Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng and Niannian arrived at the foot of the mountain, but they did not go into the mountain.

"Fourth Sister, where are we going?" Niannian's voice was full of excitement.

"I see you're not scared at all, you're actually quite excited," Yu Meng said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? The two of us can even kill a crocodile as big as a triangular crocodile. Who would dare to really mess with us?" At this moment, Nian Nian was not the obedient girl at home. She was confident and flamboyant, and her words were very domineering.

"We're not going anywhere right now, we'll just wait here."

"Who are we waiting for?" Niannian asked curiously. "Is it the same group that came last time?"

Yu Meng nodded. "The old charlatan said I should go to the most dangerous place. Where could be more dangerous than the alien battlefield?"

"Will they come back? Didn't you already refuse them last time?"

"The situation is different now. Secretary Wu told me that the base will be disbanded at the end of this month, and when the base is disbanded, they will no longer be soldiers of the base."

Niannian's eyes lit up. "If they go with my sister, won't that mean someone will protect us?"

Yu Meng nodded, "Although I thought of going to the alien battlefield, it's definitely not feasible for just the two of us girls. If they were with us, we would be much safer."

"Fourth Sister, I just don't understand, how did you know we were in danger? Aren't Eldest Sister and Sister Xiu in danger?" Niannian kicked at the pebbles on the road with her little feet.

"When Xiao Wen came here last time, did you hear what he said? There are many new faces in the Alien Battlefield, and many more Bone Painters. Tell me, which Bone Painter would want to suffer in the Alien Battlefield? The conditions there are terrible."

Niannian frowned slightly. "Do they have a reason they have to go in?"

"Of course, just like us, unless there's a special reason, would you rather lie down in this little building or enjoy the breeze at the foot of this mountain?"

"What about Sister Xiu? Is she in danger? Why don't we secretly go and call her over so we can go together?"

Yu Meng shook her head. "Sister Xiu is considered above average in our small town, but nationally speaking, she's just average. No matter who's in power, they can't possibly wipe out all the mask-revealers. Most importantly, Sister Xiu doesn't have the ambition of either of us; she's suited to a comfortable environment."

Yu Meng and Niannian found a small cave and settled down. Every night, Sister Xiu would use a communication bell to tell Yu Meng about things happening in town.

Sure enough, ten days later, Sister Xiu secretly sent Yu Meng a message in the middle of the night. She said that Li Yiqing had come to town and asked about Yu Meng's whereabouts.

Li Yiqing looked very anxious. He said that all the talented mask revealers in the city, regardless of age, had been urgently recruited by the government to a large compound for emergency training so that they could better study the aliens.

When he heard the news, he told his grandfather, but his grandfather's expression was very unpleasant. The old man only said one thing: that the Li family's descendants should behave themselves and not cause trouble.

When Sister Xiu explained that Yu Meng and Niannian had been gone for more than 10 days and their whereabouts were unknown, his heart suddenly felt at ease.

At this moment, Aunt Yu's eyes reddened. "Didn't you see my little Si'er? The day she left, she said she was going to the city to find you and ask about some things."

Li Yiqing's face turned pale instantly. "I've been at home these past few days and haven't seen her."

"That brat, she lied to me again!" Yu Ma burst into tears.

Dali went over and hugged Aunt Yu. "Our little sister is the strongest in the family, she'll be alright. Don't cry, look how swollen your eyes are."

Yu Hai brought over a glass of water. "Mom, have some water. Your little sister avoided this trouble by not going to the city; you should be happy."

Li Yiqing didn't see Yu Meng. He felt a little depressed. He still had a treasure in his possession, and he didn't know what Yu Meng meant. Should he contact the Lu family in Kyoto?

After Sister Xiu told Yu Meng about Li Yiqing's visit to town, Yu Meng immediately thought of this problem. This was Li Yiqing's only way to build connections in the capital.

But in the current situation, Yu Meng couldn't judge whether the situation was good or bad for Li Yiqing, so she put the matter aside and left it to Li Yiqing's own fate. Anyway, Li Yiqing had paid a price when he gave that thing to her.

Inside the Shizukawa base.

Secretary Wu watched as the two groups fought fiercely over control of the swaying production line. He secretly tugged at Xia Xuan, "Teacher Xia, these days, the only people who can expose these aliens are you and Chu Qinghe. Everyone else is on the alien battlefield. You should be prepared. If you have any influence, see if they're willing to protect you."

Xia Xuan had been numb for a while. She didn't know what had happened. She thought she was right to stay at the base, but who knew that the base would be taken over by a different person in the blink of an eye, and that the base would be disbanded.

Just when she was wondering where she was going, the vibrant production line was once again in high demand. She became the most sought-after person. But she knew in her heart that if she could create value, she would still be in demand, but if her value was squeezed dry, her fate might be worse than those bone painters on the alien battlefield.

Secretary Wu quietly organized some documents and sealed them away in a place he knew only. He had worked at this base for 20 years; he himself had been a soldier who had been parasitized, and it was his mother who had rid him of the alien. Therefore, he stayed by his mother's side, helping her with some trivial matters, so that his mother could have an easier time.

But now, his mother-in-law is gone, and the base is about to be disbanded. He doesn't know where he should go. He sent messages to all the soldiers on the alien battlefield, telling them that the base would be disbanded at the end of the month, and he didn't know if they would come back before the end of the month.

Secretary Wu didn't leave; he wanted to wait until the end of the month. Otherwise, if the soldiers returned and didn't see him, and their homes were gone, who knew what else might happen? At least, he knew where to get the bone-drawing masters to remove the aliens from these soldiers.

Secretary Wu had made preparations here, but the exit of the alien battlefield had changed, and these soldiers could no longer freely enter or exit the entrance.

The brand-new clause, written in the thickest pen, reads: "Alien parasites are prohibited from entering human society without authorization. Violators will be executed on the spot."

The exit was quiet, and the two corpses lying on the ground were the best explanation for this regulation.

At this moment, a fat man who looked like a businessman walked over, holding a megaphone. "Making this rule is a last resort. We don't want the Fourth Base incident to happen again, so we can only start from the source and prevent any parasite from entering human society."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, I'm talking about parasites carrying aliens, but if you don't, we certainly won't stop you."

He pointed back in the direction he had come from, "There are professional bone artists there who will examine you and remove the aliens. Of course, this isn't free; bone artists need to make a living too."
