"Living person?" Waite blurted out, beating Long Yuehong to it.

In this urban ruin, encountering a living person who doesn't belong to one's own team and isn't known is more bizarre and terrifying than encountering a dead person, a "Heartless," or a mutated creature.

Long Yuehong thought so too.

Fei Lintong, holding his shotgun, recalled:

"That street was about the same as this one, dirty, messy, and stinky, hadn't been cleaned for who knows how many years.

"There was a long bench by the side of the road, and someone was sitting on it. He, he was a Grayland person, wearing what the Old World called formal attire, wool, gray, with black stripes.

"He looked to be less than thirty years old, his hair combed neatly back, and he wore glasses with very round and rather small frames."

"That doesn't sound like anything special..." Long Yuehong said cautiously.

Encountering someone like that, even in these dangerous ruins, shouldn't be treated like a monster right away. Maybe one should try to strike up a conversation and see if the other person is friendly and can cooperate.

"He was nothing special, except that he was still alive." Fei Lintong exhaled. "But there was a huge python coiled around the tree behind him. That python's eyes were big and round, like two searchlights, and the color was like they were filled with fresh blood... Its upper body was hanging down, draped over the back of the bench, like that person's guard...

"That's not the scariest part. I, I saw that white giant wolf. It was, it was squatting next to that person!"

At that moment, Jiang Baimian, Wang Fugui, and the others had a name emerge in their minds:

Wu Meng!

The owner of the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station, Wu Meng!

Wasn't it said that as long as one didn't get within one kilometer of the radio station's location and didn't carry electronic products, everything would be fine? Wasn't it said that he was sealed? How is he wandering around the streets? That direction is completely opposite to the radio station's location, it's definitely more than two kilometers away... Long Yuehong experienced Fei Lintong's horror at the time, and even more deeply than the other person.

After all, Fei Lintong probably wasn't aware of the "Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair" radio station and how strange and terrifying Wu Meng was.

"That person was reading a newspaper at the time, very focused, but the white wolf and the python both looked at me." Fei Lintong continued, "I was terrified, and I ran this way while shouting for help."

You could see them, with Wu Meng's ability, controlling you should be easy, how could he let you escape? Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, noticing something abnormal.

There are two explanations for this: one is that Fei Lintong was deliberately let go, and he has actually been secretly influenced by Wu Meng, just waiting for the crucial moment to mislead the eight people here. The second is that it wasn't the real Wu Meng, but an image he created using some kind of electronic product.

Combining the information the company gave and Ga Luolan's words just now, Jiang Baimian leaned more towards the latter.

Otherwise, with the strength and level Wu Meng has shown, he wouldn't need such a complex plan, he could just come directly.

Leaning towards it is leaning towards it, but Jiang Baimian didn't dare to be careless in her actual handling.

She didn't discuss the strange person with Fei Lintong, but asked solemnly:

"Do you have any electronic products on you?"

Fei Lintong was taken aback:

"No.

"Why are you asking that?"

What's the point of asking that?

"It's good if you don't." Jiang Baimian explained casually, "Here, electronic products are dangerous mediums."

"Is that so?" Although Fei Lintong couldn't understand, he had seen the white giant wolf control the group of ruin hunters before, so he was half-believing, and after receiving a definite answer, he didn't ask why.

Compared to that, he was more concerned about another matter:

"Where exactly is this? You guys seem to be very familiar with it?

"Are there any other exits?"

"Wasteland 13 Ruins." Wang Fugui gave a concise answer.

"Ah?" Fei Lintong's pupils suddenly dilated.

Almost no ruin hunters based in Initial City haven't heard of Wasteland 13 Ruins and its related rumors, unless they just arrived here and plan to settle down.

Therefore, Fei Lintong was a little stunned for a moment.

Jiang Baimian didn't offer any comfort, but glanced in the direction Fei Lintong had escaped from, and said tentatively:

"Let's go back, take a slight detour, and continue to collect supplies along the way."

"Okay!" Waite once again beat Long Yuehong to it.

For him, today has been another great harvest, and there's really no need to explore further and take unnecessary risks.

The others didn't have any objections either.

And Fei Lintong heard from their words just now that these people seemed to have a way out, and he felt much more at ease.

While walking back step by step in a tactical formation, Jiang Baimian said to Fei Lintong with a smile:

"You've seen it too, the white giant wolf can control humans and turn them into puppets. For everyone's safety, and to confirm whether you are yourself and whether you have been affected, I have to ask you a few questions."

"You know me?" Fei Lintong heard the hidden meaning in Jiang Baimian's words and asked in surprise.

Jiang Baimian gave a rather awkward answer:

"Know people who know you.

"Um, first question, what's your name?"

"Fei Lintong." Fei Lintong answered frankly.

"Second question, do you happen to know of a cult that worships mirrors?" Jiang Baimian got down to business.

Hearing this, Wang Fugui and Gray also looked at Fei Lintong.

"Yes." Fei Lintong suddenly understood, "Are you friends with Terrence?"

He remembered that he had only mentioned this matter to Terrence and a few others, and among these people, Terrence had the most friends.

"No, he's our debtor." Shang Jianyao looked solemn.

But this debtor is often shivering, afraid of being killed by the one who owes him money... Long Yuehong sneered in his heart that Shang Jianyao's performance was too forceful.

Fei Lintong didn't ask how much they owed, but thought for a moment and said:

"I do know of such a cult, um, I know one of their followers, I'm quite familiar with him. He wanted to recruit me into the cult some time ago."

"What's his name, where does he live?" Jiang Baimian asked while walking slowly forward, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

"His name is Smith." Under the eaves, one has to lower one's head. Fei Lintong had no intention of helping his friend hide anything, "He lives in Room 503, 9 Harley Street, Golden Wheat District."

Shang Jianyao immediately followed up with a question:

"Do you know what their sacrament is?"

Fei Lintong shook his head blankly.

"No wonder you haven't joined them yet." Shang Jianyao had an expression that said he understood perfectly.

"Which Ruling Year do they worship?" Jiang Baimian asked, taking advantage of the situation.

Fei Lintong shook his head again:

"They don't seem to worship any Ruling Year, but instead worship mirrors. They always tell me that 'the new world is on the other side of the mirror,' and also say 'you are looking at the person in the mirror, and the person in the mirror is also looking at you,' which makes me feel very awkward every time I look in the mirror, and even a little scared..."

Shang Jianyao listened with great interest, as if he had learned a new catchphrase.

After Fei Lintong finished speaking, Jiang Baimian winked at Shang Jianyao and held up her right thumb and middle finger.

This represented a predetermined plan, meaning to go up and "make" friends or "persuade" the other person to eliminate hidden dangers.

Although Fei Lintong has been acting very normal so far, and his words and actions are reasonable, Jiang Baimian didn't dare to be careless at all since he had been in Wasteland 13 Ruins for too many days.

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled at Fei Lintong:

"Don't mind us asking so much, you see: this is Wasteland 13 Ruins; everyone must be honest with each other, unite as one, eliminate distrust, in order to maximize our own safety; so..."

These were all words that could stand the test, and Fei Lintong nodded as he listened. Wang Fugui, Waite, and the others didn't think there was any hidden meaning in it.

When the word "so" was said, Fei Lintong's expression suddenly twisted, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

His lips moved a few times, and he said in a low voice:

"The more dangerous it is, the more you have to take risks. As the saying goes, reversal is the movement of the Dao..."
