She was telling the truth.
Although the illegal area is their territory.
The Red Alliance is not omnipotent.
At least compared to David's power in Continent F, the Red Alliance does not have as many people available in the illegal area, and they are mainly hackers. If they really want to kill people or burn things, they are not very skilled in the business.
Qiao Nian was still thinking about the connection between the Zhai family fire and Nie Qingru. When she heard her mention those people, her white fingertips slightly bent and tapped on the table, making a "tap tap" sound. After a long while, she said nonchalantly, "I want to see someone."
**
The weather in the illegal area is extremely cold in winter.
The town is closer to the mountains and is much colder than the city.
Old Mrs. Xie is old and not as strong as young people. She couldn't stand the cold when the temperature dropped at night these two days.
The fact that Xie's father had not sent any news for a long time was also one of the reasons why she could not sleep or eat.
"How long are we going to be stuck here?"
"I've had enough of this godforsaken place!"
People from several families gathered downstairs again. Some complained angrily about the damn weather, while others complained that they couldn't stand the life here.
However, even so.
Everyone knew very well that they couldn't leave for the time being.
"Those people who are monitoring us outside haven't left yet?" Singer's face was gloomy, and his pretty face looked visibly more haggard.
She was wearing a red skirt with a nipped-in waist design and the hem of the skirt looked like a blooming gardenia, which made her look even more beautiful and charming. She was a beauty that every man would take a second look at.
However, no one's eyes were fixed on her at this moment. Everyone was paying close attention to the unfamiliar faces outside.
Some people were leaning against the car and smoking.
There were also people who looked like local residents carrying garbage bags to throw away their rubbish. These people all had a strong sense of hostility and were not ordinary people as they looked.
The families that were able to participate in the hunting of Ji Qing back then were not ordinary families. This time, they also sent younger generations from their own family to hunt down the last survivor of the South Alliance.
These people, like Singh, are people who have seen the world.
They knew very well how many eyes were hiding outside and how many snipers might be hiding in the dark.
Ever since they discovered the difference outside, they have never stepped out of the hotel. They have been huddled in the hotel, forming a subtle confrontation with the people outside.
"What does the Red Alliance want to do?"
"Since that day, that sun has never appeared again. She didn't show up and didn't let us go. What does this mean? Should we be sentenced to jail on the spot?"
Singh was so sharp-tongued that he was so angry that he moved his chair away and sat down, his chest heaving.
She couldn't understand what Qiao Nian was trying to do.
She was almost driven crazy by this tense and oppressive atmosphere.
"Have you contacted your family? What did they say?" someone asked her.
"Humph." Singer sneered and looked over unhappily: "What else can I say? My family said they are still trying to find a solution."
In fact, apart from being closely monitored, Qiao Nian and the Red Alliance did not cut off their contact with the outside world.
They can still make phone calls and surf the Internet.
Apart from not being able to leave here, that person didn't seem to restrict their actions, making it hard to figure out what she was trying to do.
The more Singer thought about it, the more irritated he felt. Just then, he saw Old Madam Xie coming down from upstairs. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Old Madam Xie say that she would be leaving here soon? Why is she still staying here like us? Could it be that she hasn't contacted her family yet?"
