At the entrance of the orphanage, in front of the guard room.
"I said we should have stayed at the place of those siblings..." Zhuge Ning muttered to himself.
"You can shut up, you're the fastest one to leave," retorted Ma Yunyang.
"That's because I'm scared of ghosts..." Zhuge Ning argued.
"..." Ma Yunyang covered his forehead and didn't intend to argue further.
Because just now, Ma Yunyang used magnetic "iron flight" to travel very quickly. In a few minutes, he crossed the campus and arrived at the school gate. So when the fog came, the two hurriedly took shelter in the guard room.
(By the way, the school faces north and south.) Fortunately, the two of them had plenty of food stored in the storage compartment, having just stocked up on many essentials at the supermarket, so being trapped in the guardhouse for ten days or half a month was not a big problem. But unfortunately, just now something attacked this ten-square-meter small house.
Yunyang looked at the house patched up with random pieces of metal around it, feeling a little scared. Just now, something cut across the corner of the house, slicing off a piece of it like cutting a cake.
"Anyway, there won't be any concrete-cutting monsters over there with the siblings..." Zhuge Ning murmured.
"Alright, alright, we've already left, going back would be too embarrassing~"
"Saving face is not as important as our lives..."
"...What if that monster hears us and turns back to attack us? So stop making noise, or I'll throw you out," Ma Yunyang threatened, annoyed by the noise.
Zhuge Ning quickly shut up and squatted by the bed with a resentful look on his face.
The scene was like something out of "Me and My Resentful Little Brother."
Ma Yunyang shook her head, trying to clear her jumbled thoughts and carefully ponder a way to break the deadlock.
"Ah..." Ma Yunyang scratched her head. "There are still too few clues. I can't figure out the relationship between the zombies and the mist, and the relationship between the monsters in the mist."
" What's the use? Like that monster just now, we couldn't even see its full appearance, and you probably can't defeat it either..." Zhuge Ning said pessimistically.
Ma Yunyang helplessly changed the topic, "Only by knowing the rules can we avoid this kind of fog. What if we were just on the highway? There wouldn't even be a place to hide!" Ma Yunyang also doesn't look optimistic about the road ahead.
Suddenly, Zhuge Ning's eyes lit up: "How about we stay a few more days to figure out the pattern before we leave? It seems like this fog doesn't enter the room."
Ma Yunyang retorted, looking at him: "Did you forget what I just said? When it comes to animals, it's not something to be taken lightly."
"That's just your wild guess, boss..." Zhuge Ning pouted.
"Smack!" Ma Yunyang slapped his head. "Can you focus? We forgot the conclusion of our discussion on the initial mission just now?"
Zhuge Ning protected his head and answered, "No, the longer the time, the stronger the ability..." "Then it's settled, the longer you leave the real world, the stronger the ability you gain."
Ma Yunyang glanced at the watch, "Calculate for yourself, if it's been several hours since 6 in the morning." Zhuge Ning turned pale.
"Ma Yunyang comforted again, 'Of course, animals are very likely to waste time because they don't understand the concept of tasks due to their lack of human understanding.' Zhuge Ning breathed a sigh of relief, 'Brother, you should have said that earlier. You scared me.'"
"However, we cannot be sure that the disappearance of reality is related to time and powerful forces," Ma Yunyang sighed, "which means that even if animals waste time, it is possible for individuals that we cannot match to appear..."
"...Big brother, you might as well kill me. I can't stand your heavy breathing," Zhuge Ning said speechlessly.
"Ma Yunyang rolled her eyes and said, 'After all that, all I want to say is that we can't stay here to explore the rules and then leave, because the mutated ocean is really dangerous...' 'So what should we do? We can't just charge into the gray mist. I'm not concrete, I can't withstand cutting...' Zhuge Ning said fearfully."
Pa, Ma Yunyang gave him a pat on the head again, and looking at Zhuge Ning's resentful eyes, he felt much better.
"I originally wanted to drag a house away, but just now I tried to use up energy in the guard room and probably can't hold on for long. After all, Magneto can't drag a stadium away... so we can only try to walk along the house as much as possible and go inside when the gray mist comes." Ma Yunyang explained his plan. Zhuge Ning nodded, indicating that what his big brother said was right.
Moreover, Huangpu Xin called Chenhao before the fog dispersed, and the two of them packed up and asked for the specific location of the military area before preparing to hit the road.
During this period, Tiangang repeatedly tried to persuade Huangpu Xin to stay, but Huangpu Xin had made up his mind to leave, so there was nothing more to be done.
"What should we do next? Should we go to the military region first or to my family's home in G province?" Chenhao asked Huangpu Xin.
"First go to the military area and decide based on the situation. When the time comes, whether it's me displaying power to intimidate everyone, or you directly controlling people, it's more convenient..."
"No no no, why do you have the look of wanting everyone to be villains? It seems like the military hasn't offended us, right?" Chenhao hurriedly stopped Huangpu Xin.
Huangpu Xin patiently explained, "We are going to the military district in order to contact the court. The situation is unclear at the moment, and we need more information, which the official channels can provide. As for using power to pressure others, it's to make them understand your value. It can save us a lot of trouble."
Chenhao nodded and asked, "Then why use two different methods?"
"If the military region is still under official control, by demonstrating our power and gaining the attention of the court, we will be incorporated into the central government. Then we will be considered public servants. You can go home conveniently, and I can conveniently recover, killing two birds with one stone. But if the military region has already experienced a superhuman disturbance, then you can directly search their brains for information, and we can slip away without getting involved."
"Um, it seems like I just said that the control over abilities is not yet in place, right..." Chenhao stopped the wheelchair and turned to look at him.
"Yes, I haven't forgotten," Huangpu Xin did not deny, "This means that the person whose brain you searched may become an idiot, but that's already a chaotic situation. Turning those people into idiots might still be a good thing, so try to look at it positively," Huangpu Xin comforted.
"…Well, I hope you're doing the right thing," Chenhao felt that Huangpu Xin was not right, but had to admit that the consideration was relatively comprehensive.
"And speaking of the court... there's a question," Huangpu Xin said.
Chenhao: "?"
"I also signed a contract for 'Zone A'," Huangpu Xin said in a deep voice.
"!" Chenhao was shocked. "You... that's not right. You're from Zone A, how can you freely enter and exit the school?"
"It's off the books. I fooled the censors with my acting, and there are some other reasons..." Huangpu Xin's eyes wandered.
"Oh, so doesn't that make you a secret agent for the court?" Chenhao joked.
"Get lost, I'm just a peripheral information officer. What's the use of intelligence in this situation? That damn contract, let's just pretend it doesn't exist." Huangpu Xin sighed, he didn't expect to break free from the control of "Zone A" in such a bizarre way...
Looking back at the guard room.
And the two of them took turns resting, and Zhuge Ning just got up.
"Ah ha~"
".... What are you barking at?" Ma Yunyang looked at the disheveled Zhuge Ning with disdain.
"...." Zhuge Ning noticed that the boss was in a bad mood and was very tactful not to speak, just resentfully looking back.
"Your expression. Let's go, the fog should be clearing soon. Get ready," Yunyang tidied up and prepared to leave.
"Okay," Zhuge Ning got up, tied his hair into a bun, and straightened his Daoist robe.
"Sigh, hey, I just realized, what did you bring out from inside? It's not just this robe, right?" BoMa Yunyang looked at his old robe in confusion.
"No, I also brought out a peach wood sword..."
"That's okay, it's still useless," Yunyang waved his hand.
"...Speaking of which, didn't you also not bring anything out, boss?" Zhuge Ning suddenly noticed a blind spot.
But then Yunyang nodded, "So? Can you beat me?"
"..." Zhuge Ning realized that he might be a little useless...
