Chapter 1546 - 1546 Receiving
1546 Receiving
Ruan Ziying stood alone beside a car in the periphery of the slums, looking far away.
“How’s the situation inside?”
Ruan Ziying asked when she saw Shan Fucai walking back.
At this moment, Shan Fucai’s authority had been taken over by the officer who had just arrived a few hours ago.
“I’m not sure. The signal inside the octagonal seal is blocked, so we can’t determine the situation inside the slums. There are also Fallen Ones gathering on the outside. We even discovered Luo Xu and his group earlier and fought with them. They broke into the slums.”
“Currently, it’s already filled with a large number of corrupted creatures and the Fallen Ones. Coupled with the extremely high concentration of pollution, it’s very difficult for our people to enter.”
“No news from Sheng Tao?”
Shan Fucai shook his head with a solemn expression.
Ruan Ziying turned on her phone.
She was now outside the slums and still suffered from signal interference. The internet was intermittent.
After the outside world received the news, there were also groups of players who approached the slums to dig out the mission line, but most of them were stopped by the people of the Occult Investigation Committee.
As the octagonal seal in the sky continued, the people outside the seal also began to be contaminated. Therefore, the Occult Investigation Committee immediately organized the evacuation of the periphery personnel and divided them into restricted areas.
In fact, Ruan Ziying had also received a reminder about the mission to explore the slums.
But she cherished her life more.
It was too dangerous to barge in alone.
The client was very important, and the mission was also very attractive.
But survival was more important!
Ruan Ziying was a little anxious. She refreshed the webpage and looked for relevant information.
Eh?
Suddenly, Ruan Ziying’s heart skipped a beat.
She received a text message on her phone.
It came from an unknown number. There was a string of numbers in front of the message.
Ruan Ziying was very familiar with this string of numbers. It was the phone number she had given Fang Heng when she first brought him to this world!
There was a message behind the phone number, asking her to quietly go to a coordinate point alone to avoid the eyes and ears of the Occult Investigation Team.
Judging from the map, the coordinates were located at the periphery of the slums, not far from her location!
How was this possible?
Could it be Fang Heng?
He did not die! He even sent her a contact message!?
Ruan Ziying’s heart started to beat faster.
Shan Fucai noticed the change in Ruan Ziying’s expression and couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
“No, nothing.”
Ruan Ziying thought for a moment and decided to go and take a look.
The target’s coordinates were nearby. If it was a trap, people would come to investigate if there was any movement.
With her ability, she could protect herself for a short period of time.
“Maybe I’m a little tired. I want to go outside and rest.”
Shan Fucai stared at Ruan Ziying and said in a deep voice, “You’ve been contaminated?”
“No, I’m just tired.”
“Mm, okay, go. Be careful.”
Shan Fucai watched Ruan Ziying leave and then turned his gaze to the slums.
He felt very strange.
Sheng Tao had been in there for too long.
Did something unexpected happen? Even he…
His superiors had the same thoughts as him, so they were not in a hurry to enter the octagonal seal area to observe. Instead, they took the first step to control the situation in the outside world.
Ruan Ziying carefully avoided the place where the Occult Investigation Committee gathered. She remained vigilant and followed the coordinates she received on her phone.
Along the way, there were still many police officers patrolling around, chasing away unrelated people.
Ruan Ziying had a temporary consultant badge provided by the Occult Committee, so she was considered a member of the investigation committee.
Ruan Ziying stopped when she reached the edge of a spa.r.s.e forest.
There was no one around.
That’s right, the agreed coordinates were here.
No one?
“Ka…!”
Ruan Ziying was startled by a slight sound. She turned her head to look at her feet. At the same time, the Book of Nature appeared in her hand, and she a.s.sumed a fighting pose.
“Crack!”
With another sound, a wooden plank on the ground was lifted!
Ruan Ziying was surprised to find that there was a wooden pa.s.sage under the thick leaves!
The wooden board was slowly pushed away by a hand.
Then, a person poked his head out from under the wooden board.
Seeing that person, Ruan Ziying’s face suddenly showed an extremely surprised expression.
And joy!
“Fang…”
“Hush!”
It was actually Fang Heng!
Ruan Ziying quickly covered her mouth.
When she saw the message, she had been wondering if Fang Heng was looking for her. When she saw this scene, she was shocked.
Fang Heng looked completely unharmed and did not look like he was being hunted at all.
Ruan Ziying was speechless for a moment and then stuttered, “You, you…”
Fang Heng looked around and quickly nodded. He whispered, “I know you have a lot of questions. Follow me first! Come down.”
“Ah.”
Ruan Ziying watched helplessly as Fang Heng burrowed into the ground.
It was a secret underground pa.s.sageway built in the slums!
Ruan Ziying recognized it immediately.
A long time ago, the slums used to be a war-torn area, and there were many secret pa.s.sages below.
Could it be that Fang Heng’s luck was so good that he actually found the pa.s.sage??
However, she remembered that the government had already blocked all the pa.s.sages in the past…
“Hurry up.”
Ruan Ziying was still a little confused. After being urged by Fang Heng, she didn’t think too much and jumped into the pa.s.sage with him.
Fang Heng quickly closed the entrance of the pa.s.sage above and led Ruan Ziying inside.
“How is the situation outside? No one followed me, right?”
“Yes.”
Ruan Ziying followed Fang Heng forward. At first, she nodded blankly, but then she quickly recovered from her surprise and bombarded Fang Heng with questions like a machine gun.
“What’s wrong with you? What happened here?”
“Were you the one who caused the disappearance of Albra’s Pupil last night? Is that ritual related to you?”
“Why are the people of the Revolution Society looking for you? And Sheng Tao? Do you know that Sheng Tao is looking for you right now? He’s from the Revolution Society. When did you offend the Revolution Society?”
“Sheng Tao is ruthless. Your current situation is extremely dangerous!”
“How’s the pollution in your body now? No, this place is too dangerous. You can’t stay here any longer. You have to leave this place quickly!”
Fang Heng looked back at Ruan Ziying.
There were so many questions that he didn’t know which one to answer.
In short, the zombie clones were lucky. They had just dug a tunnel underground and connected it to the underground tunnel that was left behind.
Then, Fang Heng asked Luo Xu to help him summon a few abyss servants to send a text message to Ruan Ziying, reminding her to meet him at one of the exits.
“Ahem, don’t be anxious. In short, something happened. I’ll answer your questions one by one, but I need your help now. After all, I’m your client, right?”
“Of course. Starfish Company has always prioritized its customers…”
Ruan Ziying opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw Fang Heng’s relaxed appearance, she also began to be feel dazed.
