If there are aberrations in the North District, a complete relocation won't be easy. The main base is the safest place; it's the safest place to hide anything important.
"Xie Chiyuan, do you think we'll gain anything?"
"have no idea."
Behind them, Yu An whispered to Xie Chiyuan. The two of them were just there to add flair; unless there was an emergency, they weren't needed.
Time passed little by little.
Bai Xia remained calm and composed, first familiarizing herself with the place. She spoke and acted with great poise, giving off the impression of a successful career woman.
However, Yu An shared a little news with Xie Chiyuan: "Sister Bai has become a mother."
Xie Chiyuan: "?"
Xie Chiyuan was taken aback for a moment: "How did you know?"
Yu An replied, "I saw it. When she was rummaging through things, a photo fell down. The photo showed a very cute baby."
"Sister Bai said that was her baby."
Xie Chiyuan was unaware of this information; in his memory, Bai Xia seemed to be single.
The two were speaking very softly, and the people in front of them were too busy with their work to pay any attention to them.
Night fell.
After Liu Yan left, Bai Xia spoke with his search officers about any suspicious locations they had found that day. With only three search devices, they needed to carefully select where to use them.
Even in places where search engines are not used, you should still conduct a more thorough inspection in person.
Night falls.
In the past, many people would have started to enjoy nightlife.
The city's nightlife is vibrant and diverse, with a variety of advanced entertainment options that make it an irresistible and enjoyable experience.
Yu An lives in the research institute and has never tried this kind of nightlife before.
"Yu An, are you in a hurry to go back?"
After sending Bai Xia back, Xie Chiyuan leaned against the corridor and suddenly asked a question.
Yu An wasn't in a hurry to go back.
Bai Xia didn't find any mutants during the day, but Yu An wanted to take a look at them at night.
He looked up at Xie Chiyuan, perhaps Xie Chiyuan thought the same as him.
"Are you going to take me out?" Yu An asked back.
Xie Chiyuan hummed in agreement.
Yu An walked up to him and said confidently, "Then let's go out."
The two did not go out openly. Xie Chiyuan helped him change into different clothes than during the day before they quietly went out.
There's no doubt that people in the North District will be watching them.
But if Xie Chiyuan doesn't want anyone to keep an eye on him, then no one can keep an eye on him.
After so many days of training on the island, Yu An was no novice.
After the two slipped out, Yu An lowered his voice and asked Xie Chiyuan, "How much longer do we have to walk?"
"Soon."
Xie Chiyuan kept saying "hurry up," but they still walked for a full half hour before stopping.
Where is this?
Yu An looked at the unassuming little grocery store in front of him, his eyes filled with confusion.
"A thrilling place where you can buy anything with money, including clues."
Xie Chiyuan wasn't sure if he could accurately locate the target using Bai Xia's search engine alone.
His target this time also includes a little deformed person who clings to him.
The little deformed creature is weak and timid; it's no use keeping it outside.
It would be better if he brought her back and she obediently went to kindergarten.
Inside the dimly lit grocery store.
Xie Chiyuan took two masks from the shelf. He gave Yu An a deer mask. He originally took a pig mask, but Yu An put the pig mask on his face instead.
“You’re the pig.” Yu An put on his deer mask and said to Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan reached out and tugged at his ahoge (cowlick), not bothering to argue with the little pig.
This grocery store, located in a remote corner, looks small and dilapidated.
Yu An felt that it was too crowded for two people to stand inside.
The grocery store was run by a lazy, middle-aged man. He was fanning himself with a tattered fan, and there was a radio in front of him. He had his eyes closed and was humming along with the opera playing on the radio.
Xie Chiyuan leaned over and interrupted the uncle's groans, then spoke a few words to him in a low voice.
Then.
The middle-aged man lifted his eyelids, pulled out two coupons for him, and then got up and cleaned out everything hanging on the back wall of the general store.
After clearing out his belongings, the uncle reached out and pushed the wall hard.
The wall was pushed open, revealing the door inside.
"Go in."
After saying that, the uncle sat back down in his chair.
Yu An watched this miraculous scene with disbelief.
The door opened.
Xie Chiyuan took Yu An's hand and led him inside.
The moment they entered, Xie Chiyuan suddenly leaned in close and whispered in Yu An's ear.
He whispered a warning: "Yu An, it's very messy inside."
"You must stay with me."
Yu An's mind works quickly; in just a few seconds, he has already thought of many things.
Xie Chiyuan followed Bai Xia into the North District, not only to protect Bai Xia, but also because he probably had connections in the North District.
For example, this amazing lazy uncle!
For example, this magical door!
Behind the door was a one-way path, and Yu An, led by Xie Chiyuan, walked in step by step.
The path was a bit dark, and Yu An gripped Xie Chiyuan's hand tightly.
Xie Chiyuan seemed to sense his unease, so he reassured him by telling him some things to be careful about.
"This is an underground casino, unlike the one we had last time."
"The underground casino doesn't have a name, but it's a nationwide chain, and there are branches in other districts as well."
Judging from Xie Chiyuan's familiar tone, he was a regular customer.
Yu An listened intently, his ears perked up.
As he listened, he heard Xie Chiyuan say, "Not only is the environment chaotic inside, but the people are too. So, if someone tries to chat you up, do you know how to respond?"
Yu An: "..."
Yu An thought for a moment, then replied seriously, "I will not answer!"
He doesn't talk to strangers!
Xie Chiyuan choked.
After a while, Xie Chiyuan looked straight ahead, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and his voice sounded very serious.
He instructed, "If anyone tries to strike up a conversation with you, just say you're one of my people."
Yu An: "?"
Is it okay to answer like this?
Chapter 44
The one-way path ended not long after we started walking.
Because of his nervousness, Yu An unconsciously dug his fingers into his palm. However, since he was holding Xie Chiyuan's hand, he was naturally digging into Xie Chiyuan's palm.
Fortunately, he was clean and didn't have long nails, otherwise Xie Chiyuan's palms would definitely have suffered.
As you walk out of the alley, light gradually appears, and what finally comes into view is a huge and luxurious nationwide chain of underground casinos.
The underground arena was bustling with noise, and everyone was having a lively and joyous celebration.
Yu An rubbed his eyes with his free hand.
He stared blankly and said, "Xie Chiyuan, how come there are so many people here? And they don't seem worried about the zombies outside at all."
Xie Chiyuan explained to him, "Because in this world, there are never a few people who have power, influence, or ability."
Yu An pondered for a moment, wondering what kind of person he was.
He had no power, no influence, and no money.
oh.
He's just a useless little zombie.
Xie Chiyuan told him a lot about the underground scene. It wasn't open every day, but on specific dates. Even the North District boss might not know it existed.
Xie Chiyuan timed his arrival perfectly, bringing Yu An in this time.
He had people planted in the North District, but since it involved aberrations, the other side didn't know much. Especially A10, which had many minor aberrations, and it was impossible to find out anything about them.
