Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Maxi spread the map out and placed it on the floor.

Be it the abandoned city, the woods, or the subway, they were all depicted on the map. Ye Ling studied the map carefully, and Shen Qianshu said, “Since there is a control switch, it should be hidden somewhere.”

Maxi said, “It could be so.”

Shen Qianshu thought of the sheer number of people who died in the tunnel and the corpses floating around. That was well-hidden enough. But if it was there, it would be too obvious. So it must not be. Otherwise, there would not be so many dead bodies there.

“Let me look a the map first. You guys should focus on watching them.”

…

Jack and Mu Yuan had already met up. Only the two of them were in the small town. This town was requisitioned by Black Rosel. They also gave the town citizens the ability to have wealthy lifestyles. Although they were a little hegemonic, from their past poor lives, they were rich, and it was all thanks to Black Rose. So, many people kept Black Rose very confidential. It was difficult for outsiders to integrate into the town.

Jack said, “This town is also protected by the local government. I have seen some interesting things here. Every four years, there would be a huge explosion in the desert. After the huge explosion, they would rebuild it, and the cycle repeats. What can you think of?”

“Black Rose’s selection test occurs once every four years, but why do they have to blow up the area?” Mu Yuan raised his brows. He could not really understand it. “We must have missed out on something. Ling is not in there. It’s too dangerous.”

Jack said, “We have to collaborate well. We are in Black Rose’s territory. The good thing is that Black Rose does not have any suspicions at the moment. Her selection test is equivalent to massive killings. I want to get rid of all of them. So, calm down. With this town as the center, we should continue talking to those people. They should know where it is.

While they were speaking, a pickup truck passed by suddenly. The pickup truck was well-armored, and they had a machine gun. 5 people stood at the back, and they were all fully equipped. All the men on board had their heads wrapped up, and only their eyes were revealed.

The car stopped at the center of the town. A man hopped off and grabbed a random man on the road. He seemed to be interrogating him.

Jack and Mu Yuan made eye contact. They picked up their equipment bags and left the hotel.

The two of them went towards the top of the building.

If things were as expected, they must be here to look for strangers in town.

This town was basically withdrawn from the world. Other than the locals and some people from nearby, there seldom were strangers here. After Ye Ling entered, Black Rose was afraid that someone would be guarding Ye Ling, so they wanted to get rid of all suspicious people in the town.

The two of them reached the top of the building and began their escape.

Black was the best color for cover.

They had just left when the group of people came to the hotel. Indeed, they were here for them.

They were no longer there, and the group of people cursed as they walked out.

Mu Yuan said, “I have an idea.”

Jack said, “Me too.”

…

An hour later, the small town had regained its peace. A few boys hopped onto the pickup truck, and the driver drove away. They did not find the person, and it was time for them to return. Mu Yuan and Jack blended in with them.

Jack and Mu Yuan had both put on colored contact lenses to cover up the color of their eyes. When they were on a mission outside, they had to prepare these things. They had to hide their skin color and eye color.

The pickup truck passed by the small town and sped towards a place that was 1 km away.

…

In the desert.

Ye Ling had studied the entire map thoroughly and circled some places. “Let’s check these areas. We will split up. Qianshu and I will be a team, and the two of you will be a team. After the search, we gather back here.”
