The Nanzhou region did not want people from other regions to get involved in their affairs, and after several experts turned back, they tactfully expressed their farewell.
They have to deal with their own area behind closed doors.
People from other regions also didn't want to stay in Nanzhou, a place with extreme weather, extreme beliefs, and extreme pollutant levels. After extorting a large sum of money from the Nanzhou region, they decisively left this hellhole.
"Should we go back to East Province, or continue our exchange studies in West Province?"
Lin Mo asked, thinking of his unwritten communication and learning diary.
He also didn't expect that all the preparations he had made in Dongzhou were in vain. He spent a lot of time learning about the customs of Xizhou, but they were of no use. He didn't check in at the famous attractions in Xizhou, and he didn't even take out the list of shopping items that his mother had stuffed in his backpack.
They didn't even stay on Xizhou's land for half an hour.
Chu Zehuai pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Sar:
"I think we should just put it on hold. The current time point is just when the exchange activities are about to end, and the subsequent time has already been arranged."
If we organize another exchange activity again, the subsequent work will have to be postponed, and the time and people will have to be adjusted. It is better to suspend the exchange activity first and do it again when there is time.
...
...
Thrall stretched his body and moved his brown-red wolf ears: "I thought so too. There are still a lot of things to deal with in Xizhou."
The matter of the Infinite Gallery needed to be discussed with the other two Xizhou executives. In addition, an encrypted task was sent to his mobile phone, about which he had not even heard of it in advance.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to continue any exchange activities.
Thrall briefly said goodbye to the people from East Continent, and then led the people from West Continent on another journey.
When passing by Bai Yu, the pair of green eyes with a smile on their faces winked at Bai Yu.
A business card was tucked into Bai Yu's shirt pocket.
"If you change your mind, you can always contact me~"
Bai Yu: ...
He saw that the other party wanted to go to the hospital again.

"Dongzhou! I'm finally back!"
Lin Mo looked at the familiar buildings and people with tears in his eyes. In the past twenty-one years, he had never felt his hometown so familiar.
During these many days, he was first captured by the S+ level pollutant "Infinite Gallery", felt the fear of being slaughtered without clothes, and then was thrown into the Death Desert, where he almost could never get out. Finally, he listened to Captain Li talk about the horrifying religious culture of Nanzhou.
Before he left, he thought this exchange activity would be very exciting.
But I didn’t expect it to be this exciting.
"It wasn't easy, but I'm finally back."
Li Song breathed a sigh of relief, his dark brown eyes reflecting everything in Qinghe City.
"After going to so many places, I still feel that Dongzhou is better."
Bai Yu, who was following behind with a box in his arms, nodded in agreement.
Compared with the other three regions, the climate and temperature in the Dongzhou area are more suitable for the growth of rose plants.
In the box were the things Bai Yu had picked out from Nanzhou, a piece of the corpse of an S-level plant pollutant, and a small piece of meteorite.
The bodies of plant pollutants are used for cooking, and as for meteorites...
When he first saw the meteorite, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. When he actually touched the surface of the meteorite, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
According to the people of Nanzhou, this meteorite landed on the edge of the desert not long ago.
Calculating the time, it was exactly the time when the copy was broken and Bai Yu and the system fell into this world.
[System, do you think this meteorite... is related to the dungeon? I feel like it looks like a fragment of the dungeon space.]
Bai Yu lowered his eyes and poked the system in his mind.
[Not sure, go back and activate it. After all, only the Lord, the main system, and the dungeon boss have the authority to control the dungeon space.]
The system replied.
While the two were talking, the door of the Investigation Bureau was already within reach.
Before they stepped in, they saw a man in black uniform walking out hurriedly, holding a bunch of anesthetics, anti-fall nets, tranquilizers, hypnotic bullets and other things in his hands.
These things are useless against pollutants, but useful to ordinary humans.
"What is this doing?"
Chu Zehuai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
I guess the investigator is going to assist the police in arresting the criminal.
"You're back. I'm going to help Captain Mu deal with a Class D pollutant."
The person who was stopped had a sad face and sighed tiredly.
"For Class D pollutants, do you need to use something like this?"
Li Song recognized the other person's identity, a member of the fifth team, so he became even more curious.
"Mu Yang can't even handle this level of pollutants?"
Then he will have to laugh at the other person for a month.
"Not really. The main reason was that there was a girl who kept holding onto the pollutant and refused to let go. She even said that if the pollutant died, she would jump directly from the 18th floor. The captain couldn't do anything about it."
"I see. That's really hard to do."
Li Song touched his chin, suddenly turned around, put his arm around the man's shoulders and walked away, smiling,
"Then I'll go with you and use my face to your advantage. Maybe I can charm and convince someone."
He has complete confidence in his own charm.
After taking two steps, Li Song came back and pulled Chu Zehuai up.
"What does it have to do with me if you seduce others?" Chu Zehuai stared at the hand that was holding his sleeve.
"What if I don't meet her aesthetic standards? Then I'll have to rely on your looks to save the situation. That's an innocent resident of Qinghe City. Oh, and call Xiaobai. I don't believe there won't be someone who meets her aesthetic standards."
Li Song grabbed Chu Zehuai with one hand and Bai Yu's sleeve with the other, and pulled the two of them out.
After a few seconds, he turned around and looked at Lin Mo who was standing there in a daze. After thinking for a while, he decided to ask him to go with him.
Although Lin Mo's looks couldn't compare to the other three, it was still a bit hurtful to his self-esteem that he openly excluded the director's son.
Lin Mo saw through Li Song's true thoughts:........
I really appreciate your kindness :)
**
A residential area in Qinghe City.
"Nearby residents have been dispersed and the scene has been cordoned off."
“The anti-fall net has been laid.”
"Let the psychiatrist give him some advice."
Several people who had not even entered the door of Qinghe City Investigation Bureau were dragged to the work site again.
In the busy scene, Bai Yu looked up at the familiar name of the community and the residential building: "I came here with Captain Chu before when I was on a mission."
Chu Zehuai looked around: "Really? I don't remember."
He performed too many tasks too frequently, so unless they were special ones, the others would generally not stay in his mind.
"Chicken, courting."
Bai Yu reminded him quietly.
"I remember now."
Chu Zehuai suddenly remembered the brave chicken and the extremely embarrassing scene, and couldn't help coughing a few times to cover up his emotions.
"You don't have to...remind me of this."
He didn't want to recall the time when a chicken courted him as a mate.
Bai Yu said "Oh", but apart from the incident of chickens courting mates, there seemed to be nothing special to remember.
No, it seems that there is no...
"Captain Chu."
"Um?"
Hearing his name, Chu Zehuai turned around again and saw a series of small hearts surrounded by green vines being sent to him. Bai Yu, with curved eyebrows, stood not far away: "Captain Chu, small hearts are for you."
There should be nothing wrong with the reminder method this time.
Then he saw Chu Zehuai turned his head faster as if he was burned by something, and spoke faster:
"Bai Yu, there's no need to remind me again and again. What's past is past. Focus on the present."
Bai Yu retracted the vines and was confused for a moment.
Hiss, men’s minds are really hard to guess.
Lin Mo whispered to Li Song behind him: "I just heard Xiao Bai say something about 'courtship' to my brother, and then he even made a heart shape with his hands. Captain Li, what do you think?"
Li Song covered the other person's mouth: "I'll stand and watch with my eyes."
He didn't want to challenge Chu Zehuai's hearing range with Lin Mo.
A few people went upstairs quietly, passed the black uniforms on guard outside, and arrived at the 18th floor.
A security door that had been forcibly destroyed stood there.
Outside the security door, there was a group of fully armed men in black uniforms, holding various professional processing tools in their hands.
The metal protective gear and the tools in the hands emitted a cold light under the illumination of the corridor lights.
Inside the security door, there is a small home decoration that is a bit messy but also very warm.
The warm-toned wooden floor is decorated with light pink wallpaper with cute cartoon kittens on it. On the desk in the corner there is a vase of freshly cut Roselle roses, and translucent lily of the valley wind chimes hang above, swaying constantly.
A girl who looked to be in her twenties was sitting on the ground, her face covered with huge red marks and tears, holding a cat tightly in her arms.
Half of the cat's body was covered with normal soft orange-white hair, and the other half was rotten flesh, with white bones sticking out from inside. At this moment, it bared its teeth at the investigators outside the security door, its green eyes full of ferocity.
“It’s a bit difficult.”
"Can the pollutants be killed by force?"
"Do you dare to go? I don't dare anyway."
"You're not strong enough to pull the little girl?"
"What if someone gets hurt?"
Several investigators were whispering while holding tools. Bai Yu squeezed into the crowd and just happened to see a familiar figure in the room.
He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
In the previous task, the other party tied a bow on his vine and gave him a card with his name and a love heart on it. When he looked over, the other party ran away shyly.
The people in the room also recognized Bai Yu. Their red eyes lit up for a moment. They looked at him with a hint of pleading, repeating their previous words:
"Xiao Mi is very well behaved. Can you please not kill it? I promise it won't hurt anyone, really..."
Bai Yu sighed.
"Let me go and persuade him."
The young man pushed through the crowd, stepped into the security door under everyone's gaze, and squatted next to the girl.
"do you remember me?"
His body stopped right between the girl and the investigator outside the door, blocking the view of both parties.
Unable to see the group of ferocious people outside the door who might take the cat's life at any time, the girl and the cat pollutant obviously relaxed a little.
"I remember you. I wanted to give you candy, but you gave it back to me."
The girl hugged the cat tightly in her arms, fearing that it would bite her, and said nervously,
"I saw you killed the willow pollutant. Are you here to kill Xiao Mi too?"
"It depends on the situation. Calm down first. It's not a good idea to keep being in a stalemate."
Bai Yu recalled the human interaction skills he had seen.
When talking, light-hearted topics are more likely to make people let down their guard.
His peripheral vision caught sight of the scattered study materials on the ground, and he saw not only the words "Su Zi" but also the words "Qinghe City Investigation Bureau" on them.
"I just saw a lot of study materials in your room. Are you still a student?"
"No, I'm taking the civil service exam. I originally studied accounting and hope to get a stable job in a government agency. The Investigation Bureau is actually a new target agency."
When talking about topics that did not involve Xiao Mi's life or death, Su Zi was obviously more relaxed than before, and her whole body was no longer tense.
Bai Yu nodded to show that he understood.
After the pollution outbreak, the existence of the investigation bureau was announced, and its size expanded several times, and many more civilian positions were added that ordinary people could do.
"I think you will definitely be able to pass the exam. The Investigation Bureau offers good benefits, at least the salary is not bad."
Bai Yu and Su Zi chatted casually, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.
At some point, Chu Zehuai came over and cast a large shadow.
Bai Yu moved in another direction, made room, and looked outside at the same time.
Except for Lin Mo and Li Song, the other investigators disappeared.
"After the cat could no longer see the people outside, its aggression obviously decreased a lot, so I guess it should be able to detect the malicious intentions of the people around it, so it simply let others leave the building first."
Chu Zehuai stretched out his hand and tapped the head of the cat pollutant.
As it turns out, this is indeed the case.
After the group of investigators left, the cat-like contaminant lost its previous ferocity and became just like an ordinary cat, purring in its owner's arms.
"Yes, that's right. Xiao Mi is usually very well behaved and doesn't hurt anyone. She became like this after that group of people came. So...can you keep Xiao Mi?"
Su Zi looked at Chu Zehuai and her voice began to tremble.
“Is this cat important to you?”
Chu Zehuai withdrew his hand and asked.
If the contaminants can be removed, it is best to do so.
"Xiao Mi... is my other half of life. It is my only hope and love in this world."
Su Zi thought of the past, her eyes dimmed, and she pointed to a large red mark on her face.
"When I was little, my mother hated me for not being a boy and often beat me. The marks on my face were caused by her pouring boiling water on me when I was four years old. No one in this world will love me except Xiao Mi."
Xiao Mi was a cat she picked up when she was eighteen years old. The little cat was shivering with cold in the snow. She had cut off ties with her family and left. When she saw the kitten on the road, she couldn't bear it and put the kitten in her worn-out down jacket.
The two guys who had lost their relatives depended on each other for survival.
".....I sometimes think, if Xiao Mi is really gone, there is no meaning for me to exist in this world. If...if you must kill Xiao Mi, can you kill me too?"
Su Zi raised her tearful eyes, and a blurry image of Chu Zehuai was reflected in her eyes. She recognized the other person's identity and sobbed,
“I’ve heard of you. I’m very afraid of pain. Your sword is very fast. Can it be fast enough to let me die painlessly? Wuwuwuwuwuwu——”
Bai Yu took out a tissue and handed it over: "Don't cry, Captain Chu won't kill you."
"The cat is alive and well, but if the cat dies, the person dies too."
Su Zi took the paper with one hand and wiped her tears, while holding Xiao Mi tightly with the other hand, fearing that the two people in front of her would kill Xiao Mi when she was not paying attention.
Looking at this scene, Chu Zehuai sighed deeply.
"If there are no casualties, keep the cat. It's just a Class D contaminant."
Chu Zehuai looked at the man and the cat with bright eyes with a headache, and poured a bucket of cold water on them.
"But cats cannot be kept here right now. After all, they are pollutants. Send them to the Investigation Bureau for observation first. You can go visit them. We will discuss the detailed time schedule later."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm already very happy that Xiao Mi is alive."
Su Zi was so excited that she wanted to spin in circles. After persisting for so long, she finally got a good result.
"This guy can really sense good intentions and bad intentions."
Bai Yu scratched the cat's chin. Since the two of them had no intention of killing Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi was not as vicious as before.
The no longer vicious little Mimi stretched lazily, rubbed the two people beside him affectionately, and made a gentle and hoarse cat cry:
"giao~"
