The filthy sewers...
Chu Xinxin nudged Si Beiting: "You go."
Si Beiting turned around pitifully: "Baby..."
Chu Xinxin gave him a quick kiss: "Are you going or not?"
"go!"
Woof!
Si Beiting pried open the manhole cover, and to his surprise, the area underneath was dry and clean.
They exchanged a glance, and Si Beiting's smile faded: "Baby, I'll go downstairs and take a look. I'll be back in about ten minutes."
"careful."
"Um."
After jumping down, Si Beiting quickly closed the manhole cover.
[Don't worry, Sister, Director Yu isn't downstairs.]
The system abruptly changed the subject: "The guards who were looking for you are almost here."
......
"Could they have gone into that villa?"
"Possibly, go in and search."
The guards broke down the door, and a cloud of dust rushed in.
"Cough cough, no one has lived here for almost a year. Come on, come on, my rhinitis is about to flare up."
The guard made a quick round and had just stepped back when he caught a glimpse of a floral dress flashing past the door.
"Chase!"
The hem of the floral dress always manages to catch up with them just when they're about to lose track of her.
Just then, a pedestrian on a motorcycle walked by, and the guard immediately showed his identification: "Requisitioned!"
Then, without saying a word, he snatched it and sped away.
The motorcycle engine roared loudly, the guard's adrenaline surged, and the floral dress drew ever closer.
"stop!"
The floral dress disappeared around the corner once again, but the motorcycle followed closely behind, rushing out of the alley and onto the main street.
"Let's see where you think you can run now..."
Central Street was filled with young women wearing floral dresses.
The guards glanced at it, their eyes dazzled.
Was that person wearing a red flower or a green flower?
"Blue flowers interspersed with green and yellow flowers?"
"Depend on!"
......
Chu Xinxin watched the two guards walk away from the shadows. When she turned around, she saw an old man with a full head of white hair standing behind her, his cloudy eyes staring intently at her.
Chu Xinxin recognized the old man; he was Director Yu.
"Professor Chu," Director Yu removed his hat and gave Chu Xinxin a gentlemanly bow, "Would it be convenient for us to talk?"
The streets outside were guarded everywhere. The two people being searched stood in a corner where the sun didn't reach them, silently staring at each other.
"Can."
Chu Xinxin walked towards Director Yu.
One step, two steps, three steps... The moment Chu Xinxin stepped into Director Yu's attack range, a dagger appeared at her neck.
"Professor Chu, I apologize."
Director Yu had somehow appeared behind Chu Xinxin, his sticky, wet voice like a venomous snake.
"Professor Yu, are you alright? Your hands are shaking..."
Chu Xinxin reached out to push the dagger out a little, but Director Yu pressed it in hard: "Don't move! Move forward."
There was an open door in front of us.
Chu Xinxin slowly walked in, and the door was slammed shut and locked with a "bang".
Just as she was about to turn around, her foot suddenly slipped and she fell straight down.
With a click, before Chu Xinxin could react, she triggered some kind of mechanism and was locked in a cage.
Director Yu then jumped down.
"What exactly do you want?" Chu Xinxin gripped the iron bars of the cage and glared angrily at Director Yu.
Director Yu answered irrelevantly: "Si Beiting is back, isn't he?"
Chu Xinxin: "Yes, right behind you."
Director Yu froze, slowly turned around, and found no one behind him.
"Professor Chu is quite the joker."
Director Yu's cloudy eyes turned deep. He slowly walked to the corner, picked up the plug on the ground, and plugged it into the socket. Electricity instantly spread throughout the entire cage.
Chu Xinxin's hand was injured by the electric shock.
"Professor Chu, I don't want to hurt you either. Once I get what I want from Si Beiting, I'll let you go."
Director Yu smiled and said, "Until then, I'll have to trouble you to make do with a little time."
After saying that, he climbed down the ladder and went out.
Sister, is your hand alright?
Chu Xinxin lowered her head. The wound was healing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, her hand was completely restored.
"I applied some medicine for you, sister. Why did you follow him in?"
Director Yu has no special abilities and is no match for Chu Xinxin.
"I want to see what he's really up to."
Director Yu has gone out; he's probably going to find Si Beiting.
"Could you help me send him a message using the AI?"
Director Yu took Chu Xinxin's AI device.
What should I send?
"Accompany Director Yu for a scene."
......
The sewer system near the villa is a long, straight line with no branching paths.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Si Beiting came across a wall. He knocked on the wall, but it was hollow.
But after checking the time, he worried that Chu Xinxin might be getting impatient, so he went back first.
Unexpectedly, when he emerged from the sewers, Chu Xinxin was nowhere to be found. Instead, the city lord, accompanied by a group of personal guards, surrounded him with cannon fire.
"General, it's been a long time."
The city lord stood within the circle of his personal guards, still maintaining his dignified yet benevolent demeanor.
Si Beiting jumped out of the sewer as if nothing had happened: "Does the city lord rely solely on this...?"
He pointed to the surrounding artillery fire and continued, "You think you can keep me here?"
The city lord shook his head: "Of course not. Only a beauty like Professor Chu could make a hero fall at her feet."
Si Beiting's face darkened: "City Lord, you had Lieutenant General Jack blow me into a zombie crater, and I didn't even hold it against you..."
Flames danced in his palms: "I hope you won't test my limits."
"Professor Chu is a treasure to the entire base and even to all of humanity. I will not let her get hurt. I just want the general to come with me."
The two faced each other from a distance.
Perhaps it was because Si Beiting's green eyes were too dazzling that the city lord looked away first.
He instructed the man next to him, "Jack, go and help the general put it on."
Two pairs of specially made shackles were brought over.
Jack knew what it was; it was what he had with him when he was injected with the drug that rendered him immobile.
The shackles are made of the hardest known material in the world, and even the most powerful superhumans would find them difficult to break.
Moreover, the inside is equipped with needles, through which inhibitors specifically targeting zombies are injected into the zombie's body, making it impossible for even the most advanced zombies to resist.
The two shackles were placed on Jack's knees.
Jack pressed the switch on the wheelchair and walked towards Si Beiting.
"General, I hope you can consider Professor Chu's safety."
"mean!"
Say what you want.
Jack successfully put shackles on Si Beiting's hands and feet.
Taking advantage of this moment, Jack silently conveyed a message to Si Beiting: "Chu Xinxin is not in the city lord's hands."
Si Beiting was stunned: "Damn, you only told me after you finished wearing it, were you doing it on purpose?!"
