Chapter 102 Anshan Cemetery
"Hey... what do you mean by this? Do you really think of my place as a daycare?"
In the Nancheng Military Police Bureau, Yuan Wen looked at Li Tianran with a slightly collapsed expression, then glanced at Hanhan, who was wearing a bear pajama, and said, "I have to work tonight!"
"I'm sorry, I really have something urgent to do tonight. There's no one to take care of Hanhan. Can you help me? I'll be back soon."
Li Tianran stood in the duty office of the Military Police Bureau, looking somewhat anxious.
Three minutes ago, he came here to find Yuan Wen, wanting her to help take care of Hanhan.
He had to go to Anshan Cemetery right away.
As for why he didn't leave Hanhan at home...
He felt uneasy, sensing that something might happen tonight. He felt that even the farm wasn't safe enough after he left.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in the Battle Warriors, but he felt that the farm's intelligent system wasn't perfect enough. If something unexpected happened, it might not be able to handle it well!
The Military Police Bureau was currently the safest place in Nancheng. Li Tianran couldn't think of any place with tighter security.
Even the most insane people or creatures wouldn't be able to attack this place.
"What happened?" Yuan Wen asked, noticing Li Tianran's unusual expression.
"There's a problem with my parents' graves..." Li Tianran didn't say much, only revealing a little. He was in no mood to discuss these issues with Yuan Wen right now.
Li Tianran going to the cemetery in the middle of the night?
Yuan Wen couldn't help but shudder. Even though she was a military police officer, she still felt a sense of fear towards that kind of place.
She glanced at Hanhan, a six or seven-year-old girl. If she followed Li Tianran to that kind of place in the middle of the night, it would indeed be a bit too much...
"Then let Hanhan stay here. Anyway, I don't have to go out tonight..." Yuan Wen thought for a moment and agreed, using her police uniform coat to pick up Hanhan and place her on the single bed in the duty room.
"Hanhan, listen to Auntie Yuan. Don't cause trouble. Brother will be back to pick you up soon," Li Tianran instructed gently. "If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Don't run around."
"But Hanhan wants to go with Brother," Hanhan said pitifully, grabbing Li Tianran's sleeve. "Don't leave Hanhan behind."
"Hanhan, be good. Auntie will tell you a story later," Yuan Wen said, hugging Hanhan and coaxing her with a smile.
Hanhan was very sensible. She could tell that Li Tianran had something important to do, and she also understood that if she followed Li Tianran at this time, she might be a burden. She reluctantly nodded.
Li Tianran stepped out.
*Pa!*
Suddenly, a key was thrown over, and Li Tianran caught it.
"Take my car, your truck... is too slow." Yuan Wen blinked. "I'm warning you in advance, don't get into fights! I don't want to have to bring Hanhan over to arrest you in the middle of the night!"
Li Tianran looked at the Audi car key in his hand, and a warm current surged in his heart.
In this cold world, besides Hanhan, there were others who showed him kindness.
This feeling... was good!
*Weng!*
The engine roared, and a white Audi A4 shot out of the Military Police Bureau gate like a wild horse, disappearing into the night sky.
Just then, the door to the duty room opened again.
A young military police officer with a stiff face like a poker card walked in, glanced at Yuan Wen and Hanhan, and suddenly a bright light lit up in his eyes. He strode over and asked in an excited tone, "She... she's that Li Tianran's sister, right?"
"Yuan Yi... what do you want?" Yuan Wen looked at Yuan Yi with a wolfish expression and couldn't help but warn, "You want to eat a child? I'll skin you alive!"
"I want to fight your brother again! Can you help me arrange a match?" Yuan Yi grabbed Hanhan's hand and said sincerely, "I've found a way to counter the move he used to break my knee!"
This sentence was very convoluted, but Hanhan seemed to understand.
She blinked and asked, "You wanna fight with my big brother?"
"Spar! It's sparring!" Yuan Yi corrected.
Hanhan shook her head.
"You refuse? Why?" Yuan Yi was angry.
"I'm scared." Hanhan bit her lip and said timidly.
Yuan Wen raised her eyebrows. Seeing Hanhan's pitiful appearance, a surge of maternal love welled up in her heart. She grabbed Yuan Yi's ear and scolded, "Yuan Yi, are you crazy? The little girl is so young, and you're talking about fighting and sparring in front of her? Get out! Get out!"
Yuan Yi struggled, freed himself from Yuan Wen's grip, and then a stiff smile like that of a victor appeared on his face. He looked at Hanhan and said, "Little sister... you don't have to be afraid. I'm very careful when I fight. I won't hurt your brother."
"I'm scared..." Hanhan rolled her eyes and said in a disdainful, arrogant, condescending tone, "I'm scared big brother will beat you to death!"
The smile on Yuan Yi's face froze.
Yuan Wen held back for a long time, finally bursting out laughing.
The originally deserted duty room gained a hint of warmth and joy with Hanhan's arrival...
Two adult-level Battle Warriors with red glows in their eyes silently infiltrated the darkness.
...
At this time, warmth had nothing to do with Li Tianran.
He drove the vehicle, heading all the way to the suburbs.
On the passenger seat next to him was the Wujin Tang Blade. Since the last time he was shot by Bai Jingyan's people, he had realized that firearms were actually extremely limited in their lethality against some creatures with mutated bodies.
If a bullet was stuck in a bone, it couldn't cause fatal damage at all.
Compared to some light firearms, cold weapons were obviously more effective against mutated creatures.
With Li Tianran's current strength, enough to cut through steel with a single strike, the power he unleashed was definitely much stronger than the lethality of an ordinary bullet.
Apart from heavy snipers and RPGs, no firearms could compete with him.
If he were to face that mutated yellow ox from the first day of the cataclysm again, he could directly cut off the spine of that tank-like yellow ox with a single strike, instantly killing it!
Soon, Anshan Cemetery arrived.
Ahead was a stretch of gray, dull hills, with only a faint light. Apart from that, the surrounding area looked dead silent and eerie.
For some reason, seeing this scene made Li Tianran inexplicably think of a net trap for catching birds and beasts, seemingly calm but actually hiding waves and dangers.
*Squeak!*
Li Tianran parked the car.
*Weng!*
A dozen Hummingbird-class Battle Warriors and two Patrol-class Radar Sentries silently appeared from the darkness behind Li Tianran, and then silently disappeared into Anshan Cemetery ahead.
Li Tianran closed his eyes. In his mind, the light spots representing the Battle Warriors were moving quickly.
He was thinking that tonight's Anshan Cemetery was likely a trap, and the other party was very clear about Li Tianran's weaknesses and what he cared about!
Otherwise, there were no valuable funerary objects in his parents' graves, and they weren't important figures, so who would target them?
"No ambush?" Li Tianran suddenly opened his eyes.
This result surprised him.
Within the vast, dark Anshan Cemetery, there was no one lying in ambush. The images transmitted back by the Radar Sentries showed that there was no one else here except for a cemetery caretaker!
"What exactly is going on? Who moved my parents' graves? What's the purpose?" Li Tianran frowned and was silent for a moment before striding out of the car.
Xiao Hei followed behind him, heading towards the small house with a faint light at the foot of the mountain.
