Upon arriving at the residential area, Xiao Longzhan walked further in and finally stopped in front of a road sign that read "Entrance to Basement in Area A".
"Strange, I clearly sensed my sister was nearby, so why can't I see her?"
He walked around the road sign, his gaze finally settling on the entrance to the basement. "Could it be down there?"
"Big brother, big brother, come quick!"
Xiao Liang'an bent over on a manhole cover, squinting as he looked down through the drain hole.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Longzhan walked up to him, squatted down, and asked him.
"There's something down there, and it's flashing red."
Xiao Liang'an moved aside to make room for the drain hole.
Xiao Longzhan bent down, squinted one eye and looked down. Sure enough, just as Xiao Liang'an had said, there was something flashing red light below.
A half-meter-long wire appeared in his hand, which he inserted into the drain hole and pressed against the object. Then he spoke forcefully.
It had a soft texture and made a 'gurgling' sound.
What is this?
A look of doubt flashed in Xiao Longzhan's eyes. He pulled out the wire, took out a flashlight, and shone it into the rain hole.
Below, there was nothing but wet, sticky soil and rotting dead leaves.
"strangeness......"
Just as Xiao Longzhan put away his flashlight and was about to get up, a red light flashed again below.
But when he turned on the flashlight, the thing flashing red light disappeared.
"Um?"
This really piqued Xiao Longzhan's curiosity.
He put away the wire and flashlight, grabbed the drain hole with his small hand, and gently lifted the manhole cover.
"Big brother?"
Xiao Liang'an's eyes widened in surprise, not understanding why Xiao Longzhan had suddenly lifted the manhole cover.
Passersby were also stunned by Xiaolongzhan's actions, and they all stopped and looked at him.
"Whose brat is this? Why is he playing with the manhole cover? Is this something he should be playing with?"
Some survivors looked around and shouted loudly.
But instead of finding the person he was looking for, he called over a patrol team from afar.
"What happened?"
The patrol arrived quickly. The captain, with a serious expression, asked, his gaze sweeping rapidly over the surrounding survivors.
"Captain Zhuang, you need to discipline this brat!"
The person who had been shouting earlier immediately stood up and pointed at Xiao Longzhan, who was about to jump into the well.
"Hey kid, you can't jump on that!"
Zhuang Lian's heart skipped a beat. He rushed to Xiao Longzhan, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and lifted him up.
"You big bad guy, let go of my brother!"
Seeing Xiao Longzhan being lifted up like a chick, Xiao Liang'an flew into a rage and punched Zhuang Lian.
When Zhuang Lian sensed the terrifying power contained in that fist, his expression immediately changed drastically. He threw Xiao Longzhan aside and quickly retreated.
However, how could he possibly be faster than Xiao Liang'an? Xiao Liang'an's fist appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Just as Zhuang Lian thought he was about to take the punch head-on, a delicate white hand lightly caught Xiao Liang'an's fist.
"Xiao An, don't be impulsive~"
With a gentle twist of his wrist, Xiao Longzhan dissipated the force of Xiao Liang'an's fist. Then, he patted Xiao Liang'an's head and explained on Zhuang Lian's behalf, "He's not a bad person, and he didn't want to hurt me. He was just afraid that I would get hurt if I jumped down."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liang'an glanced at Zhuang Lian and apologized readily, "I'm sorry."
"It's...it's okay..."
Zhuang Lian chuckled dryly, a look of apprehension and disbelief flashing in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Liang An.
What exactly is the background of this child? Zhuang Lian pondered to himself.
The instant the fist reached his eyes, he truly felt the fear of death.
That cold, desperate feeling still haunts him.
Zhuang Lian's gaze then shifted to Xiao Longzhan, and the child beside him—
He was able to take that punch so easily; he must be even stronger.
"Captain, this older child seems to be the young master of the Shen family. I haven't seen the one next to him before, but he has the strength to suppress you, so his status must be quite high."
One of the team members walked up to Zhuang Lian and whispered something.
To achieve such strength at such a young age must be due to overwhelming resources, and there are only a handful of companies in the entire capital city that can do that.
