“I’ve already told General Li that he’s on his way to Xingcheng! But I didn’t see anything just now!” Xing Gang replied, then exited the mobile mall and stood guard at the feet of the dragon turtle.
Furthermore, by utilizing the newly added communication function of the modified bracelet, he immediately informed Li Xusen of the lone wolf's appearance.
However, he had a hidden meaning in his words, meaning he didn't reveal Wu Tianyuan's matter.
Su Yue keenly sensed Xing Gang's subtle thoughts, but for him, it had no real impact.
After all, he still needed to handle the chaotic situation within the mobile marketplace.
"It's alright! This person is yours!" Su Yue said calmly, pointing to Er Lengzi beside him.
Er Lengzi smiled憨憨地, revealing a set of big white teeth, with a few grains of rice still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Who is this brother...?" Xing Gang had seen Er Lengzi early in the morning, but due to Lone Wolf's imposing presence, he dared not ask.
"I picked him up by the roadside. He's quite capable, but a bit simple-minded. We need to find a reliable person to mentor him," Su Yue explained.
Upon hearing this, Xing Gang immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me! I will personally take care of him."
In Xing Gang's view, anyone who can gain the approval of Lone Wolf must be quite capable.
Moreover, Lone Wolf had repeatedly lent a helping hand to the Dragon Group when they were in danger, so he naturally had no doubt about Lone Wolf's judgment.
The person he recommends is definitely not the kind of backstabber.
Whether this person was truly stupid or not was irrelevant to Xing Gang.
“You guys are good at finding people, so while you’re at it, please find out his personal information as well,” Su Yue said.
"No problem, Mr. Lone Wolf, leave it to me! Could you tell me his real name?"
"I don't know, I only know that his nickname is Er Lengzi (meaning 'foolish')."
"This could be a bit tricky and may take some time."
"It's alright, just remember not to mention this to anyone," Su Yue said, preparing to leave.
“White Sandalwood! White as in white, sandalwood as in sandalwood. Lu Wei said that Er Lengzi’s real name is White Sandalwood!” the Wood Ghost said.
Upon hearing the name "Bai Tan," Er Lengzi's body trembled involuntarily.
It was as if the name was a nightmare to him, sending chills down his spine.
White sandalwood is simply the name of a type of grass.
Luvia is the name of a flower.
This made Su Yue wonder if the place where these two people used to live had a habit of naming it after flowers or grass.
Is this a coincidence, or is there a deeper meaning?
Su Yue looked at Lu Wei, who still maintained her calm and composed demeanor.
However, he could not imagine what kind of hardships Luvie had gone through in her childhood.
...
Early in the morning, Su Yue was awakened by several messages that arrived in succession.
[Ding! China Region Announcement!]
[Ding! Thanks to the survivors' tireless efforts, the Panyu safe zone has successfully reached level 2!]
[Ding! Thanks to the collective efforts of the survivors, the Chang'an Safe Zone has successfully reached Level 2!]
Including Beijing, Changsha, and Jian'an, five cities in China have now successfully unlocked the Level 2 security zone.
Surprisingly, the Bai Shi family in Panyu and the Liu family in Chang'an...
Despite suffering a crushing defeat in the first martial arts tournament.
Surprisingly, they broke through the safety zone's level restrictions even earlier than the Xiao family of Guandong, one of the four major families.
The upgrades of these two cities were almost simultaneous.
This clearly shows that they had reached a tacit understanding and formulated corresponding strategies in the face of Su Yue's provocations.
Clearly, during the week that Su Yue disappeared, all parts of China underwent tremendous changes.
In particular, the emergence of modified bracelets has greatly promoted communication and exchange among different families.
Nowadays, in the safe zone's mall, people can even directly purchase a modification called "Information Transmission".
[Wristband Upgrade: Information Transmission]: After upgrade, the wristband can activate the friend system and allow information to be transmitted between different cities.
Note that message transmission may fail in special areas. It can be repeatedly modified to unlock more friends.
Although the price is not high, the store only refreshes five items per day, so this information is only in the hands of a few important figures.
Li Xusen decided to come immediately after receiving Xing Gang's message last night.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Su Yue finished her morning routine.
When he stepped out of the safe house arranged by the Dragon Group, Li Xusen had been waiting for him for a long time.
Li Xusen cut to the chase: "According to our informants, the Liu family of Chang'an has mobilized their entire force. Liu Batian is leading 100,000 elite troops, and they are heading to Panyu."
"I know you have a grudge against the Baishi family of Panyu and the Liu family of Chang'an. Our Dragon Group shares this goal with you! Therefore, on behalf of the Dragon Group, I would like to cooperate with you!"
Li Xusen revealed all the information he knew.
Su Yue nodded.
This was not unexpected for Su Yue.
The fact that the safety zones in Panyu and Chang'an were upgraded at the same time speaks volumes.
After all, they all face a common enemy – the "lone wolf".
In their view, when it comes to fighting one-on-one, no one can beat a lone wolf.
"Cooperation? How do we cooperate?" Su Yue asked.
"We need you to appear in Chang'an and force the entire Liu family to flee. This way, our Dragon Group can take over Chang'an at minimal cost. Once Chang'an is secure, we'll then march on Panyu and wipe out both families in one fell swoop!"
Li Xusen expressed his thoughts, a decision based on his position as a member of the Dragon Group.
Su Yue keenly grasped Li Xusen's intentions; to be honest, Li Xusen had already shown considerable sincerity.
However, for Su Yue, the pace of progress remains slow.
He couldn't be sure when Chang'an would be stable, and the longer it took, the more uncertainties there would be.
"It's too small!" Su Yue pointed out bluntly.
"Where is it smaller? It's always been this big!" Li Xusen was like Louis XVI holding a pack of Head & Shoulders—completely bewildered, and subconsciously looked in that direction.
"I mean, your vision is too narrow!" Su Yue said helplessly.
"With my method, you can not only capture territory faster, but also minimize your losses!"
"Is this really true?" Li Xusen couldn't help but ask.
He knew that once Chang'an was secured, Panyu would have already laid an impregnable defense line, and the losses would certainly be significant.
Moreover, at that time, completely eliminating the enemy would have been a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
“However, it will cost extra!” Su Yue revealed a meaningful smile.
