Abyssal Kingdom

This is a high-end supermarket located in a wealthy area.

Wei An pushed the shopping cart and threw things into it. He was very proficient in shopping.

He dyed his hair before he came, and now he looks like an ordinary family man, familiar with all kinds of ingredients, and at the same time purchasing household items, he seems to be an ordinary person in a strange city, only concerned about what to eat at noon.

The paranoid monster he'd thought yesterday in the bathroom was what he was supposed to be, and now he's starting to feel like this suits him too.

Wei An walked through the supermarket and occasionally heard some discussions.

Some people are talking about things in the outskirts of the city, most of them are talking about how the evacuation is going, where they have been resettled, and how the living conditions are. There are a number of temporary rescue suites arranged in nearby communities.

Most of the people talk about life, this place is regarded as a wealthy area, but life is not good enough, the population has been greatly reduced under the rule of the previous force, Wei An heard them talk about dead relatives, missing people, someone's death The tragic fate can barely piece together the picture of the old disaster.

They discussed prices, saying that they don't know how long the local control will last. The small park next door is now beautiful and the number of wild ducks has increased.They were born and raised here and don't want to leave.

The city has been through a lot, but people continue to live.

When Wei An walked through the seasoning aisle, he heard a resident recommend a sauce to a neighbor and how to make it delicious. Wei An listened to it for a few minutes and bought a bottle to go back and try it.

Everything went well this time, he paid the bill, and went home with the ingredients like a normal grocery shopper.

Wei An lived in a residential community with beautiful scenery. They lived in the tallest building, and there were other relatively lower but equally luxurious floors, villas, commercial streets and other places scattered around.

But now everything looks a little bleak, the occupancy rate in the community is extremely low, and it looks like a ghost town at night.

But when he crossed the street to go home today, he saw some lively scenes. Several buses were parked nearby, many people came down with their luggage, and a few people in federal army uniforms were looking after them.

Wei An recalled the evacuation arrangements he saw in the news, and what he heard today. There is a temporary settlement here, right next door to their building. Since the Yinwan Incident, the local army has always acted as if they were facing a big enemy and kept strangers away. looks, but people's livelihood is still very actionable.

Holding the ingredients, Wei An paused slightly, and glanced across the crowd.

No one paid special attention to him. These people are residents of the northern suburbs. There are not too many local people, and the accident did not cause casualties. Everyone has no objection to temporarily staying in this expensive community, and their expressions are not even depressed. They are all excited. Chatted about how amazing the sights were in the morning.

He stopped because he could smell blood.

It's very thick, and it's in this group of people.

At this moment, he had goosebumps, and the others were chatting normally, as if they didn't smell it.

Wei An knew that this should be related to the deep domain system. The smell of blood was like a living thing. He was among the crowd and walked towards the resettlement point of the community.

He looked at the ingredients for a while, turned around, and went home.

Wei An started to prepare lunch.

The snow had stopped, the view was good and the weather was clear.

The weather system was not normal, and the clouds were concentrated at the accident site. It was still a scene of black mist, but it was just a black line from this distance.

Wei An checked the news again, it showed that the crowd had been evacuated, the situation was under control, and life in the city was very peaceful.

Wei An withdrew his thoughts.

At noon today, he was going to make sweet and sour pork ribs, so he called Gui Ling over to help.

That is, washing the fruit, handing out the dishes and so on, can't help much, he just likes him here.

The man's hands and feet are actually not very dexterous, and it's normal to have some sequelae after being nailed for so long.He moved slowly, but seriously.Wei An saw that his hands trembled occasionally, he would stop for a while, and continue to do it, peacefully coexisting with this state.

They processed their lunch slowly, without using any special abilities, only Guiling sometimes threw garbage into the void, and the rest were ordinary people doing things in the kitchen.The energy detection in Yingtian is relatively strict. They don't want to use their abilities on a large scale, and when they really live a normal life, they find that they don't need them at all.

Those transcendent, destructive powers are never what you need for a happy life.

They chat while cooking.

Wei An casually talked about what happened outside today.

"...It feels like something is coming out of the black mist area," Wei An said, "Is it possible?"

"I don't know," Guiling said, "Yingtian and his group have done many large-scale experiments before, and anything can happen in that kind of place."

"They will screen everyone for abnormal data later," Wei An said, "The equipment brought by the federal army is quite complete, so it should be able to control the situation."

"hope."

Wei An glanced at the direction of the resettlement area. The outside world was very calm, nothing happened, and they didn't say anything about it.

Hope it's okay.

Wei An does make great ribs, and the recipe I heard is also very delicious.

Although the situation is not good, some people said that this neighborhood is a ghost town when shopping for vegetables, but Wei An is very happy at the moment.

He knew this was not a place to live forever, but he didn't want to think about the future.

Wei An was thinking about what to have for dinner when there was a knock on the door.

He quickly turned his head to look, and the air froze for a while.

There are not many people in this building. They only came last night, so no one should knock on the door.

Wei An took a breath, exchanged glances with Gui Ling, ready to kill anyone at any time, and then went to open the door with a smile on his face.

He had imagined that when he ran into the Ministry of Science, the Federal Army, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or other anti-human forces, there might be a lot of people who troubled them, but this was not the case in front of him.

At the door was a respectful middle-aged man with a good image, wearing a crumpled but formal uniform, with a smile on his face, he said, "Welcome to the 'Paradise Floor', is this Mr. Cheng?"

This was the original owner's last name.

Wei An looked at the "Heaven Housekeeper" sign on his chest, and belatedly thought, of course there will be managers in this most expensive building, who are responsible for handling all kinds of trivial matters in life.

He thought that there was no administrator in this place, and there were only a dozen households left in this building, but there was actually a uniformed housekeeper on standby.

This also explains all the problems. Of course, this kind of person knows the occupancy situation of this building, because he can see the cost of all energy.

Wei An didn't comment on the question of "Mr. Cheng", and the other party didn't mind, and continued to say enthusiastically: "That's right, because some owners have been reporting that they heard some strange voices...so I'm here to ask, you guys have heard some strange voices since yesterday. Check in, did you hear anything?"

"Strange sound?" Wei An said.

"Yes," said the other party, "it's okay, it's normal if I didn't hear it! It's just strange shadows and sound noises. It may be caused by 'returning home', and it will definitely not affect the housing price!"

Wei An heard the word "return home" in the supermarket today, it seems to be a common word in the local area, so he didn't ask carefully.

"Don't worry, it's all trivial," said the butler. "Please don't panic when you hear strange noises, and you don't need to go online for help. Just call me. This is my business card."

Wei An took it over, and the other party continued: "The government has been a bit busy recently, and has not been able to take care of such incidents in time, but it will be cleaned up in the end, and it will definitely not affect housing prices."

"Yeah." Wei An said.

The other party smiled, and then said: "There is one more small thing. According to the latest regulations under the military control of the Federal Army, any new resident in the community needs to do a small registration—"

This is indeed a trivial matter, Wei An probably considered the rhetoric of this kind of matter yesterday.

With a very credible smile on his face, he said: "No need to register, I work in the technical department of the garrison investigation team, and I am on vacation. According to the "Secrecy Act", there is no need for public reporting. This is my electronic certificate——"

He took out his mobile phone and tapped, and asked Wutong to quickly generate a fake certificate for him, with a flowing high-simulation electronic seal on it.

He couldn't get the real thing out, but with the technology of ancient civilization, it couldn't be easier to make an electronic fake certificate.

The butler checked it out, showing a surprised expression.

"So Captain Xu," the man said, "Great, something strange has happened in our community recently, and no one has been sent to investigate, and the owners are very scared. The thing is like this——"

"I'm on vacation." Wei An said.

The other party looked at him for two seconds and said, "But according to the latest regulations issued by the Ministry of Rescue just the day before yesterday, members of the Federal Army are obliged to deal with all incidents that may endanger human life and health if there is a request from the public, otherwise they can file a complaint."

"What do you mean?" Wei An said.

"You are the captain," said the steward, "you must have connections to help our community solve this case, right? The penalty for complaining is very serious."

Wei An couldn't believe that he was involved in such an argument.

"I said I'm on vacation, you can't make a successful complaint," he said.

"But everyone is busy now, the investigation period is too long, it will affect your promotion and bonus." The uninvited guest said.

Wei An stared at him, and the other party looked like he would call to complain at any time.

Wei An is too familiar with this process, and knows very well that his threat is achievable.There is no problem with his identity card, but he might have been exposed because of TM's complaint.

"Okay," Wei An said with a cold face, "I'll go and have a look."
