So, what's the good news?
The bad news is that they've run out of food, and that part of the area has been taken over by people infected with Cybervirus. But the good news can't be any worse, right?
Yin Zhu looked expectantly at Fei Yu's next answer.
However, Flying Fish kept everyone in suspense, simply finding a chair, wiping off the dust, and then plopping down on it.
Having whetted the appetites of the Chosen Ones, he then looked at everyone and said quietly, "The good news is that, according to the information from Xiong Da's side, the cyber disease infected are not as aggressive as they were at the beginning."
"Not as strong anymore?"
Yin Zhu didn't quite understand what this meant. Did the virus have been diluted, so they didn't want to attack anymore, or were all the infected people dead?
Feiyu recalled what he had heard from the other end of the message and offered a further explanation: "That's right, the message was sent to me by Xiong Da and the others before they moved into the lower-level citizen service center. It seems that because the concentration of infected people in the inner city is too high, they are misjudging people in the inner city as their own kind."
"Can I talk to him for a bit?"
“I’m afraid not, he’s already hung up. Besides, their every move is probably being monitored now,” Fei Yu said. “I think we can go to the lower-level citizen service center for a few days first, and if we really can’t find a place, we can come to my house to hide.”
"What about Jiaojiao?" Yin Zhu still remembered the girl with rabbit ears.
"Bear didn't say anything, so it should be fine."
For members of their resistance organization, no news is often good news, indicating that what happened is not worth mentioning.
Seizing the opportunity, Yin Zhu asked the question that had been bothering her: "What mission did they go on?"
"I'm sorry, this is internal information from our organization."
Flying Fish politely declined.
However, he didn't make any absolute statements: "If you really want to know, you can swear an oath before the God of Oaths—to be forever loyal to the resistance organization, and then I can share information with you."
"Huh?" Yin Zhu looked puzzled, hardly believing her ears. "Isn't the God of Oaths a god?"
"Yes, but it's different."
Xiaoqiang showed his dislike for Yin Zhu's question and quickly tried to salvage his image as the God of Oaths.
What's different?
Aren't they all gods?
Yin Zhu may have been thinking to herself, but she wasn't so stupid as to start a big argument with her teammates on the spot.
“Anyway, I’m going to try my luck at the service center. Don’t forget, my mission is to investigate the situation of the senior citizens.” Flying Fish raised his shoulder towards the worm. “The worm has already prepared my identity. As long as we don’t clash with the Cybervirus infected, we’ll be fine.”
The natives are not NPCs; they are humans who once lived in this world. Of course, some are intelligent, some are foolish, and some are conventional.
Each of them has self-awareness, so they will have slightly different ideas.
Just right, Flying Fish is a very intelligent native. He has a very proactive attitude and will prepare thoroughly in all aspects before doing anything.
Since the indigenous people were all ready, Yin Zhu was tempted.
I almost forgot.
Immediately, Yin Zhu looked at Hirano Shan.
No matter how eloquently others try to explain things, Yin Zhu always has Hirano Sane as a reliable "lie detector." Due to the limitations of the group instance, Hirano Sane cannot act too freely, but this does not prevent her from knowing how to achieve a perfect ending.
Under Yin Zhu's gaze, Hirano Shan nodded slightly.
That's what acceptance means.
Since Hirano Sane had already given her verdict, Yin Zhu replied with a smile, "I'm also planning to go there; there's too little food here."
The reason is reasonable and consistent with the character's persona.
Flying Fish didn't think too much about the question, but simply looked at the others: "Ladies, what do you think?"
“I’ll listen to Zhu,” Hirano San said.
“Then I’ll go too…” Jennifer didn’t expect the other two chosen ones to make their decision so quickly. The three natives also seemed to be preparing to go. She was the only one left, and she couldn’t stay here alone.
"Then it's decided. Once the worm has set up everyone's identities, we'll go together."
Flying Fish sealed the deal with a single blow.
Their original plan was to have the resistance group storm the inner city, causing the senior citizens to close it down voluntarily. They would then hide at the former site of the Flying Fish family, using it as their main base to explore the situation in the inner city, and leave once the lockdown was lifted.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. Before the resistance could even begin, the inner city was hit by Cyber Disease, an outbreak that occurs only once every ten years or so.
This period, if you didn't know better, would look like an economic crisis.
Yin Zhu only internally complained, after all, cyber disease and economic crisis are completely different things, they are just similar in periodicity, and cannot be confused.
Now that she had decided to go to the service center, Yin Zhu felt it was necessary to understand the current situation.
Xiaoqiang found a damaged drone and, after some repairs using his toolbox, managed to get it barely usable. The team planned to use it to fly to the vicinity of the service center to assess the situation of infected individuals clustered in the inner city.
However, the drone crashed suddenly just after leaving the safe zone created by the worm.
"Huh?" Yin Zhu stared at the monitor screen, which had turned into static, completely bewildered. "Did Xiao Qiang fail to fix it properly?"
“No… it must be because this aircraft is too old and not registered in the inner city, so Eve identified it as an unidentified flying object and shot it down.” Flying Fish couldn’t help but scratch his head. “It’s been too long since we left the inner city, I’ve forgotten about it.”
"This is also against the rules?"
"Of course it's against the rules, it's even against the rules of the outer districts."
Hearing Feiyu's answer, Yin Zhu suddenly realized that there was a rule in the outer city that she had found somewhat puzzling at the time:
9. Do not access unapproved technologies.
Because all technological products in the inner city are recorded by Eve, any aircraft that is not on the register is considered "unapproved technology." This rule directly locks down the technology of lower-level citizens, preventing them from conducting unauthorized scientific research and threatening the safety of higher-level citizens.
The inner city is equipped with cutting-edge technology and weaponry, leaving the resistance organization utterly powerless to fight back. They can only passively endure the attacks and occasionally engage in trivial, insignificant actions.
If the "God of Oaths" truly exists, and is also a Class A citizen of the inner city...
Yin Zhu lowered her head to avoid making the sympathy in her eyes too obvious: probably all the actions of the resistance organization were under the watchful eyes of the gods, and even their existence was tacitly approved by the gods. In this way, by creating a target for the people and forcibly creating an opposition, others could be made to believe in the gods more.
