Chapter 1088 Where is the road? (Two chapters in one)
In the quiet bedroom, a petite figure lay on the bed and slept soundly.
"Click."
The door suddenly opened, and then, Xia Qing stood at the door and shouted to Zhou Tongtong, who was still sleeping on the bed.
“Tongtong, wake up.”
Zhou Tongtong didn't respond. Xia Qing took a few steps forward, came to her daughter's bed, stretched out her hand and shook it a few times.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhou Tongtong was shaken awake and looked at Xia Qing in a floral apron in confusion.
"It's getting late. Get up quickly and wash up and prepare for breakfast." Xia Qing said to her daughter, then left the bedroom and returned to the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast.
"Ha~" Zhou Tongtong yawned, rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then lifted the quilt covering her body and got out of bed.
The sound of cooking could be heard in the kitchen, and the range hood sucked away the fumes from the pot and discharged them outdoors.
Xia Qing quickly prepared two dishes, namely fried vegetables and braised hairtail.
When she came to the restaurant with two dishes, Zhou Tongtong, who was washing in the bathroom, just came out.
"Come over for breakfast!"
"Yes."
Zhou Tongtong nodded, came to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Xia Qing served her daughter a bowl of mung bean porridge and handed her the chopsticks.
“Although there are not many fish bones in hairtail, you should be careful not to eat too fast.”
Zhou Tongtong likes to eat fish very much, and she ate several pieces of braised hairtail in a short time.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter had plenty of time and didn't have to rush out.
Zhou Tongtong came to the balcony and planned to water the flowers and plants on the balcony.
At this time, she turned her head and looked next door.
There were very few plants on the balcony of Lin Li's house. Zhou Tongtong was thinking about picking out a few pots of flowers for Lin Li later.
Suddenly, a picture appeared in Zhou Tongtong's mind.
The little white cat and the little black cat ran quickly on the narrow fence, then jumped to a tree next to the fence, and got down from the tree with ease.
The picture in her mind disappeared. Zhou Tongtong lowered her head and looked downstairs. Soon she saw the little white cat and the little black cat.
"They ran out to play again last night."
Zhou Tongtong saw the two little guys running to the grass in the green belt, and then lay down to rest.
In the past few days, when she was sleeping, images of the little white cat and the little black cat going out often appeared in her mind.
"Tongtong, I've packed my things and it's time to go out." Xia Qing walked out of the kitchen carrying a garbage bag and greeted her daughter on the balcony.
"Here it comes." Zhou Tongtong's thoughts were interrupted. She withdrew her gaze, then went back to her bedroom, put on her schoolbag, and followed Xia Qing out.
The little white cat and the little black cat yawned again and again. They ate the dried fish that Lin Li fed last night, rested for a while and then went out to play. They didn't return home until now.
"Meow... Xiao Hei, don't fall asleep. Zhou Tongtong and her mother will be here soon." The little white cat stretched out its little paw and pushed the little friend who was about to fall asleep next to him.
The little black cat said, "Meow... don't worry, I won't fall asleep now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he fell on his side on the grass because he was too sleepy.
"Meow...you!" The little white cat was speechless. At this time, Xia Qing and Zhou Tongtong walked out of the distant corridor.
Before the two little wild cats ran over, Zhou Tongtong ran over to find them first.
"Meow... Zhou Tongtong, good morning." The little white cat and the little black cat said hello in unison.
“You two are so lethargic.” Zhou Tongtong squatted down and touched the two sleepy little guys.
"Meow...it's okay."
"You two ran out to play all night again last night?"
"Meow...yes." The little white cat and the little black cat nodded.
"You two ran out to play at night, and you played all night long. What should you do if you encounter bad people?" Zhou Tongtong said worriedly, worried about the safety of these two little guys.
"Meow... don't worry, the two of us are very powerful now. Even if we can't defeat the bad guys, they won't be able to catch us if we try to escape." The little white cat said confidently.
"Meow... Xiaobai is right, we are powerful now." The little black cat agreed.
While the three little guys were whispering, Xia Qing had already thrown away the garbage and returned to the parking place.
"Tongtong."
"My mother called me, wait until I come back from school to play with you."
"Meow..."
Zhou Tongtong got up and left, but After a while, Xia Qing started the electric car and took her daughter out of the community and headed to school.
The little white cat and the little black cat watched Zhou Tongtong leave, and did not look back until the other person disappeared.
"Ha~"
"Meow... I'm so sleepy, I have to catch up on my sleep quickly." The little black cat turned around and ran under the tree not far away.
When the little white cat saw its little friend leaving, it slowly came to his side and lay down.
When the little black cat was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the friend next to him speak.
"Meow... Xiaohei, several nearby communities have become our territory. For the next period of time, we will suspend expansion and take a good rest."
"Meow...???" After hearing what his friend said, the little black cat instantly opened his eyes, sobered up a lot, and looked at him with a question mark.
"Meow...why are you looking at me like this?" the little white cat asked.
"Meow... you just told me not long ago that we would go and win another community tonight. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?" the little black cat asked in confusion.
"Meow... I don't want Zhou Tongtong to worry about us.
During this period, I often go out at night and feel listless in the morning. Zhou Tongtong is always worried that something will happen to us.
So I want to pause our plans for a while and then continue. "The little white cat explained.
After listening to what his little friend said, the little black cat nodded thoughtfully.
It didn't want Zhou Tongtong to be worried all the time. Since the little black cat My friends have said so, so let’s stop the plan to expand our territory.
“Meow...Okay, since you have no objection, let’s go talk to them tonight. "The little white cat said.
"Meow... I just go and talk to them. There is no need to go together, and there is no need to wait until night. When I wake up, I will go find them and talk to them. . " said the little black cat.
The two little wildcats have already made a decision. All they have to do next is tell their subordinates to stand still.
After talking about things, the two little guys lay down on the grass and fell asleep after a while, making a slight snoring sound.

In a quiet office of the Superpower Management Bureau, Liu Jialin was reading a document.
The office door was pushed open, and Zhang Xiao walked into the office carrying some breakfast.
"Captain, I bought breakfast. You put the documents away first and then read them after you have breakfast."
Zhang Xiao came to Liu Jialin with a smile and handed the breakfast in his hand.
"Thank you!" Liu Jialin thanked her, put down the documents in her hands, and then took the breakfast.
Baos, eggs, soy milk, although the breakfast is very simple, it is very filling.
Liu Jialin quickly settled on five large steamed buns, three eggs, and a large glass of soy milk. After breakfast, she picked up the documents on the table again. Before she could read them for a while, Zhang Xiao, who left the office to go to the bathroom, came back and brought back bad news.
“Captain, something bad happened.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Something happened to Captain Wang.”
“What happened to Wang Jing and the others? ?”
Liu Jialin asked with a serious expression. He knew that Wang Jing led a team to investigate deep in the wilderness. This was not the first time he had done such a task, and nothing had happened before.
"Captain Wang and the others have lost contact." Zhang Xiao said the news he had received.
"How could we lose contact? I remember that when doing this kind of mission, I would carry a communication device with me. Even if there is no signal tower, I can still communicate over long distances." Liu Jialin frowned.
“I went to the bathroom just now and listened to what others said. I asked them if the news was accurate. They told me that the news was absolutely true... Some leaders are now considering whether to send a team of people there. Find them..." Zhang Xiao said.
Liu Jialin and Wang Jing came to the Superpower Management Bureau for internships at the same time. After the internship period, they were assigned to the same department. Over the past few years, they have become good friends.
Now that she heard that Wang Jing had lost contact, Liu Jialin felt very worried.
"Captain, actually you don't need to worry too much. With Captain Wang's strength, even if we lose contact now, ensuring our own safety should not be a problem." Zhang Xiao comforted Liu Jialin when he saw her worry.
"Huh..."
Liu Jialin took a deep breath, then exhaled, her heart rose and fell a few times, and then she said to Zhang Xiao.
“You are right. With Wang Jing’s current strength, ensuring her own safety is not a problem.”
After finishing speaking, she remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Captain, what are you thinking about?" Zhang Xiao asked curiously.
Liu Jialin did not answer immediately. She took a sip of water from the water glass on the table, and then said, "Didn't you just say that a leader was considering sending a team of people to find them."
"Yes, I heard what they said, this matter should be settled, and then..." Zhang Xiao was mid-sentence and reacted instantly.
“Captain, you mean, you plan to join the team looking for them?”
Liu Jialin nodded, her red lips slightly parted, "I have this plan, but it is not up to me to decide on personnel arrangements.
Go and find out for me which leader has made the decision, I will go and talk to him then Apply.”
Zhang Xiao thought for a while, agreed, and then left the office to inquire.
“Alas.”
“Why is Wang Jing so unlucky?”
"I hope she is still safe now..."
Liu Jialin's sigh sounded in the quiet office.
…………
Deep in the wilderness, the sun rises on the horizon, and the golden sunshine quickly dispels the darkness that shrouded the earth.
"Roar..."
"Woo..."
"Quack..."
Various beast roars sounded in various places in the wilderness, and many strange beasts that had been busy all night watched as the sun rose. After that, they began to return home one after another.
And there was a place that was unusually quiet, with no roars of beasts around.
There are several people on the flat grass beside the clear stream.
Wang Jing leaned against the big tree and closed her eyes to relax. After dawn, she opened her eyes.
Others woke up one after another. Because there was a shift guard at night, everyone had a good rest and was not particularly sleepy.
Of course, spending the night in the wild will not be as comfortable as in the city. Everyone misses the big bed at home.
The flames of the bonfire gradually became smaller. It was already dawn at this time, so there was no need to add more wood to the bonfire.
"Let's all wash up and have something to eat before we set off." Wang Jing stood up, said to her teammates, and then walked to the creek not far away.
"Wow, wow..."
The clear stream water splashed on the face, and the cold feeling made people invigorated.
Wang Jing and his party washed themselves with the stream water. After finishing their work, they had a simple breakfast, packed their things and started to set off.
Because the area is very abnormal, and many of the landforms do not match the map, the investigation team has decided to go back first and make further plans.
The thought of being able to go home and take a nice hot bath put everyone in a good mood on the way back.
However, this group of people wanted to go back the same way, but reality did not allow it.
After dawn, I set off back to the city not long after. I was obviously going back along the original route, but the road under my feet changed.
Wang Jing walked at the front of the team to clear the way for everyone. At this moment, she stopped and looked at the road ahead with confusion.
“It’s strange. When I came here, I remembered that this road was uphill, but now it’s downhill.
And there should be many red wild flowers growing around this road. Now Why did it turn pink?”
Not only Wang Jing was confused, but others also had the same doubts.
“Let me see if these flowers are of the same species.” said researcher Zhao Dongsheng.
Then he came to a patch of pink wildflowers on the roadside and observed them up close without reaching out to pick the flowers rashly.
After all, this place is very weird, and you might encounter problems if you reach out and touch the wild flowers.
To be safe, observe with your eyes first before deciding whether to reach out and touch.
"How is it?" Wang Jing waited for a few minutes and asked.
Zhao Dongsheng turned his head to look at everyone, shook his head and said, "These wildflowers are two different species from the wildflowers we have seen before."
When everyone heard this, they felt even more confused.
Looking around, there are pink wild flowers growing everywhere as far as the eye can see.
Everyone is obviously returning the same way they came. Logically speaking, these pink wild flowers should not grow here.
"Did we go the wrong way?" one of the investigators asked.
"Impossible, we are going back the same way we came. If we really go the wrong way, someone will definitely notice it." Another investigator said.
Others nodded, agreeing with this statement.
It’s okay to say that one or two people got it wrong, but it’s impossible for everyone to get it wrong.
“Should we continue along this path now?”
"The wild flowers growing on both sides of the road are not of the same species, which means that this road is not the one we took before.
If we continue to walk along this road, it is very likely that we will get closer and closer to the city. Far away.”
“Then according to what you said, we need to find another way…but where is the second way around now?”
Several investigators started talking. , some people suggested continuing to move forward along the road in front of them, while others put forward different opinions.
Because there is no way to unify the opinions, the final choice depends on Wang Jing’s decision.
"Don't make a decision in a hurry. You stay here while I explore the surroundings to see if there is another way." Wang Jing thought for a few seconds and came up with an idea.
