Uchiha of Zero Zone

With the death of the leader of the Wanderers and the revelation of the whereabouts of Lucius, the second-in-command of the Triumphers, it wasn't long before the reputation of the Sons of Calydon in the Outer Rim was cleared.

The most direct result of this was that the wanderers' previous plan failed. What was even more unacceptable to them was that the adult who had always provided them with help was also eliminated.

Without him, the wanderers were just a group of savages without any organization, and they didn't even know what to do. The only thing they could do was to rob and rob to barely make a living.

But such behavior is absolutely not allowed for the outer ring, which has a strong sense of unity.

So soon, all the major forces in the Outer Ring, led by the Triumphers, carried out a large-scale purge of the Wanderers that lasted for several months.

During these few months, countless members of the Wanderers were killed, and the remaining remnants were expelled from the Outer Rim. Some guys who had nowhere to go chose to return to New Elidu and surrender.

At least in this way, they can still enjoy humanitarian assistance, but this approach does not work for those death row inmates whose crimes are unforgivable.

......

As for Zhong Yan, since the Creator disappeared again, he returned to his stable campus life.

After several months of study, he had another vacation. This time, the arrival of the vacation meant that his high school career was about to end, with only one last semester left.

In the Shenwei Space, Ai Li had been interrogating the two captured Twelve Shields, but their mouths were very stubborn, more stubborn than ever before, so much so that Zhong Yan used all the criminal laws he could think of, but still could not pry their mouths open.

If it weren't for the fact that these half-human, half-skeleton creatures were unable to die normally, they probably wouldn't be alive today even if they were given a hundred lives.

There was no other way, Zhong Yan could only let Ai Li continue interrogating them. Even if he could get a little bit of information from them, it would be a huge gain.

At the same time, he also has another aspect that needs to be taken care of.

That's Ambi.

Six or seven months have passed since I learned that I was about to become a father.

Ambi's belly is much bigger than it was at the beginning, and now she has to go to the hospital for a check-up almost every four or five days.

Over at the Cunning Rabbit House, thanks to Zhong Yan's financial support, they haven't had to do anything extra in the past few months except taking care of Ambi.

Occasionally, they would help the Phaethon siblings deal with some matters that Zhong Yan was not suitable to deal with, but only one or two people would be sent out. At least Nicole always stayed by Ambi's side and did not leave.

The best news is that the confidentiality of this matter was well maintained.

At Zhong Yan's request, Cunning Rabbit House did not tell the Phaethon siblings about Ambi's pregnancy, so that until now, Ling did not know that Zhong Yan and Ambi had a child who was about to be born.

As for Ailian, since she didn't have a good relationship with the two and they didn't communicate much, it was naturally impossible for her to know about this matter.

However, truth cannot be hidden, and Zhong Yan had to find a way to tell them the truth in a way that they could accept.

So, Zhong Yan quickly found Ailian. In his opinion, Ailian should be more receptive to this matter. After all, the two of them were actually almost at that step.

At noon that day, it was snowing lightly outside. The heavy snow in the previous few days had already covered the entire New Elido.

In Guangying Square, cleaners are concentrating on clearing the snow on the road. If the snow is not cleared, the ground traffic in New Elido will be paralyzed.

As for the snow on the sidewalk, since there are always pedestrians walking on it, they can still make a path even without clearing it.

The place where Zhong Yan and Ai Lian agreed to meet was the cafe in Guangying Plaza.

Come to think of it, it seems that this is also where the two of them came when they skipped class for the first time.

The winter in New Ailidu is very cold, and even the river surface has traces of ice, so the two chose to drink coffee in a cafe. The air conditioner and heater were on, and the temperature was very comfortable.

"This cafe's business is really good." Ailian said in a light tone as she sat in her seat while waiting for the coffee to be made.

From beginning to end, she never looked up at Zhong Yan, but the corner of her eyes was always glancing in his direction.

On her hand, she was still wearing the shark bracelet that Zhong Yan had given her before. This cheap item from a cheap stall should have broken after one or two months of wearing, but now, half a year had passed and it had not broken at all, which showed that Ailian paid great attention to the maintenance of the bracelet.

This detail has already exposed her true inner thoughts, but it was her tsundere nature that was at work, so she showed an extremely cold attitude.

I don't know when this kind of personality will change.

"After all, it's in the city center. I heard that Guangying Square has now become a special planning area and may become the transportation core of New Elidu. Many businessmen from other places have come here to do business, making people's livelihood here very bad."

Zhong Yan supported his chin with his hand and stared at Ailian.

Ai Lian naturally noticed Zhong Yan's gaze. At the same time, she was struggling in her heart, wondering whether she should tell him about that matter.

No one else knew about that incident except Ellen herself, and she even discovered it by accident.

"Ailian." However, just as Ailian's emotions were surging, Zhong Yan spoke before her.

This time, Ai Lian had to look towards Zhong Yan, only to see that his expression was extremely serious, as if he was about to announce something particularly important.

This made Ailian's heart skip a beat, and she suddenly felt that she had to speak before him.

"There's something I have to tell you, otherwise I'll feel bad... and that won't do any good for you or me." Zhong Yan sighed softly. When he finally decided to tell Ailian about Ambi's pregnancy, he didn't notice it at all.

A blush that had never been seen before appeared on Ailian's face.

It wasn't just shyness, but something extremely symbolic, just like what she was hiding now.

"Ailian, do you still remember Ambi? You have met before. She and I already have..."

Zhong Yan started to speak, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ai Lian, or rather, he got there first.

"Zhong Yan..."

"I am pregnant."
