Lin Zhenzhen quietly slipped into Xing Mengman's room.
Having taken allergy medication, Xing Mengman slept like a log, completely unaware of her arrival.
Lin Zhenzhen walked around to Xing Mengman's bedside, aimed at her skirt, and suddenly exerted force.
With a ripping sound, Xing Mengman's skirt was completely torn off.
Just as she was about to leave, Lin Zhenzhen saw the wallet on the table again.
So she took the wallet and the hem of the skirt without any hesitation.
She returned to 17 Grey Pigeon and threw her clothes downstairs.
[You're trying to mislead people. If the security department sees this dress, they'll think that Xing Mengman was the one who made Gu Bosheng lose control tonight!]
That's right, you silly pig.
Although the security department eventually has its own means to conduct further investigation and verification, that will be several days later.
If nothing unexpected happens, she should have already left the city by then.
Lin Zhenzhen took one last deep look at the third-floor window before turning and disappearing into the night.
-------------------------------------
The largest underground black market in the Eastern Theater Command.
Lin Zhenzhen stood in front of a counter and said in a low voice, "I need an identity."
The man at the counter looked up at her.
Lin Zhenzhen deliberately lowered her voice, making it sound like a little boy going through puberty.
She wore a tattered headscarf, and her face was covered in soot; she looked like a slave who had escaped from somewhere.
The man was unfazed by this. He tossed out a price list and pointed at it expressionlessly: "80 crystal cores, clearly marked, fair and square."
Lin Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment: "I'd like to go out of the city again. Can we get a discounted price for a package deal?"
The man immediately took back the price list and looked her up and down with an expression that said, "You've lost your mind."
"I can't leave the city. With such strict controls in each war zone, leaving the city without permission is a death sentence."
Lin Zhenzhen said "Oh," and took out her dirty 80 crystal cores: "Then give me an identity."
Looking at the crystal core stained with unknown dirt, the man sighed.
"Why did you have to leave the city? People outside are desperate to get into our Eastern Theater Command. At least there are no zombies here, so you won't lose your life."
“I need to go find someone,” Lin Zhenzhen added. “Someone very important.”
"Are they your parents? Or your siblings? Do you really have to go find them?"
Lin Zhenzhen remained silent, her tone cold and unyielding.
"Fine, I admit I was being nosy." The man didn't argue with her. "Look at my camera."
Lin Zhenzhen pulled off her headscarf and gave the camera a fake smile.
The man glanced at her but said nothing.
He slipped behind the curtain and soon produced an identity card for her: "This is your new identity."
"Also, if you want to leave the city, you can try the underground bars, but I must warn you, they're not so easy to get into."
The man looked up and saw that Lin Zhenzhen was still staring at him with a blank expression, so he shook his head helplessly.
He had already made himself clear; if the person still didn't understand, there was nothing he could do.
What the man didn't know was that Lin Zhenzhen wasn't actually looking at him.
Her gaze was fixed on the glass behind him.
The foggy glass reflected the figures of people coming and going. Among them was a person who was lying behind a pillar, craning his neck to look in their direction.
"I see."
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head, clutched her pocket tightly, and walked out.
She hadn't taken two steps when someone called out to her.
"Hey, young man, wait a minute."
Lin Zhenzhen suppressed the upward curve of her lips, put on an impatient expression, and turned to look at the person behind her.
This is a tall, thin man.
His eyes were sunken, his face was pale, and he walked unsteadily, like a skeleton that might fall apart at any moment.
"You're going to a bar, right?"
Lin Zhenzhen gave him a cold glare: "What's it to you?"
The man grabbed her and said urgently, "I can take you in. Ordinary people can't get into the underground bar; only highly qualified bounty hunters and mercenaries can get a pass."
Lin Zhenzhen seemed completely unaware of this, looking at him suspiciously: "Are you telling the truth?"
The man was secretly delighted and quickly said, "Of course it's true. Everyone knows about it. Go ahead and ask around."
Lin Zhenzhen frowned: "Then how are you going to get me in?"
“I’m an employee here!” The man pulled an employee ID card out of his pocket. “With this, you can swipe your card and go in through the employee entrance.”
The man kept sniffing as he spoke, indicating that he was experiencing drug withdrawal.
Lin Zhenzhen pretended not to understand and continued to ask, "What kind of reward do you want for taking me in?"
"100 crystal cores, no, 500 crystal cores!"
"Are you crazy! 500 crystal cores, why don't you just rob me!" Lin Zhenzhen pretended to leave.
The man couldn't hold back any longer. He squatted down and shouted at Lin Zhenzhen, "This is money I earned with my life. If the boss finds out I brought people in, he'll kill me."
Lin Zhenzhen thought that was about enough, so she stopped in her tracks.
She turned around: "300 crystal cores, that's all the money I have."
"make a deal!"
Lin Zhenzhen gave him only 100 crystal cores as a deposit, citing that she did not have that much money on her.
The man who received the money immediately rushed into a dark little house next door. After an unknown amount of time, he finally stumbled out.
After his needs were met, his mental state seemed to improve significantly.
Lin Zhenzhen straightened up: "When are you taking me to a bar?"
The man chuckled, "You still haven't given me 200 crystal cores. Come on, I'll go with you to get the money."
“Okay.” Lin Zhenzhen led the way, and the man followed behind, his eyes filled with greed.
Lin Zhenzhen led him to a secluded alley.
"Wait for me here."
"no problem."
A moment later, Lin Zhenzhen came downstairs, carrying a heavy money bag in her hand.
"You have to take me in first before I can give it to you."
With no one around, the man immediately revealed his fierce side.
He pressed the gun against Lin Zhenzhen's waist: "Give me the money!"
She did not move.
The man repeated, "If you want your life back, you'd better hand over the money to me obediently!"
Lin Zhenzhen chuckled lightly: "Then you brought it on yourself."
She lifted the purse, and at the same time, sharp claws extended from between her fingernails, swiftly and ruthlessly sweeping across his neck.
Before the man could even hear what the person in front of him was saying, he felt a chill on his neck and instinctively wanted to pull the trigger.
Looking down, he saw no sign of the gun in his hand.
Lin Zhenzhen raised her right hand, aimed at his head, and swiftly and decisively struck him.
"Bang".
The gunshot only startled a few birds perched on the eaves.
Lin Zhenzhen picked up the blood-stained employee badge with two fingers, turned around and walked towards the underground bar.
