617: Section 617
People could be seen everywhere on the streets, and they seemed completely unafraid of being attacked by Yao Beasts.
Some young men and women had dyed their hair in all sorts of colors.
Some young girls even had rings hanging from their noses and lips.
Others wore heavy makeup and dressed in ways that were hard to look at.
"It truly lives up to its reputation as the most chaotic place in the Old District!"
Wei Nan couldn't help but remark after seeing this.
After he spoke, the others chuckled but said nothing.
The main reason was that ever since they had entered this place, pairs of eyes had been scrutinizing them.
They looked too proper.
Whether it was their attire or their appearance, they didn't look 'tough' at all.
Especially Lin Yi and Wei Shang; one was wearing a tracksuit, and the other was dressed like a businessman.
In Yangtou City, they looked completely out of place.
Take those Gang members, for instance—all of them were shirtless, with large tattoos on display.
Some young men and women dressed even more outrageously, as if they were terrified that people wouldn't know they were street thugs.
Compared to their style of dress, Lin Yi and his group simply couldn't blend in.
However, facing these strange looks, Lin Yi and his group didn't care at all.
After all, who among those who could appear in Yangtou City was someone to be trifled with?
Eventually, they walked into a street.
It was basically all street food stalls, and every single one had quite a few people.
Every place was packed.
The stalls were filled with smoke and the lively, down-to-earth atmosphere of human life.
If the Old District hadn't been plagued by those Yao Beasts, perhaps every city would have scenes like this, right?
Maybe there wouldn't be any lives of great wealth or luxury, just ordinary people.
But the beauty lay in the fact that everyone was content.
After getting off work, sitting downstairs to enjoy the cool air.
If you didn't feel like cooking, you'd go downstairs to find a street food stall, order some skewers and a few bottles of ice-cold beer to drink comfortably, eat a few skewers, and go home in a slightly tipsy state.
However, ever since the Yao Beasts invaded, that kind of life seemed to have vanished.
Especially in the Old District, where the nights were filled with danger and death everywhere.
If one were to wander outside at night, the probability of losing one's life would be over eighty percent.
"Let's go with this one!"
Finally, Lin Yi and his group found a street food stall that still had a few empty tables and walked in.
They had just sat down when a waiter immediately walked over with a menu.
With a face full of smiles, he said, "What would you like to have?"
Lin Yi looked up at him; he was in his twenties.
He was a bit thin and about 1.75 meters tall.
His eyes were filled with smiles.
Lin Yi took the menu and flipped through it.
It had all kinds of skewers...
Chapter 393: The Chief Commander Pays for Tonight's Bill!
After ordering the skewers, Lin Yi ordered a crate of beer.
"Boss, we're still on duty, isn't it not great to drink?"
Wei Shang asked with a frown.
The Martial Suppression Bureau had regulations; drinking during working hours was not allowed.
Lin Yi looked at them with a smile.
"We aren't in the New District now, and there aren't that many rules!"
"Besides, a few drinks to get tipsy is harmless!"
"Ever since we arrived here, we haven't had a proper rest!"
"Have a couple of drinks to relax!"
"Once everything here is resolved, I'll treat you all to a big meal when we get back to the New District!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, Wei Nan also nodded with a smile:
"The Chief Commander has spoken, why are you all thinking so much?"
"Drink when you should drink, eat when you should eat; the Chief Commander is paying for tonight's bill!"
After these words were spoken, Wei Shang and Feng Lei exchanged glances.
They all let go of their mental burdens and nodded.
"Alright, since the Chief Commander has said so, we won't be polite!"
"Tipsy today..."
"Boss, bring the beer over first!"
"Coming right up!"
The waiter standing nearby quickly shouted in response.
Before long, he was seen carrying a crate of beer over to them.
He also brought an extra plate of peanuts and a small dish of side dishes to go with the alcohol.
"You gentlemen take your time drinking; these two side dishes are on the house. The rest will be grilled soon!"
After the waiter finished speaking, he opened several bottles of beer and placed them in front of the group.
Once he was done, he said a few polite words and walked toward the other tables.
Lin Yi poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile:
"Brothers, you are all older than me, and your experience is definitely richer than mine!"
"I have only recently joined the Martial Suppression Bureau, so there must be many shortcomings!"
"In the future, you don't need to stand on ceremony with me. If I really do something wrong, feel free to correct me!"
As soon as these words were out, Wei Shang smiled and shook his head.
"Chief Commander, you are being too modest!"
"Ever since you became the Chief Commander, you have led us in battles, chasing the people of the Blood Handprint everywhere!"
"To be honest, we've fought all the way from the New District to the Old District!"
"And chased them all the way here from the Old District; every one of your orders has been correct!"
After Wei Shang finished speaking, Feng Lei also nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, I am convinced, anyway!"
Captain Shan Kui also smiled:
"Yes, ever since following the Chief Commander, there hasn't been a time this smooth!"
"Chasing those brats and killing them all the way—it's been so satisfying!"
Seeing that they all said so, Lin Yi also nodded with a smile and said:
"Meeting is fate, come on, shall we have a round?"
"Let's have a round!"
"Come on, bottoms up!"
The few of them all laughed out loud.
They raised their glasses one after another and downed the beer in their cups in one gulp.
However, the moment the glasses were put down, Lin Yi cast a few glances around.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
However, he didn't reveal anything.
He continued to pour wine and drink with Wei Nan and the others.
Another ten minutes passed, and the skewers were delivered one after another.
The waiter smiled and said:
"Brothers, take your time drinking. If you need anything, just call me!"
Lin Yi nodded:
"Alright, you go ahead and attend to your business!"
"Coming right up!"
