Chapter 61

Even the person involved couldn't help but be tempted, so you can imagine how attractive this astronomical bounty would be to ordinary people.

And don’t forget, this is only the bounty given by the First Base, and there are several other companies that will prepay 80% of the rewards!

Upon hearing the news, even the naive little fox instantly sensed the crisis and directly severed the spiritual connection with the idealist next door.

But it's no use.

Even if this conversation is not leaked, after tonight, everyone in the city will know that the A City Army and the Idealism Cult are fighting at the east gate of the city, just to get a man named Wen Xin.

It was like an invisible blade was pressed against my heart.

The little fox was anxious and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

——He has to do something.

As a result, before the hand that cast the illusion was raised, it was held in Wen Xin's hand.

Wen Xin understood the little fox and knew what he was thinking.

But exerting emotional influence on tens of thousands of people in the city was already tiring for the little fox.

If there is one more layer of mental suggestion, how can Tuanzi bear it?

Besides, it's too late.

Wen Xin met the little fox's eyes and shook his head: "Almost two hours have passed. The mercenaries in the city who heard the news must have reported it. There is no need to waste any more effort."

"Warm and sweet..."

The little fox bit his lip, regretting not having thought of this earlier.

The boy grabbed the young man's sleeve and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, no one can take advantage of you!"

Before Wen Xin could say anything, Wen Jinfeng beside him rudely interrupted his solemn promise.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, but the Idealism Cult can't even stop me, so how can they stop the First Base?"

The little fox opened his mouth to refute.

The man seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say, and said with a smile, "Are you trying to say that you held back on me because I'm Wen Xin's brother?"

The young man did not respond, but he looked up, with a bloodshot look in his eyes.

Looking at his expression, it seemed as if three big words were clearly written on his face: What else?

Seeing this, the man curled up a mocking smile.

Seeing that a war was about to break out again, Wen Xin was overwhelmed and quickly stood between the two men, separating the two barrels of fire/powder.

He put one hand on the little fox's head and asked Wen Jinfeng, "What on earth did the First Base see in me?"

"That's for you, my dear brother."

Wen Jinfeng smiled wryly: "To be honest, when I first heard the news, I almost suspected that you had concealed from me that you had run for the election of Efite III's princess."

"Or maybe you awakened your superpowers when you were three years old, stole the pyramids, blew up the space hub, and caused volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes. You were also responsible for the greenhouse effect."

Wen Xin: “…”

"Then you also learned the art of clones, and you could flirt with the leaders of the four major forces in the east, west, south, and north at the same time in one day."

Wen Xin: “…………”

He rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "These jokes are not funny at all."

"I've never found that funny."

Although Wen Jinfeng's mouth was curled up, there was no smile in his eyes, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"When rumors start to spread, who knows what kind of charges they can make up against you."

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Internet is now paralyzed and rumors don't spread as quickly.

"What I want to tell you is that there is a lot of unrealistic and false information out there. It is difficult to find out the specific reason why the First Foundation has taken a strong interest in you."

Wen Jinfeng said: "Afterwards I sent someone to check the bounty release time."

Compared to other forces, the First Base was nearly four days late in starting to collect information about Wen Xin.

"It is possible that the First Base had nothing better to do and was just curious, but they would not offer such a high reward if they were just curious."

"So I guess that one or more of the forces that are looking for you are the original targets of the First Foundation, such as the S-rank Black Snake mutant that appeared in the east."

"The First Base has tried many times to capture Black Snake, spending a lot of manpower and resources, but unfortunately they have failed every time."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sneer.

"And you, like the golden fleece that fell from the sky, burst into people's vision, and very coincidentally but very appropriately served as a stepping stone in the middle."

Listening to the man's sharp analysis, Wen Xin seemed to understand why the young Wen Jinfeng could become the ruler of City A and everyone under him obeyed him.

Wen Jinfeng finished speaking with a gloomy tone, and turned around to see the young man looking at him with undisguised admiration.

The incandescent light from above fell into those clear and bright eyes, and as the eyes moved slightly, it was as if glowing stars were twinkling non-stop.

"..." Wen Jinfeng suddenly paused, the violence in his heart dissipated a lot in an instant, and he turned his head away awkwardly.

"Look at me, what are you doing? Don't you think about what good things you have done?"

“The people behind you might be speculating on the high jackpot, but the people in front of you are coming straight for you.”

Whether before or after the apocalypse, Wen Xin's life has always been orderly and ordinary.

The only unusual behavior was adopting a few little balls of unknown origin.

Wen Xin touched his nose angrily: "Maybe it's a friend I know who's looking for me."

Before he could finish his words, the man froze and stared at him strangely.

There was a clear meaning in his eyes, first doubt, then extreme shock.

It's like someone who has never had sex accidentally entering a red light zone, and his entire world view is reshaped.

Wen Xin knew his brother had misunderstood and explained with a headache: "I'm not having an affair with anyone, we're just good friends."

Wen Jinfeng asked cautiously, "They are very close, how close are they? And he is a brother you met from some unknown source?"

Wen Xin was speechless, glanced at the little fox quietly, and wisely chose to remain silent on this issue.

Just by recognizing Xiao Qi, his brother's reaction was so intense.

If he knew that he still had five dumplings that he hadn't found, he would probably explode.

Wen Xin calmly changed the subject: "But you know, even if I leave City B, I can't go back to City A."

Hearing that he was leaving, the little fox's heart tightened, and then he felt a warm hand patting his back at the right time.

The boy looked up, and seeing the soothing gaze of the young man, he suppressed his anxiety again.

Wen Xin looked at Wen Jinfeng who had suddenly become silent, and continued, "The first base is in the north, closer to City A."

"If they want to attack City A, it will be easier than attacking City B. I believe you know this better than I do."

The reason why the First Base did not take over City A at the beginning was because various environmental factors brought about relatively large restrictions. A forceful attack on City A would only result in more losses than gains.

If Wen Xin returns to City A, then all restrictions will no longer be restrictions for the First Base.

The first base may not even need to take action.

With the trend of sky-high bounties, there will be countless people who are greedy for profit and will put pressure on Wen Jinfeng.

That is not a pressure that City A should bear, and it is not a burden that Wen Jinfeng should be able to handle.

It is definitely not something Wen Xin can tolerate.

Wen Jinfeng crossed his arms across his chest and clenched his fists.

After a long while, he spoke hoarsely, "Actually, before I came here, I thought about finding out why you attracted them. Maybe I could start from those aspects and create some smoke bombs to confuse them."

The person the world is looking for is Wen Xin.

But I don’t know that wen xin means warm and spicy.

Spread more false information outside. Even if some of Wen Xin's information has been leaked, Wen Xin can change from male to female, from young to old and younger.

But the premise for doing so is that he did not send anyone to announce the bounty for finding Wen Xin.

As soon as the bounty was announced by City A, people soon found out that Wen Xin was his younger brother.

Why Wen Xin traveled all the way from City G to City A was also given a reasonable explanation.

Even though Wen Jinfeng was quickly alarmed and his sharp intuition made him quickly withdraw the bounty after realizing this, the news still spread.

Those clues are buried in a pile of true and false news, and you can notice them as long as you pay attention.

On the way to the Idealism Church, Wen Jinfeng sat in the armored vehicle and asked himself more than once while looking at Wen Xin's photo.

——What was I thinking at that time?

Why emphasize in the information that Wen Xin is his younger brother? Why bother to emphasize in the information that Wen Xin is his younger brother? Why bother to emphasize in the information that Wen Xin is his younger brother? Why bother to emphasize in the information that Wen Xin is his younger brother?

Afraid that the criminal would not know the severity of the situation and stab Wen Xin, and afraid that the bounty would not be noticeable enough in the first place, why didn't they raise the price?

Wen Jinfeng asked repeatedly and looked back repeatedly.

It was obvious that he had fallen so many times before, and it was obvious that he was able to tread carefully when making decisions on some important events.

Why do you still naively think that your current identity and status are enough to serve as a protective umbrella for Wen Xin?

People didn't know who Wen Xin was before, but now, in the eyes of some people, Wen Xin has been completely exposed.

Because of his ridiculously stupid ideas, because of his arrogance.

"elder brother?"

The young man's clear voice sounded from in front of him, and Wen Jinfeng was suddenly pulled back to reality from the pain.

Wen Xin looked at the man who suddenly fell silent and asked worriedly, "What were you thinking about just now?"

"...I didn't think much of it." Wen Jinfeng changed the subject and said, "Anyway, I did spread some information. I'm not sure if it can confuse those people, but it has some effect."

The little fox finally couldn't help but speak: "But they all know that you came to the Wei Xin Sect to find Wen Xin."

Wen Jinfeng came with such fanfare, it was hard not to know.

"right."

Wen Jinfeng's tone was as calm as if he was retelling a script.

"So Wen Xin wanted to go back with me, but on the way back we suddenly encountered an accident, and finally Wen Xin 'disappeared'."

"I will place him on a small island in the North Sea afterwards, and then announce two pieces of news to the public: one is that Wen Xin unfortunately died, and the other is that Wen Xin was kidnapped again in the chaos."

The little fox understood that Wen Jinfeng wanted to direct and act out the drama himself, so that the world would once again be unsure of Wen Xin's whereabouts.

Wen Jinfeng looked at Wen Xin and curled his lips expressionlessly: "I once thought about not coming to see you, but it seems that His Holiness the Pope has not paid much attention to the issue of your information protection."

"The spies I sent in less than half a day found out that you returned to the city with the Idealist cardinal a few days ago and followed them into the church."

The little fox's hand tightened instantly: "What did you say?"

He quickly looked back and found that it seemed to be true.

It was because he had no idea that a high reward had been announced at that time, so how could he think of helping Wen Xin hide his tracks?

With a cracking sound, several cracks appeared on the chair that the boy was holding in his palm.

Seeing the doubt and uncertainty on the boy's face, Wen Xin was about to get into a rut again, so he just tapped the boy on the forehead with his finger.

Boom.

The little fox was caught off guard and quickly covered his head: "Ugh!"

"What are you thinking about, Your Highness?"

Wen Xin didn't look nervous or scared, instead he smiled in a relaxed manner: "Even I didn't realize I should hide a little and cover my whereabouts, why are you so anxious to take the blame?"

"To be honest, isn't it me who should be blamed the most?"

The young man looked at them both at the same time, his voice weakened, and he said self-deprecatingly: "I almost caused City A and City B to become enemies, and made you worry about my stay or departure. It's like a disaster."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately refuted by two people.

Wen Jinfeng frowned: "What a stupid thing to say."

The little fox disagreed: "It's the people who are looking for you who are bad. It has nothing to do with you."

Wen Xin: "So I shouldn't blame myself?"

Wen Jinfeng: "Why are you blaming yourself, silly?"

Little Fox: "Of course not!"

Wen Xin immediately narrowed his eyes: "I shouldn't blame myself. Aren't you the same? Don't blame yourself so much."

Looking at the young man's frank and cheerful smile, Wen Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little helpless, and as if touched, he curled the corners of his mouth.

The little fox stopped having wild thoughts, fearing that Wen Xin would see it and make people worry, so he simply buried his head in the young man's chest and rubbed him for comfort.

Wen Xin patted the boy's head gently.

The three of them discussed until late at night.

Although Wen Jinfeng did not directly mention the matter of the box, he still tactfully mentioned that he had been to the First Base.

When the man pointed this out, the little fox reacted immediately.

Why did it feel danger and a feeling of discomfort so strong that it could not be ignored during its confrontation with Wen Jinfeng?

Because the First Foundation has the technology to control mutants.

It cannot be said that it is unsafe for Wen Xin to stay with him. The little fox is 80% sure that he can protect her.

But because there was still 20 percent of uncertainty, he fell into doubt and hesitation.

For this reason, the young man was silent for a while and no longer insisted on keeping Wen Xin.

But he was still very dissatisfied with Wen Jinfeng's arrangement.

"You can't hide Wen Xin on a deserted island. He loves noise and bustle, and he'll be lonely."

Wen Jinfeng: "How could there be no one? Hundreds of soldiers will protect him closely."

"That's different!" the little fox was very stubborn, "Those are not his family!"

Wen Jinfeng had never expected that he, the legitimate guardian, would be taught a lesson by a newly-acknowledged wild brother. He raised his eyebrows indifferently.

Until he accidentally saw Wen Xin pursed her lips hard after hearing these words.

It seemed as if there was an indescribable feeling that spread from the man's heart all the way to the tip of his tongue, and the arc of his raised mouth corners also straightened into a straight line.

It only took a moment for Wen Xin to purse her lips.

Then he smiled as if nothing had happened, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I can come back after the storm has passed. If you miss me, you can come to the island to see me."

After discussing the matter till now, it seems to have finally come to an end, and it is highly feasible, with no one having any objections.

When Wen Xin was about to go back, he suddenly heard Wen Jinfeng calling him.

The man's voice was filled with hesitation.

"You...are you dissatisfied with this arrangement?"

Winsington paused.

He sighed: "If there is a better solution, then of course I can choose the better one and will not consider the worse one."

“…”

Wen Jinfeng looked gloomy, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched little by little.

The moon outside the window was half covered by dark clouds, the light and shadow in the corridor flickered, and the thick haze gradually spread towards his feet, as if it wanted to swallow him up.

But Wen Xin suddenly changed the subject, his tone jumping happily like a musical note: "So brother, why don't you sell me to the First Base? That's a full 450 million!"

Wen Jinfeng's eyelids jumped instantly, and he ignored his self-control and took a few steps forward, grabbed his ears, narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly: "You dare?"

Wen Xin felt the pain and begged for mercy: "I don't dare anymore, I really don't dare anymore, please forgive me, it hurts, it hurts."

The young man held Wen Jinfeng's hand, grinning and unable to help laughing.

Without the man's knowledge, she pulled him out of the shadow of the corridor, intentionally or unintentionally, and stood by the window bathed in moonlight.

Wen Jinfeng felt a headache when he saw him cheating, so he rubbed his forehead and let him go despite the young man's repeated requests for mercy.

That evening.

The little fox turned back into the form of a pink ball, returned to the room one step ahead, and sat on the bed early waiting for Wen Xin.

Wen Xin saw it and cooperated with its surprised expression. He picked up the pink ball and pinched its furry cheeks: "Little rascal, I finally found you. Where did you go before?"

“Hmm——”

The little pink ball barked a few times, as if making an innocent excuse. Wen Xin listened, smiled, and kissed its forehead again.

According to Wen Jinfeng's plan, they would have to leave at the latest tomorrow morning.

Wen Xin washed up and went to bed, preparing to go to bed early to conserve her energy, but Tuanzi did not get into bed.

It stood beside the young man's pillow, and it was obvious that it had something to say to him.

"What's wrong?"

In front of him, the little fox stretched out its paw pad and drew long marks on the bed.

The traces were drawn stroke by stroke, and soon Wen Xin could see clearly that the little fox was writing.

However, now that you can even write, wouldn't it be more convenient to just speak directly?

Wen Xin smiled helplessly, touched the pink ball's head, and then concentrated on identifying what the other party had written.

The pink flesh pad was writing back and forth on the bed, with only two words.

Wen Xin recognized the two words, slowly stopped laughing, and couldn't help but read them out loud: "Xiao, Hei?"

He raised his head suddenly: "You mean, we can go find Xiao Hei?"

The little fox barked twice with great interest.

“Oh.”

Yes, just go find number one.

We can't defeat the First Base, but Number One can!

Wen Xin suddenly stood up from the bed and looked at the little fox: "Xiao Qi, do you know where Xiao Hei is?"

Even if Wen Xin suspected that there were a few groups of people looking for him outside, he couldn't confirm it right away.

Unless he ran over and risked his own life, there would be too many uncertainties.

Upon hearing this question, the little fox's wildly wagging tail suddenly froze, and its pointed ears on both sides drooped down.

It seems that after evolving into a complete form, one can control and release one's aura freely.

Number One intentionally concealed itself, and it could not sense Number One's location.

Wen Xin felt as if a basin of cool water was poured over him, and his excited mood slowly calmed down.

He calmed himself down and did not show his regret. He comforted the little fox and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We will find them again later. It will be the same."

But then, the little fox suddenly remembered something and quickly lifted up the pad.

This time it only wrote one word.

Record.

Wen Xin frowned in confusion, what record?

After a while, he came to his senses. He looked at the little fox and his tone became unstable again: "Are you talking about Ah Lu?"
