Life Dungeon Game

Reed placed his tablet on the table and looked at the officer beside him.

He's at the police station now.

The officer responded somewhat awkwardly.

"?"

Reid was taken aback.

What happened? Has the truth come out? Did all the previous bribes stop working? Has the situation at the store changed drastically?

"That guy installed cameras in his house and set up automatic alarms,"

The officer could tell from Reed's expression that he had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "Ax was caught red-handed as soon as he went in, and he's still at the police station. He can't escape the charge of burglary."

······

Reed paused for a moment, then took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Mr. Reed, should we...?"

The officer opened his mouth, asking Reed if he wanted to pull the person out.

"What do you want me to say?"

Reid took a drag of his cigarette. "Call the police chief of Limen City and say that one of my men has been arrested. He broke into someone's house and got caught red-handed? Even petty thieves don't get arrested for doing something like that, but my man got arrested, caught red-handed!"

The officer dared not speak.

"Then there's no need to wait until tomorrow; the entire company will know about my joke this afternoon."

Reed sighed, got up and walked to the window. "Attempted burglary won't keep you locked up for long. You'll either be detained or sentenced to community service. Have someone post some bail and get him out first."

"it is good."

The officer nodded.

"So Pete really isn't home?"

Looking out the window at the street scene, a cigarette dangling from his lips, Reed asked in a slow voice.

Clearly, this was a deliberate arrangement by the other party. They anticipated that he would send someone to investigate and deliberately provoked him. If the charge was slightly serious, they could directly use the group's resources to resolve the matter.

However, using the power of the group for such a minor crime would make him appear incompetent.

He could only swallow this bitter pill, pretend nothing had happened, and pay bail to be released.

Although it wasn't a big deal, it was certainly very provocative.

This was a covert confrontation, and he suffered a slight loss.

"Mr. Reed, shall we begin the search?"

The officer slowly stood up and walked behind Reed.

At this moment, Reed had finished his cigarette. The officer took out an exquisite cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Reed.

Reed glanced at him, took the new cigarette, and casually tossed the empty butt aside.

The officer reacted quickly, catching the cigarette butt and extinguishing the embers in his palm.

Reed looked up at him again, bowed slightly, and brought the new cigarette in his hand to his lips.

The officer quickly took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Reed.

As wisps of smoke rose again, Reed chuckled. "Zadi, the new batch of mercenaries transferred from the Star Mercenary Group will be under your command for the time being."

“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Reed,” Officer Zadi said with a smile, then cautiously asked, “And what about that Pete…?”

"That guy has a daughter and owns property in the city. Since he didn't leave by airship, a normal person would try to hide somewhere in the city and wait for the storm to pass."

Reed turned around and looked out the window.

"Then I will immediately send someone to investigate,"

Zadi straightened up and bowed. "As long as he's still in the Limen Market, he can't escape!"

“Don’t rush,” Reed said slowly, “What if he’s not at the store?”

Zadi: "You mean...?"

“A normal person would think of hiding in the city, but clearly, that guy wasn’t normal. From the very beginning, he was extremely cautious.”

Reid paused, narrowing his eyes slightly. "A powerful C-rank can live quite comfortably even in the wilderness..."

"But we don't have any C-level combat power right now. Mano was killed by him. We can still try to use the city's defense forces while we're in the city..."

Zadi said hesitantly.

“No, we do,” Reed slowly turned around, looked at Zadi’s bewildered face, and casually handed him an electronic key.

"Go to the safe on the bottom floor of the research institute and take five of the latest C-VII enhancement drugs. Then send a test team to the wilderness. There are only a few gathering places for wanderers around Limen City. People can't live without a community."

“C-Ⅶ

"?" Zadi's pupils contracted slightly. "The group's experiment was a success?"

"This effect only lasts for ten minutes, it's far from enough."

Reed glanced at him. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Okay, okay."

Zadi nodded vigorously, "I'll take care of it right away."

Andavi Family Camp

The elderly doctor seemed to notice He Ao watching him. He looked up in He Ao's direction, smiled and nodded slightly, and then continued his rounds.

He Ao paused slightly.

There was no hostility in the old man's eyes.

This is rare among wilderness wanderers. Living in the wilderness inevitably involves fighting monsters and deceiving each other. Their hands are stained with blood to varying degrees. With many creatures killed, it is inevitable that their eyes will develop a fierce and ruthless aura.

He Ao glanced back at the middle-aged man. "Doctors don't participate in hunting and fighting?"

The question left the middle-aged man slightly bewildered. He looked at He Ao in surprise and nodded gently. "The family's doctors only need to treat the sick and save lives; they don't need to participate in hunting and fighting."

While listening to the reply, He Ao glanced around the second floor and asked softly, "How did you select the doctors? Could you tell me?"

"I'm sorry, this is an internal family matter."

The middle-aged man smiled apologetically.

"fine."

He Ao shook his head and didn't press the matter. In fact, even without the middle-aged man's explanation, he could roughly guess how the Andavi family selected their doctors.

extraordinary.

Most of the doctors on the second floor are superhumans, but some are weak and some are strong. For example, the old doctor just now was very likely a D-level superhuman.

Given this extraordinary proportion, even if the talent sequence can be inherited, the number of extraordinary individuals in the Andavi family is still quite terrifying.

This family should already have a complete training system that can selectively cultivate those who are suited to certain specific talent sequences.

He Ao's gaze shifted to the wooden staircase in the corner of the second floor. This staircase had been fitted with an electronic lock that required identity verification, preventing people on the second floor from going up.

He Ao looked at the electronic lock and asked softly, "May I go up and take a look?"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He had just rejected He Ao's question, so it would be impolite to refuse again now.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a walkie-talkie. "Wait a moment, let me ask the clan chief."

"Ok."

He Ao nodded slightly.

While the middle-aged man continued to question the clan chief, He Ao's gaze swept carefully over the medical staff coming and going.

"Dad, all these people have such light-colored hair."

Annie peeked out from behind him.

Although the hair of the Commonwealth people comes in many colors, the shades are generally even, with most people having a hair color in the middle range. Those who are too dark or too light are in the minority.

There is no fundamental difference between wilderness wanderers and city dwellers. Theoretically speaking, the hair color that He Ao saw in the Andavi family should be similar to that in the Limen City.

However, in reality, the members of the Andavi family all have very light-colored hair.

The hair color of the medical staff in the hospital is even more striking than that of ordinary people outside the community.

It needs to be even shallower.

However, people in the same family are more or less related by blood, so it is possible for them to have similar physical features.

He stood next to Aini and nodded slightly, indicating that he had also noticed the color of these people's hair.

“Mr. Pete, the chieftain said you can go up for a visit,” the middle-aged man returned quickly, “but there are some dangerous medicinal herbs collected up there, so you may have to be careful when you visit.”

"it is good."

He Ao nodded in understanding.

The three of them passed the identity verification and entered the third floor of the hospital.

The third floor is smaller than the first and second floors, but unlike the first and second floors, it is not divided into two areas.

Along the outer wall are open workbenches arranged in a certain pattern.

In the very center of the floor, there are rows of curved shelves that are arranged in a nested circular pattern, like bookshelves in a library, filling the central area.

The shelves were filled with strange plant or animal parts.

These appear to be the 'dangerous medicinal materials' the middle-aged man was just referring to.

Some people dressed in pure white lab coats were moving back and forth between these workbenches and shelves.

Among these people are both extraordinary and non-extraordinary individuals.

He Ao walked step by step toward the shelves in the very center of the third floor.

But before he could even get close to the shelves, a feeling of hunger rose in his heart.
