Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Are you alright?"

About half a minute later, Cheng Qiao arrived with his men.

Actually, in terms of distance, Chengqiao is already quite fast.

When Jiang Mian took Du Biao away from the bar, he used the wind to increase his speed, making it difficult for those who were not speed specialists to keep up.

In addition, the skirmish ended in just a few seconds, which naturally created a time difference.

"Team Leader Cheng!"

Xiao Ye shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and then looked at the ground.

Even the aftershocks from the fire dragon left charred marks on the ground.

"The other side has already retreated to the west of the city."

Cheng Qiao nodded. Since the other party had run west of the city, it wouldn't be easy to catch them in a short time.

After all, things are very chaotic there now. Apart from the factory area, you might encounter infected people fighting each other just by walking around on the street.

He did not blame the group. Given that the opponent was a high-level sequence and their strength had reached the second tier, no three-person group could stand against them.

It could even be said that all the second-tier awakened beings present combined might not be a match for her.

If you anger the other party and they start making a scene here, it will be even more difficult to handle.

Who would have thought... that just catching Du Biao would lead to the discovery of such a big fish, the kind that can eat people.

"I've roughly seen the situation through the mental network. Chenyang, that attack just now... did you catch it?"

Ye Chenyang nodded slightly.

"The other party doesn't seem to intend to kill; they're more interested in creating an opportunity to escape."

"No need to be modest. You're quite good at reacting so quickly and blocking that attack for Xiao Ye without getting hurt."

Cheng Qiao patted his shoulder, his tone approving, but his eyes held a complex expression.

This kid... he can fool Xiao Ye, but he can't fool him.

He had watched the whole thing carefully online, and Ye Chenyang was clearly hiding something. But since he wasn't saying anything, there was no need for him to expose him.

It's normal for geniuses to have some little secrets.

"Let's go, don't just stand there. Let's clean up the scene first, then go back and review what happened. This isn't over yet."

……

On the other side, Du Biao almost knelt down the moment he stepped onto solid ground.

It was so tough; who knows how much rainwater he drank along the way.

"You're safe."

Jiang Mian's cool voice rang out beside him.

"Ahem, yes, yes. Please feel free to ask me anything."

Du Biao wiped his mouth, then quickly bowed, his tone and attitude noticeably more respectful than before, behaving like a complete lackey.

The guy in front of me has really thick thighs!

Even those who are ill, just by saying they can do this, are more trustworthy than many awakened people.

"OK."

Jiang Mian straightened his hood, and after making sure his clothes were in order, casually asked:

"Do you remember the address I asked for before?"

"I remember, I remember!"

Du Biao nodded quickly. The other party mentioned this matter... probably because they had received the news last time but hadn't had time to go yet.

"Well... that place is a gray area. Many infected people have been there, and... many of them have unusual backgrounds."

really!

Jiang Mian's eyes narrowed; she had vaguely sensed something was wrong from Chen Qing's attitude earlier.

That place is definitely a "safe zone" that is tacitly approved by the authorities.

It was quite different from what she had guessed at the time, but it seemed to make sense nonetheless.

Although the probability of developing a disease during awakening is low, it is very fair; even the descendants of powerful families have the same probability of developing a disease.

Seeing her silence, Du Biao quickly added:

"Besides those people, there are quite a few ordinary individuals as well. As long as they are willing to reveal their identities and accept control, they are qualified to enter there."

"Oh?"

Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow beneath the hood of his raincoat.

So, besides the young masters and ladies, there is another group of "honest" patients under official control?

As the saying goes, "surrounding three sides and leaving one open," the official purpose of leaving this way out is obvious: to make use of the useful resources among the infected.

By the way, they wouldn't use infected people to attack infected people, would they?

It's possible, and the possibility is quite high.

Jiang Mian will not consider that matter for now.

She would not entrust her life to others, nor would she reveal the secret that she was from "Doomsday".

This news is of no use to me, but it's a pity about those two thousand yuan.

"Next, what's the situation in the west of the city?"

Jiang Mian asked this question not just out of mere interest.

I'm only five level 2 units away from level 3. It would be nice to grab a buffet on the way back.

Although Ye Chenyang didn't know where all this information came from, it seemed inexplicably reliable.

Sixth Order...

It sounds a bit far off, but at least there's something to look forward to.

Upon hearing this, Du Biao, not daring to guess what the big boss was thinking, honestly replied:

"The western part of the city is now mainly divided into three areas."

"The old street is occupied by a gang called the Blood Gang. The leader used to be a boxer, but now he's made it big, reaching the third rank, and has about a hundred men under his command."

"Further west, near the factory, is Black Killer's territory. Their leader is also a Tier 3. It's said that he used to do dirty work for some big shots. I wonder if they've fallen out."

"Dirty work? Assassination?"

At this point, Jiang Mian thought of the infected person who came to assassinate him last time. Could it be one of this person's men?

When Du Biao heard Jiang Mian pressing him about the Black Killing, his heart tightened. This person in front of him... probably has some kind of grudge against them, right?

"Yes! They solve 'trouble' for people. As long as the money and inhibitors are there, they'll do anything else! You could say... none of these people are clean."

"Besides these people, there are also some scattered small groups, whose leaders are mostly at the second level, and they often clash. But strangely... the Containment Bureau has never taken action to clean up the mess."

At this point, Jiang Mian already understood about 70-80% of what was going on.

The higher-ups are probably still observing, waiting for these patients to continue their internal strife.

First, by cracking down on black market vendors, the supply of inhibitors circulating covertly will become increasingly scarce and difficult to obtain.

These patients are bound to fight, and lacking inhibitors, they are unable to think clearly and will only fight more and more fiercely.

At that time, even without taking action, those rioting diseased individuals will self-destruct due to infighting, or be left with only a few easily plucked "sicklings".

That's quite a scheme.

Jiang Mian sighed softly. Even if they realized what was happening now, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.

However, in the spirit of saving money, perhaps I could try to find some bargains?

"Alright, that's settled then."

She waved to Du Biao and said:

"When we get home tonight... you're a smart person, you know what to do, right?"

Du Biao raised his head and saw the dark golden light under the hood. He bowed repeatedly but didn't say anything.

"Oh."

Jiang Mian chuckled softly, ignored him, and turned to disappear into the rain.

She knew that after tonight, Du Biao would no longer exist in Base City 144.
