Gaia had already modified their memories. So when they woke up on the bus, they didn't feel that anything was wrong because their last memories were of them falling asleep after Jiao Lizhi picked them up.
Noticing their movements, she smiled and said, "You all finally woke up."
"Where are we now?" one of the mutants asked.
"We are still at the border of Lin'an City. Are you hungry?" Jiao Lizhi asked.
The mutant rubbed his stomach and nodded. Since they couldn't eat normal food, Jiao Lizhi took out the food cooked by Jiang Ziyi and some boiled pond water. She didn't give them raw food anymore, so they could blend in more easily with humans in the future.
Soon after, the mutants woke up one after another. Seeing the food and water, they didn't think too much and started to eat. For them, she was their friend and someone who saved their lives. So they trusted her.
