Chapter 1391: Chapter 13: Bu Bu Wang’s Progress

Hot City, Mouse Street.

A few drunks walked arm in arm through the alley, the smell of alcohol masking their sweat. After a day’s hard work, only a few drinks at night could relieve their fatigue.

Hot City is very prosperous, at least most areas are, but even in this prosperous city, the existence of slums is inevitable. In this relatively technologically backward era, combined with the fierce folk customs of Hot City, the crime rate in the slums is high.

Mouse Street is the slum of slums, occupied by dozens of gangs, giving it an order different from other areas.

After midnight, Mouse Street belongs to the gangs and refugees, and even the security forces of Hot City won’t set foot here easily.

Mouse Street has three unbreakable rules: one, no human trafficking or human-related businesses, such as organ sales; two, do not attack Hot City citizens actively; three, no use of firearms or such hot weapons here.

To the civilians and security forces, the gangs of Mouse Street are lawless, but these gangs know that the truly terrifying force of the Geya Alliance is the military. If they dared to act recklessly here, the army only needs to send a battalion to uproot them within 24 hours.

Existence is reason; these gangs can do things that the official Geya Alliance finds inconvenient, such as controlling refugees with relatively bloody methods. For this reason, the Presidential Palace in Hot City turns a blind eye to the gangs of Mouse Street.

These gangs clearly have self-awareness and know what they can do. If a gang that rises doesn’t follow the rules, other small and large gangs will swallow this emerging rule-breaker in no time.

A truck drove along Mouse Street, with Su Xiao sitting in the passenger seat. The truck was sent by Leizong, and Su Xiao didn’t mind Leizong knowing about this.

On the contrary, Leizong’s involvement would allow Su Xiao to find the Secondary Space Coordinates more quickly. Whether it’s spies from the Sun Kingdom or traitors from his side, they are all enemies to Leizong.

From all sides, Leizong’s involvement would aid Su Xiao. Of course, Leizong could also gain merit in this incident, paving the way for his promotion.

Leizong, the leader of the Intelligence Organization, is not a saint. Women, money, and status—he likes them all, but they won’t blind him.

As the truck passed by, groups of three or five refugees could be seen along the streets. Clad in rags and with sallow faces, there was a fierce glint in their eyes.

"Wanna pull a job?"

A homeless man, draped in a dirty blanket and curled up by the street, spoke up, scratching the sores on his face as he spoke.

"He’s with the military."

"Then forget it, I thought he was from the Hot City security forces."

"Would the security forces dare come here at this time?"

"Uh, true."

The fierce glint faded from the eyes of the homeless men as they continued to stay curled up by the street. Like mice, they swarmed at food whenever it appeared, no matter what that food was.

In the truck, Su Xiao appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but he was actually contacting Bu Wang.

Bu Wang, that silly dog, was still on the icefield, having begun to form alliances within the Icefield Wolves. According to reports, the number two male wolf had already been recruited by him. Now Bu Wang was amassing forces, preparing to challenge the head wolf.

This situation arose because Su Xiao sent A Mu to support Bu Wang. Now, this duo of the fool and the glutton has become a significant group within the Icefield Wolf Pack, ranking second in influence.

According to Bu Wang’s description, ordinary animals in this world aren’t anything special, but some extreme north creatures have considerable intelligence, like the Icefield Wolf Pack, which has a complete hierarchical system.

These ferocious extreme north creatures are strong, but they don’t dare provoke humans, nor do they dare set foot on human territory, only living in the extreme north. Humans are the absolute top creatures; the army’s advance and hot weapon bombardment are unstoppable by extreme north creatures.

The situation on Bu Wang’s side seemed optimistic, so Su Xiao temporarily did not plan to meet up with him. Although A Mu is not weak in combat effectiveness, Su Xiao would soon head to the hot weapon battlefield, where A Mu would be nothing more than a thick-skinned target.

Screech—

The truck stopped abruptly, Su Xiao’s body tilting slightly forward.

"Mister Bai Ye, we’re here."

A young black man in the driver’s seat spoke, his skin like charcoal but his teeth shining white when he smiled. He was an Ega, and after joining the Geya Alliance, he became a Geya person.

"Where is this?"

Su Xiao pushed open the car door and got out. This was a relatively narrow street, lined with two- or three-story buildings. These buildings were pitch-black inside, and a faint stench wafted into his nose, a unique smell of the sewers.

"Mouse Street."

The young black man leaped over a ditch filled with foul-smelling water and quickly approached a three-story building, rhythmically knocking on an iron door.

A few men dressed in various outfits jumped out from the truck canopy. Some were construction workers, others tailors, but they all shared the same identity: special agents of Los Zhi’s Eye.

The group dragged out two long cloth bags from the truck canopy. There was some token struggle from inside the bags, but soon they were carried towards the three-story building by the men.

The rusty iron door of the three-story building opened, and a woman with a cigarette between her fingers and wearing black leather boots walked out. She gestured for the men to carry the two bags inside the building.

"Hello, I’m Sharin."

Sharin dropped the cigarette from her hand and greeted Su Xiao.

"Cuchulainn Bai Ye."

Su Xiao wasn’t sure why his fake name included Cuchulainn, but that was how the military’s record had it, so he wouldn’t actively expose any flaws.

"I’ve heard of you; I didn’t expect the two of us could actually work together."

Sharin was a charming beauty, and if it weren’t for the gun under her long skirt and the three poison blades hidden in her sleeves, she would surely attract a lot of successful suitors.

Poison Beauty Sharin, one of the top special agents under Leizong. There were rumors she had a fling with Leizong, but in reality, Leizong would never have physical contact with her. He didn’t want to die from poisoning.

Dying from accidentally poisoning oneself while flirting with a female subordinate—perhaps there’s no more disgraceful way to go.

"How long will it take?"

The reason Su Xiao came here was to obtain intelligence from the spy and the Archbishop through Leizong’s people.

"Can’t say for sure, that Archbishop named Spike is tough to deal with."

"How long at most?"

Su Xiao didn’t have much time. If it required several days of interrogation, he would have to find another way.

"In a hurry?" Sharin pondered for a moment and said, "If we use some extreme measures, it will take at most 12 hours."

"12 hours. I can accept that."

Su Xiao headed towards the three-story building on the street. Before he even entered, he could faintly hear cries of agony coming from inside.
