"I won't bother you anymore, please help me quickly." Yi Heye knew him very well. "I'll answer your calls for the next month!"
Upon hearing these conditions, Song Zhouzhou's mood immediately brightened.
After finishing the call, Yi Heye's car had already left the government district. The motorcycle weaved through the rows of buildings like a gust of wind passing between the teeth of a comb.
Everyone in the car was thoroughly enjoying the exhilarating ride until they reached a checkpoint and had to slow down. Only then did Xiaoming excitedly ask, "Wild Treasure? Where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the District C Hospital first," Yi Heye said. "The doctor said that Xiao Daji has already woken up."
Because there were no decent medical facilities in District D, Xiao Daji was sent directly to the District C Hospital for treatment.
During this time, Yi Heye had been concerned about her recovery, not out of pity or concern, but because he was waiting for her to regain consciousness and had many questions he wanted to ask her.
Yi Heye quickly found the ward where Xiao Daji was staying. It was the smallest room in the entire inpatient department. It was said that she had just been transferred out of the ICU this morning. She was still conscious and could communicate.
Upon entering, he found that Xiao Daji was covered in tubes and bandages. If it weren't for her two round eyes looking at him, Yi Heye might have thought she was already dead.
Little Daji was somewhat surprised to see him walking towards her: "You've come to see me?"
Yi Heye said frankly, "I have a few questions for you."
Xiao Daji's eyes, which had just lit up, dimmed again. Even if Yi Heye was stupid, he knew he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly corrected himself, "I also came to see you."
Despite coming to visit a patient, Yi Heye didn't prepare any fruit or flowers as a gesture of goodwill—this guy has always been terrible at interpersonal relationships. Fortunately, Xiao Daji isn't used to being noticed either, and seeing him empty-handed made her feel relieved and less burdened.
Little Daji twisted her body, which was immobilized and restrained, and then looked up: "Ask away."
Yi Heye cut to the chase: "Have you been to Area E? Can you tell me about it?"
Little Daji blinked: "I've never been there, but I'm often threatened with things like that, so I know a bit about it—you should know from watching the news that it's just a garbage dump, except it recycles us humans."
Yi Heye wasn't surprised by her answer, and asked again, "Do you know how to get there? What do I need to prepare?"
Little Daji's eyes widened, and it took her a while to realize what he meant: "What are you doing? Are you crazy?! Everyone else is running away as fast as they can! And you're trying to rush in?!"
Yi Heye made a "stop" gesture and tried to brush it off: "It's for work, there's no other way."
After hesitating for a long time, seeing his sincere expression, Xiao Daji softened her heart:
"...You can treat Area E like Area A; both are extremely difficult to enter," Little Daji said. "From what I understand, you can buy a fake identity on the black market in Area D, then blend into the new batch of exiles and try to get on the transport truck..."
Yi Heye nodded while frantically taking notes—he had never been this attentive even when listening to Director Li in a meeting.
According to Xiao Daji's description, there are many people in their D district who spend a lot of money to hire some mimicry robots to pretend to be them and suffer in the E district in their place. Yi Heye can take this opportunity to help people take their place.
"If you're going for a short time and plan to come back, remember to bring disinfectant and protective clothing, and be alert to any possibility of infectious diseases," Xiao Daji said. "Then prepare plenty of supplies—it's best to bring your own water and food, because I heard that liver disease is quite prevalent there, and it's hard to avoid getting infected when sharing meals..."
Yi Heye quickly made preparations, ordering necessities online while also planning to find a "lucky person" on the black market to take his place and wander around Zone E.
Based on the slang that Xiao Daji introduced to him, Yi Heye quickly found a suitable candidate on the forum. To avoid being scammed, they arranged to meet offline to discuss the details.
—Yi Heye, who is simple-minded but ruthless, is least afraid of meeting in person. Others may cheat him out of his money online, but they can't kill him in front of him.
The other side was obviously very anxious, urging Yi Heye to come and meet him immediately. Coincidentally, Yi Heye's patience was also running out. He packed his bags, paid for a few more days of Xiao Daji's hospitalization, and rushed off to meet her.
Everything happened so smoothly that Yi Heye's excitement overwhelmed all his intuition.
He rushed excitedly to the dirty street in District D, the street corner he knew best where countless illicit transactions took place every day.
Coincidentally, the place this guy arranged to meet was the alley where he had once ambushed Jian Yunxian. Yi Heye only realized how far too coincidental it was when he was already standing in the alley.
But by the time his premonition finally surfaced, it was too late.
"What did you promise? Did you break your promise?"
A familiar voice rang out from behind, startling Yi Heye. He turned around and saw Jian Yunxian standing at the alley entrance, holding Xiaoyunduo's hand, looking at him with a cold expression.
Damn it. Yi Heye glanced at the text message he had just sent to arrange a meeting with someone and realized he had been tricked by this guy.
He turned around, guiltily pressed himself against the wall, but still stubbornly insisted, "I didn't agree to that!"
Jian Yunxian led the lamb step by step toward him, his dark shadow against the light resembling that of a bloodthirsty demon leading a hellhound.
—This guy is really angry. Yi Heye held his breath and dared not make any rash moves.
As Jian Yunxian drew closer and closer to him, Yi Heye's body tensed up, and all his defense mechanisms began to scream.
If that guy dares to lay a hand on him, he won't be polite.
Just as Yi Heye moved his hand behind his back to reach for his gun, he saw Jian Yunxian raise his hand.
The man seemed to have a handkerchief hidden in his palm, which he used to cover Yi Heye's mouth and nose.
Just as Yi Heye was about to struggle, the next second he began to plummet downwards.
He completely lost consciousness.

Take him back and tie him up!

Chapter 138 (Number 138)
When Yi Heye opened his eyes, it was pitch black all around him. He even thought that he hadn't woken up at all, and that the whole world was no different from when he had closed his eyes.
He felt a slight headache, but it wasn't unbearable. Instead, the throbbing pain told him that he had indeed woken up from his coma.
He vaguely tried to change his position, only to find that his hands were handcuffed with a pair of cold handcuffs and he couldn't move at all.
Not only were his hands immobilized, but his entire body was tightly bound.
Yi Heye's confused mind finally snapped out of its daze. In a moment of bewildered panic, he finally managed to vaguely recall what had happened.
He fainted, and the last person he saw before losing consciousness was Jian Yunxian.
—That bastard drugged him.
They drugged me and tied me up. It was pitch black, and I had no idea where I was.
Yi Heye gasped, enduring the throbbing pain in his head as he tried to break free.
This guy had tied himself up like a dumpling, so he couldn't exert any strength at all. Yi Heye struggled for a long time, only managing to make the chair beneath him creak.
In the quiet room, a sudden, abrupt noise startled Yi Heye, who was afraid of disturbing someone.
As expected, the moment he made the noise, he heard a "click," followed by a beam of light—a door had been opened from the outside.
Yi Heye held his breath and looked up, then saw two silhouettes, one of a person and one of a sheep, backlit in the doorway.
The light from the doorway shone in from behind them, casting long, slanted shadows that stretched all the way to Yi Heye's feet.
But this was clearly not a move to save him from his predicament by taking advantage of the situation. Looking at the arrogant posture of these two guys, Yi Heye automatically imagined the background music of a villain's entrance in his mind.
At this moment, all of Yi Heye's romantic fantasies and ambiguous perceptions of this person shattered—they looked like two damned ghosts.
As soon as Jian Yunxian entered the room, the motion-sensor lights turned on. The light was dim and eerie, like something out of a horror movie, but it was enough for Yi Heye to see the person opposite him and the furnishings in the room.
Yi Heye first looked up at Jian Yunxian.
Today, this guy was wearing thin-rimmed chain glasses, paired with an expensive striped black suit, giving him a very refined and scholarly look.
But his usually smooth black hair was now combed back, revealing his beautiful forehead, and paired with his cold expression, he looked very aggressive.
If he could barely be considered the university professor he claimed to be on a normal day, this time he looked like a ruthless young leader of some gang.
In short, it doesn't look like they're up to anything good.
Although he looked extremely dangerous, this guy also displayed a new style of attractiveness that Yi Heye had never experienced before.
Yi Heye couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, which was inappropriate—perhaps it was because of the lighting, but his face looked a little pale today, while his lips were a deep red against the monotonous colors of the room.
Yi Heye stared at his lips, as if some beast within him had been awakened, and he actually had the urge to bite them until they bled.
Seeing that his absurd lapse in concentration lasted less than half a minute, Yi Heye's attention was forced to shift away.
As clear footsteps sounded, Jian Yunxian walked up to him, looked down at him, and asked with a cold smile:
"Mr. Yi, you're awake?"
Yi Heye caught a whiff of the unique sandalwood scent emanating from him, and then looked up at him—the man's emerald green eyes were filled with a sense of oppression, causing Yi Heye's gaze to tremble for a moment, and he involuntarily looked away.
It was a dark little room with no windows and very poor lighting. The room was simply furnished with only a bed that could barely fit two people, a table, and two chairs.
It was just a simple room that had been cleared out, but the simpler the atmosphere, the more uneasy Yi Heye felt.
Yi Heye's eyes were scanning around when he suddenly felt his vision darken—Jian Yunxian stood directly in front of him, leaned down, and lifted his chin.
What are you looking at?
The deep, magnetic voice seemed to leap over his eardrums and resonate directly in his brain, forcing Yi Heye to raise his head and stare directly at the two clusters of cold fire.
After a brief moment of panic and a long reaction time, he calmed down.
—Or rather, he's starting to get angry.
He finally felt offended. Recalling what that guy had done to him, he was filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour the other person alive with his eyes.
He glanced at the hand that was lightly lifting his chin, gritted his teeth, and the next second, he snapped his jaws open like lightning and bit down—
But it missed.
Perhaps because she knew his personality too well, Jian Yunxian understood what he was going to do the moment she saw his gaze shift downwards. She calmly withdrew her hand, leaving him to bite his mouth full of air.
He finished with a slightly mocking chuckle.
Yi Heye was completely enraged, but his missed attack had completely shattered his composure. After a long while, he finally couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "What the hell are you doing?! Are you out of your mind?!"
His breach of defense was exactly what Jian Yunxian had expected. Jian Yunxian smiled, calmly sat down in the chair opposite Yi Heye, and lazily propped his head up to look at him:
"Because the little leopard is disobedient and always runs around, we have to tie it up and take it home to discipline it properly."
Yi Heye was both angry and annoyed, but he really had no choice but to say angrily, "Let go!"
Jian Yunxian naturally wouldn't listen to him, and just slowly played with the ring on his index finger: "So I'll let you go, and then watch you turn around and run off to play Hero Adventure in Zone E?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Heye's mind cleared up a bit, and he immediately suppressed his anger, asking, "What exactly is in Area E?"
“Prisoners, patients, eccentrics. Sin, disease, ugliness,” Jian Yunxian answered without hesitation. “This is the answer everyone knows; no one has ever hidden it from us.”
Just as Jian Yunxian said, target-shaped structure diagrams are the first pieces of knowledge introduced in textbooks during basic education.
