Xu An stared intently at the girl in front of him for a long while.
His intuition told him that there was something wrong with the girl.
but……
It was impossible to pinpoint the problem immediately.
"Are you all night watchmen?"
"He looks so young. The monsters here are incredibly powerful."
"The government only sent a few people like you, is that enough?"
"Are you kidding me?"
After eating a few pieces of roasted monster meat, the man seemed to regain his strength.
He adopted his usual leader's demeanor and started giving orders.
"Young comrades, let me tell you something, I'm not trying to be mean."
"The Twin Towers District is already in this state, why are you night patrolmen only arriving now?"
"Oh dear, we almost got eaten! You have no idea how dangerous it was for us these past few days."
“If it weren’t for my daughter occasionally bringing back some food, we would all starve to death.”
The middle-aged woman, also full of complaints, gnawed on a burnt wolf leg while chattering on and on.
Xu An and the others exchanged glances and frowned.
"Two options: one, stay here and wait for rescue. The military has entered and is in charge of the search and rescue of survivors."
"Second, we'll draw you a rough map; the route on it is slightly safer. If you can't wait, you can evacuate on your own, but..."
"We cannot guarantee that you will leave the Twin Towers District alive."
Xu An calmly glanced at the two of them and said.
Suddenly!
The middle-aged couple put down the meat they were holding and looked at Xu An with some anger.
"etc……"
"What's the meaning?"
"Aren't you going to escort us out of here? Weren't you here to protect us as we evacuate?!"
"Do you know who I am? My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Chu. I was the original official head of the Shuangta District. He's my uncle!"
"With this attitude, I'll have to file a complaint against you sooner or later!"
"You didn't bring any food, and there isn't even a rescue helicopter. Now you want us to stay here and wait to die? Are you even speaking human language?!"
The man roared angrily.
Xu An glanced at the man indifferently and repeated himself.
"Our mission is not to search for and transfer survivors."
"The military is responsible for search and rescue and evacuation."
Upon hearing this, the man in front of him became even angrier.
"fart!"
"As night patrollers, you have a responsibility to protect our safety and to safely escort us out of the Twin Towers area!"
Lin Chu stood up angrily and pointed at Xu An, cursing loudly.
"You bastard, watch your mouth."
"We are night patrol officers, not your bodyguards!"
"When did it become your place, you dog, to tell the night patrol what to do?"
"If you keep bastarding, I'll kill you with one blow!"
Cao Meng gave the man a cold, displeased look and said in a chilling voice.
The Night Watchers are not the military; they are only responsible for handling unusual events following the resurgence of spiritual energy.
Only responsible for the task at hand!
Moreover, night watchmen are often unrestrained.
Cao Meng's angry shout immediately frightened the man, who dared not utter another word.
"Pack your things and let's go."
Xu An said calmly.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps when they discovered a family of three following closely behind them.
Xu An frowned and glanced back at the three of them.
"Heh...hehe..."
"Um, everyone..."
"I think it's safer for us to stay with you."
"There's no need to escort us; we can follow along ourselves."
The man named Lin Chu chuckled and quickly explained.
"If we stay here... we'll die."
The middle-aged woman also looked at the crowd pleadingly.
"Are you going to Shuangta Mountain to carry out a mission?"
"The further you go, the more monsters gather there, and the more dangerous it becomes."
“We are locals from the Twin Towers District, and we are more familiar with the area than you are.”
"Let us lead the way; perhaps it will be of some help to you."
The girl in red, who had been silent until now, spoke calmly.
Xu An and Lao Yao exchanged a glance and nodded silently.
Shuangta Mountain was a place they had to pass through.
Due to the massive destruction caused by the monsters, the original map routes they had were no longer very accurate.
Just like before, the road suddenly disappeared as we walked.
Having someone familiar with the local area to guide you can definitely save you a lot of trouble.
"Okay, but..."
"We cannot guarantee that you will leave the Twin Towers area alive."
Old Yao replied.
After all, they themselves couldn't guarantee that they would leave the Twin Towers District alive.
Upon hearing this, the family of three happily followed.
The middle-aged man was quite tactful and offered to help Li Xingxuan and Gu Ning carry their things, but they refused.
In this chaotic world, once something leaves one's sight, its safety cannot be guaranteed.
"Hello, my name is Yu Yu, Yu as in carp, and Yu as in excess."
The girl in red caught up and smiled at Xu An.
"Xu An!"
"Isn't your father's surname Lin? Why is your surname Yu?"
Xu An asked in confusion.
This time, before the girl in red could answer, the middle-aged man spoke first:
"Yu Yu is an animal we adopted."
“We have another girl, but…”
"After the chaos in the Twin Towers area, they got separated and haven't been found yet."
The middle-aged man had lost his previous tough demeanor, and his tone had softened considerably.
"Didn't you see any other night watchmen before us?"
