71: Lu Yu's identity

“Those people who appeared in Zean County had lily skull tattoos on their necks. Why were they chasing you?”

Jiang Fei directly described the tattoo's appearance.

Su Liuyuan was startled, wondering how to lie and cover it up.

Lu Yu spoke, “Actually, Su Liuyuan and I are mercenaries.”

“The mercenary organization we belong to is called the Dark Night Mercenary Group. Anyone who wants to leave the group must endure a month of being hunted.”

“If they survive the chase, they can completely leave Dark Night, and from then on, they will have nothing to do with each other.”

The people responsible for the chase were codenamed 'Rats', which is why he and Su Liuyuan often called those people 'Rats'.

The 'AY' on the machine gun stood for Dark Night.

Su Liuyuan nudged Lu Yu with his arm, “Why did you tell them everything?”

Lu Yu gave Su Liuyuan an 'you don't understand' look.

If he didn't confess everything today, with the neighbor's personality, she would definitely pack him and Su Liuyuan out of the 22nd floor.

Moreover, they were all friends who had experienced life and death together; there was no need to hide anything anymore.

Lu Yu looked at Jiang Fei, “This chase in Zean County has nothing to do with me. Those people are here to kill him.”

“There are many official personnel in Lincheng now, so even if the 'Rats' found Su Liuyuan's location, they wouldn't dare to come.”

People in their line of work are most wary of dealing with official authorities.

One wrong move, and their hideout would be exposed.

Jiang Fei, Xiao Chuxia, and Ling Zhaorui all had complex expressions.

Who would have thought that the gentle and refined-looking Lu Yu would be a mercenary, often referred to as a professional killer?

A beggar making it to the top—you can't judge a book by its cover!

Jiang Fei rummaged through her jacket pocket, actually pulling out an aluminum foil bag from the Supermarket warehouse.

“I found this in those two off-road vehicles. Do you know what it is?”

Lu Yu: “A nutritional pack developed by Dark Night. One pack can supplement all the nutrients a person needs for a day.”

Su Liuyuan complained, “This stuff has a salty, fishy taste of seawater. If it weren't for the fact that one pack lasts a day, I wouldn't have brought a whole box.”

So it was good stuff.

Jiang Fei put away the nutritional pack, her gaze falling on Xiao Jin Yang 2, “As long as it doesn't bring trouble or danger, you can stay in our team.”

“However, in Zean County, Lu Yu and I were almost blown up by that group because of you.”

Aren't you going to do something about it?

Su Liuyuan hesitated, “Then I'll help you modify your weapons for free?”

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

Jiang Fei maintained a reserved expression, “Alright, once your right hand's injury is a bit better, I'll send the weapons over to you.”

“Come, let's eat.”

Su Liuyuan picked up his chopsticks suspiciously.

He felt like something was off, but couldn't quite pinpoint it.

Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui, on the other hand, curiously asked Su Liuyuan about the mercenary group.

Su Liuyuan was also quite talkative, sharing everything he knew. The three chatted animatedly and quickly became close.

After dinner, Su Liuyuan's accommodation became a problem.

There were no empty rooms left in 2203.

2201 and 2202 were both occupied by girls, so it wasn't convenient for him to stay there.

Jiang Fei thought for a moment, “2101 on the 21st floor is empty. If you don't mind that someone died there, you can stay.”

2103 was smashed by the Tiger Suppression Gang last time, and there wasn't even a chair to sit on, so it was no longer habitable.

Su Liuyuan didn't care, “I've even slept in piles of corpses before, so what's it matter if someone died there?”

Lu Yu exposed him, “You were knocked out at the time.”

...“If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute.”

Xiao Chuxia stayed to help Jiang Fei clear the dining table.

Lu Yu and Ling Zhaorui went to the 21st floor to help Su Liuyuan tidy up 2101.

Ling Zhaorui also moved downstairs.

It wasn't that 2203 was bad, but he was a little afraid of Lu Yu.

Being woken up for training every morning before he even fully woke up—who wouldn't be afraid of this devil?

For the sake of the gold, Jiang Fei sent a box of supplies to Su Liuyuan.

It contained daily necessities like toothbrushes, toothpaste, toilet paper, tissues, masks, disinfectant, etc., enough for him alone.

Plus a bucket of water that the community had distributed previously.

Su Liuyuan, in return, gave Jiang Fei a deerskin as a gift.

The deerskin was very clean, odorless, and could be used as a blanket, soft and warm.

Jiang Fei accepted it unceremoniously, and also saw the five boxes Su Liuyuan had brought.

One box of drinking water, one box of nutritional packs, one box of miscellaneous tools, one box of weapons, and one box of brightly colored clothes.

“You didn't prepare anything for heating?”

Su Liuyuan chuckled, “I'll freeload off Lu Yu.”

Lu Yu: “...”

He wasn't very keen on lending them.

Years of brotherhood still led Lu Yu to give Su Liuyuan two heaters, two barrels of diesel, and four cotton quilts, and he also repaired the door of 2101 with an iron plate.

Before leaving, Jiang Fei gave a walkie-talkie to Ling Zhaorui, “You and Su Liuyuan live together, so one walkie-talkie is enough. If anything happens, contact us via walkie-talkie.”

The remaining three were just right for the three families on the 22nd floor, one for each.

It saved everyone from having to run back and forth if they had something to say.

After distributing the walkie-talkies, Jiang Fei returned to 2202 to rest.

As she was half-asleep, the walkie-talkie by her pillow crackled.

It was Ling Zhaorui.

“Sister Jiang, are you awake?”

“Someone came up to the 21st floor, blocking the electric gate outside, saying they want to ask you something, and if you know a girl named Yu.”

Yu Xuanjiao?

Unsure if it was the person she thought, Jiang Fei grabbed the walkie-talkie and replied, “Give me a few minutes, I'll come downstairs.”

After putting on her cotton coat, Jiang Fei casually pulled open the sunshade.

It was already bright, and a layer of frost had formed on the window glass outside.

Had the temperature dropped again?

Jiang Fei walked out of the room, but the thermometer in the hallway hadn't changed.

Ling Zhaorui had only tuned into her channel, so Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia didn't know what was happening downstairs and hadn't come out.

Jiang Fei didn't call them either and walked downstairs.

At the staircase on the 21st floor, Ling Zhaorui held a gun and opened the electric gate.

With the gun, the people outside didn't dare to enter and gathered on the stairs.

At the very front were Yu Xuanjiao and Huang Xiaoyuan, each with a man standing to their left and right.

It was Zhu Zi and the man with the trash can on his head.

Behind them were several other residents from Building A.

Yu Xuanjiao and Huang Xiaoyuan looked nervous, wanting to go back, but were stopped by the people beside them, who wouldn't let them leave.

Seeing Jiang Fei appear, Zhu Zi greeted her warmly, “Sister Jiang, long time no see.”

He had a cold before and was worried about infecting others, so he had been hiding at home and hadn't come out.

“Why are you here so early in the morning?” Jiang Fei showed the knife in her hand.

Zhu Zi quickly explained, “We're not here to cause trouble.”

“These two people came to Yulan Garden the day before yesterday, staying on the 12th floor, and borrowed a lot of supplies from us, saying they were your friends and that you could vouch for them.”

“I saw you all come back last night, and today I wanted to come and clarify what your relationship with them is, Sister Jiang.”

Jiang Fei could be said to be infamous in Building A.

Yu Xuanjiao and Huang Xiaoyuan used her name to borrow supplies, so who would dare to refuse?

Listening to Zhu Zi's words, Yu Xuanjiao kept wringing her hands.

She had inquired about Jiang Fei's address from Yin Jing, planning to come to Yulan Garden and find a suitable opportunity to get close to her.

Jiang Fei was from the Rescue Team, so she definitely wouldn't lack food or clothing.

But Han Yang and the others didn't come, going to the place arranged by the officials instead.

She could only bring Huang Xiaoyuan over, never expecting that Jiang Fei was doing so well here, and everyone was afraid of her.

Without supplies, she used Jiang Fei's name to borrow, and even bullied many people by flaunting her connection.

Fearing her lie would be exposed, Yu Xuanjiao pretended to be familiar with Jiang Fei and said, “Senior, you just returned from Zean County after finding medicine, so you must be very tired. We won't disturb your rest.”

Jiang Fei: “Are we close?”
