NOVPUBThe subway roared past, and Wu Bin hid in the maintenance access, completely terrified.
If it weren’t for Zhu Ling’s quick reflexes, he would have been the one sent flying just now.
Only after the subway had passed did Zhu Ling finally let go of Wu Bin.
"Alright, this time I didn’t even have to lift a finger to get it solved, let’s hurry up and get out of here, go somewhere crowded."
Wu Bin numbly nodded and continued to walk forward along the track.
Learning from the previous lesson, this time Wu Bin sprinted along the tracks, fearing another encounter like before.
When Wu Bin and Zhu Ling ran to another platform, the passengers there all looked at them with astonished gazes.
At that moment, an emergency notice appeared on the platform’s large screen, informing that the subway system would temporarily suspend service for maintenance and asking all passengers to orderly leave the station.
As soon as the two walked out of the subway station, a van suddenly stopped in front of them. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Before Wu Bin had a chance to speak, the door of the van opened, and Nightingale inside made a gesture to Wu Bin, signaling him to get in the vehicle.
No sooner had Wu Bin gotten in the car, than Nightingale asked, "What happened back at the subway station?"
It must be said that Division Nine’s people were quick to react.
Just as an incident occurred with Wu Bin, Division Nine had already sealed off the entire subway station.
Wu Bin said somewhat awkwardly, "I don’t know either, I just went out for a meal, and then I was chased by a weird fish, I’m also a victim here."
Nightingale had already reviewed the surveillance footage from the subway station and the seafood restaurant before finding Wu Bin, so of course, she knew he was being chased, but what she wanted to know was the reason behind the chase.
Wu Bin certainly wouldn’t admit that he carried the Phoenix Bloodline; no matter how Nightingale questioned him, he played dumb, sticking to an attitude of ignorance.
Just then, a knocking sound came from outside.
The door opened again, and a bloodied Han Biao stood outside, with a bleeding wound on his shoulder.
Seeing this, Nightingale immediately took out medical bandages to treat Han Biao.
Han Biao pulled out a cigarette from a cigarette case, lit it up, and said while smoking, "Damn, ran into three tough ones, even getting hit by a subway didn’t knock them out."
"Their attack method is also weird, actually using scales as a weapon, attack frequency felt almost the same as an automatic rifle, lost three brothers the moment we let our guard down."
Hearing Han Biao say this, Wu Bin also felt a bit upset.
The weird fish’s scale attack was indeed outrageous.
They were just ordinary scales, yet they could be shot out at high speeds, achieving an effect similar to bullets.
Although those weird fish didn’t have many scales on their bodies, it was enough to cause fatal injuries to the uninformed.
"Did you catch them?" Wu Bin asked.
Han Biao shook his head.
"As we were about to close in, those three creatures just self-destructed. The scene was left with nothing but some flesh and claws, didn’t get anything else useful."
"To figure out the origin of these creatures, we probably have to ask Dr. Jin to step in."
At this point, Han Biao gave Wu Bin a surprised look.
"Kid, you’re something, those three creatures, I’ve seen, are not slow when running. If they hadn’t been severely injured by the subway, we might not have been able to trap them."
"Did you train for sprints? No, that can’t be right; the young lady with you couldn’t possibly have trained as well, could she?"
Han Biao was completely baffled on how Wu Bin managed to escape from those creatures, finding it miraculous.
Of course, Wu Bin wouldn’t admit that it was because of Zhu Ling that he got away; he wasn’t ready to expose Zhu Ling’s identity, even though Dr. Jin might have already had some suspicions.
"Alright, there’s nothing else to do here. Go about your business; I’ll have someone follow you guys."
Han Biao wiped the blood off his body and turned to continue walking towards the subway entrance.
Even though what followed was just some routine scene investigation, who’s to say that other creatures wouldn’t appear?
So before the main forces arrived, the team led by Han Biao had to ensure that the remains of these monsters weren’t damaged or stolen.
After getting off the minivan, Wu Bin returned to the dormitory with Zhu Ling.
Since the school anniversary celebration had ended, the dormitory was rather empty; aside from Song Bing who was still out with Lin Nan on business, the other two had already gone back to their hometowns.
The first thing Wu Bin did upon returning to the dormitory was to take the quilt from his bedroom, lay it out in the living room and set it up.
Seeing Wu Bin doing this, Zhu Ling, who was drinking water, frowned.
"Bro, what are you doing?"
Wu Bin explained, "Oh, our sleep schedules are different, right? And I snore when I sleep, so I thought it’d be better for us to sleep separately."
Zhu Ling pouted, feeling somewhat displeased.
"I’m not afraid of your snoring, it doesn’t affect my sleep."
"But you affect my sleep."
Wu Bin said earnestly, "Don’t you know that you grind your teeth in your sleep? From now on, you can sleep in my bedroom, and I’ll sleep in the living room."
Wu Bin was determined to sleep separately from Zhu Ling.
After all, "The Dragon Clan is naturally licentious" were the words from Zhu Ling’s own mouth.
He didn’t want to find a girlfriend just yet, and it would be troublesome if Zhu Ling pounced on him by accident.
"Alright, stop standing there like a fool, go do whatever you need to do."
With a wave of his hand, Wu Bin sent the reluctant Zhu Ling back to the bedroom.
Late at night, in the wee hours.
Half-asleep, Wu Bin vaguely heard the sound of a door opening.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw Song Bing returning from outside, standing in the living room, motionless with his back to him.
Wu Bin yawned.
"Back so late? Hurry up and wash up, go to sleep, get some rest."
After Wu Bin said this, Song Bing nodded, turned around, and walked into his own bedroom.
Wu Bin felt something was off with Song Bing, but tiredness overcame him before he could think too much about it, and after rubbing his eyes, he soon fell back into a deep sleep.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when Wu Bin felt a heaviness on his chest, as if something was pressing down on him.
Opening his eyes, he found Zhu Ling actually lying on top of him, her drool dripping onto his chest.
The corner of Wu Bin’s mouth twitched as he reached out and pinched Zhu Ling’s ear.
"Zhu Ling, didn’t I tell you to sleep in the bedroom? What are you doing out here?"
Zhu Ling rubbed her eyes, mumbling,
"I can’t sleep alone; I can only sleep when I’m hugging you."
Bullshit!
So you’ve turned me into a human-shaped pillow, huh!
"Get off me right now and go back to sleep in the bedroom!"
Zhu Ling’s hands tightly embraced Wu Bin.
"No, I want to sleep here. Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll sleep."
Just as the two were at a tug-of-war, a chicken’s crow suddenly came from the kitchen.
Turning their heads, they saw Song Bing holding a knife, having just slit the throat of a live hen!
