"No, we just arrived too."
Jin Chuyu shifted a bit to make Chu Jiangyue’s seat more spacious.
"Now, let me explain the target of this rescue mission, the places we need to pass as we head south, and the final destination."
Chu Jiangyue opened her virtual screen and shared the real-time map of Jianglin Hotel with them.
"Take a look at this first."
Shen Zhigui, Jin Chuyu, and the others were a bit puzzled, not knowing what Chu Jiangyue wanted to show them.
However, they quickly understood why Chu Jiangyue wanted them to see this.
"Wow! It’s so detailed, it even shows traces of movement in real-time!"
Besides people indoors, those walking outside were mostly reflected in real-time.
"These aren’t the main points, look here."
Chu Jiangyue pointed out a section of forest.
It was then that Shen Zhigui and the others remembered the information the Mutated Tiger had given to Chu Jiangyue, mentioning its kind being trapped in a forest basement.
"Are you suspecting that the Mutated Tiger’s kind is in this forest?"
Shen Zhigui immediately understood the message Chu Jiangyue wanted to convey.
"There’s a strong likelihood. From what I’ve seen, it’s the only forest here, and... this forest likely consists entirely of mutated plants."
Ordinary plants have withered under the extreme heat, leaving only the mutated ones to survive.
For such a large forest, if it consisted of ordinary plants, it would hardly have survived the extreme cold and heat.
Chu Jiangyue’s words served as a reminder for Shen Zhigui and the others.
"If it’s truly as you say, encountering the Mutated Tiger won’t be easy."
Both mutated plants and mutated animals have strong territorial instincts; if they enter rashly, they’ll most likely be attacked.
If that happens, those trapping the Mutated Tiger will surely notice the disturbance, which could ruin the attempt.
"Before entering the forest, I’ll send two vines to communicate, but this method’s effectiveness can only be known once we’re there."
None of them had been to that forest, so they couldn’t gauge the temperament of the mutated plants.
If the plants are extremely exclusive, it would be quite troublesome.
"It’s a viable approach; it’ll depend on Boss Chu at that time."
Jin Chuyu contemplated, finding Chu Jiangyue’s plan feasible.
The three parties quickly formulated a plan, then went back to pack, preparing to set off immediately.
Chu Jiangyue didn’t have much to prepare; her System Mall was her greatest asset.
Yet, she opted to pack a variety of snacks made by Granny Hua in her system backpack.
Two hours later, eleven people and the Mutated Tiger family gathered at the entrance of Jianglin Hotel.
Chu Jiangyue drove her silver-white SUV, but since her vehicle could only seat seven, they needed to split into two cars.
The young Mutated Tiger rode in Chu Jiangyue’s car, while the two adult Mutated Tigers lay on top of each vehicle.
"We’ll go with you. Since you dislike driving, as before, we’ll hitch a ride and take turns driving for you."
Shen Zhigui spoke up to Chu Jiangyue before Jin Chuyu could.
Chu Jiangyue was indifferent: "Sure, having someone to drive is nice."
She then got out of the driver’s seat and moved to the seat behind the driver.
This position made it easy to get in and out and was the safest spot in the car—perfect.
