Although Wen Zhen in front of her was thin and looked somewhat sickly, his white hair made it impossible to mistake him... Cen Yu secretly glanced at him a few times before saying, "I know him."
“It’s from the Empire,” Wen Zhen said.
He noticed the insignia on the three men's uniforms, then looked around and said, "Come here."
Cen Yu didn't move until it seemed that the Zerg were arriving on a distant high-rise building, at which point he walked to Wen Zhen's side.
“I thought you wouldn’t come along,” Wen Zhen said.
Although he looked thin and sickly, he carried heavy goods with ease.
He didn't ask the three people why they were there; he simply gestured for them to follow him.
They walked along the intricate paths on the waterlogged ground, and at times, Cen Yu had to avoid the tangled power lines overhead—he had no idea that such a primitive place still existed in the interstellar era.
If it weren't for the occasional insectoid creatures appearing overhead, he would have thought he was on Earth around the turn of the millennium, where everything seemed so primitive.
Wen Zhen lived in a semi-basement of an old residential building. Although it was a residential building, the first floor was almost completely opened up and turned into some food processing plants... Cen Yu glanced at it and spotted the sign for "Liangliang Nutritional Liquid".
Cen Yu: "..."
He took out his nutrient solution and glanced at it. The huge "Liangliang Nutrient Solution" on it left him speechless.
How come there are still these unlicensed, unregulated workshops in the interstellar age?
Perhaps Cen Yu's action of taking out the nutrient solution to check was too obvious, because Wen Zhen also glanced at it. Of course, he saw the brand on the nutrient solution. "Is the Imperial Military Academy this poor?"
"They actually buy these kinds of substandard products."
Perhaps because the worry on Cen Yu's face was too obvious, Wen Zhen paused for a moment and then said, "It won't kill anyone, at most it will just give you diarrhea."
The shop owner outside Liangliang Nutritional Drink also noticed the group of people standing there. Seeing the familiar packaging in Cen Yu's hand, he slapped his forehead—
"That's amazing!"
"Where did you find this version from several years ago?"
"What are you doing here? On a pilgrimage?"
Cen Yu was at a loss for words. He glanced at the nutrient solution in his hand, then at the burly boss in front of him, and asked, "Are you Liangliang?"
"Yes, that's me," the shopkeeper said. "Would you like my autograph?"
He looked at Wen Zhen and asked, "What's going on with these people?"
“Similar to me,” Wen Zhen said, then simply grabbed Cen Yu’s arm. “Come here.” He glanced at the two people following behind Cen Yu. “You too.”
Since arriving here and meeting Wen Zhen, Li Chonghe and Chi Jiazhen have not spoken a word.
They were like robots in auto-follow mode, following Cen Yu's every move.
It wasn't until Wen Zhen grabbed Cen Yu's arm that Chi Jiazhen finally reacted... He stared at it for a while, then looked up at the insectoids above and fell silent again.
Fortunately, the area was not large, and Cen Yu and his group arrived at Wen Zhen's home quickly.
Since it was a semi-basement, the environment must not be very good... As soon as Cen Yu entered, he smelled a strong musty smell and a faint scent of Alpha pheromones.
It's probably because Wen Zhen has lived here for too long and inevitably went through a period of high susceptibility. In addition, the poor ventilation here has caused her to pick up some pheromone scent.
It's very faint, but you can still tell it's the taste of alcohol.
"Sit down," Wen Zhen said to Cen Yu after putting down the goods in his hands.
Cen Yu glanced at the cardboard boxes on the ground, the only folding bed, and the only folding chair, unsure of where he should sit.
“Anywhere is fine.” Wen Zhen seemed to understand Cen Yu’s doubts.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket. "Mind?"
“This is your home,” Cen Yu reminded her, “...we have nothing to mind.”
Wen Zhen was just asking casually. He took out a cigarette, lit it with a match, and then casually placed it in the ashtray on the old desk he was leaning against. "How did you get here? Tell me."
Cen Yu kept it brief, recounting their ordeal but omitting the details of the underground laboratory.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhen said, "Then you guys are pretty unlucky, about the same as me."
Cen Yu actually wanted to ask if there was any way to get out of here.
Wen Zhen held a cigarette between his fingers as he leaned against the desk, looking at Cen Yu. "The Second Prince is right here. Are you still worried that the Empire won't come to your rescue?"
Li Chonghe was not surprised that Wen Zhen knew his identity.
“Marshal,” he said, looking at Wen Zhen, “this place is too dangerous, and the Empire may not necessarily take the risk.”
"Doesn't the Federation also avoid taking risks?"
Wen Zhen glanced at Li Chonghe, then nodded. "You can all leave."
"Huh?" Cen Yu pointed to himself.
"It's not you."
"You two get out."
Wen Zhen looked at Li Chonghe and Chi Jiazhen, "You two."
Chi Jiazhen immediately looked at Cen Yu, who then said, "Didn't you hear the Marshal speak? Why aren't you leaving?"
Wen Zhen didn't respond, just stared at the cigarette between his fingers, and waited for Li Chonghe and Chi Jiazhen to leave.
Li Chonghe had many doubts. He was worried that Wen Zhen might have other plans, but he also felt that if Wen Zhen really wanted to deal with them, there was no need to go to such great lengths.
While they were thinking it over, Li Chonghe and Chi Jiazhen left Wen Zhen's semi-basement shack.
Once outside, Chi Jiazhen suddenly said, "I'm going for a walk."
Then, without waiting for Li Chonghe to speak, she walked straight in the opposite direction from Liangliang Nutritional Liquid.
