Yan Qingwen gave a faint smile, not denying, nor continuing on the topic. She just said, “It’s still early, we’re about to go for a stroll, do you want to come along?”

“No,” Bai Youwei shook her head, “I’m waiting for Shen Mo.”

“Who knows when he’ll be back!”, Lun Ang urged, “Let’s go, it’s stuffy and hot in here! It will be cooler outside! Besides, we still haven’t figured out what the situation is around here!”

Yan Qingwen smiled saying: “Friends who have played the game together should be trustworthy, right?”

After hesitating for two seconds, Bai Youwei nodded: “Alright, let’s go for a stroll.”

Teacher Chang surprised she agreed, as they had never separated from Shen Mo to act independently before.

“What about Tan Xiao and Xiaoxin…” Chang Weicai brought them up hesitantly to Bai Youwei.

Tan Xiao and Xiaoxin were still in the Doll House.

Bai Youwei said, “Just leave them a note.”

Thinking for a moment, Teacher Chang pulled out a blank sheet of paper and wrote a few reminders.

They didn’t have a specific destination in mind when they went out, they just wandered around to see what they could find.

The streets were very clean, with clear evidence of effective waste classification.

All the stores and supermarkets along the street were empty, no useful supplies were seen, probably taken away by the “superiors” for organized and effective distribution.

After walking towards People’s Square for about seven or eight minutes, they crossed paths with someone. But this character appeared indifferent, barely cast them a glance before hurrying away. Qingwen didn’t bother to greet him.

It seems that although this place appears peaceful, it’s not as comfortable as they expected.

When they were near People’s Square, they saw people gathering in groups under the trees, chatting, enjoying the shade, and smoking.

Seeing the exceptionally lovely Zhu Shu, a teenager whistled.

Lun Ang immediately glared at him: “What are you doing?!”

The other party was instantly scared and dared not act rashly, laughing nervously: “No… nothing.”

After they moved away, the guy seemed to have changed his attitude due to Lun Ang’s strong physique. Suddenly he became enthusiastic, shouting, “Hey! Bro, want to join a game? We are lacking one person, Russian roulette, there’s a guide!”

Lun Ang turned to look at him, his eyebrows knitted, then he glanced at Yan Qingwen next to him.

Yan Qingwen slightly shook her head.

Knowing the man was dodgy, Lun Ang paid no mind.

The man called out a few times, but seeing no reaction from Lun Ang, he gave up.

“Interesting,” Bai Youwei hooked the corner of her mouth, a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Russian roulette, with a guide, needing one person. Not only do they know the specifics of the game, but also the triggers for the number of players and methods to win, who provided them with information? The organizer of the survivors in Shanghai?”

“No one would provide it for free,” Yan Qingwen was calm, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Suddenly inviting Lun Ang, this mustn’t be a good thing.”

“Are they wanting to trap me?” Lun Ang clasped his hands into fists, making a crackling noise, “Should we go teach him a lesson?”

Yan Qingwen shook her head lightly, “We just arrived, let’s just see how things are for now.”

“You’re a smart one.”

A stranger’s voice suddenly rang out from ahead.

Everyone was taken aback.

Looking towards the direction of the voice, no one was to be seen.

“I’m here.”

The young voice rang out again, coming from a tree!

Before anyone could look up, a shadow jumped down from the tree.

A man in a gray hoodie slowly stood up in front of them: knee-length shorts, canvas shoes, and a wide hood covering his head, preventing anyone from seeing his face clearly.

“Hello, my name is Du Lai, I only deal with smart people.”

He pulled back his hood revealing a handsome young face, smiled broadly, displaying two canine teeth, making him appear a little childish.

Bai Youwei quietly observed the height from which he had jumped.

This man… must have been through the labyrinth before.
