He didn't know whether he should tell his third uncle about this unbelievable thing.
While he was still hesitating, Lu Chen looked up at him.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just know that you should stay away from Li Xin'er from now on."
This one sentence completely extinguished Lu Peiting's desire to speak, and he nodded perfunctorily in agreement.
Lu Chen then changed the subject.
"I went to your apartment but couldn't find you. I found your agent instead. As she said, she prepared a lot of supplies for you before the apocalypse, so I guess I've done you a favor."
I've brought her back to base. You can go see her anytime; she's in Area A. Here's her base pass.
As he spoke, he took out a blue, stamped tag with a hanging rope from the drawer and handed it to Lu Peiting.

Having grown up in such a family, Lu Peiting had long been influenced by what he saw and heard, and instantly understood the meaning behind it.
Somewhat dazed, he nodded before stumbling out of the office.
The office was on the third floor, which was also the top floor. Lu Peiting ran down the stairs until he reached the first floor, where he took a deep breath, as if the air outside was fresh.
He stood there, somewhat dazed, recalling Lu Chen's words just now.
I'm no longer in Kyoto...
The fact that the Lu family is not in Kyoto only proves that the authorities have moved away. Does that mean that other places have been abandoned? Or that the situation is much more dangerous than he imagined?
Lu Peiting walked along, lost in thought, until he reached Area A.
