Little Loli looked around and said to Zi Yi, “Sister, we have cracked the peripheral security system here. We’ll be able to enter shortly.”
Zi Yi told her, “After you go in, find the people who have been occupied by the Worm Race. Do not take any action for the time being.”
Little Loli said, “Okay!”
Zi Yi gave her a few more orders before ending the call.
The next morning when Zi Yi walked out of the room, Qin Ze just so happened to be coming in from outside with two plates of breakfast. He smiled and said to Zi Yi, “You’re awake just in time. Breakfast has been prepared, come and have a bite.”
!!
Zi Yi walked over and looked at the two plates of food he had placed on the table.
There was bread, eggs and milk, and a few cherries.
Qin Ze took a sip of the milk, picked up a hard-boiled egg, and peeled the sh.e.l.l. “I thought about what you said last night.”
Zi Yi was going to take a bite of the bread, when she heard what he said and she looked up at him.
Qin Ze grinned and said, “In fact, the future you mentioned is also my dream. I feel that if we work harder, perhaps it can really become reality in another twenty years.”
Zi Yi gave him a contemptuous look and continued to eat her breakfast.
Qin Ze was unhappy with her reaction. “What’s with that gaze of yours? What I said is the truth.”
Zi Yi took a sip of the milk and asked, “What truth? Are you able to predict the future?”
“Err…”
Qin Ze was choked by her response.
Zi Yi moved the egg on her plate to the side and said, “If you can eat an additional egg, take mine. I don’t like this kind of hard-boiled egg.”
Qin Ze gave her a speechless look. “Sure enough, you’re a little brat. To think that you’re being picky with food.”
Zi Yi did not bother looking at him either as she snorted. “Are you itching for a beating again?”
At the thought of the previous time, Qin Ze wisely kept his mouth shut and took the egg she had moved to the side. When he saw that she did not eat much, he said, “If you can’t get used to the breakfast here, I’ll prepare some Chinese cuisine for you. I don’t wish for a situation where I get blamed when Mr. Lu realizes you’ve lost weight the next time he sees you.”
Zi Yi did not bother answering him and she finished the gla.s.s of milk, then she ate the remaining half of the bread. She stood up and said, “I’ll go outside for a stroll. We’ll set off in an hour.”
Qin Ze hastily stuffed the last bite of bread into his mouth and said, “I’ll go with you!”
Zi Yi’s appearance was quite something and he did not dare to let her wander around alone.
Soon, both of them left the hotel they were staying at.
This was a small town. Even though it was not big, the scenery and architecture here were very beautiful. There were red brick chimneys and the cobblestone sidewalks were planted with flowers outside every house.
“This place is really nice. Isn’t it a place that is very suitable for retirement?”
Zi Yi tilted her head and glanced at Qin Ze without saying anything. She then s.h.i.+fted her attention around.
It was still early and there weren’t many people on the sidewalk. However, whenever people walked past them, they would give her another glance or two.
When they walked past her, they would all whisper among themselves, “That girl is really beautiful.”
Both of them continued walking for some time and Qin Ze finally could not take it anymore, as he asked, “Zi Yi, are you really just wandering around? Isn’t it a waste of time?”
“No. I’m looking for the grocery store here.” After she said that, she called out to an elderly gentleman who was walking past and asked him in the local dialect, “Grandpa, where’s the grocery store?”
The elderly man pointed her in a certain direction.
Zi Yi gave her thanks and put her hands into her pocket as she headed in the direction the elderly man pointed her in.
Qin Ze, who was surprised that Zi Yi knew how to speak the local dialect, hastily chased up to her and asked, “Zi Yi, when did you learn their local language?”
“Just moments ago.”
She had wandered for such a long time in order to learn the local language?!
However, Qin Ze was stunned by Zi Yi’s answer.
It took him some time before he caught up to Zi Yi and gave her a thumbs up. “You’re really awesome. The speed in which you learn is almost as fast as that of a computer.”
“A computer can’t compare to me,” Zi Yi said, “Everyone has mental energy and as long as you can successfully stimulate your mental energy, you’ll come to realize that you pick up things by just looking and listening. Moreover, computers were invented by humans and so they can’t possibly surpa.s.s humans.”
“Mental energy? Like those mental energies that are described in science fiction films?”
“…Sort of.”
“So you mean that your mental energy has already been successfully stimulated?”
As soon as Qin Ze asked that question, Zi Yi stopped walking.
Both of them had already arrived outside a grocery store.
Zi Yi did not answer him either and stepped inside.
The variety of things in the grocery store was really plentiful. They even had all kinds of spare parts.
Zi Yi picked up many things one after another. By the time they left the shop, Qin Ze’s hands were filled with bags. He said as they walked, “Are you girls really so crazy about shopping? How could you possibly buy so many things in such a short amount of time?”
Zi Yi was amused by his remark and said, “You can find a girlfriend and experience it.”
Qin Ze had an expression of refusal. “I don’t have the time to accompany my girlfriend shopping.”
Zi Yi gave him a sympathetic look and continued walking.
While walking, she said, “We’ll buy a car next.”
Not long after she said that, she saw numerous second-hand cars parked in front of her.
Just as Qin Ze was about to look around, Zi Yi had headed elsewhere.
“Boss, how much are the cars here?”
The boss gave her a price and when he was telling them the price, his eyes s.h.i.+fted between the both of them.
Qin Ze furrowed his brow and asked in a whisper, “Zi Yi, how much did he quote?”
“Ten thousand.”
“Euros? This kind of car that looks as though it’s about to be sc.r.a.pped is so expensive? Why do I feel that the boss is trying to rip us off?”
“It’s not a feeling. He’s indeed ripping us off.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, she quickly gave the boss a price. “Two thousand. Are you willing to sell it? If you are, we’ll drive it away immediately.”
The boss refused her offer.
Zi Yi turned around to leave.
“Hey Zi Yi. There’s only this car shop in this town. Are we really not buying it?”
“The boss will call us to come back.”
Not long after Zi Yi said that, the boss had indeed called out to them.
After they made the payment, Qin Ze drove the car away.
The moment they drove away, the owner of the auto shop called some individuals and said something to them.
Following that, these people followed Zi Yi and Qin Ze.
Qin Ze drove the car back to the hotel and when he alighted, he said to Zi Yi. “I feel that we didn’t only just almost get ripped off, but that auto shop boss is also strange; could it be that he thinks of us as fat sheep to be slaughtered and is secretly following us to rob us of our belongings?”
“It doesn’t matter. After we drive out, we’ll find a deserted place to modify the car, then take care of those people who will try to rob us.”
Both of them went to the hotel to pack up their belongings before they left the town. After leaving, Qin Ze soon sensed someone following them. “Zi Yi, they are really following after us.”
Zi Yi looked in the rearview mirror and said to him, “Drive the car into the woods.”
Qin Ze quickly steered the wheel and entered the woods.
The people behind them had also followed them into the woods.
However, as soon as the robbers entered the forest, two powerful-looking people appeared in front of them. They stopped their cars, forced them out, and started giving them a beating.
“Ow~”
