When everyone in the conference room had left, Wan Ping finally rubbed his head.
After Wan An's resentful soul was consumed, Wan Ping clearly felt that his mind had become much clearer.
"Perhaps it's because Xiao An's body has been dead for too long."
This was the only explanation Wan Ping could come up with.
After a while, as if he had thought of something, Wan Ping stood up and left the conference room.
Outside the door, two of Guan Tao's former trusted subordinates were waiting for Wan Ping.
For most of these people, who the big boss was didn’t really matter, as long as they could get benefits...
Wan Ping nodded to the two of them and directly headed towards Guan Tao's former office.
"Oh right."
Wan Ping seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at the two subordinates still standing in place.
"Do you remember that I asked you to find a practitioner with a small black orb on their shoulder?"
The two subordinates exchanged glances, and after a while, one of them spoke up.
"We remember this matter, but hasn't the message already been sent back?"
Wan Ping nodded.
"Bring the person who sent back the message to see me."
Seeing both subordinates nodding, Wan Ping then left.
...
In the central city, the communicator had already connected the call with the Beijing side early on.
When Wen Yu and Little Snow walked into the room, Kuang Liu was already seated on the other side of the screen.
Wen Yu greeted Kuang Liu before directly addressing the main issue.
"Xiao Xue's operation to recruit Simba has failed; some unexpected situations arose. Xiao Xue will explain the specifics to you later. I heard that Sun Xuewei has news?"
Kuang Liu nodded.
"Sun Xuewei has been found. She is in a team made up entirely of female practitioners in the city. I have sent someone to contact them, but she is not very willing to join the military."
Upon hearing the news about Sun Xuewei, Wen Yu said to Kuang Liu,
"Send someone to keep an eye on her. Don’t let Sun Xuewei leave the city for now. I plan to head over within the next two days."
"Understood."
Kuang Liu nodded, indicating that this small matter could be handled easily.
"Then, see you in a few days."
"See you in a few days."
After Wen Yu finished speaking, he immediately got up from his seat and left the communication room.
As soon as Wen Yu left, Little Snow eagerly sat down in front of the screen and began to talk to Kuang Liu about what had happened in the past few days.
Including Wen Yu's strength, the emergence of the Cult of the Demon Worshippers, and other random topics...
...
Wen Yu and Wang Zhigang stood outside the room, each with a cigarette in their mouths, continuously exhaling smoke.
"Are you leaving?"
Wang Zhigang was the first to ask.
Wen Yu nodded.
Although Mudanjiang was his hometown, the surrounding mutated beasts and zombies were not sufficient to provide Wen Yu with the magic crystals and points he needed to level up.
Staying here would completely stagnate his strength; remaining here would only waste his life.
Wang Zhigang didn’t think too much about it. Seeing Wen Yu confirm that he was leaving Mudanjiang City, he immediately said,
"Then let me see you off tonight?"
"Ugh."
Wen Yu sighed heavily and shook his head.
"Forget it. There’s not much time left. After handling a few small matters, I’ll leave. No need to make it so troublesome."
Hearing Wen Yu's words, Wang Zhigang instead smiled.
"Your home probably doesn't have water, right? You need to change those clothes..."
Hearing Wang Zhigang's words, Wen Yu finally noticed his personal hygiene situation.
Although the recent battle had not caused any harm to Wen Yu, the dust and dirt everywhere on the battlefield were undeniable.
Not only Wen Yu's clothes but even the one-eyed and Xing were covered in dust.
Wang Zhigang continued,
"Also, regarding the news you asked me to investigate, I have already arranged for someone to do it. At the latest, we will have news by tomorrow morning. So, I think you should wait here for a day."
