We've been discovered?

Su Luo frowned, thinking to himself that even if he was rusty in this life, he shouldn't have regressed to this extent, unable to even hide it anymore!

Just as Su Luo was pondering whether to go out like this or to strike first and beat her up regardless of who she was, a footstep accompanied by an annoying voice rang out clearly.

"I'm sorry, it was my men who failed to hide properly and disturbed the beauty's enjoyment."

What you should say is what you're most likely to encounter.

Su Luo just wanted to find Zhao Cai as soon as possible, get the oil, and leave. She didn't want to stay with that madman for even a minute longer.

"Hmph, not well hidden?" The haughty and aloof female voice seemed unconvinced, her words laced with barely suppressed anger. "Stabbing someone in the back, and you say it wasn't well hidden? President Xia, your ability to make excuses is as terrible as you are!"

Hearing this, Su Luo wholeheartedly agreed. If the situation hadn't been so awkward, she might have even gone out to give this woman a thumbs up.

To be honest, it was someone from the Greedy Wolf Guild who fired the shot. Considering Xia Ming's mind, he really is the kind of person who would do something like this!

"Miss Yan, you are mistaken. This gas station is open to all who see it, and it's located within Mengshan territory. Why would you choose to come to my Mengshan territory and steal energy instead of staying in Xicheng? Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"I've heard that Xicheng suffered less damage and has abundant supplies, while Mengshan has been plagued by disasters. Miss Yan, isn't it a bit unethical of you to come and rob us?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yan Ruyu snapped, interrupting Xia Ming who was about to say more. She looked like she wanted to fight Xia Ming right away. "Don't you know what you've done?"

"You still have the nerve to mention Xicheng now? You've ruined Xicheng so badly! Where's your shame?!"

This is like rubbing salt into someone's wound.

Su Luo, who was originally looking for ghosts, never expected to be able to watch the drama unfold on the spot. She knew about Xicheng. It was a city that was located east of the provincial capital and downstream. Because it was located on a plain, it was a place where major granaries were usually located and vegetable bases were plentiful.

Judging from Xia Ming's tone, Xicheng had hardly suffered any attacks from strange creatures and had plenty of supplies, making it extremely lucky and having a uniquely advantageous start.

But right now... it's probably going to be a disaster.

Xia Ming made things very difficult for him.

"Listen up, everyone! The culprit who's wreaking havoc in West City is right here. Grab your weapons and get him!"

At Yan Ruyu's command, tensions rose between the two sides, and the atmosphere became so tense that everyone held their breath. Just as the other side's gunman was about to pull the trigger, Xia Ming suddenly turned his head toward where Su Luo was hiding and said, "I told you I heard the voice of fate; it sounded very familiar."

"So it's my little darling sister who came to see me!"

Su Luo: Bah! Who are you? I'd rather gouge my own eyes out than look at you!

Is anyone else there?

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu nervously followed Xia Ming's gaze to Su Luo's hiding place, thinking to herself that this person was incredibly clever, managing to hide right under her nose without her knowledge!

Seeing this, Su Luo walked out calmly, not even glancing at Xia Ming, but she did take a few more glances at the lady.

With a high ponytail, a black tight-fitting combat suit, a gun, and military boots, she looked every bit the mercenary.

"Are you a member of the Greedy Wolf Guild?"

Su Luo shrugged, feigning innocence, and said, "I'm not, I don't know them, I was just passing by."

"My pet is lost, I'm here to find it."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing Su Luo's answer.

Did I hear that right? Out looking for a pet? What era are we living in? Do people still talk about pets? Especially in Mengshan City, a place known for its strange occurrences. Is this woman an idiot?

Su Luo looked around in confusion, wondering why everyone seemed so withdrawn when she had finally spoken the truth. She hadn't said anything too forward-thinking.

"My dear sister, I'm going to be heartbroken if you say that." Xia Ming pretended to shed tears, wiping the corner of his eye and waving the half-folded fan in his hand, making Su Luo sound like a heartless woman who had deceived his feelings and left him.

"You were a huge help to us during our last mission with Noah Base!"

"That was a huge favor. I helped you take away the five-star monster dungeon. From now on, Mengshan can go directly to Noah's Base and the provincial capital from that small path. If this isn't a huge favor, how much more favor would it be?" Su Luo thought to himself.

"Noah Base? You're from Noah Base?"

Upon hearing this useful information, Yan Ruyu coldly sized up Su Luo and asked warily.

"No, not really."

“We’ve only ever collaborated.” As she spoke, Su Luo gave Xia Ming a fleeting glance. “And him.”

If Yan Ruyu still doesn't understand what's going on after all this has been said, then she's wasted the thing around her neck. Noah Base, Su Luo, Xia Ming—it turns out Xia Ming tricked Noah Base before he tricked them!

No wonder they targeted West City; it turns out Noah Base had already offended them!

The enemy of my enemy is my teammate!

Yan Ruyu glanced at Su Luo with a hint of sympathy. Seeing that Su Luo was all alone and vulnerable, Yan Ruyu thought that she might be like them, with her previous teammates all perishing in the belly of the monster. Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu gradually lowered her guard against Su Luo.

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie?"

Su Luo took a step back under that gaze, thinking to herself that her sister didn't need to do that. She even deliberately mentioned it to raise her sister's vigilance, but Yan Ruyu ignored her and pretended not to hear.

“You can’t hide the look of disgust in someone’s eyes. If you hate him, you can’t possibly be a member of the Greedy Wolf Guild. At least, you won’t kill me now.”

As she spoke, Yan Ruyu stepped forward and shielded Su Luo behind her, saying, "I have faith in you. You will be mine. My intuition is always right."
