Chapter 123: A's safe zone

During their short stay in E City, the four of them did not acquire identity cards for themselves, thus, they need to go through the proper procedure now to get one. Actually, they could have taken advantage of Long Zhanye's special status and avoid a lot of inconveniences. However, prompted by a sudden impulse, Huo Zaiyuan wants to abide by the safe zone's law and go through the entire process like a good citizen. Which is why they are currently lining up with the other survivors before the left-side gate.

Since everyone is willing to wait in line, Long Zhanye naturally doesn't object. Under the flabbergasted and astounded gaze of the poor guard, the violent and sadistic bastard of a Lord Captain Long surprisingly queued up to register his name with a patient smile on his face.

The moment the crew in charge of registration notice their Boss waiting in line, their speed increases ten-fold. On a typical day, it would have taken an hour for them to get to Huo Zaiyuan, but this time, only half an hour passed before it was his turn.

"Your name, please?" The soldier asks Huo Zaiyuan in an extremely deferential tone, albeit a little stiff. His eyes dart towards the insipidly smiling man standing over the youth's shoulder from time to time, heart trembling in his ribcage.

Heavens ah, that demon king is unexpectedly acting so gentle and protective towards this white lotus little older brother. This unassuming person must surely be even more incredible than the demon king...

Seeing the strained expression on the soldier's face, Huo Zaiyuan flashes him a warm smile. "Huo Zaiyuan."

"Huo...eh? Huo Zaiyuan...Ah! I know you! You're the escaped criminal Boss sent out a pursue warrant for!!" Upon hearing Huo Zaiyuan's name, the man's eyes brighten as he crows in delight at remembering something.

Huo Zaiyuan's smile disappears instantly even as Long Zhanye's expression stiffen, glaring bloody murder at the soldier.

On the receiving end of the demon king's killer scowl, the man begins to shiver like a dead leaf in the wind.

He – he's done for. But why does he also feel as if he brought up a taboo topic?

"Continue." Staring at the trembling soldier, Huo Zaiyuan finally speaks.

Exactly how much do these soldiers fear the man standing behind him ah? Why is it almost every single one of them resemble a lamb facing a wolf?

"E – eh..."

"Not going to hurry up and continue?! What are you daydreaming about?!" Long Zhanye's annoyance deepens further as the soldier stutters, clearly still trying to comprehend what just happened.

"Y – yes, Sir!"

The man jumps slightly like a startled cat at Long Zhanye's sudden snappish tone before reverting to as professional an attitude as he can with his Boss glaring at him. With a meticulous and careful approach, he handles Huo Zaiyuan's registration swiftly.

Because Huo Zaiyuan is together with Long Zhanye, even the bravest person wouldn't dare to ask Huo Zaiyuan to stay the night in the separate district for observation. Generally, survivors would need to remain in the separate district for a period of time in order to ensure they are not infected in any way before an access card is handed to them. However, the soldier immediately hands over the pair's cards after noting down the necessary information.

Once Qin Jun's and Li Qing's cards are passed over as well, the four are respectfully seen off.

Ai...such a pressurising moment is finally over.

"Long Zhanye, it's all your good deeds, making me an escaped criminal." As soon as they reach a place with no one around, the normally serene person finally explodes, pinching Long Zhanye's ear. Naturally, he makes sure not to use a lot of strength.
