Chapter 358 Why are you avoiding me?
"I'm asking you."
"What is your name?"
Song Xingmian stared at Chen Yu, asking anxiously, causing everyone around them to glance over.
Especially Zhang Lieyang, who also frowned: "Chen Yu?"
Was that person just now Chen Yu?
Not long ago, he had even sent a private message to this guy...
After all, after the Global Slaughterhouse ended, Baby Bus had jumped directly from tenth place to third.
Such an unscientific record was enough to explain many things.
Zhou Zhenguo, on the other hand, was calm; he didn't even glance in the direction of the iron gate.
"So he is Chen Yu, the second place on The Highway in Binhai City... Hmm, not bad."
Song Xingmian turned her head abruptly: "Officer Zhou, looking at you, you don't know him?"
Zhou Zhenguo frowned: "Should I know him?"
Song Xingmian stared at him for three seconds, then looked into the distance.
A black tactical jacket, slightly broad shoulders, neither panicked nor sluggish...
This feeling gradually overlapped with her past memories, and Song Xingmian's heartbeat skipped a beat.
[Song Xingmian: Chen Yu.]
[Song Xingmian: Why are you avoiding me?]
[Song Xingmian: Don't pretend you can't see me!]
The message was sent, like a pebble sinking into deep water, without any response.
She took a deep breath and pushed those chaotic thoughts back into the depths of her heart.
'Lu Heng, Chen Yu...'
'Let's see how long you can keep avoiding me!'
Song Mingzhao approached curiously, but before he could speak,
Song Xingmian had already taken a step,
Chasing out in the direction of the iron gate.
Zhang Lieyang led a group of soldiers, following her in two steps.
"Sister?"
Song Mingzhao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Sister?! Sister, where are you going?!"
Song Xingmian was only filled with urgency and didn't look back at all.
Song Mingzhao scratched his head: "Who exactly is this Chen Yu? Why is he making my sister so anxious?"
Zhou Zhenguo leaned over and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry about it; that's their business."
Song Mingzhao looked up and nodded.
Zhou Zhenguo continued immediately: "And your business is to continue investigating the Gold-Swallowing Hall. In this Living Area, Yantai actually exists..."
Song Mingzhao's expression tightened: "Yantai, the boss of the Gold-Swallowing Hall?"
On the other side,
Chen Yu led Shen Qingci, Qiao Xi, and Mira around one corner after another.
His speed didn't slow down at all.
He turned his head and swept a glance at the path they had come from: "Qiao Xi, is anyone following?"
Qiao Xi shook her head: "No one, the energy behind us..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her expression changed.
"Someone's coming!"
Chen Yu rubbed his forehead: "Retreat! Full speed!"
Shen Qingci controlled and dragged Mira, following tightly behind: "Chen Yu, why are we running?"
To her,
This made no sense.
On one hand, they weren't from the Gold-Swallowing Hall, and on the other hand, Chen Yu's strength didn't require them to hide like this, right?
Chen Yu explained casually: "The Gold-Swallowing Hall has been doing evil for so long, their assets must be very substantial. The Military District took away Jiang Boyuan, we took away Mira. Now it's a race to see who can pry things out of their mouths faster and get the supplies."
Once these words were out,
Shen Qingci understood immediately: "So that's it."
Mira remained silent.
New Capital City core area square.
Twilight pressed down from all directions, swallowing the last few rays of sunset on the square clean.
Night had fallen.
At least two or three hundred people gathered in the center of the square.
Some were squatting on the ground organizing supplies, some were carrying bags in and out, and several modified tricycles were lining up, preparing to cross the square to the trading area.
There were too many people.
So many that the sounds of footsteps, conversations, wheels, and children crying were all mixed together.
The Living Area with three hundred thousand people was completely a densely populated city.
Shadows weaved between the light strips, and faces emerged from the shadows only to quickly sink into new ones.
Zhang Lieyang returned quickly from the crowd, raising his hand to make a gesture.
The team members scattered around saw the gesture and paused simultaneously.
Song Xingmian tilted her head: "How is it?"
A young man trotted up, swallowing his saliva: "Officer Song, we lost him."
He raised his hand to wipe his forehead, "My S-rank Perception Talent, theoretically, can cover this square for tracking, but there are too many people in this square..."
He pointed to the dense crowd around: "At least over a thousand people, all moving at the same time, the energy fields are interfering and overlapping with each other."
Song Xingmian listened to him finish, looking somewhat helpless: "Alright, thank you for your hard work. Everyone, go back to the team to rest. This is my private matter; I won't take up everyone's time."
Zhang Lieyang shook his head: "Miss Song, saying that is being too polite. Our mission is to cooperate with all your work within the Living Area."
"That's right! Officer Zhang is right!"
"Officer Song's business is our business!"
"What private matter? Just say the word!"
Voices came from all directions!
Song Xingmian was stunned...
Zhang Lieyang laughed: "Miss Song, I know you want to find Lu Heng; actually, I want to as well."
Zhang Lieyang didn't waste any more words; he turned around and looked at everyone.
"Old Liu, you take two people and go to North Street, sweep every alley entrance. Little Zhao, you take three people to the trading area, focus on checking those stalls that were just set up. If he changed his clothes and mixed into the crowd, this kind of place is the easiest place to stay."
He looked at the Perception-type young man: "You come with me on the central axis route, starting from the square and heading all the way south, stopping every fifty meters to perform a regional Perception scan."
"Received!"
The team members dispersed in response!
The sky was completely dark.
Streetlights extended from the street corner deep into the residential area.
The biggest feature of New Capital City was that power supply covered almost the entire Living Area.
Unlike Binhai City, where only the Villa Area had electricity.
This feeling was more like a city before the apocalypse, except... on the street late at night...
Because the rules of New Capital City mentioned—
[Article 6]
Every night from 23:00 to 6:00 the next day is a curfew period. During the curfew, try not to go out; consequences are at your own risk.
[Article 7]
During the curfew, if you must go out for special reasons, please take a detour immediately after seeing abnormal shadows. Do not approach, do not speak, and do not make eye contact.
"It's already past nine o'clock."
Shen Qingci looked at the clock of a store at the street corner.
Qiao Xi looked around cautiously: "But everything is still normal right now. Could it be that when it hits eleven o'clock, it will suddenly...?"
Chen Yu looked at Mira on the side: "How long have you been here?"
Mira remained silent.
Shen Qingci said coldly: "Miss Mira, Jiang Boyuan has already abandoned you and left. Until now, are you still obsessed?"
Mira bit her lower lip: "Brother Jiang didn't... abandon me..."
Shen Qingci: "..."
