Both female soldiers looked very serious, and A-Bing didn't dare to say anything. She could only speak to A-Lin from a short distance, "A-Lin, is...is...something...why?"

The timid little female insect named Alin clung to the wall, only her grayish eyes peeking out. He looked at Abing, then at the two unfamiliar female insects beside him, and hesitated before asking, "Abing, are...are they your new friends? Do you need me to help entertain them?"

Ah Bing looked into Ah Lin's eyes, shook his head, and said earnestly, "No need, thank you for your trouble, Ah Lin. They'll only be here for a little while before leaving."

"Oh," A-Lin replied weakly, her little head, which had only peeked out halfway, retreated back inside. A moment later, the sound of footsteps, 'tap tap tap,' came from the other side of the wall, gradually fading into the distance.

The dozen or so residents on both sides, some squatting at their doorsteps, some hiding by their windows, and some leaning against the corner of the wall, were all staring at Mikel and Elijah’s clothes and behavior with curiosity, wariness, or blank stares. They were not distracted at all by the sudden appearance of the little female insect.

Once he was sure his companions were far enough away, Ah Bing looked up at Elijah, who was still clinging to his arm, and asked softly, "Your Excellency...can...we...go now?"

Elijah released him and quickly glanced around. He urged, "Let's go."

Mikel glanced around and immediately noticed that several more residents had gathered to watch. There were quite a few of them, some direct and some subtle. Whatever their motives, he knew he couldn't stay here any longer.

They had to speed things up, Mikel thought to himself.

Mikel walked at the very back, his gaze fixed on the thin, sickly man in front of him.

The conversation between Ah Bing and the other little female insect seemed fine at first glance. But the more Mikel thought about it, the more something felt off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

A-Bing, accompanied by the two tall, long-legged female soldiers behind him, made several turns and finally stopped in front of a low wall that had been broken in half.

He pointed to a dilapidated courtyard in front of him and stammered, "You...you...sirs, this...this...is...the house...where...those...bad guys...lived."

Mikel looked in the direction he was pointing and saw only a dilapidated house piled with garbage. Some unknown junk, old clothes, and empty bottles were all haphazardly piled up in the corner of the empty space.

Elijah frowned in disgust, wanting to complain about something, but when he turned his head and saw their general, he couldn't say anything.

"Those...over there..." Ah Bing pointed to a few small houses on the left and a few small houses on the right, and said, "And...and these...all of them...lived there back then."

As you can see from where Ah Bing pointed, these small houses are all close together, forming a cluster, with a mountain behind them.

Here, the distance from the houses of other residents in the slum is neither too far nor too close. It maintains a distance that is not so great that one might miss any important news.

Abing led Mikel and Elijah around the half-collapsed wall to a small door. He took out his key, opened the door, and went in first.

Looking at this dilapidated little door, it's surprising that such an ancient key is needed to open it. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, keys, such ancient objects, have been obsolete for hundreds of years. It's unexpected that such an ancient object, which is hard to find even among the entire Zerg race, is still used here.

Elijah also thought that this door was just for show and probably couldn't withstand a kick from an adult female insect.

Mikel thought differently from Elijah; he wondered why the key was in the hands of this little female insect.

Mikel's suspicious gaze was too obvious, so A-Bing invited them in while explaining, "That... white-haired... bad guy... before he moved... out... forced... me to... show... him... this... house."

Ah Bing still remembers how that scoundrel viciously pressed his head down, saying in an unfriendly tone, "Little stutterer, you had him wash your hair again? Want to get beaten up?"

At that moment, Ah Bing was being held down and couldn't lift his head, his freshly washed hair was ruined. He was furious but couldn't beat him in a fight or argue. He was so anxious he was about to cry: "No...no...don't touch...my...hair, my mute brother...just washed it..."

"Tch!" The white-haired scoundrel snorted, letting go of Ah Bing's hair in boredom. He then patted Ah Bing's head hard, informing him, "Little stutterer, your mute brother and I are moving."

The little female insect, who was almost knocked off her feet by the powerful slap of the female insect, finally regained her balance when she heard what the big bad guy said. She felt like she had been struck by lightning.

"What?" Ah Bing covered his head with both hands, tilting his head back and staring at the big bad guy with his dark eyes. He asked incredulously, "Dumb brother...why...are you moving...away?"

The tall female insect wearing the mask laughed happily and said matter-of-factly, "Of course I'm moving out, and he's coming with me."

As he spoke, he turned and walked to the wall that hadn't yet collapsed, then nimbly sat down atop it. Looking at the dilapidated houses in the distance, he said, "If he doesn't come with me, does he expect to stay in this run-down place with you forever?"

He knew the big bad guy was right, but the thought of never seeing his mute brother again brought tears to his eyes. He walked over, looked up at the female insect sitting on the wall, and his voice trembled with emotion: "You...you're...moving...where? Will it be...far...far?"

"Ouch!" the female insect on the wall cried out dramatically, "Why are you crying again? If he sees you, he'll say I bullied you again."

"We're just moving to the working-class area, not to the capital. Even if you're reluctant to part with me, there's no need for you to cry, is there?" the big bad guy said in a nasty and narcissistic way.

Sure enough, Ah Bing was furious. Forgetting all about crying, he hurriedly retorted, "Who...who...can't bear to part with you!"

If he could beat that big bad guy, he would have tried to hit him even if he knew he couldn't win. Anyway, since he was hiding with his mute brother, the big bad guy wouldn't dare to fight back, Ah Bing thought to himself.
