Chapter 175: Chapter 173: No Mask Allowed_1

The soldiers did not attack. They just stood there, staring at Tang Ye’s still body, unsure about his next move.

His huge figure alone felt overwhelming.

One of his tentacles reached out towards a window, an eye in the center catching a glimpse of hope. It was as if he was longing for something, something that he himself was not aware of.

He had been at the Yindan base for a few days now and already knew that Ning Yu’er had gone to Huachen Jiangtian. He could not possibly follow her there. Despite being slightly prepared for this, knowing that what he planned to do was hopeless still left a void in his heart.

But then...

As he drew close to the glass, the young girl of about twelve or thirteen inside was startled and fell onto the floor. Seeing this, Tang Ye’s heart skipped a beat!

He didn’t know why he was feeling this way. A wave of loneliness swept over him and disappeared almost instantly, leaving him feeling empty.

The scared look on the girl’s face reminded him of Chu Yunxuan when she was a child.

Silently he withdrew his tentacle, and Tang Ye’s flesh started to rotate and shrink back to its normal size.

His white eyes calmly watched the three people. At this moment, Yan Jie suddenly knelt down with one hand on the ground and the other on his leg, saying, "Yes, as I’ve said before, no matter who our leader is, I will always follow."

His eyes fluttered as he looked at the ground, then became firm. Tang Ye remained silent for a long moment, until Yan Jie, desperate for a response, raised his head only to find that Tang Ye had already walked past him, uttering in a neutral tone, "Okay, let’s go..."

Several silhouettes disappeared into the darkness as dawn broke, shattering the thick darkness. No one knew what Tang Ye was thinking, but at the same time, the sunlight was also shattering numerous people’s dreams.

After waking up, they had to face the harsh reality yet again!

I’m not sure when it started, but my seasons no longer included spring and autumn, only summer and winter remained. I hate summer because it’s too hot, it makes me irritable and sweaty. I prefer winter. Although it’s cold, I can snuggle under the covers for warmth...

After Tang Ye left, numerous people came to investigate the area that had been devastated by him.

The few armed helicopters that Tang Ye brought down crashed, causing shockwaves from the explosives that affected many. The area was filled with cries and shouts, everyone mourning the loss of their loved ones.

Yet no one paid them any mind.

As daylight broke, people began to emerge on the streets, incredulous about the events of the previous night. Zombies had infiltrated the base, they thought, but by now those zombies would have been eliminated.

The Yindan base was more subdued than usual that day, with platoons of patrolling soldiers marching down the street. It was unusual to see soldiers patrolling the streets, which caused a fair bit of confusion among the residents.

Some people plucked up the courage to address their concerns to the soldiers, but the soldiers remained tight-lipped. They didn’t say a word and just shoved those inquirers away.

In the poverty-stricken streets of the base, crowds gathered. It was good day for these survivors as the government was distributing relief porridge. They had arrived early at the designated location to obtain their share of food. It would ensure their survival for another day, and if they were lucky, they could potentially evolve into new humans and lead a superior life.

Wanted posters filled every lamppost and wall on the street. On them were images of Tang Ye and his companions. Some looked at them curiously and moved on, shaking their heads. Some, captivated by the reward, wished they could encounter these individuals right there and then. But when they saw that these were new humans, one of whom was labeled as a Level 2 with a question mark, they immediately chickened out. A few ordinary people might be able to kill a Level 1 new human, but nobody dared to provoke a Level 2 new human without knowing their capabilities!

At that moment, an individual stood out from the crowd. Wearing a mask and a hoodie that concealed his face, his presence drew everyone’s attention. Sinister smiles spread across many faces, yet no one dared to make a move!

Upon seeing this masked figure, people rushed to alert the patrolling soldiers.

As Yan Jie walked down the street, he noticed the other people staring at him. He wondered what could be wrong. People in the base wore masks all the time - what was wrong with him wearing a mask and hood? Why were they all staring at him?

The heavy atmosphere made Yan Jie uneasy, so he quickly turned into an alley. The crowd saw his movement and quietly followed.

However, to avoid drawing Yan Jie’s attention, they kept their distance.

They trailed behind him at a safe distance.

Yan Jie had been walking for quite a while when he suddenly turned around at a corner and saw a group of people sneaking around. It was hard not to notice such a large group!

Seeing this, Yan Jie sensed trouble and realized that his movements might have aroused suspicion, leading to him being followed.

He quickly disappeared around a corner and started running. But before long, a dark figure emerged from an alleyway.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

The figure shouted, pouncing on Yan Jie unexpectedly and taking him down. By the time he reacted, a cold blade was already pressed against his neck.

"Let’s see who you are!"

The figure growled, pulling down the mask and hood from Yan Jie’s face. But when he saw Yan Jie’s identity, he was taken aback and cursed unwillingly, "Damn, I knew it was you!"

"Who are you?"

Yan Jie instinctively reached for the ground, but then realized he hadn’t brought any weapons with him. He was unarmed.

"Don’t you recognize me?"

The man spoke in confusion. Only then did Yan Jie take a good look at him. This was the same man who he had met with Zhang Zhineng more than ten days ago, the same man who had said Yan Jie could come to him if he needed anything.

"I... I recognize you!"

"You get up first! Just my luck, I thought I could get some bounty, but instead, it was you...damn!"

Zhang Zhineng grumbled, helping Yan Jie up. "Follow me, you’ve got a bunch of people tailing you. Boy, you’ve got guts. Even after being wanted, you dare to show up wearing a mask."

"So I shouldn’t have worn it? Should I have just showed my face?"

"Uh... Looks like you haven’t got the news yet. This morning an announcement was made prohibiting anyone from wearing masks. Anyone who does will be treated as a counter-revolutionary!"
