It was probably the morning after Yu Mian came back. She was sitting in the office processing the mountains of documents that had accumulated over the past few days, when she received a message from the terminal from the Lord of Guangming City.
City Lord of Guangming City: [I heard that you have returned to the Xincheng tribe, would you like to come to Guangming City? I have something to discuss with you.]
Yu Mian paused while correcting the document.
In fact, she didn't have much contact with the so-called Lord of Guangming City. Except for the time when she drove Aina away and threatened him a few times, she rarely had contact with him afterwards.
But now, as soon as she came back, the other party received the message immediately.
It's hard not to suspect something.
Although he was not sure whether this trip was the Hongmen Banquet, Yu Mian still decided to go.
Lou Zhuo and Yu Ye didn't trust her, and Meng Qi was worried that she would leave like last time and not come back for more than half a month, so he stubbornly wanted to follow her.
The final decision was made by drawing lots, and Lou Zhuo and Kaili accompanied her there.
Kaili drove, and Lou Zhuo sat in the passenger seat, holding Yu Mian in his arms.
The small daisy on his chest has grown into a small cluster, and its petals are spreading, thick and lush, swaying as the car moves forward.
Guangming City is not very far away. The closer you get to Guangming City, the wider the roads on both sides are.
Yu Mian looked out the window and could see a row of people standing in front of the city gate. They were also standing on the city tower. There were also a group of people holding AKs and aiming in their direction.
The car stopped at the city gate, and they were greeted by Aina.
I don’t know why, but she looked very ugly and opened the right door with a dark look on her face.
Yu Mian gestured to get out of the car. Aina raised her eyes and glanced at Lou Zhuo, who was also sitting in the passenger seat, and stretched out her hand to block Yu Mian's movement.
"You can get off the car, but he can't."
Aina stared at Lou Zhuo warily. Although he still wore a metal bite stopper, the name "zombie" still sounded frightening.
Yu Mian looked at her quietly for a while, then retracted her feet that were about to land, stretched out her hand and pulled the car door to put it on.
Aina hurriedly took out the food and shouted coldly: "What are you doing? Get out of the car quickly!"
"Aunt Aina doesn't welcome me?" Yu Mian blinked and tilted his head to lean on Lou Zhuo's chest, "Or is this how Guangming City teaches you to welcome guests?"
"You!" Aina was furious. She raised her head and looked around, then lowered her head and gritted her teeth to warn her, "Little brat, this is Guangming City, not your poor Xincheng tribe. Do you see that here?
There are gunmen all around. If you continue to behave like before, you will only be asking for trouble."
"Really?" Yu Mian didn't take her threat seriously, "But Aunt Aina, you may not know that it was the city lord's brother who invited me to come here this time."
As she spoke, her hand holding the doorknob was slightly firm.
"Tsk." Aina sneered.
He looked up and down at Yu Mian haughtily.
"You are stupid, but you are really stupid."
He didn't even know that he was here to die, so he just ran all the way here.
But it’s okay, she’s here to die anyway, and as an adult, she doesn’t bother to argue with her anymore.
When she was eaten until only the bones were left, she would no longer be able to be tough.
With this thought in mind, Aina smiled and took a step back: "Okay, since the city lord invited you here, get out of the car."
"Where's Lou Zhuo?"
"He—" Aina glanced at Lou Zhuo meaningfully, "Get out of the car too."
Anyway, one is dead, and so are two or three.
Lou Zhuo let Yu Mian sit on his shoulder, Kaili parked the car, locked it, and they followed Aina side by side towards the city.
Guangming City is indeed as its name says. The buildings are large and majestic, and the sunlight shines unobstructedly into the city, giving it a bright look.
The pedestrians in Yecheng are also different from the residents of the Xincheng tribe. They are all in good spirits, well-dressed and decent, and it is completely impossible to tell that they are people living in the apocalypse.
But because they were afraid of Lou Zhuo, the tall zombie king, pedestrians retreated and made way for Aina in the direction she was heading.
"That one was specially invited by the city lord, the leader of the Xincheng tribe?"
"Are you talking about the child, the zombie, or the man?"
"Nonsense, of course it's that little girl. Haven't you heard that since the Xincheng tribe changed to a new leader, the tribe has a lot more supplies. The last time Admiral Aina went to their tribe to collect taxes, it was also to get more supplies.
We only had some supplies, but we were kicked out by this kid. I heard it was because of this zombie’s help."
"You mean, that little girl got all the supplies from the Xincheng tribe? No way? She looks so small, how could she have the ability to get so many supplies?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Yu Mian’s comment section was also discussing:
[I just like to see how ignorant these people are. What’s wrong with our young age? We can still be the leader of the clan at such a young age, and we can still lead the entire tribe to be self-reliant.]
[Hey, hey, I didn’t say that, there were a lot of people in the comment area who thought that we Zaizai can’t do anything, why has the tone changed now?]
Nangong Gou Sheng: [But I always feel that when Zai Zai comes here this time, why does it look like going to the Hongmen Banquet? This Lord of Guangming City has done a lot of shameful things, and now he suddenly invites Zai Chengcheng, no matter how you look at it,
It looks like he has no good intentions.】
Yu Mian’s interstellar supernumerary male mother: [I agree with the above, not to mention, I think this change in Aina’s attitude is also very problematic.]
I am a silly dog: [Mianmian is very smart and has the ability to protect herself.]
