Chen Rui watched as Aileen left the tavern, realizing that this woman was the key figure for him to establish a foothold in the Tenth District. She seemed to have heard of him beforehand, and her calm demeanor in such a place indicated her significant status in the Tenth District.
Exiting the tavern, Chen Rui quickly navigated through several alleys and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated apartment building. This was the temporary accommodation he had arranged when he first arrived in the Special Zone. He opened the door and stepped into the rundown room, which was filled with dust. A solitary light bulb flickered overhead. In one corner stood an old computer, its screen flashing a few characters.
It seems my friend couldn't wait any longer, Chen Rui muttered to himself. He sat down in a chair and glanced at the text on the screen, which displayed bold black letters.
Want to know how to survive in the Special Zone? The message stood out prominently.
Aileen? Chen Rui chuckled softly and typed "yes" on the keyboard.
The text on the screen quickly updated: The first step is to learn to keep your mouth shut; ask fewer questions that shouldn't be asked. There are no friends in the Special Zone, only temporary allies.
And you? Chen Rui continued typing, Are you an ally or an enemy?
The screen paused for a few seconds before displaying a cold response: In the Special Zone, no one is forever an enemy, and no one is forever a friend.
Chen Rui frowned slightly; it was clear this woman spoke with caution. He knew that if he wanted to obtain valuable information, he would need to gain her trust further.
Just then, a new message appeared on the screen: Tomorrow night, Scrap Iron District, be there and bring weapons.
Scrap Iron District? That was the most chaotic area in the Tenth District, filled with abandoned vehicles and construction debris, a gathering place for small gangs and various black market dealings.
Chen Rui quickly typed "understood" as a response. The text on the screen disappeared instantly, and then it returned to black, as if no one had ever accessed it.
That night, Chen Rui arrived punctually at Scrap Iron District. The surroundings were dimly lit, and the air was thick with rust and decay. Abandoned vehicles and broken metal scraps loomed like monsters in the dark corners.
Chen Rui tightened his grip on the dagger at his waist and scanned his surroundings. This place should not be underestimated; a moment's carelessness could lead to an ambush. He had already heard about Scrap Iron District in the Special Zone; it was not only a trading ground but also an excellent place for murder and body disposal.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of metal clashing nearby as several figures emerged from the shadows. Leading them was Aileen. Dressed in black leather, she wore a cold expression and slightly raised her chin to signal him to follow.
What’s the mission? Chen Rui asked in a low voice.
Aileen glanced at him with a hint of scrutiny. You'll find out soon enough. But first, I have a small test for you to see if you're qualified to work with me.
Without saying a word, Chen Rui followed Aileen through a cluster of abandoned vehicles. Soon, he spotted a small group of figures gathered around an altered truck, seemingly engaged in some sort of transaction.
This is a small gang called Mad Shark Gang within the Special Zone; they have an important document that I need, Aileen whispered. Your mission is to obtain that document.
These people are dangerous, Chen Rui replied quietly, yet his tone showed no sign of retreat.
