The man looked him up and down and asked, "Are you a soldier?"
Yu An's demeanor now is quite different from when he first woke up from the secret shield.
When he gets serious, he becomes even more unapproachable.
"I am."
Yu An had received training, so he felt there was nothing wrong with calling himself a soldier.
Upon receiving his reply, the man's face darkened: "You're a soldier, so you should know how to protect ordinary people like us."
He thought for a moment and then corrected his wording: "No, we are survivors now, and your primary duty as soldiers is to protect us."
Seeing how easily Yu An moved around, these people knew he must be quite capable.
And they must hold onto such capable people tightly.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of here, nor escape... those who want their lives.
"I am a soldier, and it is indeed my duty to protect the survivors."
Yu An repeated his words, and after repeating them, added, "But I am not a soldier of the Southern District, and I have no obligation to protect the people of the Southern District."
The group: "..."
The expressions on their faces instantly turned grim.
Yu An led Qiu Qiu on her way. After a few steps, Yu An turned and walked in the opposite direction.
They walked ahead, with the same group of people following behind.
"Brother, they've been following us. Should we drive them away?"
These people are speaking disrespectfully. Yu An is not a saint; he's petty.
If they were from the West End, he might be a little more lenient.
However, they are not from the West End, but from the South End.
"Let them follow if they want."
Yu An didn't intend to pay any attention to these burdens; he would just ignore them.
After walking in the opposite direction for a while, Yu An squatted down and saw the footprints on the ground.
It rained here recently.
There were footprints on the muddy road. Yu An examined the footprints carefully and used a small instrument he carried with him to detect blood.
Battles have taken place on this road.
Yu An followed the footprints, carefully collecting all the clues.
Who are you looking for?
The burden that had followed asked from behind, this time in a much softer tone.
Yu Anxi glanced at them and said directly, "We are the Love and Care Team, here specifically to kill zombies. Didn't you say there were monsters? We can help you kill them too."
Yu An spoke casually, and the more composed and calm he was, the more he appeared to be a big shot.
The beautiful woman, who had been protected by two men, finally spoke up.
"My name is Ye Hui, and I'm being possessed by a monster. Can you really help me kill it?"
"Can."
Yu An looked into her eyes and said calmly, "As long as you tell me where the monster is, I can kill it for you."
“I don’t know where he is, but I can feel that he is nearby.”
Ye Hui bit her lip, her delicate face looking pitiful: "I'm so scared, I want to escape from here, can you help me?"
Yu An still hadn't received the exact address, and he simply said "Oh."
Next, Yu An continued searching everywhere, and it seemed he didn't intend to leave until he found something.
It was getting dark, but Yu An and Qiu Qiu still had no intention of leaving.
Ye Hui was a little anxious. She took a few steps forward, reached out, and tried to grab Yu An's arm.
But Chiu Chiu slapped her hand away.
The usually polite Qiuqiu puffed out her cheeks and warned Ye Hui, "Don't touch my big brother!"
The eldest brother can only be touched by him, the kids, and Xie Chiyuan; no other strangers can touch him!
Ye Hui's hand was slapped away, and she almost lost her composure.
She said softly, "I just wanted to say that if we don't leave now, it will be very dangerous here once it gets dark."
Yu An looked at her calmly, still with an indifferent attitude: "I'm not blocking your way, you can walk by yourself."
"I...I want to go with you."
Ye Hui's eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist as she stared at Yu An without blinking, her tone pleading: "Can you take me away from here?"
"Not now."
Yu An's refusal was decisive and swift, without any hesitation.
After being rejected several times, Ye Hui finally gave up.
She and the two men beside her followed Yu An closely, this time without speaking easily.
About two more hours passed.
Yu An received a call from Xie Chiyuan, who was asking for his location.
"I've sent your location to your phone. I've enabled location sharing, so you can just open it and find me."
"Okay, wait for me obediently."
"Um!"
When Yu An was on the phone with Xie Chiyuan, she went completely limp.
Ye Hui, who had been rejected by Yu An earlier, guessed from his expression on the phone, "Are you calling your girlfriend?"
Yu An looked up at her, switching to a cold demeanor in an instant: "No."
Ye Hui breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to say something more.
The next second.
Yu An added, "He's my boyfriend."
Ye Hui: "..."
This is going to be difficult.
Not long after Yu An sent out his location, Xie Chiyuan came looking for him.
He also included a message from the kittens: "Those kittens said they want to look for it again. I think they want it to have some fun."
"They're not sure when they'll be back, so I'm letting you know so you don't worry too much."
"They're all in this area, so I'm not worried."
Yu An smiled and shared her discovery with Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan also found a trace.
While the two of them were talking, Chiu Chiu sat on the rock, making the most of her time to call the tiger cub.
"I walked for a long time."
"I'm not tired at all!"
"Hmm, Big Brother is talking to Xie Chiyuan."
As if no one else was around, Qiuqiu made the call, and Yu An and Xie Chiyuan also talked as if no one else was around.
Yu An lowered his voice and told Xie Chiyuan about the few burdens not far away.
Their eyes met, and their thoughts aligned.
"An'an, you did a great job."
Xie Chiyuan said that Yu An did a good job of attracting them and getting them to come along.
The two men and one woman claimed to live here, but their clothes and delicate skin made them seem completely out of place.
Their identities are questionable.
If you try to get information out of such people or get close to them, they will be very wary.
The less you pay attention to them, the less wary they will become.
Now, they're practically begging to come to them for protection.
After Yu An finished speaking with Xie Chiyuan, he had also given these people enough space to wait.
Xie Chiyuan walked over, his gaze sweeping over their faces, his tone even colder than Yu An's: "You want to leave here?"
"Yes, we want to leave here."
Ye Hui spoke first, her eyes almost glued to Xie Chiyuan's face.
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan both possess a level of perfection that surpasses that of ordinary people.
Ye Hui secretly fumed, thinking, "How come all the good-looking men are taken in by the government?"
The two oddballs beside her were nothing compared to the two in front of her.
"We can only leave after we kill the zombies and monsters here."
Xie Chiyuan and Yu An used the same excuse; when they talked about killing zombies and monsters, it was as simple as chopping a cabbage.
Their composed demeanor also suggests that they truly possess the necessary abilities.
Thinking back on the days she had been chased, Ye Hui realized that she was being chased by that black monster almost in her dreams.
It was just a lowly monster, but after breaking free of its restraints, it became so terrifying!
Thinking of this, Ye Hui's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
She tried her best to steady her breathing and did not tell these people in detail about the existence of the monster for the time being.
