I woke up, but I didn't want to get up.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Han attributed it to the medicine that Cun Tou had given her last night.

The drug may have been too strong, as Shen Chengyin doesn't have much strength right now.

Suddenly, Ah Gang sprang to his feet and counted the people in the room.

"Hey, isn't someone missing?"

The buzz cut is gone.

A hint of unease flashed across Jin Ting's face. "He might have left early."

"He had something to do and left... How could that be?" Ah Gang frowned. "Did he run away in the middle of the night?"

Jin Ting was afraid that if A Gang continued to press her for answers, things would get out of hand. So, she took advantage of the moment when Su Han and Shen Chengyin turned their heads and stepped on A Gang's foot.

When Ah Gang noticed Jin Ting's strange expression, he instantly realized that the plan had probably gone wrong, and wisely kept quiet.

Su Han looked at the lively A Gang, sighed, and pushed Shen Chengyin's face off her lap.

I'm just lazy, so I'm just using pure 24k gold!

None of them mentioned the buzz cut again. They packed their things and sat on the sofa to wait.

Jiang Yurou said they could leave today, but without a car, water, or food, they would be doomed even if they left.

Jin Ting couldn't wait any longer. "If Jiang Yurou doesn't come by noon, I'll go look for her."

Before the four could reach a conclusion, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yurou arrived with several of her men, and immediately threw several bags on the floor upon entering.

"It's alright, no one caused any trouble. I've left your things here, and the car is parked at the main gate. You can leave if you want."

Jiang Yurou was still dressed in her usual smart outfit, her gaze sweeping over the group.

Jin Ting and A Gang froze, clearly feeling something enter their heads, wander around their minds, and then leave.

"Oh right, I saw a dead body when I came here. It looked like the buzz-cut man who came with you."

Apart from Ah Gang, no one else was surprised.

"You said he's dead?!" Ah Gang couldn't believe it.

He was perfectly fine last night, how could he be dead today?!

"They're so dead they couldn't be dead anymore; their corpses could be used to make dumplings with a little salt," Jiang Yurou exclaimed. "But I told you when you came that this is a land of freedom, where strength reigns supreme. It's normal that your friends weren't strong enough and got killed."

Ah Gang instantly understood what was going on. He looked at Su Han and Shen Chengyin, then at Jin Ting, and sighed.

He knew the three of them had a mission, but he had never considered taking action.

Shen Chengyin did save him after all. Back then, in that man-eating demolition house, his artery was cut open and he was almost drained of blood.

It was Shen Chengyin who pulled him back from the brink of death.

The image of Shen Chengyin that he saw when he reopened his eyes will stay with him for the rest of his life.

It's just a task; if he doesn't want to do it, he doesn't have to. Anyway, Cheng Yibin won't know that he let the person escape; he can just deny it to the death.

He'd rather be punished and not get those few thousand crystal cores than offend someone as capable as Shen Chengyin.

Jin Ting's heart sank, and she couldn't help but feel grief.

No matter what, we were friends for a long time... and then they were gone just like that.

Su Han went to the bathroom last night. Does that mean the drug didn't work on him? ... Could Su Han have killed that man with the buzz cut?

No... Su Han knows nothing, so why would she target someone with a buzz cut?

Jiang Yurou stood at the door with her arms crossed, listening with great interest to the thoughts in everyone's minds.

She found the team interesting from the first day she met them, and now it seems she was right.

Distrust, fear, gratitude, hatred...

It was even more entertaining than a comedy sketch.

Unfortunately, she didn't like forcing people, so she could only let them go.

Jin Ting wanted to see the crew-cut man's body, but Jiang Yurou said he had already had someone take care of it, and there wasn't even a trace of blood left.

Deaths are commonplace in this military factory, and they are experienced in handling them.

Jin Ting wanted to stay, but A Gang persuaded her to leave, saying that if she didn't leave now, it would be too late.

The four arrived at the main gate of the military factory. There was no signboard; a huge iron gate was supported by thick, gray walls.

From a distance, they could see two familiar cars parked outside. Jiang Yurou hadn't lied to them; the vehicles were intact.

Jin Ting opened the car door, went forward and adjusted all the parts to make sure the vehicle was working properly, then got out and looked at Su Han.

The leader wants Shen Chengyin dead, otherwise they will have no chance of survival if they return to the Fuxing Base.

Jin Ting looked at Su Han, and A Gang followed suit and looked at Su Han as well.

Shen Chengyin's gaze never left Su Han.

With everyone present looking at her, Su Han felt inexplicably pressured.

He knew he had to do something soon, so he gritted his teeth, clutched his stomach, and bent over.

"Ouch, my stomach suddenly hurts."

Jin Ting and A Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

This means you're preparing to find a reason to stay.

There's still hope as long as they don't follow us back to the Fuxing Base.

Su Han's disguise was so convincing that Jin Ting and A Gang, fearing that staying even a second longer would force them to see through each other's disguises, quickly nodded:

"If your stomach hurts, go to the toilet right away. Your health is the most important thing."

"Yeah, make sure you're clean before you come out. We're leaving now, this place is too eerie, I can't stay here any longer." Afraid that Su Han would change her mind, A Gang opened the car door and got in.

Jin Ting also got into the driver's seat and stepped on the gas, spraying Su Han with exhaust fumes.

Suhan:......

This avoidance is as if he were some kind of plague.

Shen Chengyin didn't say a word from beginning to end. Only after Jin Ting and A Gang left did he step forward and press his hand on Su Han's lower abdomen.

"Where does it hurt?"

Su Han was amused by Shen Cheng's provocation.

He thought his lie was clumsy enough, but he didn't expect that there would actually be people who couldn't tell the difference.

"I lied to them. You forgot, I can't feel pain. Even if something stabs into my stomach, it won't hurt."

Shen Chengyin hummed in agreement, "I haven't forgotten."

The two of them are tall and have long legs; they turn heads wherever they stand at the factory gate.

Su Han still remembered Shen Chengyin's arrangement, "We're not going back to Fuxing Base, but going straight to Shuguang Base?"

Shen Chengyin neither nodded nor shook his head, and turned to look at the factory behind him.

"Without a map, we can't find the exact location of Dawn Base. We'll have to ask someone."

"Who should we ask?" Su Han asked curiously.

Just after seeing off a group of big troublemakers, Jiang Yurou, who was sitting comfortably in her office drinking tea, suddenly sneezed violently.

"Damn it, which bastard is trying to get me out of this position now..."

Jiang Yurou wiped her nose and continued looking at the Gomoku game on the chessboard in front of her.

She played chess with one hand and held a low-level zombie crystal core in the other.

The crystal core melted slowly under her manipulation, far slower than Shen Chengyin's absorption speed, but it was still considered outstanding among superhumans.

Jiang Yurou played chess against herself, and the game went back and forth.

Whether Black or White wins, it's still her win. Jiang Yurou calls this way of playing chess "pure and refreshing".

With a loud bang, the door to Jiang Yurou's office was kicked open.
