Upon hearing Little Snow's greeting, Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders without any further response.
The practitioner beside him saluted respectfully to the wild flow standing at the restaurant door.
“I have met the lord of war.”
Hearing this person's voice, Wild Flow turned his head to look.
“And you are?”
“This is a practitioner from the gathering place in Demon City. I came here on the order of General Peng to celebrate my grandfather's birthday.”
Fang Yuan deliberately emphasized the words “my grandfather.”
After listening, Wild Flow nodded slightly, then ignored the two in front of him and walked directly outside.
Fang Yuan didn't pursue the matter further. He just glanced at Wen Yu behind Wild Flow, showing a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
...
“The contradiction is deep.”
Wen Yu said to Wild Flow while sitting in the passenger seat.
A mere level 1 peak practitioner dared to provoke a level 4 practitioner; in Wen Yu's eyes, this was simply unimaginable!
Wild Flow nodded directly without revealing any further details.
Clearly, some matters were not suitable for Wen Yu to know.
However, Little Snow explained from behind,
“Fang Yuan's grandfather is a founding father...”
Wen Yu nodded, indicating he understood.
“This is why I am reluctant to join the military; your concerns are too numerous, with various exchanges of interests and various hidden rules. I really don’t understand why it can't be simpler?”
Upon hearing Wen Yu's words, Wild Flow nodded and then revealed a somewhat sinister smile to Wen Yu.
“The situation will change very soon...”
Wen Yu looked at Wild Flow's hands gripping the steering wheel, the veins bulging evident; it was clear that Wild Flow harbored deep resentment toward these gentry families!
Moreover, the implication in his earlier words...
Wen Yu fell silent for a moment before directly asking,
“Does it relate to my mission?”
Wen Yu owed the military a mission; he remembered this matter well, and the military surely remembered it more!
Wild Flow didn't continue but smiled at Wen Yu.
“You'll know when you meet Commander Lin tomorrow.”
...
I have to say, the environment in the Inner City is indeed much better than in the Outer City.
Various buildings are lined up, some belonging to powerful battle groups, while others belong to the military.
Of course, in just two short months, it was insufficient for the gathering place in Beijing to restore its original economic order due to the devaluation of currency before the apocalypse and the emergence of new equivalents. More importantly, the resources in the survivors' hands were lacking, which led to the streets appearing very deserted.
And more than half of the people were practitioners dressed in various protective gear.
“This is the residential area exclusively for high-level military personnel in the Inner City.”
Wild Flow's car slowly stopped in front of a row of independent villas. He then got out of the car and pointed to the first house on the right.
“This is for you, permanently! Your house faces mine.”
Wen Yu nodded.
Without mentioning anything else, just the fact that the military could allocate a villa to him in this land-scarce Inner City, matching Wild Flow’s, was enough to prove the military's sincerity to him.
Wild Flow took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Wen Yu, saying,
“Get a good night's sleep; I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Wen Yu nodded, ignoring Wild Flow, who turned to get back into the car, and walked directly into the villa.
...
The villa was spacious and very clean, equipped with various daily necessities and appliances. Given its location, Wen Yu was sure it wouldn’t lack for water and electricity.
Wen Yu chose a bedroom on the third floor of the villa, while the opposite room was occupied by the One-Eyed.
That was One-Eyed's doghouse.
Moreover, One-Eyed had even occupied a room for Star right next door, and he even drilled a large dog hole through the wall of the two rooms!
