Chapter 352: Chapter 350: Sliced for Research Chapter 352: Chapter 350: Sliced for Research “Moreover, their target could be you or Xiao Ye.” Song Haitao said, steadying himself by the wall as he shakily stood up, looking at Jiang Yan:
“Xiao Jiang, rather than sitting ducks, I suggest we move out of here sooner. If I calculated correctly, the distance from here to the Observatory would be much shorter.

There, we have special communication equipment that can reach Yaoben Base or Musen Base. As long as we can get in touch with one of them, we will be saved.”

Having said this excitedly, Song Haitao suddenly sighed deeply, “Ah, I’m just being senile. It’s icy and snowy outside, we are almost like half-cripples now, how can we walk…”

“How about this, you and Xiao Ye go first. I know both of you are capable, forget about us, if those hostile forces find you—-” Song Haitao was interrupted mid-sentence by Jiang Yan raising her hand:
“Dr. Song, please don’t panic. There’s always a way out of no way. We will definitely find a solution.”

Hearing this, Song Haitao’s face revealed a trace of shame, “Ah, they say that one should be calm before a crisis. I wasn’t always like this. On the other hand, looking at you, Xiao Jiang, you stay calm and composed in crisis, courageous and strategic, truly someone who will achieve great things in the future!”

“Thank you for the compliment, Dr. Song.” Jiang Yan gave a tight-lipped smile, temporarily easing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

She knew that Song Haitao was worried about her and Ye Qing’s ability to withstand the extreme cold and their killing of those formidable Snow Wolves would definitely attract the attention of hostile forces.

Who knows if they might even capture them for dissection and research.

After all, the purpose of turning the entire planet into a Natural Disaster simulation test site by those hostile forces’ leaders, is to achieve autogenic evolution of humans in such harsh environments.

To those people, she and Ye Qing are no different than successful test subjects.

It’s just a matter of time before they are brought out for study.

But now is not the time to discuss this.

For her, she would face whatever comes, ‘when soldiers come, use a general to block; when water comes, use earth to cover; just do it.’
She took off her backpack and took out several waterproof bags containing maps:
“Dr. Song, I have a few maps of East Mountain from before the apocalypse, are they of any use to you?”

“East Mountain maps?!” Song Haitao’s eyes brightened and he straightened his back a bit.

“Yes.” Jiang Yan handed him the maps and took out an emergency light from her backpack.

“This–” This time, Song Haitao opened his mouth in surprise, “Xiao Jiang, is this like a magic bag?”

“Pretty much.” Jiang Yan chuckled and turned on the light, “Dr. Song, let me light it for you.”

“Alright.” Song Haitao crouched down, put the map on a stool, carefully spread it out, and then quickly scanned it with his eyes, making rough measurements with his knuckles.

Although Jiang Yan’s backpack had a ruler and a pen, it was not the time to pull them out.

After a while, Song Haitao’s serious expression relaxed slightly, “Our chances of finding the Observatory or returning to the base are still quite high.”

Jiang Yan was puzzled, “Dr. Song, what do you mean by that?”

“In principle, the ejection trajectory in AS sector is fixed, only that the landing point might be altered due to resistance during the process. However, as long as the Yaoben Base, the Observatory, and our current location are in a straight line,
then, deducing the location of the Observatory or Yaoben Base becomes as easy as turning one’s hand over.

If I’m not mistaken, beside us used to be the downtown of Dongshan city center, with a 68-story building that was a landmark of East Mountain, and it probably wasn’t completely covered by snow.”

“But, if the AS sector encountered significant resistance during the launch process, then–” Song Haitao looked at Jiang Yan with a somewhat troubled expression.

“Dr. Song, are you suggesting someone should go and confirm if this building still exists?”

Jiang Yan looked at the map’s symbols and silently estimated that the shortest straight-line distance between the ejection path and that landmark building is less than 2 kilometers.

2 kilometers before the apocalypse was a matter of pressing the accelerator.

But now, with the ice and snow, one can lose their way just 50 meters out.

Also, due to the heavy snow and poor visibility, telescopes are almost useless.

“If possible, it would be much better for planning our next steps.” Song Haitao nodded, “Yaoben Base was considered for potential natural disasters when built, reaching a 1km range near the building would allow us to detect the signal source.”

“However, the problem now is, I don’t know if there are signal detection devices available in this AS sector. Also, how to safely return here afterwards is also an issue.” Every time Song Haitao’s brow relaxed, it quickly furrowed back.

Listening to his words, Jiang Yan quickly drew a mental image:
A obtuse triangle with the building as the vertex angle and their current location as a flexible point on the longest baseline of the triangle.

If the vertex angle position could be confirmed, then they would know the locations of the Observatory and the base too.

Having thought it through, she said directly, “Doctor, I can go and check.”
