"That means the East City authorities have noticed our presence, right?"
In the dim room, behind the bamboo screen, the gray gauze curtains swayed gently. In front of the window stood a man, his back to the door, looking out the window, his tall figure imprinted on the screen.
"Yes."
The man who just walked in shrank his body, looked up at the other person quietly, then immediately lowered his head again, his voice filled with panic. This man was none other than Wang Zhiren, the head of the Wang family in Haicheng, who had just had a meeting with Commander Liu, Adjutant Xu and others.
"You didn't even seize such a good opportunity, you're such a loser!" the man cursed in a low voice.
Wang Zhiren, who was always arrogant in front of outsiders, didn't dare to say a word at this moment. He just lowered his head and even breathed softly, for fear that he would become an innocent victim. He knew that the other party was angry with the cloaked man because he had not handled the matter of the school's dark zone well.
"Forget it, the loser deserved to die, luckily he died quickly." The man in front of the window turned around, and only then could he see the man's face clearly. He was actually a very handsome young man. If it weren't for the sharp nails on his hands that were wrapped around wisps of dark matter, no one would have thought that he was actually a high-level dark creature.
Wang Zhiren secretly looked up and glanced at him, and thought of the sketches of advanced dark creatures that Adjutant Xu took out at the meeting. Thinking of those advanced dark creatures with long hair and animal-like shapes, it was no wonder that the person in front of him could lurk among humans and live for so long without being discovered.
"Cooperate and coexist peacefully with humans? Which idiot came up with this suggestion? It's really, hahaha, so stupid. How can a tiger and a lamb coexist peacefully? I'm afraid they are raising them to store food for themselves. You humans don't really believe it, do you?" The man asked curiously, with a look of contempt in his words.
"This... some people have doubts, while others are willing to give it a try..." Wang Zhiren lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the other person, and was unsure of the meaning in the other person's tone, so he had to give a vague answer to please everyone.
"Tsk." Seeing his timid look, the man didn't care. He casually played with his slender, sharp fingers and said, "I'm not interested in whether you cooperate or not. It's just that I don't like others trying to steal the prey in my territory. The entire East City is under my control. Keep a close eye on it for me. Do you understand?"
"Ah? Yes, yes! I will definitely keep a close eye on them!"
"Oh right, that Qiyi Exchange has been killing so many of my captive prey lately. It's time to teach them a lesson. Remember to make arrangements. Oh, and get some high-level dark cores!"
Wang Zhiren broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He stammered, "Last time in the school's dark zone, Principal Ke accidentally exposed his dealings with Wang Qinghong in mutant plants and animals. Adjutant Xu became suspicious of the Wang family, and the East City Guards have been secretly investigating the Wang family. Lately, I've noticed more people watching at the door. If we take action now, will...?"
"Aren't you humans the most particular about evidence? Isn't it better to just die without evidence? Do I need to teach you this?"
"You mean to bring Principal Ke and his family..."
"Let's deal with everyone who's come into contact with this line. There's no point keeping those who don't do their job well, right? Let's just turn them into contaminants. At least we can still make some use of them in the end."
The man decided the life and death of dozens of people in the most nonchalant tone.
Wang Zhiren was shocked. Although Wang Qinghong was dead, this line, in addition to Principal Ke, also planted many Wang family cultivators, and some people who defected to the Wang family. These were all the hidden hands cultivated by the Wang family. If they were all eliminated at once, the Wang family would suffer a great loss. He really couldn't bear it, so he could only bite the bullet and try to fight for it:
"This... so many people died at once, isn't that too big a target?"
"What? You want me to do it myself?"
Wang Zhiren immediately broke out in a sweat when he heard this and quickly responded, "I'll go, I'll do it right away!"
If this guy is really allowed to take action, it won’t just be a few members of the Wang family who will die!
The entire East City was in turmoil. After hearing the news, various forces were ready to take action. But for Xiao Bai and Murong An, who were still in the dark underground, the time underground was so peaceful and boring.
Yes, peaceful and boring.
Perhaps all the bad luck from before was due to encountering the contaminated insect swarm. When Xiao Bai thought that they would encounter more disgusting and terrifying mutant animals ahead, to their surprise, the deeper underground, the more peaceful it was, even beautiful.
After walking through a muddy section of land, the air became more and more humid, the ground became more and more humid, and the soil on the ground became more and more sticky. Gradually, the deeper they went, the soil was replaced by small stones, and the small stones gradually turned into large stones. Finally, Xiao Bai and his friends came to a place similar to an underground cave.
What a beautiful underground world!
The surroundings are all smooth, round, ochre-colored giant rocks, and on the surface of these rocks, there is a transparent crystal-like crystalline stone. Clear underground spring water flows through the surface of these yellow rocks. When there is no light, this place seems so ordinary and quiet, and a little claustrophobic, but once there is a little light, the place changes its appearance instantly.
The transparent crystals in the flowing clear spring water reflect tiny bits of light, as if starlight is flowing in the water, twinkling and extremely dazzling and beautiful. The round ochre stones are stacked one on top of another, and further ahead is a deep and shallow pool of water, with bits of light also flickering at the bottom of the pool. What is amazing is that these deep pools of water appear blue-green in the light, and are crystal clear.
When Xiao Bai saw the clean underground spring water, he subconsciously took a step forward, reached his hand into the spring water, scooped up a handful and splashed it on his face, but he shivered from the cold underground water.
But she didn't care about the cold anymore. If she didn't wash, she really felt that she would stink!
