Wu Youren heard the other person's voice, but he pretended not to notice and kept walking quickly away at his original speed.
The SUV slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road, stopping, while he turned and entered a side alley.
Two people got out of the car and quickly chased after them, but when they turned into the alley, they were dumbfounded. "Where is he?"
There were a few pedestrians in the alley, but the boy with the bird was nowhere to be seen.
They asked around and found out that the boy had just walked a little faster and hadn't climbed over the wall or anything.
The two then gave chase, but unfortunately, they lost the other one.
Looking at the bustling street, the two were a little bewildered and quickly contacted their superiors using their wristwatches.
After a few seconds of silence, someone sighed softly, "Never mind, let's come back to the banquet."
After they rejoined the main force, they learned that the boy they had lost track of earlier might be the one that Commander Jeff had ordered to be closely monitored.
However, there was nothing they could do; the incident happened so suddenly that they couldn't be absolutely certain of the other party's identity, and the other party hadn't obviously done anything wrong...
The New Army is indeed very powerful in Liang, but it cannot act recklessly without regard for consequences.
I wonder how many people are secretly waiting to find fault with them!
If the situation were serious enough, they could quickly decide to implement city-wide control and tighten checkpoints, but that's not feasible right now.
Wu Youren learned from the previous "Instructor Burning Blood, smashing up the butcher shop and then running away.
He didn't accelerate instantly, but in the end he was sprinting.
He ran around in circles for a good seven or eight kilometers, then turned a corner before suddenly slowing down and walking as if nothing had happened.
Wu Youren had no idea who the two people who were chasing him were or what their backgrounds were.
But we can't stay in Tianjing anymore, at least not until Little Ha can fly.
Having a pet can be quite a hassle.
He observed the checkpoints on the street and noticed that no one was checking people heading out of the city, so the situation probably wasn't serious.
Even so, he still bought a backpack, put Little Ha inside, and quickly left the city.
Shortly after nightfall, a car pulled up beside the grove of trees, and a person got out.
It was at the intersection of Red Pine Liaison Office Street, that loafing, middle-aged, one-eyed man.
He unloaded several oil drums and drove away, without considering whether anyone was around or if the oil would be stolen.
Upon seeing it was him, Wu Youren Youren's doubts were dispelled; this man was indeed under Chen Quanxu's control.
So, there was no need to check the fuel anymore. He pushed out his motorcycle and began tying the fuel cans together.
He waited until midnight before the Scops Owl arrived, and the two of them returned to the Rust Zone together.
The boy recounted what had happened at noon, and Chen Quanxu was surprisingly concerned about who the one who had awakened was.
But in the end, he sighed, "What a pity, I didn't have a chance to make a move."
"No, you..." Wu Youren was genuinely puzzled. "What's the benefit of controlling him?"
This kind of behavior is basically bordering on Fallen Ability User, isn't it?
The Scops Owl didn't answer until they arrived at their lodgings, at which point it said, "I have some suspicions that need to be tested."
"Sigh," the boy didn't respond, but sighed, "It's not going to Tianjing anytime soon."
"It's not a bad thing," Chen Quanxu replied. "Let's rest."
Two days later, Wu Youren appeared in the wasteland during the day, not riding a motorcycle, but just wandering around carrying a sword and a knife.
The wasteland now has many scattered Weird Qi, which should all be a consequence of that night.
Some people have seen the boy riding the bird occasionally dealing with stray wisps of Weird Qi with remarkable efficiency, which doesn't seem like that of Knight Apprentice.
Some fools tried to do something to him, but the boy was not only tough, but also quick to escape.
Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, fine snowflakes actually began to fall.
The first snow of the year arrived quietly.
Wu Youren returned to the quarantine point; it was really inconvenient to move around in the wild in this kind of weather.
The quarantine site was overcrowded, but luckily he was a student of Red Pine and was able to find an open space to build a shed himself.
I woke up to find everything around me covered in white snow, and the number of people at the quarantine site had skyrocketed.
Not only was accommodation a problem, but food was also becoming an issue, and even the supply of fuel was starting to become strained.
Wu Youren was all alone, but he had secured a nice spot and even had meat strips to feed Little Ha.
Someone else had a wicked idea and sent two Knight Apprentice to test the waters.
These two are young people, and their provocative methods are truly devoid of any skill.
"Hey, people are almost starving, and this beast still has meat to eat?"
Before finding Little Ha, Wu Youren also held this view; he never believed that animals could compare with humans in terms of the right to survival.
If Little Snowhawk hadn't produced that huge blister, he would still think the same way.
But now, things are different.
He retorted rudely, "None of your business, get lost!"
"Huh?" The two Knight Apprentice, who were about to cause trouble, changed their expressions upon hearing this and raised their hands to strike.
Wu Youren showed no mercy, raising his hand to draw his waist knife, and with a swift movement, he slashed twice.
In a single encounter, both Knight Apprentice were wounded.
"Stop!" someone shouted sharply, followed by three figures flashing by.
The three Knight who appeared had already surrounded the boy, creating a three-on-one situation. "You're asking for death!"
It was not only a case of the strong against the weak, but also of many against few. Yet, faced with this situation, the young Knight Apprentice showed no fear whatsoever.
He flashed his wristwatch and said coldly, "You'd better figure out where you are first!"
"So what if they're Red Pine's students?" a Knight scoffed. "Go report to the administrators!"

The managers at the quarantine site are not just Red Pine's instructors.
To be precise, the government was the real dominant force, authorizing the military as the primary administrator.
There are other forces also assisting in the management, but since this place is closest to the Red Pine, they contribute the most.
Upon hearing the news, the military dispatched personnel to the scene, but the party that had instigated the incident turned around and accused the perpetrator.
"This brat violated the rule against using weapons at the quarantine site. Are you going to do anything about it?"
The military doesn't care much about acts of plunder and extortion; in their view, society is a vast jungle.
Let alone quarantine points, even on the battlefield, how many times have we seen cases of looting friendly forces' spoils of war?
Knowing the other party's nature, Wu Youren raised his wristwatch and waved it before the military personnel could speak, saying, "I've already notified the instructors."
It's just calling in reinforcements, anyone can do that.
Before long, Manna, Luo Xi, and Kenpa arrived.
That's why he said he had to make as many friends as possible. The effect of his previous "lavish spending" was evident at this moment.
After learning a little about the situation, the three Knight readily stated that their student had not done anything wrong.
Manna's attitude was the most resolute. "Trying to rob someone even inside the quarantine facility—who's been letting this kind of behavior run rampant?"
She didn't even mention causing trouble; she directly defined the other party's behavior as robbery.
The fact that a single cadet could recruit three Knight made the military realize that it was no longer convenient to pursue the matter further.
After all, the quarantine site is currently facing a shortage of supplies and needs the strong cooperation of the Red Pine Martial Academy.
However, the party that deliberately caused trouble, daring to do this in the quarantine site, must have some connections within the military.
The military could only give a vague answer, saying, "How about this, we'll provide some medical supplies and some compensation, and that'll be it."
"Pay up?" Kenpa frowned. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm absolutely certain," the military personnel said, also annoyed. "We've already been very considerate of Red Pine's feelings."
His anger was not without reason. "From dawn until now, in less than half an hour, there have been more than ten fights."
The Liang have too many terrible memories of snowfall, and when faced with potential hunger and cold, they will instinctively gather supplies.
Faced with these signs of chaos, it is necessary to take some tough measures.
"I disagree," another voice rang out, as Daiqisi had also arrived. "They should compensate our students!"
She coldly stated, "If troublemakers are not punished, there will only be more fights, not fewer!"
"Stop messing around," the man said, a little exasperated when he saw it was her.
Daiqisi is incredibly popular right now.
Previously, she assisted the City Guard Bureau in investigating the case of the Fallen Ability User, which earned her commendation from the authorities and the Martial Academy.
A few days ago, the Weird Qi broke through the blockade, and with the help of Red Pine, she lured out two fallen Ability User Apprentice.
Her previous commendation came at the cost of stepping over the corpses of Fallen Ability User, so it's normal that she'd be targeted by the opposing faction.
Unfortunately, she was bold enough to use herself as bait, attracting another wave of suitors.
She's not only hot-tempered now, but her style of doing things would definitely make her a ruthless person, even in the military.
When the military saw it was her, they were also a bit taken aback. "What's your relationship with this young man?"
Daiqisi completely ignored the two soldiers and looked directly at the three Knight, "Tell me, are you going to pay or not!"
This way of doing things also aligns with her recent public image.
The three Knight exchanged a glance, then turned and left without saying a word.
We'll admit defeat, but expecting them to pay us back... don't even think about it. Great Liang doesn't produce much else, but it has a lot of people who don't believe in superstitions.
Daiqisi glanced sideways at the two soldiers, "You've seen it too, it's not that I'm looking for trouble, it's just that some people are being rude!"
The two soldiers exchanged a glance, unable to say anything, and could only turn and leave.
Daiqisi raised her wristwatch, gave a few instructions, and then looked at the young man, "You actually decided to come back?"
"It's snowing," Wu Youren replied with a smile. "Thank you for taking charge for me, instructor."
"Come on, let's talk," Daiqisi pulled him aside.
Luo Xi looked around and waved to the crowd of onlookers, "Everyone, disperse, disperse."
These people rushed over not because of any personal relationship, but mainly because they were worried that the young man might have dropped something good again.
Before he left Red Pine last time, Manna bumped into him, asked him a casual question, and ended up getting a strange object.
Manna, being young, couldn't resist showing off after getting the benefits, and that's how these other girls found out.
