Chapter 46. The posts on the forum are still being written in a similar style...
A light drizzle was falling, making visibility extremely poor.
While flying through the air, Shan Ran had to be careful to avoid the fog, as the fog in the darkness was really hard to discern. After flying for a long time, she finally arrived at a place that looked relatively safe before she was exhausted.
This place is far from the landfill; it's an abandoned school.
As Kunwu Yecheng fell, he became somewhat exhausted and plummeted downwards in the last few meters.
Upon landing, Kunwu Yecheng teleported in mid-air to Shanran's side, switching places with her so that she would fall onto him.
Shanran folded her wings and lay in the man's strong embrace, panting heavily.
It took her a while to catch her breath, but she didn't even have the strength to lift her arm.
Kunwu Yecheng helped the girl stand up.
The two were standing on the rooftop of a school building. Dark clouds obscured the moon, and rain continued to fall, soaking them both.
Kunwu Yecheng carried Shanran forward with one arm, leading her into the room.
The two stood at the corner of the stairs inside the rooftop, not in a hurry to go down.
Shan Ran had torn her dress before she escaped; to wear that dress, she was only wearing a tight-fitting tank top and shorts underneath.
Kunwu took out a set of clean clothes from the space.
After Shan Ran tremblingly accepted it, the man turned around.
He stared intently at the stains on the wall in the darkness, hearing rustling sounds in his ears.
After a long while, I heard a voice from behind say, "It's done."
Kunwu Yecheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, saw the girl's wet hair, took out a towel from his space, and started to wipe her hair with his hands.
Shan Ran felt weak and sore all over, but she was happy to let others worry about her.
"Aren't you going to change your clothes?"
Kunwu Yecheng was still wearing his suit, but all the buttons on his shirt had popped off. He rarely wore such a formal suit, and now, looking slightly disheveled, he exuded a rebellious and unruly air, making him appear less somber.
He stripped off all his clothes, revealing a pair of tight combat shorts underneath, and then took out another pair of pants from his spatial storage.
I only realized something was wrong when I was about to put it on.
I usually spend all my time with men, and when I'm on missions in the wild, I don't really care about clothes, so I just do this casually.
But it was too late to get the girl to turn around now, so he simply didn't say anything.
Shan Ran witnessed the whole process from the side, her eyes uncontrollably darting back and forth below.
It's quite... big.
The posts on the forum were still written with restraint.
I just don't know what it will look like when it's standing up.
"I'm all better now."
Upon hearing the man's voice, Shan Ran snapped out of her daze, quickly averted her gaze, and turned her head away to hide her embarrassment.
"Okay, let's go down."
Shanran is not planning to contact Zack for the time being. She is completely lost right now and does not understand the scope of Sam's digital information ability. It would be risky to contact him rashly.
Digital information-related abilities are not very helpful on the front lines, but they are a great asset as a support in normal times.
The global network remains unobstructed, thanks not only to its unique network system but also to the significant assistance provided by data and information superhumans in each continent and region.
They cooperated with the network system to ensure smooth operation.
Within a certain range, it can also monitor cameras, computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
However, this requires an extremely large amount of supernatural energy, and can only be done at a very high level, because it requires finding the target from billions of devices, which consumes a lot of supernatural energy.
The superhumans on Sam's side mainly cut off Shan Ran and others' communication with the outside world and diverted the calls.
The Zack in the latter two videos was probably the fake Lin Mo in disguise.
Those people knew Zack very well, which is why they were able to imitate him so perfectly that Sofia didn't even recognize him.
"I couldn't ask you about it this afternoon over by the railing," Kunwu Yecheng said, rubbing his fingers together again as he recalled the cuddling and embracing scene over there. "Even Sophia didn't know that the person on the other side, Zack, was a fake. How did you figure it out?"
"Zack is a smooth-talking, worldly-wise guy. He's a different person to everyone, and he treats his subordinates and others differently. That's his way of managing people."
I went into Sofia's room that afternoon. The fake Zack across from me hadn't realized what was happening yet, and he spoke to me using the same tone and address he used for Sofia. That's when I realized we'd fallen into a trap.
As she spoke, Shan Ran frowned slightly, "My sudden appearance caught them somewhat off guard, which caused some mistakes. But I didn't expect them to be so well-prepared to deal with Sophia's team."
Kunwu Yecheng's expression was solemn. "The weapons outside are unique to the First Continent."
The two exchanged a glance. "So this matter is related to the people of the First Continent, and the people who can transport this batch of weapons must be of high status."
The two analyzed the situation as they walked down.
This is an elementary school, and textbooks that haven't been packed away yet are scattered messily in the abandoned classrooms.
During the banquet, Shan Ran's Mo Dao was also stored at Kunwu Yecheng's place, which made her sigh once again at the convenience and advantages of space.
The two men walked down the corridor, each holding a weapon and warily looking around.
There was hardly any moonlight tonight, making the dimly lit abandoned school seem even more eerie.
The wind howled as it blew in through the broken glass, scattering scraps of paper throughout the room.
Suddenly, the two of them stopped at the same time.
I could faintly hear crying coming from ahead.
Shan Ran turned her head to look at Kunwu Yecheng, didn't say anything, and raised her eyebrows: Is it a baby kitten?
Kunwu Yecheng frowned and answered her in the same way as Shanran: No, this is not the cry of a baby.
Just as they were about to take a few steps forward to find the source of the sound, they heard a scraping sound behind them.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw a white humanoid object flash past behind them.
Kunwu Yecheng instinctively wanted to dash after her, but then he remembered that Shanran was still there and stopped abruptly.
Now that it's just the two of them, they absolutely cannot split up.
Shanran realized this as well, and when faced with the choice between going ahead or chasing after those behind, she chose to go ahead.
Kunwu Yecheng is now a very qualified teammate. After understanding Shanran's meaning, the two of them quickly ran forward.
Something came rushing from behind, and the two dodged to the side.
An arrow pierced between the two men and landed in the darkness ahead.
Shan Ran and the man beside her exchanged a glance.
Sure enough, the things behind them didn't want them to move forward.
But they insisted on going.
Arrows came flying from behind, but Shan Ran and the other person dodged them all with ease. They arrived at the classroom where the sound came from in just three seconds.
As soon as they pushed open the door, something rushed out and attacked the two of them.
Kunwu Yecheng stood in front, stopping the opponent's movement with a single hand.
Shan Ran's night vision was clear; opposite him was a teenage boy, and in his hand was... a mop.
Kunwu Yecheng's eyesight wasn't very good, but he could still tell what was in his hands by touch.
He took out a flashlight and shone it ahead.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps running down the corridor towards the two of them.
"Let him go!"
"Don't hurt him!"
"Get away from me!"
A group of people rushed over while shouting.
Kunwu Yecheng moved the desks in the classroom to the front, blocking the way for the group.
"Let go of Ah Yang, don't hurt him or the people inside. If you want to stay here, then we'll leave."
When the group saw the desk that had appeared out of thin air, they knew they were no match for the tall man opposite them, so they immediately feigned weakness in hopes of saving their lives.
Shan Ran had already recognized these people.
They were a few kids who stole cigarettes from Sofia's team members downstairs in a residential building when they first entered District 5.
Although several of them are adults, they are so small that they look like minors, so we simply call them children.
The one called A-Yang is the boy who was slapped a few times by Zhan Hongbo.
He slowly released the mop, and the man opposite him also let go, the mop falling to the ground with a "thud".
Ah Yang's expression was stubborn and unwilling. He glared at the person behind the flashlight but didn't say a word.
"You don't need to leave. We're just passing through and won't stay long."
The voice sounded familiar. Ah Yang turned his head in confusion, but couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
A group of people walked past the desks in the corridor. The child in the lead stared at the two of them for a few moments as he passed by.
"You are... the sister from the car that day?"
The person asking the question was the one who had been watching Shan Ran from the third-floor window. Judging from the voice, it was actually a girl, but because of her sloppy clothes, messy hair, and thin body, she was mistaken for a little boy.
A-Yang was puzzled, so he cautiously stepped forward to take a closer look, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the uncle who was carrying An-An and Meng-Meng with one hand?"
Kunwu Yecheng: ? ? ? ? She's the older sister and I'm the uncle?
"Yes, you don't need to be afraid. We won't take over this place. We'll just rest for one night and then leave."
Before A-Yang could say anything, the crying inside the classroom grew louder, and he quickly turned around and ran inside.
Kunwu Yecheng followed with his flashlight and saw a makeshift bed made of two mattresses pushed together in the corner of the classroom, with three children under ten years old lying on it.
When Ah Yang came over, one of the little girls cried uncontrollably, looking at him with teary eyes and opening her little arms for a hug.
"Sweetie, brother will give you candy, don't cry."
As he spoke, he took a fruit candy out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and fed it to the little girl.
"Ah-yang gaga, chubby girl is hungry..." The little girl spoke a little unclearly, her mouth full of candy.
The other two children, hearing this, crawled over, looking longingly at A-Yang, and whispered, "I'm hungry too..."
Ah Yang immediately put on a stern face, "Didn't we just have dinner? It's only a few o'clock. If you eat now, you'll have to skip a meal tomorrow."
The chubby girl pouted, looking like she was about to cry again.
Kunwu Yecheng took out a few loaves of bread from his spatial storage and threw them over.
The group stared in disbelief at the tall man; food was so precious these days, yet he had given it to them so easily.
"Eat up, consider it payment for your accommodation."
After saying that, he took Shanran's hand and headed outside to find a suitable place to rest.
