Chapter 168
"Big brother, why do they hate us so much?"
The little tentacles of the eight-headed creature wrapped around Yu An's wrist, tightening intermittently.
As he spoke, he added a supplementary note: "There are people who don't dislike me, and they say I'm not a bad kid, and then they get scolded."
Yu An pinched his little tentacle, lowered his eyes and explained to him, "The internet easily amplifies emotions. They saw bloody videos and were driven by some emotionally charged comments, so what they said in the end was very extreme."
"Kids, that's why I told you not to look at your phones during this time."
Human emotions are cyclical. For a while, everything was peaceful and stable, so they found the mutant babies cute.
But witnessing the mutants kill people firsthand, and then being instigated by malicious individuals, they lose control of their emotions and begin to vent their frustrations, targeting the children.
This is a form of collective trauma; the more they read related news online, the more their emotions are drawn into it.
They will become immersed in it, empathize with it, and put themselves in the victim's shoes.
Ba Zai listened to his older brother's explanation and nodded as if he understood but not quite.
The other kids were also listening intently, but these professional tips weren't actually found out by Yu An; they were told to him by others.
He was Xie Chiyuan's subordinate, an officer in the army.
Yu An had previously gone on a mission with this person, and while they were on the mission, the other person urged him to post it on his WeChat Moments.
This time, the incident that happened online was also caused by this person sending him a WeChat message.
Yu An's words effectively calmed the children. They snuggled up to him, asking, "Big brother, can we play games?"
Yu An smiled and said, "Of course."
Eighth cub cheered and immediately called Seventh and Ninth cubs to start playing games. The little fox didn't play games; he was focused on watching Animal World.
He was watching the episode about red foxes on Animal World, which was airing at the time.
It's really beautiful.
Their fur is so beautiful.
The little fox stared at the fox's fur in the video, wondering when it would be able to become fluffy like itself.
The car sped along.
Their meeting point wasn't in any district, but in a place Yu An had never heard of before. For safety reasons, the secrecy of their chosen location was self-evident.
But as they continued along the route, the little fox recently discovered something amiss.
He glanced out the window and frowned. "Brother, are we going home? Dad told Grandma we can't go home."
Yu An also noticed that the route looked familiar.
The "home" the little fox was referring to was the house in the small town where Gu's father and grandmother lived. The route they were taking was very close to the town.
However, the existence of small towns is not shown on most maps.
Their final destination this time was not the town, but a place very close to it.
The little fox was extremely satisfied with the place he had chosen. Looking out the window, he muttered to himself, "This place is right under the noses of our family."
This address not only pleased the little fox, but also the other cubs.
Even Yu An's expression relaxed.
Night falls.
They hadn't reached their destination yet, but they needed to rest at night, so the group rested temporarily in the car.
Yu An stopped, and Xie Chiyuan naturally stopped as well.
After he stopped, he finally saw Pei Si's message. Pei Si's message contained a lot of nonsense.
After reviewing them one by one, he summarized several key points.
First, Pei Si is with An An's chubby little fish. PS: When the chubby little fish wasn't fat, she had a great figure, abs, and was beautiful.
Second, Fatfish is related to the Aberration Alliance. He formed the Aberration Alliance, but he seems to be doing nothing most of the time and doesn't really take charge.
Third, Fat Fish has several B-sequence aberration variants under his command, whose strength is second only to the A-sequence aberration variants. They recently approached Fat Fish, saying that now is a perfect opportunity.
Fourth, the mutants commit murders, with humans acting as inside agents.
Aside from these key pieces of information, everything else is irrelevant. For example, there's a long, rambling description of the beauty of various chubby little fish, and a request for him to ask Yu An how she managed to find so many adorable little creatures.
Xie Chiyuan read through them one by one and keenly noticed the word "internal accomplice".
Weddings in both the north and south districts are naturally quite large in scale. Wedding safety is of paramount importance, and thorough venue checks before the wedding are essential.
How did the mutant who killed the bride and flower girls infiltrate the wedding? And who was the human inside them in this incident?
Xie Chiyuan frowned as he pondered these questions. After a moment, he forwarded Pei Sifa's message to Yu An.
He and Yu An are now sharing information, and they have already said that they will face whatever comes their way together.
On the other side.
After receiving the news, Yu An also fell into deep thought. He and Xie Chiyuan were both pondering who the most likely human involved in this incident was.
"South District..."
impossible.
He still vividly remembered the sight of the South District boss's hair turning white overnight. Even if it were an act, a father couldn't be so cruel as to let his daughter die in front of him on their wedding day.
"Wen Rong?"
Yu An murmured the name: "His younger brother died. Would an older brother kill his younger brother?"
After asking this question to himself, Yu An suddenly thought of someone: Zhai Man.
Zhai Man was one of the last survivors who fought his brothers to the death. If his brothers hadn't died, he would have been the one to die.
Yu An considered a possibility, and his eyes darkened.
The next second, he sent a message to Xie Chiyuan: "Go check the relationship between Wen Rong and Wen Rui, find out if they are biological brothers."
After Wen Rong took power, neither of his parents showed up. Only his younger brother was taken care of by him.
He posted some videos and photos with his younger brother on social media. People in the North District saw him taking care of his younger brother, which greatly increased their goodwill towards him.
After sending the message, Yu An finally paid attention to her own little chubby fish.
He asked, "Did Pei Si give you the address?"
He wanted to know his baby's address.
Xie Chiyuan: "They gave it to us. It's very close to the East District. It's quite far from where we are right now."
Having confirmed that Little Fatty Fish was alright and hadn't caused too much trouble, Yu An felt a little less worried. He continued sending messages: "Have Pei Si inquire and ask why he hasn't come back."
Yu An lives in the West District, so this little fat fish must know.
Xie Chiyuan had never seen this fat fish before, so he naturally didn't know what the fat fish was thinking.
He replied with a "okay".
The two didn't chat for long before Xie Chiyuan urged Yu An to go to sleep.
Yu An obediently put down her phone and cuddled the children as they fell asleep. The children's phones weren't confiscated again; they played one last game and then closed their eyes to sleep.
We traveled for two consecutive days.
On the third day, Yu An arrived at his destination. The destination was very close to the town, and Liu Zai had secretly flown over to check it out; he wanted to fly to the town.
But perhaps he was flying in the wrong direction, he didn't see the town and couldn't get in.
hovering in mid-air.
The little butterfly fluttered its wings and flew back and forth a few times, still feeling that it hadn't flown the wrong way. It looked down at the empty air, thought for a moment, and half an hour later, it airdropped a few letters.
The letter contained greetings and an update on their current situation.
After doing all this, the little butterfly fluttered away.
He quickly returned to Yu An's side, and Yu An stroked his little wings and asked him a few questions in a low voice.
"It's alright. Once things are settled here, we'll go back together and take Xie Chiyuan with us."
"good."
Upon arriving at their destination, they saw a row of buildings. The white buildings exuded a cold, impersonal atmosphere and looked quite like laboratories.
These mutants, created in the laboratory, are still residing in a place that resembles a laboratory; it's unclear what their motivations are.
Yu An already knew that Little Fatty Fish wasn't inside, but these people were Little Fatty Fish's subordinates.
Eight-Zai, the big boss in the sea, had experience leading his underlings. Before they even met, he taught Yu An the secret to being a leader: "You have to be really arrogant!"
"Don't be too kind to them, or they'll take advantage of you."
"If necessary, we should give them a good beating!"
Yu An actually remembered the experience that Ba Zai had shared.
He saw the aberrations in the Alliance; there were five or six aberrations sitting inside, and some aberrations guarding the door like security guards.
"Yu An, we've finally met."
The speaking aberration maintained a human form, except for its bright green hair, making it clearly not a real human. Normal humans wouldn't dye themselves that color.
Yu An squinted at him, then picked a chair and sat down.
Behind him were aberrations of the A sequence. To him, the A sequence aberrations were his children, but to outsiders, they were not children at all.
A powerful sense of oppression filled the entire space. The giant tiger lay at Yu An's feet, its cold, inorganic vertical pupils staring at the group. The little mushroom sat on Yu An's shoulder, its spreading mycelium drooping to the ground. The snow-white mycelium looked soft, but everyone knew that beneath the soft surface lay a terrifying devouring ability.
A small butterfly landed on the back of Yu An's hand, its beautiful wings trembling slightly. It was beautiful, but also quite aggressive.
Ba Zai wasn't particular about anything; he casually sat down at Yu An's feet, next to the tiger.
Seven was led by Tan Zhan and sat down on a chair nearby. Chiu Chiu, who was also in adult form, sat next to Yu An, his eyes also fixed on these deformed creatures.
Because the little fox was bald, it didn't use its original form. After watching its older brother settle down, it spoke on his behalf: "Are all your people here?"
Originally the inviters, the aberrations faced the terrifying pressure of the high-sequence aberrations, and their backs could barely straighten.
The deformed creature that had just opened its mouth was now drenched in cold sweat on its back.
