Xiao Moshan and Hua Xiezhi both looked utterly bewildered as they watched the three city guards sprint out of the mud-brick house.
A few seconds later, Hua Xiezhi spoke in disbelief. "At a time like this, someone still dares to attack the City Garrison?"
Public order in the Tian-character District was considered the best among the various districts, yet in past years, plenty of people had still gone up against the City Garrison.
But not long ago, a large number of Awakened Ones had arrived, along with huge quantities of weapons and equipment. Anyone who dared to cause trouble had been suppressed.
Wastelanders were indeed fierce and ruthless, but they were not brainless. Most people without any sense of the situation did not live long.
Although public order in the Tian-character District had not improved noticeably lately, absolutely no one dared provoke the city guards.
"I find it strange too," Xiao Moshan muttered softly. Then his eyes suddenly lit up. "The Awakened Ones are gone!"
Without Awakened Ones to hold the fort, the City Garrison was nothing in their eyes.
"This seems like an opportunity," Hua Xiezhi murmured.
She felt a flash of inspiration pass through her mind, but she could not grasp it. "Can we do something?"
"The Small Town exits are sealed off by the city guards." Xiao Moshan returned to his half-dead look. "Don't do anything for now."
"But..." Hua Xiezhi hesitated before speaking. "What if he's here?"
Xiao Moshan fell silent. Only after a long while did he speak. "I'll go out through the Underground Passage and take a look. I'll be back as soon as I can!"
While the two discussed matters here, more than fifty kilometers away, a figure wielded a blade like lightning as he pursued and slaughtered a group of elite warriors.
