Chapter 118 Guard Tracking
Cang Xingyue walked around, looking for suspicious people.
She didn't notice anything unusual along the way. On the contrary, Shu Yin's appearance attracted a lot of strange looks and even frightened two children to tears.
Nothing else was gained.
Cang Xingyue stopped and stood still, momentarily lost in thought.
I don't know if what she did will be of any use, or if she can find Shu Yin's superior contact.
The once bustling street suddenly became deserted, and no one approached the spot where Cang Xingyue was standing.
Cang Xingyue snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the large empty space around her, feeling a moment of shock and bewilderment.
Is Shu Yin Chou really that shocking? Although she is a bit scary-looking, surely she wouldn't scare people away from her by three meters?!
Just then, a group of men in uniforms suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Cang Xingyue.
"Scuba smuggler, grab him!" shouted one of them, who seemed to be their leader.
"What, a spies?" Cang Xingyue asked, completely bewildered.
At his command, the dozen or so men in black surrounding her took out a specially made gun and fired large nets at her.
"Oh my god!" Cang Xingyue exclaimed in surprise and quickly teleported into the space.
She stood in the space, recalling the black-clad man who had appeared out of nowhere earlier and the thief.
The words Manxue had once said flashed through her mind, and she realized that the group of men in black were base guards.
"Did they mistake me for someone who snuck in?"
But that shouldn't be the case. She's already joined the base and isn't an outsider anymore, so how could she trigger the guards to arrest her?
Is it based on facial recognition?
Cang Xingyue raised her hand and took off her mask, catching a glimpse of blue stain on her sleeve out of the corner of her eye.
She tried rinsing it with water, but the color didn't come off at all.
She frowned. "What is this?"
Seeing that it couldn't be washed off, I simply took off my coat, only to find that the same blue stain was also stuck to my arm in the same spot as on the sleeve.
"What on earth is this thing?" Cang Xingyue suddenly felt irritated.
She would wonder when it was stuck on.
The road was clean the whole way until the guards appeared.
But she wasn't caught in their net, nor did she have any contact with them, so how did she get involved?
"This is tracking fluid. It will take seven days to come off once it's on. For safety's sake, Xingyue, you shouldn't go out for the time being," the system reminded you.
It means she has to stay in the space for seven days, but who can stand eating peaches all day?
Moreover, she had just entered the base, and her neighbor was the base commander. It wouldn't be good if he discovered anything unusual.
"System, do you have a way to get rid of this thing?"
"I detected that this tracking fluid can be removed with deionizing water, but I didn't detect it in the system."
"Does anyone have this?"
"The base guard post here has been detected, and the base commander also possesses the ability to eliminate water."
Given her current status as a 'fugitive,' the base guards naturally couldn't rush to hand her over.
When she transformed into Lu Yibei's appearance, she could freely use her powers in Nanqi, but she could not use them in the appearance of anyone else.
It would arouse suspicion and expose one's identity.
When she encountered guards, she could only run away; she couldn't confront them directly.
On the other hand, it was much simpler for Fang Yanqing. He could secretly take the antidote out when he wasn't around, use it, and then return it.
……
"How is it? Still haven't tracked it down?" Captain Chen Chen asked the guards operating the tracking equipment with a serious expression.
"Sigh, still nothing. I don't know who this smuggler is. Even after we put tracking fluid on him, we still can't track him. There's absolutely no signal."
Team member Sun Xiaoliu sighed, shook his head, and pointed at the screen, which showed no signal.
"Heh, this is really interesting. When have we ever failed in all this time? Captain, once we catch him, we must teach him a lesson."
He slammed his fist on the table with a loud bang.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. A spies entered the base, and we, as base guards, failed to keep our distance and let him escape. We cannot escape responsibility."
"Moreover, I need to report this matter to the base commander now." After saying this, Captain Chen Chen left the guard station.
……
Cang Xingyue had just returned to the Dongliu base. Although Dongliu was no longer inhabited, there was still food left, so she went back to get some.
She happened to run into a dozen or so zombies entering Dongliu, so she used her Blood Cherry Blade to deal with them, which splattered zombie blood on her body.
She went in, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.
I selected the food I had brought, carefully divided it into portions, and put it in the refrigerator.
After packing the rice, I took a bowl of rice to the kitchen, put it in a basin, rinsed it with water, and then poured it into the pot to start cooking.
After the rice was cooked, I stir-fried a dish of vegetables. After finishing all that, I served the food and ate a simple meal before going to the river to catch a few fish.
They would catch them and then release them back into the river, repeating this process over and over.
After all, being alone in this space, while safe and relaxing, inevitably leads to moments of boredom.
This is a good opportunity to practice my fish-catching skills so I can catch more fish and sell them for more money later.
