Being a villain in apocalyptic writing
Chapter 4: Fishing in troubled waters to gather information
The white cat looked at her blankly: "Who is he?"
Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes: "The man who fell into the river with me."
The white cat was silent for a moment, then replied, "The authority of the Level 4 system is very low, so I cannot give you an accurate answer."
Then we can only regard it as a possibility.
Jiang Ye clenched her fists expressionlessly. Why was she so unwilling to accept the fact that the man might still be alive?
……
The sounds from the store continued to be heard, and Jiang Ye also got ready.
The white cat jumped onto the trash can and stretched its neck to look inside.
There were four customers inside. Because the prices of goods in the store had increased, everyone looked unhappy, and some even complained that the "Material Distribution Department" was becoming more and more unscrupulous.
When it was the last lady's turn to check out, she asked nervously in a low voice, "Do you have any nutrient solution today?"
The salesperson looked calm and said, "The supply has been suspended over there."
The woman paid and left disappointed.
Jiang Ye withdrew his perception and glanced at the white cat that was looking confused by the wall.
Although it is called a system, this white cat does not seem to have much of a God's perspective, especially when it comes to plots that are not covered in the novel, it is too obviously unfamiliar.
Jiang Ye was suspicious but didn't show it on his face: "Don't look, everyone is gone."
The little white cat jumped down obediently, but she was still mumbling: "What kind of nutrient solution makes her so nervous?"
There is so much food in the store.
"Maybe it's a slang word." Jiang Ye said half-seriously, then leaned over and placed his palms facing the ground.
Soon, medicines, food and a bag of goods appeared on the cement ground in front of him.
At the same time, the indifferent cashier in the store screamed: "Something's happening! Someone come!"
The white cat was shocked by Jiang Ye's fluency in "stealing".
But Jiang Ye didn't give it any glare. She didn't take much, so she packed everything quickly and ran away.
She ran away...
The sound of dense footsteps came from the corner. The white cat was so frightened that it jumped up on the spot as if in response to a stress, then followed Jiang Ye's trail and disappeared on the spot.
He ran away very quickly, but was still seen by others because he was a little slow, causing everyone to exclaim: "Holy crap! What was that just now?!"
"There was a white thing! It suddenly disappeared!"
"Go and report! Quick, quick, quick!"
There was chaos here and the shops were surrounded by people; but Jiang Ye, who was quick to run, was eating bread in the backyard of a villa, enjoying a peaceful life.
This time she moved a little far away and felt dizzy when she landed. She finished eating the two loaves of bread before she recovered.
Jiang Ye opened the product bag, took out iodine to disinfect the dead flesh on his feet, applied anti-inflammatory ointment, and then wrapped it with gauze.
I don't know how successful the operation was, but I managed to separate the rotten meat from the clothes.
Jiang Ye packed up his things with satisfaction, squeezed his body under the stone table, and planned to take a nap.
There was a noise coming from the villa behind him, but Jiang Ye still had his eyes closed.
"You're back." Along with the sound of the door opening, a gentle middle-aged woman opened the door.
The tall young man entered the villa with his hat in hand, locked the door carefully, and then asked, "Mom, no one came to visit, right?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Someone just robbed a store, and now the whole central city is searching for him."
"Oh my god, how did you do that?"
The man washed his face and took off the guard uniform of the laboratory building and put it away. "Who knows, maybe it's another mercenary from the outer circle. It's getting harder and harder to get supplies now. It's possible that they are not afraid of death and come in to try their luck."
"Ling Yu, why don't we just stop doing security..." The woman said anxiously, "What would you do if you really met a mutant?"
When he heard the word "mutant", the man's face twitched.
But he still said, "Mom, this job is so hard to come by! I'm a non-mutant, but I can get three meals a day and live in such a nice house in the central city, all thanks to this job!"
"But..." The woman's voice of admonition continued.
Jiang Ye had already withdrawn his perception, opened his eyes, and his vision was clear.
The white cat had already caught up and stood obediently beside for a while. It knew that it had revealed its true identity and could not hide its guilty conscience.
"Can't you change your expression?" Jiang Ye asked casually.
"No." The white cat was very obedient at this moment, "This is the system's projection data in this world, just like the host."
Jiang Ye got the answer and decided to stop while he was ahead.
Now that she has alerted the enemy, her primary goal tonight is to find out more about the situation while the water is murky. As for the many suspicious points in the system, tonight is obviously not the time to reveal them.
Jiang Ye turned his gaze back to the villa behind him.
The security guards of the laboratory building are ordinary people without mutations. They are provided with three meals a day and even live so close to the laboratory...
Wan Zhiming is not a philanthropist.
Jiang Ye recalled that in the original book, he established a refugee camp in order to secretly select experimenters and send them to the research base.
But what if these experimenters didn’t just come from refugee camps?
Jiang Ye climbed out of the stone table and looked over the low wall of the villa to the scattered houses outside.
There are many search teams on the streets, looking for people door to door.
The flickering candlelight gradually spread out from the experimental building. It was obvious that many people couldn't sleep tonight.
"Let's go and join in the fun."
The white cat was flattered and immediately connected to Jiang Ye's system positioning and followed quickly.
Jiang Ye followed the search team quietly, picking out places that had just been searched.
When people are frightened, they are more likely to say inappropriate things.
But she followed all the way. The search team was very polite. They knocked on the door gently and spoke softly, as if they were singing nursery rhymes to lull people to sleep in the middle of the night. As a result, the residents of the "Central City" had no chance to lose their composure.
Jiang Ye thought they were going to return empty-handed until three in the morning, when they crossed the border of the central city and entered what the search team called the "ordinary resettlement area"...
The efficiency of the search team suddenly became much higher. They could kick several houses at a time and notify more than ten households with one shout.
The environment here is obviously not as comfortable as that in the central city. The houses are basically the same as those from the old times, and some even show signs of being destroyed.
Jiang Ye, carrying the dead cat lying on his shoulder, quietly came to the rooftop of a two-story building.
I just happened to see the backs of a search team walking towards the next house in a swaggering manner.
This two-story house has a total of six rooms, including the living room and kitchen.
There were thirteen families living there in total.
The room closest to Jiang Ye is shared by a pair of sisters named Qi and another mother and daughter.
The search late at night did scare them.
The four of them got up shivering, and because they were reluctant to light a candle, they gathered around the window and talked in the moonlight.
"All these inter-city troops have been dispatched, so it will be difficult to grab supplies tomorrow. Aunt Jiang, you watch over them tomorrow. I will go out to exchange them early in the morning."
The mother with messy hair hesitated and said, "I'll go. The worker I mentioned earlier was promoted a few days ago and went to the material distribution point in the central city. I'll go look for her."
"Promoted? But didn't you say she was ill recently?"
"I don't know." The mother shook her head, hugged her child tighter, and said casually, "Maybe I met a noble person."
The elder sister Qi Lihong frowned and said in a serious tone, "You'd better not go."
"why?"
