Chapter 293: Chapter 190 Buy Sugar_3

Jiang Shu thought about the scene for a moment, an octopus mother crawling out of a suitcase or something, the image was too bizarre; his body shuddered, and he felt a bit uneasy.

"Little Ding, have Xiao Jia bring back another suitcase, try to get a bigger one." Jiang Shu then turned around and instructed Little Ding.

He walked out of the bathroom, packed the things he needed to take with him, and put them in a small shoulder bag.

"Wolf, you just stay here and watch over the fish mother, remember not to open the door for anyone." Jiang Shu said to him, then walked to the door.

However, Wolf still followed him every step of the way, his screen read: Although I’m not good at protection, I’m your bodyguard, please allow me to follow you.

"Uh," Jiang Shu intended to say it wasn’t necessary, but after thinking it over, he decided that saying it wasn’t necessary was actually unnecessary, so he nodded, "Then follow me."

Wolf: Thank you.

Jiang Shu smiled, opened the door, and walked out.

As for the fish mother, it would be just as well to leave her in Paperman’s care; her mind was even purer than Wolf’s, and she probably wouldn’t cause any trouble for him.

This morning was the wrap-up ceremony for the film crew, it would start in about half an hour, and the timing would be just right if he headed there now.

——

"Do we really have to go out today?" Among the three, Fang Yue was the first to grow impatient, and he frowned slightly, "The exit checks from the city today are sure to be the strictest."

Today was November 11th, and the Three Major Groups had just executed Clo in the morning, and in the afternoon they announced the lifting of the lockdown on the city districts.

It goes without saying that leaving Thirteen District at this time was sure to undergo strict scrutiny.

After all, there were still some fugitives hiding in Thirteen District, those criminals who had escaped from Special Prison had not been fully eliminated, and under the influence of wishful thinking, these people might intend to leave Thirteen District, this dreadful place, as quickly as possible.

The farther away, the better.

"What’s there to be afraid of? We’re not wanted fugitives on the run." Fox shrugged indifferently, "As long as we don’t wear masks, isn’t that fine?"

"..."

Fang Yue, with a darkened face, took a while to say one line: "I am."

"Oh, I forgot." Fox chuckled, but he didn’t look like he had actually forgotten at all.

The three were now sitting on the rocks of ruins in the suburbs of Thirteen District. After the war started, this place was targeted as a transportation hub, so it was hit immediately with destructive force, and the attacks continued.

As such, nobody came near here anymore.

None of the three were wearing masks, thus revealing their true faces, not caring in the slightest.

In fact, after these three months, they no longer needed to be wary of each other.

In those three months, they had teamed up to eliminate nearly twenty A-class prisoners who had escaped from Special Prisons, and as the war’s impact continued to expand, they decided to establish refuges to shelter civilians affected by the war.

In the combat zones, neither the Three Major Groups nor Clo’s forces were overly concerned with the survival of civilians, who, when their residential areas got in the way of the advancing tanks, both sides would choose to roll over them without hesitation.

During the battle, neither side showed the slightest pity for the civilians; after all, only the victor had the right to demonstrate morality. Before a winner was determined, it was only the civilians’ fault for being in the wrong place.

Fortunately, the Deception Group’s trio had opened nearly ten shelters in these three months, gathering around two to three thousand refugees using food warehouses and other places, establishing a sensible management system.

The difficulties they faced were no less than fighting side by side through life and death. In such circumstances, the three had long since dropped their guard against each other.

"So, what now? You’re going to leave me alone in Thirteen District?" Fang Yue looked at Fox unhappily.

"Are you very scared of being alone?" Fox still spoke in his teasing and joking tone as he stood up and walked towards an off-road vehicle parked on the side of the road, "I’ll leave with you; Devil Wind will take the high-speed rail alone."

"Why?" Fang Yue asked subconsciously.

"My build with his is too conspicuous." Fox stopped, turned his head, and spoke as sunlight outlined his profile in golden contours, as elegant as a god in a painting, "I’ve learned a bit of Disguise Technique from Mu Jin."

"Fine." Fang Yue agreed, somewhat reluctantly; now it seemed there was no other choice. His ability couldn’t be used on himself, meaning he couldn’t change his own appearance.

The fox continued to walk towards the off-road vehicle, loudly proclaiming, "Trust me, I won’t let you get caught."

"Whatever." Fang Yue quickly walked over, muttering under his breath, "I’ll trust you this once."

He also remembered that the man ahead was the fox, the pinnacle of Lonely City’s hypnotism, naturally he wouldn’t rely solely on simple disguise techniques to help him pass through the guarded checkpoints.

---

"Unblocked, huh?" Jiang Shu stared at the message displayed on the Tablet Spirit, slightly stunned.

It wasn’t just the internet that was unblocked, but a full-scale unblocking, and except for a few soldiers posted at necessary checkpoints, nothing was different between Thirteen District and the other areas in terms of communication.

This also meant that everyone in Clover had been completely wiped out.

And he had received Wolf’s message at the first opportunity.

Wolf: It’s over.

Wolf: I’m back.

Jiang Shu could sense a touch of sadness in his tone.

Unlike the Group Armies of the Three Major Groups, Wolf’s police station was only responsible for arresting escapees from the Special Prison, so there shouldn’t have been many casualties.

Only...

Merely looking at these brief two messages, Jiang Shu knew for sure that quite a few police officers must have sacrificed their lives.

Jiang Shu: It’s good you’re back.

Wolf: Yeah, it’s good to be back.

"It looks like it hit him hard," Jiang Shu sighed.

For people outside of Thirteen District, life over the past three months hadn’t been much different from before, aside from a slight increase in prices. Under the premise of complete news blackout, they had no idea what had really happened on the battlefields of Thirteen District.

Jiang Shu could guess what had transpired, but to be honest, it was hard to empathize.

Of course, there were those who spread rumors and looked to profit from the situation, but such news didn’t have much room to spread and wasn’t widely believed.

"Hmm?" He noticed a troop of sturdy middle-aged men on the street corner and was somewhat surprised.

Some of these middle-aged men were walking alone, others were with their children, and some were gathered in groups, laughing and talking.

"You were in the Hawk Eagle Ninth Corps Fourteenth Division too? I’ve never heard you mention it before!"

"Yeah, I’m from batch 147."

"Haha I’m from batch 144, you greenhorn!"

"Get lost, I’ve earned two second-class military merits, ten thousand more than you! What are you worth!"

Jiang Shu stopped in his tracks on the street side, watching these men pass by, momentarily unsure what was happening.

These people...

They all seemed to be veterans? What were they up to?

A father and daughter walking past him seemed to offer an answer to his questions.

"Daddy, what are we doing?" the daughter asked.

"We’re going to get some money," the father replied. "For some reason, Huang Kong has given us quite a bit."

"Then I want candy! Lots of candy!"

"Sure, I’ll buy you the tastiest candy."
