Hao Jian still learned about Peng Mao's arrest from Lian Runing's mouth. After all, when she reported to Wen Shanggao, the latter did not want to tell her.
Hao Jian is a rational person, but not a ruthless person. Although she often dislikes Peng Mao as a coward, she also regards him as a friend. So after chatting with Lian Runing, she contacted Wen Shanggao to find out if there was any trace of Peng Mao in the official action against "Wugui".
However, it is a pity that the officials destroyed several nests of "Wugui", and none of the priests Li Kes, Ding Gunian, Peng Mao and others were found.
Although they didn't catch them, they did catch a lot of "apostles". These "apostles" were all brainwashed by "no blame", thinking that since everyone has the same strength, let's act together.
It's just that I didn't expect that the official would catch the turtle in the urn, which would cause "Wu Jiu" to suffer a serious loss of vitality this time.
On the other hand, the news of the "supernatural beings" among the survivors has become more and more widespread, and ordinary people have also asked the official for confirmation. Now the official wants to hide it.
So when these voices intensified, the officials could not stand the pressure and announced the existence of the "Apostles". At the same time, they also put up a banner calling on the "Apostles" to take the initiative to show their identities and find the official registration, so that the official can cooperate with them. , to facilitate them.
Although those who have the system can survive on their own, some people are still dependent. They rely on official power, but they are afraid of being arrested for research, so they are always swaying.
Afterwards, there was a fierce quarrel within the official high-level officials over whether to disclose the existence of departments like the "special action group". Seven or eight high-level officials who control the fate of the country were divided into two factions:
One faction advocates openness. Only by showing goodwill can they seize the opportunity and find the "apostles" who will cooperate with them in their investigation of secrets.
The other faction advocates maintaining the status quo, because the establishment of these special departments may cause more trouble. They lose their concealment, and many actions will be hindered in the future, and the safety of members will not be guaranteed.
The official has not yet decided whether to disclose the existence of a department similar to the "special action group", but among the survivors, there has been a wave of search for "apostles".
Wen Shanggao said that this was not initiated by the government, and someone may have planned it secretly. However, the official attitude is to use the power of the masses to find out the "apostles" who have been lurking, so the official has been watching this matter. its changing state.
Both Hao Jian and An Minghui were worried that if the officials let things go like this, some "apostles" would resist, and they would feel the danger and hide deeper. If everyone keeps their eyes on them, they may feel uneasy, and they will have a rebellious mentality, and they will choose to fight against the authorities.
Wen Shanggao also raised such opinions to those few, so after deliberation, the above decided to speed up the study of the "Apostle" plan, and at the same time keep it confidential. In addition, privileges are provided to the "apostles" who are active outside the country. As long as they are based on their ability and contributions, they can be awarded military ranks, official positions, etc. Even if they do not have real power, it is a status and glory that many people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
No matter how turbulent it was outside, Hao Jian and Lian Runing's lives were as peaceful as ever, so calm that even Lian Runing almost forgot that Hao Jian was actually an "apostle" in the midst of the turmoil.
However, she hoped that such a peaceful life could continue like this, she didn't need Hao Jian to gain much honor and status from the government as an "apostle". Because she has always known that the official experiment has never stopped. If one day, all the "apostles" are found by the official, but the official can't find the secret of becoming "apostles", then these few people will be arrested. How to deal with it
Like same-sex relationships, the prevailing idea in many conservative countries is still "homosexuality is a disease and a heresy". Then the existence of "apostles" will also attract people's envy. Most people are afraid of things beyond their control. They cannot become "apostles", and they are envious, jealous, and afraid of all the things brought by "apostles", in order not to make them feel Afraid, they might ask for the elimination of all the "apostles".
Unlike the melancholy hidden under Lian Runing's bright smile, Hao Jian didn't feel much pressure. When she kissed Lian Runing every day to enhance their relationship, she obtained the achievement title of "Love is stronger than gold", and also triggered a side quest and a hidden quest.
The side quest is the third side quest of the main quest 1, and it is also triggered when you progress in the first stage of the laboratory and are ready to start the second stage of research.
Because the science center needs to investigate the land conditions outside the experimental area in order to prepare for the next stage, Lian Ruling was officially promoted from assistant to associate researcher based on her studies in the past few months.
The timing was that after Lian Runing became an associate researcher, he also had the opportunity to be in charge of one of the tasks in the scientific research institute, so when Hao Jian was in contact with her, when he learned about her research direction, he triggered side task 3: Help Lian Runing to investigate the distribution of land variability.
That is to say, Lian Ruling's work has gradually changed from experimentation to academic focus with investigation and monitoring. Although she sometimes has to go out to collect data, it has something in common with her previous major. And this work does not need to be too high-level, just return the survey results, monitoring data, etc. to researchers and academicians for more in-depth research.
Hao Jian doesn't know anything about this knowledge, so she doesn't think her task is to help Lian Runing with her research. She thinks that Lian Runing will face many challenges when investigating the mutation of the land affected by the virus , what she has to do is to make Lian Runing's investigation go smoothly.
After she found a way to carry out the task, she asked Wen Shanggao to ask for leave. There was no way. When Lian Runing had to go out sometimes, she naturally had to accompany her.
Coinciding with this period, there were still many problems within the "special response team" to be resolved, so Hao Jian, An Minghui and others were on vacation as if they were on vacation, they only needed to be responsible for their own work.
The other hidden tasks that Hao Jian triggered were actually related to these experiments, but the relevant character was not Lian Runing, but Professor Lian Qingmiao.
When his experiment reached the second stage, he also encountered a lot of difficulties, making it difficult to progress for a while. Hao Jian triggered this task at such an opportunity: to help Lianmiao investigate and make research progress.
Hao Jian thought she couldn't complete this hidden task, because she couldn't enter Qingmiao's laboratory to help him.
But this quest reminded her of one thing - the main quest and side quests are related, but the hidden quest is not, and there will be no conflict between the hidden quest and the main and side quests.
In other words, Lian Qingmiao has nothing to do with her main quest. Anyone who comes into contact with Lian Qingmiao under the same opportunity may trigger this hidden quest.
She has always been suspicious of a person before. If her guess is correct, maybe she can use this hidden task to see if that person is more interested in the research of practicing young crops.

The autumnal equinox in the twenty-four solar terms has passed, and the cold dew has dropped, but the temperature in the southern province has remained high. Survivors who have survived the hottest summer are extremely irritable when faced with such weather.
At this time in the past, no matter whether the weather was hot or not, basically every household would stew soup that clears heat, detoxifies and nourishes the lungs. But now, meat has become a hot-selling item, because there are too few meat, poultry and livestock that have not been infected with the virus. Basically, it is only privileged to buy some meat and bones to eat back.
In addition, many people have to prepare autumn clothes and pants, and clothing and other materials are in short supply for a while, especially in the north.
The Refuge conducted a series of publicity and pacification on this matter. As a safety consultant, Hao Jian also had to beware of safety problems caused by these things.
However, since the official decided to cooperate with the "apostles", they naturally came in handy for this kind of thing.
Everyone in the "Special Response Team" has a mission to try to persuade the "Apostles" who are under the jurisdiction of the official forces to work together. Some "apostles" choose to cooperate with the official under various coercion and inducements. On the premise of not exposing their core secrets, they told the official that if they want to benefit from them, one is to ensure their safety, and the other is to ensure their safety. Kill zombies for them. Only the more zombies they kill, the more abilities they have. The third is to give money.
The "apostle" Long Chaofeng that Hao Jian had been in contact with found her and wanted to take the initiative to cooperate in exchange for his own safety. Because after the news of the "Apostle" was widely circulated, everyone was looking for the "Apostle", and her abilities were discovered by those around her. They coveted her abilities. In desperation, she could only seek official protection.
Hao Jian heard so many things exposed by the other party. Except for not mentioning the system, Hao Jian basically revealed all the functions of the system at level 3 and below. She kept her face calm, but secretly sighed.
Sure enough, not many people discovered the truth of the system, otherwise they would not be clear.
Hao Jian had previously deduced that the existence of the host was not entirely for them to cooperate with each other, and there was a contest between the host and the host. If the host with all the cards in the hole is against the host with ulterior motives, then there is only a dead end.
Long Chaofeng did not ask the official to provide zombies to earn experience and points for her. Some hosts have mentioned that it was also Ding Gu Nian's original idea, waiting for the experience to level up, but I don't know that for ordinary people, killing a zombie is much less expensive than catching a zombie!
Therefore, as a safety consultant, she instructed the Refugee Management Office to consider the ability and safety of ordinary people, and give priority to money. There is really no way to do it. They can only send people to clean up the nearby factories and find a way to resume production.
"There are rewards for killing zombies, how can it be the same as playing games?" An Minghui expressed such emotion after many requests from "apostles".
"Isn't it?" Hao Jian replied without raising his head.
"I used to think that they had something to do with the Q virus, but I asked a lot of 'apostles', and they all said it was unclear."
"Um."
An Minghui looked at her and hesitated, then he knocked on the table: "Researcher Lian is here."
Hao Jian really raised his head and glanced at the door, but it was not Lian Rumeng who came, but Lian Rumeng. She was slightly disappointed and put her mind back to the computer.
An Minghui thought they were quarreling, so he persuaded them: "Is it because you have been busy recently, and you have been together less often, so you are not in harmony?"
Hao Jian rolled his eyes: "Our relationship is very good and smooth, thank you for your concern. Besides, this is my sister-in-law, not a junior sister."
How did the rigorous and serious Adjutant An become such a gossip? Hao Jian couldn't understand.
How did the ruthless and reserved Hao Jian become this face and say things like 'this is my sister-in-law'? An Minghui didn't understand either.
Lian Rumeng who walked up to Hao Jian sighed: "Sister Hao's eyes are getting sharper and sharper. Before I could speak, I realized that I am not my sister."
"Because she told me that you borrowed her another set of clothes to wear, which is yours." Hao Jian glanced at her, "I gave this dress."
An Minghui carefully observed Lian Rumeng, her eyes were almost blind, but she didn't notice any difference between her and Lian Rumeng.
"Anyway, I'll leave first, and I have to train a group of rookies!" An Minghui rubbed his eyes and chose to leave.
After An Minghui left, Lian Rumeng sighed again: "No wonder I feel a little tight in my chest here, it turns out that the size is wrong. Sister Hao's eyes are scanners, otherwise, how can you know my sister's measurements so well?"
"… "
Hao Jian didn't want to talk to the sister-in-law about the three dimensions of the younger sister, and said, "What's the matter?"
