Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look outside the cell.
Only then did they notice the obedient Passerby A standing by the door.
He raised his right hand, the cell access card held between two fingers.
Slacking on the Sidelines his forehead and said, "I forgot about you again."
Not only the Hunter, but even the accompanying soldiers failed to notice the presence of Passerby A.
So much so that he never even went to jail.
Before the soldier left, he also casually took the access card into his hand.
The person Slacking on the Sidelines gave a thumbs-up to Passerby A outside the door.
"Well done!"
[ Yao Yuan: There are many of us, and if too many people go out, it will be easier to be discovered]
[ Scholar: There should be surveillance equipment in the room]
[ Fairy: I can temporarily disable all surveillance cameras]
[ Beast Tamer: I'll go out alone. I'll enter the Shelter Space later. Fairy shield, Passerby A, open the door.]
The group quickly reached a consensus.
Qin Ze was in charge of going out to explore, while Passerby A waited outside the door with the key to meet him.
With a flick of her wrist, the Fairy revealed a budding rose in her palm.
As the roses bloomed, their rich fragrance instantly filled every corner of the room.
Qin Ze immediately entered the Shelter Space.
Passerby A swiped his access card to open the cell door.
After Qin Ze left, he immediately closed the door again.
The Fairy has removed the shield.
The Taoist placed the wooden puppet on the bed beforehand and covered it with a blanket, pretending that Qin Ze was lying on it sleeping.
And so, without anyone noticing, Qin Ze secretly slipped out of the prison cell.
The fortress's internal defenses were extremely lax.
Qin Ze took a quick stroll around and didn't even see many patrolling guards.
In a secluded corner, he unleashed the Thousand Faces.
Thousand Faces stretched. "It's time for the Son of the Version to make his appearance again."
Do you have a spare mask?
Qin Ze said calmly, "You're not even human anymore, what are you afraid of, Corruption?"
Thousand Faces: "They have no conscience whatsoever."
"Let's go, let's go."
After saying that, he turned and walked toward the tallest building in the fortress.
Qin Ze continued to wander around the fortress.
He strolled around, glancing at people as he went.
Two hours later, he had toured the entire fortress.
They had a thorough understanding of the defensive structures and the numerous entrances and exits throughout the area.
At the same time, he released nearly a hundred clones.
This includes one-third of the Self-Destruct Squad.
Just in case.
"I wonder who was it that confidently said they didn't need us? The boomerang came too fast."
"Remember that, bro. No matter what, only we can carry you to new heights."
"This fortress is so boring, it's not even as big as a toilet. I want to go outside for a walk."
Me too.
"That cannon is so cool, I want to fire a shot at it."
"..."
The clones are a bunch of restless creatures.
They were all eager to try it out as soon as they were released.
Qin Ze warned, "You all better stay put in the sewers."
The clones curled their lip in disapproval.
[ Beast Tamer: I'm home]
Qin Ze used the Shelter Space as cover to return to his cell.
It's the same old routine.
Passerby A opens the door, Fairy blocks the surveillance cameras.
After Qin Ze returned, Slacking on the Sidelines eagerly asked, "How was it? Did you find anything?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze said calmly, "Let the bullets fly for a while."
The others were unaware of Qin Ze's specific abilities, only assuming that he had planted some kind of information-gathering Martial Artifact outside.
Slacking on the Sidelines around on the sofa, saying, "In my opinion, we should just rush out and save time."
The Scholar said, "You'd better not offer your opinion."
"I just heard the door open. Is it lunchtime?"
A groggy voice came from next door, as if the person had just woken up.
[ Passerby A: There's someone in the cell next to yours, I just saw it too]
[ Passerby A: There were two people in total, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, both wearing blue jackets with the number 20 on their chests.]
Based on the description Passerby A, Qin Ze was able to determine the other party's identity.
The classic blue jacket clearly indicates he's a resident of the shelter.
[ Beast Tamer: Do they have a similar administrator terminal as me?]
[ Passerby A: Fatty Gao has one]
[ Beast Tamer: Emerging from the Refuge]
Qin Ze now understood why the prison cell had been decorated so luxuriously beforehand.
It turned out that some shelter residents had indeed arrived here before them.
The fortress was prepared for any eventuality, so they renovated a few more prison cells.
Why isn't anyone bringing food?
"I clearly heard the door open just now."
A tall, fat man in a blue coat stood at the door of the cell next door.
He wore a shelter management terminal on his wrist, and looked sleepy.
The short, thin man on the sofa rolled over. "Don't make a sound, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
Qin Ze walked to the door, knocked on the wall, and extended his right hand out of the iron gate, revealing the administrator's terminal.
The tall, fat man, who was about to turn around, was taken aback. "Residents of the shelter?"
Qin Ze withdrew his hand. "That's right."
The fat man's face lit up with joy. "Me too, we're from Shelter No. 20. The opening date is approaching, so we're out here to pave the way."
"We encountered people from the fortress yesterday; they brought us back."
"They said that after observing us for a period of time and confirming that we were not Corruption, they released us and took us to the shelter to welcome other residents."
Qin Ze was stunned.
He hasn't asked yet.
Fatty Gao then blurted everything out.
Qin Ze turned his head and glanced at the Hunter.
Brother Yuanzi nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
The tall, fat man next door was overjoyed and woke up the short, skinny man who was still fast asleep on the sofa.
"Get up! Our neighbors are also residents of the shelter."
The short, thin man instantly regained his senses and went with him to the iron gate, where they communicated with Qin Ze through the wall.
Compared to tall and fat people, short and thin people need to be much more cautious.
When did you arrive?
Qin Ze said calmly, "You should have been asleep a few hours ago."
The short, thin man scratched his head. "Indeed, it's much more comfortable here than in the shelter."
"The space is large, the bed is soft, and there's plenty of delicious food."
"By the way, could I see your Vault Terminal?"
Qin Ze extended his right hand again.
The short, thin man nodded. "It is indeed a vault terminal. What is your vault's Sequence number?"
"The shelter that has been opened during this period should only be ours."
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "No comment."
The short, thin man frowned. "We're all residents of the shelter, what's wrong with saying this?"
Qin Ze said in a profound and enigmatic tone, "Not every shelter's responsibility is simply to house survivors."
The short, skinny man was genuinely taken aback by his words and didn't ask any further questions, only muttering under his breath, "A hidden Sequence's refuge..."
Splash--
Several soldiers pushed a food cart over.
The two people next door immediately forgot about the shelter and stared at the food truck, swallowing hard.
It's time for dinner.
"Please feel free to let us know if you have any other needs."
The cell door opened, and dishes of exquisite food were brought in.
Qin Ze witnessed a miraculous scene.
The Passerby A was clearly standing right next to the food cart, but the soldiers completely ignored him.
Noticing Qin Ze's gaze, Passerby A looked up and smiled slightly at him.
After placing the dinner down, the soldier closed the door and left.
Qin Ze was pondering how to communicate with the duo next door when Thousand Faces started shouting loudly on the Local Area Network.
"A fight has broken out!"
