Sun Hang watched as vehicles emblazoned with the Dubhe Tower emblem sped past on the opposite lane, then turned his gaze to the further sidewalk, where soldiers in powered armor and chanical exoskeletons were marching in formation. The long-neglected pavent tiles cracked under the weight of the heavy armor, while the roadsides were crowded with civilians eager to witness the spectacle — perhaps only in a city like Chunming, which has been peaceful for so long, could such a scene be seen. In comparison, in a border city like Tianfu City, civilians would have already shut their windows and stayed indoors for fear of the battle's aftermath reaching them.
Sun Hang let out a long sigh and rolled up the car window.
The Yellow Road Layer Liuxu District may likely beco one of the busiest places over the next few days in the entire city.
"Can you... not dissect ?" At this mont, Xue Yue suddenly whispered from the back seat, "I will behave, and I can also help do things... whatever I can do, just tell and I will do it..."
"Who said anything about dissecting you?" Sun Hang glanced at her through the rearview mirror, only to see the girl's pale face and an expression full of nervousness in her eyes. "I had already promised you before to give you a legal identity, so you can live like a normal person, right?"
"Before... before, I didn't know what... thing I was..." Xue Yue's voice beca even smaller. "That Lin Lun says I'm his only... only successful research result... so kind of fruit seed or sothing... although I don't quite understand it, I think I must be sothing very important..."
Xue Yue's speech was sowhat disjointed, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's whisper, but this did not prevent Sun Hang from understanding what she ant—in short, after learning her true identity, she subconsciously assud Sun Hang would break his earlier promise. After all, during her exposure to human society, she had encountered no shortage of people who broke promises.
That Lin Lun repeatedly claid he's soone who achieves his goals by any ans necessary, and to Xue Yue, Sun Hang seed to share quite a few similarities with Lin Lun...maybe it was precisely because of this reason that the two originally at odds could co to an understanding...
For soone willing to do anything to achieve their goals, breaking one's previous promises wouldn't seem significant at all.
"Then you can rest assured." rging from a two-lane road into a four-lane urban highway, Sun Hang slightly increased the throttle, and the vehicle's speed imdiately rose from forty to sixty miles per hour—although the floating car can perform unmanned driving entirely under the control of the central brain, Sun Hang still preferred to steer the vehicle himself...after all, in case another attack like the one at the construction site recently occurred, he could react imdiately, skipping the step of issuing a command to the central brain or taking control of the vehicle.
"My previous promises still hold. I won't hand you over to the Dubhe Tower or any other research institute. You can choose to stay with or remain in Chunming City...but before that, I need you to do sothing for ."
"I choose to stay with you," Xue Yue said without hesitation.
"I haven't even said what I need you to do yet?" Sun Hang couldn't help but ask, "Besides, if you stay with , you'll probably encounter many more strange things than you did before, far more dangerous than your previous days."
Upon hearing "danger," Xue Yue shrunk her neck slightly, but soon a glint of determination appeared in her eyes: "I still choose to stay with you...at least, you promised that you wouldn't dissect ?"
"Just because of that?" Sun Hang couldn't help but find it amusing.
This girl seems a bit too easy to fool...if she were an ordinary person, human traffickers could probably lure her into so secluded valley with just a lollipop.
"And...and I also don't want to stay in Chunming City anymore..." Xue Yue murmured hesitantly, "As long as he's still here, I'm scared..."
"That person? You an Lin Lun?"
Xue Yue nodded vigorously.
"Well, okay...but next, where I plan to take you might even be scarier than Lin Lun."
"Scarier?!"
"Do you know about Lake Baikal City?"
"I know...I saw in the news earlier that it was destroyed by strange entities..." Xue Yue said, "But since it's far from Chunming City, I didn't pay much attention."
Regarding the appearance of the death aurora and the collapse of Lake Baikal City, the Xiazhou Federation did not close off information—but from an ordinary civilian's perspective, they would only know that a border city mainly populated by immigrants from the Siberian Federation was destroyed by strange entities. As for more details, news dia would selectively report them, rather than disclose everything that happened in Lake Baikal City to the public.
Later follow-up reports, in order to stabilize public emotions, would emphasize positive news descriptions and try to ignore or downplay the negative news.
"I need you to accompany to Baikal City for a while." Sun Hang said, "Or to be more precise, the newly erged geng type eerie entity 'Baikal Remains'."
There's a docunt stored in the central brain with extrely high access levels; including Sun Hang, the number of people in the Xiazhou Federation qualified to review this docunt does not exceed two digits—the content of this docunt is also very simple; it records cases of unforeseen eerie transformations caused by 'negative emotion accumulation' in frontier camps since Lake Baikal City's destruction.
