The roads in the Inner City were relatively good, at least the road from the military headquarters to the villa area was quite well-maintained.
This not only referred to the quality of the road but also the number of vehicles passing by.
Before the apocalypse, Beijing City was notorious for traffic jams every few steps, but now...
Wen Yu was enjoying the empty road, with only himself on it, and coupled with the envious and surprised looks from the soldiers by the roadside, he couldn't help but sigh.
"This is the benefit of power!"
The car given to Wen Yu by Kuang Liu had an unusual license plate, which was evident from not needing to stop for inspections when entering and exiting the military building.
This privilege, Wen Yu had every right to enjoy.
He pressed down on the accelerator, feeling the inertia pushing against his back, and the exhilaration in his heart was indescribable!
Although Wen Yu had never driven a car and didn't have a license, with the reflexes of a professional, these things were quite simple.
After watching Kuang Liu’s actions yesterday, he already understood how to drive.
As for traffic laws...
Before Wen Yu could think about it, the villa area was already in sight.
...
He stepped hard on the brakes, causing his body to sway slightly from the inertia.
Looking at the military vehicle in front of him and Fang Yuan standing at his door, Wen Yu couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Commander Lin is quite the old fox; he even anticipated this..."
Then he silently lamented for the people of the gentry.
"I hope you can show some sincerity; otherwise, the joyous feast might just turn into a funeral."
Wen Yu agreed to Commander Lin’s task, but in his eyes, it was not something that had to be completed.
This was merely cooperation, not a commitment!
If the benefits offered by the gentry were substantial enough, he could completely overturn the terms of cooperation, and what would it matter if he offended Lin Haifeng?
Therefore, while Fang Yuan had a friendly expression, he might not realize that his attitude, or what he presented, would determine the lives and deaths of many people!
As Wen Yu got out of the car, he feigned confusion.
"You are Fang Yuan, Colonel, right? We met yesterday."
Fang Yuan hurriedly walked up to Wen Yu, his demeanor warm as he spoke.
"I truly apologize, Brother Wen Yu! Yesterday, I was unwise and might have offended you; I hope you can forgive me."
While exchanging pleasantries, Wen Yu invited Fang Yuan into the villa, accompanied by two professionals brought by Fang Yuan.
Their strength was not low; both were mid-level three, which proved that the gentry's power was not weak.
Unfortunately, they might not understand just how strong the true peak powerhouses in this world had become!
...
In the villa's hall, Fang Yuan sat on the guest seat, chatting casually with Wen Yu.
This was an old routine of chatting before the apocalypse, and of course, Fang Yuan himself was not of low quality.
Although it was casual talk, chatting with Fang Yuan felt quite relaxed—mainly because he threw in many off-color jokes.
This effectively bridged the gap between the two young men.
So, amidst Fang Yuan’s strange conversation style, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
...
Seeing Wen Yu yawn heavily, Fang Yuan immediately realized that this guy's patience was nearly exhausted, and he decisively changed his approach!
"Yesterday, the first time I saw Brother Wen Yu, I thought you were not an ordinary person. After returning, I checked your identity and discovered you're a sequence two; that truly surprised me."
Hearing this, Wen Yu’s gaze turned "cold"!
Although he learned from Lin Haifeng that these people must have known his identity, the performance still had to be complete!
This was an actor's self-cultivation!
Seeing Wen Yu’s expression, Fang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Wen Yu’s reaction was not unusual; anyone would feel a bit sensitive about someone investigating their affairs without permission.
