Mu Xiu Appears!

The origins of Dawn City can be traced back to the chaotic period after the Great Disaster. The creators of the Federation saw the beautiful dawn upon arriving at this land, and thus Dawn City was named.

As one of the oldest fortress cities in the Federation, Dawn City is also one of the most prosperous commercial cities. Three of the top fifty largest consortiums in the Federation are from Dawn City. In this massive fortress city, 28 million people live.

The rest were simple introductions about the economy and people's livelihoods. He Ao quickly scanned through them and then clicked on the keywords he was more interested in.

Great Disaster:

Refers to the great catastrophe that destroyed the prehistoric civilization. A large number of strange beasts and mutated plants suddenly appeared, and the prehistoric civilization was destroyed in one fell swoop. The remaining humans on the entire planet established the original Federation on the ruins of the prehistoric civilization.

Fortress City:

Cities built within high walls to isolate the dangers of the Wilderness are called fortress cities. Currently, over 99% of the Federation's population lives in fortress cities.

Federation (refers to the original Federation's Second District):

The current Federation government is the original Federation's Second District government, composed of 113 fortress cities from the original Federation's Second District and 32 newly built fortress cities, totaling 145 fortress cities (not including 3 fortress cities currently under construction). The total population is approximately 200 million. The President of the Federation is the supreme leader of the Federation, and each fortress city is, in principle, under the jurisdiction of the Federation's central government.

Original Federation:

A unified government of civilization established by humans in the ruins of the Great Disaster, divided into five districts. *Ten years after the establishment of the original Federation, a storm swallowed the sea, communication was cut off, and the other four districts were lost.

Below these entries were detailed explanations of the terms. He Ao quickly scanned through them and closed the windows.

He had originally thought the instance world was a future world, but he hadn't expected it to be a world rebuilt after an apocalypse.

He thought for a moment and tried to search the internet for information about the prehistoric civilization before the Great Disaster, but found nothing.

There were only some fragmented posts on the internet discussing the prehistoric civilization, but without exception, they were all unreliable speculations.

It was as if the prehistoric civilization had been completely submerged in that great catastrophe, leaving no trace.

After a moment of silence, he then searched the internet for 'Talent Sequence', and still found nothing. The search engine displayed only chaotic and irrelevant information. It seemed this information had been artificially 'erased'.

So he searched for 'mechanical modification', and this time a large number of advertisements for Dawn City's prosthetic companies appeared.

He Ao quickly scanned through them, finding no useful information. Just as he was about to search for 'Evil God', a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the car.

Selina sat up instantly, and the electric car door opened simultaneously. Her voice was serious and cold, "Mu Xiu has appeared."

He Ao looked up at the display on the windshield. At this moment, all the surveillance footage had become one. In the center of this screen, a figure marked with a red box and shrouded in a black hood walked step by step towards the casino entrance.

Seeing this figure, He Ao immediately scrambled out of the car door on the other side and chased after Selina's footsteps. At this moment, Selina had already run to the center of the street.

Beep—

A piercing horn sounded, and a large bus drove past Selina.

Selina didn't hesitate at all. With a light leap, she directly flipped onto the roof of the bus, then used the momentum to run a few steps, and then leaped down from the roof of the bus.

A bit cool...

He Ao marveled at Selina's maneuver, then honestly ran across the street using the crosswalk.

The figure in the black hood did not look back, but he seemed to have realized Selina was chasing him. He had been walking slowly, but suddenly burst out with terrifying speed, directly knocking away the people in front of him and darting into the casino entrance.

Selina leaped through the crowd, following closely behind him.

Logically, with Selina's speed, catching the black-hooded figure suspected to be Mu Xiu should have been a simple matter. However, when He Ao chased into the casino, he saw Selina being blocked at the casino entrance.

"Miss Serena, please calm down," the thin man in the silver suit walked out of the casino. "We are currently conducting a 'self-inspection'. Once we are finished, we will naturally let you in to search."

"Get out of the way, I just saw a suspicious person go in."

Selina's face was frosty.

He Ao looked at the man in the silver suit and suddenly found him a bit familiar. He seemed to be the same man who had traded contraband with the Wilderness wanderers a few hours ago.

He Ao had personally seen him being taken away by the Dawn City Police Department.

"He was bailed out," Selina seemed to know He Ao's confusion and explained casually, "Dawn City's bail system allows you to go home early as long as you pay enough bail. You just need to show up for the trial."

Good heavens, it seems money allows you to do whatever you want.

"Get out of the way,"

After speaking to He Ao, Selina looked at the man in the silver suit again, her tone icy. After all, the person suspected to be Mu Xiu had already run into the casino. If he caused a massacre in the casino, it would be too late.

"Ludo, I know you need time to clean up your dirty deals. I won't interfere with your transactions. My goal is just Mu Xiu. You also know Mu Xiu's situation. If we wait until he causes a massacre, it will be too late."

"Miss Serena, look at what you're saying," Ludo chuckled. "We are a law-abiding company operating legal transactions. It's just that we haven't finished our 'self-inspection' yet, so we can't let you in. If we catch 'Mu Xiu', we will personally deliver him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Besides, just because you say there's a suspicious person doesn't mean there is, right? We have to verify it first, Miss Serena, please go back."

"Ludo, you!"

Selina realized at this moment that Ludo was probably holding a grudge over the previous incident and was deliberately making things difficult for them.

"Eek," Ludo took half a step back. "Miss Serena, you look so scary! Are you going to attack us? Is the hero of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who eradicated the Wilderness cult going to assault a law-abiding ordinary citizen?"

"You!"

Selina was directly choked by his words. She didn't have concrete evidence to prove that the person who just went in was Mu Xiu, but her analysis software told her that the person's similarity to Mu Xiu was as high as 98%.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's authority to kill during missions was also limited. Unless the other party pulled out a gun or made a clear attack, she couldn't just point a gun at their head.

However, the moment this thought flashed through Selina's mind, a dark, cold object was pressed against Ludo's forehead.

"Excuse me," He Ao smiled and held the pistol, looking at Ludo's gradually stiffening face. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Ander."

"Investigator Ander, what are you doing?" Ludo swallowed nervously. "Are you threatening a Federal citizen?"

"Mr. Ludo, please let me finish my introduction," He Ao tilted his head. "My name is Ander. My parents died in an accident five years ago. I don't have any siblings, no wife, I'm not married, and I don't have a girlfriend. Of course, I don't have any children either."

He smiled gently, his index finger on the trigger. "If I pull it, I, who am all alone, might face twenty years in prison, while you will go to meet God. Are you willing to trade with me?"
