Before they knew it, they had spent five hours in space. It should be around six in the evening outside.

At six, it was extremely cold, and the sky had already turned completely black.

Huo Yishen dressed in his own clothes while awkwardly holding the swimming trunks, “I’ll wash this and return it to you?”

Jiang Ning wiggled her toes, “They look good on you, consider it a gift.”

Chest is chest, buttocks are buttocks, with long legs and a perfect waist.

After speaking, she realized what she had said and couldn’t even cover her mouth in time.

Huo Yishen’s face turned red.

Of course, he was polite in return, “Thank you, the outfit you wore today is also very nice.”

Jiang Ning, “…”

Huo Yishen, “…”

Alright, they were both just ordinary people, neither of them wanting to look down on the other.

With bullets loaded, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen disappeared from space.

The room was pitch black and silent, you couldn’t even see your hand in front of your face.

After standing in the darkness for a while and making sure there was no one around, she turned on the flashlight and dimmed the light to the lowest setting.

The door to the corridor was open, the entire building was quiet, but lights could be vaguely seen in other buildings.

They didn’t know when the law enforcement department would leave. Sitting idly wasn’t an option, so the two quietly made their way downstairs…

The first floor’s entrance was sealed off, guarded by soldiers.

The two returned to the second floor, entered a suite, opened the window, and used an escape rope to descend to the first floor under the cover of night.

Many people were mobilized today, and they happened to see survivors queuing up, being taken out of the community and loaded onto large trucks.

Some were emotionally distressed and unwilling to leave, “I can barely eat here, will I be able to eat properly according to your arrangements?”

An elderly woman tightly held onto a tree and refused to move, emotionally agitated, “I haven’t broken any laws, why are you arresting people?”

The police officer was so angered by her that his blood pressure rose, “You haven’t broken any laws? Do you know how many people have been harmed by what you’ve produced?”

Over 20,000 bullets, a machine that never stopped spinning day and night.

He couldn’t even imagine how much harm it would have caused to society if it hadn’t been stopped in time.

“They tell me what to do, and I do it.” The old woman was extremely indignant, her voice getting louder, “I’m just a worker, whatever the boss says, I do. How is that breaking the law?

I don’t want to do it either, but you officials don’t give me food, how am I supposed to feed my children?”

With that, she burst into tears.

In the end, she was still taken away mercilessly.

The lights in the Lian Haoteng Court were scattered, with law enforcement officers stationed. It wasn’t easy to slip away.

The two hid and sneaked around. It was impossible to leave through the main entrance, so they had to climb over the two-story-high skirt building of the community and then jump onto the street outside…

Just as they reached a secluded corner of the skirt building, they heard footsteps.

The person coming held a walkie-talkie, sounding excited, “Notify the Grain Bureau immediately, there’s a large amount of food here, I estimate there’s at least tens of thousands of kilograms.

These people not only collect protection grains for food but also robbed supermarkets and wholesale markets.

Tell them to send more trucks and haul everything away as soon as possible, there are also many other supplies, remember to handle the handover properly.”

Tens of thousands of kilograms of food?

Jiang Ning remembered that during the public trial, it seemed to be around sixty thousand kilograms.

Presumably, as food became increasingly scarce later on, it was squandered by the Dragon Slaying Society, or they used it for shady deals.

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, just as the man was about to leave, someone else approached, “Chief Ling, we’ve thoroughly interrogated all the key members of the Dragon Slaying Society and checked their handwriting, but we haven’t found the person who sent us the letters of complaint.”

“Two letters of complaint, and none of them match?”

“No.”

“That’s impossible. The letters of complaint were written in great detail. One of them even depicted the checkpoints and passes. The informant must be a high-ranking member within the Dragon Slaying Society who has access to confidential information.”

The man suspected that not only the letters of complaint but also the person who created the opportunities for them today, was the same.

This was a bikini party. Apart from insiders of the Dragon Slaying Society, who could bring weapons in right under their noses?

“Do we have any results from the headshot bullets?”

“The forensics just gave the results. The bullets were confirmed to be from our internal system, but they don’t belong to Fengshan City.”

The man frowned. This didn’t make sense; it was too contradictory!

Could it be that this person had been undercover for a long time? But now that their lair had been raided, there was no reason for them not to come forward.

“Continue the interrogation thoroughly, and pay attention to rescuing the survivors.”

“Yes, Chief Ling.”

The newcomer noted it down, then asked, “The Municipal Bureau is sending someone over to inquire about how we plan to deal with this batch of criminals?”

The man fell silent, sighing deeply after a long while. “From the onset of the disaster until now, the evil has been growing day by day, and we’ve lost too many comrades.

I suggest a severe crackdown. We must suppress this evil trend.

Anyone who has killed will be executed, without exception. As for those who haven’t killed, send them to prison and then to the coal mines in the Western Mountains. They will be observed for six months and released if they show remorse.

Furthermore, mobilize the masses to report and bring back all the members of the Dragon Slaying Society who are on the run. Not one should escape punishment.”

He hadn’t expected the lair to be this big. Not to mention that they wouldn’t get any rest tonight, they wouldn’t get any rest for the foreseeable future.

With the walkie-talkie in hand, the man continued to arrange tasks as he walked.

Jiang Ning, who was hiding in the darkness, heard every word clearly. Two letters of complaint?

Subconsciously, she thought of Huo Yishen. He knew the Dragon Slaying Society better than she did. Besides him, who else could it be?

But Jiang Ning wouldn’t be foolish enough to ask.

In the end of the world, you can have anything, except for curiosity…

Curiosity killed the cat; one must never attempt to pry into others’ secrets.

Regarding Huo Yishen, she had some guesses buried in her heart, and that was enough.

When the others left, Huo Yishen climbed up the skirt building and pulled Jiang Ning up with a rope.

As they were about to leave, a beam of light suddenly shone from afar, “Who’s there?”

Huo Yishen grabbed Jiang Ning and ran. Rapid footsteps followed from behind, “Stop, or I’ll shoot!”

With agile movements, they clung to a window and jumped, landing steadily on the street.

“Jump down, I’ll catch you.”

The soldier from the skirt building quickly climbed over the wall. Jiang Ning had to jump, hoping that her good neighbor would catch her. She didn’t want to end up as a pile of meat.

With trust in his strength, she gritted her teeth and jumped down.

Before she hit the ground, she was securely caught by Huo Yishen, who cushioned her fall and neutralized the external force.

Feeling a bit dizzy, she hadn’t recovered when he grabbed her hand and ran.

With his long legs, he ran like a speeding car.

Jiang Ning was once the champion of the school’s sprint event, but she felt like she was being dragged to fly by him.

Truly, their bodies were flying ahead, while their souls were chasing from behind.
