A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 798 - 784: Mission

To be honest.

For a moment, Baiyu thought that if this little girl were in shackles, he would feel much safer.

He could sense a dangerous aura from her.

But.

This thought just flashed through his mind briefly.

That wasn't Baiyu's style.

Nevertheless.

It was still a courtesy to ask.

The little girl's calm face showed a trace of curiosity, and then she nodded.

"Alright, I hope I'm not releasing an enemy. Do you have somewhere to go? Want to tag along with me?"

Click.

Baiyu unlocked her shackles.

"Do you have the ability to speak normally?" He looked at the little girl, who was so quiet it made Baiyu wonder if she had some speech impediment.

"Yes."

The little girl answered Baiyu practically.

"Alright, do you want to come along? If I can learn more about you, I might be able to help you."

Baiyu extended his hand to her.

The little girl approached calmly, almost without saying a word, and the two got off the vehicle like this.

This scene.

Was somewhat eerie.

Baiyu got off the vehicle, and the little girl in white clothes was quite conspicuous in the black night, so he casually took the coat from Sand King's body and put it on her.

"How old are you?"

Baiyu intended to get close to her, to figure things out.

But the little girl's response was very slow.

Or rather, indifferent.

She shook her head and then said nothing more.

"Don't know? Then what's your name?"

Baiyu continued to ask.

"One."

The little girl's voice calmly uttered these two words.

Baiyu wanted to continue asking.

But the little girl suddenly said, "You're not from this world. I've seen people like you."

Baiyu's thoughts were interrupted for a moment.

Clearly.

This was something he hadn't anticipated at all.

"However, that's not important. More importantly, we have stayed here too long. The company will soon react. If we continue to stay here.

You'll encounter company people."

One stated, devoid of any emotion.

Baiyu glanced at the little girl, feeling he might have made a mistake letting her out.

But for now.

It wasn't the time to worry about this.

After taking out several gunmen, Wang Shenghua also walked over to join Baiyu.

However.

The moment she saw the little girl, she realized the trouble.

With things as they were, it would be troublesome bringing this girl along, no matter who she was.

Let alone.

The little girl clearly screamed trouble.

"This is a company experiment, used for genetic elixir research, named One."

Baiyu briefly introduced the little girl's background, and Wang Shenghua didn't dwell on it, simply saying, "Are we going back now?"

"Back, where else would we go?"

Baiyu turned his head to look at the little girl, "Do you want to return to the company?"

The consistently calm little girl's eyes finally showed a hint of fear, and she shook her head.

"Alright then. Can the company locate you?"

Baiyu asked.

The little girl shook her head again.

Baiyu was relieved, and he led her back to the inn.

The inn wasn't lively at night. Baiyu had chosen this place not only for its nice environment but also its great location.

Once out of the inn, walking a bit to the left leads to the company's largest residential area.

A lot of company residents lived here.

Of course.

Company residents weren't official members but were the lowest-level residents within the company.

In the eyes of the company's higher-ups.

These people were almost like livestock.

Besides providing enough genetic samples and substantial labor, they practically served no other purpose to the company's upper echelons.

However.

These people had been receiving company education since birth, generation after generation.

They saw nothing wrong with it.

They saw the company's words as the truth, and spontaneously worked on maintaining this status quo.

And honestly, compared to those living on the wasteland, their situation was somewhat better.

With these two conditions.

The company's dominion over the entire region was firmly established.

But clearly, the company hadn't enough resources to develop every residential point, so this densely populated area was divided into several zones, which further split into numerous smaller residential areas.

So to speak.

The large residential area was subdivided into over two thousand smaller areas, each with over a hundred people.

This made the situation very complex.

Even the action squad, a group tasked with dangerous missions, wasn't willing to enter here.

If the company started tracking.

Baiyu could quickly slip into the crowd here and slowly make a move.

Although the confrontation with the company was viable.

The Blood Qi, this precious resource in the Yellow Sand Realm, was not something he wanted to waste easily since the enemies in the Yellow Sand Realm were his fellow school students.

Those elites who graduated from holy Purple Crystal School.

The trio returned to the inn.

Wang Shenghua didn't need to sleep; in fact, after becoming a Resentful Spirit, aside from her body undergoing significant changes, many aspects were different from normal people.

For example, taste, smell, and pain.

Not that they didn't exist, but they were extremely faint.

That's the side effect of being a Resentful Spirit, just like Jiang Xi's zombie side effect that turned into a voracious appetite. Every Extraordinary Ability has its side effect.

To gain something, one must first lose something.

This is a well-known saying in the Extraordinary Realm.

Therefore Wang Shenghua didn't need to sleep, so the task of watching One at night was assigned to her.

Of course.

One didn't actually need to be watched.

You could just seat her on a chair, and she'd quietly sit there for hours or even a day.

She didn't need to sleep either.

Of course.

Baiyu previously didn't need sleep as well, but there was no cola in the Yellow Sand Realm.

Also.

He needed rest to maintain his energy levels.

Dozed off in bed until dawn.

Baiyu got up, just to see Wang Shenghua and One staring at each other like they were playing a game.

Seeing Baiyu got up.

Wang Shenghua exhaled, "Two pieces of news.

One, the company is on lockdown; entry and exit are very strict, it's tough to get out now.

Two, a mission has arrived, the action minister wants us to investigate the whereabouts of something, offering generous rewards, allowing us even to choose two Level Three Genetic Elixirs."

Baiyu looked at One, "Looks like you're really important to the company."

"If you take me back, they'll offer you more rewards." One said calmly.

Wang Shenghua seemed to seriously consider this.

But.

Baiyu already opened the door, ready to report to the action department.
