Chapter 117: Chapter 112 Kelan’s Situation

"Fight a tough battle?" Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi both looked puzzled.

"Yes," Jed nodded, explaining, "Currently, in Kelan City, people must band together to survive. Apart from our Tower, there is another force in Kelan City. They’re nameless because they’re completely controlled by a man named Lair, so we call them Lair’s lackeys."

Mentioning that name, Jed’s expression dimmed slightly.

He continued, "Lair is brutal. He breaks limbs if displeased, and in more severe cases, he kills entire families. However, he has a sufficient amount of weapons and Suppressant. Thus, even though there is always a danger of death around him, his place is still the safest in the city. Unlike the Tower, we oppose him, so Lair has always seen us as a thorn in his side."

"So, you mean to fight them?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Not exactly fight," Jed corrected, "but to compete for airdropped supplies. The Humanitarian Organization drops supplies here periodically to declare to the world that there are still living people here. These supplies often include crucial Suppressants, which we desperately need. However, Lair wants to monopolize the supplies to maintain his rule, so we in the Tower have no choice but to confront them."

Then, Jed cautioned Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi:

"Even in this city, humans are always the most terrifying beings. Remember, never trust anyone too easily, including me."

"..."

Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi remained silent, not having fully grasped Jed’s warning and unsure of how to respond.

Fortunately, someone would remember it for them.

"In any case, the mission is most important, let’s take a detour first, and later I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the Tower. Also remember, you absolutely must not say you are agents. I can accept your identities, but that doesn’t mean others will."

Saying this, Jed turned the steering wheel and headed in another direction.

Soon, Jed drove the car to a spacious crossroad, where many cars were already waiting.

As Jed arrived, those vehicles immediately made way for him, and at the same moment, another car came from the opposite direction.

Both cars approached and then came to a stop simultaneously.

Following that, the door of the opposite car opened, and a middle-aged man, about the same age as Jed, walked over with a cheerful face.

"Jed! You finally made it! Without you, we all feel insecure!"

Jed also got out of the car and walked toward him.

"That’s an exaggeration, Karim."

Saying so, Jed bumped fists with this man called Karim. It seemed that the two men were quite close.

"...Oh?" Soon, Karim noticed there were others in Jed’s car and asked, "You’ve got two more people in your car, who are they?"

At that moment, Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi also got out of the car and faced Karim.

"...Such young folks, still students, I guess?" Karim’s expression stiffened slightly upon seeing Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi.

Jed looked at Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi and pointed at Karim, introducing them, "His name is Karim; he is the leader of the Tower. He’s the right person to go to if you need anything."

Then, Jed looked back at Karim and fabricated smoothly, "They are survivors I encountered on the road. I lent them my equipment so they could defend themselves. Now that we have two more people, it could also solve our problem of being short-handed."

"...Short-handed?" However, hearing this, Karim’s expression changed, "Jed, are you planning to let them join us in competing for the supplies? With these two young people? I don’t think they’ll be of much use."

"...Really?" Xiao Yi remarked,"This frail girl indeed shouldn’t be on the battlefield, but I, at the very least, have some combat ability."

Xu Woshi: "?"

"It’s natural for young people to be proud," Karim said, "but you must see the reality and understand your own capabilities. You two youngsters should gather more experience and live a few more years before trying to show off."

Hearing Karim’s words, everyone in the live broadcast couldn’t help but laugh.

[See reality? Funny～]

[Hope you can maintain this defiant attitude when you later beg for help from Brother Xiao Yi.]

Jed was unaware of Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi’s true strength, but seeing that they were agents sent by an organization and had dealt with a Sniper, their capabilities were indeed not to be underestimated.

However...

"I also believe it’s too dangerous to let you join us in competing for the airdropped supplies," Jed told Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi. "Just go to the Tower first, and if your abilities prove solid, then please help protect the Tower."

Just like Karim, Jed was averse to sending young people on potentially fatal missions, which is why they unanimously decided against taking Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi along.

Since Jed, their guide, said so, Xiao Yi, and Xu Woshi had little to say otherwise; after all, their primary goal was to find the Doctor.

Jed addressed Karim, "Karim, could you arrange a vehicle to take them to the Tower?"

Karim nodded and immediately arranged a car to send them to the Tower.

Then, Jed, Karim, and the other vehicles all headed towards the likely landing spot of the supplies to prepare for the competition.

On the road to the Tower, Xu Yingguang took this opportunity to sift through the confirmed intelligence for Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi.

Xu Yingguang mentioned, "Firstly, from the way the rule document describes the military immediately taking action to build high walls after the virus outbreak, we can infer that the virus was manufactured by the military, likely due to some bio-experiment gone wrong. They were obviously well-prepared otherwise such efficiency wouldn’t be possible."

"Furthermore, from what Jed mentioned and his reaction, he is one of the missing agents mentioned in the rule document; as for the other agent, that should be the person named Lair. They presumably split for some reason and are now opposed to each other, having lost contact with the Humanitarian Organization. But let’s not worry about this for now; we will inquire further from Jed later. Your target is to find that scientist, the ’Doctor’ as mentioned by Jed. Based on his information, the Doctor is inside the Tower, so pay more attention to the people inside the Tower when you’re there."

This instance was pretty easy for Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi; anyway, Xu Yingguang would handle these matters for them.

However, there was one thing Xu Yingguang felt it was better not to mention yet—about the background of the instance in which Xiao Yi and their associated Humanitarian Organization were possibly not conducting this operation just to cure the virus and save people.
