The reason why Xiao Huai chose to leave the meeting room was because he understood that when a person is at the top of public opinion, no matter how he explains, it will be of no avail.

Those who hate him will always hate him and will distort all truths.

Su Haoqian pushed him to the center of public opinion, saying that he was the core of the plan. This was already an established fact. In this case, there was no point in arguing any more.

There is no need to prove yourself.

Too many people hate him, too many people think he is the one who will destroy the world.

He looked down at Lu Yuan who was holding his hands tightly. At this moment, he did not pull back, but exerted a little force and held his hand back.

When he raised his eyes and stared at Lu Yuan, the cold light in his eyes quietly faded away, replaced by a hint of softness.

Afterwards, Xiao Huai underwent a mental state test, and because he insisted on traveling with Lu Yuanshi, Lu Yuanshi also took the test with him.

Surprisingly, after these two tests, both of them were found to have top-level mental powers.

This result caused an uproar among everyone present. Many people widened their eyes, looked at each other, and whispered to each other.

Top-level mental strength means unparalleled willpower and ability to withstand pressure, which is undoubtedly an invaluable asset in the upcoming dangerous mission.

Unlike their reactions, Su Haoqian just smiled calmly after hearing it, as if all this was within his expectations.

He continued to concentrate on the work in his hands as before.

However, he has been smoking more frequently in recent days, and the smoke is permeating his office.

Perhaps due to excessive mental exhaustion, his stubble had become noticeable and the dark circles under his eyes had become increasingly darker.

There seemed to be a deep secret hidden in those eyes.

Let him be troubled and worried about it.

The planned departure day finally arrived, and the three task forces had all assembled.

There were several helicopters parked on the tarmac, each equipped with the most advanced equipment and sufficient supplies.

In this apocalypse, being able to gather such a powerful force is incredible.

Xiao Huai stood not far away. The weather had turned colder, and the cold wind blew on his face, causing the corners of his clothes to flutter slightly.

I could hear several soldiers talking in low voices.

The soldiers stood aside, looking at the helicopters, with unconcealable pride in their eyes.

"I heard that Professor Su will also go to the northern ice field with us this time."

"Yes, we share life and death, and hardships with us."

"Without Professor Su, we would never have been able to rebuild Shuguang, and rebuild it so well."

Those words were full of respect and gratitude for Su Haoqian. Although the voice was small, it was firm.

Xiao Huai listened silently, his eyes flickering slightly.

He looked up at the helicopter on the tarmac. In the cold morning wind, the fuselage had an icy metallic luster and was flashing a cold light.

In the distance, Su Haoqian stood beside a car with an unlit cigarette in his hand. The cold wind blew the corners of his clothes, making him look a little bleak.

The cigarette hung quietly between his fingers, his gaze wandering over the assembled troops, calm and deep, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he had seen through everything.

Finally, he put away the cigarette and muttered to himself, "It's coming to an end so soon, and I suddenly feel a little reluctant."

After saying this, even he himself felt a little unbelievable and shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After being a good person for a long time, it becomes difficult to give up some things.

But when he thought about his identity and mission, he finally walked slowly towards the team.

As he arrived, others noticed him and bowed respectfully with smiles on their faces.

"Good morning, Professor Su."

Su Haoqian raised his eyebrows: "Why are you smiling so happily now? It won't be too late to be happy later if fewer people are sacrificed."

At this time, a soldier took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Su Haoqian, "Professor Su, this is the latest model of cigarettes, would you like to try it?"

Su Haoqian looked down at the box of cigarettes.

I don’t know how long I looked at it until the soldier asked the question again.

Su Haoqian waved his hand and said, "I quit smoking."

After hearing this, several soldiers couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Really?"

They all knew that Su Haoqian had been wanting to quit smoking for a long time, but he smoked more than anyone else.

Su Haoqian laughed heartily, hearing the teasing in their tone: "Keep it for now, maybe one day in the future I'll want to smoke it again."

He looked at the helicopter not far away, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

"Get ready to go." The voice was a little low.

As the team gradually assembled, the roar of the engine gradually sounded.

Each team has a total of eight members. Although Su Haoqian will go to the northern ice field, he will not go deep into the area with tumors, but will mainly be responsible for leadership and command at the ice field base.

The roar of the helicopter engine echoed in my ears, and the helicopter had already risen high into the sky.

In the cabin, Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi sat together, while Su Haoqian sat opposite Xiao Huai.

He glanced out the window at the scene that was gradually moving away from the ground. The sky was vast and the earth reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Su Haoqian retracted his gaze, looked at Xiao Huai, and suddenly asked:

"Xiao Huai, do you have any wishes?"

Xiao Huai raised his eyes and looked at him for a moment, but did not answer.

Su Haoqian didn't seem to mind Xiao Huai's silence and continued to ask himself questions and answer them: "I do have a wish. I want to see more of this land before I die."

Xiao Huai suddenly spoke in a calm voice: "From your tone, it seems that you think you will die here?"

Su Haoqian smiled, his tone relaxed: "Haha, if I say yes, would you believe it?"

Xiao Huai did not respond immediately and fell silent again.

Su Haoqian shrugged and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. That's a classic quote."

Some people want to live, some people want to die.

He looked at the clouds outside the window, his eyes somewhat distant.

But death is a luxury for him.

As long as Loki still has the evidence against Su Haoqian, he will never die.

After saying that, Su Haoqian suddenly smiled and waved his hand, "Just pretend I didn't say anything, it was just a joke. I didn't think I would log off so early."

Lu Yuanshi watched all this silently from the side, feeling the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly become a little depressing, but he didn't know what to say. He could only stare at the scenery outside the window and let the cold air spread in the cabin.

The helicopter continued to fly north, and the scenery outside the window gradually became desolate and unfamiliar.

The northern ice sheet became clearer in their vision, and they were gradually approaching the unknown area.

The helicopter slowly landed at the Dawn Base on the northern ice field, and the cold wind from the ice field hit its face like a knife.

The base, which should have been busy, now seemed unusually quiet, completely devoid of its previous vitality.

When they stepped out of the helicopter, the base looked completely different from what they remembered.
