Jiang Lang's abilities still have many potential, which will need to be explored gradually in the future.
Bu Ke didn't want him to hurt his body. Even if his wounds could stop bleeding and heal themselves at an inhuman speed, he would still feel uncomfortable if his blood entered the zombie without causing him pain.
She hadn't thought of an alternative method yet, and the car had already entered the territory of District Nine.
Unlike the walled District 7, the main urban area of District 9 has no walls and almost no guardrails, just like before the apocalypse. There are no restrictions on entry and exit, which makes it extremely convenient for zombies and other alien species to enter and exit.
If District 7 looks much the same as before the apocalypse, then District 9 has undergone a complete transformation.
Groups of people dressed in distinctive clothes are always sizing each other up. Only a few shops are open, and the number of street vendors is pitifully small. There are no buses, and not many cars. All you see are motorcycles whizzing by. There are always fights in the corners. Bloodshed, violence, survival of the fittest, madness, radicalism, and bandit culture—the Ninth District is made up of these words.
If there were laws, we could add another word: crime.
They had arrived at the destination, but the Divine Medicine Clan was not one they could find easily; they needed to solve problems such as accommodation first.
Bu Qing's foot injury hadn't healed yet, and Zhuang Zhao had to stay with Yan Shi, so the task of communicating with people naturally fell to Han Mo.
"No need, my brother has already made arrangements. There are also Han family members in District 9, we can just go and stay there."
Others: Please mention this in advance next time.
However, the whereabouts of the Han family were still a problem. Judging from the group of people outside, they might not be able to get any information. Han Mo made a phone call and parked the car to wait for someone to pick him up.
Yan was feeling carsick and uncomfortable, so when the car stopped, he immediately got out and found a shady spot to sit and get some fresh air.
She was spotted as soon as she got off the bus. Single young women are easy targets for men. As for Zhuang Zhao, who got off the bus right after her, they naturally ignored her.
They were itching to make a move, yet they wanted to wait for others to go first so they could see the other party's strength. They were scheming, but not stupid. Women who could survive in the apocalypse and still dare to roam around were not to be trifled with.
Yan Shi was not used to being looked at so casually. His brows were furrowed so tightly that they were almost twisted into a knot, but none of those people seemed to know their place. He was already feeling unwell, and now he was in an even worse mood. He wished he could start a fight to make an example of them.
Zhuang Zhao immediately understood Yan Shi's triggers. She first took out headphones and put them on her, then put on her favorite music. She then took out a comb and combed her hair to help her relax.
"Looks like it'll be a while, why don't you take a nap on my lap?" A gentle breeze was blowing under the tree, the temperature was just right, and there was a bench to sit on. If you ignored the annoying stares around you, it would actually be a nice place to rest.
"It hurts." Yan Shi's words indicated that she was in a slightly better mood; otherwise, she would rather pout and sulk than talk to someone.
"I'll go get the mat."
"Yes, I'll take two."
Zhuang Zhao glared at those people, then got up and went back to get a cushion.
"etc."
"What?" Zhuang Zhao's hand was grabbed by Yan Shi.
"Lower your head."
Zhuang Zhao did as instructed, and then saw Yan Shi's face suddenly approach, feeling his lips brush against hers.
"My boyfriend is so nice, he'll be back soon, I'm waiting for you to come back." Yan Shi kissed him and then praised him. After saying that, she nudged Zhuang Zhao, who looked shocked and confused. Seeing him moving his hands and feet like a robot with a broken program, she was completely amused.
Even when I'm unhappy, teasing him makes me happy again. That's probably the benefit of being in a relationship and the usefulness of having a boyfriend.
Zhuang Zhao: What's going on? Why did he suddenly kiss me? Was it a kiss? Did we bump into each other? Or is he just imagining things?
As Yan Shi watched Zhuang Zhao get into the car, the sweetness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of disgust.
The reason she kissed Zhuang Zhao just now was not only to tease him, but also to provoke the onlookers. She hoped that someone would be provoked and come over to challenge her. She really wanted to hit someone right now.
I don't know if it's because of the weather or my period, it doesn't matter.
However, Yan Shi's wishful thinking failed. No one stepped forward to provoke him, and Zhuang Zhao quickly came out carrying two cushions.
Yan Shi sat on one of the cushions, and Zhuang Zhao sat on the other. She then rested her head on Zhuang Zhao's lap, letting him play with her hair. Before long, she fell asleep.
Zhuang Zhao continued braiding her hair, and only woke her up when the Han family arrived to pick them up. By then, his legs were numb.
Yan Shi didn't expect to actually fall asleep. While massaging Zhuang Zhao's legs, she told him to wake her up earlier next time.
"I heard that if a girl sleeps with her head on a boy's arm, the boy's arm will be amputated the next day. I don't want you to have to amputate your arm."
"I'm not stupid, I'm just a little numb, otherwise I would have woken you up."
“Even a little fool says he’s not stupid.” Yan Shi didn’t believe him.
"It definitely won't happen again next time."
"Whatever, it's not me who's going to have my leg amputated anyway," Yan Shi said deliberately.
"You two hurry up and get in the car, you can be all lovey-dovey when we get there." Bu Ke waited and waited but the two of them didn't get in the car. He peeked out and saw that the two of them were chatting happily.
Han Yan had already made arrangements with the Han family, and their accommodations and meals were all taken care of. Although there was an extra Jiang Lang, making the rooms a little tight, it wasn't a big problem.
During the meal, Bu Ke asked the Han family members who were in charge of hosting them about the Gu family member that Han Yan had mentioned and wanted them to investigate.
“We’re all keeping an eye on her. She went out yesterday and hasn’t come back yet. We haven’t found out exactly where she went, but she’s probably heading southwest.”
"Could they have already left?" Han Mo worried, otherwise the trip would have been in vain.
"It shouldn't be. She didn't bring much with her; she's probably just going away for a few days."
Do you know her name?
“You are pitiful.”
“Gu Lian? Isn’t it Gu Fu?” Bu Ke asked in surprise.
"The name we found out is Gu Lian."
"You'll know when she gets back; she'll know her address, right?"
"This is the place." The Han family handed over a slip of paper with an address written on it. Bu Ke glanced at it and put it away.
“Let’s go take a look in a bit,” Bu Ke said to her brother.
"Go by yourself."
"Oh, you're already here, and now you're starting to have a tiff?"
Yan Shi, with a gossipy look on his face, quietly ate the melon, hoping the two would reveal some more juicy details.
Then the two of them stopped talking, and the revelations ended there.
In the end, Bu Qing couldn't stick to her initial decision, and after the meal, Bu Ke dragged her to scout out the location.
Jiang Lang was sleeping in his room, while Yan Shi, bored, urged Zhuang Zhao to go out for a walk.
To be honest, Zhuang Zhao wasn't confident he could protect her in the twisted, chaotic, violent, and unreasonable Ninth District.
So he pulled Han Mo along as well.
Han Mo readily agreed. Although he didn't want to be a third wheel, he would put up with it for the sake of his companion's safety.
Yan Shi thought that Zhuang Zhao had brought Han Mo along to find someone to pay for their trip. The currencies in District 7 and District 9 were not interchangeable, and since they were new to the area and had no money, even if they didn't buy anything, they wouldn't have money to take a ride back if they got lost.
The three set off with their own thoughts in mind, forgetting to ask who in District Nine they shouldn't mess with, and who they'd better avoid.
