"Sorry, I don't think I heard you clearly just now. What did you say? You said you escaped from the First Courtyard?" The lord's gaze fell on Yiqing again. His increasingly deep eyes made it impossible to understand what he was thinking at the moment.

Yiqing nodded, "Yes."

He paced a few steps, looking like he was thinking about something.

"If it's as you said, since they were doing this, they should have built a solid wall around the place to prevent anyone from escaping. How did a woman like you escape from there?"

The suspicion on his face was just right.

It was obviously a normal reaction, but Yiqing felt that something was wrong.

She lowered her eyes and said, "It's just luck. Our group met a big boss who led us."

The lord was stunned, "You are not the only one who escaped?"

"Yes, there were at least twenty of us imprisoned together, and they all escaped."

"What's your name?"

Yiqing pursed her lips, "Chen Mu."

"Your last name isn't Xu?"

As soon as this question came out, Yiqing's heart sank instantly.

But she didn't show it in front of him, and just pretended to be a little confused and asked: "Yes, my last name is Chen, Erdong Chen, why do you ask me if my last name is Xu?"

"Then do you know someone named Xu Nian?"

Huahua raised her head in confusion.

Yiqing was originally holding her hand, and now he immediately squeezed her palm quietly.

But the lord had already noticed the little girl's reaction, and he smiled, "Little friend, you reacted to the name Xu Nian, you know her, right?"

He deliberately made his voice soft and acted harmless as he coaxed her.

I hold my breath while you lean on me.

My heart was beating faster, but I didn't dare show any abnormality on my face.

She would never lose her composure until the last moment.

"Who do you know?" Hua Hua looked confused and shook her head, "I don't know, I don't know."

"Children who lie will be eaten by zombies."

Huahua seemed to be frightened, and threw herself into Yiqing's arms with a "wow". "Don't let the zombies eat me! I really didn't lie. Don't ask me such weird things. I really don't know and I don't recognize them!"

The lord was a little disappointed, but he still asked, "Then why did you suddenly look up when I said the name 'Xu Nian'?"

"You guys have been talking for a long time, but I don't understand a word you said. It's so boring. I want to leave." After she explained the reason for looking up, she begged softly to Yiqing, "Sister, let's go. I really don't want to stand here all the time."

Yiqing looked at the lord a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, children don't have much patience."

The lord took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."

"But you really don't know Xu Nian?"

Yiqing hesitated for a moment, "Actually, I don't know if the lord is asking about the person I think. The big guy who helped us escape at that time seemed to be called this name."

"Then where is she now?"

"I don't know. She asked us to leave first, but I don't know whether she escaped or not."

The lord was very dissatisfied with the answer, but he didn't say anything.

"Sister, haven't you finished talking yet? I want to go home." Huahua spoke again.

Yiqing immediately turned his gaze to the lord, "Does the lord have any other questions? If not, I want to take her back."

"You guys go back first."

Before leaving, Yiqing deliberately said, "I hope the Lord will not forget what happened in the First Courtyard and must help the others who did not escape."

In fact, she knew in her heart that there was something wrong with this lord and there was basically little hope for this matter, but the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back. Now she could only put on a complete show to avoid arousing his suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble.

But the lord's next words made her realize that no matter what she did, the other party had never dispelled his suspicion of her.

"Little boy, what's your sister's name?" he asked Huahua.

"My sister's name is Mumu." Huahua looked up with an innocent look on her face. "Uncle, my sister just told you my name, how come you forgot it so quickly?"

The lord felt a little embarrassed to be called forgetful by a child.

But he couldn't argue with a child in public, so he could only wave at them and said, "Let's go."

Yiqing said goodbye and left with Huahua.

The lord stood there for a long time without moving.

The people around him noticed something and stepped forward to ask, "Lord, do you think something is wrong?"

"Go check the woman's registration at the base. I want to know her name and whether there was only one little girl or someone else traveling with her. If there was someone else, write down what that person's special abilities are and tell me."

As soon as the order was given, the people under him immediately obeyed, "Yes."

On the other side, Yiqing took Huahua and walked a long distance.

Seeing that there was no one around, Huahua couldn't wait to ask for praise, "Sister, was Huahua's performance great just now?"

"Great!" Yiqing gave her a thumbs up, making the child laugh so hard that her eyes could hardly be seen.

"How did Huahua know she should say that just now?"

"Sister's hands are wet. Huahua knows that you are nervous." The two of them were holding hands before, and Huahua felt it when Yiqing's hands were sweating. "Don't worry, sister, Huahua listened to what you said. Although I don't understand, Huahua remembers that you said your name is Chen Mu. Huahua will not ruin your show! Huahua will cooperate with whatever sister says."

Yiqing rubbed her head and said, "Huahua is so well behaved and smart."

"Of course, Huahua is the smartest in the world!" Huahua puffed out his chest, looking proud.

Yiqing smiled and continued walking forward with her.

After walking for a while, Huahua suddenly asked, "Sister, are we going home now?"

She remembered that she didn't come this way when she came.

"Not going home." Yiqing pursed her lips, "Something unexpected happened, now we have to leave quickly."

"Are you leaving the city?"

"Correct."

"What about my brother? Does he know we're gone?"

When Chen Hang was mentioned, Yiqing was silent for two seconds. "I can't contact him now. If we waste more time, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

Yiqing took Huahua and left through the west gate.

Soon after he went out, he heard someone behind him say to the gatekeeper, "The lord has ordered that from now on, only people can enter the city but not leave."

Yiqing immediately took two steps towards where there were more people to avoid their attention.

-

Chen Hang and his team spent a lot of effort and finally captured the mutated zombie.

Someone in the team was injured, and the accompanying water-based psychic immediately stepped forward to help him clean the toxins from the wound.

"Please help me clean up the virus. I don't want to turn into a zombie!"

"Don't worry, my ability is very reliable."

Others also helped to comfort him.

As they were talking, they changed the subject. "Although water-based abilities are healing, it would be nice if illnesses like colds and fevers could also be treated with abilities."

"Binzi, your child's fever hasn't gone down yet?"

"There is no medicine, so we can only lower his temperature physically. Unfortunately, the effect is not good, and he keeps getting sick again and again. I'm really afraid that if the temperature doesn't go down, he will get burned..."

He didn't say the unlucky words at the end, but everyone could understand it.

As someone who had fought side by side with him, Chen Hang patted his shoulder as a way of comforting him. "It's still early. Why don't we go look around and maybe we can find some antipyretic medicine."

"We can't find it." Binzi's eyes dimmed. "There are other people who are sick in the base. We have gone out to look for medicine before, but we couldn't find it."

"Actually..." The captain hesitated for several seconds before finally speaking, "The lord may be able to help us get some medicine."

Binzi looked up suddenly, "Captain, what do you mean by that?"

"There is a rumor that someone from the First Hospital Base came to discuss cooperation with our Lord yesterday. It is said that they have a lot of medicines. As long as the Lord helps them find a woman, they will send a batch of basic medicines once they find one."

Chen Hang's originally nonchalant expression suddenly became stern, and his fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.

Binzi was already impatiently asking: "What woman? What's her name? What are her characteristics? I can help you find her!"

The captain shook his head, "I don't know exactly."

Binzi lowered his head and thought for two seconds, then said anxiously, "Let's go back now. I'm going to find the lord. He must know. Even if we can't find that woman, the people from the First Courtyard might not have left yet. I might be able to get medicine for my child if I go and beg for help."
