After the news broke, Lin Xi remembered what her boss had said before: Yin Zhenhe's son had recently returned and was only twenty-six years old.

He was previously a homeless person in mainland China.

The use of the words "before" and "not long ago" is quite ambiguous.

She suddenly thought of a possibility.

Yin seems to be twenty-six years old too, could it be...?

She suddenly turned around.

The eldest sister wanted to follow, but Lin Xi said, "No need to follow. You wait here for me. I'll be right back."

To everyone's surprise, the news shop, which had just been open for business, had already closed down in less than five minutes.

I originally wanted him to help me find out what the relationship was between Yin and Yin Zhenhe, but I didn't expect to miss out on that too.

There were three locks on the door.

Lin Xi was speechless when she saw this scene.

What else is inside besides a dilapidated counter?

Looking at these three locks, you'd think there were lots of treasures hidden inside.

But he left in such a hurry, could it be that he's already started looking for information for me?

Lin Xi had no choice but to return empty-handed.

Suddenly, a group of zombies rushed out of the next room!

Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have been provoked by something, and after they saw Lin Xi, they launched a frenzied attack.

Lin Xi found it strange.

An attack was launched instinctively.

He released his mental energy, instantly killing ten zombies.

Without pausing, she continued to strike quickly.

He grabbed the arm of the nearest zombie and twisted it.

With a click, the arm went limp and fell to its side.

Just as Lin Xi was about to continue snapping his neck to extract the crystal core, a voice suddenly shouted from behind.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Lin Xi turned around, and a fiery whip came crashing down on her!

At this moment, all that could be seen was orange-red flames. Lin Xi subconsciously reached out to grab it, but another figure grabbed the fire whip for her first.

The ugly doll in front of me was still waving its arms and legs...

"Roar roar roar!"

The waiter's palms were slightly black.

But he still pulled hard on the scalding hot whip, and the person opposite him stumbled.

He cast a wary glance at the waiter.

This power... it's actually from a high-level zombie.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Xi circled around behind him, preparing to launch an attack.

But the crazed zombies beat her to it, and the waiter, seeing that she had no time to deal with them, let go of her.

The man then realized something was wrong.

The horde of zombies seems to have been provoked.

He couldn't care less about Xiao Er and Lin Xi anymore, and turned around to focus on dealing with the remaining frenzied zombies.

Lin Xi then stopped. "Waiter, let's go."

Suddenly, a strange man whose back resembled Lin Xi's brother appeared, and Lin Xi couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

He acted swiftly, and in less than five minutes, all the rioting mid-level zombies had fallen to the ground.

He walked up to the man and held out a hand. "Ten mid-grade coins."

"Nameless?" The man raised an eyebrow, then looked at the zombies lying haphazardly on the ground. "Take it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Wuming indeed took action himself.

Wuming didn't seem to have moved over a large area just now, so why did all the zombies that were so far away fall down at the same time?

The man next to him gave his answer the next second, "As expected of a top-tier metal-type ability, but why were you able to reach level seven without any special training?"

Wuming counted the number of crystal cores in his hand. "Captain Ma, you're still at level six, right?"

Ma Haoyu was suddenly exposed and was speechless.

He carefully reviewed what he had just said, and it seemed that nothing he had said was wrong.

He was extremely embarrassed at that moment.

Seeing Lin Xi and Xiao Er who hadn't gone far, he rushed over as if he had grasped a lifeline, saying, "You two can't leave yet. I need to check the surveillance footage to see what just happened."

Lin Xi pointed at Wuming, "What about him? He was involved too."

"Alright! Nameless, you can come back with us."

Wuming extended a finger, "A mid-level crystal core."

Ma Haoyu was almost laughing in exasperation, hands on his hips, "This is just routine work, you have to cooperate!"

Wuming turned around immediately.

Ma Haoyu quickly said, "Okay, okay, don't go!"

Seeing the person in front of him extend another finger, he said, "Now add one more."

Ma Haoyu took a deep breath before forcing a smile. "Okay."

It's his own fault for being unable to beat the other guy.

"How come he got a crystal core?" Lin Xi looked displeased, then held out a palm. "I want one too."

"What do you want? You want it!" Ma Haoyu was already furious. "Who knows how much this zombie outbreak has to do with you?"

Besides, Wuming often helped him, so giving him some crystal cores as a reward was perfectly reasonable.

Lin Xi immediately retorted, "Did you see that? You're spouting nonsense with your eyes open!"

“I didn’t see it, so you can’t leave, or you’ll be chased by countless members of the city guard.”

Lin Xi: ...

"Fine, I'll reluctantly accept this reason."

Lin Xi agreed for more than just that reason.

For some reason, she always felt that this man named Wuming might be her brother.

She wanted to create every opportunity to get close to him and then find out if he was wearing a human skin mask on his face.

However, at this moment she carefully concealed her emotions and simply nodded slightly to Wuming.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, Lin Xi and Xiao Er sat opposite Wuming.

There were two level-six ability users guarding the entrance. They seemed unaware that there were three people inside, each of whom they could not afford to offend.

Wuming fiddled with the two mid-level crystal cores, his eyes slightly closed, a hint of impatience creeping in.

A short while later, Ma Haoyu arrived with a junior team member. "Xiao Ge, can you tell us the results?"

The woman called Xiao Ge was quite young, and she had a very serious expression. "After reviewing the surveillance footage and investigating the blood in the zombie's body, we found that this matter has nothing to do with the three of you."

She closed the folder. "Okay, thank you all for your cooperation today. You can go home now."

Lin Xi and Wuming were both stunned for a moment.

Home? Where is there a home?

The nameless one, too, could not hide the sadness in his eyes.

Can someone who doesn't even know who they are have a home?

Ma Haoyu understood Wuming quite well. He named himself Wuming because he didn't know where he came from or where he was going.

He even forgot himself.

Therefore, saying the word "go home" in front of him would undoubtedly be extremely offensive to him.

He then coughed lightly and gave the little girl beside him a meaningful look.

Xiao Ge realized he might have said something wrong and quickly added, "You can leave now."

Wuming walked towards the door first.

Lin Xi called out to him again, "Please wait a moment!"
