Just abandon the suburbs.

Fu Tianhe came up with an idea. He could go find matchsticks. In the wilderness near the seaside, no one would have thought that he actually lived with many scavengers.

Fu Tianhe hurriedly sent a message to Jiuyue, briefly explaining the current situation, and then took the public rail to the central elevator.

Donald has a lot of connections in the ecological tank, but he is not yet able to rule the entire Cinnabar Underground City, not to mention that Shafley helped Chen Ci clean up the mess and gave him a good beating before.

Fu Tianhe was very nervous. He wore a duckbill cap and covered his face tightly with a mask. He held Da Congming tightly in his arms and covered him with his coat.

From a distance, she looked like a pregnant woman with a big belly sitting in the seat.

Fortunately, no one from Donald's group was searching on the way to the central elevator.

Fu Tianhe reached the central elevator smoothly, and then chose the deepest place that ordinary residents could go down to, the CPU side room.

Fu Tianhe came back here after two months and saw the familiar scene. He was quite emotional. The last time he traveled with Jiu Yue, he had a deeper understanding of the boy.

He was so mysterious, like a silver lamp shining in the mist, attracting him uncontrollably to keep getting closer, or like the moon hanging high above his head, cold and bright, yet forever untouchable.

Arriving at the CPU side room, Fu Tianhe simply bought some personal belongings in the commercial street. He turned on the terminal and saw the red dot that had been set up before, which was the location of the Laer camp.

This time he couldn't borrow a motorcycle like he did before, but since he was alone, it wouldn't take him long to walk.

It was afternoon and the sun was scorching. Fu Tianhe successfully took the bus to the nearest stop in the abandoned suburbs. He looked at the ruins all over the place, shouted "Charge!", and started walking.

Da Congming is indeed a hunting dog. He has been well fed and well fed during this period, and has been kept strong and healthy. He has been following Fu Tianhe's footsteps closely. Even so, after walking for nearly three hours without stopping, he also got tired.

So Fu Tianhe held it in his arms and continued walking forward.

After walking for more than four hours, Fu Tianhe finally arrived at his destination.

Seeing Lar's camp from a distance, he was shocked and started to speed up. He actually still had the strength to speed up.

The sun was setting and night was approaching. Scavengers kept coming back to the camp from all directions. Fu Tianhe bumped into a middle-aged man. He raised his hand, a little out of breath, but greeted him enthusiastically: "Hi!"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened. He looked at Fu Tianhe from head to toe three or four times before he stammered in surprise: "You, you are——"

Fu Tianhe smiled and said, "Do you still remember me?"

"You are my benefactor!" The scavenger shouted excitedly. How could he not remember what Fu Tianhe looked like? They were trapped in the corner of an empty room by Mom's men, and each of them was severely beaten. If it weren't for the Alpha in front of them who came to their rescue, they would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish by Mom.

"Where's the other benefactor?" The scavenger looked around, and Fu Tianhe pretended to be relaxed and said, "He had something to do, so I came here by myself."

"Did the benefactor come all the way here?" The scavenger looked at the beagle in Fu Tianhe's arms, "Let's go to the camp and rest quickly."

Fu Tianhe went back to the camp with him. As expected, everyone looked surprised when they saw Fu Tianhe, and then came over excitedly to say hello. Someone even went to inform the battalion commander, Lale.

"Brother Fu." Fu Tianhe heard a familiar voice in the noise. He turned around and saw Matchstick standing not far behind him. She was holding a bucket in her hand, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Long time no see," Fu Tianhe said with a smile, "It seems that everyone has been having a good time these days."

Lal quickly walked out of the room and saw Fu Tianhe was so enthusiastic. After all, the other party really saved his life.

"How did the benefactor get here?"

"I walked here." Fu Tianhe was led into the room by Lale and was finally able to sit down and rest. He let go of Da Congming. The beagle was suddenly surrounded by so many people and was a little scared. It stuck to Fu Tianhe obediently.

The two briefly exchanged information about their respective situations. After being rescued by Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci, the Laer camp was reorganized. Many people were injured. While they were guarding the camp vigilantly, they also focused on healing and recuperation.

However, Mom's men did not chase after them, as they were afraid of facing Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci again.

After a week of rest, Lar, who had recovered a lot from his injuries, joined other scavenger camps to launch an attack on Mom. With the joint efforts of everyone, they successfully eliminated Mom's camp.

The scavengers have little sympathy for these bad guys who have harmed others.

Lal no longer talked about how they dealt with Mom, but Fu Tianhe knew that the bandit's fate would not be good.

"How about you, benefactor?" Lal asked, "You came here alone and in such a hurry this time, it shouldn't be just to visit us, right?"

"You're right, I--" Fu Tianhe was about to tell Lal that he might be hunted, when he suddenly remembered that when he and September deceived Donald together, he seemed to have told the collector that the mechanical core manufacturing device was obtained from scavengers on the seashore of an abandoned suburb.

Fu Tianhe's voice stopped abruptly.

He realized that he could not stay in the camp any longer, and if Donald pressed the issue, he would definitely think of this.

The smile on Fu Tianhe's face disappeared: "I can't stay here anymore."

Lar: What's wrong?

Fu Tianhe: "I ran into some trouble outside. If someone comes after me, it will be a drag on you guys."

"How can you say you are a burden? You saved all of our lives. Especially at times like this, you should be with everyone. If a battle breaks out, everyone will help you."

Fu Tianhe shook his head: "No, it will be harder for him to find me alone, and it will be easier for me to escape. You guys have finally settled down, you can't fall into danger again because of me. How about this, do you have any portable means of transportation? Lend it to me."

Of course there were some in the camp. Lal had previously shown Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe the pickup trucks they used to go to urban areas to sell goods.

After destroying the Mom camp, they used the loot to purchase a lot of new equipment.

Now that Fu Tianhe needed it, Lal was naturally generous in giving it to him. He took Fu Tianhe to the garage and personally selected a suitable mount for Alpha.

Lal: "If you need anything else, please let me know."

"That's enough," Fu Tianhe smiled, "I'll stay here and have a meal, then I'll leave."

Soon Matchstick came in with dinner. Compared to when he had just rescued her, Matchstick looked much better and no longer so skinny.

"Thank you." Fu Tianhe took the bowl and had dinner with Lal.

Fu Tianhe: "By the way, didn't you say before that if anyone in the camp got injured, they would go to a specialized doctor? Was it a black clinic or a barefoot doctor?"

Lal: "It's a black clinic, but I think the technology there is pretty good. I broke several ribs and got the medicine there."

Fu Tianhe: "Can you tell me the address?"

Lar: “Of course.”

Lal gave him more than one. When Fu Tianhe saw the records on the terminal log, he thought that he should have told him about all the underground medical points in the CPU side room.

He packed up briefly, put Da Congming in the basket in front of the cart, said goodbye to everyone in the camp, and drove towards the ruins of the former city.

It was already late at night, and the moon's light was not enough to illuminate the road ahead, so Fu Tianhe turned on the headlights, and the beams shot straight ahead, piercing the thick darkness like a sword.

He was the only wanderer in this dead city.

The previous exploration helped Fu Tianhe a lot, and he soon found a place he and Jiu Yue had been to before. Fu Tianhe rode in and, as expected, saw traces left by the two people's camp.

He stopped and decided to rest.

Fu Tianhe took out a sleeping bag from his bag. Now that he was alone, there was no need to be so particular. He didn't even take off his coat and just lay down in it.

If that group of people hadn't secretly placed a locator on him, they wouldn't have found this place in just one night.

In just a dozen hours, Fu Tianhe had run as much as a normal person would in several months. What was even more terrifying was that he didn't feel particularly tired, and even the muscles in his legs didn't feel sore.

I don't remember when he started to show superb physical qualities, endurance, strength, and explosive power that were almost inhuman, each of which was breaking the limit.

His need for sleep was also decreasing. Only when September was by his side, smelling the light scent of tuberose, could he sleep a little longer.

Fu Tianhe didn't know if this was an innate talent. He always felt that "talent" was not a good thing most of the time.

Finally I was able to relax and calm down. Without enough things to attract my attention, the itching in my eyes became extremely obvious.

Fu Tianhe bent his fingers and tapped hard on the golden prosthetic eye. He remembered Donald's interested look - the collector wanted his own prosthetic eye.

What exactly is Donald planning? Fu Tianhe is not sure, but he always feels that the current investigation should be related to his eyes.

It itches. It's really itchy.

Itching is a more unbearable feeling than pain. Fu Tianhe tried his best to control himself and not twist around in his sleeping bag like a maggot. But he was in so much pain.

The situation this time was particularly serious, perhaps because of the peace in the previous period? When he left the island, he had a fever and fell into a coma due to the poison from Sheila. After waking up, his eyes miraculously became numb, and this lasted for nearly ten days.

Then it started to rebound violently.

Maybe he would have to go back to the city tomorrow and visit all the black clinics that Lal mentioned to see if he could find any gene inhibitors.

The next morning, Fu Tianhe was awakened by itching.

This was simply not a pain that a human could endure, but Fu Tianhe knew that he had survived worse pains than this.

He sat up, took out a can from his bag, opened it with a knife, and had it as a smart breakfast.

Fu Tianhe looked out along the crack in the wall. The street was empty and there was no sign that anyone had been there. Donald's men would never think that he had already left Information Processing Area No. 13, right?

Fu Tianhe felt better. He then thought that he didn't know where Jiuyue was now, so he had to tell the boy about the situation first, to avoid the risk of Jiuyue being caught when she finished her work and then returned to Information Processing Area No. 13.

Fu Tianhe took out the terminal and sent a message to Chen Ci.

He explained the situation on his side in detail: Donald's men had searched the No. 13 information processing area and were trying their best to capture the two of them.

After sending the message, Fu Tianhe turned off the terminal. He simply made his own breakfast and set off again after eating, heading to the clinic address provided by Lal.

The one who received the message from Fu Tianhe was Chen Nian.

He and Chen Ci exchanged their identities, and the end naturally transferred from each other's wrists.

Chen Nian was stunned when he saw the message sent by Fu Tianhe. He knew clearly what his brother and Fu Tianhe had done in the Donald Mansion, and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Nian passed the message to Chen Ci exactly as it was.

Chen Ci was sleeping. Every time he finished an examination, he would feel uncomfortable for a while and usually could not regain his energy until the evening.

Fortunately, the journey during this period has improved his physical condition a lot, and he seems to be recovering faster than before.

He had just finished his nap when he saw the message from Chen Nian on the new terminal.

Is Fu Tianhe being hunted by Donald?

Chen Ci frowned. It had been only one day since they parted, and Fu Tianhe had already arrived at the Abandoned Suburbs from Information Processing Area No. 13, looked for Lal, and slept somewhere else.

Chen Ci didn't know how he got through it, but he could easily imagine how thrilling that day was for Alpha.

Chen Ci then passed the message to Shafla.

Shafley was busy analyzing the contents of the hard drive when he saw Chen Ci's message pop up: [Help. 】

Donald's people are causing trouble again?

Shafley clicked his tongue. He thought that his investigation had taught the collector a lesson. It seemed that Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe's acts of fraud and robbery really made Donald hate them to the core.

Shafley: [Okay, leave it to me.]

Shafley immediately contacted the relevant personnel.

As soon as Fu Tianhe arrived at the CPU side room on his bike, he received a reply from September.

Jiu Yue said that he asked someone to find an absolutely safe place, and asked Fu Tianhe to wait at a certain coordinate point. Two men would come to find him, and after exchanging secret codes, they would take him to the absolutely safe place.

In fact, the news was passed by Shafley to Chen Ci, Chen Ci passed it to Chen Nian, and Chen Nian passed it to Fu Tianhe.

Fu Tianhe looked at the agreed time, which was nearly two hours away, so he hurried to visit those black clinics.

He asked everyone but couldn't get any clues about gene correctors. He even said that many doctors didn't even know the true meaning of this jargon.

Fu Tianhe couldn't tell them the true effect of the medicine and could only leave helplessly.

At the second-to-last black clinic, Fu Tianhe finally met a doctor who could understand him. The doctor stared at him suspiciously for more than ten seconds before saying:

"Last year, this thing was classified as the most strictly controlled. If the seller or buyer is caught, they will be sentenced to the most severe prison term. What do you want this thing for?"

Fu Tianhe could only say that he came over out of curiosity and wanted to ask.

The doctor just said: "If you really want to get this stuff, I suggest you go to the epidemic prevention station. It is the only formal channel to obtain it."

Fu Tianhe left the black clinic with nothing. Of course he knew he could get it from the epidemic prevention station, but as long as he stepped into the door of the epidemic prevention station, he would never be able to get out.

It was already the time we had agreed to meet in September.

Fu Tianhe went to the designated location with a heavy heart.

Think about it brightly. Even though I failed to get the medicine, at least I don't have to run around anymore.

He waited under a street light on a remote street corner, and after a while, he saw two men in police uniforms approaching.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Fu Tianhe?"

"Oh, yes." Fu Tianhe became alert. "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

The two policemen looked at each other and asked, "How many hard drives did you bring this time?"

"Uh, five." Fu Tianhe gave the secret code.

The next second, the policeman took out handcuffs from his waist, locked them on Fu Tianhe's wrists with a click, and nodded, "Please follow us, we will take you to a safe place."

Fu Tianhe: “…Huh?!?!?!”

It was not until he was locked up in a detention center room that Fu Tianhe finally recovered with great difficulty.

To be fair, this is indeed the safest place in the world, and there is no way that Donald's men could catch him here.

Fu Tianhe sat on the bed in the detention center. Da Congming sniffed around the room, obviously very curious about the new environment.

The two policemen just locked him up here and let him stay put. They did not take away Fu Tianhe's communication equipment, so he can still continue to contact Jiu Yue.

...Such a peculiar way of doing things, he could only say it was worthy of being September.

Fu Tianhe was in a complicated mood.

Then Fu Tianhe let out a long breath.

Forget it, why should I be in a complicated mood? Anyway, there is food and shelter here, and it is safe. How great is that? He can eat and drink as he pleases, and just wait for his return in September.

A thousand meters above his head.

In the evening, Chen Ci and Shafley had dinner together and went to the villa together.

After a twenty-minute drive, they arrived at their destination. However, the villa, far away from the hustle and bustle, was in complete darkness. All the windows were dark, like a beast that had devoured the light and was peeking in the dark.

Ready to eat anything that comes near.

Shaflay paused.

Is Chen Nian not here?

With vigilance filling their hearts, Shafley and Chen Ci looked at each other, then they walked through the path in the courtyard and arrived at the door.

Shafley unlocked the access system using his fingerprint and iris scan, then reached out and pushed open the door.

The familiar large house sank into darkness, and not a single sound could be heard around it.

"Chen Nian?" Shafley called softly.

Chen Ci followed behind Shafley, observing his surroundings silently. He reached out to turn on the light, but when he pressed the switch, no light came out.

Is there a power outage?

As they walked into the living room, the door suddenly slammed behind them.

Chen Ci and Shaflay turned around at the same time. The curtains beside the French window suddenly began to shake violently, like the hem of a dancer spinning wildly, moving without wind.

Shaffley frowned and walked slowly towards the curtain. The moment he took a step forward, it was as if the existence hidden in the shadows was offended. Heavy breathing came from all directions, followed by inhuman screams, hitting his eardrums and brain.

Even though Shafla was prepared, he was still shocked.

The next second, the curtain was thrown open, and a white ghost rushed out, facing Shafulai's face!

Shaflay yelled in cooperation, "Ahhhhhhh!"

Chen Ci: "."

Chen Nian tore off the white sheet on his body, laughed triumphantly, pressed the remote control in his hand, and all the strange noises disappeared.

Shafley breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to touch his badly injured ear.

He just knew it.

The house suddenly became like this, it must be the people living inside who are causing trouble, otherwise he and Chen Ci would not have not used their mental powers to investigate.

Chen Nian was quite excited: "How was it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Shafley: "It was quite surprising and unexpected that a beautiful girl in a golden house was turned into a horror movie scene."

Chen Ci looked calm, but he stroked the goose bumps on his arms and asked, "Which horror movie did you dig this audio from?"

"It was heard by a friend in the game who called the number on the paper. It's super weird, isn't it? Some players have already analyzed that it is related to a new map in the game."

Chen Nian snapped his fingers, and all the lights in the house turned back on, making the surroundings bright.

Chen Ci then discovered that the house was a little different from when they left early in the morning. The decoration had been slightly changed, and the vase on the table was filled with fresh, bright flowers. Although they were arranged without any skill, they still displayed the most original beauty.

Shafley was visibly stunned.

He looked at the paintings that suddenly appeared on the wall, arranged in a very familiar pattern. Three weeks ago, he had modeled them himself and built a pixel house in the game he programmed.

The wall clock was adjusted, there was red wine on the table, and the clothes that were casually taken off were draped over the back of the sofa.

Alpha looked at Chen Nian and saw the smugness in those amber eyes.

It must have taken quite a while to tidy up the house to look like it does in the game.

After finishing a day's work, the pixel man in the game returns home, recalling all kinds of heartwarming scenes, and finally finds his naturalist lover who is painting in the studio on the second floor.

Now, he has finished the official business that needed to be dealt with today and came to this villa outside to meet his beloved Omega in private.

"We still need a studio," said Shafley.

"Wait until you get all the furniture over tomorrow before you clean it up." Chen Nian blinked, "But...what do I need to put in the bottle?"

Obviously this was a private conversation between the young couple, and Chen Ci had no idea what they were saying.

"How's Fu Tianhe doing?" He asked after the two of them finished talking.

"He's already in a safe place." Chen Nian took off the terminal and handed it to Chen Ci, "Contact him yourself."

Chen Ci nodded: "Then I'll go upstairs."

Chen Nian invited him: "Shafulai and I are planning to go to the Electric Fantasy Kingdom to see where the clues point to. Do you want to join us?"

Chen Ci thought of the red eye that suddenly appeared when he wore it last time, and some bad memories were instantly brought back: "No, I still don't like using the neural adapter. It gives me a headache."

"Okay." Chen Nian did not force it. After all, his brother's behavior showed that he was more suitable for modern life.

Chen Ci went upstairs, and the sound of his footsteps soon disappeared overhead. The house had good sound insulation, so even if they made a big fuss on the first floor, Chen Ci would not be able to hear it.

Shafley put his hands on Chen Nian's waist and asked in a low voice: "Why are you scaring me?"

"It's really boring to stay at home alone, so find something fun. You are busy analyzing the hard drive, and I don't want to bother you by sending you more messages."

Chen Nian looked up at him with a smile in her eyes: "I have been painting since I finished cleaning the house. Now I have something to do."

Shafley: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Chen Nian paused and pretended to complain, "I haven't seen you for a whole day, and you just want to say these meaningless words to me?"

Even though Shafla's life in the first twenty-five years was terrifyingly pure, he still understood the hidden meaning of the boy's life.

His hand slid up to Chen Nian's neck, his fingertips squeezed into the anti-bite collar, stroking the shallow teeth marks, and lowered his head to place a kiss on Chen Nian's lips.

Chen Nian immediately raised his hand and grabbed his collar, and now Shafulai couldn't retreat even if he wanted to.

But what reason did he have to withdraw?

The sweet aroma of sherry and tuberose spread between the lips and teeth, like wine brewed from the most beautiful flowers. With their breathing slightly quickened, both parties ended this ordinary kiss together.

Chen Nian: "I have made an appointment with Bai Gei Yingtao. When you come online, we will go to Brown Castle together to check the situation."

Shaflay: "Then let's have some fun tonight."

"Yeah, we have to have fun." Chen Nian smiled with his eyes narrowed, as cunning as a little fox wagging its tail.

Obviously, the "play" he mentioned is not just playing games.
