You Two Started Dating?

Yu Xing had no rebuttal to this reason at the moment.

The researchers have been in this instance for who knows how long. The survivor base should have ample food reserves, but those who stayed in the city will have to find their own food.

Supermarkets are definitely the most popular place for living people, followed by restaurants. Even though the ingredients don't last long, you can always find things like seasonings, drinks, and tea in restaurants.

Zhao Yijiu's reasoning sounds so simple and unpretentious.

"Mercenary companies are a type of bodyguard company in this world. They're allowed to wear weapons, but their locations are kept secret," Zhao Yijiu said calmly. "The company is underground, so not many people can find it. I have a natural advantage."

The implication is that these weapons are hidden in a place that needs to be found, and everyone is at the Despair level, with equal strength but different strengths. Someone like him, who can move freely in the shadows and has exceptional mobility, is well-suited for the task of "reconnaissance" and "searching".

However, there are many ways to find things, such as Zhao Ruru's divination, but she probably hasn't used her abilities in that way.

When Zhao Yijiu entered the underground hiring company, two other people had already arrived around the same time as him. They weren't exactly acquainted, but the good news was that these two had a good relationship with Pojing.

The Widow Investigation Team of a clerk Yan Ming and a fat man Lu Xiaorong.

These two guys seemed to have pretty cheerful personalities. After discovering Zhao Yijiu, they not only didn't show any intention of hoarding the equipment and expanding their advantage, but also took the initiative to invite Zhao Yijiu to join them. However, he refused because he was used to going it alone.

The Broken Mirror Squad had contact with the Widow Investigation Team during the year, and the two teams had a pretty good relationship. Whenever someone did a live-streamed deduction, members of the other team would often interact with them in the chat if they had enough free time.

They knew some of each other's secrets. Zhao Yijiu had been told by Zhao Mou that although the recorder Yan Ming appeared very cheerful and his strength seemed average, he was actually just like Zhao Ruru, hiding his true abilities. In fact, Yan Ming was much stronger than Zhao Ruru.

Zhao Mou had also privately judged that Yan Ming's information gathering ability should be the best in the entire deduction, because the other party's sacrifice was too heaven-defying in this respect, and it was completely in line with his own nature, similar to Qu Xuanqing's Wicked Grace, a supermodel sacrifice.

To prevent her information from being unknowingly recorded by the other party during their time together, Zhao Yijiu pretended to be a loner, but in reality, she was very wary. After taking some equipment, she carried the box and ran away.

After observing the place for a while, he hid the box in the restaurant because it wasn't a very good place. The view was not open, which was not conducive to observing the surroundings. There were too many glass doors, which were fragile and not easy to form a self-defense layout.

Furthermore, the restaurant itself is shrouded in a powerful vengeful spirit virus, so even those powerful enough psychics who think they can challenge this virus contamination will have to consider whether it's worth it.

Zhao Yijiu told Yu Xing all these things, and the clearer she explained, the more Yu Xing felt that Zhao Yijiu had grown up very quickly.

Cautious, resilient, and even psychologically savvy, the child who would easily be tricked and give his batteries to complete strangers in the abandoned factory is gone.

This was indeed a comforting thing, Yu Xing thought. During his absence, Zhao Mou and Carlos must have given Zhao Yijiu a lot of training in cunning.

As Yu Xing listened, he changed his clothes. Compared to the uniform he was wearing and the tattered rags underneath, the allure of a complete set of gear was indeed considerable.

Fortunately, there was no one else in the restaurant, and no security cameras. The table was in the far corner, surrounded by walls and partitions, so he simply took off his coat without hesitation and laughed under Zhao Yijiu's somewhat puzzled gaze, "What's wrong? Never seen a refugee before?"

Zhao Yijiu: "..."

What happened to you that made you look like that?

"It's nothing, just a spatial rift." Yu Xing didn't intend to hide it. After Zhao Yijiu's recent outburst, he remembered Zhao Yijiu's stubbornness.

Zhao Yijiu had previously blamed herself for not being able to help. The kids always felt that it was because they were too weak that they were not allowed to know the tactics in advance.

In fact, most of the time Yu Xing didn't intentionally hide anything from Zhao Yijiu; he just felt too lazy to say anything when it wasn't necessary. However, considering Zhao Yijiu's feelings this time, the unnecessary thing suddenly became meaningful.

Since the topic of the torn clothes came up, Yu Xing simply explained the teleportation array and the inn instance. He explained that the flow of time was beyond his control, and the feelings of people in reality would certainly be different from his.

Yu Xing tore off his tattered shirt, revealing a body without a single wound. His muscles appeared much more toned than usual, greatly reducing the sickly impression he usually gave off. Coupled with his imposing height, he exuded an indescribable, terrifyingly powerful aura simply by standing there.

Zhao Yijiu frowned as she looked at his skin, because Yu Xing's self-healing ability was so abnormal that he would recover quickly every time he was injured.

In that case, as long as he doesn't say anything, no one else will know how terrifying things he has experienced.

"A year has passed in reality," Zhao Yijiu said. "Yu Fengchen's people contacted my brother and told him roughly about your situation underground. Everything else is fine... Qu Xuanqing is most worried about you; she's afraid you won't be able to find your way back."

"Ha, she really has a lot to worry about." Yu Xing chuckled. Qu Xuanqing always seemed to be the kind of daughter who took care of everything at home.

But speaking of this...

His disappearance was too sudden. Zhu Yan must have come looking for him. It's not a big problem. As long as Qu Xuanqing is around, Zhu Yan won't investigate his whereabouts too much.

Zhu Yan had always known that such a special system existed in the world, but he didn't allow her to come into contact with it. When Zhu Yan met Qu Xuanqing, the two girls, who had known each other since childhood, tested each other and then knew what to say and what to ask.

"Speaking of which," thinking of this, Yu Xing still decided to inquire. He put on his vest, changed into tactical pants, and asked, "Brother Jiu, has a girl named Zhu Yan come looking for me?"

"... You mean the other girl you're keeping?" Zhao Yijiu was taken aback, but reacted immediately; he knew, after all.

However, the question did not receive an immediate answer.

Zhao Yijiu's usually gloomy eyes flickered for a moment, and her slender fingers, with their distinct knuckles, were crossed in front of her face.

This unusual behavior made Yu Xing sense something was wrong, and he narrowed his eyes. "... What happened?"

Zhao Yijiu: "It shouldn't be anything serious. She did come. It's just that, before..."

"?" Yu Xing had almost never seen Zhao Yijiu so hesitant before, and immediately sensed that the situation was serious, but Zhao Yijiu said it was nothing serious.

In that instant, countless possibilities raced through his mind, even the most absurd ones. He even tentatively asked, "You two won't hit it off after meeting, and then start dating...?"

"..." Zhao Yijiu's hesitation vanished instantly, veins bulging on her forehead as she looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and complexity. "What are you thinking?"
