As requested by Ma Haoyu, Lin Xi led Xiao Er to the vicinity of the bridgehead connecting Wuyou Island to the outside world.
A gentle sea breeze blew, and waves crashed against the rocks again and again.
Ma Haoyu and Xiao Ge stood there, seemingly discussing something. When they approached, Ma Haoyu was still engrossed in his and Xiao Ge's world and didn't even glance back.
"Roar!" The waiter was furious and grabbed the two men by the collar, pulling them towards him.
In his panic, Ma Haoyu finally noticed Lin Xi and Xiao Er, and then calmed down.
"Hey, you two are here so early?"
Xiao Ge's reaction was much calmer than Ma Haoyu's.
"Speak, what's the mission?" Lin Xi asked, hands in her pockets.
"This mission is a bit tricky. It's said to be a high-level zombie that is completely out of control and indiscriminately preys on zombies and humans every day."
When talking about high-level zombies, Ma Haoyu felt a little guilty, and his voice unconsciously became much softer.
What if they back out as soon as they hear that?
Fortunately, Lin Xi did not show any signs of distress.
Ma Haoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, we only met briefly twice before, and I didn't have a chance to properly introduce myself to you." Ma Haoyu smiled and said, "My surname is Ma, and my name is Haoyu. It's not the Yu of the universe, but the Yu of the island. I was born and raised on this island, and I used to be a policeman in a certain district."
Lin Xi said, "Your current job is probably similar to that of a police officer, right?"
Ma Haoyu nodded. "Didn't you see it last time? I'm in charge of arresting lawbreakers who break the rules and fight in private, and maintaining order on Worry-Free Island."
As he spoke, he pointed to Xiao Ge beside him, "She is my apprentice, named Ge Nanhe. You can call her Xiao Ge, just like I do."
Lin Xi nodded and pointed to the second son, "Little Er."
Ma Haoyu was quite shocked. Do people really choose names so casually these days?
He sounds like a menial worker.
Then Lin Xi pointed to himself and introduced himself without changing his expression, "Third brother."
Ma Haoyu was stunned again.
Goodness, so there's another boss up ahead of us?
"Little Er and Third Brother!" Ma Haoyu laughed heartily. Little Er glanced at him without any malice, and he immediately felt the muscles around his throat tighten. He quickly added, "Good names!"
In his heart, he was complaining: "I asked three experts for help, and all three of them have names like this. They're all so casual."
Seeing his master in this state, Xiao Ge was speechless; it was just too embarrassing.
He's supposed to be the captain of the city guard, but look at him, he looks like a waiter.
He quickly changed the subject, "Hasn't Wuming arrived yet?"
They arrived without a name.
The group turned around at the same time. Wuming was still dressed in the same simple outfit: a black hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
A few unruly strands of bangs stuck out from under the brim of the hat.
He walked slowly with his hands in his pockets.
He looked like he was on a sightseeing trip, rather than on a mission.
Ma Haoyu introduced them to each other again before starting to talk about today's task.
"Actually, this zombie shouldn't be under the jurisdiction of our Worry-Free Island's city guard team, but unfortunately, it blocked the middle of this bridge, and several of us who went out of the city were intercepted and killed by it in the middle of the bridge."
"He's not just killing zombies, he's killing people too. At this rate, his next target will probably be the city."
"Just a high-level zombie, and your city guard team doesn't even have enough manpower?" Wuming's words sounded like sarcasm.
But when Lin Xi looked up and looked closely at his expression, she realized that he really did seem to be just asking a question.
"Hey, stop talking. The city guard holds a selection process every three months, which is divided into internal and external selections. Our outstanding talents have already been promoted to the military region."
Lin Xi was startled. "A military region? Right now, we're mostly dealing with internal troubles. Is setting up a military region here to start some kind of war?"
Ma Haoyu shook his head. "I don't know about that, but I do know that people who can be promoted to the military region receive very good treatment, so everyone is desperate to get in."
"Then why don't you go?"
"You just said it yourself, the name sounds like it's going to war. I'm not going to fight. I have a wife and kids to take care of. Being the captain of the city guard is actually quite leisurely."
After Ma Haoyu finished speaking, he called to Xiao Ge, "Let's go."
The air was very quiet in the car, and an awkward atmosphere permeated the surroundings.
Ma Haoyu cleared his throat. "By the way, it seems that the selection process for our Worry-Free Island is about to start again. You can go to the external selection to take a look. This competition is quite fair. Whether you are a human or a zombie, the most capable will advance."
Lin Xi looked out the window and didn't respond. She was very wealthy now and didn't need her fixed salary.
"Hey! Little brother, don't stick your head out of the window." Ma Haoyu could only see an ugly doll with its limbs flying out of the car window through the rearview mirror, so he reminded him.
Xiao Er reluctantly withdrew his head, then turned to look at Lin Xi, his eyes sparkling, "Hooray!"
He loves it here!
Lin Xi smiled.
It's unknown whether they will have the opportunity to settle here in the future.
Suddenly, a familiar car approached from the opposite direction.
Lin Xi frowned. The Wind Eagle Gang had found their way here too?
As the two cars drew closer, Lin Xi saw two familiar faces through the windshield.
Yunhe Jiangchuan.
The back seat is estimated to contain Chen Jin, Lu Nan, and Cheng Sheng.
Surprisingly, a year later, they are still operating as a small team.
She slowly closed the car window.
The car sped past, and Chen Jin's attention was drawn to the slowly rising window. He turned his head to look.
Lu Nan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Chen Jin looked away. "I don't know. The window of that car suddenly rolled up, and I couldn't help but take a look."
Is it someone you know?
Chen Jin shook his head again, "I didn't see anything clearly. But weren't they from Worry-Free Island? Since they're from Worry-Free Island, how could I possibly know them?"
Yun spoke up, "Alright, we're about to land on the island. We don't know what the situation is like here, so everyone should concentrate."
...
In the other car, Lin Xi suddenly spoke up, "Let's go back."
"Huh? You already promised me, how can you go back on your word halfway through?" Ma Haoyu was instantly displeased upon hearing her words.
Lin Xi shook his head. "The high-level zombie you mentioned that was blocking the middle of the bridge should have already left or been killed."
An anonymous commenter noted, "If it were still there, that car wouldn't have been able to get through at all."
"Huh? Yes!" Ma Haoyu stepped on the brakes.
