The man leading the group returned to the Train and opened a private chat on the screen.
"Ghost Bro, what's up so early in the morning?"
"Old Eight, has anyone been selling you a large number of zombies recently?"
"Coincidentally, my subordinates just received a batch this morning, a few thousand of them."
"What's the source, where are they from?"
"Looking at their attire, they should be from Raccoon City."
Damn it, someone really got there first!
"Old Kuai?"
"No."
"That idiot Egg Tart?"
"Not him either."
"Then who else could it be? There are only a few people in this line of work."
"Let me ask."
Half a minute later.
"It's someone named Qi Xiao, seems to be a newcomer this year."
"Are you sure? A newcomer could nearly empty Raccoon City?"
"I don't know about that, but you know, there are always a few heaven-defying newcomers every year."
"Alright, I understand."
......
After the Train started, Qi Xiao came to the automatic vegetable brushing machine.
Seeing that the plants were still working diligently, Qi Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
Very good, the Raccoon City trait is still present after leaving.
Now the automatic vegetable brushing machine can be considered truly complete.
Qi Xiao had already had Xi Jian transport the bucket of vegetables brushed yesterday to the cold storage, and now the bucket was almost full again.
This bucket will be used for fertilizer; after all, there will be an endless supply of vegetables from now on.
It's just that there are fewer varieties.
Qi Xiao took an empty bucket to replace the automatic composting bucket for collecting vegetables, then dragged the automatic composting bucket aside, closed the lid, and began producing fertilizer.
After he took a shower, he went to the kitchen, ready to get something to eat.
Li Huizi was frying bacon, and she smiled and nodded when she saw Qi Xiao.
Qi Xiao nodded in response.
He saw a prepared sandwich on the cutting board, so he picked it up and took large bites.
The sandwich contained perfectly fried eggs, crispy lettuce, thinly sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and ham.
The tomatoes and cucumbers were even meticulously peeled.
Good, the taste is nice.
"Chief, milk."
Old Six poured Qi Xiao a cup of hot milk, and Qi Xiao took it.
"Where's your Xi Jie?"
"What, missing me after a moment apart?"
Xi Jian pushed the door open, holding a few eggs in her hand.
"Hui Hui, the eggs are here."
After she handed the eggs to Li Huizi, she looked at the empty cutting board.
"No, where's my sandwich?"
Qi Xiao had just swallowed the last bite of the sandwich, and he licked the salad dressing off his fingers, shaking his head, indicating he didn't know.
"You, that was specifically made for me by Hui Hui!"
"Just ask her to make you another one, what are we, strangers?"
Qi Xiao quickly finished his milk, returned to his bedroom, burrowed into bed, and started catching up on sleep.
After an entire night of slaying zombies, his physical strength had reached its limit.
Li Huizi patted Xi Jian's back and showed her the heart-shaped fried egg she had just made.
"Hui Hui is still the best. Qi Xiao is a Turtle King!"
......
Zu'an, Pi City, Moonlight Lane.
The famous snack street of Zu'an Pi City.
The vendors here come from all corners of the world; people and non-humans of all kinds gather here, a mixed bag.
Especially at night, when the colorful light strips and signs light up, they reflect each other, dazzling and mesmerizing.
Kong You and Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng walked through the lively alley, the hawkers' shouts endless.
"dream tea! One sip will let you fulfill all your wishes in the world of dreams, forget all your troubles, and make you the master of your dreams!"
"Iron Plate Dragon Ribs! Select adult gray dragon hind leg meat, firm and elastic!"
"Fresh Demon Sheep Kidneys! One skewer will bring you back to a man's peak, your wife will beg for mercy tonight!"
Kong You wore a well-tailored black suit that accentuated her waistline.
Below, she wore matching suit pants with smooth lines that flattered her legs, paired with black long boots, making her appear extremely capable.
An exaggerated yet not out of place pair of frog-eye glasses covered half of Kong You's face.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng's attire was a bit more casual.
He wore a yellow SpongeBob SquarePants T-shirt, paired with pink Patrick Star patterned beach shorts, and a white baseball cap to cover his yellow hair.
"Just finished ambushing Dream Palace, what happened to the promised rest? Another mission already."
"Every day, it's busier than when I was in Order. And the salary isn't as high as Order's, sigh."
"If you want a raise, talk to the boss, talking to me is useless."
Kong You said coldly.
"By the way, what exactly are we doing in Zu'an?"
"Looking for a 'key'."
"A key? Did the boss lose his car keys?"
"We received intelligence that someone here can make a 'key' to open an eight-level treasure chest."
"Damn, a 'key' to open a treasure chest can be made? If it could be mass-produced, wouldn't we get rich?"
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng's eyes immediately gleamed.
"An eight-level treasure chest key, those are things that have value but no market!"
At this moment, Kong You stopped in front of a stall.
The sign of the stall read in bold, eye-catching letters—Must-Eat in Pi City, Squid Fish Cakes!
The plump boss was seen continuously stir-frying the squid in front of him with two spatulas, occasionally squeezing in some secret sauce.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng's stomach rumbled when he saw it.
"Boss, one serving of the signature Squid Fish Cakes, extra spicy!"
"Alright, fifty order coins a serving."
As the plump boss spoke, he picked up the white towel hanging around his neck and hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng looked at Kong You behind him.
"You'you, do you want some? My treat."
"A glass of ice water." Kong You looked at the plump boss who was making the Squid Fish Cakes. "The ice must be True Ice."
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng was stunned.
True Ice?
The magical ice that is said to never melt?
I didn't expect Pi City to have such a thing.
The boss looked up when he heard her, and looked at Kong You.
"True Ice? Beautiful lady, that stuff has long been banned. You're from the security team, right? Don't test me, I don't have any."
Kong You raised her hand and took off the exaggerated black frog-eye glasses on her face, and said again: "A glass of ice water, the ice must be True Ice."
"Oh, little beauty. I really don't have any, didn't you just check yesterday?"
"I run an honest business, I just earn some hard-earned money. I don't do anything illegal."
Kong You put her sunglasses back on and said faintly:
"The weather is nice today, suitable for walking dogs."
The boss's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he tentatively asked: "How many dogs do you have?"
"Six. Five males and one female. Three large and three small. Two black and four white."
After hearing this, the plump boss quickly leaned out and looked around, and after confirming there was no danger, he turned and opened the cold cabinet behind him.
He took out a glass of ice water that seemed to have been prepared long ago and handed it to Kong You.
"Thanks."
The two walked away from the snack street, and when they reached an uninhabited area, Kong You pulled out the photo hidden in the cup sleeve.
The photo showed a blonde woman with fair skin, a high nose bridge, and rare sapphire blue eyes, looking like a mixed-race person.
Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng raised his hand to wipe the sauce from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn, so you came to get intelligence."
Kong You flipped the photo over, and an address was written on the back of the photo.
Smog City Xia Port District Building 23.
