Chapter 170: The Overlord’s Quotes
After coming out of the Yan family's villa, their identity documents had already been processed and there were special staff waiting outside to give them to them. With free labor delivered to their doorstep, they naturally would not refuse.
When Yan Mo and his friends went to rent a house, the staff who handled the formalities for them seemed very surprised. It seemed that in their eyes, they would definitely live in the Yan family's villa.
The safe base in H City covers a large area. Due to the large population, there are many types of houses built, which are divided into shanty towns where ordinary people live, single rooms and double rooms where lone superpowers live, two-story apartments where superpower teams live together, and villa areas that serve as the base camp for the superpower teams.
They couldn't stay in H City for that long, so renting a two-story apartment for a moderate period of time was just right for them. They had enough crystal cores to pay the rent.
A two-story apartment in the H City Security Base
"Brother Mo, did you see anything from Yan Que's performance today?"
"Not yet. The old fox hasn't revealed any flaws. However, the more he tries to cover it up, the more it proves that he has something to hide. His purpose in sending us to H City is not simple. It seems that he has something big in mind."
Yan Mo put away the things in his hands as he spoke. They had just moved in and were cleaning the bathroom to check if there was anything installed in the room that shouldn't be there.
On the other side, the Yan family
"You should have received the news. Yan Mo has arrived in H City today. Behave yourself recently and don't act rashly in front of him. If I find out who said something wrong and ruined my good fortune, you will no longer be a member of the Yan family."
Yan Que looked at the grown-up children he had called back in front of him, and his tone was colder than ever before.
Don’t be a member of the Yan family = be a ghost of the Yan family.
The older children understood what their father meant and nodded in unison without hesitation, indicating that they were very obedient.
Seeing that the older children were relatively well-behaved, Yan Que's expression improved a lot and he waved his hand to let them go.
"Master, do we really want to do this?"
The man in black who stood behind Yan Que during the day appeared silently and asked the confused question in his mind after struggling for a long time.
"We must do this. Keeping him here will only be the biggest threat to us. It is better to let him make his final contribution to the Yan family. It will not be in vain that the Yan family has trained him for so many years. They have found a place to live, right? The rest of the things will proceed according to the plan."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the man in black quietly disappeared.
Shuxin and his friends spent three days of leisurely life in the base. They wandered around the base every day as if they were visiting a tourist attraction. They would eat on time when it was time for lunch, go back for lunch after lunch, and then go out to continue wandering in the afternoon.
The spies who were secretly following them became jealous when they saw how leisurely and comfortable their lives were.
Some people can go shopping and eat every day, while others are working hard. The gap between people is too big!
"Phew~ It's so comfortable~ I've been living a really leisurely life these past few days. It feels like I haven't enjoyed life like this for a long time."
I lay comfortably on the lazy sofa. On the small tea table beside me was a plate of fresh cream strawberries just picked from the space. I ate one by one and drank a sip of slightly bitter tea from time to time. It was so comfortable.
Others also had their favorite fruits at hand, and several people sat around a red-hot iron stove, enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea time.
It was snowing outside when I woke up from my lunch break today. In the apocalypse, no matter whether it is raining or snowing, people will choose to avoid going out. Even if they have to go out, they will be fully armed to ensure that no skin is exposed.
The reason for doing this is that people have found that if the skin exposed to the outside is exposed to rain or snow and is not washed with clean water in time, it will gradually corrode and rot.
After the water source was polluted, clean water became extremely precious. Ordinary people did not even have enough water to drink, so how could they be willing to use clean water to wash their skin? Later, everyone chose not to go out on rainy and snowy days.
"On the surface, everything seems calm, but underneath, there are undercurrents and strange things going on."
Yan Mo picked up the fire tongs next to the stove and turned the sweet potatoes in the stove. The flames in the stove flickered up and down.
"In the past three days, at least five different forces have sent people to follow us. Two forces followed us for two days and stopped on the third day. I guess they were simply curious about us. The remaining three forces followed us relentlessly from morning to night every day, and their purpose is unknown."
Makimai, whose name was called, spoke out what he had observed over the past few days.
"!!!"
"So many people are following us? One of them must be sent by Yan Que, right? Where did the other two groups come from? We have just arrived in H City not long ago, how come so many people noticed us?"
Shuxin swallowed the strawberry in her mouth, then used three fingers to press down one.
"I guess one of them is officially sent by the H City base." A gleam of light flashed across Bu Yuanzhou's eyes.
"Yes, Yuanzhou is right. One of them is from the official base. Yan Que's power and the official power are almost evenly matched in the base. On the surface, I brought you into the base under the identity of Yan's family. If we choose to join Yan Que's power, then the balance will be broken and the official power will be suppressed."
"Since we are not staying at the Yan family, they probably guessed that Yan Que and I don't have a good relationship, so they chose to observe us to see if it is true. If it is true, they will choose to pull us back or persuade us to remain neutral."
Seeing the confusion on Shuxin's face, Yan Mo carefully analyzed the current situation in H City to her.
"Oh, so that's how it is. What about the last group of people left? Where do they belong to?"
After Yan Mo's explanation, Shu Xin suddenly understood, and then remembered that the identities of the last group of people had not been revealed, so she asked hurriedly.
"The last group of people are even more interesting. I used my mental power to detect their conversations. They were very careful when speaking outside. They used code words that only they could understand. They were also dressed the most concealed among the group. It felt like they were afraid of being recognized by others."
When talking about the last group of people, Yan Mo's mouth curled up into an interested smile.
Shu Xin: I know this expression. To put it in the words of a domineering boss, it means: Very good woman, you have successfully caught my attention.
"Why do I feel more and more shameful the more I listen? Could it be some underground organization that wants to capture us and study us?" Xiangwen touched his arm exaggeratedly.
