Uchiha of Zero Zone

The matter concerning the Red Tooth Gang came to a temporary end as Zhong Yan and his men emerged from the cave.

As for Nekomata, after being taken to the hospital and receiving effective treatment, she eventually joined the Rabbit House at Zhong Yan's request.

Afterwards, Zhong Yan specially treated several people to a big meal as a way of thanking Nicole for her broad-mindedness. Without her nod, it would have been almost impossible for the cat to join the Cunning Rabbit House.

As for Uchiha, even though he killed Shiro, Nekomata had no intention of seeking revenge.

Aside from the fact that their own strength was completely not in the same league, the more important reason was that in her impression, the other party was not a vicious person. Apart from the fact that the massacre of the Red Tooth Gang was somewhat criticized, there were no other problems.

Moreover, in the eyes of others, Uchiha's massacre of the Red Fang Gang might not be a bad thing. After all, in their eyes, the Red Fang Gang were terrorists who deserved to die, but Uchiha did not follow the Public Security Bureau's criminal prosecution procedures.

In short, this incident can be described in four words: very gratifying.

Nekomata's position is different from others, and her views on this matter are also different, but she will not label Uchiha because of this incident. After all, there are many other things that can label him.

If I have to use one word to describe him, it would be "righteousness leading to evil".

......

a few days later.

It has been a while since the cavity disaster broke out. During this period, the cavity investigation association and the Public Security Bureau are still carrying out follow-up work. Most areas of Fourteenth Street are no longer suitable for human habitation because of the disaster.

Those homeless people were temporarily placed by the authorities in hotels prepared in advance, and they would be allowed to leave after they found a place to go.

As for Zhong Yan, his life returned to normal. After a few days of rest, his condition was successfully restored.

Today was a rare holiday, and with nothing to do, he slept until noon before getting up. The first thing he did was to sit in front of the computer and start preparing the contents of the latest volume.

There were less than three days left before the deadline to send the first draft to the editorial department, but he had not even completed half of the work.

Zhong Yan was not too panicked about this. After all, there was not much content in one volume, and he had already prepared the outline. Now he just had to fill in the content according to the outline and then expand it.

However, just as his hands were about to press the keyboard, his attention was suddenly attracted by the safe placed in the corner.

The safe contained Fairy, one of the four major artificial intelligences of New Elido.

Speaking of which, he has been recuperating these days, so he has not yet handed this thing to the brother and sister.

Today happens to be a holiday, so I can go to Liufen Street to visit them.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yan took his hands off the keyboard, but when he remembered that there were less than three days left before the submission date, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Should I write an article or go to Liufen Street to visit the brother and sister?

Zhong Yan’s final choice was to do two things at the same time.

He just stretched out his index and middle fingers and placed them vertically in front of him. The next second, accompanied by a puff of smoke, a shadow clone with the same appearance as him appeared from it.

Wouldn’t it be great to let your shadow clone write the script for you?

Zhong Yan was extremely impressed by his own cleverness, but the summoned shadow clone rolled his eyes at him, then sat in front of the computer with a reluctant look on his face and started typing on the keyboard.

Isn't this much more useful than those intelligent AIs? It's really worth it that Zhong Yan spent such a huge amount of money to exchange for this ninjutsu. It can be said that it is worth it.

......

Let’s move a little further back in time, to the Random Play video store on Liufen Street.

It was afternoon at this time, and because it was a holiday, there were many more customers in the store than on weekdays.

Fortunately, since No. 18 Bomb was guarding the front desk, and the clerk who was hired for free because of his hobby was also in the store, the brother and sister did not seem to be very busy.

Zhe was checking the news of the past few days in the archives room, while Ling was in her room, holding her cell phone, ready to send a message to Zhong Yan.

In fact, she had wanted to do this half an hour ago, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of how to greet him.

"It's really too abrupt..." Looking at the long string of greetings that have not been sent on the phone, Ling sighed and deleted them all.

After that, she typed a few more sentences but never sent them out. She felt there was something wrong with this or that, but she just couldn't find a sentence that satisfied her.

After deleting and reducing, she finally only sent two words.

【Ling: Are you there? 】

What a simple greeting, but a little too simple.

After sending these two words, Ling lay on the bed and placed her cell phone next to her pillow, as if waiting for someone's verdict.

Only about ten seconds had passed when the phone next to the pillow suddenly vibrated, which made Ling overjoyed. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed a reply from Zhong Yan.

【Zhong Yan: Yes.】

【Ling: Where are you? 】

【Zhong Yan: Downstairs from your house. 】

When Ling saw this sentence, she was stunned at first, then she immediately jumped up from the bed, ran to the bed and stood on tiptoe to check, and she actually saw Zhong Yan across the street.

At this time, Zhong Yan was talking with the image ambassador of the Public Security Bureau, Chief Miao Ji. No one knew what they were talking about, but the smile on Zhong Yan's face never stopped.

I guess it’s because the other person’s voice is a little too funny.

After finishing the conversation with Chief Miao Ji, Zhong Yan turned around and walked straight towards the video store.

His fingers tapped on the phone screen a few times, and soon, Ling received his message.

[Zhong Yan: Is it convenient now? I need to discuss something with you and your brother.]

[Ling: Of course it’s convenient. Please wait in the hall for a while. I’ll go call my brother.]

After sending this message, Ling rushed downstairs and found Zhe who was checking the news in the archives room.

When Zhe learned that Zhong Yan actually came to visit, he was very surprised. He quickly invited him to the archive room and locked the door to prevent the conversation between the three from being overheard by others.

"I thought it would take a long time before we meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Zhe spoke first, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Zhong Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "When I'm busy, I'm very busy. Once I have some free time, I can't wait to find something to do."

"You may be free, but your visit this time is not because of your free time, right?"

"That's natural."

As he spoke, Zhong Yan reached into his pocket and quickly pulled out a data storage device similar to a USB flash drive.

"I came here this time to give this thing to you."
