Why is she doing this?
Either, this message has nothing to do with Operation Maze;
Or maybe Ye Zheng had doubts about the action team...she didn't trust someone in the group.

But Su Yuqing felt that Feng Ling was trustworthy.

He didn't say anything. He took out his phone in silence, pulled out the message, and showed it to Feng Ling.

There are only two words in the chat box:
squirrel.

Feng Ling was slightly stunned. What does squirrel mean?
"Have a good rest." Su Yuqing said with a smile, "I believe Ye Zheng will complete the task successfully."

Feng Ling: “…………”

You are obviously very worried, okay? Your hair is almost turning white like an old man!
Feng Ling couldn't calm down as he watched Su Yuqing leave.

She felt very uncomfortable.

What does squirrel mean?
Does it refer to the squirrels in the big forest, or the squirrel cards? Or something else???
No, too curious.

It’s so unbearable!

Feng Ling went next door to look for Li Qing, but he didn't know if he had run away yet.

She walked to the next door in slippers. The door lock was very fragile, and she forced the door open without much effort.

The windows in the room were wide open, and the raindrops outside drifted into the room, splashing the carpet beside the window.

A bed sheet was torn into several strips and tied crosswise into a thick rope, one end of which was tied to the foot of the bed and the other end was hung outside the window.

Feng Ling stuck his head out and looked outside. Li Qing was climbing down laboriously in the pouring rain.

Is this a primitive way of escape?

Feng Ling took an umbrella from the cabinet, then stretched out his two claws, bit the window sill, turned over and jumped out, coming to Li Qing.

She kindly held an umbrella for him and asked, "Master, do you know what squirrel means?"

Li Qing was devastated.

Can you respect me?!
I'm running away!!!
After each update, I would read the comments from readers very nervously, fearing that I would write a big and irreparable loophole! (There shouldn’t be any at the moment, right? Have I filled all the holes that should be filled? Then… should I continue to dig new holes? I really dug them!)
