Song Xiaozhu: "Okay, arrange for the patrol teams to expand the patrol area, and keep a close eye on the situation at the Fortress as well."
She added, "But don't get too close. Just keep an eye out to see if any combat teams are leaving the city."
Xiao Yunjie: "Understood."
With everything arranged, Song Xiaozhu was about to go back when she heard hurried footsteps outside.
The person who entered was Liu Huli. He greeted Song Xiaozhu first, then quickly reported, "Madam, there's... there's a stranger outside!"
He didn't know what word to use to describe him, so he simply used "outsider."
Song Xiaozhu and Xiao Yunjie exchanged glances, and instantly thought of the woman Xiao Tong had seen.
Xiao Yunjie asked, "Are you alone?"
Liu Huli quickly said, "Yes... she was alone, but... but... she was followed by three Polluted Beast!"
It was indeed the young woman Xiao Tong had glimpsed before.
Song Xiaozhu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look together."
Xiao Yunjie hesitated, worried about Song Xiaozhu's safety.
Song Xiaozhu: "It's okay, I also want to learn about the world outside the quarantine zone."
The world outside the quarantine zone, the people outside the quarantine zone...
They were destined to clash eventually.
Song Xiaozhu knows more than anyone else present, and by having her come forward, the most complete information can be obtained.
They went out of the house together and saw the huge, Polluted Beast at the entrance of the village in the distance.
Song Xiaozhu narrowed her eyes. She could roughly make out the outlines. They were three "gorillas," of course, chimpanzees that had mutated after being contaminated.
They are nearly three meters tall, and their size is astonishing. Their fur is stiff, and one of their fists is as big as an average person's head.
The woman standing in front of them wore a fitted combat suit and was tall and slender. Even in front of these three behemoths, her imposing presence remained undiminished.
Her features were striking, her expression aloof, and while her words were polite, her tone devoid of warmth. "I am Leina, a 'Beast Tamer' from the Day After Tomorrow Society!"
Chapter 76
Day After Tomorrow Society?
Song Xiaozhu's nerves skipped a beat; this was one of the few crucial pieces of information she had left in her memory.
Li Siyuan had heard of the " Day After Tomorrow Society ".
Although she didn't care and considered all other organizations to be her father's defeated foe, the fact that the news reached her ears showed the extent of the Day After Tomorrow Society's influence.
Song Xiaozhu was already on guard, and now she moved almost imperceptibly toward Xiao Yunjie.
Xiao Yunjie immediately noticed, and she quickly stepped forward, calmly saying, "Hello, I am Xiao Yunjie, the person in charge of Liu Family Village."
Leina looked at Xiao Yunjie, her narrow eyes scrutinizing her for a moment before she said, "You are an ' Digger '." It wasn't a question, but a confident statement.
Xiao Yunjie readily replied, "Yes."
"Mother!" At this moment, Xiao Tong rushed over from outside. He was still in his beast form and moved extremely fast, as if he had something important to do. When he got there, he immediately saw the strange woman in front of the Polluted Beast.
Xiao Tong was visibly taken aback. He immediately stepped in front of Xiao Yunjie and Song Xiaozhu, staring at Leina: "That's the one I saw earlier."
Xiao Tong was originally arranging new exploration and patrol teams when he heard the Hunter ' discussions and learned that strangers had "visited," so he dropped his work and ran over.
With Liu Xuangang gone, he is the strongest fighter in the village.
Xiao Tong was worried that the outsider had ulterior motives.
Leina turned her gaze to him and politely introduced herself.
Xiao Yunjie pulled Xiao Tong aside and stepped forward, saying, "Miss Leina meant no harm."
Then she introduced Xiao Tong to Leina.
Xiao Tong visibly relaxed, his wariness fading and replaced by curiosity.
He is young after all.
Besides Song Xiaozhu and Qiu Shuyu, this was the third outsider he had ever met in his life.
And this outsider was from outside the safety barrier, and he was... very... tall...
Xiao Tong's ears were slightly reddish at the tips.
Xiao Yunjie didn't let Xiao Tong leave, but instead had him stand to her left.
While it appears that Song Xiaozhu has been separated, the strongest fighting force in the village— Xiao Tong and Qiu Shuyu —has actually been placed on either side of her.
Xiao Yunjie: "Miss Leina, what brings you here?"
Leina glanced at the stone house behind them. "Why don't we go inside and talk?"
Xiao Yunjie: "Please."
Leina pressed her palm down slightly, and the three Polluted Beast behind her froze in place as if a freeze button had been pressed.
The stone houses in Liu Family Village are just ordinary residential houses, so these three "chimpanzees" definitely couldn't get in.
Leina's initiative to go inside was a gesture of goodwill, showing that she had no hostility. It was also a display of confidence; she was not afraid of the Awakened in Liu Family Village and dared to venture into the village alone.
Several people entered the room one after the other. Song Xiaozhu didn't say anything from beginning to end, but carefully observed Leina, paying attention to her every move, and listening attentively to her conversation with Xiao Yunjie.
Xiao Tong also came in, not only to protect Song Xiaozhu, but also out of curiosity to learn about the outside world.
After entering the room, Leina found a seat and sat down.
Her movements were crisp and efficient, and the way her long legs crossed revealed the captivating charm of a mature woman.
Leina cut to the chase. "I imagine you have many questions about the outside world."
Xiao Yunjie poured her a glass of water. "Thank you, Miss Leina, for clearing up our doubts."
Leina didn't touch her water glass, and continued in her indifferent tone, " The Day After Tomorrow Society dedicate ourselves to liberating every ' Testing Ground.' You are the 28th to be liberated this year."
Xiao Yunjie's heart skipped a beat. "What is a ' Testing Ground '?"
Leina flicked her wrist, and a wisp of white mist flashed by. A light blue map unfolded out of thin air, covered with a dazzling array of place names.
