Back at the parking spot outside the town, Tong Liya sat in the passenger seat, silent.
"Liya, how are you feeling?" Yan Jien asked with concern.
"I'm fine..." Tong Liya shook her head.
"Why don't you take a nap?" Yan Jien suggested.
"I'm not sleepy..." Tong Liya replied.
"Then just rest for a bit," Yan Jien said. "I'll go buy something."
"Okay." Tong Liya responded and closed her eyes.
Yan Jien got out of the car and walked towards a nearby supermarket.
Entering the supermarket, Yan Jien took out his phone to check his account balance.
"Still over five thousand left," Yan Jien muttered, selecting a few bottles of mineral water and snacks, paid, and returned to the car.
"Liya, have something to eat," Yan Jien said.
"Thank you, Brother Yan Jien," Tong Liya said as she took the snacks and began to eat them slowly.
"Liya, what do you feel when you transform?" Yan Jien asked.
"I feel... stronger, faster, and also..." Tong Liya hesitated.
"And what else?" Yan Jien pressed on.
"And... I really want to drink blood..." Tong Liya said softly.
"That's the instinct of a mutated being," Yan Jien explained.
"Then... Brother Yan Jien, do you ever feel that way too?" Tong Liya asked.
"I don't," Yan Jien shook his head. "I've completely controlled that instinct."
"Oh..." Tong Liya nodded, somewhat understanding.
"Liya, you need to remember that you can't be controlled by that instinct," Yan Jien said seriously.
"I know," Tong Liya nodded. "I just... sometimes can't help it."
"It's okay, take your time," Yan Jien comforted her.
"Mm." Tong Liya responded.
"Where are we going next?" Tong Liya asked.
"I'm taking you to Tian Ding City to relax a bit," Yan Jien replied, "and to handle some matters along the way."
"What matters?" Tong Liya inquired, curious.
"You'll find out soon enough," Yan Jien teased.
"Alright." Tong Liya stopped pressing for more information.
"Just rest for now, and I'll wake you when we arrive," Yan Jien said.
"Mm." Tong Liya responded again and closed her eyes once more.
Yan Jien drove towards Tian Ding City. On the way, he took out Xiao Chen's phone, scrolled through it, and found a WeChat group.
The name of this WeChat group was "God's Hand."
"This is..." Yan Jien's pupils contracted, "that organization?"
Yan Jien was shocked. He hadn't expected that Xiao Chen was part of that organization. The mutated creatures he had encountered before acted alone, while this organization was composed of multiple mutated beings.
"What do they want?" Yan Jien frowned.
After thinking for a moment, he closed the phone and refrained from looking further. Since he had already been exposed, he could only adapt to the situation as it unfolded.
Yan Jien accelerated the car and continued on his way. As for Xiao Chen and the wild man's bodies, he had buried them in the woods without leaving any traces.
In the hotel room, Yan Jien and Tong Liya lay on the same bed. Tong Liya kept pulling the blanket over herself, staring at the ceiling and not daring to look at Yan Jien. Noticing this, Yan Jien deliberately teased her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Tong Liya shook her head: "No."
Yan Jien playfully remarked, "It seems you'd rather sit in a chair than sleep with me."
